For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as earnings from continuing operations before income taxes, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of net interest expense on all indebtedness, the amortization of deferred financing costs and interest related to the write-off of deferred financing costs and interest associated with operating leases.
