Our consolidated financial statements include the operating results of Sartini Gaming, Inc. from and after August 1, 2015, following the consummation of the acquisition thereof.

 

Rental expense amounts relate to the interest factor inherent in our operating leases. The portion of total rental expense that represents the interest factor is estimated to be the effective rate during such time.

 

Our earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014 by $24.8 million.

 

For the periods indicated above, we had no outstanding shares of preferred stock with required dividend payments. Therefore, the ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends are identical to the ratios presented in the tables above.
