Date: June 2, 2008	American Skiing Company
	By:	/s/ Foster A. Stewart, Jr.
		Name:	Foster A. Stewart, Jr.
		Title:	Senior Vice President and General Counsel

On August 7, 2007, the Company completed the sale of Sunday River Skiway Corporation (SRSC), Sunday River, Ltd., Blunder Bay Development Co., and Sugarloaf Mountain Corporation (SMC) to Boyne USA, Inc. (the “Sunday River/Sugarloaf Sale”). Total proceeds received by the Company were $75.9 million, after payment of certain closing costs, and after certain customary adjustments, including reimbursement of the Company for certain pre-closing capital expenditures of SRSC and SMC, as set forth in the purchase agreement. Of this amount, $2~~.0 million is to be held in an indemnity escrow~~ ~~account for one year following the closing date. The Company expects to use the proceeds from the sale in accordance with its Plan of Dissolution, which was approved on June 20, 2007.~~

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

(b) Pro forma Financial Information

The following unaudited pro forma financial data (the “Pro Forma Financial Data”) is derived from the historical financial statements of the Company. The Pro Forma Financial Data and the accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on October 30, 2006, and the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q as filed with the SEC on December 8, 2006, March 14, 2007 and June 13, 2007.

The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet as of April 29, 2007 gives effect to the Sunday River/Sugarloaf sale and to the Killington/Pico sale, which occurred previously on May 11, 2007, as if the transactions had occurred on April 29, 2007. Actual account balances as of the closing dates will differ from those at April 29, 2007, and accordingly, the actual amounts and application of the net sales proceeds will differ from those presented herein.

The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of operations for the thirty-nine weeks ended April 29, 2007, the thirty-nine weeks ended April 30, 2006, and the year ended July 30, 2006, give effect to the Sunday River/Sugarloaf sale and the Killington/Pico sale as if such transactions had occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year presented. Tax effects of pro forma adjustments were calculated at the statutory rate in effect during the periods for which pro forma condensed income statements are presented. However, tax effects of all pro forma adjustments resulted in offsetting adjustments in the valuation allowances that the Company has recorded against all existing net deferred income tax assets.

The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma statements of operations disclose income (loss) from continuing operations before nonrecurring charges or credits directly attributable to the Sunday River/Sugarloaf sale and the Killington/Pico sale. Material nonrecurring charges or credits and related tax effects which result directly from these transactions and which will be included in the income of the Company within the 12 months succeeding the transactions are disclosed separately in the accompanying notes.

The Company expects that the tax effects of the net gain generated from the Sunday River/Sugarloaf sale and the Killington/Pico sale will be offset by its net operating loss carry-forwards for regular income tax purposes. As a result, the Company anticipates being subject only to the alternative minimum tax and related state tax liabilities and has recorded an estimate of taxes payable based on the alternative minimum tax associated with these transactions.

The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial data is not intended to be indicative of either future results of operations or results that might have been achieved had the transactions actually occurred on the dates specified. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly this unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial data have been made based upon the terms and structure of the Sunday River/Sugarloaf sale and the Killington/Pico sale.

The unaudited condensed consolidated pro forma financial data does not include provision for any of the actions contemplated by the Company’s Plan of Dissolution, which was adopted and approved on June 20, 2007. Such actions will include payment or making reasonable provision for payment of its liabilities and obligations, including setting aside a contingency reserve, consisting of cash or other assets that the Company believes to be adequate for payment of its known liabilities, as well as claims that are unknown or have not yet arisen but that, based on facts known to the Company, are likely to arise or become known to the Company within ten years after the date of its dissolution, and distribution of all remaining properties, assets and funds to its stockholders or to liquidating trusts. The amounts of such payments and provisions cannot be reasonably estimated at the current time.

American Skiing Company and Subsidiaries Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Pro Forma Financial Statement Data

General

On February 16, 2007, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a purchase agreement to sell the assets of Killington/Pico. The Company completed the transaction on May 11, 2007, and used the net proceeds from the sale to repay substantially all of its remaining indebtedness outstanding, other than the Series C-1 and Series C-2 Preferred Stock. The results from operations of Killington for the periods ended April 29, 2007 and April 30, 2006, and for the year ended July 30, 2006, have been included as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and therefore are not included in the results from continuing operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated pro forma statements of operations. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments are presented in the pro forma statements of operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet as of April 29, 2007, assumes that the sale was completed as of that date. Actual account balances as of the actual closing date differed from those at April 29, 2007, and accordingly, the actual amounts and application of the net sales proceeds differed from those presented herein.

On June 4, 2007, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a purchase agreement to sell Sunday River/Sugarloaf. The transaction was completed on August 7, 2007 and the Company expects to use the net proceeds from the sale in accordance with its Plan of Dissolution. The accompanying condensed consolidated pro forma statements of operations remove the results from operations of Sunday River and Sugarloaf as if the transaction had occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year presented. The accompanying condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet as of April 29, 2007 assumes that the sale was completed as of that date. Actual account balances as of the actual closing date will differ from those at April 29, 2007, and accordingly, the actual amounts and application of the net sales proceeds will differ from those presented herein.

All material nonrecurring charges and credits directly attributable to the Killington/Pico sale and the Sunday River/Sugarloaf sale are included in the accompanying condensed consolidated pro forma balance sheet. These nonrecurring charges and credits, and the related tax effects have been excluded from the accompanying condensed consolidated pro forma statements of operations. These include the following pro forma adjustments as referenced in the notes following:

(d) Gain related to early repayment of the Company’s New Junior Subordinated Notes; (e) Gain and related tax impact from the Killington/Pico sale; and (h) Gain and related tax impact from the Sunday River/Sugarloaf sale.

Tax effects of pro forma adjustments were calculated at the statutory rate in effect during the periods for which condensed consolidated pro forma income statements are presented. However, tax effects of all pro forma adjustments resulted in offsetting adjustments in the valuation allowances that the Company has recorded against all existing net deferred income tax assets.

The Company expects that the tax effects of the net gain that it will generate from the Killington/Pico sale and the Sunday River/Sugarloaf sale will be offset by its net operating loss carry-forwards for regular income tax purposes. As a result, the Company anticipates being subject only to the alternative minimum tax and state tax liabilities and has recorded an estimate of taxes payable based on the alternative minimum tax associated with these transactions.

Adjustments related to the Killington/Pico sale

(a) The Company completed the Killington/Pico sale on May 11, 2007. The purchase price was $83.5 million, including assumption of approximately $5.0 million of debt and other liabilities ($5.0 million on a pro forma basis as of April 29, 2007), and was subject to certain working capital adjustments ($2.3 million on a pro forma basis as of April 29, 2007). The net sales price ($85.8 million on a pro forma basis) was paid in cash. Of this amount, $3.0 million is to be held in an escrow account until June 30, 2008. In addition, the Company paid approximately $1.5 million in closing costs at the time of closing, resulting in net cash proceeds on a pro forma basis of $81.3 million.

(b) All results of operations and historical balance sheet account balances related to the operations and the assets and liabilities sold have been removed from the pro forma financial statements. Certain amounts classified as assets held for sale or as liabilities related to assets held for sale as of April 29, 2007, and retained by the Company subsequent to the closing, have been reclassified to their original balance sheet classifications.

(c) In connection with the closing, the Company paid the remaining balances of certain debt obligations of Killington/Pico. These totaled $6.3 million as of April 29, 2007, including subordinated notes and debentures of $6.2 million and accrued interest of $0.1 million.

(d) The Company fully repaid the remaining balance of principal and interest due on its New Junior Subordinated Notes ($79.7 million on a pro forma basis as of April 29, 2007). Because of differences in the methods of accrual and payment of interest on these notes, the Company realized a gain upon their final repayment, which, on a pro forma basis as of April 29, 2007, would have been approximately $1.5 million.

(e) On a pro forma basis as of April 29, 2007, the Killington/Pico sale would have resulted in a gain of $2.0 million for financial reporting purposes and $24.5 million for income tax purposes, which, based on pro forma calculations of alternative minimum tax, would result in taxes payable of $0.3 million.

Adjustments related to the Sunday River/Sugarloaf sale

(f) The Company completed the Sunday River/Sugarloaf sale on August 7, 2007. The purchase price was $75.9 million in cash, plus the assumption of approximately $2.0 million of debt and other liabilities ($2.0 million on a pro forma basis as of April 29, 2007). Of this amount, $2.0 million is to be held in an indemnity escrow account for one year following the closing date. The purchase price was subject to certain customary adjustments, including reimbursement of the Company for certain pre-closing capital expenditures of SRSC and SMC, as set forth in the purchase agreement ($0.5 million on a pro forma basis as of April 29, 2007). In addition, the Company expects to pay approximately $1.9 million in closing costs in connection with the closing, resulting in net cash proceeds on a pro forma basis of $72.5 million.

(g) All results of operations and historical balance sheet account balances related to the operations and the assets and liabilities sold have been removed from the pro forma financial statements.

(h) On a pro forma basis as of April 29, 2007, the Sunday River/Sugarloaf sale would have resulted in a gain of $25.0 million for financial reporting purposes and $39.8 million for income tax purposes, which, based on pro forma calculations of alternative minimum tax, would result in taxes payable of $0.6 million.
