(a) Due to the pretax income from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. We would have needed to generate additional earnings of approximately $1.2 million to achieve a coverage of 1:1 for the three months ended  June 30, 2011.
 
                                 
(b) Due to the pretax loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1.  We would have needed to generate additional earnings of approximately $0.1 million and $2.1 million to achieve a coverage of 1:1 for the six  months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
 
The pretax loss from continuing operations before adjustment for noncontrolling interest for the six months ended June 30, 2010 includes impairment charges of equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $2.7 million as discussed in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements in the Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2011.
 
   
(c) Due to the pretax loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. We would have needed to generate additional earnings of approximately $1.7 million and $2.1 million to achieve a coverage of 1:1 for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
