STATEMENT OF COMPUTATION OF RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

AND RATIO OF COMBINED FIXED CHARGES AND PREFERRED STOCK DIVIDENDS

 

The following table sets forth our ratio of earnings to fixed charges and the ratio of our earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for the year ended December 31, 2010.  Our earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges and combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and for years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, 2012 and 2011. “Earnings” consist of net income (loss) from operations before income taxes and fixed charges. “Fixed charges” consist of interest expense and the portion of operating lease expense that represents interest. The extent to which earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges and combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for those periods is shown below. Amounts shown are in thousands except the ratio.
