     Our ratio of earnings to fixed charges is computed by dividing earnings by fixed charges. Our ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends is computed by dividing earnings by combined fixed charges and preferred dividends. For these purposes, “earnings” is the amount resulting from adding together income (loss) from continuing operations, fixed charges, and amortization of capitalized interest and subtracting interest capitalized. “Fixed charges” is the amount resulting from adding together interest expensed and capitalized; amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness; and the interest portion of rent. “Combined fixed charges and preferred dividends” is the amount resulting from adding together fixed changes and preferred dividends paid and accrued for each respective period.
