No computation of the ratio of earnings to fixed charges is presented as we had
a loss from continuing operations for all periods presented. We needed
additional earnings, as indicated by the coverage deficiency for each of the
periods presented above, to achieve a ratio of earnings to fixed charges of
1.0X.
