(a) The Company considers one-third of rent expense to be a reasonable estimate of the related interest expense.
(b) Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 by $56.2 million due to increased interest and amortization expenses, financing fees and other non-recurring expenses related to the acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company by an investor group led by our private equity sponsors, which was completed on April 30, 2010.
