(a) Due to the loss from continuing operations, as restated for discontinued operations, for year ended December 31, 2014, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. We would have needed to generate additional earnings from continuing operations of $9.7 million to achieve a coverage of 1:1 for 2014.
(b) Due to the reduced income from continuing operations, as restated for discontinued operations, for year ended December 31, 2012, the ratio coverage was less than 1:1. We would have needed to generate additional earnings from continuing operations of $0.5 million to achieve a coverage of 1:1 for 2012.
