Ratio of earnings to fixed charges(2) | — | — | — | — | — | — |
(1) | Consists of one-third of rental expense, which we believe to be a reasonable estimate of an interest factor in our leases. |
(2) | In the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013, and the six months ended June 30, 2014, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $11.4 million, $17.1 million, $16.2 million, $25.2 million, $33.9 million and $25.5 million, respectively. As of the date of this prospectus, we have no shares of preferred stock outstanding and, consequently, our ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preference dividends and ratio of earnings to fixed charges would be identical. |
