NOTE: Debt to Total Capital is defined as the ratio of Total Debt (including notes payable, current
portion of long-term debt and long-term debt) to Total Capital (the sum of Total Debt and

Cash Equivalents to Total Capital. Management believes these ratios provide useful information to
investors regarding the Company's debt leverage in relation to the size of its available capital base
and existing cash resources. Management uses these ratios to evaluate the Company’s leverage over
time to help determine the ability of the Company to access additional borrowing capacity. These
ratios do not however necessarily indicate the ability of the Company to satisfy the debt service
requirements in existing or future debt agreements. These ratios should be considered in addition to,
and not in lieu of, other measures of liquidity including working capital prepared in accordance with
GAAP.

NOTE: Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow less purchases of property, plant and equipment. Management
believes that free cash flow provides useful information to investors regarding the Company's ability to generate cash
without external financings. Management uses free cash flow to help gauge the resources available for strategic
opportunities such as making acquisitions, investing in the business and strengthening the Company's balance sheet, and
uses this measure in making operating decisions, allocating financial resources and for budget planning purposes. Free
cash flow does not, however, take into account the Company's debt service requirements and other non-discretionary
expenditures and therefore is not necessarily indicative of amounts of cash that may be available for discretionary uses.
Free cash flow should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, cash flow from operations, net earnings and other
measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP.
