(a) | The interest portion of rental expense represents one-third of rents, which is deemed representative of the interest portion of rental expense. | |
(b) | For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, earnings were insufficient to cover fixed charges by $903 million. The deficiency was due primarily to a $575 million pre-tax asset impairment loss resulting from the permanent shutdown of the gasification unit at our Delaware City Refinery and the permanent cancellation of certain capital projects classified as “construction in progress” as a result of the unfavorable impact of the continuing economic slowdown on refining industry fundamentals during the period. The deficiency was also partially attributable to a $120 million loss contingency accrual related to our dispute of a turnover tax on export sales in Aruba. |
