Ratio of earnings to Fixed Charges (1)		—			—			—			—			1.20		1.08		—			—

(1) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed by adding income before income taxes and fixed charges to derive adjusted income, and dividing adjusted income by fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense on debt (including the amortization of debt expense) and one-third (the proportion deemed representative of the interest portion) of rent expense.

For the six months ending June 30, 2011, the seven months ending December 31, 2010, the one month ended June 30, 2010, the five months ended May 28, 2010, and the years ending December 31, 2007 and 2006, the ratio of earnings to fixed charges indicates earnings are inadequate to cover fixed charges as defined above. The deficiency totals are $7,859, $11,163, $7, 836, $27,673, $5,521 and $5,604, respectively.
