| (1) | For purposes of calculating the ratios of consolidated earnings to fixed charges and to fixed charges and preference dividends: |
| |
| • | “earnings” consist of (loss) income before income taxes and equity income from investees, plus fixed charges and distributed income of equity investees; |
| |
| • | “fixed charges” represent interest expensed and capitalized, and amortization of deferred financing costs and accretion of debt discount; and |
| |
| • | “preference dividends” refers to the amount of pre-tax earnings that is required to pay the cash dividends on outstanding preference securities and is computed as the amount of (a) the dividend divided by (b) the result of 1 minus the effective income tax rate applicable to continuing operations. |
The ratios of earnings to fixed charges and to fixed charges and preference dividends are ratios that have been calculated in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. These ratios have no application to our credit and lease facilities and preferred shares and we believe they are not ratios typically used by investors to evaluate our overall operating performance.
| |
| (2) | The ratio of earnings to fixed charges and to fixed charges and preference dividends for this period was less than 1.0x. |
| |
| (3) | Interest inherent in rent expense is an amount representative of the interest factor in rentals (for this purpose, the interest factor is assumed to be one-third of rental expense) |
