(1) | For the purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of income (loss) from continuing operations before taxes plus fixed charges excluding capitalized interest. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, capitalized interest, amortization of debt issue cost and that portion of rental expense which we believe to be representative of the interest factor. For the year ended December 31, 2008, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $27.1 million.
