"Earnings" consist of earnings before income taxes plus fixed charges (exclusive of capitalized interest costs) plus one-third of rental expense (which amount is considered representative of the interest factor in rental expense). Earnings, as defined, were not sufficient to cover fixed charges by approximately $35.0, $63.0, $14.3 and $58.4 million for fiscal years ended January 31, 2009, February 2, 2008; February 3, 2007 and January 28, 2006 respectively.
