(1) For the years ended June 30, 2000, 2001, 2002, and 2003, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $5,633, $13,637, $4,424, and $82,632, respectively. Accordingly, such rations have not been presented.
(2) The interest factor represents one-third of lease expense, which management believes is representative of the interest component of lease expense.
