(1) Due to the Company’s loss for the one month ended December 31, 2003, and the Predecessor’s loss for the eleven months ended November 30, 2003, and the 2001 Predecessor’s loss for the three months ended March 31, 2001, the ratio coverage in the respective periods was less the 1:1. The Company, Predecessor and the 2001 Predecessor needed to generate additional earnings of $7,317,000, $29,056,000 and $9,169,000 for the one month ended December 31, 2003, the eleven months ended November 30, 2003, and the three months ended March 31, 2001, respectively, to achieve a coverage ratio of 1:1.
