(1) The interest included in fixed charges is interest on third party indebtedness. Interest expense accrued on uncertain tax positions is excluded from the calculation of earnings because that amount was presented as a component of income taxes. | |||||||||||||||
(2) Historically, Belmond has been using one-third of rent expense as a reasonable estimate of the financing component of rent expense, since it is impracticable to determine the actual financing component of rent expense. |
