1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation – (continued)
Management, a Delaware limited partnership, which is a newly formed management company that provides certain management and administrative services to the Private Funds.
Other Acquisitions
On May 19, 2006, our wholly owned subsidiaries, AREP Laughlin Corporation (“AREP Laughlin”) and AREP Boardwalk Properties LLC, completed the purchases, respectively, of the Flamingo Laughlin Hotel and Casino, now known as the Aquarius Casino Resort (the “Aquarius”), in Laughlin, Nevada, and 7.7 acres of land that was adjacent to the former Sands Hotel and Casino (“The Sands”), in Atlantic City, New Jersey, known as the Traymore site, from affiliates of Harrah’s Operating Company, Inc. (“Harrah’s”). Operating results for the Aquarius are included with Icahn Enterprises Holdings’ results beginning as of May 19, 2006. On November 17, 2006, we sold the Atlantic City gaming operations, including the Traymore site. As discussed below, on April 22, 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell our Nevada gaming operations.
On August 8, 2005, WestPoint International Inc. (“WPI”), our indirect majority owned subsidiary, completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of WestPoint Stevens Inc. (“WPS”). Operating results for WPI are included with Icahn Enterprises Holdings’ results beginning as of August 8, 2005. In December 2006, WPI acquired a manufacturing facility in Bahrain for an aggregate cash consideration of $98.6 million and a seller note of $10.6 million. The purchase price is subject to working capital adjustments. As discussed below, on October 18, 2007, WPI entered into an agreement to sell the inventory at substantially all of its 30 retail outlet stores.
Discontinued Operations
As discussed further below, on October 18, 2007, within our Home Fashion segment, WPI, our indirect majority owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell the inventory at substantially all of its 30 retail outlet stores. These operations met the criteria for discontinued operations during the Company’s third quarter of 2007. Therefore, the portion of the business related to the stores’ retail operations has been classified for all years presented as discontinued operations.
On April 22, 2007, within our former Gaming segment, American Entertainment Properties Corp (“AEP”), our wholly owned indirect subsidiary, entered into an agreement to sell all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of American Casino and Entertainment Properties LLC (“ACEP”), which comprises our remaining gaming operations.
On November 21, 2006, within our former Oil and Gas segment, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, AREP O & G Holdings LLC, consummated the sale of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of NEG Oil & Gas LLC (“NEG Oil & Gas”) to SandRidge Energy, Inc. (“SandRidge”), formerly Riata Energy, Inc.
On November 17, 2006, within our former Gaming segment, our indirect majority owned subsidiary, Atlantic Coast Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (“Atlantic Coast”), completed the sale to Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (“Pinnacle”) of the outstanding membership interests in ACE Gaming LLC (“ACE”), the owner of The Sands, and 100% of the equity interests in certain subsidiaries of IEH which own parcels of real estate adjacent to The Sands, including the Traymore site.
Certain of our real estate properties are classified as discontinued operations. The properties classified as discontinued operations have changed during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, or fiscal 2006, and, accordingly, certain amounts in the accompanying financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, or fiscal 2005, and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, or fiscal 2004, have been reclassified to conform to the current classification of properties. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, within our Real Estate segment, five properties of our Real Estate segment were reclassified to held for sale as they were subject to a contract or letter of intent. The operations of these properties were classified as discontinued operations for all years presented.

1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation – (continued)
The financial position and results of these operations are presented as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets and discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations.
Filing Status of Subsidiaries
National Energy Group, Inc. (“NEGI”), and Atlantic Coast are reporting companies under the ’34 Act. In addition, ACEP voluntarily files annual, quarterly and current reports under the ’34 Act. See Note 18, “Subsequent Events,” for additional information.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
As discussed in Note 1, we operate in several diversified segments. The accounting policies related to the specific segments or industries are differentiated, as required, in the list of significant accounting policies set out below.
Principles of Consolidation
a. General
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Icahn Enterprises Holdings and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries in which control can be exercised, in addition to those entities in which Icahn Enterprises Holdings has a substantive controlling, general partner interest or in which it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. We are considered to have control if we have a direct or indirect ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights. We use the guidance set forth in AICPA Statement of Position No.78-9,Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures (“SOP 78-9”), Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-05,Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights (“EITF No. 04-05”), FASB Interpretation No. 46R,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”), and in SFAS No. 94,Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries — An Amendment of ARB No. 51, with Related Amendments of APB Opinion No. 18, and ARB No. 43 Chapter 12 (“SFAS No. 94”), with respect to our investments in partnerships and limited liability companies. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, assets and liabilities transferred between entities under common control are accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, and the financial statements of previously separate companies for periods prior to their acquisition are retrospectively adjusted on a combined basis.
b. Investment Management
The accompanying financial statements include the consolidated financial statements of the Investment Management and GP Entities and certain consolidated Private Funds during the periods presented. As referred to herein, the term “Investment Management and GP Entities” includes either Icahn Management (for the period prior to the acquisition on August 8, 2007) or New Icahn Management (for the period subsequent to the acquisition on August 8, 2007) and, in either case, the General Partners. The Investment Management and GP Entities consolidate those entities in which (i) they have an investment of more than 50% and have control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity pursuant to SFAS No. 94, (ii) they have a substantive controlling, general partner interest pursuant to EITF No. 04-05 or (iii) they are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) pursuant to FIN 46R. With respect to the consolidated Private Funds, the limited partners and shareholders have no substantive rights to impact ongoing governance and operating activities.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
Icahn Management (and, subsequent to the acquisition of the Partnership Interests on August 8, 2007, New Icahn Management), the Onshore GP and the Offshore GP are consolidated into Icahn Enterprises Holdings pursuant to SFAS No. 94 as Icahn Enterprises Holdings owns greater than 50% of the partnership interests in these entities. Icahn Enterprises Holdings has a substantive controlling, general partnership interest in these entities.
The Onshore Fund is consolidated into the Onshore GP pursuant to EITF 04-05, which defines the criteria for determining whether a general partner controls a limited partnership when the limited partners have certain rights, such as “kick-out” rights. According to EITF 04-05, consolidation of a limited partnership by the general partner is required when these rights do not exist.
Icahn Fund Ltd. (the “Offshore Fund”) and, from May 1, 2006 through October 1, 2006, Icahn Sterling Fund Ltd. (the “Sterling Fund”) are consolidated into the Offshore GP, pursuant to FIN 46R. On October 1, 2006, the Sterling Fund’s assets were contributed to the Offshore Fund. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. A VIE must be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who, along with its affiliates and agents, will absorb a majority of the VIE's expected losses or receive a majority of the expected residual returns as a result of holding variable interests.
Although the Private Funds are not investment companies within the meaning of the 1940 Act, each of the consolidated Private Funds is, for U.S. GAAP purposes, an investment company under the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide — Investment Companies (the “AICPA Guide”). The Investment Management and GP Entities have retained the specialized accounting of these funds in accordance with EITF Issue No. 85-12,Retention of Specialized Accounting for Investments in Consolidation. Offshore Master Fund I, managed by the Offshore GP, is structured as a master-feeder arrangement, whereby the Offshore Fund makes its investment in Offshore Master Fund I. In instances where the Investment Management and GP Entities, through their direct equity interest and consolidated Feeder Funds, own all of the outstanding equity shares of an affiliated master fund, the Investment Management and GP Entities consolidate such master fund. Pursuant to the AICPA Guide, the consolidated Private Funds' investments are reflected in the consolidated financial statements at their estimated fair values with changes in unrealized gains and losses included as a component of net earnings. Furthermore, pursuant to their specialized accounting, the Private Funds are not subject to the consolidation provisions of FIN 46R with respect to their investments.
The management fees earned by Icahn Management (and by New Icahn Management subsequent to the acquisition on August 8, 2007) from consolidated entities and the incentive allocations earned by the Onshore GP and the Offshore GP from the Onshore Fund and Offshore Master Fund I, respectively, are eliminated in consolidation; however, the Investment Management and GP Entities’ allocated share of the net income from the Private Funds includes the amount of these eliminated fees. Accordingly, the consolidation of the Private Funds has no material net effect on the Investment Management and GP Entities' earnings from the Private Funds.
Retrospective Application of Change in Accounting for Investment in ImClone Systems Incorporated
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 we changed our method of accounting for our investment in ImClone Systems Incorporated (“ImClone”), to the equity method of accounting. Previously, we accounted for our investment in ImClone as an available-for-sale security. In accordance with SFAS No. 115 (as defined below) available for sale securities are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses excluded from earnings and reported in a separate component of shareholders’ equity as “Other Comprehensive Income.” We record our proportionate equity in ImClone’s earnings and capital transactions on a one calendar quarter time lag.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
From the first quarter of fiscal 2005 through the third quarter of fiscal 2006, Icahn Enterprises Holdings and certain other affiliates of Mr. Icahn purchased shares of common stock of ImClone. As of September 30, 2006, the total shares of ImClone held by Icahn Enterprises Holdings as a percentage of ImClone’s total outstanding shares were 5.4%. Also, in October 2006, Mr. Icahn was appointed Chairman of the board of directors of ImClone and certain other changes to ImClone’s board of directors took place, which resulted in Mr. Icahn having the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of ImClone.
In assessing the applicability of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18,The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock(“APB 18”), we have determined that, because of the ability of Mr. Icahn to exercise significant influence over ImClone’s operating and financial policies, we were required to adopt the equity method of accounting for our investment in ImClone, and accordingly, the fiscal 2005 financial statements have been adjusted to apply the new method retrospectively. See Note 7, “Investment and Related Matters,” for information regarding the effect of this change on net earnings and total partners’ equity.
As further described below, we adopted SFAS No. 159 as of January 1, 2007 and elected to apply the fair value option to our investment in ImClone.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. The more significant estimates include (1) the valuation allowances of accounts receivable and inventory, (2) the valuation of long-lived assets, mortgages and notes receivable, (3) costs to complete for land, house and condominium developments, (4) gaming-related liability and promotional programs, (5) deferred tax assets, (6) oil and gas reserve estimates, (7) asset retirement obligations and (8) fair value of derivatives. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider short-term investments, which are highly liquid with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.
Cash Held at Consolidated Affiliated Partnerships and Restricted Cash
Cash held at consolidated affiliated partnerships and restricted cash consists of (i) cash and cash equivalents held by the Onshore Fund and Offshore Master Fund I that, although not legally restricted, is not available to fund the general liquidity needs of the Investment Management and GP Entities or Icahn Enterprises Holdings and (ii) restricted cash relating to derivatives held on deposit.
Investments and Related Transactions — Investment Management
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions of the Private Funds are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are based on the first-in, first-out or the specific identification methods. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized using the effective yield method.
Valuation of Investments. Securities of the Private Funds that are listed on a securities exchange are valued at their last sales price on the primary securities exchange on which such securities are traded on such date. Securities that are not listed on any exchange but are traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean

between the last “bid” and “ask” price for such security on such date. Securities and other instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the applicable general partner.
Foreign Currency Transactions.The books and records of the Private Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Transactions during the period denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at the rate of exchange applicable on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The Private Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized gains (losses) from securities transactions and the net unrealized gains (losses) on securities positions.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments.The fair values of the Private Funds’ assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under SFAS No. 107,Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, approximate the carrying amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets.
Securities Sold, Not Yet Purchased.The Private Funds may sell an investment they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that investment. When the Private Funds sell an investment short, they must borrow the investment sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which they made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Private Funds sold the investment short, or a loss, unlimited in amount, will be recognized upon the cover of the short sale.
Due From Brokers. Due from brokers represents cash balances with the Private Funds’ clearing brokers. A portion of the cash at brokers is related to securities sold, not yet purchased; its use is therefore restricted until the securities are purchased. Securities sold, not yet purchased are collateralized by certain of the Private Funds’ investments in securities. Margin debit balances, which may exist from time to time, are collateralized by certain of the Private Funds’ investments in securities.
Investments — Holding Company and other operations
Investments in equity and debt securities are classified as either trading or available-for-sale based upon whether we intend to hold the investment for the foreseeable future. Trading securities are valued at quoted market value at each balance sheet date with the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the consolidated statements of operations. Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value on our balance sheet. Unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are excluded from earnings and reported as a separate component of partners’ equity and when sold are reclassified out of partners’ equity to the consolidated statements of operations. For purposes of determining gains and losses, the cost of securities is based on specific identification.
A decline in the market value of any available-for-sale security below cost that is deemed to be other than temporary results in an impairment that is charged to earnings and the establishment of a new cost basis for the investment. Dividend income is recorded when declared and interest income is recognized when earned.
Derivatives
From time to time, our subsidiaries enter into derivative contracts, including (a) commodity price collar agreements entered into by our former Oil and Gas segment to reduce our exposure to price risk in the spot market for natural gas and oil (prior to the sale of our Oil and Gas segment to SandRidge in November 2006), (b) commodity futures contracts, forward purchase commodity contracts and option contracts entered into by our Home Fashion segment primarily to manage our exposure to cotton commodity price risk and (c) purchased and written option contracts, swap contracts, futures contracts and forward contracts entered into by

the Private Funds. We follow SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, which was amended by SFAS No. 138,Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities. These pronouncements established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities, which generally require recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at their fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value depends on the intended use of the derivative and its resulting designation. Through December 31, 2006, we did not use hedge accounting and accordingly, all unrealized gains and losses are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations.
Trade, Notes and Other Receivables
An allowance for doubtful accounts is determined through analysis of the aging of accounts receivable at the date of the consolidated financial statements, assessments of collectibility based on an evaluation of historic and anticipated trends, the financial condition of our customers, and an evaluation of the impact of economic conditions. Our allowance for doubtful accounts is an estimate based on specifically identified accounts as well as general reserves based on historical experience.
Inventories, Net
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. The cost of manufactured goods, which are held only by WPI, includes material, labor and factory overhead. We maintain reserves for estimated excess, slow moving and obsolete inventory as well as inventory whose carrying value is in excess of net realizable value.
Inventories consisted of the following (in $000s):
 | |  | |  |
| | December 31, |
| | 2006 | | 2005 |
Raw materials and supplies | | $ | 32,059 | | | $ | 33,083 | |
Goods in process | | | 83,592 | | | | 100,337 | |
Finished goods | | | 108,832 | | | | 90,205 | |
| | $ | 224,483 | | | $ | 223,625 | |
Property, Plant and Equipment
Land and construction-in-progress costs are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Interest is capitalized on expenditures for long-term projects until a salable condition is reached. The interest capitalization rate is based on the interest rate on specific borrowings to fund the projects.
Buildings, furniture and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation unless declines in the values of the fixed assets are considered other than temporary, at which time the property is written down to net realizable value. Depreciation is principally computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the particular property or equipment, as follows: buildings and improvements, four to 40 years; furniture, fixtures and equipment, one to 18 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the life of the lease or the life of the improvement, whichever is shorter.
Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost of additions and improvements is capitalized and depreciated over the remaining useful lives of the assets. The cost and accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from our consolidated balance sheet, and any gain or loss is recognized in the year of disposal.
Real estate properties held for use or investment, other than those accounted for under the financing method, are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Where declines in the values of the properties are determined to be other than temporary, the cost basis of the property is written down to net realizable value. A property is classified as held for sale at the time management determines that the criteria in SFAS No. 144,

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, have been met. Properties held for sale are carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Such properties are no longer depreciated and their results of operations are included in discontinued operations. As a result of the reclassification of certain real estate to properties held for sale during fiscal 2006, income and expenses of such properties are reclassified to discontinued operations for all prior periods. If management determines that a property classified as held for sale no longer meets the criteria in SFAS No. 144, the property is reclassified as held for use.
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of trademarks of WPI (Note 4, “Operating Units — Home Fashion”). In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS No. 142”), goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortized, but instead tested for impairment.
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We evaluate our long-lived assets in accordance with the application of SFAS No. 144. Accordingly, we evaluate the realizability of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Inherent in the reviews of the carrying amounts of the above assets are various estimates, including the expected usage of the asset. Assets must be tested at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows exist. Future cash flow estimates are, by their nature, subjective and actual results may differ materially from our estimates. If our ongoing estimates of future cash flows are not met, we may have to record impairment charges in future accounting periods. Our estimates of cash flows are based on the current regulatory, social and economic climates, recent operating information and budgets of the operating properties.
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
Effective January 1, 2003, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (“SFAS No. 143”). SFAS No. 143 provides accounting requirements for costs associated with legal obligations to retire tangible, long-lived assets. Under SFAS No. 143, an asset retirement obligation is recorded at fair value in the period in which it is incurred by increasing the carrying amount for the related long-lived asset which is depreciated over its useful life. In each subsequent period, the liability is adjusted to reflect the passage of time and changes in the estimated future cash flows underlying the obligation. Our asset retirement obligations related to our oil and gas operating unit, which was sold to SandRidge in November 2006.
Allocation of Net Profits and Losses in Consolidated Affiliated Partnerships
Net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments of the Private Funds are allocated to both the respective general partner and the limited partners or shareholders of the Private Funds based on the ratio of their respective capital balances at the beginning of each allocation period to the total capital of all partners or shareholders of the Private Funds. Such allocations made to the limited partners or shareholders of the Private Funds are represented as non-controlling interests in our consolidated statements of operations. The beginning of an allocation period is defined as the beginning of each fiscal year, the date of admission of any new partner or shareholder of the Private Funds or the date of any additional subscription or redemption by a partner or shareholder of the Private Funds. Upon the allocation to partners based on their respective capital balances, generally 25% of the capital appreciation (both realized and unrealized) allocated to the Investment Funds’ limited partners or lesser amounts for certain limited partners are then reallocated to the Investment Funds' General Partners. Such reallocation is referred to as the General Partners' incentive allocation. The total profits and losses allocated to the respective General Partners of the Investment Funds are included in the net income of the consolidated Investment Management and GP Entities (as either the Onshore GP or Offshore GP act as general partner to the Investment Funds) and are allocated in a manner consistent with the manner in which capital is allocated to the partners of the Investment Management and GP Entities as further discussed below.

Partners' Capital of the Investment Management and GP Entities
The Investment Management and GP Entities are each organized as a limited partnership formed pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. Limited partnership interests have been granted in the Investment Management and GP Entities to allow certain employees and individuals to participate in a share of the management fees and incentive allocations earned by the Investment Management and GP Entities. Prior to the completion of our acquisition of the Partnership Interests on August 8, 2007, all limited partnership admissions to the Investment Management and GP Entities were determined by the respective general partner entity of the Investment Management and GP Entities, each of which was principally owned by Mr. Icahn.
The Investment Management and GP Entities, individually, intend to be treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes, and as such shall maintain a capital account for each of their partners. Each partner will be allocated an amount of the management fees and incentive allocations subject to, and as determined by, the provisions of each limited partner's respective agreements with each of the Investment Management and GP Entities. All other partnership profits and losses of each of the Investment Management and GP Entities will be allocated among the respective partners in each of the Investment Management and GP Entities pro rata in accordance with their respective capital accounts.
Income allocations to all partners in each of the Investment Management and GP Entities, except the general partner entity and any limited partnership interests held directly by Mr. Icahn are accounted for as compensation expense as more fully described in Note 13, “Compensation Arrangements.” All amounts allocated to these partners' capital accounts and their respective capital contributions are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets until those amounts are paid out in accordance with the terms of each respective partner's agreement. Payments made to the respective general partner and any limited partnership interests held by Mr. Icahn are treated as equity distributions.
Income Taxes
Except as described below, no provision has been made for federal, state or local income taxes on the results of operations generated by partnership activities, as such taxes are the responsibility of the partners. Provision has been made for federal, state or local income taxes on the results of operations generated by our corporate subsidiaries and these are reflected within continuing and discontinued operations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
Deferred tax assets are limited to amounts considered to be realizable in future periods. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe that we have met the “more likely than not” standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.
Icahn Management (and New Icahn Management subsequent to the acquisition on August 8, 2007) is subject to a New York City Unincorporated Business tax (“UBT”), at a statutory rate of 4% on a portion of its income. UBT is accounted for under SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes (“SFAS No. 109”). Icahn Management accounts for these taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.

Compensation Arrangements
In December 2004, SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004),Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”) was issued. This accounting standard eliminated the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. SFAS No. 123R requires public entities to record non-cash compensation expense related to payment for employee services by an equity award, such as stock options, in their financial statements over the requisite service period. We have adopted SFAS No. 123R as of June 30, 2005.
The Investment Management and GP Entities have entered into agreements with certain of their employees whereby these employees have been granted rights to participate in a portion of the management fees and incentive allocations earned by the Investment Management and GP Entities, net of certain expenses, and subject to various vesting provisions. These rights are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and remeasured at fair value each reporting period until settlement. See Note 13, “Compensation Arrangements,” for a further description of these arrangements.
Oil and Natural Gas Properties
In November 2006, we sold our oil and gas operating units to SandRidge. Therefore, as of December 31, 2006, we have no capitalized costs relating to these operations. Prior to such sale, we utilized the full cost method of accounting for our crude oil and natural gas properties. Under the full cost method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas reserves were capitalized and amortized on the units-of-production method based upon total proved reserves. The costs of unproven properties were excluded from the amortization calculation until the individual properties were evaluated and a determination made as to whether reserves existed. Conveyances of properties, including gains or losses on abandonment of properties, were treated as adjustments to the cost of crude oil and natural gas properties, with no gain or loss recognized. Under the full cost method, the net book value of oil and natural gas properties, less related deferred income taxes, may not exceed the estimated after-tax future net revenues from proved oil and natural gas properties, discounted at 10% per year (the ceiling limitation). In arriving at estimated future net revenues, estimated lease operating expenses, development costs, abandonment costs and certain production related and ad-valorem taxes were deducted. In calculating future net revenues, prices and costs in effect at the time of the calculation were held constant indefinitely, except for changes that were fixed and determinable by existing contracts. The net book value of oil and gas properties was compared to the ceiling limitation on a quarterly basis. We did not incur a ceiling write-down in fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 or fiscal 2004.
We had capitalized internal general and administrative costs of $1.5 million, $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the period from January 1, 2006 to November 21, 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively, with respect to our oil and gas activities. We have not capitalized interest expense.
Prior to the sale of our oil and natural gas properties, such properties were subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require us to remove or mitigate the environment effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefit are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a non-capital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated.

Revenue and Expense Recognition
Investment Management — The Investment Management and GP Entities generate income from amounts earned pursuant to contractual arrangements with the Private Funds. Such amounts typically include an annual management fee of 2.5% of the net asset value of certain Private Funds before a performance-based, or incentive allocation of 25% of capital appreciation (both realized and unrealized) earned by the Investment Funds subject to a “high water mark” (whereby the General Partners do not earn incentive allocations during a particular year even though the fund had a positive return in such year until losses in prior periods are recovered). Such amounts have been (and may in the future be) modified or waived in certain circumstances. The Investment Management and GP Entities and their affiliates may also earn income through their principal investments in the Private Funds.
At the end of each fiscal year of the Onshore Fund (or sooner upon the occurrence of withdrawals), 25% of the capital appreciation (based on realized and unrealized gains and losses), if any, that is allocated to each capital account of a fee-paying limited partner of the Onshore Fund (20% of the capital appreciation, if any, for certain limited partners) for such fiscal year is reallocated to the capital account of the Onshore GP subject to a loss carryforward provision as described in the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Onshore Fund, dated as of January 1, 2006, as amended from time to time, and, since February 1, 2007, the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement.
At the end of each fiscal year of Offshore Master Fund I and, at certain other times, 25% of the capital appreciation (based on realized and unrealized gains and losses), if any, that is allocated to each capital account of a fee-paying limited partner of Offshore Master Fund I (20% in some cases) for such fiscal year is reallocated to the capital account of the Offshore GP subject to a loss carryforward provision as described in the limited partnership agreement of Offshore Master Fund I in effect at such time.
Prior to the acquisition on August 8, 2007, Icahn Management recognized management fee income in the period in which the related services were performed and in accordance with certain management agreements with each of (i) the Onshore Fund; (ii) the Offshore Fund and (iii) from May 1, 2006 through October 1, 2006, the Sterling Fund (collectively, the “Management Agreements”).
The general partner incentive allocations earned from the Onshore Fund and Offshore Master Fund I are accrued on a quarterly basis in accordance with Method 2 of EITF Topic D-96,Accounting for Management Fees Based on a Formula (“EITF Topic D-96”) and are allocated to the Onshore GP and the Offshore GP, respectively, at the end of the Onshore Fund’s and Offshore Master Fund I’s fiscal year (or sooner on redemptions). Such accruals may be reversed as a result of subsequent investment performance prior to the conclusion of the Onshore Fund’s and Offshore Master Fund I’s fiscal year at December 31.
The incentive allocations earned by the Onshore GP and the Offshore GP from the Onshore Fund and Offshore Master Fund I, respectively, and the management fees earned by Icahn Management from consolidated Private Funds, are eliminated in consolidation; however, the Investment Management and GP Entities’ allocated share of the net income from the Private Funds includes the amount of these eliminated fees.
Home Fashion — WPI records revenue when the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the price to the customer is fixed and determinable and collectibility is reasonably assured. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, title and risk of loss pass from WPI to the customer when WPI delivers the merchandise to the designated point of delivery, to the designated point of destination or to the designated carrier, free on board. Provisions for certain rebates, sales incentives, product returns and discounts to customers are recorded in the same period the related revenue is recorded.
Customer incentives are provided to WPI customers primarily for new sales programs. These incentives begin to accrue when a commitment has been made to the customer and are recorded as a reduction to sales.

Gaming — As previously discussed, in November 2006, we divested our Atlantic City gaming properties. In addition, on April 22, 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of ACEP, which comprise all of our remaining gaming properties. As discussed above, the financial position and results of operations of our gaming operations are presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements.
Our former Gaming segment revenue consists of casino, hotel and restaurant revenues. We recognize revenues in accordance with industry practice. Casino revenue is the net win from gaming activities (the difference between gaming wins and losses). Casino revenues are net of accruals for anticipated payouts of progressive and certain other slot machine jackpots. Gross revenues include the estimated retail value of hotel rooms, food and beverage and other items that are provided to customers on a complimentary basis. A corresponding amount is deducted as promotional allowances. The costs of such complimentary revenues are included in gaming expenses. Hotel and restaurant revenue is recognized when services are performed.
We also reward our customers, through the use of loyalty programs with points based on amounts wagered, that can be redeemed for a specified period of time for cash. We deduct the cash incentive amounts from casino revenue.
Oil and Gas — As previously discussed, in November 2006, we divested our Oil and Gas business. Prior to that time, revenues from the natural gas and oil produced were recognized upon the passage of title, net of royalties. We accounted for natural gas production imbalances using the sales method, whereby we recognized revenue on all natural gas sold to our customers notwithstanding the fact its ownership may have been less than 100% of the natural gas sold. Liabilities were recorded by us for imbalances greater than our proportionate share of remaining natural gas reserves. We had $1.1 million in gas balancing liabilities as of December 31, 2005 and no gas balancing liabilities as of December 31, 2006.
Revenues from the sale of oil and natural gas are shown net of the impact of realized and unrealized derivative losses. The financial position and results of operations of our Oil and Gas business are presented as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements.
Real Estate — Revenue from real estate sales and related costs are recognized at the time of closing primarily by specific identification. We follow the guidelines for profit recognition set forth by SFAS No. 66,Accounting for Sales of Real Estate.
Substantially all of the property comprising our net lease portfolio is leased to others under long-term net leases and we account for these leases in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 13,Accounting for Leases, as amended. This statement sets forth specific criteria for determining whether a lease is to be accounted for as a financing lease or an operating lease. Under the financing method, minimum lease payments to be received plus the estimated value of the property at the end of the lease are considered the gross investment in the lease. Unearned income, representing the difference between gross investment and actual cost of the leased property, is amortized to income over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the net investment in the lease. Under the operating method, revenue is recognized as rentals become due, and expenses (including depreciation) are charged to operations as incurred.
General Partnership Interest of Icahn Enterprises Holdings
The general partner’s capital account generally consists of its cumulative share of our net income less cash distributions plus capital contributions. Additionally, in acquisitions of common control companies accounted for at historical cost similar to a pooling of interests, the general partner’s capital account would be charged or credited in a manner similar to a distribution for the excess (or deficit) of the fair value of consideration paid over historical basis in the business acquired.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
Capital Accounts, as defined under our Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated as of May 12, 1987, as amended from time to time (together with the partnership agreement of IEH, the “Partnership Agreement”), are maintained for our general partner and our limited partners. The capital account provisions of our Partnership Agreement incorporate principles established for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are not comparable to the equity accounts reflected under U.S. GAAP, in our consolidated financial statements. Under our Partnership Agreement, the general partner is required to make additional capital contributions to us upon the issuance of any additional depositary units in order to maintain a capital account balance equal to 1.0% of the total capital accounts of all partners.
Generally, net earnings for U.S. federal income tax purposes are allocated 1.0% and 99.0% between the general partner and the limited partners, respectively, in the same proportion as aggregate cash distributions made to the general partner and the limited partners during the period. This is generally consistent with the manner of allocating net income under our Partnership Agreement; however, it is not comparable to the allocation of net income reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, as discussed below, we elected to change the allocation of gains or losses on disposition of common control acquisitions accounted for as a pooling of interests.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, in the event of our dissolution, after satisfying our liabilities, our remaining assets would be divided among our limited partners and the general partner in accordance with their respective percentage interests under the Partnership Agreement (i.e., 99.0% to the limited partners and 1.0% to the general partner). If a deficit balance still remains in the general partner's capital account after all allocations are made between the partners, the general partner would not be required to make whole any such deficit.
Change in Accounting Principle — Method of Allocating Gains and Losses Related to Dispositions of Common Control Acquisitions
In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, we elected to change our method of allocating gains and losses for financial reporting purposes related to dispositions of common control entities accounted for on an as-if pooling basis when acquired. Both the historical method and the new method are acceptable alternative principles under U.S. GAAP. The new method of allocating gains and losses from dispositions to third parties of common control acquisitions for financial reporting purposes would not affect the amounts distributable to the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests under the Partnership Agreement (i.e., 99.0% to the limited partners and 1.0% to the general partner). This change in accounting principle was applied retrospectively in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3(“SFAS No. 154”).
When we acquire an entity under common control, we will continue to reflect the acquired entity in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, as we have in the past. We will also continue to charge or credit the general partner's capital account with the difference between the consideration we pay for the entity and the predecessor basis prior to our acquisition.
Historically, upon later sale of the entity to a third party, the entire gain or loss was allocated between the general partner and the limited partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests under the Partnership Agreement (i.e., 99.0% to the limited partners and 1.0% to the general partner).
The newly adopted accounting principle only affects transactions involving the sale of a previously acquired common control entity. The newly adopted accounting principle allocates gain or loss for financial reporting purposes by first restoring the general partner's capital account for the cumulative charges or credit relating to prior periods recorded at the time of our acquisition and then allocating the remaining gain or loss among the general and limited partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests under the Partnership Agreement (i.e., 99.0% to the limited partners and 1.0% to the general partner).

The impact of this change in accounting principle only affects the financial statements for fiscal 2006, related to the gains on sale of our former Oil and Gas segment as well as the Atlantic City operations from our former Gaming segment which occurred in the quarter ended December 31, 2006, or the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The following information details the financial statement line items for fiscal 2006 that were affected by the change in accounting principle, which includes amounts from the common control acquisition of the Partnership Interests made on August 8, 2007 as more fully described in Note 1, “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation,” and Note 3, “Acquisitions.” Net earnings attributable to limited partners decreased from $789.0 million to $514.5 million while net earnings attributable to the general partner increased from $275.6 million to $550.1 million. Total net earnings did not change. In addition, partners' equity attributed to the limited partners decreased from $2.4 billion to $2.1 billion and partners' equity attributed to the general partner increased from $405.2 million to $679.7 million. Total partners' equity, which is 99.0% attributable to the limited partners pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, did not change.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS No. 155. On February 16, 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments — an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140(“SFAS No. 155”). The statement amends Statement No. 133 to permit fair value measurement for certain hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative, provides additional guidance on the applicability of SFAS No.133 and 140 to certain financial instruments and subordinated concentrations of credit risk. The new standard is effective for the first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 as of January 1, 2007 did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.
EITF 06-3. In June 2006, the EITF issued EITF Issue 06-3,How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation) (“EITF 06-3”) to clarify diversity in practice on the presentation of different types of taxes in the financial statements. EITF 06-3 concluded that, for taxes within the scope of the issue, a company may adopt a policy of presenting taxes either gross within revenue or net. That is, it may include charges to customers for taxes within revenues and the charge for the taxes from the taxing authority within cost of sales, or, alternatively, it may net the charge to the customer and the charge from the taxing authority. If taxes are reported on a gross basis, and are significant, an entity should disclose the amounts of those taxes subject to EITF 06-3. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. We present sales tax on a net basis in our consolidated financial statements, and the adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
FIN 48. In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. FIN 48 provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening partners’ equity. We adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 16, “Income Taxes,” for additional information.
SAB 108. In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,

(“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on how to evaluate prior period financial statement misstatements for purposes of assessing their materiality in the current period. If the prior period effect is material to the current period, then the prior period is required to be corrected. Correcting prior year financial statements would not require an amendment of prior year financial statements, but such corrections would be made the next time the company files the prior year financial statements. Upon adoption, SAB 108 allows a one-time transitional cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings for corrections of prior period misstatements required under this statement. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material affect on our consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 157. In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157,Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and, accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. We adopted SFAS No.157 as of January 1, 2007, in conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 159, as required. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have any material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 159. In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”) which gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value (i.e., the fair value option), on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability or upon entering into a firm commitment. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. Additionally, SFAS No. 159 allows for a one-time election for existing positions upon adoption, with the transition adjustment recorded to beginning partners’ equity.
We adopted SFAS No. 159 as of January 1, 2007 and elected to apply the fair value option to our investment in ImClone Systems Incorporated (“ImClone”). It is our policy to apply the fair value option to all of our investments that would be subject to the equity method of accounting pursuant to APB 18. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, we first applied the equity method of accounting to our investment in ImClone due to changes in ImClone’s board, resulting in our having the ability to exercise significant influence over ImClone. We believe that the quality of the earnings and the value of the investment that we report over time relating to our investment in ImClone are more accurately reflected by the market value methodology of SFAS No. 159 rather than the equity method of accounting. The equity method of accounting would require an appraisal of the fair values of ImClone’s assets and liabilities at the dates that we acquired shares of common stock of ImClone as well as future appraisals should there be any material indications of impairment. We believe that such an appraisal would be subjective given the nature of ImClone’s pharmaceutical operations.
As of the date of adoption, the carrying value of our investment in ImClone was approximately $164.3 million and the fair value of our investment was approximately $122.2 million. In accordance with the transition requirements of SFAS No. 159, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning partners’ equity for the difference between the fair value and carrying value on the date of adoption, which reduced partners’ equity by approximately $42.2 million.
As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 159, we are required to record unrealized gains or losses for the change in fair value of our investment in ImClone. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded approximately $27.2 million and $66.5 million of unrealized gains, respectively, resulting from the change in the market value of ImClone’s stock which is recorded as a component of other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
As described below in our discussion of the impact of our early adoption of SOP 07-1, we also elected the fair value option for the investments in debt and equity securities held by our consolidated Private Funds.
SOP 07-1. In June 2007, Statement of Position No. 07-1,Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide — Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies (“SOP 07-1”), was issued. SOP 07-1 addresses whether the accounting principles of the AICPA Guide may be applied to an entity by clarifying the definition of an investment company and whether those accounting principles may be retained by a parent company in consolidation or by an investor in the application of the equity method of accounting. SOP 07-1 applies to reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2007, although early application is permitted. The Investment Management and GP Entities adopted SOP 07-1 as of January 1, 2007.
Upon the adoption of SOP 07-1, the Offshore GP lost its ability to retain specialized accounting pursuant to the AICPA Guide for either its equity method investment in the Offshore Master Funds or for its consolidation of the Offshore Fund, and the Onshore GP lost its ability to retain specialized accounting for its consolidation of the Onshore Fund. Both the Offshore GP and the Onshore GP do not meet the requirements for retention of specialized accounting under SOP 07-1, since the General Partners and their affiliates acquire interests for strategic operating purposes in the same companies in which their subsidiary investment companies invest.
However, upon losing their ability to retain specialized accounting, the Investment Management and GP Entities applied SFAS No. 115,Accounting for Investments in Debt and Equity Securities(“SFAS No. 115”), to their investments held by the consolidated Private Funds in debt securities and in those equity securities with readily determinable fair values, as defined by that Statement, and classified such investments as available-for-sale securities and elected the fair value option pursuant to SFAS No. 159. For those equity securities that fall outside the scope of SFAS No. 115 because they do not have readily determinable fair values as defined by that Statement, the Investment Management and GP entities elected the fair value option pursuant to SFAS No. 159 and measured the fair value of such securities in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 157. For those investments in which the Investment Management and GP Entities would otherwise account for such investments under the equity method, the Investment Management and GP Entities, in accordance with their acccounting policy, elected the fair value option pursuant to SFAS No. 159 for all such investments.
The election of the fair value option pursuant to SFAS No. 159 was deemed to most accurately reflect the nature of our business relating to investments. Derivative contracts entered into by the consolidated Private Funds continue to be accounted for pursuant to SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(“SFAS No. 133”), which was amended by SFAS No. 138,Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities(“SFAS No. 138”). These pronouncements require recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at their fair value. All changes in the fair values of derivatives held by the consolidated Private Funds are reported in earnings.
FSP FIN 39-1. On April 30, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FIN 39-1 (“FSP FIN 39-1”), which amends FASB Interpretation No. 39,Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts (FIN 39). FSP FIN 39-1 impacts entities that enter into master netting arrangements as part of their derivative transactions by allowing net derivative positions to be offset in the financial statements against the fair value of amounts (or amounts that approximate fair value) recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral under those arrangements. FSP FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, although early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, of the adoption of FSP FIN 39-1 on our consolidated financial statements.

FSP FIN 46(R)-7. In May 2007, the staff of the FASB issued FASB Staff Position on FIN 46(R)-7,Application of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) to Investment Companies (“FSP FIN 46(R)-7”). The staff position amends FIN 46R to indicate that investments accounted for at fair value in accordance with SOP 07-1 are not subject to consolidation under FIN 46R. The adoption of FSP FIN 46(R)-7 will require the Investment Management and GP Entities to apply consolidation provisions of FIN 46R to their consolidated entities that previously fell within the scope of the AICPA Guide. The adoption of FSP FIN 46(R)-7 will not have any material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
3. Acquisitions
a. Acquisition of Partnership Interests
On August 8, 2007, we acquired the general partnership interests in the General Partners and New Icahn Management. These entities provide investment advisory and certain management services to the Private Funds but do not provide such services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. Interests in the Private Funds are offered only to certain sophisticated and accredited investors on the basis of exemptions from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws and are not publicly available.
We entered into the Contribution Agreement with the Contributors and Carl C. Icahn. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, we acquired general partnership interests in the General Partners, acting as general partners of the Onshore Fund and the Offshore Master Funds managed and controlled by Mr. Icahn.
The Offshore GP also acts as general partner of certain funds formed as Cayman Islands exempted limited partnerships that invest in the Offshore Master Funds. These funds, together with other funds that also invest in the Offshore Master Funds, constitute the Feeder Funds and, together with the Investment Funds, are referred to herein as the Private Funds. We also acquired the general partnership interests in New Icahn Management, a Delaware limited partnership, which is a newly formed management company that provides certain management and administrative services to the Private Funds.
The total initial consideration paid for the acquisition was $810 million of depositary units of Icahn Enterprises based on the volume-weighted average price of the depositary units of Icahn Enterprises on the NYSE for the 20-trading-day period ending on August 7, 2007 (the day before the closing). In addition, we have agreed to make certain earn-out payments to the Contributors over a five-year period payable in additional depositary units based on our after-tax earnings from the General Partners and New Icahn Management subsequent to the acquisition, which includes both management fees and performance-based or incentive allocations paid by the Private Funds to New Icahn Management and the General Partners. There is a potential maximum aggregate earn-out (including any catch-up) of $1.121 billion of the depositary units of Icahn Enterprises, which is subject to achieving total after-tax earnings during the five-year period of at least $3.906 billion.
Prior to the acquisition of the Partnership Interests on August 8, 2007, CCI Offshore was the general partner of the Offshore GP, which, in turn, is the general partner of the Offshore Master Funds, each of which is a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership. Offshore Master Fund I commenced investment operations on November 1, 2004 and each of Offshore Master Fund II and Offshore Master Fund III commenced operations in fiscal 2007. In addition, CCI Onshore was the general partner of the Onshore GP, which, in turn, is the general partner of the Onshore Fund, which is a Delaware limited partnership that commenced investment operations on November 1, 2004.
CCI Offshore contributed to us 100% of CCI Offshore’s general partnership interests in the Offshore GP (the “Offshore Partnership Interests”) and CCI Onshore contributed to us 100% of CCI Onshore’s general partnership interests in the Onshore GP (the “Onshore Partnership Interests”). The General Partners’ capital account with respect to the Offshore Partnership Interests and the Onshore Partnership Interests at the time of our acquisition aggregated $10 million.

3. Acquisitions – (continued)
Immediately prior to the execution and delivery of the Contribution Agreement, Icahn Management and New Icahn Management entered into an agreement pursuant to which Icahn Management contributed substantially all of its assets and liabilities, other than certain rights in respect of deferred management fees, to New Icahn Management in exchange for 100% of the general partnership interests in New Icahn Management. Such contribution included the assignment of certain management agreements with the Private Funds. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Icahn Management contributed to us 100% of Icahn Management’s general partnership interests in New Icahn Management (the “New Icahn Management Partnership Interests” and, together with the Onshore Partnership Interests and the Offshore Partnership Interests, referred to herein as the “Partnership Interests”).
Prior to the formation of New Icahn Management, Icahn Management provided management and administrative services to the Private Funds. New Icahn Management currently provides management and administrative services to the Private Funds.
The consolidated Private Funds and the Investment Management and GP Entities are considered entities under common control with us. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements and footnotes include the net assets and results of operations of the consolidated Private Funds and the Investment Management and GP Entities during the period of common control, commencing November 1, 2004. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” for a discussion on principles of consolidation.
b. Acquisition of WPI
On August 8, 2005, we acquired 13.2 million, or 67.7%, of the 19.5 million outstanding common shares of WPI. In consideration for the shares, we paid $219.9 million in cash and received the balance in respect of a portion of the debt of WPS owned by us. Pursuant to the asset purchase agreement between WPI and WPS, rights to subscribe for an additional 10.5 million shares of common stock at a price of $8.772 per share, or the rights offering, were allocated among former creditors of WPS. Under the asset purchase agreement and the bankruptcy court order approving the sale, we would have received rights to subscribe for 2.5 million of such shares and we agreed to purchase up to an additional 8.0 million shares of common stock to the extent that any rights were not exercised by the holders of such rights. Accordingly, upon completion of the rights offering and depending upon the extent to which the other holders exercise certain subscription rights, we would beneficially own between 15.7 million and 23.7 million shares of WPI common stock representing between 52.3% and 79.0% of the 30.0 million shares that would then be outstanding.
The foregoing description assumes that the subscription rights are allocated and exercised in the manner set forth in the asset purchase agreement and the sale order. However, certain of the first lien creditors of WPS appealed portions of the bankruptcy court’s ruling. In connection with that appeal, the subscription rights distributed to the second lien lenders at closing were placed in escrow. Additionally, the first lien creditors and Beal Bank, S.S.B have filed a complaint in Delaware seeking among other relief, an order to “unwind” the issuance of the preferred stock or, alternatively, directing that such stock be held in escrow. We are vigorously contesting the Delaware action and any changes to the sale order. As a result of the bankruptcy proceedings and the Delaware proceedings, we may own less than a majority of WPI’s shares of common stock and our ownership of the preferred stock may also be affected. If we were to lose control of WPI, it could adversely affect WPI’s business and the value of our investment.
On December 20, 2006, we acquired (1) 1,000,000 shares of Series A-1 Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $100 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million, and (2) 1,000,000 shares of Series A-2 Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $100.0 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million. Each of the Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock have a 4.50% annual dividend rate which is paid quarterly. For the first two years after issuance, the dividends are paid in the form of additional preferred stock. Thereafter, the dividends are to be paid in either cash or in additional preferred stock at the option of WPI. Each of Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock is convertible into

3. Acquisitions – (continued)
common shares of WPI at a rate of $10.50 per share, subject to certain anti-dilution provisions. Assuming full conversion of both series of preferred stock into common shares, prior to completion of the rights offering, we would have owned, as of December 31, 2006, 32.2 million shares, representing 83.7% of the 38.5 million shares that would then have been outstanding. Assuming the rights offering were to have been completed as of December 31, 2006, we would have owned between 32.7 million shares, or 69.5% and 34.0 million shares, or 84.4% of the 47.0 million shares or 40.3 million shares of WPI common stock, respectively, that would be outstanding depending upon the extent to which the other shareholders exercised their subscription rights.
We consolidated the operating results and balance sheets of WPI as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the period commencing August 8, 2005 (acquisition) through December 31, 2006. If we were to own less than 50% of the outstanding common stock and lose control of WPI, we no longer would consolidate it and our financial statements could be materially different than those presented as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and for the periods then ended.
The aggregate consideration paid for the acquisition was as follows (in $000s):
 | |  |
Book value of first and second lien debt | | $ | 205,850 | |
Cash purchase of additional equity | | | 187,000 | |
Exercise of rights | | | 32,881 | |
Transaction costs | | | 2,070 | |
| | $ | 427,801 | |
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed on August 8, 2005. The purchase price allocations are based on estimated fair values as determined by independent appraisers (in $000s):
 | |  | |  | |  |
| | August 8, 2005 Fair Value | | Excess Fair Value Over Cost | | Basis August 8, 2005 |
Property and equipment | | $ | 294,360 | | | $ | (98,399 | ) | | $ | 195,961 | |

Other assets | | | 588,000 | | | | — | | | | 588,000 | |
Assets acquired | | | 918,060 | | | | (110,697 | ) | | | 807,363 | |
Liabilities assumed | | | 122,407 | | | | — | | | | 122,407 | |
Net assets acquired | | $ | 795,653 | | | $ | (110,697 | ) | | | 684,956 | |
Minority interest at acquisition | | | | | | | | | | | (257,155 | ) |
| | | | | | | | | | $ | 427,801 | |
The amount allocated to intangible assets was attributed to trademarks, which have been determined to have an indefinite life.
Our basis in WPI is less than our share of the equity in WPI by $110.7 million as of August 8, 2005. The excess of fair value over cost of net assets acquired has been reflected as a reduction of long-lived assets in our consolidated balance sheet. Fixed assets were reduced by $98.4 million and intangible assets were reduced by $12.3 million. As a result, the financial statements of WPI presented herein could be materially different from the results reflected in the books and records of WPI.

The following table summarizes unaudited pro forma financial information assuming the acquisition of WPI had occurred on January 1, 2004. This unaudited pro forma financial information does not necessarily represent what would have occurred if the transaction had taken place on the dates presented and should not be taken as representative of our future consolidated results of operations or financial position.

The pro forma adjustments relate, principally, to the elimination of interest expense, bankruptcy expense and other expenses at WPI, a reduction in interest income of Icahn Enterprises and adjustments to reflect Icahn Enterprises’ depreciation expense based on values assigned in applying purchase accounting. WPI balances included in the pro forma table for the twelve months ended December 31, 2004 are derived from the audited financial statements of WPI for that period. Unaudited WPI balances included in the pro forma table for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 are for the period from January 1, 2005 to August 7, 2005. Data for the period from August 8, 2005, the acquisition date, to December 31, 2005 are included in Icahn Enterprises’ results.
As discussed in Note 17, “Commitments and Contingencies,” legal proceedings with respect to the acquisition are ongoing.
4. Operating Units
Through the second quarter of 2006, we conducted our continuing operating businesses in four principal areas: Oil and Gas, Gaming, Real Estate and Home Fashion. As described herein, in November 2006, we sold our Oil and Gas operations. In addition, on April 22, 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell our remaining Gaming operations. As a result, our Oil and Gas and Gaming businesses are now classified as discontinued operations and thus are not considered part of our continuing operations. As discussed herein, on August 8, 2007, we acquired the Partnership Interests. We now conduct our operating businesses in three principal areas: Investment Management, Real Estate and Home Fashion.
a. Investment Management
The Investment Management and GP Entities provide investment advisory and certain management services to the Private Funds, but do not provide such services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. Interests in the Private Funds are offered only to certain sophisticated and accredited investors on the basis of exemptions from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws and are not publicly available. The Investment Management and GP Entities generally receive management fees and incentive allocations from the Private Funds. Management fees are generally 2.5% of the net asset value of certain Private Funds. Incentive allocations, which are primarily earned on an annual basis, are generally 25% of the net profits

The management fees earned by Icahn Management (and by New Icahn Management subsequent to the acquisition on August 8, 2007) are calculated based on the net asset values of certain Private Funds and are accrued quarterly.

Rental Real Estate
As of December 31, 2006, we owned 37 rental real estate properties. These primarily consist of fee and leasehold interests in real estate in 19 states. Most of these properties are net-leased to single corporate tenants. Approximately 89% of these properties are currently net-leased, 3% are operating properties and 8% are vacant.
Property Development and Associated Resort Activities
Our property development operations are run primarily through Bayswater, a real estate investment, management and development subsidiary that focuses primarily on the construction and sale of single-family houses, multi-family homes, lots in subdivisions and planned communities and raw land for residential development. Our New Seabury development property in Cape Cod, Massachusetts and our Grand Harbor and Oak Harbor development property in Vero Beach, Florida each include land for future residential development of more than 400 and 1,000 units of residential housing, respectively. Both developments operate golf and resort activities as well. We are also developing residential communities in Naples, Florida and Westchester County, New York.

c. Home Fashion
Operations
We conduct our Home Fashion operations through our majority ownership in WPI, a manufacturer and distributor of home fashion consumer products. WPI is engaged in the business of manufacturing, sourcing, marketing and distributing bed and bath home fashion products including, among others, sheets, pillowcases, comforters, blankets, bedspreads, pillows, mattress pads, towels and related products. WPI recognizes revenue primarily through the sale of home fashion products to a variety of retail and institutional customers. In addition, WPI receives a small portion of its revenues through the licensing of its trademarks. On October 18, 2007, WPI entered into an agreement to sell the inventory at substantially all of its 30 retail outlet stores. Therefore, the portion of the business related to the stores’ retail operations has been classified for all years presented as discontinued operations.
The following are summary balance sheets for our Home Fashion operating segment as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 as included in the consolidated balance sheets (in $000s):

A relatively small number of customers have historically accounted for a significant portion of WPI’s net revenue. For fiscal 2006 and for the period commencing August 8, 2005 (acquisition) to December 31, 2005, sales to six customers amounted to approximately 49.9% of net revenues. One customer accounted for 15% or more of WPI’s net revenue in both periods.

The following is a breakdown of depreciation expense for the periods indicated in ($000s):

Depreciation expense included in cost of sales | | $ | 25,484 | | | $ | 16,041 | |
Depreciation expense included in selling, general and administrative expenses | | | 5,240 | | | | 2,940 | |
Total depreciation expense | | $ | 30,724 | | | $ | 18,981 | |
Total expenses for fiscal 2006 included $33.3 million of impairment charges related to the fixed assets of plants that have been or will be closed and $12.3 million of restructuring charges (of which approximately $3.4 million relates to severance and $8.9 million relates to continuing costs of closed plants).
Impairment and restructuring charges for fiscal 2006 are included in Home Fashion operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
To improve WPI’s competitive position, we intend to continue to restructure its operations to significantly reduce its cost of goods sold by closing certain plants located in the United States, sourcing goods from lower cost overseas facilities, and acquiring overseas manufacturing facilities. We have incurred impairment charges to write-down the value of WPI plants taken out of service to their estimated liquidation value. As of December 31, 2006, approximately $139.5 million of WPI’s assets are located outside of the United States, primarily in Bahrain.
Included in restructuring expenses are cash charges associated with the ongoing costs of closed plants, employee severance, benefits and related costs. The amount of accrued restructuring costs at December 31, 2005 was $0.1 million. During fiscal 2006, we incurred additional restructuring costs of $12.3 million, of which $11.2 million was paid during the period. As of December 31, 2006, the accrued liability balance was $1.2 million which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our consolidated balance sheet.
Total cumulative impairment and restructuring charges for the period from August 8, 2005 (acquisition), through December 31, 2006 were $47.3 million.
We expect that restructuring charges will continue to be incurred throughout fiscal 2007. As of December 31, 2006, WPI expects to incur additional restructuring costs and impairment charges for fiscal 2007 relating to the current restructuring plan of between $25.0 million and $30.0 million. Restructuring costs could be affected by, among other things, our decision to accelerate or delay restructuring efforts. As a result, actual costs incurred could vary materially from these amounts.

Gaming Operations
On May 19, 2006, our wholly owned subsidiaries, AREP Laughlin and AREP Boardwalk Properties, completed the purchases of the Aquarius and the Traymore site, respectively, from affiliates of Harrah’s. The transactions were completed pursuant to an asset purchase agreement, dated as of November 28, 2005, between AREP Laughlin, AREP Boardwalk LLC, Harrah’s and certain affiliates of Harrah’s. Under the agreement, AREP Laughlin acquired the Aquarius, and AREP Boardwalk Properties, an assignee of AREP Boardwalk LLC, acquired the Traymore site for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $170 million (excluding transaction costs and working capital of approximately $5.7 million).
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the net assets acquired on May 19, 2006 (in $000s):
 | |  | |  | |  |
| | May 19, 2006 Fair Value |
| | Aquarius | | Traymore Site | | Total |
Land | | $ | 13,000 | | | $ | 61,651 | | | $ | 74,651 | |
Building and equipment | | | 95,336 | | | | — | | | | 95,336 | |

Net assets acquired | | $ | 113,573 | | | $ | 61,651 | | | $ | 175,224 | |
The purchase price allocations for the Aquarius are based on estimated fair values as determined by independent appraisers. If the acquisitions of the Aquarius and the Traymore site had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2006, our consolidated unaudited pro forma net revenue, net income and diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2006 would not have been materially different than the amounts we reported and, therefore, pro forma results are not presented.
The results of operations of the Aquarius from May 19, 2006 to December 31, 2006 are included in our consolidated results of discontinued operations for fiscal 2006.
On November 17, 2006, Atlantic Coast, ACE, IEH and certain other entities owned by or affiliated with IEH completed the sale to Pinnacle of the outstanding membership interests in ACE and 100% of the equity interests in certain subsidiaries of IEH which own parcels of real estate adjacent to The Sands, including 7.7 acres of land known as the Traymore site. We own, through subsidiaries, approximately 67.6% of Atlantic Coast, which owned 100% of ACE. The aggregate price was approximately $274.8 million, of which approximately $200.6 million was paid to Atlantic Coast and approximately $74.2 million was paid to affiliates of IEH for subsidiaries which own the Traymore site and the adjacent properties. $51.8 million of the purchase price paid to Atlantic Coast was deposited into escrow to fund indemnification obligations, of which $50.0 million related to claims of creditors and stockholders of GB Holdings Inc. (“GBH”), a holder of stock in Atlantic Coast. On February 22, 2007, we resolved all outstanding litigation involving GBH, resulting in a release of all claims against us. As a result of the settlement, our ownership of Atlantic Coast increased from 67.6% to 96.9% and $50.0 million of the amount placed into escrow was released to us. See Note 18, “Subsequent Events” for further information.
On April 22, 2007, AEP, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Icahn Enterprises Holdings, entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with W2007/ACEP Holdings, LLC, an affiliate of Whitehall Street Real Estate Funds, a series of real estate investment funds affiliated with Goldman, Sachs & Co., to sell all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of ACEP, which comprise our gaming operations, for $1.3 billion, plus or minus certain adjustments such as working capital, more fully described in the agreement.

Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, AEP is required to cause ACEP to repay from funds provided by AEP, the principal, interest, prepayment penalty or premium due on ACEP’s 7.85% senior secured notes due 2012 and ACEP’s senior secured credit facility. With this transaction, we anticipate realizing a gain of approximately $554.0 million on our investments in ACEP, after income taxes. ACEP’s casino assets are comprised of the Stratosphere Casino Hotel & Tower, the Arizona Charlie’s Decatur, the Arizona Charlie’s Boulder and the Aquarius Casino Resort. The transaction is subject to the approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission and the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, as well as customary conditions. The parties expect to close the transaction by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2008; however, we cannot assure you that we will be able to consummate the transaction.
GBH Impairment
On September 29, 2005, GBH filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As a result of this filing, we determined that we no longer control GBH and have deconsolidated our investment effective the date of the bankruptcy filing. As a result of GBH’s bankruptcy, we recorded impairment charges of $52.4 million related to the write-off of the remaining carrying amount of our investment ($6.7 million) and also to reflect a dilution in our effective ownership percentage of Atlantic Coast, 41.7% of which is owned directly by GBH ($45.7 million).
For fiscal 2004, we recorded an impairment loss of $15.6 million on our equity investment in GBH. The purchase price pursuant to an agreement to purchase additional shares of GBH in fiscal 2005 indicated that the fair value of our investment was less than our carrying value. An impairment charge was recorded to reduce the carrying value to the value implicit in the purchase agreement.
We recorded $34.5 million of income tax benefits in the third quarter of 2006 as a result of the reversal of deferred tax valuation allowances for our Oil and Gas and Atlantic City gaming operations. See Note 16, “Income Taxes,” for further information.
Oil and Gas Operations
On November 21, 2006, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, AREP O & G Holdings, consummated the sale of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of NEG Oil & Gas to SandRidge, for consideration consisting of $1.025 billion in cash, 12,842,000 shares of SandRidge’s common stock, valued, at the date of closing, at $18 per share, and the repayment by SandRidge of $300.0 million of debt of NEG Oil & Gas. On April 4, 2007, we sold our entire position in SandRidge for cash consideration of approximately $243.2 million.
SandRidge is a working interest owner and the operator of a majority of the Longfellow Ranch area oil and gas properties. The interest in Longfellow Ranch was the single largest oil and gas property owned by NEG Oil & Gas.
On November 21, 2006, pursuant to an agreement dated October 25, 2006 among IEH, NEG Oil & Gas and NEGI, NEGI sold its membership interest in NEG Holding to NEG Oil & Gas for consideration of approximately $261.1 million. Of that amount, $149.6 million was used to repay the principal of and accrued interest with respect to the NEGI 10.75% senior notes due 2007, all of which was held by us.
Real Estate
Certain of our real estate properties are classified as discontinued operations. The properties classified as discontinued operations have changed during fiscal 2006 and, accordingly, certain amounts in the accompanying fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current classification of properties. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2007, five properties of our real estate segment were reclassified to discontinued operations.

Home Fashion
We intend to close substantially all of WPI’s retail stores based on a comprehensive evaluation of the stores’ long-term growth prospects and their on-going value to the business. On October 18, 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell the inventory at substantially all of WPI’s retail stores. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, we have reported the retail outlet stores business as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
GBH Impairment
On September 29, 2005, GBH filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As a result of this filing, we determined that we no longer control GBH and have deconsolidated our investment effective the date of the bankruptcy filing.

Reserve Information (Unaudited)
The accompanying tables present information concerning our oil and natural gas-producing activities during the period from January 1, 2006 to November 21, 2006 and the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and are prepared in accordance with SFAS No. 69,Disclosures about Oil and Gas Producing Activities.
Estimates of our proved reserves and proved developed reserves were prepared by independent firms of petroleum engineers, based on data supplied to them by NEG Oil & Gas. Estimates relating to oil and gas reserves are inherently imprecise and may be subject to substantial revisions due to changing prices and new information, such as reservoir performance, production data, additional drilling and other factors, becomes available.
Proved reserves are estimated quantities of oil, natural gas, condensate and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Natural gas liquids and condensate are included in oil reserves. Proved developed reserves are those proved reserves that can be expected to be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods. Proved undeveloped reserves include those reserves expected to be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage or existing wells on which a relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Natural gas quantities represent gas volumes which include amounts that will be extracted as natural gas liquids. Our estimated net proved reserves and proved developed reserves of oil and condensate and natural gas for the period from January 1, 2006 to November 21, 2006 and the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 were as follows:

Asset Retirement Obligations — Oil and Gas
Our asset retirement obligations represent expected future costs to plug and abandon our wells, dismantle facilities and reclamate sites at the end of the related assets’ useful lives.
As of December 31, 2005, we had $24.3 million held in various escrow accounts relating to the asset retirement obligations for certain offshore properties. The escrow accounts and the asset retirement obligations were transferred to the purchaser in connection with the sale of our Oil and Gas business.

Derivative Contracts
We recorded derivative contracts within our former Oil and Gas segment as assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at fair value. As of December 31, 2005, these derivatives were recorded as a liability of discontinued operations held for sale of $85.0 million. We have elected not to designate any of these instruments as hedges for accounting purposes and, accordingly, both realized and unrealized gains and losses are included in the oil and gas revenues for discontinued operations. Our realized and unrealized losses on our derivative contracts for the periods indicated were as follows (in $000s):

6. Related Party Transactions
We have entered into several transactions with entities affiliated with Carl C. Icahn. The transactions include purchases by us of businesses and business interests, including debt, of the affiliated entities. Additionally, other transactions have occurred as described below.
All related party transactions are reviewed and approved by our Audit Committee. Where appropriate, our Audit Committee will obtain independent financial advice and legal counsel on the transactions.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, assets transferred between entities under common control are accounted for at historical cost similar to a pooling of interests, and the financial statements of previously separate companies for periods prior to the acquisition are restated on a consolidated basis. Additionally, prior to the acquisition, the earnings, losses, capital contributions and distributions of the acquired entities are allocated to the general partner as an adjustment to equity, and the consideration is shown as a reduction to the general partner’s capital account.

a. Investment Management
On August 8, 2007, in a related party transaction, we acquired the general partnership interests in the General Partners, acting as general partners of the Onshore Fund and the Offshore Master Funds managed and controlled by Carl C. Icahn, and the general partnership interests in New Icahn Management, the newly formed management company that provides certain management and administrative services to the Private Funds. The Offshore GP also acts as general partner of certain funds formed as Cayman Islands exempted limited partnerships that invest in the Offshore Master Funds and that, together with other funds that also invest in the Offshore Master Funds, constitute the Feeder Funds. See Note 3, “Acquisitions — Acquisition of Partnership Interests” for further discussion of the acquisition.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, assets transferred between entities under common control are accounted for at historical cost similar to a pooling of interests, and the financial statements of previously separate companies for periods prior to the acquisition are restated on a consolidated basis. Additionally, prior to acquisition, the earnings, losses, capital contributions and distributions of the acquired entities are allocated to the general partner as an adjustment to equity, and the consideration paid is shown as a reduction to the general partner’s capital account.
We, along with the Private Funds, entered into an agreement (the “Covered Affiliate Agreement”), simultaneously with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, pursuant to which we (and certain of our subsidiaries) agreed, in general, to be bound by certain restrictions on our investments in any assets that the General Partners deem suitable for the Private Funds, other than government and agency bonds, cash equivalents and investments in non-public companies. We and our subsidiaries will not be restricted from making investments in the securities of certain companies in which Mr. Icahn or companies he controlled had an interest in as of the date of the initial launch of the Private Funds, and companies in which we had an interest as of the date of acquisition on August 8, 2007. We and our subsidiaries, either alone or acting together with a group, will not be restricted from (i) acquiring all or any portion of the assets of any public company in connection with a negotiated transaction or series of related negotiated transactions or (ii) engaging in a negotiated merger transaction with a public company and, pursuant thereto, conducting and completing a tender offer for securities of the company. The terms of the Covered Affiliate Agreement may be amended, modified or waived with the consent of us and each of the Private Funds, provided, however, that a majority of the members of an investor committee maintained for certain of the Private Funds may (with our consent) amend, modify or waive any provision of the Covered Affiliate Agreement with respect to any particular transaction or series of related transactions.
We have also entered into an employment agreement (the “Icahn Employment Agreement”) with Mr. Icahn pursuant to which, over a five-year term, Mr. Icahn will serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of New Icahn Management, in addition to his current role as Chairman of Icahn Enterprises. Mr. Icahn also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the General Partners. During the employment term, we will pay Mr. Icahn an annual base salary of $900,000 and an annual incentive bonus based on a bonus formula with two components. The first component is based on the annual return on AUM by the Investment Management and GP Entities. The second component of the annual bonus payable by us is tied to the growth in our annual net income (other than income or losses resulting from the operations of the Investment Management and GP Entities).
Fifty percent of all bonus amounts payable by us and New Icahn Management shall be subject to mandatory deferral and treated as though invested in the Private Funds and as though subject to a 2% annual management fee (but no incentive allocation). Such deferred amounts shall be subject to vesting in equal annual installments over a three-year period commencing from the last day of the year giving rise to the bonus. Amounts deferred generally are not subject to acceleration and unvested deferred amounts shall be forfeited if Mr. Icahn ceases to be employed under his employment agreement, provided that all deferred

amounts shall vest in full and be payable in a lump sum payment thereafter if the employment of Mr. Icahn is terminated by us without Cause or Mr. Icahn terminates his employment for Good Reason, as such terms are defined in the Icahn Employment Agreement, or upon Mr. Icahn’s death or disability during the employment term. In addition, upon Mr. Icahn’s completion of service through the end of the employment term, Mr. Icahn will also vest in full in any mandatory deferrals. Vested deferred amounts (and all deferred returns, earnings and profits thereon) shall be paid to Mr. Icahn within 60 days following the vesting date. Returns on amounts subject to deferral shall also be subject to management fees charged by New Icahn Management.
The Investment Management and GP Entities provide investment advisory and certain management services to the Private Funds. The Investment Management and GP Entities do not provide investment advisory or other management services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. Interests in the Private Funds are offered only to certain sophisticated and accredited investors on the basis of exemptions from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws and are not publicly available. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Revenue Recognition,” for a further description of the management fees and incentive allocations earned by the Investment Management and GP Entities with respect to these services.
Each of the General Partners may, in its sole discretion, elect to reduce or waive the incentive allocation with respect to the capital account of any limited partner of the Onshore Fund or Offshore Master Fund I, respectively. For fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, the Onshore GP received an incentive allocation of $68.9 million, $21.8 million and $4.4 million, respectively, and the Offshore GP received an incentive allocation of $121.6 million, $35.5 million and $5.3 million, respectively. Such amounts are eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
As described in further detail in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Revenue Recognition,” pursuant to the Management Agreements, Icahn Management (and subsequent to the acquisition of the Partnership Interests on August 8, 2007, New Icahn Management) typically is entitled to receive certain quarterly management fees. From August 8, 2007 through September 30, 2007, New Icahn Management earned $21.4 million in such management fees. Such amounts received from the Onshore Fund and the consolidated Offshore Fund are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements. The management fees earned for fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 were $82.4 million, $44.2 million and $3.2 million, respectively. Such amounts are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.
In addition, pursuant to the provisions of a deferred fee arrangement, Icahn Management was eligible to defer receipt of all or a portion of the management fee earned from the Offshore Fund during a particular fiscal quarter in a fiscal year, and to have a portion or all of the deferred fee invested in the same manner as the Offshore Fund’s other assets, or in another manner approved by both the Offshore Fund and Icahn Management. The value of such deferred amounts constitutes a liability of the Offshore Fund to Icahn Management. Any amounts invested under the provisions of the deferred fee arrangement continue for all purposes to be part of the general assets of the Offshore Fund and generally earn the same return as other investors (except where fees are waived), and Icahn Management has no proprietary interest in any such assets.
Icahn Management elected to defer an aggregate of 95% of the management fees from the Offshore Fund and such amounts remain invested in the Offshore Fund for fiscal 2006 (97% and 100% for fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively). For fiscal 2006, 2005 and 2004 the amounts of management fees elected to be deferred were $39.1 million, $26.0 million and $1.8 milllion, respectively, and the appreciation earned upon them, was $19.7 million in fiscal 2006 and $2.4 million in fiscal 2005.
Under separate deferred compensation employment agreements, certain employees are entitled to receive a percentage of the management fees. As of December 31, 2005, deferred compensation related to management fees of Icahn Management amounted to $2.3 million, which included appreciation since inception on

such deferred amounts of $0.2 million. As of December 31, 2006, deferred compensation related to management fees of Icahn Management amounted to $6.7 million, which included appreciation since inception on such deferred amounts of $1.7 million. Appreciation in fiscal 2006 on such deferred amounts was $1.5 million. Refer to Note 13, “Compensation Arrangements,” for additional information regarding these agreements.
Icahn & Co. LLC and certain other entities beneficially owned by Carl C. Icahn affiliates of Icahn Management (collectively “Icahn Affiliates”) have paid for the salaries and benefits of employees who perform various functions including accounting, administrative, investment, legal and tax services. Under a separate expense-sharing agreement, Icahn Affiliates have charged Icahn Management for a portion of these expenses. For fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, the amounts charged to Icahn Management were $12.4 million, $9.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Management believes that all allocated amounts are reasonable based upon the nature of the services provided (e.g. occupancy, salaries and benefits, etc.).
Icahn Affiliates have paid rent for the occupancy of space shared by Icahn Management. Under a separate expense-sharing agreement, Icahn Affiliates have charged Icahn Management for a portion of these expenses. For fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, the amounts charged to Icahn Management were $1.4 million, $1.5 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
In addition, certain expenses borne by Icahn Management have been reimbursed by Icahn Affiliates, as appropriate and when such expenses were incurred. The expenses included investment-specific expenses for investments acquired by both the Private Funds (prior to our acquisition of the Partnership Interests on August 8, 2007) and Icahn Affiliates which were allocated based on the amounts invested by each party, as well as investment management-related expenses which were allocated based on estimated usage agreed upon by both Icahn Management and the Icahn Affiliates.
b. Holding Company and Other Operations
Oil and Gas
In October 2003, pursuant to a purchase agreement dated as of May 16, 2003, we acquired certain debt and equity securities of NEGI from entities affiliated with Mr. Icahn for an aggregate cash consideration of $148.1 million plus $6.7 million in cash for accrued interest on the debt securities. The securities acquired were $148.6 million in principal amount of outstanding 10.75% senior notes due 2006 of NEGI and 5,584,044 shares of common stock of NEGI. As a result of the foregoing transaction and the acquisition by us of additional securities of NEGI prior to the closing, we beneficially owned in excess of 50% of the outstanding common stock of NEGI. In connection with the acquisition of stock in NEGI, the excess of cash disbursed over the historical cost, which amounted to $2.8 million, was charged to the general partner’s equity. NEGI owned a 50% interest in NEG Holdings; the other 50% interest in NEG Holdings was held by an affiliate of Mr. Icahn prior to our acquisition of the interest during the second quarter of fiscal 2005. NEG Holdings owned NEG Operating LLC which owned operating oil and gas properties managed by NEGI.
On December 6, 2004, we purchased from affiliates of Mr. Icahn $27.5 million aggregate principal amount, or 100% of the outstanding term notes issued by TransTexas (the “TransTexas Notes”). The purchase price was $28.2 million in cash, which equaled the principal amount of the TransTexas Notes plus accrued but unpaid interest.
In December 2004, we purchased all of the membership interests of MidRiver LLC (“MidRiver”), from affiliates of Mr. Icahn for an aggregate purchase price of $38.0 million. The assets of MidRiver consist of $38.0 million principal amount of term loans of Panaco.
In January 2005, we entered into an agreement to acquire TransTexas (subsequently known as National Onshore), Panaco (subsequently known as National Offshore) and the membership interest in NEG Holdings other than that already owned by NEGI for cash consideration of $180.0 million and depositary units valued,

In January 2004, ACEP entered into an agreement to acquire Arizona Charlie’s Decatur and Arizona Charlie’s Boulder, from Mr. Icahn and an entity affiliated with Mr. Icahn, for aggregate consideration of $125.9 million. The acquisition was completed on May 26, 2004.
Atlantic City Property
In 1998 and 1999, we acquired an interest in The Sands, by purchasing the principal amount of $31.4 million of first mortgage notes issued by GB Property Funding Corp. (“GB Property”). The purchase price for the notes was $25.3 million. GB Property was organized as a special purpose entity by Greate Bay Hotel and Casino, Inc. (“Greate Bay”), for the purpose of borrowing funds. Greate Bay was a wholly owned subsidiary of GBH. An affiliate of the general partner also made an investment. A total of $185.0 million in notes were issued.
In January 1998, GB Property and Greate Bay filed for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to restructure its long-term debt.
In July 2000, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court ruled in favor of the reorganization plan proposed by affiliates of the general partner which provided for an additional investment of $65.0 million by certain Icahn affiliates in exchange for a 46% equity interest in GBH, with bondholders (which also included the Icahn affiliates) to receive $110.0 million principal amount of new notes of GB Property First Mortgage (“the GB Notes”), and a 54% equity interest in GBH. Interest on the GB Notes was payable at the rate of 11% per annum on March 29 and September 29, beginning March 29, 2001. The outstanding principal was due September 29, 2005. The principal and interest that was due on September 29, 2005 was not paid. On September 29, 2005, GBH filed for bankruptcy for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Until July 22, 2004, Greate Bay was the owner and operator of The Sands. Atlantic Coast was a wholly owned subsidiary of Greate Bay which was a wholly owned subsidiary of GBH. ACE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantic Coast. Atlantic Coast and ACE were formed in connection with a transaction (referred to herein as the “Transaction”), which included a Consent Solicitation and Offer to Exchange in which holders of the GB Notes were given the opportunity to exchange such notes, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, for $110.0 million of 3% Notes due 2008 (the “3% Notes”), issued by Atlantic Coast. The Transaction and the Consent Solicitation and Offer to Exchange were consummated on July 22, 2004, and holders of $66.3 million of GB Notes exchanged such notes for $66.3 million Atlantic Coast 3% Notes. Also, on July 22, 2004, in connection with the Consent Solicitation and Offer to Exchange, the indenture governing the GB Notes was amended to eliminate certain covenants and to release the liens on the collateral securing such notes. The Transaction included, among other things, the transfer of substantially all of the assets of GBH to Atlantic Coast.
The Atlantic Coast 3% Notes are guaranteed by ACE. Also on July 22, 2004, in connection with the consummation of the Transaction and the Consent Solicitation and Offer to Exchange, GB Property and Greate Bay merged into GBH, with GBH as the surviving entity. In connection with the transfer of the assets

and certain liabilities of GBH, including the assets and certain liabilities of Greate Bay, Atlantic Coast issued 2,882,937 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, to Greate Bay which, following the merger of Greate Bay became the sole asset of GBH. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of GBH and Greate Bay (with the exception of the remaining GB Notes and accrued interest thereon, the Atlantic Coast shares of common stock, and the related pro rata share of deferred financing costs) were transferred to Atlantic Coast or ACE. As part of the Transaction, an aggregate of 10,000,000 warrants were distributed on a pro rata basis to the stockholders of GBH upon the consummation of the Transaction. Such warrants allow the holders to purchase from Atlantic Coast at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, an aggregate of 2,750,000 shares of Atlantic Coast common stock and are only exercisable following the earlier of either (a) the 3% Notes being paid in cash or upon conversion, in whole or in part, into Atlantic Coast common stock, (b) payment in full of the outstanding principal of the GB Notes exchanged or (c) a determination by a majority of the board of directors of Atlantic Coast (including at least one independent director of Atlantic Coast) that the warrants may be exercised. A gaming license to operate The Sands was granted to ACE by the New Jersey Casino Control Commission.
On December 27, 2004, we purchased $37.0 million principal amount of Atlantic Coast 3% Notes from two Icahn affiliates for cash consideration of $36.0 million. We already owned $26.9 million principal amount of 3% Notes.
On May 17, 2005, we (1) converted $28.8 million in principal amount of 3% Notes into 1,891,181 shares of Atlantic Coast common stock and (2) exercised warrants to acquire 997,620 shares of Atlantic Coast common stock. Also on May 17, 2005, affiliates of Mr. Icahn exercised warrants to acquire 1,133,284 shares of Atlantic Coast common stock. Prior to May 17, 2005, GBH owned 100% of the outstanding common stock of Atlantic Coast.
On June 30, 2005, we completed the purchase of 4,121,033 shares of common stock of GBH and 1,133,284 shares of Atlantic Coast from affiliates of Mr. Icahn in consideration of 413,793 of the depositary units of Icahn Enterprises. The agreement provided that up to an additional 206,897 depositary units could be issued if Atlantic Coast met certain earnings targets during fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006. The depositary units issued in consideration for the acquisitions were valued at $12.0 million. Based on the fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006 operating performance of The Sands, no additional depositary units have been issued.
After the purchases from affiliates of Mr. Icahn, we owned 77.5% of the common stock of GBH and 58.2% of the common stock of Atlantic Coast. As a result, we obtained control of GBH and Atlantic Coast. The period of common control for GBH and Atlantic Coast began prior to January 1, 2002. The financial statements give retroactive effect to the consolidation of GBH and Atlantic Coast. We had previously accounted for GBH on the equity method. On September 29, 2005, GBH filed for bankruptcy.
On November 17, 2006, we completed the sale to Pinnacle of the outstanding membership interests in ACE which owns The Sands and 100% of the equity interests in certain subsidiaries of IEH which own parcels of real estate adjacent to The Sands, including the Traymore site. See Note 5, “Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale,” and Note 18, “Subsequent Events,” for additional information regarding the sale.
Administrative Services
In July 2005, we entered into a license agreement with an affiliate for the non-exclusive use of approximately 1,514 square feet for which we paid monthly base rent of $13,000 plus 16.4% of certain “additional rent.” The license agreement was amended effective August 8, 2007 to reflect an increase in our portion of the office space to approximately 4,246 square feet or approximately 64.76% of the total space leased to an affiliate, of which 3,125 square feet is allocated to the Investment Management and GP Entities. Under the amended license agreement, effective August 8, 2007, the monthly base rent is approximately $147,500, of

We also pay 64.76% of the additional rent payable under the license agreement which is allocated 17.10% to the Holding Company and 47.66% to the Investment Management and GP Entities.

Additionally, we are entitled to certain annual rent credits each December beginning December 2005 and continuing through December 2011. For fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, we paid such affiliate $162,000, $138,000 and $162,000, respectively, in connection with this licensing agreement.
An affiliate occupies a portion of certain office space leased by us. Monthly payments from the affiliate for the use of the space began on October 12, 2006. For the period beginning October 12, 2006 and ending December 31, 2006, we received $17,000 for the use of such space.
For fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, we paid $783,000, $1,016,000 and $506,000, respectively, to XO Holdings, Inc., formerly known as XO Communications, Inc., an affiliate of the general partner, for telecommunication services.
An affiliate of the general partner provided certain professional services to WPI for which WPI incurred charges from the affiliate of $344,986 and $81,600 for fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively. No charges were incurred in fiscal 2006.
We provide certain professional services to an affiliate of the general partner for which we charged $695,000, $324,548 and $80,000 for fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively. In October 2006, an affiliate remitted $355,691 to us as an advance payment for future services. As of December 31, 2006, current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet included $287,380 to be applied to our charges to the affiliate for services to be provided to it.
An affiliate provided certain professional services to WPI for which it incurred charges of approximately $218,000 for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Icahn Sourcing, LLC (“Icahn Sourcing”) is an entity formed and controlled by Carl C. Icahn in order to leverage the potential buying power of a group of entities with which Mr. Icahn has a relationship in negotiating with a wide range of suppliers of goods, services and tangible and intangible property. We are a member of the buying group and, as such, are afforded the opportunity to purchase goods, services and property from vendors with whom Icahn Sourcing has negotiated rates and terms. Icahn Sourcing does not guarantee that we will purchase any goods, services or property from any such vendors, and we are under no obligation to do so. We do not pay Icahn Sourcing any fees or other amounts with respect to the buying group arrangement. We have purchased a variety of goods and services as members of the buying group at prices and on terms that we believe are more favorable than those which would be achieved on a stand-alone basis.

Investments in Variable Interest Entities
The Investment Management and GP Entities consolidate certain VIEs when they are determined to be the primary beneficiary, either directly or indirectly through other consolidated subsidiaries. The assets of the consolidated VIEs are primarily classified within cash held at consolidated affiliated partnerships and restricted cash and securities owned, at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are primarily classified within securities sold, not yet purchased, at fair value, in the consolidated balance sheets and are non-recourse to the Investment Management and GP Entities’ general credit.
The consolidated VIEs consist solely of the Offshore Fund whose purpose and activities are further described in Note 1, “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation.” The Investment Management and GP Entities sponsored the formation of and manage each of these VIEs and, in some cases, have a principal investment therein.
The following table presents information regarding interests in VIEs for which the Investment Management and GP Entities hold a variable interest as of December 31, 2006 (in $000s):

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on our Holding Company and other investments were as follows:
 | |  | |  | |  |

Unrealized gains (losses) on securities sold short | | | 18,067 | | | | (4,178 | ) | | | (18,807 | ) |
Net gain (loss) from investment activities | | $ | 91,308 | | | $ | (21,260 | ) | | $ | 16,540 | |
Proceeds from the sales of available-for-sale securities were $726.8 million, $96.9 million and $82.3 million for fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively. The gross realized gains on available-for-sale securities sold for fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004 were $47.5 million, $8.6 million and $37.2 million, respectively. The net unrealized gains for trading securities for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 were approximately $20.5 million and $8.4 million, respectively. For purposes of determining gains and losses, the cost of securities is based on specific identification. Net unrealized holding gains on available-for-sale securities in the amount of $29.7 million for fiscal 2006, and net unrealized holding losses on available for sale securities in the amount of $4.2 million and $9.5 million for fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively, have been included in accumulated other comprehensive income.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2005, we began using the services of an unaffiliated third-party investment manager to manage certain fixed income investments. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, $163.7 million and $448.8 million, respectively, had been invested at the discretion of such manager in a diversified portfolio consisting predominantly of short-term investment grade debt securities. Investments managed by the third-party investment manager are classified as available-for-sale securities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2006, accrued expenses and other current liabilities included $46.4 million relating to unsettled trades of securities.
Included in other securities are 12,842,000 shares of SandRidge’s common stock, received as consideration for the sale of our oil and gas operations, and which are valued at $231.2 million as of December 31, 2006. There is no readily available market for such securities.
Investment in ImClone
As described in Note 2 above, in the fourth quarter of 2006, we changed our method of accounting for our investment in ImClone to the equity method of accounting. As a result, the financial statements of prior years have been adjusted to apply the new method retrospectively.
The effect of the change increased our fiscal 2006 net income by $12.6 million, or $0.23 per unit. The financial statements for fiscal 2005 have been retrospectively adjusted for the change, which resulted in an increase of net income for fiscal 2005 of $1.4 million, or $0.04 per unit. The cumulative effect of the change resulted in an increase and decrease in our total partners’ equity by $42.2 million and $2.9 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, as a result of recording our proportionate share of ImClone’s net income, other comprehensive income and other changes in ImClone’s stockholders’ equity.
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, our carrying value of our equity investment in ImClone was $164.3 million and $97.3 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, the market value of our ImClone shares held was $122.2 million. As of September 30, 2006, our underlying equity in the net assets of ImClone was approximately $36.3 million. While we recognize that the carrying value of our investment in ImClone as of December 31, 2006 is greater than the market value of our shares held, we believe that this is a temporary decline and accordingly no impairment has been recognized.

Margin Liability on Marketable Securities
At December 31, 2005, a liability of $131.1 million was recorded related to purchases of securities from a broker that had been made on margin. There was no margin liability outstanding at December 31, 2006. The margin liability is secured by the securities we purchased and cannot exceed certain pre-established percentages of the fair market value of the securities collateralizing the liability. If the balance of the margin exceeds certain pre-established percentages of the fair market value of the securities collateralizing the liability, we will be subject to a margin call and required to fund the account to return the margin balance to certain pre-established percentages of the fair market value of the securities collateralizing the liability.

a. Investment Management
The Private Funds’ financial instruments are stated at fair value in accordance with the AICPA Guide. See Note 7, “Investments and Related Matters,” for a condensed schedule of the Private Funds’ investments pursuant to the AICPA Guide.
b. Holding Company and Other Operations
In determining fair value of financial instruments, we used quoted market prices when available. For instruments where quoted market prices were not available, we estimated the present values utilizing current risk-adjusted market rates of similar instruments. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and payable, other accruals, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other liabilities are deemed to be reasonable estimates of their fair values because of their short-term nature.
Considerable judgment is necessarily required in interpreting market data used to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value.

9. Financial Instruments, Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk
a. Investment Management
The Private Funds maintain their cash deposits with a major financial institution. Certain account balances may not be covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, while other accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. We believe that the risk is not significant. Substantially all of the Onshore Fund’s and Offshore Master Fund I’s investments are held by, and its depository and clearing operations are transacted by, two prime brokers. The prime brokers are highly capitalized and members of major securities exchanges.
In the normal course of business, the Private Funds trade various financial instruments and enter into certain investment activities, which may give rise to off-balance-sheet risk. Currently, the Private Funds invest in futures, options and securities sold, not yet purchased. These financial instruments represent future commitments to purchase or sell other financial instruments or to exchange an amount of cash based on the change in an underlying instrument at specific terms at specified future dates. Risks arise with these financial instruments from potential counter-party non-performance and from changes in the market values of underlying instruments.
Securities sold, not yet purchased represent obligations of the Private Funds to deliver the specified security, thereby creating a liability to repurchase the security in the market at prevailing prices. Accordingly, these transactions result in off-balance-sheet risk, as the Private Funds’ satisfaction of the obligations may exceed the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Private Funds’ investments in securities and amounts due from broker are partially restricted until the Private Funds satisfy the obligation to deliver the securities sold, not yet purchased.
The Private Funds also may purchase and write option contracts. As a writer of option contracts, the Private Funds receive a premium at the outset and then bear the market risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the underlying financial instrument. As a result of writing option contracts, the Private Funds are obligated to purchase or sell, at the holder’s option, the underlying financial instrument. Accordingly, these transactions result in off-balance-sheet risk, as the Private Funds’ satisfaction of the obligations may exceed the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Private Funds write put options that may require them to purchase assets from the option holder and generally are net settled in cash at a specified date in the future. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the maximum payout amounts relating to written put options were $510.5 million and $100.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the carrying amounts of the liability under written put options recorded within securities sold, not yet purchased, at fair value were $0.
The Private Funds have entered into total return swap contracts that involve an exchange of cash flows based on a commitment to pay a variable rate of interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. The market-linked return may include, among other things, the total return of a security or index.
The Private Funds trade futures contracts. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, security, currency or cash at a specified price and specified future date unless the contract is closed before the delivery date. Payments (or variation margin) are made or received by the Private Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and the whole value change is recorded an as an unrealized gain or loss by the Private Funds. When the contract is closed, the Private Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The Private Funds utilize forward contracts to protect their assets denominated in foreign currencies from losses due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Private Funds’ exposure to credit risk associated with non-performance of forward foreign currency contracts is limited to the unrealized gains inherent in such

The Investment Funds and the Offshore Fund are consolidated into our financial statements even though we only have a minority interest in the equity and income of these funds. As a result, our consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of these funds on a gross basis, rather than reflecting only the value of our investments in such funds. As of December 31, 2006, the net asset value of the consolidated Private Funds on our consolidated balance sheet was $4.0 billion, while the net asset value of our investments in these consolidated funds was approximately $280.7 million. The majority ownership interests in these funds, which represent the portion of the consolidated Private Funds’ net assets and net income attributable to the limited partners and shareholders in the consolidated Private Funds for the periods

The non-controlling interests in WPI declined due to losses incurred during fiscal 2006, while the noncontrolling interests in Atlantic Coast increased due to income as well as the gain recognized upon the disposition of Atlantic City properties in November 2006. There was no non-controlling interest in NEGI in fiscal 2005 because NEGI had a deficit equity balance.

Senior Unsecured Notes — Icahn Enterprises
Senior Unsecured 7.125% Notes Due 2013
On February 7, 2005, Icahn Enterprises issued $480.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2013 (the “7.125% notes”), priced at 100% of principal amount. The 7.125% notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated February 7, 2005 among Icahn Enterprises, as issuer, Icahn Enterprises Finance Corp., (“IEF”) which was formerly known as American Real Estate Finance Corp., as co-issuer, IEH, as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (referred to herein as the “2005 Indenture”). Other than IEH, no other subsidiaries guarantee payment on the notes. The notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 7.125%, which will be paid every six months on February 15 and August 15 and will mature on February 15, 2013. See Note 18, Subsequent Events, for a description of additional $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% notes offered in January 2007.
As described below, the 2005 Indenture restricts the ability of Icahn Enterprises and IEH, subject to certain exceptions, to, among other things: incur additional debt; pay dividends or make distributions; repurchase units; create liens and enter into transactions with affiliates.
Senior Unsecured 8.125% Notes Due 2012
On May 12, 2004, Icahn Enterprises and IEF co-issued senior unsecured 8.125% notes due 2012, (the “8.125% notes”), in the aggregate principal amount of $353.0 million. The 8.125% notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of May 12, 2004, among Icahn Enterprises, IEF, IEH, as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee.

have a fixed annual interest rate of 8.125%, which is paid every six months on June 1 and December 1, since December 1, 2004. The 8.125% notes will mature on June 1, 2012. Other than IEH, no other subsidiaries guarantee payment on the notes.
As described below, the indenture governing the 8.125% notes restricts the ability of Icahn Enterprises and IEH, subject to certain exceptions, to, among other things: incur additional debt; pay dividends or make distributions; repurchase units; create liens and enter into transactions with affiliates.
Senior Unsecured Notes Restrictions and Covenants
The indentures governing the senior unsecured 7.125% and 8.125% notes restrict the payment of cash distributions, the purchase of equity interests or the purchase, redemption, defeasance or acquisition of debt subordinated to the senior unsecured notes. The indentures also restrict the incurrence of debt or the issuance of disqualified stock, as defined, with certain exceptions, provided that Icahn Enterprises may incur debt or issue disqualified stock if, immediately after such incurrence or issuance, the ratio of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding indebtedness of Icahn Enterprises and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis to the tangible net worth of Icahn Enterprises and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis would be less than 1.75 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2006, such ratio was less than 1.75 to 1.0. Based on this ratio, we and IEH could have incurred up to approximately $1.6 billion of additional indebtedness.
In addition, the indentures governing the senior unsecured notes require that on each quarterly determination date Icahn Enterprises and the guarantor of the notes (currently only IEH) maintain a minimum ratio of cash flow to fixed charges each as defined, of 1.5 to 1.0, for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently completed prior to such quarterly determination date. For the four quarters ended December 31, 2006, the ratio of cash flow to fixed charges was greater than 1.5 to 1.0.
The indentures also require, on each quarterly determination date, that the ratio of total unencumbered assets, as defined, to the principal amount of unsecured indebtedness, as defined, be greater than 1.5 to 1.0 as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2006, such ratio was in excess of 1.5 to 1.0.
The indentures also restrict the creation of liens, mergers, consolidations and sales of substantially all of Icahn Enterprises’ assets, and transactions with affiliates.
As of December 31, 2006, we and Icahn Enterprises were in compliance with each of the covenants contained in the senior unsecured notes. Each of the aforementioned ratios were calculated as of December 31, 2006 without the contemplation of the acquisition of our Investment Management segment. We expect to be in compliance with each of the debt covenants for the period of at least 12 months from December 31, 2006 after taking into account our Investment Management segment.
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility — Icahn Enterprises
On August 21, 2006, Icahn Enterprises and IEF, as the borrowers, and certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a credit agreement with Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc., as administrative agent, and certain other lender parties. Under the credit agreement, Icahn Enterprises is permitted to borrow up to $150.0 million, including a $50.0 million sub-limit that may be used for letters of credit. Borrowings under the agreement, which are based on Icahn Enterprises’ credit rating, bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.0% to 2.0%. Icahn Enterprises pays an unused line fee of 0.25% to 0.5%. As of December 31, 2006, there were no borrowings under the facility.
Obligations under the credit agreement are guaranteed and secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of certain of our indirect wholly owned holding company subsidiaries. The credit agreement has a term of four years and all amounts are due and payable on August 21, 2010. The credit agreement includes covenants that, among other things, restrict the creation of liens and certain dispositions of property by holding

Senior Secured 7.85% Notes Due 2012 — ACEP
In January 2004, ACEP issued senior secured notes due 2012. The notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $215.0 million, bear interest at the rate of 7.85% per annum, which will be paid every six months, on February 1 and August 1.
The indenture governing the ACEP’s 7.85% senior secured notes due 2012 restricts the payment of cash dividends or distributions by ACEP, the purchase of its equity interests, the purchase, redemption, defeasance or acquisition of debt subordinated to ACEP’s notes and investments as “restricted payments.” The indenture also prohibits the incurrence of debt or the issuance of disqualified or preferred stock, as defined, by ACEP, with certain exceptions, provided that ACEP may incur debt or issue disqualified stock if, immediately after such incurrence or issuance, the ratio of consolidated cash flow to fixed charges (each as defined) for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional indebtedness is incurred or disqualified stock or preferred stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis giving effect to the debt incurrence or issuance. As of December 31, 2006, such ratio was in excess of 2.0 to 1.0. The indenture also restricts the creation of liens, the sale of assets, mergers, consolidations or sales of substantially all of ACEP’s assets, the lease or grant of a license, concession, other agreements to occupy, manage or use ACEP’s assets, the issuance of capital stock of restricted subsidiaries and certain related party transactions. The indenture governing the ACEP notes allows ACEP and its restricted subsidiaries to incur indebtedness, among other things, of up to $50.0 million under credit facilities, non-recourse financing of up to $15.0 million to finance the construction, purchase or lease of personal or real property used in its business, permitted affiliate subordinated indebtedness (as defined), the issuance of additional 7.85% senior secured notes due 2012 in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 2.0 times net cash proceeds received from equity offerings and permitted affiliate subordinated debt, and additional indebtedness of up to $10.0 million.
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility — ACEP
Effective May 9, 2006, ACEP, and certain of ACEP’s subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank N.A., as syndication agent, Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc., as administrative agent, and certain other lender parties. As of December 31, 2006, the interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the credit facility was 6.85% per annum. The credit agreement amends and restates, and is on substantially the same terms as, a credit agreement entered into as of January 29, 2004. Under the credit agreement, ACEP will be permitted to borrow up to $60.0 million. Obligations under the credit agreement are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of ACEP and its subsidiaries. The credit agreement has a term of four years and all amounts will be due and payable on May 10, 2010. As of December 31, 2006, there were $40.0 million of borrowings under the credit agreement. The borrowings were incurred to finance a portion of the purchase price of the Aquarius.
The credit agreement includes covenants that, among other things, restrict the incurrence of additional indebtedness by ACEP and its subsidiaries, the issuance of disqualified or preferred stock, as defined, the creation of liens by ACEP or its subsidiaries, the sale of assets, mergers, consolidations or sales of substantially all of ACEP’s assets, the lease or grant of a license or concession, other agreements to occupy, manage or use ACEP’s assets, the issuance of capital stock of restricted subsidiaries and certain related party transactions. The credit agreement also requires that, as of the last date of each fiscal quarter, ACEP’s ratio of consolidated first lien debt to consolidated cash flow not be more than 1.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2006, such ratio was less than 1.0 to 1.0. As of December 31, 2006, ACEP was in compliance with each of the covenants.

12. Long-Term Debt – (continued)
Secured Revolving Credit Agreement — WestPoint Home
On June 16, 2006, WestPoint Home, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of WPI, entered into a $250.0 million loan and security agreement with Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent and lender. On September 18, 2006, The CIT Group/Commercial Services, Inc., General Electric Capital Corporation and Wells Fargo Foothill, LLC were added as lenders under this credit agreement. Under the five-year agreement, borrowings are subject to a monthly borrowing base calculation and include a $75.0 million sub-limit that may be used for letters of credit. Borrowings under the agreement bear interest, at the election of WestPoint Home, either at the prime rate adjusted by an applicable margin ranging from minus 0.25% to plus 0.50% or LIBOR adjusted by an applicable margin ranging from plus 1.25% to 2.00%. WestPoint Home pays an unused line fee of 0.25% to 0.275%. Obligations under the agreement are secured by WestPoint Home’s receivables, inventory and certain machinery and equipment.
The agreement contains covenants including, among others, restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, investments, redemption payments, distributions, acquisition of stock, securities or assets of any other entity and capital expenditures. However, WestPoint Home is not precluded from effecting any of these transactions if excess availability, after giving effect to such transaction, meets a minimum threshold.
As of December 31, 2006, there were no borrowings under the agreement, but there were outstanding letters of credit of approximately $40.1 million, the majority of which relate to trade obligations.

13. Compensation Arrangements
Investment Management
The Investment Management and GP Entities have entered into agreements with certain of their employees whereby these employees have been granted rights to participate in a portion of the management fees and incentive allocations earned by the Investment Management and GP Entities, net of certain expenses, and subject to various vesting provisions. The vesting period of these rights is generally between two to seven years, and such rights expire at the end of the contractual term of each respective employment agreement. Up to 100% of the amounts earned annually under such rights may be deferred for a period not to exceed ten years from the date of deferral, based on an annual election made by the employee for the upcoming fiscal year's respective management fee and incentive allocation rights. These amounts remain invested in the Private Funds and generally earn the rate of return of these funds, before the effects of any management fees or incentive allocations, which are waived on such deferred amounts. Accordingly, these rights are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and remeasured at fair value each reporting period until settlement.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Investment Management and GP Entities had accounted for such rights under APB 25, which measured the liability at intrinsic value. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R

13. Compensation Arrangements – (continued)
and the remeasurement of all previously outstanding rights did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements as the intrinsic value of these awards, as further described herein, approximates their fair value.
The fair value of amounts deferred under these rights is determined at the end of each reporting period based, in part, on the (i) fair value of the underlying net assets of the Private Funds, upon which the respective management fees and incentive allocations are based, and (ii) performance of the funds in which the deferred amounts are reinvested. The carrying value of such amounts represents the allocable management fees or incentive fees initially deferred and the appreciation or depreciation on any reinvested deferrals. These amounts approximate fair value because the appreciation or depreciation on the deferrals is based on the fair value of the Private Funds' investments, which are marked-to-market through earnings on a quarterly basis.
The Investment Management and GP Entities recorded compensation expense of $17.3 million, $3.3 million and $0.3 million related to these rights for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and for the period from November 1, 2004 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2004, respectively, which is included in expenses of our Investment Management segment in the consolidated statements of operations. Compensation expense arising from deferral arrangements is recognized in the consolidated financial statements over the vesting period. Accordingly, unvested balances of deferred management fee and incentive fee income allocations to certain employees are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred amounts not yet recognized as compensation expense within the consolidated statements of operations were $8.0 million, $3.4 million and $0.5 million as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 4.1 years. Cash paid to settle rights that had vested and had been withdrawn for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and for the period from November 1, 2004 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 2004 was $6.4 million, $1.0 million and $0, respectively.
The liabilities incurred by Icahn Management related to the rights granted to certain employees to participate in a portion of the management fees earned by Icahn Management remained with Icahn Management upon the execution of the Contribution Agreement on August 8, 2007. However, because the employees to which these rights were granted became employees of New Icahn Management on August 8, 2007, New Icahn Management recognizes the future compensation expense associated with the unvested portion of rights granted by Icahn Management, even though such liability will be settled by an affiliated entity.
14. Employee Benefit Plans
Employees of our subsidiaries who are members of various unions are covered by union-sponsored, collectively bargained, multi-employer health and welfare and defined benefit pension plans. Our subsidiaries recorded expenses for such plans of $14.0 million, $14.7 million and $13.3 million for fiscal 2006, fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively.
We and certain of our subsidiaries have retirement savings plans under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering our non-union employees. The plans allow employees to defer, within prescribed limits, a portion of their income on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the plans. We currently match the deferrals based upon certain criteria, including levels of participation by our employees. We recorded charges for matching contributions of $1.2 million for fiscal 2006 and $0.8 million for each of fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2004, respectively.
15. Segment Reporting
Through the quarter ended June 30, 2006, or the second quarter of fiscal 2006, we maintained the following six reportable segments: (1) Oil and Gas; (2) Gaming; (3) Rental Real Estate; (4) Property Development; (5) Associated Resort Activities and (6) Home Fashion. In November 2006, we divested our Oil and Gas

segment and our Atlantic City gaming properties. On April 22, 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell our Nevada gaming operations, which comprise our remaining gaming operations. As a result, our former Oil and Gas segment and our former Gaming segment are now classified as discontinued operations and thus are not considered reportable segments of our continuing operations, as described in Note 5, “Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale.”
The three related operating lines of our Real Estate segment are all individually immaterial and have been aggregated for purposes of reporting financial information related to its operations.
We now maintain the following remaining reportable segments: (1) Investment Management; (2) Real Estate and (3) Home Fashion. Our Investment Management segment provides investment advisory and certain management services to the Private Funds, but does not provide such services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. Our Real Estate segment includes rental real estate that primarily consists of fee and leasehold properties in 19 states as of December 31, 2006, property development that is primarily focused on the construction and sale of single-family houses and residential developments and the operation of resort properties associated with our residential developments. Our Home Fashion segment, through our subsidiary, WPI, markets a broad range of manufactured and sourced bed, bath and basic bedding products.
We assess and measure segment operating results based on segment earnings as disclosed below. Segment earnings from operations are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements, nor synonymous with cash flow from operations. As discussed above, the terms of financings for the Home Fashion and Real Estate segments impose restrictions on their ability to transfer funds to us, including restrictions on dividends, distributions, loans and other transactions.
In the table below the Investment Management segment is represented by the first four columns. The first column, entitled Investment Management and GP Entities, represents the results of operations of the Investment Management segment without the impact of eliminations arising from the consolidation of the Private Funds. This includes the gross amount of management fees, incentive allocations and returns on investments in the Private Funds that are attributable to Icahn Enterprises Holdings only. The second column represents the total consolidated income and expenses of the Private Funds for all investors, including Icahn Enterprises Holdings, before eliminations. The third column represents the eliminations required in order to arrive at our consolidated U.S. GAAP reported income for the segment.

16. Income Taxes – (continued)
A reconciliation of the effective tax rate on continuing operations as shown in the consolidated statements of operations to the federal statutory rate is as follows:
 | |  | |  | |  |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | | 2004 |
Federal statutory rate | | | 35.0 | % | | | 35.0 | % | | | 35.0 | % |
Valuation allowance | | | 2.8 | | | | 4.5 | | | | 0.0 | |
Income not subject to taxation | | | (37.8 | ) | | | (38.9 | ) | | | (35.0 | ) |
Other | | | 0.2 | | | | 0.2 | | | | 0.1 | |
| | | 0.2 | % | | | 0.8 | % | | | 0.1 | % |
For the year ended December 31, 2006, the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets increased approximately $55.8 million. The increase is primarily attributable to a $81.5 million increase attributable to the additional valuation allowance established on the deferred tax assets of WPI, offset by a $25.7 million reversal of the valuation allowance at Atlantic Coast.
Former Gaming Segment
SFAS No. 109 requires a “more likely than not” criterion be applied when evaluating the realizability of a deferred tax asset. As of December 31, 2005, given Atlantic Coast’s history of losses for income tax purposes and certain other factors, Atlantic Coast had established a valuation allowance of $27.7 million on its deferred tax assets. However, at December 31, 2006, based on various factors including the sale of its gaming operations and the future taxable income projections from the reinvestment of the sales proceeds, Atlantic Coast determined that it was more likely than not that a significant portion of the deferred tax assets will be realized and removed $25.7 million of the valuation allowance.
At December 31, 2006, Atlantic Coast had federal net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $41.7 million, which will begin expiring in the year 2023 and forward. We also had New Jersey net operating loss carryforwards totaling approximately $0.6 million as of December 31, 2006, which will begin expiring in the year 2012. Additionally, Atlantic Coast had general business credit carryforwards of approximately $1.4 million which expire in 2009 through 2026, and New Jersey alternative minimum assessment credit carryforwards of approximately $1.9 million, which can be carried forward indefinitely.
Former Oil and Gas Segment
As of December 31, 2005, NEGI had established a valuation allowance of approximately $8.8 million due to the uncertainty that it would generate enough future taxable income in order to utilize all of its deferred tax assets. For fiscal 2006, NEGI generated enough taxable income, primarily from the gain on its sale of its interest in NEG Holdings, to utilize all of its net operating loss carryforwards and as of December 31, 2006 has no remaining deferred tax assets. Accordingly, for fiscal 2006, the valuation allowance of $8.8 million was also reversed.
Investment Management Segment
Icahn Management (and, subsequent to the acquisition of the Partnership Interests on August 8, 2007, New Icahn Management) is subject to a New York City Unincorporated Business Tax (“UBT”) at a statutory rate of 4% on a portion of its net income. UBT is accounted for under SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes.
17. Commitments and Contingencies
We are from time to time parties to various legal proceedings arising out of our businesses. We believe however, that other than the proceedings discussed below, there are no proceedings pending or threatened against us which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

WPI Litigation
Federal Proceedings
In November and December 2005, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, or the District Court, rendered a decision inContrarian Funds LLC v. WestPoint Stevens, Inc. et al., and issued orders reversing certain provisions of the Bankruptcy Court order (the “Sale Order”), pursuant to which we acquired our ownership of a majority of the common stock of WPI. WPI acquired substantially all of the assets of WestPoint Stevens, Inc. The District Court remanded to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings.
On April 13, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court entered a remand order (the “Remand Order”), which provided, among other things, that all of the shares of common stock and rights to acquire shares of common stock of WPI issued to us and the other first lien lenders or held in escrow pursuant to the Sale Order constituted “replacement collateral.” The Bankruptcy Court held that the 5,250,000 shares of common stock that we acquired for cash were not included in the replacement collateral. The Bankruptcy Court also held that, in the event of a sale of the collateral, including the sale of the shares we received upon exercise of certain subscription rights (the “Exercise Shares”), all proceeds would be distributed, pro rata, among all first lien lenders, including us, until the first lien debt was satisfied, in full. The parties filed cross-appeals of the Remand Order.
On October 9, 2007, the District Court entered an Order (the “October 9th Order”) on the appeal and cross-appeal. The District Court affirmed the Remand Order but held that, as to the Exercise Shares, any sale proceeds would be divided between us and the first lien lenders (including us), generally based upon the ratio of the amount we paid to exercise the rights to the total value of the Exercise Shares on the date they were acquired. We are holders of approximately 39.99% of the outstanding first lien debt and approximately 51.21% of the outstanding second lien debt.
Each of the parties has filed a notice of appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. As part of that appeal, the parties have the right to raise issues relating to the District Court’s November 2005 Opinion, and the Orders entered thereon, as well as issues relating to the October 9th Order.
Delaware Proceedings
On October 3, 2007, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County, or the Chancery Court, issued a Limited Status Quo Order (“the Order”) in Beal Bank, S.S.B., et. al. v. WestPoint International, Inc. et. al., in connection with the complaint filed on January 19, 2007, as amended, by Beal Bank, S.S.B. and certain creditors of WestPoint Stevens, Inc., collectively, the Plaintiffs. The Order required that WPI and subsidiaries seek a further court order, obtain consent, or give notice before engaging in certain actions. On October 15, 2007, the Chancery Court issued a Modified Limited Status Quo Order (the “Modified Order”), modifying certain provisions of the prior order to permit WPI and its subsidiaries to conduct ordinary course of business activities without further notice, consent, or order, including (i) ordinary course of business sales and purchases provided any particular transaction does not exceed $20,000,000 and (ii) transfers of excess inventory, unused equipment and/or unused real property to an unrelated third party provided the sale price for any particular real property transaction does not exceed $30,000,000.
We continue to vigorously defend against all claims asserted in the Federal and Delaware proceedings and believe that we have valid defenses. However, we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings or the ultimate impact on our investment in WPI and its subsidiaries or the business prospects of WPI and its subsidiaries.
Lear Corporation
Icahn Enterprises was named as a defendant in various actions filed in connection with its proposed merger agreement with Lear Corporation (“Lear”). The Lear shareholders rejected the merger and the merger

agreement has terminated. See Note 18, “Subsequent Events.” Icahn Enterprises remains a party to an action filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware challenging the payment to us of a break-up fee as provided in the merger agreement. We intend to vigorously defend the Delaware action but we cannot predict the outcome of the action.
GBH
On September 29, 2005, GBH filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result of this filing, we determined that we no longer control GBH for accounting purposes, and deconsolidated our investment in GBH effective September 30, 2005.
An Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors, or the Committee, of GBH, was formed and, on October 13, 2006, was granted standing by the Bankruptcy Court to commence litigation in the name of GBH against us, ACE, Atlantic Coast and other entities affiliated with Carl C. Icahn, as well as the directors of GBH. The Committee challenged the transaction in July 2004 that, among other things, resulted in the transfer of The Sands to ACE, a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantic Coast, the exchange by certain holders of GBH’s 11% notes for Atlantic Coast 3% senior secured convertible notes due 2008, or the 3% notes, the issuance to the holders of GBH’s common stock of warrants allowing the holders to purchase shares of Atlantic Coast common stock and, ultimately, our ownership of approximately 67.6% of the outstanding shares of Atlantic Coast common stock and ownership by GBH of approximately 30.7% of such stock. We also maintained ownership of approximately 77.5% of the outstanding shares of GBH common stock. The Committee originally filed an objection to the allowance of our claims against GBH. The Bankruptcy Court placed the consideration of the Committee’s Proposed Plan of Liquidation and Disclosure Statement in abeyance until the resolution of the proposed litigation.
Additionally, on September 2, 2005, Robino Stortini Holdings, LLC (“RSH”) which claimed to own beneficially 1,652,590 shares of common stock of GBH, filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware against GBH and its Board of Directors seeking appointment of a custodian and receiver for GBH and a declaration that the director defendants breached their fiduciary duties.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, we and other entities affiliated with Mr. Icahn entered into a term sheet with the Committee, GBH and RSH which outlined the resolution of claims relating to the July 2004 transactions. The provisions of the term sheet were incorporated in the Committee’s Eighth Modified Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of GBH (“the Plan”). On January 30, 2007, the Bankruptcy Court approved the plan. On February 22, 2007, in accordance with the Plan, we acquired (1) all of the Atlantic Coast common stock owned by GBH for a cash payment of approximately $52.0 million and in satisfaction of all claims arising under the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2005, between GBH and us and (2) all of the warrants to acquire Atlantic Coast common stock and the Atlantic Coast common stock owned by RSH for a cash payment of $3.7 million. As a result, Atlantic Coast is our indirect wholly owned subsidiary. In accordance with the Plan, GBH used the $52.0 million to pay amounts owed to its creditors, including the holders of GBH’s 11% notes and holders of administrative claims and to establish an approximate $330,000 fund to be distributedpro rata to holders of equity interests in GBH other than us and other Icahn affiliates. In addition, we and other Icahn affiliates received releases of all direct and derivative claims that could be asserted by GBH, its creditors and stockholders, including RSH. All issues relating to GBH have now been resolved. See Note 18, “Subsequent Events.”

18. Subsequent Events
Debt Offerings
On January 16, 2007, we issued an additional $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% notes (the “additional 7.125% notes” and together with the 7.125% notes being referred to herein as the “notes”), priced at 98.4% of par, or at a discount of 1.6%, pursuant to the 2005 Indenture. See Note 12, “Long-Term Debt.” The notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 7.125%, which will paid every six months on February 15 and August 15 and will mature on February 15, 2013. At the time we issued the additional 7.125% notes, we entered into a new registration rights agreement in which we agreed to permit noteholders to exchange the private notes for new notes which will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act. A preliminary registration statement on Form S-4 with respect thereto was filed on June 21, 2007. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of additional 7.125% Notes, the registration statement must be declared effective by the SEC on or before November 13, 2007. Since the registration statement was not declared effective in a timely manner, we are required to pay to the holders of the additional notes liquidated damages in an amount equal to $0.05 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of the additional notes for each week or portion thereof that the registration statement has not been declared effective for the first 90-day period following November 13, 2007, with such liquidated damages increasing by an additional $0.05 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of the additional notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until the registration statement has been declared effective, up to a maximum amount of liquidated damages of $0.50 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of the additional notes. All such accrued liquidated damages shall be paid by Icahn Enterprises on each February 15 and August 15 until the registration statement has been declared effective.
In April 2007, Icahn Enterprises issued an aggregate of $600.0 million aggregate principle amount of variable rate senior convertible notes due 2013 (or the “variable rate notes”). The variable rate notes were sold in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of April 5, 2007, by and among Icahn Enterprises, as issuer, IEF, as co-issuer, and Wilmington Trust

Company, as trustee. The variable rate notes bear interest at a rate of three month LIBOR minus 125 basis points, but no less than 4.0% nor higher than 5.5%, and are convertible into depositary units of Icahn Enterprises at a conversion price of $132.595 per share, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances. As of September 30, 2007, the interest rate was 4.1%. In the event that Icahn Enterprises declares a cash dividend or similar cash distribution in any calendar quarter with respect to its depositary units in an amount in excess of $0.10 per depositary unit (as adjusted for splits, reverse splits, and/or stock dividends), the indenture requires that Icahn Enterprises simultaneously makes such distribution to holders of the variable rate notes in accordance with a formula set forth in the indenture.
The variable rate notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In connection with the sale of the variable rate notes, Icahn Enterprises and the initial buyers have entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which Icahn Enterprises has agreed to file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to resales of depositary units issuable upon conversion of the variable rate notes. A preliminary registration statement on Form S-3 with respect thereto was filed on June 21, 2007. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement entered into in connection with the issuance of these variable rate notes, the registration statement must be declared effective by the SEC on or before December 31, 2007. Otherwise, Icahn Enterprises shall pay to the holders of the convertible notes $2.0 million in the aggregate in additional interest for each 30-day period after December 31, 2007 that the registration statement has not been declared effective. All such accrued additional interest shall be paid by Icahn Enterprises on each January, April, July and October 15th until the registration statement has been declared effective.

Terminated Acquisition of Lear
On February 9, 2007, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as amended on July 9, 2007) (referred to as the “merger agreement”) pursuant to which we would acquire Lear, a publicly traded company that provides automotive interior systems worldwide, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $5.2 billion, including the assumption by the surviving entity of certain outstanding indebtedness of Lear and refinancing of Lear's existing term loan and credit facility. The consummation of the transaction was subject to a shareholder vote.
On July 16, 2007, at Lear’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the merger did not receive the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Lear’s common stock. As a result, the merger agreement terminated in accordance with its terms. As required by the merger agreement, in connection with the termination, Lear (i) paid to our subsidiary $12.5 million in cash, (ii) issued to the subsidiary 335,570 shares of Lear’s common stock and (iii) increased from 24% to 27% the share ownership limitation under the limited waiver of Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“Delaware Law”) granted by Lear to us along with affiliates of and funds managed by Carl C. Icahn. In addition, if (1) Lear stockholders enter into a definitive agreement with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, as defined in the merger agreement, within 12 months after the termination of the merger agreement and such transaction is completed and (2) such Acquisition Proposal has received approval, if required by applicable Law (as defined in the merger agreement), by the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Lear common stock within such 12-month period, Lear will be required to pay to our subsidiary an amount in cash equal to the Superior Fee, as defined in the merger agreement, less $12.5 million.
In connection with the termination of the merger agreement, the commitment letter, dated as of February 9, 2007, or the commitment letter, by and among our subsidiary, Bank of America, N.A. and Banc of America Securities LLC, also terminated pursuant to its terms. The commitment letter provided for certain credit facilities intended to refinance and replace Lear’s existing credit facilities and to fund the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. See Note 17, “Commitments and Contingencies — Lear Corporation” for a discussion of a pending legal proceeding in challenging the payment of the break-up fee to us in connection with the termination.
Acquisition of PSC Metals, Inc.
On November 5, 2007, we acquired, through a subsidiary, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of PSC Metals, Inc. (“PSC Metals”) from Philip Services Corporation (“Philip”). PSC Metals is engaged in transporting, recycling and processing metals. The consideration for the transaction was $335 million in cash.
As part of the transaction, our wholly owned subsidiary purchased 100% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of PSC Metals, whereby PSC Metals became our indirect wholly owned subsidiary. Prior to the acquisition, PSC Metals was a co-borrower with Philip and other Philip subsidiaries under a credit agreement, (the “Credit Agreement”) with UBS Securities LLC, as lead arranger, and had granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets to secure its obligations thereunder. Approximately $34.6 million of the proceeds from the transaction was paid to release PSC Metals from all claims, guarantees and future obligations under the Credit Agreement. In addition, Philip used a portion of the proceeds to collateralize PSC Metals’ letters of credit of approximately $6.3 million. PSC Metals is currently under negotiations to enter into a $100 million asset-based borrowing agreement. Subsequent to the consummation of the borrowing agreement, PSC Metals will fund its letters of credit from its borrowing base and funds used to collateralize the letters of credit by Philip will be released.
Mr. Icahn indirectly owns a 95.6% interest and we indirectly own the remaining 4.4% interest in Philip. The transaction was approved by a special committee of independent members of the board of directors of Icahn Enterprises. The special committee was advised by its own legal counsel and independent financial

adviser with respect to the transaction. The special committee received an opinion from its financial adviser as to the fairness to Icahn Enterprises, from a financial point of view, of the consideration paid by Icahn Enterprises.
PSC Metals is considered an entity under common control. On December 5, 2007, Icahn Enterprises filed a current report on Form 8-K to provide supplemental consolidated financial statements including the acquisition of PSC Metals.
Settlement of GBH Bankruptcy Proceedings
On January 30, 2007, the Eighth Modified Chapter 11 Plan of Liquidation of GBH, (the “Plan”), was approved. On February 22, 2007, in accordance with the Plan, we acquired (1) all of the Atlantic Coast common stock owned by GBH for a cash payment of approximately $52.0 million and in satisfaction of all claims arising under the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of July 25, 2005, between GBH and us and (2) all of the warrants to acquire Atlantic Coast common stock and the Atlantic Coast common stock owned by RSH for a cash payment of $3.7 million. In accordance with the Plan, GBH used the $52.0 million to pay amounts owed to its creditors, including the holders of GBH’s 11% notes and holders of administrative claims and to establish an approximate $330,000 fund to be distributed pro rata to holders of equity interests in GBH other than us and other Icahn affiliates. In addition, we and other Icahn affiliates received releases of all direct and derivative claims that could be asserted by GBH, its creditors and stockholders, including RSH, and $50 million of the amount placed in escrow at the closing of the sale of our Atlantic City gaming properties was released to us. We recorded a gain of $18.5 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 in connection with the settlement of these claims. All claims relating to GBH asserted by its creditors and RSH have now been resolved. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we and several other investors exercised warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Atlantic Coast, resulting in an increase of the minority interest in Atlantic Coast and a decrease in our ownership to 94.2%.
Atlantic Coast Entertainment Holdings, Inc. Merger
On November 15, 2007, ACE HI Merger Corp. (or “Merger Corp”), our indirect wholly owned subsidiary and the owner of approximately 94.2% of the outstanding shares of Atlantic Coast common stock, completed a short-form merger transaction, or the Merger, under Section 253 of Delaware Law, pursuant to which Merger Corp merged with and into Atlantic Coast and Atlantic Coast became our wholly-owned subsidiary. Pursuant to the Merger, the holders of Atlantic Coast common stock (other than Merger Corp) are entitled to receive $21.19 per share in cash in exchange for their shares. Alternatively, by following the procedures set forth under Delaware Law, any of these stockholders who do not wish to accept the $21.19 per share cash consideration are entitled to receive payment in cash of the “fair value” of these shares as determined by an appraisal proceeding by the Delaware Court of Chancery.
Merger Corp will mail Notices of Merger and Appraisal Rights, Letters of Transmittal and other documents necessary for the exchange of stock certificates to stockholders within the time provided by Delaware Law. The Notice of Merger and Appraisal Rights will also provide information for stockholders who choose to exercise their appraisal rights under Delaware Law.
On November 16, 2007, Atlantic Coast filed a Form 15 with the SEC, thereby terminating its reporting obligations under the ’34 Act, and its status as a public company.
NEGI Liquidation
On November 12, 2007, the board of directors of NEGI determined that it is in the best interests of NEGI’s shareholders to liquidate all of NEGI’s assets and approved the dissolution of NEGI and a plan of dissolution and liquidation, or the Plan, subject to required shareholder approval. NEGI will announce the

timing of the shareholder meeting at which approval will be requested and set a record date for the shares entitled to vote at such meeting after the SEC has completed its review of the related proxy materials that NEGI intends to file.
Following shareholder approval of NEGI’s dissolution pursuant to the Plan, NEGI expects to carry out an orderly disposition of NEGI’s assets and liabilities and then declare a cash distribution to its shareholders. NEGI will then file a Form 15 with the SEC, terminating its reporting obligations under the ’34 Act and its status as a public company.
Sale of Common Stock of SandRidge Energy, Inc.
On April 4, 2007, our subsidiaries signed agreements to sell their entire position in the common stock of SandRidge to a consortium of investors in a series of private transactions. The per share selling price was $18, and total cash consideration received at closing was approximately $243.2 million.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
September 30, 2007
Note 1 — Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
General
Icahn Enterprises Holdings Limited Partnership, or IEH, is a limited partnership formed in Delaware on February 17, 1987. We are a diversified holding company engaged in a variety of businesses including Gaming, Real Estate, Home Fashion and Investment Management. Our primary business strategy is to continue to grow and enhance the value of our businesses. We may also seek to acquire additional businesses that are distressed or in out-of-favor industries and will consider divestiture of businesses from which we do not foresee adequate future cash flow or appreciation potential. In addition, we invest our available liquidity in debt and equity securities with a view towards enhancing returns as we continue to assess further acquisitions of operating businesses.
Our sole limited partner is Icahn Enterprises, L.P., or Icahn Enterprises, a Delaware master limited partnership which owns a 99% limited partnership interest in us. Our general partner is Icahn Enterprises G.P. Inc., (“IEGP”), which was formerly known as American Property Investors, Inc., a Delaware corporation, which is also the general partner of Icahn Enterprises. IEGP is a wholly owned subsidiary of Beckton Corp., a Delaware corporation. All of the outstanding capital stock of Beckton Corp., is owned by Carl C. Icahn. References to IEH, “we” or “us” herein include IEH and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires.
IEH has guaranteed the 7.125% senior notes due 2013 issued by Icahn Enterprises. At December 31, 2005, there were fewer than 300 holders of the notes and guarantees. On January 24, 2006, we filed a Form 15 to notify the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) that our reporting obligations automatically were suspended pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “’34 Act”) .
Change in Reporting Entity
As discussed in further detail below, on August 8, 2007, we acquired the general partnership interests in the General Partners (as defined below) and in Icahn Capital Management L.P. (“New Icahn Management”). Our historical financial statements contained herein have been restated to reflect this acquisition. In accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), assets transferred between entities under common control are accounted for at historical cost similar to a pooling of interests, and the financial statements of previously separate companies for periods prior to the acquisition are restated on a consolidated basis.
As a result of the restatements arising from the acquisition that occurred on August 8, 2007, our financial statements now include additional entities as described below. Some of these entities prepare financial statements based on accounting policies that were not described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006 (the “2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K”). Accordingly, certain required additional information is included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q in order to supplement disclosures already included in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The new accounting policies, which relate to our Investment Management segment, are set out in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
Basis of Presentation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC related to interim financial statements. The financial information contained herein is unaudited; however, management believes all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature, except for the adoption of certain accounting pronouncements as discussed below in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of IEH and its wholly and majority owned subsidiaries in which control can be exercised, in addition to those entities in which IEH has a substantive

controlling, general partner interest or in which it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. IEH is considered to have control if it has a direct or indirect ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
As further described in Note 2, the Investment Funds and the Offshore Fund (as each term is defined herein) are consolidated into our financial statements even though we only have a minority interest in the equity and income of these funds. The majority ownership interests in these funds, which represent the portion of the consolidated net assets and net income attributable to the limited partners and shareholders in the consolidated Private Funds (as defined herein) for the periods presented, are reflected as non-controlling interests of consolidated entities — Investment Management in the accompanying financial statements.
Because of the diversified and seasonal nature of our business, the results of operations for quarterly and other interim periods are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Variations in the amount and timing of gains and losses on our investments can be significant. The results of our Real Estate and Home Fashion segments are seasonal.
Change in Presentation
As a result of the acquisition of the Partnership Interests on August 8, 2007 and the consolidation of the affiliated partnership entities, we have changed the presentation of our balance sheets to an unclassified format in the accompanying financial statements as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Accordingly, certain amounts reflected in our classified balance sheets in our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2007 have been reclassified to conform to the unclassified balance sheet presentation.
We have also changed the presentation of our statements of operations. The reclassifications to the statement of operations included in our quarterly report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on August 9, 2007 are as follows:
| 1. | The grouping of revenues and expenses to arrive at “operating income” and certain categories of “other income and expense” has been discontinued. |
| 2. | Interest and other income, net gain from investment activities and other income, net are now classified as revenues. |
| 3. | Interest expense is included in total expenses. |
Acquisition
On August 8, 2007, we acquired the general partnership interests in the General Partners and New Icahn Management. These entities provide investment advisory and certain management services to the Private Funds but do not provide such services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. Interests in the Private Funds are offered only to certain sophisticated and accredited investors on the basis of exemptions from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws and are not publicly available.
We entered into a Contribution and Exchange Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”), dated as of August 8, 2007, with CCI Offshore Corp. (“CCI Offshore”), CCI Onshore Corp. (“CCI Onshore”), Icahn Management LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Icahn Management” and together with CCI Offshore and CCI Onshore collectively referred to herein as the “Contributors”) and Carl C. Icahn. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, we acquired general partnership interests in Icahn Onshore LP (the “Onshore GP”) and Icahn Offshore LP (the “Offshore GP” and, together with the Onshore GP, the “General Partners”), acting as general partners of Icahn Partners LP (the “Onshore Fund”) and the Offshore Master Funds (as defined below) managed and controlled by Mr. Icahn. In addition, as referred to herein, the “Offshore Master Funds” consist of (i) Icahn Partners Master Fund LP (“Offshore Master Fund I”); (ii) Icahn Partners Master Fund II

L.P. (“Offshore Master Fund II”) and (iii) Icahn Partners Master Fund III L.P. (“Offshore Master Fund III”). The Onshore Fund and the Offshore Master Funds are collectively referred to herein as the “Investment Funds.”
The Offshore GP also acts as general partner of certain funds formed as Cayman Islands exempted limited partnerships that invest in the Offshore Master Funds. These funds, together with other funds that also invest in the Offshore Master Funds, constitute the “Feeder Funds” and, together with the Investment Funds, are referred to herein as the “Private Funds.” We also acquired the general partnership interests in New Icahn Management, a Delaware limited partnership, which is a newly formed management company that provides certain management and administrative services to the Private Funds.
The total initial consideration paid for the acquisition was $810 million of depositary units of Icahn Enterprises based on the volume-weighted average price of the depositary units of Icahn Enterprises on the NYSE for the 20-trading-day period ending on August 7, 2007 (the day before the closing). In addition, we have agreed to make certain earn-out payments to the Contributors over a five-year period payable in additional depositary units based on our after-tax earnings from the General Partners and New Icahn Management subsequent to the acquisition, which includes both management fees and performance-based or incentive allocations paid by the Private Funds to New Icahn Management and the General Partners. There is a potential maximum aggregate earn-out (including any catch-up) of $1.121 billion, which is subject to achieving total after-tax earnings during the five-year period of at least $3.906 billion.
Prior to the acquisition of the Partnership Interests (as defined below) on August 8, 2007, CCI Offshore was the general partner of the Offshore GP, which, in turn, is the general partner of the Offshore Master Funds, each of which is a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership. Offshore Master Fund I commenced investment operations on November 1, 2004 and each of Offshore Master Fund II and Offshore Master Fund III commenced operations in fiscal 2007. In addition, CCI Onshore was the general partner of the Onshore GP, which, in turn, is the general partner of the Onshore Fund, which is a Delaware limited partnership that commenced investment operations on November 1, 2004.
CCI Offshore contributed to us 100% of CCI Offshore’s general partnership interests in the Offshore GP (the “Offshore Partnership Interests”), and CCI Onshore contributed to us 100% of CCI Onshore’s general partnership interests in the Onshore GP (the “Onshore Partnership Interests”). The General Partners’ capital account with respect to the Offshore Partnership Interests and the Onshore Partnership Interests at the time of our acquisition aggregated $10 million.
Immediately prior to the execution and delivery of the Contribution Agreement, Icahn Management and New Icahn Management entered into an agreement pursuant to which Icahn Management contributed substantially all of its assets and liabilities, other than certain rights in respect of deferred management fees, to New Icahn Management in exchange for 100% of the general partnership interests in New Icahn Management. Such contribution included the assignment of certain management agreements with the Private Funds. Pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, Icahn Management contributed to us 100% of Icahn Management’s general partnership interests in New Icahn Management (the “New Icahn Management Partnership Interests” and, together with the Onshore Partnership Interests and the Offshore Partnership Interests, referred to herein as the “Partnership Interests”).
Prior to the formation of New Icahn Management, Icahn Management provided management and administrative services to the Private Funds. New Icahn Management currently provides management and administrative services to the Private Funds. As referred to herein, the term “Investment Management and GP Entities” include either Icahn Management (for the period prior to the acquisition on August 8, 2007) or New Icahn Management (for the period subsequent to the acquisition on August 8, 2007) and, in either case, the General Partners.

about an entity’s activities through voting or similar rights. We use the guidance set forth in Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-05,Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights(“EITF No. 04-05”), FASB Interpretation No. 46R,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46R”), and in SFAS No. 94,Consolidation of All Majority-Owned Subsidiaries — An Amendment of ARB No. 51, with Related Amendments of APB Opinion No. 18, and ARB No. 43 Chapter 12 (“SFAS No. 94”), with respect to our investments in partnerships and limited liability companies. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated.
The accompanying financial statements include the consolidated financial statements of the Investment Management and GP Entities and certain consolidated Private Funds during the periods presented. The Investment Management and GP Entities consolidate those entities in which (i) they have an investment of more than 50% and have control over significant operating, financial and investing decisions of the entity pursuant to SFAS No. 94, (ii) they have a substantive controlling, general partner interest pursuant to EITF No. 04-05 or (iii) they are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (a “VIE”) pursuant to FIN 46R. With respect to the consolidated Private Funds, the limited partners and shareholders have no substantive rights to impact ongoing governance and operating activities.
New Icahn Management, the Onshore GP and the Offshore GP are consolidated into Icahn Enterprises Holdings pursuant to SFAS No. 94 as Icahn Enterprises Holdings owns greater than 50% of the partnership interests in these entities. Icahn Enterprises Holdings has a substantive controlling, general partnership interest in these entities.
The Onshore Fund is consolidated into the Onshore GP, pursuant to EITF No. 04-05, which defines the criteria for determining whether a general partner controls a limited partnership when the limited partners have certain rights, such as“kick-out” rights. According to EITF No. 04-05, consolidation of a limited partnership by the general partner is required when these rights do not exist.
Offshore Master Fund I is consolidated into Icahn Fund Ltd. (the “Offshore Fund”). In addition, the Offshore Fund, Offshore Master Fund II, Offshore Master Fund III and, through October 1, 2006, Icahn Sterling Fund Ltd. (the “Sterling Fund”) are consolidated into the Offshore GP, pursuant to FIN 46R. On October 1, 2006, the Sterling Fund’s assets were contributed to the Offshore Fund. A VIE is defined as an entity in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. A VIE must be consolidated only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who, along with its affiliates and agents, will absorb a majority of the VIE's expected losses or receive a majority of the expected residual returns as a result of holding variable interests.
The Investment Funds and the Offshore Fund are consolidated into our financial statements even though we only own a minority interest in the equity and income of these funds. As a result, our consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of these funds on a gross basis, rather than reflecting only the value of our investments in such funds. As of September 30, 2007, the net asset value of the consolidated Private Funds on our balance sheet was $7.1 billion, while the net asset value of our investments in these consolidated funds was approximately $355.9 million. The majority ownership interests in these funds, which represent the portion of the consolidated net assets and net income attributable to the limited partners and shareholders for the periods presented, are reflected as non-controlling interests in consolidated entities — Investment Management in the consolidated balance sheets and as non-controlling interests in income of consolidated entities — Investment Management in the statements of operations. In addition, the management fees and incentive allocations earned by us from these funds have been eliminated in consolidation and are reflected on our financial statements as an increase in our allocated share of the net

income from these funds. However, management fees earned from unconsolidated Private Funds are not eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.
Although the Private Funds are not investment companies within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, each of the consolidated Private Funds is, for purposes of U.S. GAAP, an investment company under the AICPA Audit and Accounting Guide — Investment Companies (the “AICPA Guide”). The Investment Management and GP Entities adopted Statement of Position No. 07-1,Clarification of the Scope of the Audit and Accounting Guide — Investment Companies and Accounting by Parent Companies and Equity Method Investors for Investments in Investment Companies (“SOP 07-1”) as of January 1, 2007. SOP 07-1, issued in June 2007, addresses whether the accounting principles of the AICPA Guide may be applied to an entity by clarifying the definition of an investment company and whether those accounting principles may be retained by a parent company in consolidation or by an investor in the application of the equity method of accounting. Upon the adoption of SOP 07-1, (i) the Offshore GP lost its ability to retain specialized accounting pursuant to the AICPA Guide for either its equity method investment in Offshore Master Fund I or for its consolidation of the Offshore Fund, Offshore Master Fund II and Offshore Master Fund III, and (ii) the Onshore GP lost its ability to retain specialized accounting for its consolidation of the Onshore Fund, in each case, because both the Offshore GP and the Onshore GP do not meet the requirements for retention of specialized accounting under SOP 07-1, as the Offshore GP and Onshore GP and their affiliates acquire interests for strategic operating purposes in the same companies in which their subsidiary investment companies invest.
However, upon losing their ability to retain specialized accounting, the Investment Management and GP Entities applied SFAS No. 115,Accounting for Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (“SFAS No. 115”), to their investments held by the consolidated Private Funds in debt securities and in those equity securities with readily determinable fair values, as defined by that Statement, and classified such investments as available-for-sale securities and elected the fair value option pursuant to SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (“SFAS No. 159”), and reclassified such securities as trading securities. For those equity securities that fall outside the scope of SFAS No. 115 because they do not have readily determinable fair values as defined by that Statement, the Investment Management and GP entities elected the fair value option pursuant to SFAS No. 159 and measured the fair value of such securities in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). For those investments in which the Investment Management and GP Entities would otherwise account for such investments under the equity method, the Investment Management and GP Entities, in accordance with their accounting policy, elected the fair value option pursuant to SFAS No. 159 for all such investments. The election of the fair value option pursuant to SFAS No. 159 was deemed to most accurately reflect the nature of our business relating to investments.
Derivative contracts entered into by the consolidated Private Funds continue to be accounted for pursuant to SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 133”), which was amended by SFAS No. 138,Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities (“SFAS No. 138”). These pronouncements require recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at their fair value. All changes in the fair values of derivatives held by the consolidated Private Funds are reported in earnings.
The management fees earned by New Icahn Management (and by Icahn Management prior to the acquisition on August 8, 2007) from consolidated entities and the incentive allocations earned by the Onshore GP and the Offshore GP from the Onshore Fund and the Offshore Master Funds, respectively, are eliminated in consolidation; however, the Investment Management and GP Entities’ allocated share of the net income from the Private Funds includes the amount of these eliminated fees. Accordingly, the consolidation of the Private Funds has no material net effect on the Investment Management and GP Entities’ earnings from the Private Funds.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider short-term investments, which are highly liquid with original maturities of three months or less at date of purchase, to be cash equivalents.
Cash Held at Consolidated Affiliated Partnerships and Restricted Cash
Cash held at consolidated affiliated partnerships and restricted cash consists of (i) cash and cash equivalents held by the Onshore Fund and the Offshore Master Funds that, although not legally restricted, is not available to fund the general liquidity needs of the Investment Management and GP Entities or Icahn Enterprises Holdings and (ii) restricted cash relating to derivatives held on deposit.
Investments and Related Transactions
Investment Transactions and Related Investment Income. Investment transactions of the Private Funds are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses on sales of investments are based on the first-in, first-out or the specific identification methods. Realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Interest income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis and dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Premiums and discounts on fixed income securities are amortized using the effective yield method.
Valuation of Investments. Securities of the Private Funds that are listed on a securities exchange are valued at their last sales price on the primary securities exchange on which such securities are traded on such date. Securities that are not listed on any exchange but are traded over-the-counter are valued at the mean between the last “bid” and “ask” price for such security on such date. Securities and other instruments for which market quotes are not readily available are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the applicable general partner.
Foreign Currency Transactions. The books and records of the Private Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated into U.S. dollars at the rate of exchange in effect at the balance sheet date. Transactions during the period denominated in currencies other than U.S. dollars are translated at the rate of exchange applicable on the date of the transaction. Foreign currency translation gains and losses are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. The Private Funds do not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in the market prices of securities. Such fluctuations are included in the net realized gains (losses) from securities transactions and the net unrealized gains (losses) on securities positions.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments. The fair values of the Private Funds’ assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under SFAS No. 107,Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments, approximate the carrying amounts presented in the consolidated balance sheets.
Securities Sold, Not Yet Purchased. The Private Funds may sell an investment they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the fair value of that investment. When the Private Funds sell an investment short, they must borrow the investment sold short and deliver it to the broker-dealer through which they made the short sale. A gain, limited to the price at which the Private Funds sold the investment short, or a loss, unlimited in amount, will be recognized upon the cover of the short sale.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
Due From Brokers. Due from brokers represents cash balances with the Private Funds’ clearing brokers. A portion of the cash at brokers is related to securities sold, not yet purchased; its use is therefore restricted until the securities are purchased. Securities sold, not yet purchased are collateralized by certain of the Private Funds’ investments in securities. Margin debit balances, which may exist from time to time, are collateralized by certain of the Private Funds’ investments in securities.
Derivatives
From time to time, the Private Funds enter into purchased and written option contracts, swap contracts, futures contracts and forward contracts and follow SFAS No. 133. This pronouncement establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities, which generally require recognition of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at their fair value. The accounting for changes in fair value depends on the intended use of the derivative and its resulting designation. Through September 30, 2007, we did not use hedge accounting and, accordingly, all unrealized gains and losses are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations.
Allocation of Net Profits and Losses in Consolidated Affiliated Partnerships
Net investment income and net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments of the Private Funds are allocated to both the respective general partner and the limited partners or shareholders of the Private Funds based on the ratio of their respective capital balances at the beginning of each allocation period to the total capital of all partners or shareholders of the Private Funds. Such allocations made to the limited partners or shareholders of the Private Funds are represented as non-controlling interests in our consolidated statements of operations. The beginning of an allocation period is defined as the beginning of each fiscal year, the date of admission of any new partner or shareholder of the Private Funds or the date of any additional subscription or redemption by a partner or shareholder of the Private Funds. Upon the allocation to partners based on their respective capital balances, generally 25% of the capital appreciation (both realized and unrealized) allocated to the Investment Funds’ limited partners or lesser amounts for certain limited partners are then reallocated to the Investment Funds' General Partners. Such reallocation is referred to as the General Partners' incentive allocation. The total profits and losses allocated to the respective General Partners of the Investment Funds are included in the net income of the consolidated Investment Management and GP Entities (as either the Onshore GP or Offshore GP act as general partner to the Investment Funds) and are allocated in a manner consistent with the manner in which capital is allocated to the partners of the Investment Management and GP Entities as further discussed below.
Partners' Capital of the Investment Management and GP Entities
The Investment Management and GP Entities are each organized as a limited partnership formed pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act. Limited partnership interests have been granted in the Investment Management and GP Entities to allow certain employees and individuals to participate in a share of the management fees and incentive allocations earned by the Investment Management and GP Entities. Prior to the completion of our acquisition of the Partnership Interests on August 8, 2007, all limited partnership admissions to the Investment Management and GP Entities were determined by the respective general partner entity of the Investment Management and GP Entities, each of which was principally owned by Mr. Icahn.
The Investment Management and GP Entities, individually, intend to be treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes, and as such shall maintain a capital account for each of their partners. Each partner will be allocated an amount of the management fees and incentive allocations subject to, and as determined by, the provisions of each limited partner's respective agreements with each of the Investment Management and GP Entities. All other partnership profits and losses of each of the Investment Management and GP Entities will be allocated among the respective partners in each of the Investment Management and GP Entities pro rata in accordance with their respective capital accounts.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
Income allocations to all partners in each of the Investment Management and GP Entities, except the general partner entity and any limited partnership interests held directly by Mr. Icahn, are accounted for as compensation expense as more fully described in Note 13, “Compensation Arrangements.” All amounts allocated to these partners' capital accounts and their respective capital contributions are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets until those amounts are paid out in accordance with the terms of each respective partner's agreement. Payments made to the respective general partner and any limited partnership interests held by Mr. Icahn are treated as equity distributions.
Revenue Recognition
The Investment Management and GP Entities generate income from amounts earned pursuant to contractual arrangements with the Private Funds. Such amounts typically include an annual management fee of 2.5% of the net asset value before a performance-based, or incentive allocation of 25% of capital appreciation (both realized and unrealized) earned by the Investment Funds subject to a “high water mark” (whereby the General Partners do not earn incentive allocations during a particular year even though the fund had a positive return in such year until losses in prior periods are recovered). Such amounts have been (and may in the future be) modified or waived in certain circumstances. The Investment Management and GP Entities and their affiliates may also earn income through their principal investments in the Private Funds.
At the end of each fiscal year of the Onshore Fund (or sooner upon the occurrence of withdrawals), 25% of the capital appreciation (based on realized and unrealized gains and losses), if any, that is allocated to each capital account of a limited partner of the Onshore Fund (20% of the capital appreciation, if any, for certain limited partners) for such fiscal year is reallocated to the capital account of the Onshore GP subject to a loss carryforward provision as described in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Onshore Fund, dated as of February 1, 2007, as amended from time to time.
At the end of each fiscal year of the Offshore Master Funds and at certain other times, 25% of the capital appreciation (based on realized and unrealized gains and losses), if any, that is allocated to each capital account of a fee-paying limited partner of the Offshore Master Funds (20% in some cases) for such fiscal year shall be reallocated to the capital account of the Offshore GP subject to a loss carryforward provision as described in the applicable limited partnership agreement of each offshore master fund in effect at such time.
Prior to the acquisition on August 8, 2007, Icahn Management recognized management fee income in the period in which the related services were performed and in accordance with certain management agreements with each of the Onshore Fund, the Offshore Fund, Icahn Fund II Ltd. (“Offshore Fund II”), Icahn Fund III Ltd. (“Offshore Fund III” and, together with the Offshore Fund and Offshore Fund II, the “Offshore Funds”) and, through October 1, 2006, the Sterling Fund (collectively, the “Management Agreements”). Subsequent to the acquisition on August 8, 2007, New Icahn Management provides such management and administrative services to the Private Funds and recognizes management fee income in the period in which the related services are performed in accordance with the Management Agreements.
The general partner incentive allocations earned from the Onshore Fund and the Offshore Master Funds are accrued on a quarterly basis in accordance with Method 2 of EITF Topic D-96,Accounting for Management Fees Based on a Formula (“EITF Topic D-96”), and are allocated to the Onshore GP and the Offshore GP, respectively, at the end of the Onshore Fund’s and the Offshore Master Funds’ fiscal year (or sooner on redemptions). Such accruals may be reversed as a result of subsequent investment performance prior to the conclusion of the Onshore Fund’s and the Offshore Master Funds’ fiscal year at December 31.
The incentive allocations earned by the Onshore GP and the Offshore GP from the Onshore Fund and the Offshore Master Funds, respectively, and the management fees earned by New Icahn Management (and by Icahn Management prior to the acquisition on August 8, 2007) from consolidated Private Funds, are eliminated in consolidation; however, the Investment Management and GP Entities’ allocated share of the net income from the Private Funds includes the amount of these eliminated fees.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
Income Taxes
Except as discussed below, no provision has been made for federal, state or local income taxes on the results of operations generated by partnership activities, as such taxes are the responsibility of the partners. Provision has been made for federal, state or local income taxes on the results of operations generated by our corporate subsidiaries and these are reflected within continuing and discontinued operations. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
New Icahn Management (and Icahn Management prior to the acquisition on August 8, 2007) is subject to a New York City Unincorporated Business tax (“UBT”), at a statutory rate of 4% on a portion of its income. UBT is accounted for under SFAS No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes(“SFAS No. 109”). New Icahn Management accounts for these taxes using the asset and liability method under which deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets are limited to amounts considered to be realizable in future periods. A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets if management does not believe that we have met the “more likely than not” standard imposed by SFAS No. 109 to allow recognition of such an asset.
Compensation Arrangements
In December 2004, SFAS No. 123 (Revised 2004),Share-Based Payment (“SFAS No. 123R”) was issued. This accounting standard eliminated the ability to account for share-based compensation transactions using the intrinsic value method in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and requires instead that such transactions be accounted for using a fair-value-based method. SFAS No. 123R requires public entities to record non-cash compensation expense related to payment for employee services by an equity award, such as stock options, in their financial statements over the requisite service period. We have adopted SFAS No. 123R as of June 30, 2005.
The Investment Management and GP Entities have entered into agreements with certain of their employees whereby these employees have been granted rights to participate in a portion of the management fees and incentive allocations earned by the Investment Management and GP Entities, net of certain expenses, and subject to various vesting provisions. These rights are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with SFAS No.123R and remeasured at fair value each reporting period until settlement. See Note 13, “Compensation Arrangements,” for a further description of these arrangements.
b. Holding Company and Other Operations
The following section discusses the accounting policies and disclosures related to Icahn Enterprises Holdings and its other consolidated subsidiaries.
Sales of Subsidiary Stock
SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51, Accounting for Sales of Stock by a Subsidiary(“SAB 51”), provides guidance on accounting for the effect of issuances of a subsidiary’s stock on the parent’s investment in that subsidiary. SAB 51 allows registrants to elect an accounting policy of recording such increases or decreases in a parent’s investment (SAB 51 credits or charges, respectively) as either a gain or loss in the statement of operations or reflected as an equity transaction. In accordance with the election provided in SAB 51, we adopted a policy of recording such SAB 51 credits or charges directly to partners’ equity. As further discussed in Note 11, “Non-Controlling Interests,” during the quarter ended June 30, 2007, or the second

quarter of fiscal 2007, we recognized certain SAB 51 charges to partners’ equity of approximately $6.1 million related to our investment in Atlantic Coast under our adopted policy.
General Partnership Interest of Icahn Enterprises Holdings
The general partner’s capital account generally consists of its cumulative share of our net income less cash distributions plus capital contributions. Additionally, in acquisitions of common control companies accounted for at historical cost similar to a pooling of interests, the general partner’s capital account would be charged or credited in a manner similar to a distribution for the excess (or deficit) of the fair value of consideration paid over historical basis in the business acquired.
Capital Accounts, as defined under our Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership dated as of May 12, 1987, as amended from time to time (together with the partnership agreement of IEH, the “Partnership Agreement”), are maintained for our general partner and our limited partners. The Capital Account provisions of our Partnership Agreement incorporate principles established for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are not comparable to the equity accounts reflected under U.S. GAAP, in our financial statements. Under our Partnership Agreement, the general partner is required to make additional capital contributions to us upon the issuance of any additional depositary units in order to maintain a Capital Account balance equal to 1.0% of the total Capital Accounts of all partners.
Generally, net earnings for U.S. federal income tax purposes are allocated 1.0% and 99.0% between the general partner and the limited partners, respectively, in the same proportion as aggregate cash distributions made to the general partner and the limited partners during the period. This is generally consistent with the manner of allocating net income under our Partnership Agreement; however, it is not comparable to the allocation of net income reflected in our financial statements. Additionally, as discussed below, we elected to change the allocation of gains or losses on disposition of common control acquisitions accounted for as a pooling of interests.
According to the Partnership Agreement, in the event of our dissolution, after satisfying our liabilities, our remaining assets would be divided among our limited partners and the general partner in accordance with their respective percentage interests under the Partnership Agreement (i.e., 99.0% to the limited partners and 1.0% to the general partner). If a deficit balance still remains in the general partner's capital account after all allocations are made between the partners, the general partner would not be required to make whole any such deficit.
Change in Accounting Principle — Method of Allocating Gains and Losses Related to Dispositions of Common Control Acquisitions
In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, we elected to change our method of allocating gains and losses for financial reporting purposes related to dispositions of common control entities accounted for on an as-if pooling basis when acquired. Both the historical method and the new method are acceptable alternative principles under GAAP. The new method of allocating gains and losses from dispositions of common control acquisitions for financial reporting purposes would not affect the amounts distributable to the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests under the Partnership Agreement (i.e., 99.0% to the limited partners and 1.0% to the general partner). This change in accounting principle was applied retrospectively in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections — A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3 (“SFAS No. 154”).
When we acquire an entity under common control, we will continue to reflect the acquired entity in a manner similar to a pooling of interests, as we have in the past. We will also continue to charge or credit the general partner's capital account with the difference between the consideration we pay for the entity and the predecessor basis prior to our acquisition.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (continued)
Historically, upon later sale of the entity to a third party, the entire gain or loss, including cumulative gains and losses relating to periods prior to our acquisition of the entity, was allocated between the general partner and the limited partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests under the Partnership Agreement (i.e., 99.0% to the limited partners and 1.0% to the general partner).
The newly adopted accounting principle only affects transactions involving the sale of a previously acquired common control entity. The newly adopted accounting principle allocates gain or loss for financial reporting purposes by first restoring the general partner's capital account for the charge or credit relating to prior periods recorded at the time of our acquisition and then allocating the remaining gain or loss among the general and limited partners in accordance with their respective percentage interests under the Partnership Agreement (i.e., 99.0% to the limited partners and 1.0% to the general partner).
The impact of this change in accounting principle only affects the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, or fiscal 2006, related to the gains on sale of the former Oil and Gas segment as well as the Atlantic City operations from our former Gaming segment which occurred in the quarter ended December 31, 2006, or the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. The following information details the financial statement line items for fiscal 2006 that were affected by the change in accounting principle, which includes amounts from the common control acquisition of the Partnership Interests made on August 8, 2007 as more fully described in Note 1, “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation.” Net earnings attributable to limited partners decreased from $789.0 million to $514.5 million while net earnings attributable to general partner increased from $275.6 million to $550.1 million. Total net earnings did not change. In addition, partners' equity attributed to the limited partners decreased from $2.4 billion to $2.1 billion and partners' equity attributed to the general partner increased from $405.2 million to $679.7 million. Total partners' equity, which is 99.0% attributable to the limited partners pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, did not change.
c. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS No. 155.On February 16, 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Instruments — an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140(“SFAS No. 155”). The statement amends Statement No. 133 to permit fair value measurement for certain hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative, provides additional guidance on the applicability of SFAS No.133 and 140 to certain financial instruments and subordinated concentrations of credit risk. The new standard is effective for the first fiscal year beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS No. 155 as of January 1, 2007 did not have any impact on our consolidated financial statements.
EITF 06-3.In June 2006, the EITF issued EITF Issue 06-3,How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That is, Gross versus Net Presentation) (“EITF 06-3”), to clarify diversity in practice on the presentation of different types of taxes in the financial statements. EITF 06-3 concluded that, for taxes within the scope of the issue, a company may adopt a policy of presenting taxes either gross within revenue or net. That is, it may include charges to customers for taxes within revenues and the charge for the taxes from the taxing authority within cost of sales, or, alternatively, it may net the charge to the customer and the charge from the taxing authority. If taxes are reported on a gross basis, and are significant, an entity should disclose the amounts of those taxes subject to EITF 06-3. The guidance is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. We present sales tax on a net basis in our consolidated financial statements, and the adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have any impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
FIN 48.In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, including issues relating to financial statement recognition and measurement. FIN 48 provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained if

the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. If an uncertain tax position meets the “more-likely-than-not” threshold, the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely to be recognized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority is recorded. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recorded as an adjustment to opening partners’ equity. We adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. See Note 15, “Income Taxes,” for additional information.
SFAS No. 157.In September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, Fair Value Measurements(“SFAS No. 157”), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements and, accordingly, SFAS No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. We adopted SFAS No.157 as of January 1, 2007, in conjunction with the adoption of SFAS No. 159, as required. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have any material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
SFAS No. 159.In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115(“SFAS No. 159”), which gives entities the option to measure eligible financial assets, financial liabilities and firm commitments at fair value (i.e., the fair value option), on an instrument-by-instrument basis, that are otherwise not permitted to be accounted for at fair value under other accounting standards. The election to use the fair value option is available when an entity first recognizes a financial asset or financial liability or upon entering into a firm commitment. Subsequent changes in fair value must be recorded in earnings. Additionally, SFAS No. 159 allows for a one-time election for existing positions upon adoption, with the transition adjustment recorded to beginning partners’ equity.
We adopted SFAS No. 159 as of January 1, 2007 and elected to apply the fair value option to our investment in ImClone Systems Incorporated (“ImClone”). It is our policy to apply the fair value option to all of our investments that would be subject to the equity method of accounting pursuant to APB 18,The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock (“APB 18”). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, we first applied the equity method of accounting to our investment in ImClone due to changes in ImClone’s board, resulting in our having the ability to exercise significant influence over ImClone. We believe that the quality of the earnings and the value of the investment that we report over time relating to our investment in ImClone are more accurately reflected by the market value methodology of SFAS No. 159 rather than the equity method of accounting. The equity method of accounting would require an appraisal of the fair values of ImClone’s assets and liabilities at the dates that we acquired shares of common stock of ImClone as well as future appraisals should there be any material indications of impairment. We believe that such an appraisal would be subjective given the nature of ImClone’s pharmaceutical operations.
As of the date of adoption, the carrying value of our investment in ImClone was approximately $164.3 million and the fair value of our investment was approximately $122.2 million. In accordance with the transition requirements of SFAS No. 159, we recorded a cumulative effect adjustment to beginning partners’ equity for the difference between the fair value and carrying value on the date of adoption, which reduced partners’ equity by approximately $42.2 million.
As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 159, we are required to record unrealized gains or losses for the change in fair value of our investment in ImClone. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded approximately $27.2 million and $66.5 million of unrealized gains, respectively, resulting from the change in the market value of ImClone’s stock which is recorded as a component of other income, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

We also applied the fair value option pursuant to SFAS No. 159 to our investment in Lear Corporation common stock to be consistent with the Private Funds’ accounting for its investment in Lear Corporation common stock.
As described below in our discussion of the impact of our early adoption of SOP 07-1, we also elected the fair value option for the investments in debt and equity securities held by our consolidated Private Funds.
SOP 07-1.In June 2007, SOP 07-1 was issued. SOP 07-1 addresses whether the accounting principles of the AICPA Guide may be applied to an entity by clarifying the definition of an investment company and whether those accounting principles may be retained by a parent company in consolidation or by an investor in the application of the equity method of accounting. SOP 07-1 applies to reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2007, although early application is permitted. The Investment Management and GP Entities adopted SOP 07-1 as of January 1, 2007.
As discussed above, because the General Partners and their affiliates acquire interests for strategic operating purposes in certain of the same companies in which their subsidiary investment companies invest, they lose their ability to retain specialized accounting pursuant to the AICPA Guide. However, the Investment Management and GP Entities apply SFAS No. 115 to their investments held by the consolidated Private Funds in debt securities and in those equity securities with readily determinable fair values, as defined by that Statement, and classified such investments as available-for-sale securities and elected the fair value option pursuant to SFAS No. 159. For those equity securities that fall outside the scope of SFAS No. 115 because they do not have readily determinable fair values as defined by that Statement, the Investment Management and GP Entities elected the fair value option pursuant to SFAS No.159 and measured the fair value of such securities in accordance with the requirements of SFAS No. 157. For those investments in which the Investment Management and GP Entities would otherwise account for such investments under the equity method, the Investment Management and GP Entities, in accordance with their accounting policy, elected the fair value option pursuant to SFAS No. 159 for all such investments.
FSP FIN 39-1.On April 30, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FIN 39-1 (“FSP FIN 39-1”), which amends FASB Interpretation No. 39,Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts (FIN 39). FSP FIN 39-1 impacts entities that enter into master netting arrangements as part of their derivative transactions by allowing net derivative positions to be offset in the financial statements against the fair value of amounts (or amounts that approximate fair value) recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral under those arrangements. FSP FIN 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, although early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect, if any, of the adoption of FSP FIN 39-1 on our consolidated financial statements.
FSP FIN 46(R)-7. In May 2007, the staff of the FASB issued FASB Staff Position on FIN 46(R)-7,Application of FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) to Investment Companies (“FSP FIN 46(R)-7”). The staff position amends FIN 46R to indicate that investments accounted for at fair value in accordance with SOP 07-1 are not subject to consolidation under FIN 46R. The adoption of FSP FIN 46(R)-7 will require the Investment Management and GP Entities to apply consolidation provisions of FIN 46R to their consolidated entities that previously fell within the scope of the AICPA Guide. The adoption of FSP FIN 46(R)-7 will not have any material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2007, we have three principal operating businesses: Investment Management, Real Estate and Home Fashion. Additional financial information for these businesses is provided in Note 14, “Segment Reporting.”
a. Investment Management
The entities in our Investment Management operations provide investment advisory and certain management services to the Private Funds, but do not provide such services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. Interests in the Private Funds are offered only to certain sophisticated and accredited investors on the basis of exemptions from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws and are not publicly available. The Investment Management and GP Entities generally receive management fees and incentive allocations from the Private Funds. Management fees are generally 2.5% of the net asset value of certain Private Funds. Incentive allocations, which are primarily earned on an annual basis, are generally 25% of the net profits generated by the Private Funds that we manage. Therefore, investment management revenues will be affected by the combination of fee-paying assets under management, or AUM, and the investment performance of the Private Funds.

As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our rental real estate operations owned 33 and 37 rental real estate properties, respectively. These primarily consist of fee and leasehold interests in real estate in 16 states as of September 30, 2007 and 19 states as of December 30, 2006. Most of these properties are net-leased to single corporate tenants. Approximately 85% of these properties are currently net-leased, 3% are operating properties and 12% are vacant. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, rental real estate recorded an asset impairment charge totaling approximately $0.73 million for three properties. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, an asset impairment charge totaling approximately $0.16 million was recorded for two properties.
Our property development operations are run primarily through Bayswater, a real estate investment, management and development subsidiary that focuses primarily on the construction and sale of single-family houses, multi-family homes, lots in subdivisions and planned communities and raw land for residential development. Our New Seabury development property in Cape Cod, Massachusetts and our Grand Harbor and Oak Harbor development property in Vero Beach, Florida each include land for future residential development of

For the nine months ended September 30, 2007, our property development operations recorded an asset impairment charge of approximately $1.8 million related to certain condominium land in our Oak Harbor, Florida subdivision caused by the current slowdown in residential sales.

In accordance with SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets(“SFAS No. 142”), indefinite-lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are subject to impairment testing annually or when indicators of impairment are present. The identifiable intangible assets in our Home Fashion operating unit consist of trademarks acquired by WPI. These include Martex, Vellux, Grand Patrician, WestPoint and Utica. As of September 30, 2007, WPI believes that the decrease in the sales of branded home fashion products is of a long-term nature resulting in an impairment in the carrying value of WPI’s trademarks. As of September 30, 2007, WPI recorded an impairment charge of $3.0 million, reducing the fair value of the trademarks to $20.4 million. In accordance with its annual assessments, WPI will continue to review the value of this intangible asset every quarter.

We intend to close substantially all of our retail stores based on a comprehensive evaluation of the stores’ long-term growth prospects and their on-going value to the business. On October 18, 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell the inventory at substantially all of WPI’s retail stores. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, we have classified the retail outlet stores business as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Restructuring efforts continued during the third quarter of fiscal 2007. WPI recorded charges related to asset impairment associated with closing certain of its plants in the United States. Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2007 include $2.6 million of fixed asset impairment, $3.9 million of machinery parts impairment and $4.6 million in restructuring charges, of which approximately $1.0 million relate to severance and $3.6 million relate to continuing costs of closed plants. Additionally, WPI reduced the fair value of the trademarks and recorded intangible asset impairment charges of $3.0 million. Total expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2006 include $3.3 million in restructuring charges, of which approximately $0.2 million relate to severance and $3.1 million relate to continuing costs of closed plants.
Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 include $18.0 million of fixed asset impairment, $3.9 million of machinery parts impairment and $13.9 million in restructuring charges, of which approximately $4.8 million relates to severance and $9.1 million relates to continuing costs of closed plants. Additionally, WPI reduced the fair value of the trademarks and recorded intangible asset impairment charges of $3.0 million. Total expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 include $26.5 million of fixed asset impairment and $7.1 million in restructuring charges of which approximately $1.5 million relates to severance and $5.6 million relates to continuing costs of closed plants.
Included in restructuring expenses are cash charges associated with the ongoing costs of closed plants, employee severance, benefits and related costs. The amount of the accrued liability balance was $1.2 million as of December 31, 2006. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we incurred additional restructuring costs of $13.9 million, and $14.1 million was paid during this period. As of September 30, 2007, the accrued liability balance was $1.0 million, which is included in other accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet.
Total cumulative impairment and restructuring charges for the period from our acquisition of WPI on August 8, 2005 through September 30, 2007 were $86.0 million.
To improve WPI’s competitive position, WPI intends to continue to restructure its operations to significantly reduce its cost of sales by closing certain plants located in the United States, sourcing goods from lower-cost overseas facilities and, potentially, acquiring manufacturing facilities outside of the United States. WPI has incurred impairment charges to write-down the value of WPI plants taken out of service to their estimated realizable value. We expect that restructuring charges will continue to be incurred throughout fiscal 2007 and into fiscal 2008. WPI expects to incur additional restructuring costs over the next twelve months relating to the current restructuring plan in the range of $15.0 million and $20.0 million.
Ongoing litigation may result in our ownership of WPI being reduced to less than 50% as described in Part I, Item 3 of our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 6, 2007, as supplemented in Part II, Item 1 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2007 filed with the SEC on November 9, 2007.

operations, for $1.3 billion, plus or minus certain adjustments such as working capital, more fully described in the agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, AEP is required to cause ACEP to repay from funds provided by AEP, the principal, interest, prepayment penalty or premium due on ACEP’s 7.85% senior secured notes due 2012 and ACEP’s senior secured credit facility. With this transaction, we anticipate realizing a gain of approximately $0.57 billion on our investments in ACEP, after income taxes. ACEP’s casino assets are comprised of the Stratosphere Casino Hotel & Tower, the Arizona Charlie’s Decatur, the Arizona Charlie’s Boulder and the Aquarius Casino Resort. The transaction is subject to the approval of the Nevada Gaming Commission and the Nevada State Gaming Control Board, as well as customary conditions. The parties expect to close the transaction by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2008; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to consummate the transaction.
Oil and Gas Operations
On November 21, 2006, our indirect wholly owned subsidiary, AREP O & G Holdings, LLC, consummated the sale of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of NEG Oil & Gas to SandRidge, for consideration consisting of $1.025 billion in cash, 12,842,000 shares of SandRidge’s common stock valued, at the date of closing, at $18 per share, and the repayment by SandRidge of $300.0 million of debt of NEG Oil & Gas. On April 4, 2007, we sold our entire position in SandRidge for cash consideration of approximately $243.2 million.
On November 21, 2006, pursuant to an agreement dated October 25, 2006 among IEH, NEG Oil & Gas and NEGI, NEGI sold its membership interest in NEG Holding LLC to NEG Oil & Gas for consideration of approximately $261.1 million in cash. Of that amount, $149.6 million was used to repay the principal and accrued interest on the NEGI 10.75% senior notes due 2007, all of which were held by us.
The Sands and Related Assets
On November 17, 2006, Atlantic Coast, ACE, IEH and certain other entities owned by or affiliated with IEH completed the sale to Pinnacle of the outstanding membership interests in ACE and 100% of the equity interests in certain subsidiaries of IEH that own parcels of real estate adjacent to The Sands, including 7.7 acres known as the Traymore site. We owned, through subsidiaries, approximately 67.6% of Atlantic Coast, which owned 100% of ACE. The aggregate price was approximately $274.8 million, of which approximately $200.6 million was paid to Atlantic Coast and approximately $74.2 million was paid to affiliates of IEH for subsidiaries that owned the Traymore site and the adjacent properties. $51.8 million of the amount paid to Atlantic Coast was deposited into escrow to fund indemnification obligations, of which $50 million related to claims of creditors and stockholders of GB Holdings, Inc. (“GBH”), a holder of stock in Atlantic Coast. On February 22, 2007, we resolved all outstanding litigation involving GBH, resulting in a release of all claims against us. As a result of the settlement, our ownership of Atlantic Coast increased from 67.6% to 96.9% and $50.0 million of the amount placed into escrow was released to us. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we and several other investors exercised warrants to purchase shares of common stock of Atlantic Coast, resulting in an increase of the minority interest in Atlantic Coast and a decrease in our ownership to 94.2%. Additionally, this resulted in a SAB 51 charge of $6.1 million to partners’ equity.
Real Estate
Operating properties from our rental real estate operations are reclassified to held for sale when subject to a contract or letter of intent. The operations of such properties are classified as discontinued operations. The properties classified as discontinued operations have changed during fiscal 2007 and, accordingly, certain amounts in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 have been reclassified to conform to the current classification of properties. Additionally, cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006 have also been reclassified for such properties classified as discontinued operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, five properties were reclassified to discontinued properties held for sale.

All related party transactions are reviewed and approved by our Audit Committee. Where appropriate, our Audit Committee will obtain independent financial advice and legal counsel on the transactions.
a. Investment Management
On August 8, 2007, in a related party transaction, we acquired the general partnership interests in the General Partners, acting as general partners of the Onshore Fund and the Offshore Master Funds managed and controlled by Carl C. Icahn, and the general partnership interests in New Icahn Management, the newly formed management company that provides certain management and administrative services to the Private Funds. The General Partners also act as general partners of certain funds formed as Cayman Islands exempted limited partnerships that invest in the Offshore Master Funds and that, together with other funds that also invest in the Offshore Master Funds, constitute the Feeder Funds. See Note 1, “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation” for further discussion of the acquisition.
In accordance with U.S. GAAP, assets transferred between entities under common control are accounted for at historical cost similar to a pooling of interests, and the financial statements of previously separate companies for periods prior to the acquisition are restated on a consolidated basis. Additionally, prior to acquisition, the earnings, losses, capital contributions and distributions of the acquired entities are allocated to the general partner as an adjustment to equity, and the consideration paid is shown as a reduction to the general partner’s capital account.
We, along with the Private Funds, entered into an agreement (the “Covered Affiliate Agreement”), simultaneously with the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement, pursuant to which we (and certain of our subsidiaries) agreed, in general, to be bound by certain restrictions on our investments in any assets that the General Partners deem suitable for the Private Funds, other than government and agency bonds, cash equivalents and investments in non-public companies. We and our subsidiaries will not be restricted from making investments in the securities of certain companies in which Mr. Icahn or companies he controlled had an interest in as of the date of the initial launch of the Private Funds, and companies in which we had an interest as of the date of acquisition on August 8, 2007. We and our subsidiaries, either alone or acting together with a group, will not be restricted from (i) acquiring all or any portion of the assets of any

public company in connection with a negotiated transaction or series of related negotiated transactions, or (ii) engaging in a negotiated merger transaction with a public company and, pursuant thereto, conducting and completing a tender offer for securities of the company. The terms of the Covered Affiliate Agreement may be amended, modified or waived with the consent of us and each of the Private Funds, provided, however, that a majority of the members of an investor committee maintained for certain of the Private Funds may (with our consent) amend, modify or waive any provision of the Covered Affiliate Agreement with respect to any particular transaction or series of related transactions.
We have also entered into an employment agreement (the “Icahn Employment Agreement”) with Mr. Icahn pursuant to which, over a five-year term, Mr. Icahn will serve as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of New Icahn Management, in addition to his current role as Chairman of Icahn Enterprises. Mr. Icahn also serves as the Chief Executive Officer of the General Partners. During the employment term, we will pay Mr. Icahn an annual base salary of $900,000 and an annual incentive bonus based on a bonus formula with two components. The first component is based on the annual return on AUM by the Investment Management and GP Entities. The second component of the annual bonus payable by us is tied to the growth in our annual net income (other than income or losses resulting from the operations of the Investment Management and GP Entities).
Fifty percent of all bonus amounts payable by us and New Icahn Management shall be subject to mandatory deferral and treated as though invested in the Private Funds and as though subject to a 2% annual management fee (but no incentive allocation). Such deferred amounts shall be subject to vesting in equal annual installments over a three-year period commencing from the last day of the year giving rise to the bonus. Amounts deferred generally are not subject to acceleration and unvested deferred amounts shall be forfeited if Mr. Icahn ceases to be employed under his employment agreement, provided that all deferred amounts shall vest in full and be payable in a lump sum payment thereafter if the employment of Mr. Icahn is terminated by us without Cause or Mr. Icahn terminates his employment for Good Reason, as such terms are defined in the Icahn Employment Agreement, or upon Mr. Icahn’s death or disability during the employment term. In addition, upon Mr. Icahn’s completion of service through the end of the employment term, Mr. Icahn will also vest in full in any mandatory deferrals. Vested deferred amounts (and all deferred returns, earnings and profits thereon) shall be paid to Mr. Icahn within 60 days following the vesting date. Returns on amounts subject to deferral shall also be subject to management fees charged by New Icahn Management.
The Investment Management and GP Entities provide investment advisory and certain management services to the Private Funds. The Investment Management and GP Entities do not provide investment advisory or other management services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. Interests in the Private Funds are offered only to certain sophisticated and accredited investors on the basis of exemptions from the registration requirements of the federal securities laws and are not publicly available. See Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Revenue Recognition,” for a further description of the management fees and incentive allocations earned by the Investment Management and GP Entities with respect to these services.
The Onshore GP may, in its sole discretion, elect to reduce or waive the incentive allocation with respect to the capital account of any limited partner of the Onshore Fund. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, an incentive allocation which was previously accrued was reversed in the amount of $10.8 million due to the negative performance of the Private Funds. For the three months ended, September 30, 2006, an incentive allocation of $13.0 million was accrued. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, an incentive allocation of $28.8 million and $38.5 million, respectively, was accrued. Such amounts are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

The Offshore GP may, in its sole discretion, elect to reduce or waive the incentive allocation with respect to the capital account of any limited partner of the Offshore Master Funds. For the three months ended September 30, 2007, an incentive allocation, which was previously accrued from certain Offshore Master Funds, was reversed in the amount of $16.4 million due to the negative performance of certain Private Funds. This reversal was partially offset by incentive allocations of $1.4 million which were earned in other Private Funds. For the three months ended, September 30, 2006, an incentive allocation of $25.9 million was accrued. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, an incentive allocation of $66.0 million and $66.1 million, respectively, was accrued. Such amounts are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.
As described in further detail in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Revenue Recognition,” pursuant to the Management Agreements, New Icahn Management typically is entitled to receive certain quarterly management fees. From August 8, 2007 through September 30, 2007, New Icahn Management earned $21.4 million in such management fees. Such amounts received from the Onshore Fund and the consolidated Offshore Funds are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.
In addition, pursuant to the provisions of a deferred fee arrangement, Icahn Management was eligible to defer receipt of all or a portion of the management fee earned from the Offshore Funds during a particular fiscal quarter in a fiscal year, and to have a portion or all of the deferred fee invested either in the same manner as the applicable Offshore Fund’s other assets, or in another manner approved by both the applicable Offshore Fund and Icahn Management. The value of such deferred amounts constitutes a liability of the applicable Offshore Fund to Icahn Management. Any amounts invested under the provisions of the deferred fee arrangement continue for all purposes to be part of the general assets of the applicable Offshore Funds and generally earn the same return as other investors (except where fees are waived), and Icahn Management has no proprietary interest in any such assets. At September 30, 2007, the balance of deferred management fees payable to Icahn Management was $146.9 million.
Icahn Management elected to defer an aggregate of 94% and 95% of the management fees from the Offshore Funds and such amounts remain invested in the applicable Offshore Funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the amounts of management fees elected to be deferred were $51.5 million and $27.9 million, respectively; in addition, the appreciation earned thereon was $13.8 million and $9.5 million, for the same corresponding periods.
Under separate deferred compensation employment agreements, certain employees are entitled to receive a percentage of the management fees, as defined in their agreements. As of September 30, 2007, deferred compensation related to management fees of Icahn Management amounted to $12.3 million, which included appreciation since inception on such deferred amounts of $2.8 million. As of December 31, 2006, deferred compensation related to management fees amounted to $6.7 million, which included appreciation since inception on such deferred amounts of $1.7 million. See Note 13, “Compensation Arrangements,” for additional information regarding these agreements.
Icahn & Co. LLC and certain other entities beneficially owned by Carl C. Icahn and affiliates of Icahn Management (collectively “Icahn Affiliates”) have paid for the salaries and benefits of employees who perform various functions including accounting, administrative, investment, legal and tax services. Under a separate expense-sharing agreement, Icahn Affiliates have charged Icahn Management (for periods prior to the acquisition on August 8, 2007) and New Icahn Management (for periods subsequent to the acquisition on August 8, 2007) for a portion of these expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the amounts charged to Icahn Management and New Icahn Management in the aggregate were $3.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, the amounts charged to Icahn Management and New Icahn Management in the aggregate were $9.4 million and $5.8 million,

respectively. Management believes that all allocated amounts are reasonable based upon the nature of the services provided (e.g. occupancy, salaries and benefits).
Icahn Affiliates have paid rent for the occupancy of space shared with the Investment Management and GP Entities. Icahn Management (for the periods prior to the acquisition on August 8, 2007) and New Icahn Management (for periods subsequent to the acquisition on August 8, 2007) were charged an aggregate of $.3 million and $.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. See Note 5b, Holding Company and Other Operations, below for additional information regarding allocations between the Holding Company and the Investment Management and GP Entities for the period subsequent to the acquisition on August 8, 2007.
In addition, certain expenses borne by the Investment Management and GP Entities have been reimbursed by Icahn Affiliates, as appropriate and when such expenses were incurred. The expenses included investment-specific expenses for investments acquired by both the Private Funds and Icahn Affiliates which are allocated based on the amounts invested by each party, as well as investment management-related expenses which are allocated based on estimated usage agreed upon by both the Investment Management and GP Entities and the Icahn Affiliates.
b. Holding Company and Other Operations
In July 2005, we entered into a license agreement with an affiliate for the non-exclusive use of approximately 1,514 square feet of office space. The license agreement was amended effective August 8, 2007 to reflect an increase in our portion of the office space to approximately 4,246 square feet, or approximately 64.76% of the total space leased to the affilate (of which 3,125 is allocated to the Investment Management and GP Entities). Under the amended license agreement, effective August 8, 2007, the monthly base rent is approximately $147,500, of which approximately $39,000 is allocated to the Holding Company and approximately $108,500 is allocated to the Investment Management and GP Entities. We also pay 64.76% of the additional rent payable under the license agreement which is allocated 17.10% to the Holding Company and 47.66% to the Investment Management and GP Entities. The license agreement expires in May 2012. Under the amended agreement, base rent is subject to increases in July 2008 and December 2011. Additionally, we are entitled to certain annual rent credits each December through December 2011. For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we paid rent of approximately $40,000 and $54,000 respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we paid rent of approximately $108,000 and $139,000, respectively.
An affiliate occupies a portion of certain office space leased by us. Monthly payments from the affiliate for the use of the space began on October 12, 2006. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we received $20,000 and $60,000, respectively, for the use of such space.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, we paid $124,000 and $189,000, respectively, to XO Holdings, Inc., formerly known as XO Communications, Inc., an affiliate of our general partner, for telecommunication services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, these charges were $439,000 and $607,000, respectively.
An affiliate provided certain professional services to WPI for which WPI incurred charges of approximately $97,000 and $57,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $346,000 and $196,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
We provide certain professional services to affiliates for which we charged $225,000 and $219,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $550,000 and $479,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Investments in Variable Interest Entities
The Investment Management and GP Entities consolidate certain VIEs when they are determined to be their primary beneficiary, either directly or indirectly through other consolidated subsidiaries. The assets of the consolidated VIEs are primarily classified within cash and cash equivalents and securities owned, at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets. The liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are primarily classified within securities sold, not yet purchased, at fair value, subscriptions received in advance and redemptions payable in the consolidated balance sheets and are non-recourse to the Investment Management and GP Entities’ general credit.
The consolidated VIEs consist of the Offshore Fund and each of the Offshore Master Funds, whose purpose and activities are further described in Note 1, “Description of Business and Basis of Presentation.” The Investment Management and GP Entities sponsored the formation of and manage each of these VIEs and, in some cases, have a principal investment therein.

As described in Note 17, “Subsequent Events,” subsequent to September 30, 2007, the Holding Company invested an additional $466.0 million in the Onshore Fund, for a total of $700.0 million, for which no management fees or incentive allocations are applicable.
Investment in Lear Corporation
On February 9, 2007, we, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (as amended on July 9, 2007), or the merger agreement, pursuant to which we would acquire Lear Corporation, or Lear. On July 16, 2007, at Lear’s 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the merger did not receive the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Lear’s common stock. As a result, the merger agreement terminated in accordance with its terms. As required by the merger agreement, in connection with the termination, Lear paid to our subsidiary a break-up fee of $12.5 million in cash and issued to the subsidiary 335,570 shares of Lear’s common stock, resulting in a net gain of $21.4 million recorded in the third quarter. As discussed in Note 16, “Commitments and Contingencies,” Icahn Enterprises remains a party to an action filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware challenging the payment to Icahn Enterprises of a break-up fee as provided in the merger agreement.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2007, we adopted the fair value option pursuant to SFAS No. 159 to Lear Corporation common stock which became eligible for the fair value option at the time we first recognized it in our consolidated financial statements. We have adopted SFAS No. 159 to our investment in Lear Corporation common stock to be consistent with the Private Funds’ accounting for their investment in Lear Corporation common stock. We record unrealized gains and losses for the change in fair value of such shares as a component of net gain (loss) from investment activities in the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30, 2007, the fair value of Lear Corporation common stock owned by us amounted to approximately $10.8 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded $1.7 million in unrealized losses resulting from the change in market value of Lear common stock. As of September 30, 2007, the total shares of Lear Corporation common stock held by the Holding Company as a percentage of Lear Corporation’s total outstanding shares was approximately 0.4%. Lear Corporation is an SEC reporting company and its consolidated financial consolidated statements are available at www.sec.gov.

Investment in ImClone Systems Incorporated
As described in Note 2, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” we adopted SFAS No. 159 as of January 1, 2007 and elected to apply the fair value option to our investment in ImClone at the time of adoption. Previously, we accounted for our investment in ImClone under the equity method in accordance with APB 18. The transition adjustment to beginning partners’ equity as of January 1, 2007 related to the adoption of SFAS No. 159 was a charge of approximately $42.2 million. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, we recorded approximately $27.2 million and $66.5 million of unrealized gains, respectively, resulting from the change in the market value of ImClone’s stock.
At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the carrying value of our equity investment in ImClone was $188.7 million based on the fair value method of accounting and $164.3 million based on the equity method of accounting, respectively. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the market value of our ImClone shares held was $188.7 million and $122.2 million, respectively, which we believe is not material to our total assets. As of September 30, 2007, the total shares of ImClone common stock held by us as a percentage of ImClone’s total outstanding shares was approximately 5.3%. ImClone is an SEC reporting company and its consolidated financial statements are available at www.sec.gov.
Other Securities
The carrying value of other securities was $14.1 million and $15.6 million as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Included in other securities is an investment of 4.4% of the common stock of Philip Services Corporation, an entity controlled by related parties. The investment has a cost basis of $0.7 million, which is net of significant impairment charges taken in prior years.

Note 7 — Fair Value Measurements
We adopted SFAS No. 157 as of January 1, 2007, which, among other things, requires enhanced disclosures about investments that are measured and reported at fair value. SFAS No. 157 establishes a hierarchal disclosure framework that prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring investments at fair value. Market price observability is impacted by a number of factors, including the type of investment and the characteristics specific to the investment. Investments with readily available active quoted prices or for which fair value can be measured from actively quoted prices generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Investments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1 — Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date. The type of investments included in Level I include listed equities and listed derivatives. As required by SFAS No. 157, we do not adjust the quoted price for these investments, even in situations where we hold a large position and a sale could reasonably impact the quoted price.
Level 2 — Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Investments which are generally included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives.
Level 3 — Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs into the determination of fair value require significant management judgment or estimation.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the investment.
The following table summarizes the valuation of our investments by the above SFAS No. 157 fair value hierarchy levels as of September 30, 2007 (in $000s) consolidated.

a. Investment Management
The Private Funds maintain their cash deposits with a major financial institution. Certain account balances may not be covered by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, while other accounts, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. We believe that the risk is not significant. Substantially all of the Onshore Fund’s and the Offshore Master Funds’ investments are held by, and its depository and clearing operations are transacted by, two prime brokers. The prime brokers are highly capitalized and members of major securities exchanges.
In the normal course of business, the Private Funds trade various financial instruments and enter into certain investment activities, which may give rise to off-balance-sheet risk. Currently, the Private Funds invest in futures, options and securities sold, not yet purchased. These financial instruments represent future commitments to purchase or sell other financial instruments or to exchange an amount of cash based on the change in an underlying instrument at specific terms at specified future dates. Risks arise with these financial instruments from potential counter-party non-performance and from changes in the market values of underlying instruments.
Securities sold, not yet purchased represent obligations of the Private Funds to deliver the specified security, thereby creating a liability to repurchase the security in the market at prevailing prices. Accordingly, these transactions result in off-balance-sheet risk, as the Private Funds’ satisfaction of the obligations may exceed the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Private Funds’ investments in securities and amounts due from broker are partially restricted until the Private Funds satisfy the obligation to deliver the securities sold, not yet purchased.
The Private Funds also may purchase and write option contracts. As a writer of option contracts, the Private Funds receive a premium at the outset and then bear the market risk of unfavorable changes in the price of the underlying financial instrument. As a result of writing option contracts, the Private Funds are obligated to purchase or sell, at the holder’s option, the underlying financial instrument. Accordingly, these transactions result in off-balance-sheet risk, as the Private Funds’ satisfaction of the obligations may exceed the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Private Funds write put options that may require them to purchase assets from the option holder and generally are net settled in cash at a specified date in the future. At September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the maximum payout amounts relating to written put options were $570.3 million and $510.5 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the carrying amounts of the liability under written put options recorded within securities sold, not yet purchased, at fair value were $5.6 million and $0, respectively.

Note 8 — Financial Instruments, Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Concentrations of Credit Risk – (continued)
The Private Funds have entered into total return swap contracts that involve an exchange of cash flows based on a commitment to pay a variable rate of interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount. The market-linked return may include, among other things, the total return of a security or index.
The Private Funds trade futures contracts. A futures contract is a firm commitment to buy or sell a specified quantity of a standardized amount of a deliverable grade commodity, security, currency or cash at a specified price and specified future date unless the contract is closed before the delivery date. Payments (or variation margin) are made or received by the Private Funds each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the value of the contract, and the whole value change is recorded an as an unrealized gain or loss by the Private Funds. When the contract is closed, the Private Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The Private Funds utilize forward contracts to protect their assets denominated in foreign currencies from losses due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. The Private Funds’ exposure to credit risk associated with non-performance of forward foreign currency contracts is limited to the unrealized gains inherent in such contracts, which are recognized in unrealized losses on derivative, futures and foreign currency contracts, at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets.
b. Holding Company and Other Operations
We have entered into total return swap contracts that involve an exchange of cash flows based on a commitment to pay a variable rate of interest in exchange for a market-linked return based on a notional amount.

a. Investment Management
The Investment Funds and the Offshore Fund are consolidated into our financial statements even though we only have a minority interest in the equity and income of these funds. As a result, our consolidated financial statements reflect the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and cash flows of these funds on a gross basis, rather than reflecting only the value of our investments in such funds. As of September 30, 2007, the net asset value of the consolidated Private Funds on our consolidated balance sheet was $7.1 billion, while the net asset value of our investments in these consolidated funds was approximately $355.9 million. The majority ownership interests in these funds, which represent the portion of the consolidated Private Funds’ net assets and net income attributable to the limited partners and shareholders in the consolidated Private Funds for the periods presented, are reflected as non-controlling interests in consolidated entities — Investment Management in the consolidated balance sheets and non-controlling interests in income of consolidated entities — Investment Management in the consolidated statements of operations.
b. Holding Company and Other Operations
The minority interest in Atlantic Coast was reduced primarily as a result of the settlement of the litigation relating to GBH, in February 2007. As a result, our ownership in Atlantic Coast increased from 67.6% to 96.9%. In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, we and several other investors exercised warrants to purchase

Senior Unsecured Variable Rate Convertible Notes Due 2013 — Icahn Enterprises
In April 2007, Icahn Enterprises issued an aggregate of $600.0 million of variable rate senior convertible notes due 2013, or the variable rate notes. The variable rate notes were sold in a private placement pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”), and issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of April 5, 2007, by and among Icahn Enterprises, as issuer, Icahn Enterprises Finance Corp., or IEF, which was formerly known as American Real Estate Finance Corp., as co-issuer, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee. IEF, our wholly owned subsidiary, was formed solely for the purpose of serving as a co-issuer of debt securities in order to facilitate offerings of the debt securities. The variable rate notes bear interest at a rate of three month LIBOR minus 125 basis points, but no less than 4.0% nor higher than 5.5%, and are convertible into depositary units of Icahn Enterprises at a conversion price of $132.595 per share, subject to adjustments in certain circumstances. As of September 30, 2007, the interest rate was 4.1%. In the event that Icahn Enterprises declares a cash dividend or similar cash distribution in any calendar quarter with respect to its depositary units in an amount in excess of $0.10 per depositary unit (as adjusted for splits, reverse splits, and/or stock dividends), the indenture requires that Icahn Enterprises simultaneously makes such distribution to holders of the variable rate convertible notes in accordance with a formula set forth in the indenture.
The variable rate notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. In connection with the sale of the variable rate convertible notes, Icahn Enterprises and the initial buyers have entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which Icahn Enterprises has agreed to file a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with respect to resales of depositary units issuable upon conversion of the variable rate convertible notes. A registration statement on Form S-3 with respect thereto was filed on June 21, 2007. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, the registration statement must be declared effective by the SEC on or before December 31, 2007. Otherwise, Icahn Enterprises shall pay to the holders of the variable rate notes $2.0 million in the aggregate in additional interest for

Senior Unsecured 7.125% Notes Due 2013 — Icahn Enterprises
On February 7, 2005, Icahn Enterprises issued $480.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% senior unsecured notes due 2013, or the 7.125% notes, priced at 100% of principal amount. The 7.125% notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated February 7, 2005 among Icahn Enterprises, as issuer, IEF as co-issuer, IEH, as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee (referred to herein as the 2005 Indenture). Other than IEH, no other subsidiaries guarantee payment on the notes.
On January 16, 2007, Icahn Enterprises issued an additional $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.125% notes, or the additional 7.125% notes (the 7.125% notes and the additional 7.125% notes being referred to herein as the notes), priced at 98.4% of par, or at a discount of 1.6%, pursuant to the 2005 Indenture. The notes have a fixed annual interest rate of 7.125%, which is paid every six months on February 15 and August 15 and will mature on February 15, 2013. At the time Icahn Enterprises issued the additional 7.125% notes, it entered into a new registration rights agreement in which it agreed to permit noteholders to exchange the private notes for new notes which will be registered under the Securities Act. A registration statement on Form S-4 with respect thereto was filed on June 21, 2007. Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, the registration statement must be declared effective by the SEC on or before November 13, 2007. Since the registration statement was not declared effective in a timely manner, Icahn Enterprises is required to pay to the holders of the additional notes liquidated damages in an amount equal to $0.05 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of the additional notes for each week or portion thereof that the registration statement has not been declared effective for the first 90-day period following November 13, 2007, with such liquidated damages increasing by an additional $0.05 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of the additional notes with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until the registration statement has been declared effective, up to a maximum amount of liquidated damages of $0.50 per week per $1,000 in principal amount of the additional notes. All such accrued liquidated damages shall be paid by Icahn Enterprises on each February 15th and August 15th until the registration statement has been declared effective.
As described below, the indenture governing the 7.125% notes restrict the ability of Icahn Enterprises and IEH, subject to certain exceptions, to, among other things: incur additional debt; pay dividends or make distributions; repurchase units; create liens; and enter into transactions with affiliates.

On May 12, 2004, we and IEF co-issued senior unsecured 8.125% notes due 2012, or the 8.125% notes, in the aggregate principal amount of $353.0 million. The 8.125% notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of May 12, 2004, among us, IEF, IEH, as guarantor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as trustee. The 8.125% notes were priced at 99.266% of principal amount and have a fixed annual interest rate of 8.125%, which is paid every six months on June 1 and December 1, since December 1, 2004. The 8.125% notes will mature on June 1, 2012. Other than IEH, no other subsidiaries guarantee payment on the notes.
As described below, the indenture governing the 8.125% notes restrict the ability of Icahn Enterprises and IEH, subject to certain exceptions, to, among other things: incur additional debt; pay dividends or make distributions; repurchase units; create liens; and enter into transactions with affiliates.

the issuance of disqualified stock, as defined, with certain exceptions, provided that Icahn Enterprises may incur debt or issue disqualified stock if, immediately after such incurrence or issuance, the ratio of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding indebtedness of Icahn Enterprises and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis to the tangible net worth of Icahn Enterprises and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis would be less than 1.75 to 1.0. As of September 30, 2007, such ratio was less than 1.75 to 1.0.
The indentures also restrict the creation of liens, mergers, consolidations and sales of substantially all of Icahn Enterprises’ assets, and transactions with affiliates.
The indentures governing the senior unsecured notes require that on each quarterly determination date Icahn Enterprises and the guarantor of the notes (currently only IEH) maintain a minimum ratio of cash flow to fixed charges, each as defined, of 1.5 to 1.0, for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently completed prior to such quarterly determination date. For the four fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2007, the ratio of cash flow to fixed charges was greater than 1.5 to 1.0.
The indentures also require, on each quarterly determination date, that the ratio of total unencumbered assets, as defined, to the principal amount of unsecured indebtedness, as defined, be greater than 1.5 to 1.0 as of the last day of the most recently completed fiscal quarter. As of September 30, 2007, such ratio was in excess of 1.5 to 1.0. Based on this ratio, as of September 30, 2007, Icahn Enterprises and IEH could have incurred up to approximately $1.2 billion of additional indebtedness.
Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility — Icahn Enterprises
On August 21, 2006, Icahn Enterprises and IEF, as the borrowers, and certain of its subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into a credit agreement with Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc., as administrative agent, and certain other lenders. Under the credit agreement, Icahn Enterprises is permitted to borrow up to $150.0 million, including a $50.0 million sublimit that may be used for letters of credit. Borrowings under the agreement, which are based on Icahn Enterprises’ credit rating, bear interest at LIBOR plus 100 to 200 basis points. Icahn Enterprises pays an unused line fee of 25 to 50 basis points of total line of credit. As of September 30, 2007, there were no borrowings under the facility.
Obligations under the credit agreement are guaranteed and secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of certain of our indirect wholly owned Holding Company subsidiaries. The credit agreement has a term of four years and all amounts are due and payable on August 21, 2010.

Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility — ACEP
Effective May 11, 2006, ACEP, and certain of ACEP’s subsidiaries, as guarantors, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank N.A., as syndication agent, Bear Stearns Corporate Lending Inc., as administrative agent, and certain other lenders. As of September 30, 2007, the interest rate on the outstanding borrowings under the credit facility was 6.63% per annum. The credit agreement amends and restates, and is on substantially the same terms as, a credit agreement entered into as of January 29, 2004. Under the amended and restated credit agreement, ACEP will be permitted to borrow up to $60.0 million. Obligations under the credit agreement are secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of ACEP and its subsidiaries. The credit agreement has a term of four years and all amounts are due and payable on May 10, 2010. As of September 30, 2007, there were $40.0 million of borrowings under the credit agreement. The borrowings were incurred to finance a portion of the purchase price of the Aquarius.
The credit agreement includes covenants that, among other things, restrict the incurrence of additional indebtedness by ACEP and its subsidiaries, the issuance of disqualified or preferred stock, as defined, the creation of liens by ACEP or its subsidiaries, the sale of assets, mergers, consolidations or sales of substantially all of ACEP’s assets, the lease or grant of a license or concession, other agreements to occupy, manage or use ACEP’s assets, the issuance of capital stock of restricted subsidiaries and certain related party transactions.

As of September 30, 2007, such ratio was less than 1.0 to 1.0.
The restrictions imposed by ACEP’s senior secured notes and the credit facility likely will limit our receiving payments from the operations of our hotel and gaming properties.
As described in Note 4, “Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale,” on April 22, 2007, AEP entered into an agreement to sell all of the issued and outstanding membership interests of ACEP. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, AEP is required to cause ACEP to repay from funds provided by AEP, the principal, interest, prepayment penalty or premiums due on ACEP’s 7.85% senior secured notes due 2012 and ACEP’s senior secured credit facility.

Home pays an unused line fee of 0.25% to 0.275%. Obligations under the agreement are secured by WestPoint Home’s receivables and inventory.
The agreement contains covenants including, among others, restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness, investments, redemption payments, distributions, acquisition of stock, securities or assets of any other entity and capital expenditures. However, WestPoint Home is not precluded from effecting any of these transactions if excess availability, after giving effect to such transaction, meets a minimum threshold.

Note 13 — Compensation Arrangements
Investment Management
The Investment Management and GP Entities have entered into agreements with certain of their employees whereby these employees have been granted rights to participate in a portion of the management fees and incentive allocations earned by the Investment Management and GP Entities, net of certain expenses, and subject to various vesting provisions. The vesting period of these rights is generally between two to seven years, and such rights expire at the end of the contractual term of each respective employment agreement. Up to 100% of the amounts earned annually under such rights may be deferred for a period not to exceed ten years from the date of deferral, based on an annual election made by the employee for the upcoming fiscal year's respective management fee and incentive allocation rights. These amounts remain invested in the Private Funds and generally earn the rate of return of these funds, before the effects of any management fees or incentive allocations, which are waived on such deferred amounts. Accordingly, these rights are accounted for as liabilities in accordance with SFAS No. 123R and remeasured at fair value each reporting period until settlement.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS No. 123R, the Investment Management and GP Entities had accounted for such rights under APB 25, which measured the liability at intrinsic value. The adoption of SFAS No. 123R and the remeasurement of all previously outstanding rights did not have any impact on the consolidated financial statements as the intrinsic value of these awards, as further described herein, approximates their fair value.
The fair value of amounts deferred under these rights is determined at the end of each reporting period based, in part, on the (i) fair value of the underlying net assets of the Private Funds, upon which the respective management fees and incentive allocations are based, and (ii) performance of the funds in which the deferred amounts are reinvested. The carrying value of such amounts represents the allocable management fees or incentive fees initially deferred and the appreciation or depreciation on any reinvested deferrals. These amounts approximate fair value because the appreciation or depreciation on the deferrals is based on the fair value of the Private Funds' investments, which are marked-to-market through earnings on a quarterly basis.
The Investment Management and GP Entities recorded compensation expense of $2.4 million and $3.5 million related to these rights for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, which is included in costs and expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. The Investment Management and GP Entities recorded compensation expense of $19.0 million and $9.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Compensation expense arising from deferral arrangements is recognized in the consolidated financial statements over the vesting period. Accordingly, unvested balances of deferred management fee and incentive fee income allocations to certain employees are not reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred amounts not yet recognized as compensation expense within the consolidated statements of operations were $12.2 million and $8.0 million as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average of 4.3 years. Cash paid to settle rights that had vested and had been withdrawn for the three and nine months ended

The liabilities incurred by Icahn Management related to the rights granted to certain employees to participate in a portion of the management fees earned by Icahn Management remained with Icahn Management upon the execution of the Contribution Agreement on August 8, 2007. However, because the employees to which these rights were granted became employees of New Icahn Management on August 8, 2007. New Icahn Management recognizes the future compensation expense associated with the unvested portion of rights granted by Icahn Management, even though such liability will be settled by an affiliated entity.
Note 14 — Segment Reporting
Through the quarter ended June 30, 2006, or the second quarter of fiscal 2006, we maintained the following six reportable segments: (1) Oil and Gas; (2) Gaming; (3) Rental Real Estate; (4) Property Development; (5) Associated Resort Activities; and (6) Home Fashion. In November 2006, we divested our Oil and Gas segment and our Atlantic City gaming properties. On April 22, 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell our Nevada gaming operations, which comprised our remaining gaming operations. As a result, our Oil and Gas segment and our Gaming segment are now classified as discontinued operations and thus are not considered reportable segments of our continuing operations, as described in Note 4, “Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale.”
The three related operating lines of our Real Estate segment are all individually immaterial and have been aggregated for purposes of reporting financial information related to its operations.
We now maintain the following remaining reportable segments: (1) Investment Management; (2) Real Estate and (3) Home Fashion. Our Investment Management segment provides investment advisory and certain management services to the Private Funds, but does not provide such services to any other entities, individuals or accounts. Our Real Estate segment includes rental real estate that primarily consists of fee and leasehold properties in 16 states as of September 30, 2007 and 19 states as of December 30, 2006, property development that is primarily focused on the construction and sale of single-family houses and residential developments and the operation of resort properties associated with our residential developments. Our Home Fashion segment, through our subsidiary, WPI, markets a broad range of manufactured and sourced bed, bath and basic bedding products.
We assess and measure segment operating results based on segment earnings as disclosed below. Segment earnings from operations are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements, nor synonymous with cash flow from operations. As discussed above, the terms of financings for the Home Fashion and Real Estate segments impose restrictions on their ability to transfer funds to us, including restrictions on dividends, distributions, loans and other transactions.
In the table below the Investment Management segment is represented by the first four columns. The first column, entitled Investment Management and GP Entities, represents the results of operations of the investment management segment without the impact of eliminations arising from the consolidation of the Private Funds. This includes the gross amount of management fees, incentive allocations and returns on investments in the Private Funds that are attributable to Icahn Enterprises Holdings only. The second column represents the total consolidated income and expenses of the Private Funds for all investors, including Icahn Enterprises Holdings, before eliminations. The third column represents the eliminations required in order to arrive at our consolidated U.S. GAAP reported income for the segment.

Note 15 — Income Taxes
We recorded the following income tax expense (benefit) attributable to continuing operations for the periods indicated as follows (in $000s):
 | |  | |  | |  | |  |
| | Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| | 2007 | | 2006 | | 2007 | | 2006 |

Deferred | | | 2,094 | | | | 1,041 | | | | 4,439 | | | | 1,190 | |
| | $ | 9,772 | | | $ | 1,081 | | | $ | 13,267 | | | $ | 1,720 | |
We recorded income tax provisions of $13.3 million and $1.7 million on pre-tax income of $592.7 million and $538.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our effective income tax rate was 2.2% and 0.32% for the respective periods. We recorded income tax provisions of $9.8 million and $1.1 million on pre-tax loss of $100.8 million and pre-tax income of $200.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Our effective tax rate was (9.7)% and 0.5% for the respective periods. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory federal rate of 35% is due principally to income or losses from partnership entities in which taxes are the responsibility of the partners, as well as changes in valuation allowances.
We adopted the provisions of FIN 48, on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
As of the date of adoption, our unrecognized tax benefits totaled $5.0 million, all of which, if recognized, would affect the annual effective tax rate. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the amount of unrecognized tax benefits decreased by $3.1 million due to the expiration of statutes of limitations.
We recognize interest accrued related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense. Penalties are recognized as a component of income tax expense. The amount of accrued interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions was $0.5 million and $1.1 million as September 30, 2007 and January 1, 2007, respectively. The decrease in the accrued interest during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 is a result of the decrease in the unrecognized tax benefit recorded during the period.

Note 15 — Income Taxes – (continued)
We or certain of our subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions and various non-U.S. jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. income tax examinations for fiscal years prior to 2003.
Note 16 — Commitments and Contingencies
We are from time to time parties to various legal proceedings arising out of our businesses. We believe however, that other than the proceedings described in Part I, Item 3 of our 2006 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 6, 2007, including that relating to WPI and Lear discussed below, there are no proceedings pending or threatened against us which, if determined adversely, would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
WPI Litigation
Federal Proceedings
In November and December 2005, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, or the District Court, rendered a decision in Contrarian Funds LLC v. WestPoint Stevens, Inc. et al., and issued orders reversing certain provisions of the Bankruptcy Court order (the “Sale Order”), pursuant to which we acquired our ownership of a majority of the common stock of WPI. WPI acquired substantially all of the assets of WestPoint Stevens, Inc. The District Court remanded to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings.
On April 13, 2006, the Bankruptcy Court entered a remand order (the “Remand Order”), which provided, among other things, that all of the shares of common stock and rights to acquire shares of common stock of WPI issued to us and the other first lien lenders or held in escrow pursuant to the Sale Order constituted “replacement collateral.” The Bankruptcy Court held that the 5,250,000 shares of common stock that we acquired for cash were not included in the replacement collateral. The Bankruptcy Court also held that, in the event of a sale of the collateral, including the sale of the shares we received upon exercise of certain subscription rights (the “Exercise Shares”), all proceeds would be distributed,pro rata, among all first lien lenders, including us, until the first lien debt was satisfied, in full. The parties filed cross-appeals of the Remand Order.
On October 9, 2007, the District Court entered an Order (the “October 9th Order”) on the appeal and cross-appeal. The District Court affirmed the Remand Order but held that, as to the Exercise Shares, any sale proceeds would be divided between us and the first lien lenders (including us), generally based upon the ratio of the amount we paid to exercise the rights to the total value of the Exercise Shares on the date they were acquired. We are holders of approximately 39.99% of the outstanding first lien debt and approximately 51.21% of the outstanding second lien debt.
We have the right to appeal the October 9th Order to the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Contrarian Funds, LLC and the other first lien lenders who had appealed to the District Court similarly have a right to appeal to the Second Circuit. As part of that appeal, the parties have the right to raise issues relating to the District Court’s November 2005 Opinion, and the Orders entered thereon, as well as relating to the October 9th Order.
Delaware Proceedings
On October 3, 2007, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in and for New Castle County (“the Chancery Court”), issued a Limited Status Quo Order (“the Order”), inBeal Bank, S.S.B., et. al. v. WestPoint International, Inc. et. al.,in connection with the complaint filed on January 19, 2007, as amended, by Beal Bank, S.S.B. and certain creditors of WestPoint Stevens, Inc., collectively, the Plaintiffs. The Order required that WPI and subsidiaries (collectively referred to herein as “WPI”) seek a further court order, obtain consent, or give notice before engaging in certain actions. On October 15, 2007, the Chancery Court issued a Modified

Limited Status Quo Order (the “Modified Order”), modifying certain provisions of the prior order to permit WPI and its subsidiaries to conduct ordinary course of business activities without further notice, consent, or order, including (i) ordinary course of business sales and purchases provided any particular transaction does not exceed $20.0 million and (ii) transfers of excess inventory, unused equipment and/or unused real property to an unrelated third party provided the sale price for any particular real property transaction does not exceed $30.0 million.
We continue to vigorously defend against all claims asserted in the Federal and Delaware proceedings and believe that we have valid defenses. However, we cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings or the ultimate impact on our investment in WPI and its subsidiaries or the business prospects of WPI and its subsidiaries.
Lear Corporation
Icahn Enterprises was named as a defendant in various actions filed in connection with its proposed merger agreement with Lear. The Lear shareholders rejected the merger and the merger agreement has terminated. Icahn Enterprises remains a party to an action filed in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware challenging the payment of a break-up fee as provided in the merger agreement. We intend to vigorously defend the Delaware action but we cannot predict the outcome of the action.

Note A — Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
1. Organization
Icahn Enterprises G.P. Inc. (“IEGP” or “the Company”), which was formerly known as American Property Investors, Inc., is the general partner of both Icahn Enterprises L.P. (“Icahn Enterprises”) and Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P. (“IEH”). IEGP has 1% general partnership interest in both Icahn Enterprises and IEH. IEGP is a wholly owned subsidiary of Becton Corporation (“Becton”) which in turn is owned by Carl C. Icahn. Mr. Icahn also owns, indirectly, approximately 90% of the limited partnership interests of Icahn Enterprises, a New York Stock Exchange master limited partnership.
2. Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all temporary cash investments with maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
3. Use of Estimates
Management of the Company has made certain estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statement to prepare this balance sheet in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
4. Income Taxes
The Company and its parent have elected and the stockholders have consented, under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, to report their income for Federal income tax purposes as a Subchapter S Corporation. The stockholders report their respective shares of the net taxable income or loss on their personal tax returns. Accordingly, no liability has been accrued for current or deferred Federal income taxes related to the operations of the Company in the accompanying balance sheet. State and local taxes are de minimus.
5. Investments in Partnerships
The Company evaluates its investments in partially-owned entities in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, or FIN 46R. If the partially-owned entity is a “variable interest entity,” or a “VIE,” and that the Company is the “primary beneficiary” as defined in FIN 46R, the Company would account for such investment as if it were a consolidated subsidiary.
For a partnership investment which is not a VIE or in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, the Company follows the accounting set forth in AICPA Statement of Position No. 78-9 — Accounting for Investments in Real Estate Ventures (SOP 78-9). In accordance with this pronouncement, investments in joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method when its ownership interest is less than 50% and it does not exercise direct or indirect control. Factors that are considered in determining whether or not the Company exercises control include important rights of partners in significant business decisions, including dispositions and acquisitions of assets, financing and operating and capital budgets, board and management representation and authority and other contractual rights of the partners. To the extent that the Company is deemed to control these entities, these entities would be consolidated.
The Company has determined that Icahn Enterprises and IEH are not VIEs and therefore it accounts for these investments under the equity method of accounting as the limited partners have important rights as defined in SOP 78-9. This investment was recorded initially at cost and was subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings or losses and cash contributions and distributions as well as other comprehensive income/loss.
On a periodic basis the Company evaluates whether there are any indicators that the value of its investments in partnerships are impaired. An investment is considered to be impaired if the Company’s estimate of

the value of the investment is less than the carrying amount. The ultimate realization of the Company’s investments in partnerships is dependent on a number of factors including the performance of that entity and market conditions. If the Company determines that a decline in the value of a partnership is other than temporary, then the Company would record an impairment charge.
Note B — Investment in Partnerships
The Company has a 1% general partnership interest in both Icahn Enterprises and IEH. Icahn Enterprises is the 99% limited partner and holding company of IEH which is involved in the following operating businesses: (i) Oil & Gas; (ii) Gaming; (iii) Real Estate and (iv) Home Fashion.
The carrying amount of the investment in partnerships on the Company’s balance sheet is less than the underlying equity in the net assets of the partnerships by $376,748,000. This difference is as a result of adjustments reflected in Icahn Enterprises’ equity to account for certain acquisitions from affiliates of the general partner. The differences between the historical cost of companies acquired and the purchase price paid to the affiliates of the general partner were accounted for as contributions from or distributions to the general partner.
Subsequent Events
On August 8, 2007, Icahn Enterprises acquired the general partnership interests in the general partners of a group of private investment funds managed and controlled by Carl C. Icahn. In addition, Icahn Enterprises acquired the general partnership interests in a newly formed management company. The purchase price was $810 million of depositary units of Icahn Enterprises plus a five-year contingent earn-out payable in additional depositary units based on the achievement of specified net after-tax earnings from the general partners and the management company. In connection with this transaction, the Company contributed approximately $16.4 million to Icahn Enterprises to maintain ownership percentage in Icahn Enterprises in accordance with the partnership agreement.
