| N/A |
|
(A) “Earnings” are defined as pre-tax income from continuing operations, adjusted for undistributed earnings of less than majority owned subsidiaries and fixed charges excluding capitalized interest.
(B) “Fixed charges” are defined as interest on borrowings (whether expensed or capitalized), the portion of rental expense applicable to interest, and amortization of debt issuance costs.
(C) Fixed charges exceeded earnings by $4 million for the six months ending March 31, 2007, resulting in a ratio less than one.
