(1) | Fixed charges represent amounts relating to continuing operations. Interest expense included in the computation of fixed charges includes the amortization of debt discounts and amortization of capitalized expenses related to indebtedness. Interest related to unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in income tax expense. The interest component of rent expense is based on an appropriate interest factor on operating leases. |
