| Note:  | Ratio of earnings to fixed charges is defined pre-tax income from continuing operations plus fixed charges divided by fixed charges.  Fixed charges include interest (including amortization of debt issuance costs) and a portion of rental expense assumed to represent interest.  Earnings for the year ended September 30, 2001 were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $3.8 million.  Earnings for the six months ended September 30, 2004 were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $6.1 million. |
