(1)
For purposes of computing these ratios, earnings represent income (loss) before income tax expense plus fixed charges. Fixed charges represent interest expensed and capitalized plus one-third (the proportion deemed representative of the interest factor) of rents, net of income from subleases.
(2)
Due to a pre-tax loss from operations of $122,669 for the year ended December 31, 2010, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. We would have needed to generate $122,669 million of additional earnings in the year ended December 31, 2010 for the ratio coverage to equal 1:1.
