Earnings consists of our consolidated net income before income taxes, plus fixed charges, reduced by the non-controlling interest in the pre-tax income of a consolidated subsidiary that did not incur fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense (including only interest expense on third party indebtedness and excluding interest expense accrued on uncertain tax positions), amortization of debt discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness as well as a portion of rental expense deemed by us to be representative of the interest factor within rental payments under operating leases. Preference security dividends represent the estimated amount of pre-tax earnings necessary to pay dividends on our previously outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Dividends on our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were cumulative. Our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock was canceled on February 4, 2013, in connection with our merger with CTI. No dividends had been declared or paid on our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.
