Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges (2)
          2.7       3.6  
 
                 
(1)   The ratios of earnings to fixed charges were computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, “earnings” consist of income before taxes plus fixed charges and amortization of capitalized interest, less capitalized interest. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense, capitalized interest and the portion of rent expense (estimated to be 35%) on operating leases deemed representative of interest.
 
(2)   For the year ended January 2, 2010, the Company’s earnings were not sufficient to cover fixed charges by $791.8. The loss primarily reflected the non-cash goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment charges of $832 and loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $21 recorded in the first quarter of 2009, and legal settlement costs of $41 recorded in 2009.
 
(3)   2007 included results for Paxar Corporation from June 15, 2007 (acquisition date) to December 29, 2007, as well as the incremental interest expense related to the Company’s increased borrowings to fund the acquisition.
