STATEMENT REGARDING COMPUTATION OF RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

        We have calculated the ratio of earnings to fixed charges in the following table by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, earnings include pre-tax income from continuing operations plus fixed charges, before capitalized interest. Fixed charges include interest, whether expensed or capitalized, amortization of debt expense, preferred stock dividend requirement and that portion of rental expense which is representative of the interest factor in those rentals.

(1)

The interest portion of net rental expense is estimated to be equal to one-third of the minimum rental expense for the period.

(2)

The preferred stock divided requirement is computed as the pre-tax earnings that would be required to cover preferred stock dividends.

(3)

For the years ended February 28, 2004, March 4, 2006, March 3, 2007 and March 1, 2008 earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by approximately $2.6 million, $23.1 million, $50.8 million and $340.6 million, respectively.
