  In a previous paper it has been shown that the interference of the first and
second order pole of the Green's function at an exceptional point, as well as
the interference of the first order poles in the vicinity of the exceptional
point, gives rise to asymmetric scattering cross section profiles. In the
present paper we demonstrate that these line profiles are indeed well described
by the Beutler-Fano formula, and thus are genuine Fano resonances. Also further
away from the exceptional points excellent agreement can be found by
introducing energy dependent Fano parameters.
