(1) All outstanding shares of the Company's convertible perpetual preferred stock were converted for common stock or cash in the third and fourth quarters of fiscal year 2017. Dividend payments on the preferred stock ceased upon conversion.

(2) For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company reported a loss for the purposes of the above ratio calculations. As a result, earnings were not sufficient to cover fixed charges or preference dividends. The deficiency in earnings to fully cover fixed charges (i.e., a ratio of 1.00) was $11,693, and the deficiency to fully cover fixed charges and preference dividends was $17,365.
