No, the numbers add up; it's a line-wrapping problem. 

Let me reformat this to make it clearer (truncating descriptions so it
doesn't happen again...):

( 0.2 + 0.7 +  3.4 + 0.0 + 0.0) = 4.3
(-2.6 + 1.2 +  0.0 + 0.0 + 2.0) = 0.6
( 0.7 + 0.0 + -0.1)             = 0.6
                          Total = 5.5

Arithmetic. Woo.
