(2) For purposes of determining the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings are defined as income (loss) before income taxes plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, including capitalized interest, on all indebtedness, amortization of deferred financing costs and one-third of rental expense on operating leases, representing that portion of rental expense that we deemed to be attributable to interest. Our earnings were insufficient to cover our fixed charges for the year ended December 31, 2001 by $8,172, December 31, 2004 by $13,493 and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 by $9,535.
