(A) The computation of our ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends indicates that earnings were sufficient to cover combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends by approximately $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Earnings were inadequate to cover combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends by approximately $50.6 million, $21.2 million, $5.3 million, $7.9 million and $597,000 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our net loss to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2013 includes the effect of a one-time deemed non-cash dividend of approximately $7.0 million related to a beneficial conversion feature within our Series B Preferred Stock, all of which was converted to Common Stock on May 16, 2013. Combined fixed charges and preferred dividends for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 do not reflect the deemed non-cash dividend.
