Statement Re: Computation of Earnings to Fixed Charges

The following table sets forth information regarding our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the periods shown. In calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are calculated as (a) income (loss) before income taxes, excluding income (loss) from joint ventures, plus (b) fixed charges, plus (c) capitalized interest included in cost of sales and equity in income (loss) from unconsolidated joint ventures, plus (d) distributed income of equity investees, minus (e) interest capitalized. Fixed charges are comprised of (a) interest incurred and (b) the portion of rental expense deemed to be representative of an interest factor. For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges for each such year by $40.2 million and $9.6 million, respectively.
