For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as earnings (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of net interest expense (inclusive of write-off of deferred financing costs, interest expense related to make whole premium charge, less gain from termination of interest rate swap agreement) on all indebtedness and the amortization of deferred financing costs and interest associated with operating leases. Earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges by $4.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2004.
