(1) For the purpose of this table, “earnings” consists of income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes, plus fixed charges and amortization of capitalized interest, less interest capitalized. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expensed and capitalized related to indebtedness. For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, and the six months ended June 30, 2012, we had no earnings.

 

(2) In each of the periods presented, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges. The ratio of earnings to fixed charges was less than one-to-one for each of the periods presented. We have not included a ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends because we do not have any preferred stock outstanding as of the date of this prospectus.
