For purposes of calculating the above ratios, earnings were computed by adding fixed charges (excluding capitalized interest), gain on sales of real estate (excluding discontinued operations) amortization of capitalized interest and distributed income (loss) of equity investees to income (loss) from continuing operations before noncontrolling interests, equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated entities and income taxes. Fixed charges consist of interest costs and capitalized amortization of debt issuance costs.
