(1)         Represents one-third of total rent expense which we believe is a reasonable estimate of the interest component of rent expense.

(2)         For periods in which there is a deficiency of earnings available to cover combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends, the ratio information is not applicable.

(3)         Dividends accrue on our outstanding Series A preferred stock at the rate of $0.20 per annum per share of Series A preferred stock. We have not paid any dividends on preferred stock.  883,000 shares of our preferred stock were issued and outstanding for all of the periods presented.
