Due to our loss in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. Additional earnings of $3.9 million would have been required to achieve a ratio of 1:1. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2012, we incurred charges of approximately $11.1 million related to the repayment of our term loan that are not included in amortized premiums and expenses above. This amount included a prepayment premium of $4.8 million, write-off of the unamortized original issue discount of $5.4 million and deferred financing costs of $0.9 million.
