Consolidating Financial Information
CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have guaranteed its obligations under the $355.0 million outstanding principal amount of 8.25% notes due 2020. The following presents the condensed consolidating financial information for:
 
Erickson Incorporated (the ‘‘Parent Company’’), the issuer of the guaranteed obligations;

Guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis, as specified in the indenture related to the Company’s obligations under the 2020 Senior Notes;

Non-guarantor subsidiaries, on a combined basis, which consist of the Company’s primarily foreign subsidiaries;

Consolidating entries and eliminations represent adjustments to (a) eliminate intercompany transactions between or among the Parent Company, the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries, (b) eliminate the Parent Company investments in subsidiaries, and (c) record consolidating entries; and

Erickson Incorporated and subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

Each guarantor subsidiary was 100% owned by the Parent Company as of the date of each condensed consolidating balance sheet presented. The 2020 Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each guarantor subsidiary. Each entity in the consolidating financial information follows the same accounting policies as described in the consolidated financial statements, except for the use by the Parent Company and guarantor subsidiaries of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in subsidiaries which are eliminated upon consolidation. Changes in intercompany receivables and payables related to operations, such as intercompany sales or service charges, are included in cash flows from operating activities. Amounts presented in the following tables are in thousands.
