Guarantor Subsidiaries And Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries
12. Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries

The Company's payment obligations under the 6.50% Notes (see Note 4, Long-Term Debt) are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several, senior subordinated basis by substantially all of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries (including VR Acquisition, Inc., BCRP, Inc., Booth Creek Ski Holdings, Inc., Trimont Land Company, Northstar Commercial Properties, and Northstar Group Restaurant Properties LLC (collectively, "Northstar") which were non-guarantor subsidiaries under the 6.75% Senior Subordinated Notes ("6.75% Notes")) (collectively, and excluding Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries (as defined below), the "Guarantor Subsidiaries"), except for, Eagle Park Reservoir Company, Larkspur Restaurant & Bar, LLC, Black Diamond Insurance, Inc. and certain other insignificant entities (together, the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries"). APII and the Employee Housing Entities are included with the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries for purposes of the consolidated financial information, but are not considered subsidiaries under the indenture governing the 6.50% Notes.

Presented below is the consolidated financial information of the Parent Company, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Financial information for the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries is presented in the column titled "Other Subsidiaries." Balance sheets are presented as of January 31, 2012, July 31, 2011, and January 31, 2011. Statements of operations are presented for the three and six months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011. Statements of cash flows are presented for the six months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011. In addition, as noted above, Northstar subsidiaries are Guarantor Subsidiaries under the 6.50% Notes, which under the 6.75% Notes these subsidiaries were Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. As such, reclassifications for Northstar subsidiaries have been made to the financial information as of and for the three and six months ended January 31, 2011 to confirm to the current year presentation. For the three and six months ended January 31, 2011, the Company revised its presentation of reimbursed payroll costs from managed hotel properties from a net presentation to a gross presentation in its Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations (see Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies) to conform to its current presentation. Total revenue and total operating expense in the statements of operations for the three and six months ended January 31, 2011 for the Guarantor Subsidiaries presented below have been revised to reflect this presentation.

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for by the Parent Company and Guarantor Subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting. Net income (loss) of Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries is, therefore, reflected in the Parent Company's and Guarantor Subsidiaries' investments in and advances to (from) subsidiaries. Net income (loss) of the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries is reflected in Guarantor Subsidiaries and Parent Company as equity in consolidated subsidiaries. The elimination entries eliminate investments in Other Subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions for consolidated reporting purposes.
