(1) Due to the Company’s net pre-tax loss for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. The Company would have needed additional earnings of $34.4 million and $15.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2009, respectively, to achieve a coverage of 1:1.
(2) The Company had no preferred stock outstanding for any period presented, and accordingly, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends is the same as the ratio of earnings to fixed charges.
