Haha. I'm finding this thread very amusing. So many posts here missing the obvious.
NIK320 is the only one that spotted it. You're supposed to work out your own minima if your ac can't meet the climb gradient required on one engine from the charts provided by the manufacturer.
Here is a practical example. We regularly fly into an airport that has an elevation of almost 5,500ft and from the ATIS we get the temp at the field. If the temp is above a set value we increase our minima so we can assure the a/c meets the climb gradient required to clear the surrounding terrain if we go OEI while on the approach.
