(1)
For purposes of computing the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, "earnings" consists of pretax income from continuing operations before adjustment for non-controlling interest and income from equity investee plus fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest) and amortized capitalized interest. "Fixed charges" represents interest incurred (whether expensed or capitalized), amortization of debt costs and that portion of rental expense on operating leases deemed to be the equivalent of interest.
(2)
Dividend requirement of preferred securities issued by our consolidated subsidiary was paid in units and therefore were not considered a fixed charge for purposes of this computation.
(3)
Earnings for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were inadequate to cover fixed charges by approximately $8.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively.
