Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

~~March~~June 3130, 2011

(Unaudited)

1. General

Basis of presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures which are normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position and the results of operations for the interim periods. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 and the notes thereto, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under cover of Form 10-K.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated amounts of Universal City Development Partners, Ltd. ( “UCDP”); Universal City Travel Partners d/b/a Universal Parks & Resorts Vacations (“UPRV”); UCDP Finance, Inc. ("“UCDP Finance"”); Universal Orlando Online Merchandise Store ("“UOOMS"”); and Universal City Restaurant Partners, Ltd. (“UCRP”) (collectively, the “Company”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Prior to July 1, 2011, UCDP’s ultimate owners were Universal City Property Management II LLC (“Universal CPM”) and Blackstone Capital Partners (“Blackstone”, together with Universal CPM, the “Partners”). Through Universal City Florida Holding Co. I (“Holding I”) and Universal City Florida Holding Co. II (“Holding II”, collectively with Holding I, “Holdings”), ~~UCDP’s ultimate owners (~~the “Partners~~”),~~ each ~~having~~held a 50% ~~interest~~ interests in UCDP,. ~~are~~ Universal ~~City Property Management II LLC (“Universal~~ CPM~~”),~~ is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Universal City Studios Productions LLLP (“UCSP”, formerly known as “Vivendi Universal Entertainment” or “VUE”), which in turn is a subsidiary of NBCUniversal Media, LLC (“NBCUniversal”),. ~~and~~NBCUniversal ~~Blackstone~~is ~~Capital~~a ~~Partners~~wholly-owned subsidiary of NBCUniveral, LLC (“~~Blackstone~~NBCUniversal Holdings”). Through NBCUniversal Holdings, General Electric Company (“GE”) owns 49% of NBCUniversal, while Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) owns the remaining 51%. Within these condensed consolidated financial statements, “NBCU” refers to NBCUniversal and its affiliates. Both Partners share in profits and losses, contributions and distributions of UCDP in accordance with their ownership percentages. See Note 9 for a discussion of changes to the Company’s ownership structure resulting from subsequent events.

Period end

The three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and June 27, 2010 each contained 9091 days. ~~while~~The ~~the~~six ~~three~~months ended June 30, 2011 contained 181 days, while the six months ended ~~March~~June 2827, 2010 contained 87178 days. Effective the first quarter of 2011, the Company’s fiscal calendar was changed from a 13-week format to a traditional calendar with quarter ending dates of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. Although this will not impact the total number of days in the Company’s fiscal year, it may alter the number of days within a given quarter.

Seasonality and other factors impacting comparability

Based on the seasonality of attendance, the results for the three months and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and ~~March~~June 2827, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Additionally, on June 18, 2010, the Company opened The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM, a sixth themed island within Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Accordingly, comparisons of the operating results and cash flows for the three months and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and June 27, 2010 were impacted by this event.

Inventories

The major components of inventories are as follows (in thousands):

	March 31,2011			December 31,2010
	June 30,2011			December 31,2010
Merchandise	$	2428,~~585~~987		$	19,279

Operating supplies and maintenance parts		3334,~~897~~068			33,438
Less: reserves		(3,~~289~~099	)		(3,009	)
Total	$	5964,~~947~~433		$	55,009

Intangible assets

Intangible assets primarily consist of the rights to use certain characters and trademarks. Intangible assets are recorded at net present value and amortized on a straight-line basis over periods ranging from 9 to 20 years, which have a weighted-average amortizable life of 13 years. Intangible assets totaled $4847,~~787~~336,000 and $50,330,000, respectively, as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and December 31, 2010. This included $1618,~~678~~129,000 ~~and~~ and $15,135,000 in accumulated amortization, respectively, as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Amortization expense amounted to $1,~~543~~451,000 and $~~347~~705,000, respectively, during the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and June 27, ~~March~~2010, while amortization expense amounted to $2,994,000 and $1,052,000 during the six months ended June 2830, 2011 and June 27, 2010, respectively. Amortization of existing intangible assets will be approximately $5,896,000 for 2011 and $5,804,000 for each of the four years thereafter.

Change in estimate

Due to the construction and renovation of new rides, attractions and other assets, portions of existing assets will be disposed of prior to their original estimated useful lives. As a result, depreciation of existing assets will be accelerated to reflect their remaining useful lives. For the three months ended ~~March~~ June 3130, 2011 and ~~March~~June 2827, 2010, the Company incurred additional depreciation expenses of $~~665~~1,994,000 and $1592,~~034,~~000, respectively, relating to accelerating the life of various assets. Similarly, during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 27, 2010, respectively, the Company incurred additional depreciation expenses of $2,659,000 and $1,626,000.

Financial instruments

The carrying amounts reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The estimated fair values of other financial instruments subject to fair value disclosures, determined based on quotes from major financial institutions, and the related carrying amounts are as follows (in thousands):

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 27, 2010, the Company’s Comprehensive Income (Loss) and Comprehensive Income (Loss) Attributable To The Partners were equal to Net Income (Loss) and Net Income (Loss) Attributable To The Partners, respectively, as the Company did not have any transactions resulting in Total Other Comprehensive Income.

2. Long-term borrowings

Indebtedness consisted of the following (in thousands, except percentages):

	Interest Rate			Maturity Date		June 30,2011		~~March 31,2011~~		December 31,2010		~~December 31,2010~~

Total debt						$	1,407,354	$	~~1,406,255~~	$	1,495,168	$	~~1,495,168~~

(1) Subsequent to the April 30, 2010 amendment, the interest rate on the term loans of the ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit facilities is either a base rate (calculated as the highest of the prime rate in effect on such day, the sum of 1/2 of 1.00% plus the federal funds rate, and LIBOR plus 1.00%, provided that the base rate will never be less than 2.75%) or LIBOR (provided that LIBOR will never be less than 1.75%), in each case plus a specified margin. The specified margin is 2.75% in the case of base rate loans and 3.75% in the case of LIBOR loans. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2011, this equated to an interest rate of 5.50% in the case of the LIBOR loans.

The term loans under the ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit facilities are subject to mandatory prepayments of 100% of the net cash ~~proceeds~~ proceeds from certain asset sales and from the sale or issuance of indebtedness, in each case subject to certain exceptions including the notes, and of 50% of the Company’s excess cash flow (as defined in the ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit agreement) for each fiscal year on or after December 31, 2010. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011, the Company made a $90,000,000 principal payment on the ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit facilities, which was equal to 50% of the excess cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2010. As permitted under the ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit agreement, the Company elected to have this payment satisfy the quarterly principal installment requirement, which was equal to 0.25% of the original gross principal balance, for all future quarters. See Note 9 for a discussion of changes to the Company’s indebtedness resulting from subsequent events.

3. Fair value measurements

The Company follows accounting guidance that defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. This guidance specifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received in the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:



Level 1.		Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2.		Inputs, other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3.		Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company did not have assets or liabilities valued using inputs that fall within Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 of the three-tier hierarchy.

5. Capital leases and financing obligations

Intangible assets and equipment, fixtures and furniture included approximately $4241,~~976~~453,000 and $44,591,000, related to financing obligations and capital leases as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. This included $67,~~019~~542,000 and $4,404,000 in accumulated depreciation and amortization as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2011, future minimum payments due under financing obligations and capital leases totaled approximately $3328,~~006~~500,000 (net of $109,~~031~~430,000 in interest). Future minimum payments include $5251,~~262,~~000, $5,~~382~~479,000, $4,~~855~~943,000, $4,~~025~~099,000 and $13,~~482~~728,000, due in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, and years subsequent to 2014, respectively.

6. Related party transactions

Universal City Studios Productions’ special fee

Under the terms of UCDP’s partnership agreement, a special fee is payable to UCSP through Universal CPM equal to 5.25% of certain revenue, as defined, generated by Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure. During the three months ended ~~March~~ June 3130, 2011 and ~~March~~June 2827, 2010, the Company paid fees to UCSP of $1514,~~969~~047,000 and $87,~~903~~237,000, respectively, while during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 27, 2010, the Company paid fees of $30,016,000 and $16,140,000, respectively. In addition, at ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, the amount ~~due~~payable to related parties included $1417,~~047~~871,000 and $15,969,000 related to the current portion of special fees payable to UCSP.

Under the Company’s ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit facilities and the indentures governing the 2015 notes and the 2016 notes, the special fee related to both Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure can only be paid upon achievement of certain but different ratios. As applicable, these ratios were met as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2011, and thus payments of $1417,~~047~~871,000 in special fees will be made during the ~~second~~third quarter of 2011.

Other partner matters

On October 22, 2009, the Company’s Partners entered into an amendment to the second amended and restated partners’ agreement (the “Partners’ Agreement”). Pursuant to a right of first ~~refusal~~offer provision in the Partners’ Agreement, as so amended, if either Blackstone or certain affiliates of Universal City Studios Productions (the “NBCU Parties”) desires to sell its ownership interest in Holding I and Holding II, it shall make a binding offer, specifying the proposed sale price, to sell to the other its entire interest in each of Holding I and Holding II. The non-offering Partner will then have 90 days after receipt of an offer to accept the offer to sell (the “Initial Offer Period”). If the offer is not accepted, the offering party has the right to market both parties’ interests in Holdings to third parties, and both parties are required to sell their interests if a third party offers a price that is at least 90% of the price for both parties’ interests that is imputed from the offer made by the first party to the second party (i.e., as long as the NBCU Parties and Blackstone each own 50% of Holdings, then both parties are required to sell to a third party that offers at least 180% of the price quoted by either party to the other party) (such third-party sale option, the “Drag-Along Option”). If the interests in Holdings are not sold to a third party pursuant to the Drag-Along Option by the earlier of the date that is 270 days from the end of the Initial Offer Period and the date on which both the offering party and the other party agree in writing to abandon the third -party sale, then the offering party shall be prohibited from making another offer to the other party for a period of one year from the expiration date of the Initial Offer Period, and during such year, the other party may agree to sell its ownership interest without being subject to the offer provisions in the Partners’ Agreement (such sale right, the “Unrestricted Resale”). UCDP was informed on March 9, 2011 that Blackstone triggered the right of first refusal and offered to sell its interest in UCDP to the NBCU Parties. Additionally, UCDP ~~has~~was ~~been~~ informed that the Partners ~~have~~had agreed that the NBCU Parties ~~have~~had until June 7, 2011 to accept Blackstone’s offer or be subject to the drag-along provisions in the Partners’ Agreement. On June 6, 2011, NBCUniversal announced that it had accepted Blackstone’s offer and on July 1, 2011, NBCUniversal announced that it completed such acquisition. See Note 9 for a discussion of changes to the Company’s ownership resulting from subsequent events.

Distributions

During the ~~three~~ six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011, the Company made ~~a distribution~~distributions to the Partners ~~in the amount~~ of $31,582,000, which represented the Partners’ expected payments of income taxes based on the Company’s financial results. This distribution was required under the Company’s partnership agreement. Additionally, during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31~~June 30, 2011, the Company made a distribution to the Partners in the amount of $44,758,000 as allowed by the excess cash flow provisions of the ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit facilities. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company made a distribution to Holdings in the amount of $504,000.

Advisory services agreements

UCDP had an Advisory Services Agreement (“Services Agreement”) in which the Partners provided UCDP with advisory and consulting services in connection with the ongoing strategic and operational oversight of UCDP’s affairs in such areas as financing structures, public and private offerings of debt and equity securities and property dispositions and acquisitions. In connection with the Services Agreement, UCDP paid each Partner $1,250,000 annually. On July 1, 2011, this agreement was amended to terminate all of Blackstone’s rights and obligations under such agreement. Accordingly, the Company recorded a charge of $625,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 related to the unamortized portion of Blackstone’s 2011 fee.

7. Commitments and contingencies

Litigation

The Company is threatened with or involved in various legal actions and claims incidental to the conduct of its business. Management does not expect these legal actions and claims to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Consultant agreement

UCDP has an agreement (the “Consultant Agreement”) with Stephen Spielberg (the “Consultant”) under which UCDP pays a fee for consulting services and exclusivity equal to a percentage of certain gross revenues from the attractions and certain other facilities owned or operated, in whole or in part, by UCDP. The accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations ~~and comprehensive income~~ include consulting fee expense under the Consultant Agreement of $68,~~746~~551,000 and $35,~~480~~264,000, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and June 27, 2010, respectively. Similarly, consulting fees under the Consultant Agreement during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and ~~March~~June 2827, 2010 amounted to $15,297,000 and $8,744,000, respectively.

Under the terms of the Consultant Agreement, the Consultant (as defined herein) is also entitled to a fee based on a percentage of gross revenues of comparable projects, which are gated motion picture and/or television themed attractions owned or operated, in whole or in part, by UCDP, or any of UCDP’s partners or any of their affiliates, other than in Universal City, California. As of ~~March~~June 3130, 2011, the only operating theme parks that are deemed to be comparable projects under the Consultant Agreement are Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, Japan and Universal Studios Singapore on Sentosa Island, Singapore. The Consultant may also be entitled to participate in certain sales of equity by the Company’s partners and to participate in certain real estate development activities of the Company’s partners or their affiliates. Universal Studios Company LLC (“USC”), an indirect wholly- owned subsidiary of NBCUniversal and the indirect parent of UCSP, has guaranteed UCDP’s obligations under the Consultant Agreement for the benefit of the Consultant, and UCSP has assumed USC’s obligations under that guarantee and has agreed to indemnify UCDP for any liability under the Consultant Agreement related to any comparable project that is not owned or controlled by UCDP. Accordingly, fees with respect to Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Singapore are paid by an affiliate of UCSP and are not paid by UCDP. However, if such comparable project fees were not paid by that party, UCDP would be required to make the payments and seek indemnification from UCSP.

On October 18, 2009, the Company executed an amendment to the Consultant Agreement (the “2009 Amendment”). Prior to the 2009 Amendment, starting in June 2010, the Consultant had the right, upon 90 days notice, to terminate the Company’s obligation to make periodic payments thereunder and receive instead one cash payment equal to the fair market value of the Consultant’s interest in the revenue streams in the Orlando parks and any comparable projects that were open at that time for at least one year (the “Put Payment”). Under the terms of the 2009 Amendment, the earliest exercise date for the Put Payment is June 2017. If the Put Payment is exercised, the Consultant will be precluded from competing or consulting with another theme park for a period of five years after exercise, and the Consultant Agreement allows the Company the right to use ideas generated during the term of the Consultant Agreement without further payment. In addition, the 2009 Amendment established a formula-based method that includes a risk premium of 6.5% with respect to the Orlando parks to determine the amount of the Put Payment and modified terms related to comparable projects so that in addition to the existing comparable parks, three contemplated comparable parks are vested immediately for purposes of the quarterly consulting fee payments but each such contemplated comparable park must still be open for at least one year at the time the Put Payment is exercised in order for such project to be included in the Put Payment. The Consultant Agreement allows the Consultant to make a one-time election to fix the values for certain, but not all, inputs into the aforementioned formula to establish a minimum amount for the one-time payment to the Consultant (the “Alternative Payment”) in the event that the date the Consultant gives notice to terminate his right to receive compensation under the Consultant Agreement is at least 90 days before March 31, 2018. Although the Consultant made this election on January 15, 2010, the actual amount of the Alternative Payment cannot be determined prior to the Consultant exercising his right to receive the Put Payment, as the Alternative Payment amount is dependent on a discount rate that will set 90 days after the date on which the Consultant exercises his right to receive the Put Payment. The discount rate is based on the actual treasury rate on such date plus a risk premium. However, based on a sensitivity analysis of possible treasury and comparable rates for the United States and Japan ranging from 0% to 15%, the Company estimates that the Alternative Payment for its parks could range from $160,000,000 to $290,000,000, and the Alternative Payment for Universal Studios Japan could range from $135,000,000 to $245,000,000. This range has been calculated based on hypothetical treasury rates, and the Company cannot provide assurance as to the timing or amount of the Put Payment or the Alternative Payment. These payments may be higher or lower than the range provided above and any such deviation could be material. Any such payment will only be finally determinable once the Consultant ~~makes~~exercises anhis ~~election~~right to receive the Put Payment and the payment becomes due. The 2009 Amendment also ~~provides~~provided the Consultant a second-priority lien, which was automatically and unconditionally released in connection with the termination of the Company’s senior secured credit facilities (see Note 9), over UCDP’s real and tangible personal property (including a mortgage on the Company’s real property up to $400,000,000) to secure the Company’s periodic and one-time payment obligations and such amendment caps the Company’s ability to incur secured borrowings to an amount equal to the greater of $975,000,000 and 3.75x UCDP’s EBITDA (as defined in the ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit facilities). In connection with the 2009 Amendment, NBCUniversal guaranteed the Company’s obligations under the Consultant Agreement and the Company amended its partnership agreement to increase the special fee payable to UCSP thereunder through June 2017 from 5.0% to 5.25%. Upon the sale of any portion of ~~Blackstone’s and/or~~ the NBCU Parties’ respective interest in UCDP, the Consultant may have the right to sell in such sale an equal portion of his compensation rights under the Consultant Agreement to the prospective purchasers.

9. Subsequent Events

On July 1, 2011, NBCU completed its acquisition of Blackstone’s 50% equity interest in UCDP for approximately $1,025,000,000, subject to various purchase price adjustments. As a result, UCDP is now a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary of NBCU. Also, on July 1, 2011, UCDP issued to NBCU a $600,000,000 unsecured note due July 1, 2016 (the “NBCU Note”), the proceeds of which, together with available cash on hand, were used to refinance and repay all amounts outstanding ($801,000,000) under UCDP’s senior secured credit facilities, which were terminated. The NBCU Note bears interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points. On August 1, 2011, UCDP completed its redemption of $140,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2015 notes and $78,750,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2016 notes. Following the redemption, $260,000,000 principal amount of UCDP’s 2015 notes and $146,250,000 of UCDP’s 2016 notes remain outstanding. To facilitate the redemption of the 2015 notes and the 2016 notes, the Company received a contribution of approximately $240,000,000 from NBCU on August 1, 2011. On July 26, 2011, the Company made a prepayment of $75,000,000 on the NBCU Note.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview related to financial results

Our operating results have improved significantly since the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM on June 18, 2010. ~~Our~~For the first ~~quarter~~half of 2011, Paid Theme Park ~~Admissions~~ Admissions increased 6852% when compared to 2010, while total per capita spending increased 17%. The increase in volume and guest spending resulted in 9073% growth in Total Operating Revenues, which increased $~~146~~295 million to $~~309~~701 million compared to 2010. Net Income totaled $46144 million in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2011 as compared to a Net Loss of $3634 million in the prior year. EBITDA totaled $~~107~~267 million in the first ~~quarter~~half of 2011, which was an increase of $89187 million over the prior year’s results, while Operating Income totaled $75201 million during 2011 which was up $84176 million compared to 2010. Due to changes in our fiscal calendar, the first ~~quarter~~half of 2011 contained three additional days compared to ~~the first quarter of~~ 2010. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2011, we had $~~261~~276 million in ~~available cash and cash equivalents, including $186 million in~~ Cash And Cash Equivalents ~~and $75 million of availability under our revolving credit facility~~. In March 2011, we made a $90 million principal payment on our ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit facilities. Accordingly, we owed $1,426 million on our gross indebtedness at ~~March~~June 3130, 2011, all of which was classified as long-term.

On July 1, 2011, NBCUniversal Media, LLC (“NBCUniversal”) and its affiliates (NBCUniversal and its affiliates collectively, “NBCU”) completed its acquisition of the remaining 50% equity interest in us from affiliates of Blackstone Group L.P. (collectively, “Blackstone”) for approximately $1,025 million, subject to various purchase price adjustments. As a result, we are now a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary of NBCU. Also, on July 1, 2011, we issued to NBCU a $600 million unsecured note due July 1, 2016 (the “NBCU Note”), the proceeds of which, together with available cash on hand, were used to refinance and repay all amounts outstanding ($801 million) under our senior secured credit facilities, which were terminated. The NBCU Note bears interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points. On August 1, 2011, we completed our redemption of $140 million aggregate principal amount of our 2015 notes and $79 million aggregate principal amount of our 2016 notes. To facilitate the redemption of the 2015 notes and the 2016 notes, we received a contribution of approximately $240 million from NBCU on August 1, 2011. The following discussions of our results and financial position for our fiscal second quarter were not impacted by these significant developments which occurred during our fiscal third quarter.

Seasonality

Theme park attendance follows a seasonal pattern which coincides closely with holiday and school schedules. The year begins with the end of the peak Christmas and New Year’s holiday period. When children return to school, attendance levels subside. During the March to April timeframe, spring break and Easter vacation periods drive seasonally high attendance. Since the peak spring break period fluctuates from year to year between the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second quarter, historical quarterly financial information might not be comparable. May is a traditionally slow attendance period. June marks the beginning of the summer attendance peak when local schools are out for the summer. This peak attendance period continues throughout the month of June, as schools outside of Florida finish their terms. The peak summer period includes the entire month of July and the first few weeks in August, when the local schools begin to go back into session. Attendance levels continue to decline through Labor Day, when schools outside of Florida begin. Excluding special events such as “Rock the Universe” in September and “Halloween Horror Nights” in October, the period from September through November is seasonally slow, with an attendance spike around Thanksgiving week. Attendance falls again after Thanksgiving weekend, and does not pick up until the third week of December, when the peak Christmas and New Year’s holiday period begins. The Atlantic Ocean hurricane season begins in June and ends in November of each year. Historically, hurricanes have had little impact on Orlando theme parks. Since opening in 1990, our parks have been closed only five days due to the inclement weather caused by hurricanes, four of which occurred during the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons.

Based on the seasonality of our attendance, the results for the three months and six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and ~~March~~June 2827, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

Critical accounting policies and estimates

In the ordinary course of business, we make a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of results of operations and financial condition in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Results could differ significantly from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions. We believe that the application of these accounting policies, which are important to our financial position and results of operations, requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management. For a summary of all of our accounting policies, including our critical accounting policies, see Note 2 in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under cover of Form 10-K. Besides what is disclosed within this document, there have been no material developments with respect to the critical accounting policies discussed in detail in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 within ”“Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Period end

The three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and June 27, 2010 each contained 9091 days. The six months ended June 30, 2011 contained 181 days, while the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 2827, 2010 contained 178 87 days. Effective the first quarter of 2011, our fiscal calendar was changed from a 13-week format to a traditional calendar with quarter ending dates of March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31. Although this will not impact the total number of days in our fiscal year, it may alter the number of days within a given quarter.

NM—Not meaningful

Primarily due to the success of The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM, which opened June 18, 2010, Paid Theme Park Admissions increased 6841% when compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2010. We experienced growth in our domestic ~~market~~and ~~of more than 80%, while our~~ international ~~visitation~~markets ~~grew~~of by more than 3040%. ~~Due to changes in our fiscal calendar, the first quarter of 2011 contained three additional days compared to the first quarter of 2010.~~ Total theme park spending on a per guest basis increased 17%, with every category of per capita spending showing growth. As a result of increased attendance and strong per capita spending, our Total Operating Revenues increased $~~146~~148.27 million, or 9061%, ~~versus~~compared to the ~~first~~second quarter of 2010. Theme Park Ticket Revenue Per Paid Admission increased 1012% as a result of changes in our ticket offerings and selective price changes to maximize yield. Theme Park Food, Beverage And Merchandise Revenue Per Turnstile Admission increased 4022% primarily due to guest spending on new merchandise products and food and beverage offerings related to The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM. Other Revenue increased $1617.26 million, or 6350%, when compared to the prior year primarily due to $1012.06 million in increased revenue related to higher volume at our travel company and $53.14 million in additional revenue from our CityWalk operations. Our travel company has benefited from offering guests exclusive vacation packages which include certain perks, such as early park admission to experience The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM.

Theme Park Operations increased $910.2 million, or 2220%, largely due to incremental spend on entertainment, ride maintenance and other operating costs resulting from increased attendance and the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM. While Theme Park Cost Of Product Sold increased $1715.58 million, Theme Park Cost Of Product Sold as a percentage of Theme Park Food And Beverage Revenue and Theme Park Merchandise Revenue decreased 10 3.17 percentage points to 4847.50%, as we were able to leverage the higher volume. Special Fee Payable To Universal City Studios Productions And Consultant Fee increased by $10.1 million, or 63%, as a result of the growth in our Total Operating Revenues. Depreciation And Amortization increased $5.0 million, or 17%, as we incurred a full quarter of depreciation and amortization associated with our new content. Other Costs And Operating Expenses increased $1716.07 million, principally due to increased operating costs at our travel company and CityWalk operations in addition to higher credit card fees. All of these factors primarily resulted from our increased volume and new content as discussed above. Non-Operating Expense decreased ~~increased~~ $13.71 million compared to 2010, ~~which was due to higher interest expense~~ as we ~~capitalized~~incurred ~~approximately~~a discrete $3.13 million charge in ~~interest~~April ~~expense~~2010 related to ~~our long-term construction projects during~~ the ~~first~~refinancing ~~quarter~~ of ~~2010. This was partially offset by a reduction in~~ our ~~interest rates on our renewed~~ senior secured credit facilities ~~in April 2010 as well as reductions in the principal balance on our renewed senior secured credit facilities as discussed previously~~.

Paid Theme Park Admissions increased 52% when compared to the first half of 2010 as we experienced growth in our domestic market of more than 50% with international visitation up by approximately 40%. Although we attribute the majority of the increased volume to our new content and marketing efforts, due to changes in our fiscal calendar, the first half of 2011 contained three additional days compared to the first half of 2010. Total theme park spending on a per guest basis increased 17%, with every category of per capita spending showing significant growth. As a result of higher volume and strong per capita spending, our Total Operating Revenues increased $294.9 million, or 73%, versus the first half of 2010. Theme Park Ticket Revenue Per Paid Admission increased 11% as a result of changes in our ticket offerings and selective price changes to maximize yield. Theme Park Food, Beverage And Merchandise Revenue Per Turnstile Admission increased 29% primarily due to guest spending on new merchandise products and food and beverage offerings related to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter^TM. Other Revenue increased $33.8 million, or 55%, when compared to the prior year primarily due to $22.5 million in increased revenue related to higher volume at our travel company and $8.5 million in additional revenue from our CityWalk operations.

Theme Park Operations increased $19.4 million, or 21%, largely due to incremental spend on entertainment, ride maintenance and other operating costs resulting from increased attendance and the opening of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter^TM. While Theme Park Cost Of Product Sold increased $33.3 million, Theme Park Cost Of Product Sold as a percentage of Theme Park Food And Beverage Revenue and Theme Park Merchandise Revenue decreased 5.9 percentage points to 47.7%, as we were able to leverage the higher volume. Special Fee Payable To Universal City Studios Productions And Consultant Fee increased by $20.2 million, or 75%, as a result of the growth in our Total Operating Revenues. Depreciation And Amortization increased $10.5 million, or 19%, as we incurred a full six-months of depreciation and amortization associated with our new content. Other Costs And Operating Expenses increased $33.7 million, principally due to increased operating costs at our travel company and CityWalk operations in addition to higher credit card fees. All of these factors primarily resulted from our increased volume as discussed above. Non-Operating Expense decreased $1.4 million compared to 2010 as we incurred a discrete $3.3 million charge in April 2010 related to the refinancing of our senior secured credit facilities in addition to $0.7 million in improved earnings at our unconsolidated joint ventures during 2011. These items were partially offset by an increase in our interest expense of $2.8 million compared to the prior year as we capitalized more interest costs in 2010 prior to the completion of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter^TM.

Other performance measures

We are providing Covenant EBITDA because it is used by some investors as a measure of our ability to service debt, while we are also providing EBITDA as it is a measure of Company operating performance under our Annual Incentive Plan. While EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes and depreciation and amortization, Covenant EBITDA includes certain other adjustments permitted by the definition of EBITDA in our ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit agreement and the indentures governing the notes. Some of these adjustments include exclusion of gains or losses from the sale of assets held for sale, exclusion of impairment charges on long lived assets and adjustments related to income and cash flows derived from investments in unconsolidated entities. Covenant EBITDA and EBITDA are not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and should not be considered alternatives for Net Income, Net Cash And Cash Equivalents Provided By Operating Activities and other consolidated income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles or as measures of profitability or liquidity. Covenant EBITDA and EBITDA, because they are before debt service, capital expenditures and working capital needs, do not represent cash that is available for other purposes at our discretion. Our presentation of Covenant EBITDA and EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. For these reasons, we have prepared a two-step reconciliation of our U.S. generally accepted accounting principles financial measures to EBITDA and Covenant EBITDA. Covenant EBITDA iswas the primary basis in our ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit agreement to determine our quarterly compliance with our secured leverage ratio and the interest coverage ratio, which iswas computed based on the prior twelve months.

Liquidity, capital resources and financial position

In light of the difficult economic climate, our significant leverage and our reliance on discretionary consumer spending, our liquidity is subject to numerous risks as discussed in “Item 1A. Risk factors.” located within our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Overview

We believe our ability to generate cash flows from operations is a key financial strength as well as our principal source of liquidity. We have generated positive cash flows from operations for each of the past five years, and we believe that we will continue to generate positive cash flows from operations in 2011 and in future years. In addition to the cash flow generated from our operations, our available cash ~~and~~on ~~our~~hand ~~unused revolving credit facility under our renewed senior secured credit agreement~~ also ~~provide~~provides liquidity. As such, we believe that we have the financial resources necessary to meet business requirements for the next 12 months. Historically, our principal liquidity requirements have been for capital expenditures, special fee payments, debt retirements, interest payments, working capital and Consultant fee payments. Our strategy includes rationalizing our land holdings, which may involve sales from time to time of non-strategic land assets. However, as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we had no land assets that qualified as held for sale in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.

The following table summarizes key aspects of our cash flows for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and ~~March~~June 2827, 2010 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended
	Six Months Ended

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and ~~March~~June 2827, 2010, Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities was $~~100~~214.54 million and $3083.28 million, respectively. This increase in cash flow from operating activities of $70130.26 million is primarily due to an improvement in our net income of $82177.2 million. ~~Additionally,~~ wePartially ~~had~~offsetting ~~incremental~~the impact of the ~~depreciation~~growth ~~and~~in ~~amortization~~our ~~expense~~net income were changes in our working capital of $553.54 million. ~~which~~The ~~was~~changes ~~included~~in asour anworking ~~adjustment~~capital towere ~~reconcile~~principally ~~Net~~due ~~Income~~ to ~~Net~~payments ~~Cash~~made ~~And~~under ~~Cash~~our ~~Equivalents~~incentive ~~Provided~~plans Byduring ~~Operating~~the ~~Activities.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31~~June 30, 2011 and ~~March 28~~June 27, 2010 totaled $623.45 million and $3771.1 0 million, respectively. For both periods, the amount consisted exclusively of capital expenditures. The decrease in capital expenditures is largely due to the completion of The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM in June 2010. We make annual investments both to provide ongoing capital support for our existing park attractions and infrastructure, and also to fund the development of new park attractions and infrastructure. We believe these investments are critical in maintaining our position of having technologically advanced theme parks and to effectively compete with our competitors. These costs can vary from one year to the next, depending on the timing of the construction cycles. We estimate our 2011 expenditures (excluding capitalized interest and payments on previously accrued liabilities) will be approximately $80100.0 million.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and ~~March~~June 2827, 2010, Net Cash Used For Financing Activities was $~~167~~174.42 million and $014.27 million, respectively. The amounts used during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 were primarily a $90.0 million principal payment under ~~our~~the ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit facilities as discussed previously and distributions to ~~our~~Universal City Property Management II LLC and Blackstone Capital Partners (prior to July 1, 2011, the “Partners”), totaling $76.3 million of which $31.6 million were required under our partnership agreement to reimburse the Partners for their respective tax liabilities from our net income in 2010. The amounts used during the six months ended June 27, 2010 primarily related to $8.1 million in payments of financing costs that were incurred during our amendment of the senior secured credit facility in April 2010 or were accrued during our refinancing in November 2009, in addition to $5.8 million in payments on our long-term obligations.

Consultant agreement

On October 18, 2009, we executed an amendment to our agreement (the “Consultant Agreement”), under which we pay a fee to Stephen Spielberg (the “Consultant”) for consulting services and exclusivity equal to a percentage of certain revenues from our attractions and other facilities owned or operated, in whole or in part, by us. Under the terms of the Consultant Agreement, the Consultant is also entitled to a fee based on a percentage of gross revenues of comparable projects, which are gated motion picture and television themed attractions owned or operated, in whole or in part, by us, or any of our partners or any of their affiliates, other than in Universal City, California. At present, the only operating theme parks that are deemed to be comparable projects are Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, Japan and Universal Studios Singapore on Sentosa Island, Singapore. See Note 7 “Commitments and contingencies” of the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company in “Part I—Item 1. Financial Statements” for information on the fee expense incurred under the Consultant Agreement for the three months ~~ended~~and ~~March~~six 31months ended June 30, 2011 and ~~March~~ 28June 27, 2010, respectively.

The Consultant Agreement does not have an expiration date, but starting in June 2017, the Consultant has the right, upon 90 days’ notice, to terminate UCDP’s obligation to make periodic payments thereunder and receive instead one cash payment equal to the fair market value of the Consultant’s interest in the revenue streams or, under certain circumstances, an alternative one-time payment, in each case with respect to the Orlando parks and any comparable projects that were open at that time for at least one year (the “Put Payment”), which amounts could be significant. If the Put Payment is exercised, the Consultant will be precluded from competing or consulting with another theme park for a period of five years after exercise, and the Consultant Agreement allows UCDP the right to use ideas generated during the term of the Consultant Agreement without further payment. The Consultant Agreement contains a formula-based method that includes a risk premium of 6.5% with respect to the Orlando parks to determine the amount of the Put Payment. The Consultant Agreement allows the Consultant to make a one-time election to fix the values for certain, but not all, inputs into the aforementioned formula to establish a minimum amount for the one-time payment to the Consultant (the “Alternative Payment”) in the event that the date the Consultant gives notice to terminate his right to receive compensation under the Consultant Agreement is at least 90 days before March 31, 2018. Although the Consultant made this election on January 15, 2010, the actual amount of the Alternative Payment cannot be determined prior to the Consultant exercising his right to receive the Put Payment, as the Alternative Payment amount is dependent on a discount rate that will set 90 days after the date on which the Consultant exercises his right to receive the Put Payment. The discount rate is based on the actual treasury rate on such date plus a risk premium. However, based on a sensitivity analysis of possible treasury and comparable rates for the United States and Japan ranging from 0% to 15%, we estimate that the Alternative Payment for our parks could range from $160.0 million to $290.0 million, and the Alternative Payment for Universal Studios Japan could range from $135.0 million to $245.0 million. This range has been calculated based on hypothetical treasury rates, and we cannot provide assurance as to the timing or amount of the Put Payment or the Alternative Payment. These payments may be higher or lower than the range provided above and any such deviation could be material. Any such payment will only be finally determinable once the Consultant ~~makes~~exercises anhis ~~election~~right to receive the Put Payment and the payment becomes due. In addition to the existing comparable parks, three contemplated comparable parks are vested immediately for purposes of the quarterly consulting fee payments, but each such contemplated comparable park must still be open for at least one year at the time the Put Payment is exercised in order for such project to be included in the Put Payment. In addition, the Consultant ~~has~~had a second-priority lien over UCDP’s real and tangible personal property, including a mortgage on our real property up to $400.0 million, to secure UCDP’s periodic and one-time payment obligations and the notes ~~are~~were effectively subordinated to the Consultant’s interests to the extent of the value of those assets. The lien securing the Consultant’s interest, which iswas automatically and unconditionally released in connection with the termination of our senior secured credit facilities (see Note 9 in Part I. Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements), was junior to the lien ~~securing~~that secured our ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit facilities. The Consultant Agreement caps UCDP’s ability to incur secured borrowings to an amount equal to the greater of $975.0 million and 3.75x UCDP’s Covenant EBITDA (as previously defined in the ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit agreement). Upon the sale of any portion of ~~Blackstone~~Universal City Studios Productions’s ~~and/~~or certain of its affiliates’ (the “NBCU Parties’”) respective interest in UCDP, the Consultant may have the right to sell in such sale an equal portion of his compensation rights under the Consultant Agreement to the prospective purchasers. Our obligations under the agreement are guaranteed by NBCUniversal ~~Media,~~and ~~LLC~~Universal ~~and~~Studios Company LLC (“USC”), as successor to MCA Inc., and USC’s obligations under that guarantee have in turn been assumed by Universal City Studios Productions LLLP (“UCSP”). UCSP has indemnified us against any liability under the Consultant Agreement related to any comparable project that is not owned or controlled by us. While UCDP remains ultimately liable for those obligations, historically the comparable parks have paid them directly to the Consultant. However, if such comparable parks were not to pay, UCDP would be required to make the payments and seek indemnification from UCSP. ~~Under the terms of the notes and the renewed senior secured credit agreement, the lien securing our obligations under the Consultant Agreement is a permitted lien.~~ See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks related to our indebtedness— Our ability to refinance our debt obligations, including the notes, could be adversely impacted by the Consultant’s right, starting in June 2017, to terminate the periodic payments under the Consultant Agreement and receive instead one payment equal to the fair market value of the Consultant’s interest in the Orlando parks and any comparable projects or, under certain circumstances, an alternative one-time payment”, located within our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Special fee requirements

Under our partnership agreement, a “special fee” is payable to UCSP through Universal City Property Management II LLC (“Universal CPM”) equal to 5.25% of certain revenue, as defined, generated by Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure. During the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and ~~March~~June 2827, 2010 the special fee amounted to $1417.07 million and $10.9 million, respectively, while during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 27, 2010 the special fee amounted to $31.7 million and $18.21 million, respectively. During the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and ~~March~~June 2827, 2010, the interest incurred on the special fee was $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively., while during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 27, 2010, the interest incurred on the special fee was $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

~~Under~~Previously under the terms of our ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit agreement and currently under the terms of the indentures governing the 2015 and 2016 notes, the special fee related to both Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure can only be paid upon achievement of certain but different ratios. The most restrictive quarterly covenant for payment of the special fee is a fixed charge coverage ratio (as historically defined in the ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit agreement) or a special fee ratio (as currently defined in the bond indentures) greater than or equal to 1.1 to 1.0. This ratio was met as of each of our quarter end dates throughout the period from December 31, 2009 to ~~March~~June 3130, 2011, thus allowing the special fee to be paid. Accordingly, during the three months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and ~~March~~June 2827, 2010, we paid total fees of $1614.0 million and $87.92 million, respectively, to UCSP. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and June 27, 2010, we paid total fees of $30.0 million and $16.1 million, respectively. At ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the current portion of our consolidated balance sheet included $1417.09 million and $16.0 million, respectively, related to special fees payable to UCSP. Pursuant to certain subordination agreements, the special fee may not behave been paid if there iswould have been an event of default (or to the knowledge of our officers a default) under our ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit facilities or the notes.

Distributions

Under the ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit agreement (which has been terminated), for years beginning on or after December 31, 2010, distributions ~~may~~could be made in an aggregate amount not to exceed 25% of excess cash flow if no event of default ~~exists~~existed and the total leverage ratio iswas not greater than 5.5x. Additionally, the indentures governing the notes limit distributions that may be made to an amount equal to our Covenant EBITDA for the period from the beginning of the first fiscal quarter commencing on or after September 28, 2009 to the end of our most recently ended fiscal quarter for which internal financial statements are available less 1.75x our consolidated cash interest expense. The notes also have an unrestricted basket of $50.0 million available as of the date of the refinancing. The above restrictions do not apply to our ability to make a distribution to the Partners in an aggregate amount equal to our hypothetical federal income tax, as provided for in UCDP’s partnership agreement. In relation to our operating results for the year ended December 31, 2010, we made distributions of $44.8 million (excluding distributions related to the Partners’ tax liabilities) during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March~~June 3130, 2011.

Covenant stipulations

Our ~~renewed~~bonds ~~senior~~currently ~~secured~~contain ~~credit~~a ~~agreement~~number ~~and~~of ~~the~~covenants ~~notes~~which ~~contain~~were aalso ~~number~~contained ofin ~~covenants~~our ~~that,~~senior ~~among~~secured credit agreement. Among other things, these covenants restrict, subject to certain exceptions, our ability, and the ability of our subsidiaries, to sell assets, incur additional indebtedness, repay other indebtedness (including the notes), pay certain distributions, create liens on assets, make investments, loans or advances, make certain acquisitions, engage in mergers or consolidations, enter into sale and leaseback transactions, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, amend certain material agreements governing our indebtedness and change the business conducted by us and our subsidiaries. In addition, the ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit agreement ~~contains~~contained the following financial covenants: a maximum total leverage ratio; a minimum interest coverage ratio; and a limitation on capital expenditures. We believe that we were in compliance in all material respects with all financial covenants as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The following is a schedule as of June 30, 2011 of our fixed and variable rate debt maturities and principal payments for each of the next five years, and thereafter (in thousands, except for percentages):

	2011		2012		2013		2014			2015			Thereafter			Total		Fair value
Debt (1):
Fixed rate debt	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—		$	400,000		$	225,000		$	625,000	$	~~689~~712,~~688~~750
Average interest rate		n/a		n/a		n/a		n/a			8.9	%		10.9	%
Variable rate debt (2)	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	801,000		$	—		$	—		$	801,000	$	~~805~~800,~~005~~752
Average interest rate (3)		n/a		n/a		n/a		5.5	%		n/a			n/a
Total gross debt	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	801,000		$	400,000		$	225,000		$	1,426,000	$	1,~~494~~513,~~693~~502

(1) Amounts exclude discounts and therefore represent gross maturities. Additionally, this table does not reflect changes in our long-term indebtedness resulting from subsequent events as discussed in Note 9 of our financial statements contained in Part I. Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements.

(2) Excludes principal payments based upon our excess cash flow as required under the ~~renewed~~ senior secured credit facilities as such amounts ~~are~~were ~~currently~~ undeterminable.

(3) Represents the ~~current~~ interest rate of the ~~renewed~~term loans under the senior secured credit facilities as of June 30, 2011.

We are exposed to market risks relating to fluctuations in interest rates. We may mitigate this risk by paying down additional outstanding balances on our variable rate loans, refinancing with fixed rate permanent debt or obtaining cash flow hedge instruments. We ~~have~~had $801.0 million of unhedged variable rate debt as of ~~March~~June 3130, 2011. Based on these variable-rate obligations, each 1% increase or decrease in the level of interest rates would have, respectively, ~~increase~~increased or ~~decrease~~decreased our annual interest expense and related cash payments by approximately $8.0 million. The sensitivity analysis described above, contains certain simplifying assumptions, (for example, it assumes a constant level of variable-rate debt for all maturities and an immediate, across-the-board increase or decrease in the level of interest rates with no other subsequent changes for the remainder of the period). Therefore, although it gives an indication of our exposure to changes in interest rates, it is not intended to predict future results and our actual results will likely vary.
