(1)

For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, (a) earnings consist of income (loss) before income taxes, plus fixed charges less capitalized expenses related to indebtedness (amortization expense for capitalized interest is not significant) and (b) fixed charges consist of interest expense (whether expensed or capitalized), the amortization of debt issuance costs, and the interest portion of rent expense.

(2)

The portion of rent expense representative of interest is based on the present value of the future lease payments discounted at 10%.

(3)

For the period from July 7, 2007 through February 1, 2008, fixed charges exceeded earnings by $6.6 million. For the fiscal year ended February 1, 2008, pro forma fixed charges exceeded earnings by $3.4 million.

(4)

To give effect to the increase in interest expense resulting from the portion of the notes proceeds used to retire the $198.3 million of our 8⁵/8% unsecured notes due June 10, 2010 as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the period presented.
