(a) For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings (losses) to fixed charges, earnings (losses) consist of income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes plus fixed charges (excluding interest capitalized). Fixed charges represent interest incurred, amortization of debt expenses, and that portion of rental expenses on operating leases deemed to be the equivalent of interest.

(b) For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009, our earnings were insufficient to cover our fixed charges by $4.95 billion. For the thirty-nine weeks ended October 31, 2009, our earnings were insufficient to cover our fixed charges by $232 million.
