Notes

 

  (1) For the purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income or loss before income taxes and fixed charges. Fixed charges include gross interest expense, amortization of deferred financing expenses and an amount equivalent to interest included in rental charges. One-third of rental expense represents a reasonable approximation of the interest amount.
  (2) There are no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
