For purposes of this calculation, “Earnings” is Income (loss) before income taxes plus Fixed Charges and Amortization of capitalized interest less Noncontrolling interest and Capitalized interest. “Fixed Charges” is Interest expense plus Capitalized interest and Estimation of the interest within rental expense.  Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $49.1 million and $31.7 million, for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
