Additional
Information
General
At the quarter ended June 30, 2011, we had outstanding indebtedness totaling $387.429 billion, consisting of notes payable within one year, senior notes payable after one year and subordinated notes payable after one year, and excluding bank deposits and non-recourse borrowings of consolidated securitization entities. The total amount of outstanding indebtedness at June 30, 2011, excluding subordinated notes and debentures payable after one year, was equal to $375.476 billion.
Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges
The information contained in the Prospectus under the caption "Consolidated Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges" is hereby amended in its entirety, as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | Six Months Ended | ||||
| 2006 | 2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | June 30, 2011 |
| 1.66 | 1.59 | 1.24 | .85 | 1.13 | 1.57 |
For purposes of computing the consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of net earnings adjusted for the provision for income taxes, noncontrolling interests, discontinued operations and undistributed earnings of equity investees.
Fixed charges consist of interest and discount on all indebtedness and one-third of rentals, which we believe is a reasonable approximation of the interest factor of such rentals.
CAPITALIZED TERMS USED HEREIN WHICH ARE DEFINED IN THE PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SHALL HAVE THE MEANINGS ASSIGNED TO THEM IN THE PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT.
