For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred dividends, earnings consists of income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes including the effect of allowance for funds used during construction, referred to as AFUDC, plus fixed charges. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, amortization of debt issuance costs, dividends on mandatory redeemable preferred shares and a portion of rent expense that management believes is representative of the interest component of rental expense. Fixed charges have not been reduced for the effect of AFUDC. In addition, we had no preferred stock outstanding for any period presented, and accordingly, the ratio of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends is the same as the ratio of earnings to fixed charges.
| (1) | Represents the amount of pre-tax earnings required to cover the dividends associated with preferred stock without mandatory redemption requirements. |
| (2) | For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges and there was a deficiency of $224.3 million, $109.1 million, $255.7 million, $450.8 million and $111.8 million, respectively. |
