(2) The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed by adding income from continuing operations before income taxes and fixed charges to derive adjusted income, and dividing adjusted income by fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense on debt (including the amortization of debt issuance expense) and one-third (the proportion deemed representative of the interest portion) of rent expense.
(3) Effective January 1, 2009, Omnicare adopted the provisions of the authoritative guidance for accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement). Financial statements for 2008 and prior periods have been restated for this change in accounting.
(4) As discussed elsewhere herein, during the second quarter of 2009, the Company commenced activities to divest certain non-core businesses within its Pharmacy Services segment. The financial results have been revised to reflect such businesses as discontinued operations.
