The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is completed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. "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 million, $63.0 million, and $14.3 million for fiscal 2008, 2007, and 2006, respectively.
