The ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. For this purpose, “earnings” include income before income taxes and fixed charges. “Fixed charges” include interest, whether expensed or capitalized. Earnings for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 were insufficient to cover fixed charges.
