(a)  Due to our losses in fiscal 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 the coverage ratio was less than 1:1.  The Company must generate additional earnings of $31.3 million, $24.0 million, $15.1 million, $9.9 million and $14.5 million to achieve a coverage of 1:1 in fiscal  2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
