(1) Adjusted for the impact of our adoption of the FASB guidance on accounting for convertible debt securities.

(2) Approximately 1/3 of rent expense is deemed representative of the interest factor.

(3) Our ratio of earnings to fixed charges was below a one-to-one coverage by $7.4 million due to our net loss generated in fiscal 2007.
