(a) | Earnings for the period January 1, 2009 through July 9, 2009 include Reorganization gains, net of $128.2 billion. |
Earnings for the period July 10, 2009 through December 31, 2009 and the years ended December 31, 2008, and 2007 were inadequate to cover fixed charges. Additional earnings of $5.0 billion, $23.0 billion and $4.4 billion for the period July 10, 2009 through December 31, 2009 and the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 would have been necessary to bring ratios for these periods to 1.0.
