(1) Fixed charges. The term “fixed charges” means the sum of the following: (a) interest expensed and capitalized, (b) amortized premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness, (c) an estimate of the interest within rental expense, and (d) preference security dividend requirements of consolidated subsidiaries.

(2) Our net losses were insufficient to cover fixed charges in the years 2015 and 2017. Because of these deficiencies, the ratio information is not applicable.
