Ratio of earnings to fixed charges (times) | 0.9 | 1.3 | 0.2 |
For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of (loss) income before income taxes plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of (i) interst expense, including gains and losses on early extinguishment of debt, (ii) amortization and write-off of debt issuance costs, and (iii) the portion of rental expense we estimate to be representative of interest. Earnings would not have been sufficient to cover fixed charges by $1.5 million and $21.7 million for the fiscal years ended January 31, 2013 and 2011, respectively.
