Ratio of earnings to fixed charges		1.6		1.5		—			—

For purposes of calculating the unaudited ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income (loss) before income taxes and minority interest plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest charges and amortization of debt issuance costs, whether expensed or capitalized, the portion of rental expense that is representative of interest, and preferred share accretion. For the three months ended December 31, 2003, earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charge requirements by $7,099. For the six months ended December 31, 2003, earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charge requirements by $13,272.
