(a) For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings (losses) to fixed charges, earnings (losses) consist of income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes plus fixed charges (excluding interest capitalized). Fixed charges represent interest incurred, premium on early retirement of debt, if any, amortization of debt expenses, and that portion of rental expenses on operating leases deemed to be the equivalent of interest.
