Note: Had we been a stand-alone company for the full year 2014, and had the same level of debt throughout the year as we did on December 31, 2014, of approximately $6.4 billion, we would have incurred $314 million of pre-tax interest expense, on a pro-forma basis, for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the $72 million pre-tax interest expense reported on our statement of operations for the year then ended. Therefore, the insufficient coverage on a pro-forma basis would have been approximately $2,437 million.
(a)
The 2014 amount includes non-cash charges consisting of $3.4 billion of asset impairments, $52 million of rig termination and other price-related costs, and $55 million of Spin-off and transition related costs. Excluding these items, our income before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2014 would have been approximately $1.1 billion, and the ratio of earnings to fixed charges would have been 14.
 
(b)
Takes into consideration interest on the debt associated with the Spin-off which we entered into during the last half of 2014.
