(1) Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes does not include dividends on preferred securities subject to mandatory redemption, gain (loss) on discontinued operations, cumulative effect of accounting change (net), non-controlling interests and income or loss from equity investees.

 

     Fixed charges consist of interest cost, including interest on deposits, interest on discontinued operations, dividends on preferred securities subject to mandatory redemption, and that portion of rent expense to be representative of the interest factor. Fixed charges do not include interest expense on uncertain tax liabilities as the Company records these amounts within the Provision for income taxes.

 

     The preferred stock dividend amounts represent pre-tax earnings required to cover dividends on preferred stock.

 

* The earnings for the one month ended December 31, 2008 were inadequate to cover total fixed charges and total fixed charges and preferred stock dividends.

 

     The coverage deficiencies for total fixed charges for the one month ended December 31, 2008 were $2,028.
     The coverage deficiencies for total fixed charges and preferred stock dividends for the one month ended December 31, 2008 were $2,523.
