(b) | Interest expense includes amortization of debt discounts and deferred loan costs. |
(c) | Interest expense on uncertain tax liabilities is excluded from interest expense as the company records these amounts within income tax expense. |
(d) | One-third of net rent expense is the portion of rental expense deemed representative of the interest factor. |
