The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing fixed charges into income (loss) before income taxes, minority interest,
extraordinary items and the cumulative effect of accounting change less equity in the income (losses) of investments plus fixed charges
less the preference securities dividend requirement of consolidated subsidiaries. Fixed charges include, as applicable, interest expense,
amortization of debt issuance costs, the estimated interest component of rent expense, and the preference securities dividend
requirement of consolidated subsidiaries.
The pro forma ratio gives effect to the issuance of the 6% Convertible Subordinated Notes as of the beginning of fiscal 2000, and the
repayment of bank borrowings with the proceeds from the offering for the year ended September30, 2000.
