Our earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges for 2008, 2009 and 2010. The amounts by which earnings were inadequate to cover fixed charges were approximately $44.2 million in 2008, $97.5 million in 2009 and $99.3 million in 2010. Earnings were sufficient to cover fixed charges in 2011 and 2012.

Fixed charges consist of interest and that portion of rent deemed representative of interest.
