Ratio of earnings to fixed charges (1)                        

  

  
(1)For purposes of computing this ratio of earnings to fixed charges, fixed charges consist of interest expense and premiums, discounts and capital expenses related to debt (loss) before income taxes plus fixed charges. Earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by approximately $17.7 million, $12.2 million, $7.2 million, $13.1 million and $9.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011and $2.3 million for the first three months of 2012. 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.
