(1) For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings represent income before income taxes plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense and one-third of operating rental expenses which management believes is representative of the interest component of rent expense.
* Due to the loss for 2006 the coverage ratio was less than 1:1. Innophos must generate additional earnings of $3,497 for 2006 to achieve a ratio of 1:1 for 2006.
