(A) We estimated the interest component of rent expense to be 53% based on our long term cost of capital.
(B) Due to losses for the period ended February 20 to September 30, 2010; the nine months ended September 30, 2009; six months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008; and the fiscal years 2009, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the coverage ratio was less than 1:1. We would have needed to generate additional earnings of $128.8; $1,099.0; $107.0 and $110.6; $1,141.2, $222.9, $76.4 and $0.9, respectively, in each of these periods in order to achieve a ratio of 1:1.
