Ratio coverage less than 1:1 is not presented. For the periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, additional earnings of $173,346 and $272,428, respectively, would have been required to achieve a ratio of 1:1.

As defined in Item 503 of Regulation S-K, for purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings is the amount resulting from adding and subtracting the following items, which are reflected and shown above where applicable to us:
Add:
consolidated pretax income from continuing operations before adjustment for income or loss from equity investees;
fixed charges, as defined below;
amortization of capitalized interest;
distributed income of equity investees; and
our share of pretax losses of equity investees for which charges arising from guarantees are included in fixed charges.
Subtract:
interest capitalized;
preference security dividend requirements of consolidated subsidiaries; and
the noncontrolling interest in pretax income of subsidiaries that have not incurred fixed charges.
Fixed charges is defined as the sum of:
interest expensed and capitalized (from both continuing and discontinued operations);
amortization of premiums, discounts and capitalized expenses related to indebtedness;
an estimate of the interest component within rental expense; and
preference security dividend requirements of consolidated subsidiaries.
We deemed 1/3 of total rental expense to be a reasonable approximation of the interest portion of rental expense. The ratio does not adjust for interest associated with our unrecognized tax benefits, as they are recorded as a component of income tax expense.
We have not issued preferred stock. Therefore, the ratios of earnings to combined fixed charges and preferred stock dividends are the same as the ratios of earnings to fixed charges.
