(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. Due to the registrants loss (including special items) in the three months ended September 30, 2010, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. The registrant would have needed to generate additional earnings of $23,736 to achieve coverage of 1:1 in the three months ended September 30, 2010.
