(A) Total earnings (loss), as adjusted, was inadequate to cover fixed charges for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Additional earnings of approximately $11.3 million and $54.7 million, respectively, would have been necessary to eliminate the respective deficits and bring the ratio of earnings to fixed charges to 1.0.

For the years indicated above, WCI Communities, Inc. had no outstanding shares of preferred stock with required dividend payments. Therefore, the ratios of earnings to fixed charges and preferred stock dividends were identical to the ratios presented in the above table.
