For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income before income taxes plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of (i) interest expense, (ii) amortization of debt issuance costs, and (iii) that portion of rental expense we estimate to be representative of interest. Earnings would not have been sufficient to cover fixed charges by $33.1 million and $42.2 million for the predecessor period from February 1, 2006 through March 9, 2006 and the successor period from March 10, 2006 through January 31, 2007, respectively.
