General.

At December 31, 2004, the Company had outstanding indebtedness totaling $$352.869 billion, consisting of notes payable within one year, senior notes payable after one year and subordinated notes payable after one year. The total amount of outstanding indebtedness at December 31, 2004, excluding subordinated notes payable after one year was equal to $352.049 billion.

Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges.

The information contained in the Prospectus under the caption "Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges" is hereby amended in its entirety, as follows:

		Year Ended December 31,
2000	2001	2002	2003	2004
1.52	1.72	1.65	1.83	1.87

For purposes of computing the consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of net earnings adjusted for the provision for income taxes, minority interest and fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest and discount on all indebtedness and one-third of rentals, which the Company believes is a reasonable approximation of the interest factor of such rentals.
