(b)    The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was less than 1:1 for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001. In order to have achieved a ratio of earnings to fixed charges of 1:1, we would have had to have generated an additional $984 and $215 million of earnings in the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.
