(3) | The ratio of earnings to fixed charges has been computed by adding income before income taxes and fixed charges to derive adjusted income, and dividing adjusted income by fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense on debt (including the amortization of debt expense) and one-third (the proportion deemed representative of the interest portion) of rent expense. Due to the registrant’s loss (including the charges/(credits) above) in the three months ended September 30, 2013, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. The registrant would have needed to generate additional earnings of $90,779 to achieve a coverage of 1:1 in the three months ended September 30, 2013. |
