(a) Due to the pretax loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. We would have needed to generate additional earnings of $125.5 million to achieve a coverage of 1:1.

The pretax loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, includes consolidated impairment charges of $84.9 million and losses on equity derivative instruments of $40.2 million, which together aggregate $125.1 million.

 

(b) Due to the pretax loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2011, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. We would have needed to generate additional earnings of $10.2 million to achieve a coverage of 1:1.

The pretax loss from continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2011, includes consolidated impairment charges of $63.2 million and impairment charges of joint venture investments of $2.9 million, which together aggregate $66.1 million.

 

(c) Due to the pretax loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. We would have needed to generate additional earnings of $214.6 million to achieve a coverage of 1:1.

The pretax loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015, includes consolidated impairment charges of $279.0 million, that are discussed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2015.
