(a)  Due to our losses in fiscal 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 the coverage ratio was less than 1:1.  The Company must generate additional earnings of $19.7 million, $26.7 million, $25.8 million, $19.3 million, $9.9 million, and $7.6 million to achieve a coverage of 1:1 in fiscal 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and the six months ended June 30, 2010, repectively.
