NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Company Overview
Interval Leisure Group, Inc., or ILG, is a leading global provider of membership and leisure services to the vacation industry. ILG consists of two operating segments. Membership and Exchange, our principal business segment, offers travel and leisure related products and services to owners of vacation interests and others primarily through various membership programs, as well as related services to resort developer clients. Management and Rental, our other business segment, provides hotel, condominium resort, timeshare resort and homeowners association management, and vacation rental services to both vacationers and vacation property owners.
The Membership and Exchange segment consists of Interval International Inc.'s businesses, referred to as Interval, and Trading Places International's, or TPI's, membership and exchange related line of business. The Management and Rental segment consists of Aston Hotels & Resorts, LLC and Maui Condo and Home, LLC, referred to as Aston, and TPI's management and rental related line of business.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of ILG's management, all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Interim results are not indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in ILG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.
Restatement of Prior Financial Statements
While implementing the accounting for certain new costs associated with our Interval Platinum membership product following the launch in March 2011, we discovered errors in our accounting for certain deferred membership costs. These errors primarily related to the period of time over which certain deferred membership costs were amortized into our consolidated statements of income. The impact of these prior period misstatements to our consolidated financial statements resulted in the understatement of cost of sales and sales and marketing expense with a corresponding overstatement of deferred membership costs over multiple fiscal years through December 31, 2010.
In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, an adjustment to the financial statements for each individual prior period presented is required to reflect the correction of the period-specific effects of the error, if material. Based on our evaluation of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors, we determined the identified misstatements are immaterial to ILG's individual prior period consolidated financial statements, however, the cumulative correction of the prior period errors would be material to our current year consolidated financial statements. Consequently, we have restated the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 and the opening December 31, 2010 balances presented in our consolidated statement of stockholders' equity as of September 30, 2011, appearing

herein, from amounts previously reported to correct the prior period misstatements by the write-off of the related deferred membership costs with a corresponding reduction to retained earnings.
The impact of these misstatements to our 2010 annual and interim consolidated statements of income and cash flows is inconsequential for restatement and, accordingly, such amounts have not been restated and have instead been corrected in the three months ended March 31, 2011. Additionally, the impact of these misstatements is inconsequential to our 2009 statement of cash flows as the impact to individual line items within operating activities is not material and there was no impact to net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing or financing activities. However, we will restate the 2009 statement of cash flows as it appears in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K to reflect changes to individual line items within operating activities.
The tables below summarize the effect of the restatement of previously reported consolidated financial statements for the periods that will be presented in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K (in thousands, except per share data).

cumulative after-tax effect of the prior period misstatements of approximately $3.2 million (net of tax of $1.9 million) will be presented in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K as a reduction to retained earnings as of January 1, 2009. In accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes" ("ASC 740"), the tax effect of these adjustments were recorded directly to retained earnings and to the related deferred income tax accounts for deferred membership costs.
Seasonality
Revenue at ILG is influenced by the seasonal nature of travel. The Membership and Exchange businesses recognize exchange and Getaway revenue based on confirmation of the vacation, with the first quarter generally experiencing higher revenue and the fourth quarter generally experiencing lower revenue. The Management and Rental businesses recognize rental revenue based on occupancy, with the first and third quarters generally generating higher revenue and the second and fourth quarters generally generating lower revenue.
NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies were described in Note 2 to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in our significant accounting policies for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.
Accounting Estimates
ILG's management is required to make certain estimates and assumptions during the preparation of its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements. They also impact the reported amount of net earnings during any period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates underlying the accompanying consolidated financial statements include: the recovery of goodwill and long-lived and other intangible assets; purchase price allocations; the determination of deferred income taxes including related valuation allowances; the determination of deferred revenue and membership costs; and the determination of stock-based compensation.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Treasury stock is excluded from the weighted average number of shares of common stock. Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities are common stock equivalents that are freely exercisable into common stock at less than market prices or otherwise dilute earnings if converted. The net effect of common stock equivalents is based on the incremental common stock that would be issued upon the assumed exercise of common stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units ("RSUs") using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are not included in diluted earnings per share when their inclusion is antidilutive. The computations of diluted earnings per share available to common stockholders do not include approximately 1.6 million stock options and RSUs for the three and nine

months ended September 30, 2011 and 1.4 million stock options and RSUs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, as the effect of their inclusion would have been antidilutive to earnings per share.
The computation of weighted average common and common equivalent shares used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in thousands):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements since the recent accounting pronouncements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 that are of significance, or potential significance, to ILG based on our current operations. The following summary of recent accounting pronouncements is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the respective pronouncement.
In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2011-08, "Testing Goodwill for Impairment" (amendments to ASC Topic 320-20, "Goodwill") ("ASU 2011-08"). ASU 2011-08 amends the testing of goodwill for impairment. Under the revised guidance, entities testing goodwill for impairment have the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of a reporting unit. If entities determine, on the basis of qualitative factors, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is below the carrying amount, the two-step impairment test would be required. The ASU does not change how goodwill is calculated or assigned to reporting units and it does not revise the requirement to test goodwill annually for impairment. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted. We adopted this guidance as of October 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, "Presentation of Comprehensive Income" ("ASU 2011-05"). ASU 2011-05 requires entities to report components of comprehensive income in either a continuous statement of other comprehensive income ("OCI") or two separate but consecutive statements. The ASU does not change the items that must be reported in OCI and does not require any incremental disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented in the

financial statements. Early adoption is permitted. While the guidance will impact the presentation within our financial statements, we do not anticipate the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, "Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS")" ("ASU 2011-04"). ASU 2011-04 provides a consistent definition of fair value to ensure that the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements are similar between U.S. GAAP and IFRS and provides clarification about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The ASU also expands certain other disclosure requirements, particularly pertaining to Level 3 fair value measurements. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and will be applied prospectively. Early application is not permitted. We are currently assessing the future impact, if any, of this new accounting update to our consolidated financial statements.
Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-02, "A Creditor's Determination of Whether Restructuring Is a Troubled Debt Restructuring" ("ASU 2011-02"). ASU 2011-02 provides additional guidance to creditors for evaluating whether a modification or restructuring of a receivable is a troubled debt restructuring. Specifically, creditors are required to consider whether the debtor is experiencing financial difficulties or whether the creditor has granted a concession. This guidance was effective for us for the first interim period beginning on or after June 15, 2011. We are required to apply this ASU retrospectively for all modifications and restructuring activities that have occurred from January 1, 2011. We adopted this guidance as of July 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-02 as of July 1, 2011 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.
In December 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-29, "Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations" ("ASU 2010-29"). ASU 2010-29 requires public entities that present comparative financial statements to disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though the business combination(s) that occurred during the year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. The ASU also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The ASU is effective prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. We adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2010-29 as of January 1, 2011 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.
In July 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-20, "Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses" ("ASU 2010-20"). ASU 2010-20 requires enhanced disclosures about the credit quality of financing receivables and the allowance for credit losses. These enhanced disclosures include, but are not limited to, a greater level of disaggregated and qualitative information about the credit quality of their financing receivables and their allowances for credit losses.

NOTE 2—SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
As of December 31, 2010, we adopted the required disclosures, which was effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending on or after December 15, 2010. As of January 1, 2011, we adopted the required disclosures about activity that occurs during a reporting period, which is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2010. The full adoption of ASU 2010-20 as of January 1, 2011 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, "Improving Disclosures About Fair Value Measurements," (amendments to ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures") ("ASU 2010-06") which requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair value measurements. The ASU also clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value. As of January 1, 2010, we adopted the requisite disclosures regarding significant transfers between Level 1 and 2 fair value measurements, which was effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. As of January 1, 2011, we adopted the required Level 3 reconciliation disclosures which were effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The full adoption of ASU 2010-06 as of January 1, 2011 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU 2009-13, "Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements," (amendments to ASC Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition") ("ASU 2009-13"). ASU 2009-13 updates the existing multiple-element revenue arrangements guidance included under ASC 605-25. The revised guidance modifies the criteria for recognizing revenue in multiple element arrangements and expands the disclosure requirements for revenue recognition. ASU 2009-13 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted provided that the revised guidance is retroactively applied to the beginning of the year of adoption. We prospectively adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2009-13 as of January 1, 2011 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures and is not expected to have a material effect in future periods based on multiple-element arrangements in effect at adoption. Additionally, as of January 1, 2011, the prospective adoption of this guidance did not result in any change in the units of accounting, the allocation of consideration to those units of accounting, or the pattern and timing of revenue recognition of our current multiple-element arrangements.
NOTE 3—GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
Pursuant to FASB guidance as codified within ASC 350, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other," goodwill acquired in business combinations is assigned to the reporting unit(s) expected to benefit from the combination as of the acquisition date. ILG considers our Membership and Exchange and Management and Rental segments to be individual reporting units which are also individual operating segments of ILG. ILG tests goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the

assets might be impaired. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit's goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived intangible asset exceeds its estimated fair value, an impairment loss equal to the excess is recorded.
As of October 1, 2010, we reviewed the carrying value of goodwill and other intangible assets of each of our reporting units. As of October 1, 2010, the Membership and Exchange and Management and Rental reporting units' goodwill was $474.7 million and $5.2 million, respectively. We performed the first step of the impairment test on both our reporting units and concluded that each reporting unit's fair value exceeded its carrying value and, therefore, the second step of the impairment test was not necessary.
From the date of our last impairment test, October 1, 2010, through September 30, 2011, we did not identify any triggering events that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of either of our reporting units below its carrying value which would have required an interim impairment test.

9.5% Interval Senior Notes
In connection with the spin-off of ILG from IAC/InterActiveCorp ("IAC"), on July 17, 2008, Interval Acquisition Corp., a subsidiary of ILG, ("Issuer") agreed to issue $300.0 million of aggregate principal amount of 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016 ("Interval Senior Notes") to IAC, and IAC agreed to exchange such Interval Senior Notes for certain of IAC's 7% senior unsecured notes due 2013 pursuant to a notes exchange and consent agreement. The issuance occurred on August 19, 2008 with original issue discount of $23.5 million, based on the difference between the interest rate on the notes and the effective interest rate that would have been payable on the notes if issued in a market transaction based on market conditions existing on July 17, 2008, the date of pricing, estimated to be 11%. The exchange occurred on August 20, 2008. Interest on the Interval Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on September 1 and March 1 of each year. The Interval Senior Notes are guaranteed by all entities that are domestic subsidiaries of the Issuer and by ILG.
The Interval Senior Notes are redeemable by the Issuer in whole or in part, on or after September 1, 2012, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, in the event of a change of control (as defined in the indenture), the Issuer is obligated to make an offer to all holders to purchase the Interval Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the face amount. The change of control put option is a derivative that, upon adoption of ASU 2010-08, is not required to be bifurcated from the host instrument. Prior to the adoption of ASU 2010-08, this derivative was not bifurcated as the value of the derivative was not material to our financial position and results of operations. Subject to specified exceptions, the Issuer is required to make an offer to purchase Interval Senior Notes at a price equal to 100% of the face amount, in the event the Issuer or its restricted subsidiaries complete one or more asset sales and more than $25.0 million of the aggregate net proceeds are not invested (or committed to be invested) in the business or used to repay senior debt within one year after receipt of such proceeds. The original issue discount is being amortized to "Interest expense" using the effective interest method through maturity.

NOTE 5—LONG-TERM DEBT (Continued)
Senior Secured Credit Facility
In connection with the spin-off of ILG, on July 25, 2008, the Issuer entered into a senior secured credit facility with a maturity of five years, which consists of a $150.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan"), of which $61.0 million is outstanding at September 30, 2011, and a $50.0 million revolving credit facility.
As of September 30, 2011, the remaining principal amount of the Term Loan is payable quarterly through July 25, 2013 ($4.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and approximately $18.9 million quarterly thereafter). During 2010, we paid $40.0 million of principal payments on the Term Loan, which included voluntary prepayments of scheduled principal payments through December 31, 2011 and $18.3 million applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled principal payments. During the first nine months of 2011, we paid a total of $15.0 million of principal payments on the term loan which included a voluntary prepayment of the March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012 scheduled principal payments and $2.0 million which was applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled principal payments. Any principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due at maturity. The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the senior secured credit facility are, at the Issuer's option, equal to either a base rate or a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, which varies with the total leverage ratio of the Issuer. As of September 30, 2011, the applicable margin was 2.50% per annum for LIBOR term loans, 2.00% per annum for LIBOR revolving loans, 1.50% per annum for base rate term loans and 1.00% per annum for base rate revolving loans. The revolving credit facility has a facility fee of 0.50% per annum.
We have a letter of credit sublimit as part of our revolving credit facility. The amount available to be borrowed under the revolving credit facility is reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the cumulative amount of any outstanding letters of credit, which totaled $20,000 at September 30, 2011, leaving $50.0 million of borrowing capacity at September 30, 2011. There have been no borrowings under the revolving credit facility through September 30, 2011.
All obligations under the senior secured credit facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by ILG and each of the Issuer's existing and future direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, and are secured by substantially all their assets. The secured credit facility ranks prior to the Interval Senior Notes to the extent of the value of the assets that secure it.
Restrictions and Covenants
The Interval Senior Notes and senior secured credit facility have various financial and operating covenants that place significant restrictions on us, including our ability to incur additional indebtedness, to incur additional liens, issue redeemable stock and preferred stock, pay dividends or distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock, prepay, redeem or repurchase debt, make loans and investments, enter into agreements that restrict distributions from our subsidiaries, sell assets and capital stock of our subsidiaries, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and consolidate or merge with or into or sell substantially all of our assets to another person.
The senior secured credit facility requires us to meet certain financial covenants requiring the maintenance of a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of consolidated debt over consolidated Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), as defined in the credit agreement

(3.65 from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 and 3.40 thereafter), and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA over consolidated interest expense, as defined in the credit agreement (3.00 from January 1, 2010 and thereafter). In addition, we may be required to use a portion of our consolidated excess cash flow (as defined in the credit agreement) to prepay the senior secured credit facility based on our consolidated leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal year. If our consolidated leverage ratio equals or exceeds 3.5, we must prepay 50% of consolidated excess cash flow, if our consolidated leverage ratio equals or exceeds 2.85 but is less than 3.5, we must prepay 25% of consolidated excess cash flow, and if our consolidated leverage ratio is less than 2.85, then no prepayment is required. As of September 30, 2011, ILG was in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all applicable financial and operating covenants and our consolidated leverage ratio and consolidated interest coverage ratio under the credit agreement were 2.44 and 4.52, respectively.
Debt Issuance Costs
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, total unamortized debt issue costs were $5.9 million, net of $7.5 million of accumulated amortization and $7.3 million, net of $6.2 million of accumulated amortization, respectively, which was included in "Other non-current assets." Debt issuance costs are amortized to "Interest expense" through maturity of the related debt using the effective interest method.
NOTE 6—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
In accordance with ASC Topic 820, "Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures," ("ASC 820") the fair value of an asset is considered to be the price at which the asset could be sold in an orderly transaction between unrelated knowledgeable and willing parties. A liability's fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:
Level 1—Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices in active markets
Level 2—Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the company to develop its own assumptions
As part of the acquisition of TPI in November 2010, we may be obligated to pay contingent consideration in an amount ranging from zero up to a total of $5.0 million to TPI's former owners during the three year period subsequent to the acquisition should TPI meet certain earnings targets. We calculated the fair value of the contingent consideration as of November 30, 2010, the acquisition date, to be $2.7 million using a probability-weighted income approach and based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the total contingent consideration increased $1.5 million from $2.7 million as of December 31, 2010 to $4.2 million as of September 30, 2011, of which $1.2 million of the increase is
15

NOTE 6—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS (Continued)
due to revisions to the estimated earnings used in our calculation of the fair value of the contingent consideration and $0.3 million is due to the accretion of interest on the fair value of the contingent consideration which was discounted to its net present value. The revisions to estimated earnings were primarily to reflect actual and updated forecast results in the calculation of the fair value of the contingent consideration.
Of this total contingent consideration, $1.5 million is included in other short-term liabilities and $2.7 million is included in other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration resulting from events after the acquisition date are recognized in earnings in our consolidated statements of income, and may result from changes in discount periods and rates and changes in the timing and amount of financial estimates.
As of September 30, 2011, there have been no transfers of inputs used in measuring fair value between the three-tier fair value hierarchy since December 31, 2010.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value of financial instruments below has been determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies, as applicable. There have been no changes in the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximate fair value as they are redeemable at par upon notice or maintained with various high-quality financial institutions and have original maturities of three months or less. Under the fair value hierarchy established in ASC 820, cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents are stated at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
The loans receivable pertains to secured loans issued in the second quarter of 2011 to third parties. These loans mature in 2014, with interest payable monthly at a rate comparable to market rate. These receivables are recorded at the time of origination for the principal amount financed and are carried at amortized cost, net of any allowance for credit losses, which approximates fair value using inputs such as interest rates and credit risk as of September 30, 2011, which in part are unobservable. The loans receivable balances are grouped and presented within other non-current assets in our

consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2011. Interest income associated with the loans is recognized in the interest income line item in our consolidated statements of income.
Borrowings under our Interval Senior Notes and term loan are carried at historical cost and adjusted for amortization of the discount on our Interval Senior Notes and principal payments. The fair value of our Interval Senior Notes was estimated at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 using an input of quoted prices from an inactive market due to the infrequency at which trades occur on our Interval Senior Notes. The fair value of our term loan was estimated at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 using inputs such as interest rates and credit risk.
The guarantees, surety bonds, and letters of credit represent liabilities that are carried on our balance sheet only when a future related contingent event becomes probable and reasonably estimable. These commitments are in place to facilitate our commercial operations.
NOTE 7—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
ILG has 300 million authorized shares of common stock, par value of $.01 per share. At September 30, 2011, there were 57.7 million shares of ILG common stock issued, of which 56.1 million are outstanding with 1.6 million shares held as treasury stock.
ILG has 25 million authorized shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, none of which are issued or outstanding as of September 30, 2011. The Board of Directors has the authority to issue the preferred stock in one or more series and to establish the rights, preferences, and dividends.
Stockholder Rights Plan
In June 2009, ILG's Board of Directors approved the creation of a Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock, adopted a stockholders rights plan and declared a dividend of one right for each outstanding share of common stock held by our stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 22, 2009. The rights attach to any additional shares of common stock issued after June 22, 2009. These rights, which trade with the shares of our common stock, currently are not exercisable. Under the rights plan, these rights will be exercisable if a person or group acquires or commences a tender or exchange offer for 15% or more of our common stock. The rights plan provides certain exceptions for acquisitions by Liberty Media Corporation in accordance with an agreement entered into with ILG in connection with its spin-off from IAC. If the rights become exercisable, each right will permit its holder, other than the "acquiring person," to purchase from us shares of common stock at a 50% discount to the then prevailing market price. As a result, the rights will cause substantial dilution to a person or group that becomes an "acquiring person" on terms not approved by our Board of Directors.
Share Repurchase Program
Effective August 3, 2011, ILG's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $25.0 million, excluding commissions, of our outstanding common stock. Acquired shares of our common stock are held as treasury shares carried at cost on our consolidated financial statements. Common stock repurchases may be conducted in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of all repurchase transactions are contingent upon market

conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. This program may be modified, suspended or terminated by us at any time without notice.
During the three months ended September 30, 2011, we repurchased 1.6 million shares of common stock at a cost, including commissions, of $19.3 million under this repurchase program. As of September 30, 2011, the remaining availability for future repurchases of our common stock was $5.8 million.
NOTE 8—BENEFIT PLANS
Under a retirement savings plan sponsored by ILG, qualified under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, participating employees may contribute up to 50.0% of their pre-tax earnings, but not more than statutory limits. ILG provides a discretionary match under the ILG plan of fifty cents for each dollar a participant contributed into the plan with a maximum contribution of 3% of a participant's eligible earnings, subject to IRS restrictions. On March 1, 2011, we reinstated the matching contributions under the 401(k) plan which had been suspended since March 1, 2009. Matching contributions for the ILG plan were approximately $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Matching contributions were invested in the same manner as each participant's voluntary contributions in the investment options provided under the plan.
Effective August 20, 2008, a deferred compensation plan (the "Director Plan") was established to provide non-employee directors of ILG an option to defer director fees on a tax-deferred basis. Participants in the Director Plan are allowed to defer a portion or all of their compensation and are 100% vested in their respective deferrals and earnings. With respect to director fees earned for services performed after the date of such election, participants may choose from receiving cash or stock at the end of the deferral period. ILG has reserved 100,000 shares of common stock for issuance pursuant to this plan, of which 29,003 share units were outstanding at September 30, 2011. ILG does not provide matching or discretionary contributions to participants in the Director Plan. Any deferred compensation elected to be received in stock is included in diluted earnings per share.
NOTE 9—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
RSUs are awards in the form of phantom shares or units, denominated in a hypothetical equivalent number of shares of ILG common stock and with the value of each award equal to the fair value of ILG common stock at the date of grant. All outstanding award agreements provide for settlement, upon vesting, in stock for U.S. employees. For non-U.S. employees, all grants issued prior to the spin-off provide for settlement upon vesting in cash, while grants since the spin-off provide for settlement upon vesting in stock. Each RSU is subject to service-based vesting, where a specific period of continued employment must pass before an award vests. Certain RSUs, in addition, are subject to attaining specific performance criteria. ILG recognizes non-cash compensation expense for all RSUs held by ILG's employees (including RSUs for stock of IAC or the other spun-off companies held by ILG employees) for which vesting is considered probable. For RSUs to be settled in stock, the accounting charge is measured at the grant date as the fair value of ILG common stock and expensed as non-cash compensation over the vesting term using the straight-line basis for service awards and the accelerated basis for performance-based awards with graded vesting. The expense associated with RSU

awards (including RSUs for stock of IAC or the other spun-off companies) to be settled in cash is initially measured at fair value at the grant date and expensed ratably over the vesting term, recording a liability subject to mark-to-market adjustments for changes in the price of the respective common stock, as compensation expense within general and administrative expense.
On August 20, 2008, ILG established the ILG 2008 Stock and Annual Incentive Plan (the "2008 Incentive Plan") which provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other stock-based awards. In connection with the spin-off, certain prior awards under IAC's plans were adjusted to convert, in whole or in part, to awards under the 2008 Incentive Plan under which RSUs and options relating to 2.9 million shares of common stock were issued. At the time of the spin-off, an additional 5.0 million shares of common stock were reserved for issuance under the 2008 Incentive Plan. As of September 30, 2011, ILG has 2.1 million remaining shares available for future issuance under this plan.
On March 2, 2011 and 2010, the Compensation Committee granted approximately 378,000 and 460,000 RSUs, respectively, vesting over three to four years, to certain officers and employees of ILG and its subsidiaries. Of these RSUs granted in 2011 and 2010, approximately 50,000 and 64,000, respectively, cliff vest in three years and are subject to performance criteria that could result between 0% and 200% of these awards being earned based on EBITDA targets.
Non-cash compensation expense related to RSUs for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 was $2.9 million and $2.6 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, non-cash compensation expense related to RSUs was $8.8 million and $7.6 million, respectively. At September 30, 2011, there was approximately $16.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to RSUs, which is currently expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years.
The amount of stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of income is reduced by estimated forfeitures, as the amount recorded is based on awards ultimately expected to vest. The forfeiture rate is estimated at the grant date based on historical experience and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods for any changes to the estimated forfeiture rate from that previously estimated. For any vesting tranche of an award, the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized is at least equal to the portion of the grant-date value of the award tranche that is actually vested at that date.
Non-cash stock-based compensation expense related to equity awards is included in the following line items in the accompanying consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands):

In connection with the acquisition of Aston by ILG in 2007, a member of Aston's management was granted non-voting restricted common equity in Aston. This award was granted on May 31, 2007 and was initially measured at fair value, which is being amortized over the vesting period. This award vests ratably over four and a half years, or earlier based upon the occurrence of certain prescribed events. These shares are subject to a put right by the holder and a call right by ILG, which are not exercisable until the first quarter of 2013 and annually thereafter. The value of these shares upon exercise of the put or call is equal to their fair market value, determined by negotiation or arbitration, reduced by the accreted value of the preferred interest that was taken by ILG upon the purchase of Aston. The initial value of the preferred interest was equal to the acquisition price of Aston. The preferred interest accretes at a 10% annual rate. Upon exercise of the put or call, the consideration payable can be denominated in ILG shares, cash or a combination thereof at ILG's option. An additional put right by the holder and call right by ILG would require, upon exercise, the purchase of these non-voting common shares by ILG immediately prior to a registered public offering by Aston, at the public offering price. The unrecognized compensation cost related to this equity award was approximately $18,000 and $100,000 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.
NOTE 10—INCOME TAXES
ILG calculates its interim income tax provision in accordance with ASC 740. At the end of each interim period, ILG makes its best estimate of the annual expected effective tax rate and applies that rate to its ordinary year-to-date earnings or loss. The income tax or benefit related to significant, unusual, or extraordinary items that will be separately reported or reported net of their related tax effect are individually computed and recognized in the interim period in which those items occur. In addition, the effect of a change in enacted tax laws or rates, tax status, or judgment on the realizability of a beginning-of-the-year deferred tax asset in future years is recognized in the interim period in which the change occurs.
The computation of the annual expected effective tax rate at each interim period requires certain estimates and assumptions including, but not limited to, the expected operating income for the year, projections of the proportion of income (or loss) earned and taxed in foreign jurisdictions, permanent and temporary differences, and the likelihood of recovering deferred tax assets generated in the current year. The accounting estimates used to compute the provision for income taxes may change as new events occur, more experience is acquired, additional information is obtained or ILG's tax environment

changes. To the extent that the estimated annual effective tax rate changes during a quarter, the effect of the change on prior quarters is included in tax expense for the current quarter.
A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided when it is more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets will not be realized. Realization is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income or the reversal of deferred tax liabilities during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. We consider the history of taxable income in recent years, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies to make this assessment.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, ILG recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $8.0 million and $20.9 million, respectively, which represents effective tax rates of 41.1% and 39.4% for the respective periods. These tax rates are higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local income taxes partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the effective tax rate increased due to other income tax items, the most significant related to the effect of changes in tax laws in the U.K., as discussed further below, that were enacted during the third quarter of 2011.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, ILG recorded an income tax provision for continuing operations of $6.0 million and $22.7 million, respectively, which represents effective tax rates of 39.4% and 38.7% for the respective periods. These tax rates are higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local income taxes partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates.
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, ILG had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively. There were no material increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the unrecognized tax benefits decreased by approximately $0.1 million during the first quarter of 2011 as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations related to foreign taxes. ILG recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no material accruals for interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, interest and penalties decreased by approximately $0.1 million during the first quarter of 2011 as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations related to foreign taxes. As of September 30, 2011, ILG had accrued $0.8 million for interest and penalties.
ILG believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $0.1 million within twelve months of the current reporting date due primarily to the expiration of the statute of limitations related to foreign taxes. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits cannot be made, but is not expected to be significant.
By virtue of previously filed separate company and consolidated tax returns with IAC, ILG is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign taxing authorities. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Income taxes payable include amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year returns; however, the amount paid upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount provided. Differences between the reserves for tax contingencies

and the amounts owed by ILG are recorded in the period they become known. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, IAC indemnifies ILG for all consolidated tax liabilities and related interest and penalties for the pre-spin period.
The Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") has completed its review of IAC's consolidated tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2001 through 2006, which includes our operations from September 24, 2002, our date of acquisition by IAC. The settlement has not yet been submitted to the Joint Committee of Taxation for approval. In July 2011, the IRS began its review of IAC's consolidated tax returns for the years ended December 31, 2007 through 2009, which also includes our operations until the time of the spin-off in August 2008. The statute of limitations for the years 2001 through 2007 have currently been extended to December 31, 2012. Various IAC consolidated tax returns that include our operations, filed with state and local jurisdictions, are currently under examination, the most significant of which are California, New York and New York City for various tax years beginning with December 31, 2003. The IRS is also currently examining ILG's Federal consolidated tax return for the short period following the spin-off and ended December 31, 2008. This examination is expected to be completed prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations in 2012. Additionally, ILG received a notice from the State of Florida that the consolidated state tax return for the short period following the spin-off and ended December 31, 2008 as well as for the tax year ended December 31, 2009, will be examined. The Florida statute of limitations for the short period following the spin-off and ended December 31, 2008 and for the tax year ended December 31, 2009 has been extended to 2013 and 2014, respectively.
During 2010, the U.K. Finance Act of 2010 was enacted, which reduced the U.K. corporate income tax rate from 28% to 27%, effective April 1, 2011. The impact of this 2010 U.K. rate reduction to ILG's effective tax rate was reflected in the third quarter of 2010, the reporting period when the law was enacted. During the third quarter 2011, the U.K. Finance Act of 2011 was enacted, which further reduced the U.K. corporate income tax rate to 26%, effective April 1, 2011 and 25%, effective April 1, 2012. The impact of the U.K. rate reduction to 26% and 25% has been reflected in the current reporting period. It reduced our U.K. net deferred tax asset and increased income tax expense by $0.4 million. The change in the corporate tax rate initially negatively impacts income tax expense as the future benefit expected to be realized from our U.K. net deferred tax assets decreases; however, going forward, the lower corporate tax rate will decrease income tax expense and favorably impact our effective tax rate.
Tax Sharing Agreement
In connection with the spin-off, we entered into a Tax Sharing Agreement with members of the IAC group that were spun-off. As of September 21, 2010, various restrictions under the Tax Sharing Agreement lapsed.
NOTE 11—SEGMENT INFORMATION
The overall concept that ILG employs in determining its operating segments and related financial information is to present them in a manner consistent with how the chief operating decision maker views the businesses, how the businesses are organized as to segment management, and the focus of the businesses with regards to the types of products or services offered or the target market. ILG consists

of two operating segments which are also reportable segments. Membership and Exchange, our principal business segment, offers travel and leisure related products and services to owners of vacation interests and others primarily through various membership programs, as well as related services to resort developer clients.

In the ordinary course of business, ILG is a party to various legal proceedings.

ILG does not establish reserves for identified legal matters when ILG believes that the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome is not probable. Although

management currently believes that an unfavorable resolution of claims against ILG, including claims where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible, will not have a material impact on the liquidity, results of operations, or financial condition of ILG, these matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management's view of these matters may change in the future. ILG also evaluates other contingent matters, including tax contingencies, to assess the probability and estimated extent of potential loss. See Note 10 for a discussion of income tax contingencies.
ILG has funding commitments that could potentially require its performance in the event of demands by third parties or contingent events. At September 30, 2011, guarantees, surety bonds and letters of credit totaled $17.3 million, with the highest annual amount of $6.6 million occurring in year one. Guarantees represent $14.9 million of this total and primarily relate to the Management and Rental segment's hotel and resort management agreements of Aston, including those with guaranteed dollar amounts, and accommodation leases supporting the management activities of Aston, entered into on behalf of the property owners for which either party may terminate such leases upon 60 days prior written notice to the other. In addition, certain of the Management and Rental segment's hotel and resort management agreements of Aston provide that owners receive specified percentages of the revenue generated under its management. In these cases, the operating expenses for the rental operations are paid from the revenue generated by the rentals, the owners are then paid their contractual percentages, and the Management and Rental segment either retains the balance (if any) as its management fee or makes up the deficit. Although such deficits are reasonably possible in a few of these agreements, as of September 30, 2011, amounts are not expected to be significant, individually or in the aggregate.
The purchase obligations primarily relate to future guaranteed purchases of rental inventory, operational support services and membership fulfillment benefits. Aston also enters into agreements, as principal, for services purchased on behalf of property owners for which it is subsequently reimbursed. As such, Aston is the primary obligor and may be liable for unreimbursed costs. As of September 30, 2011, amounts pending reimbursements are not significant.
European Union Value Added Tax Matter
In 2009, the European Court of Justice issued a judgment related to Value Added Tax ("VAT") in Europe against an unrelated party. The judgment affects companies who transact within the European Union ("EU"), specifically providers of vacation interest exchange services, and altered the manner in which the Membership and Exchange segment accounts for VAT on its revenues as well as to which EU country VAT is owed. As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, ILG had an accrual of $4.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, related to this matter. The change in accrual relates to a change in estimate primarily to update the periods for which VAT is due, as well as the effect of foreign currency remeasurements. Because of the uncertainty surrounding the ultimate outcome and settlement of these VAT liabilities, it is reasonably possible that future costs to settle these VAT liabilities may range from $4.4 million up to approximately $6.8 million based on quarter-end exchange rates. ILG believes that the $4.4 million accrual at September 30, 2011 is our best estimate of probable future obligations for the settlement of these VAT liabilities. The difference between the probable and reasonably possible amounts is primarily attributable to the assessment of certain potential penalties.

Management Overview
General Description of our Business
Interval Leisure Group, Inc., or ILG, is a leading global provider of membership and leisure services to the vacation industry. We operate in two business segments: Membership and Exchange and Management and Rental. Our principal business segment, Membership and Exchange, offers travel and leisure related products and services to owners of vacation interests and others primarily through various membership programs, as well as related services to resort developer clients. Management and Rental, our other business segment, provides hotel, resort and homeowners association management and vacation rental services to both vacationers and vacation property owners.
Membership and Exchange Services
Interval, the principal business comprising our Membership and Exchange segment, has been a leader in the membership and exchange services industry since its founding in 1976. As of September 30, 2011, Interval's primary operation is the Interval Network, a quality global vacation ownership membership exchange network with:
- •
- a large and diversified base of participating resorts consisting of approximately 2,600 resorts located in over 75 countries, including both leading independent resort developers and branded hospitality companies; and
- •
- approximately 1.8 million vacation ownership interest owners enrolled as members of the Interval Network.
Interval typically enters into multi-year contracts with developers of vacation ownership resorts, pursuant to which the resort developers agree to enroll all purchasers of vacation interests at the applicable resort as members of an Interval exchange program. In return, Interval provides enrolled purchasers with the ability to exchange the use and occupancy of their vacation interest at the home resort (generally for a period of one week) for the right to occupy accommodations at a different resort participating in an Interval exchange network. Through Interval's Getaways, members may rent resort accommodations for a fee without relinquishing the use of their vacation interest. In addition, Interval offers sales, marketing and operational support, consulting and back-office services, including reservation servicing, to certain resort developers participating in the Interval Network, upon their request and for additional consideration.
The Membership and Exchange segment earns most of its revenue from (i) fees paid for membership in the Interval Network and (ii) transactional and service fees paid for Interval Network exchanges, Getaways, reservation servicing, and related transactions collectively referred to as "transaction revenue."
Management and Rental Services
We also provide management and rental services to hotels as well as condominium and timeshare resorts and their homeowners associations through Aston and TPI. Such vacation properties and hotels are not owned by us. Aston is based in Hawaii and concentrates largely on hotel and condominium resort management primarily in Hawaii, as well as vacation property rental and related services (including common area and owner association management services for condominium projects). TPI provides vacation rentals and timeshare resort and homeowners association management services in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
32
As of September 30, 2011, the businesses that comprise our Management and Rental segment provided management and rental services at over 60 vacation properties and hotels as well as more limited management services to certain additional properties.
Revenue from the Management and Rental segment is derived principally from fees for hotel, condominium resort, timeshare resort and homeowners association management and rental services. Management fees consist of a base management fee and, in some instances for hotels or condominium resorts, an incentive management fee which is generally a percentage of operating profits or improvement in operating profits. Service fee revenue is based on the services provided to owners including reservations, sales and marketing, property accounting and information technology services either internally or through third party providers. A majority of Aston's hotel and condominium resort management agreements provide that owners receive either specified percentages of the revenue generated under our management or guaranteed dollar amounts. In these cases, the operating expenses for the rental operation are paid from the revenue generated by the rentals, the owners are then paid their contractual percentages or amounts, and the Management and Rental segment either retains the balance (if any) as its management fee or makes up the deficit.
International Operations
International revenue increased approximately 4.3% and 3.7% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. As a percentage of our total revenue, international revenue decreased to 15.0% in the three months ended September 30, 2011 from 15.3% in 2010 and remained relatively flat year-over-year at 15.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. International revenue in the first nine months of 2011 was affected by favorable foreign currency translations when compared to 2010. In constant currency, international revenue increased 2.4% and 1.3% in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, compared to 2010. As a percentage of our total revenue, international revenue in constant currency decreased 3.3% to 14.8% in the third quarter 2011 compared to 2010 and decreased 2.4% to 15.3% in the first nine months of 2011 compared to 2010.
Other Factors Affecting Results
Membership and Exchange
The reduction in sales and marketing expenditures by resort developers spurred by the lack of receivables financing has resulted in a decrease in the flow of new members to our exchange networks. Access to credit markets for securitization transactions available to certain large developers has returned and activity by regional banks working with independent developers has increased for better capitalized companies. Financing standards for consumers remain higher than those required several years ago and developers are continuing to modify their business models to reduce reliance on receivables financing. As developers with greater debt loads continue to work with their lenders, we anticipate additional bankruptcies, reorganizations and consolidation within the industry.
In addition, our 2011 results were negatively affected by a shift in the mix and availability of exchange and Getaway inventory and changes in travel patterns. The dynamics of the changing travel patterns and inventory availability, along with fewer absolute members, has resulted in softness in bookings and an increase in the cost and volume of purchased inventory.
Management and Rental
Our Management and Rental segment results are susceptible to variations in economic conditions, particularly in its predominant market, Hawaii. According to the Hawaii Tourism Authority, visitor arrivals by air in Hawaii have increased 2.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in the prior year, and remained relatively flat for the three months ended
33
September 30, 2011 compared to 2010. The year-to-date increase in visitors is consistent with Aston's managed properties in Hawaii experiencing increases in occupancy, partly related to a decrease in available room nights, leading to an overall increase of 19.1% in revenue per available room ("RevPAR") in Hawaii for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 2010. For the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to 2010, the increase in RevPAR in Hawaii of 12.7% was predominantly driven by higher average daily rate.
As of the latest forecast (August 2011), the Hawaii State Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism, forecasts increases of 3.0% in visitors to Hawaii and 12.0% in visitor expenditures in 2011 over 2010.
Outlook
Throughout 2011, the vacation ownership industry has remained in a period of transition that may result in the bankruptcy, restructuring and consolidation of developers as well as continued modifications to their business models. We anticipate this period of transition to continue for the remainder of the year and into 2012. We also expect the negative effects of a shift in inventory mix as well as additional expenses associated with purchases of inventory to continue for the remainder of the year and into 2012. For the Management and Rental business, we expect Aston's RevPAR to continue to show year over year improvement for the remainder of 2011; however, increases in airfare and decreases in visitor arrivals from the mainland may temper growth.
Additionally, the owner of one of Aston's largest managed properties has been unable to repay or refinance the mortgage that matured on October 1, 2011. The owner has since received a notice of default. In the event that the owner is unable to obtain new financing and reorganizes or liquidates under bankruptcy protection, Aston's management agreement may be terminated which could materially adversely affect the Aston business, and the financial condition and results of operations of our Management and Rental segment. The loss of this management agreement may require us to test the goodwill and other intangible assets of this reporting unit for impairment, which could result in recording an impairment charge at that time. We will continue to monitor this developing situation and assess whether any changes in circumstances require an interim impairment test, apart from our annual impairment test that we will perform as of October 1, 2011, on the goodwill and other intangible assets of this reporting unit.

Revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011 increased $6.2 million, or 6.2%, from the comparable period in 2010.
Membership and Exchange
Membership and Exchange segment revenue increased 3.1% or $2.6 million when compared to the prior year period. Total member revenue, which primarily consists of Interval Network membership fees and transactional and service fees, increased $1.3 million, or 1.7%. This increase was primarily due to higher transaction revenue of $1.8 million, or 3.9%, as a result of a $1.5 million increase in transaction revenue from exchanges and Getaways and an increase of $0.5 million in certain other transaction related fees, partially offset by a decrease of $0.3 million in reservation servicing fees. The increase in transaction revenue from exchanges and Getaways was due to an increase of 7.0% in average fee per transaction, partially offset by a decrease of 3.2% in exchange and Getaway transaction activity which reflects the continued effect of a shift in the mix and availability of exchange and Getaway inventory and changes in travel patterns.
Total active members in the Interval Network at September 30, 2011 decreased 1.1% to approximately 1.79 million members as compared to the prior year. Overall Interval Network average revenue per member increased 2.6% to $45.15 in the third quarter 2011 from $44.02 in 2010. Membership fee revenue remained relatively flat at $32.2 million, when compared to 2010. Other revenue related to our Membership and Exchange segment increased $1.2 million, or 31.8%, in the third quarter 2011 when compared to 2010 due to the acquisition of TPI in November of 2010.
Management and Rental
Management and Rental segment revenue increased 21.7%, or $3.7 million, of which TPI represented $3.3 million. The increase in segment revenue included a $1.2 million, or 11.5%, increase in reimbursed compensation and other employee-related costs directly associated with managing
35
properties that are included in both revenue and expenses and that are passed on to the property owners or homeowners association without mark-up ("pass-through revenue"). The increase in pass-through revenue is related to our acquisition of TPI. Fee income earned from managed hotel and condominium resort properties at Aston increased $0.6 million, or 9.7%, in 2011 due to an increase of 13.4% in RevPAR to $113.12 driven by increases in average daily rate and, to a lesser extent, occupancy.

Revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 increased $13.3 million, or 4.2%, from the comparable period in 2010.
Membership and Exchange
Membership and Exchange segment revenue increased $1.6 million, or 0.6%, in 2011 compared to the prior year period. The increase in Membership and Exchange segment revenue is due to an increase in other revenue of $3.9 million, or 32.7%, in the third quarter 2011 when compared to 2010 due to the acquisition of TPI in November of 2010. Total member revenue, which primarily consists of Interval Network membership fees and transactional and service fees, decreased $2.3 million, or 0.9%. This decrease was primarily due to lower transaction revenue of $1.5 million, or 1.0%, as a result of a $1.6 million decrease in transaction revenue from exchanges and Getaways and a decrease of $0.6 million in reservation servicing fees, partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million in certain other transaction related fees. The decrease in transaction revenue from exchanges and Getaways was due to a decrease of 4.3% in exchange and Getaway transaction activity, partially offset by a 3.3% increase in average fee per transaction, which reflects the continued effect of a shift in the mix and availability of exchange and Getaway inventory and changes in travel patterns.
Overall Interval Network average revenue per member remained relatively flat at $140.61 in 2011 compared to $140.87 in 2010. Membership fee revenue also remained flat at $97.3 million for both periods.

Management and Rental
Management and Rental segment revenue increased 24.6%, or $11.7 million, of which TPI represented $9.6 million. The increase in segment revenue included a $3.9 million, or 12.4%, increase in pass-through revenue related to our acquisition of TPI. Fee income earned from managed hotel and condominium resort properties at Aston increased $2.5 million, or 15.4%, due to an increase of 17.8% in RevPAR to $111.30 in 2011 driven by increases in average daily rate and, to a lesser extent, occupancy.

Cost of sales consists primarily of compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in servicing members of the Membership and Exchange segment and providing services to property owners and/or guests of the Management and Rental segment's managed vacation properties, as well as cost of rental inventory used primarily for Getaways included within the Membership and Exchange segment.
Cost of sales in the third quarter 2011 increased $3.5 million from 2010, consisting of an increase of $1.4 million from our Membership and Exchange segment and $2.1 million from our Management and Rental segment. Overall gross margin decreased 2.2% to 67.5% this quarter compared to 2010.
Gross margin for the Membership and Exchange segment decreased by 1.2% as compared to the prior year. Cost of sales for this segment increased $1.4 million primarily due to a $1.2 million increase in the cost and volume of purchased inventory and $0.3 million of incremental expenses related to TPI.
The increase of $2.1 million in cost of sales from the Management and Rental segment was primarily attributable to increases of $1.2 million in pass-through revenue and $0.9 million in compensation and other employee-related costs primarily due to our acquisition of TPI. Gross margin for this segment increased 14.8% to 26.1% for the third quarter 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. The Management and Rental segment has lower gross margins than our Membership and Exchange segment largely due to pass-through revenue.

Gross margin for the Membership and Exchange segment decreased by 1.7% as compared to the prior year. Cost of sales for this segment increased $3.9 million primarily due to an increase of $3.2 million in the cost of purchased rental inventory and $1.0 million of incremental expenses related to TPI following our acquisition of TPI, partly offset primarily by a decrease in compensation and other employee related costs at Interval. The increase in the cost of purchased inventory contributed to our decrease in gross margin in the first nine months of 2011, as well as a slightly higher proportion of purchased inventory utilized.
The increase of $6.8 million in cost of sales from the Management and Rental segment was primarily attributable to an increase of $3.9 million in pass-through revenue coupled with increases of $2.5 million in other incremental expenses related to TPI and an increase in compensation and other employee-related costs at Aston. Gross margin for this segment increased 20.8% to 24.8% in 2011 compared to 2010.

General and administrative expense consists primarily of compensation and other employee-related costs (including stock-based compensation) for personnel engaged in finance, legal, tax, human resources, information technology and executive management functions, facilities costs and fees for professional services.
General and administrative expense in the third quarter 2011 increased $0.5 million from 2010, primarily due to an increase of $1.2 million due to a change in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to an acquisition, an increase of $0.6 million of professional fees, mainly IT related, higher expense of $0.3 million relating to IT maintenance and support services, and other increases due to the inclusion of TPI in our results of operations. These increases were partly offset by a $1.1 million change in our estimated accrual for European Union ("EU") Value Added Tax ("VAT"), $0.8 million of higher net currency gains related to foreign currency remeasurements of operating assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency and a decrease of $0.2 million in overall compensation and employee-related costs.
The decrease of $0.2 million in overall compensation and other employee related costs was primarily due to a decrease in employee-related health and welfare insurance expense of $1.1 million and other incentive related compensation, partly offset by $0.7 million of incremental expenses related to TPI employees and $0.4 million of lower capitalized internal labor costs pertaining to internally developed software subsequent to the launch of our new proprietary membership platform ("iServices").
General and administrative related non-cash compensation expense in the third quarter 2011 increased $0.3 million primarily related to annual awards granted in March 2011. As of September 30, 2011, ILG had approximately $16.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to all equity-based awards, which is currently expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years.

General and administrative expense increased $5.7 million from 2010, primarily due to an increase of $2.3 million in overall compensation and other employee-related costs, an increase of $1.3 million in professional fees, an increase of $1.2 million due to a change in the estimated fair value of contingent consideration related to an acquisition, and higher expenses of $0.7 million relating to IT and maintenance and support services. In addition, we experienced $0.3 million of higher net currency losses related to foreign currency remeasurements of operating assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, and other increases of $1.2 million due to the inclusion of TPI in our results of operations. These increases were partly offset by a $1.1 million dollar change in our estimated accrual for EU VAT.
The increase of $1.3 million in professional fees primarily relates to lower capitalized external labor costs pertaining to internally developed software subsequent to the launch iServices and to $0.4 million of legal fees associated with an Aston legal proceeding.
The increase of $2.3 million in overall compensation and other employee- related costs was primarily due to $2.0 million of incremental expenses related to TPI employees, $1.2 million of lower capitalized internal labor costs pertaining to internally developed software subsequent to the launch of iServices, and a $1.0 million increase in non-cash compensation expense primarily related to annual awards granted in March 2010 through March 2011.

EBITDA from our Membership and Exchange segment decreased $5.5 million to $111.9 million in the first nine months of 2011 from $117.4 million in 2010. The decrease in this segment is due primarily to a contraction in Interval gross profit and increases in other general and administrative and selling and marketing expenses.
The contraction in Interval gross profit can be mainly attributed to a decrease in exchange and Getaway transaction activity partially related to a shift in the mix and availability of exchange and Getaway inventory, changes in travel patterns, and increased costs of purchased inventory. This was partially offset by the inclusion of TPI in our results of operations. The increase in other operating expenses is partly attributable to the inclusion of TPI's general and administrative expenses in our results of operations as well as increases in certain costs at Interval such as lower capitalized internal and external labor costs pertaining to internally developed software subsequent to the launch of iServices, higher costs pertaining to IT maintenance and support services and increases in advertising and promotional related expenses, as further discussed within our sales and marketing and general and administrative expense sections.
EBITDA from our Management and Rental segment increased $1.6 million to $5.6 million in the first nine months of 2011 from $4.1 million in 2010.

Income Tax Provision
For the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2010
For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, ILG recorded income tax provisions for continuing operations of $8.0 million and $6.0 million, respectively, which represent effective tax rates of 41.1% and 39.4%, respectively. These tax rates are higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local income taxes partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates. During the three months ended September 30, 2011, the effective tax rate increased due to other income tax items, the most significant related to the effect of changes in tax laws in the U.K., as discussed further below, that were enacted during the quarter.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, ILG recorded income tax provisions for continuing operations of $20.9 million and $22.7 million, respectively, which represent effective tax rates of 39.4% and 38.7%, respectively. These tax rates are higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% due principally to state and local income taxes partially offset by foreign income taxed at lower rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the effective tax rate increased due to other
44
income tax items, the most significant related to the effect of changes in tax laws in the U.K., as discussed further below, that were enacted during the third quarter of 2011.
As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, ILG had unrecognized tax benefits of $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively. There were no material increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits for the three months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the unrecognized tax benefits decreased by approximately $0.1 million during the first quarter of 2011 as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations related to foreign taxes. ILG recognizes interest and, if applicable, penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. There were no material accruals for interest for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, interest and penalties decreased by approximately $0.1 million during the first quarter of 2011 as a result of the expiration of the statute of limitations related to foreign taxes. As of September 30, 2011, ILG had accrued $0.8 million for interest and penalties.
ILG believes that it is reasonably possible that its unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by approximately $0.1 million within twelve months of the current reporting date due primarily to the expiration of the statute of limitations related to foreign taxes. An estimate of other changes in unrecognized tax benefits cannot be made, but is not expected to be significant.
By virtue of previously filed separate company and consolidated tax returns with IAC, ILG is routinely under audit by federal, state, local and foreign taxing authorities. These audits include questioning the timing and the amount of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax jurisdictions. Income taxes payable include amounts considered sufficient to pay assessments that may result from examination of prior year returns; however, the amount paid upon resolution of issues raised may differ from the amount provided. Differences between the reserves for tax contingencies and the amounts owed by ILG are recorded in the period they become known. Under the Tax Sharing Agreement, IAC indemnifies ILG for all consolidated tax liabilities and related interest and penalties for the pre-spin period. The IRS is also currently examining ILG's Federal consolidated tax return for the short period following the spin-off and ended December 31, 2008. This examination is expected to be completed prior to the expiration of the statute of limitations in 2012. Additionally, ILG received a notice from the State of Florida that the consolidated state tax return for the short period following the spin-off and ended December 31, 2008 as well as for the tax year ended December 31, 2009, will be examined. The Florida statute of limitations for the short period following the spin-off and ended December 31, 2008 and for the tax year ended December 31, 2009 has been extended to 2013 and 2014, respectively.
During 2010, the U.K. Finance Act of 2010 was enacted, which reduced the U.K. corporate income tax rate from 28% to 27%, effective April 1, 2011. The impact of this 2010 U.K. rate reduction to ILG's effective tax rate was reflected in the third quarter of 2010, the reporting period when the law was enacted. During the third quarter 2011, the U.K. Finance Act of 2011 was enacted, which further reduced the U.K. corporate income tax rate to 26%, effective April 1, 2011 and 25%, effective April 1, 2012. The impact of the U.K. rate reduction to 26% and 25% has been reflected in the current reporting period. It reduced our U.K. net deferred tax asset and increased income tax expense by $0.4 million. The change in the corporate tax rate initially negatively impacts income tax expense as the future benefit expected to be realized from our U.K. net deferred tax assets decreases; however, going forward, the lower corporate tax rate will decrease income tax expense and favorably impact our effective tax rate.
Further U.K. rate reductions to 24% and 23% are expected to be included in future U.K. Finance Bills. These future corporate income tax rate reductions are expected to have a similar impact on our financial statements, as outlined above, however the actual impact will be dependent on the actual amount of the rate decrease enacted and on our deferred tax position at that time.

FINANCIAL POSITION, LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of September 30, 2011, we had $194.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents, including $84.8 million of U.S. dollar equivalent or denominated cash deposits held by foreign subsidiaries which are subject to changes in foreign exchange rates. Of this amount, $57.2 million is held in foreign jurisdictions, principally the U.K. Earnings of foreign subsidiaries, except Venezuela, are permanently reinvested. Additional tax provisions would be required should such earnings be repatriated to the U.S. Cash generated by operations is our primary source of liquidity. We believe that our cash on hand along with our anticipated operating future cash flows and availability under our $50.0 million revolving credit facility are sufficient to fund our operating needs, capital expenditures, development and expansion of our operations, debt service, investments and other commitments and contingencies for at least the next twelve months. However, our operating cash flow may be impacted by macroeconomic factors outside of our control.
Cash Flows Discussion
Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $76.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $71.7 million in the same period of 2010. The increase of $5.2 million from 2010 was principally due to lower income taxes paid of $8.7 million and higher interest income of $0.4 million, partly offset by higher net cash expenses. The increase in interest income is due to interest earned and received on the loans receivable issued to third parties in the second quarter 2011.
Net cash used in investing activities of $31.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 related to disbursements totaling $16.2 million for loans to third parties, capital expenditures of $9.9 million, primarily related to IT initiatives, and the acquisition of certain management agreements by our Management and Rental segment for $5.6 million. The loans are secured and mature in 2014. Interest on these loans is due monthly and as of September 30, 2011, an additional $0.8 million is available to be drawn. In connection with obtaining or extending business relationships with our clients, on occasion we provide loans or make other payments. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in investing activities was $12.5 million which primarily related to capital expenditures for IT initiatives. The decrease in capital expenditures in 2011 from 2010 is due to less capitalized expenditures pertaining to internally developed software subsequent to the launch of iServices in November 2010.
Net cash used in financing activities of $34.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was principally due to repurchases of our common stock at market prices totaling $17.6 million, including commissions, which settled during the quarter as well as voluntary principal prepayments on the term loan totaling $15.0 million and vesting of restricted stock units, net of withholding taxes, all partially offset by excess tax benefits from stock-based awards and proceeds from the exercise of stock options. Effective, August 3, 2011, ILG's Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program for up to $25.0 million, excluding commissions, of our outstanding common stock. As of September 30, 2011, the remaining availability for future repurchases of our common stock was $5.8 million. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, net cash used in financing activities of $30.9 million was principally due to principal payments totaling $30.0 million on the term loan and vesting of restricted stock units, net of withholding taxes, partially offset by excess tax benefits from stock-based awards and proceeds from the exercise of warrants and stock options.
We have a senior secured credit facility which matures on July 25, 2013 and consists of a $50.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") and $150.0 million term loan (the "Term Loan"). During 2010, we paid $40.0 million of principal payments on the Term Loan, which included voluntary prepayments of scheduled principal payments through December 31, 2011 and $18.3 million applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled principal payments. During the first nine months of 2011, we paid a total of $15.0 million of principal payments on the term loan which included a voluntary prepayment
46
of the March 31, 2012, June 30, 2012 and September 30, 2012 scheduled principal payments and $2.0 million which was applied pro rata to the remaining scheduled principal payments. As of September 30, 2011, we had $61.0 million outstanding on the Term Loan. The remaining principal amount of the Term Loan is payable quarterly through July 25, 2013 ($4.3 million for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2012 and approximately $18.9 million quarterly thereafter). There have been no borrowings under the Revolver through September 30, 2011.
In addition, on August 19, 2008, we issued $300.0 million of aggregate principal amounts of 9.5% Senior Notes due 2016 (the "Interval Senior Notes"), reduced by the original issue discount of $23.5 million of which $16.6 million remains unamortized at September 30, 2011. The secured credit facility effectively ranks prior to the Interval Senior Notes to the extent of the value of the assets that secure it.
Any principal amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility are due at maturity. The interest rates per annum applicable to loans under the senior secured credit facility are, at the Issuer's option, equal to either a base rate or a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin, which varies with the total leverage ratio of the Issuer. As of September 30, 2011, the applicable margin was 2.50% per annum for LIBOR term loans, 2.00% per annum for LIBOR revolving loans, 1.50% per annum for base rate term loans and 1.00% per annum for base rate revolving loans. The revolving credit facility has a facility fee of 0.50%
The Interval Senior Notes and senior secured credit facility have various financial and operating covenants that place significant restrictions on us, including our ability to incur additional indebtedness, to incur additional liens, issue redeemable stock and preferred stock, pay dividends or distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock, prepay, redeem or repurchase debt, make loans and investments, enter into agreements that restrict distributions from our subsidiaries, sell assets and capital stock of our subsidiaries, enter into certain transactions with affiliates and consolidate or merge with or into or sell substantially all of our assets to another person. The senior secured credit facility requires us to meet certain financial covenants, requiring the maintenance of a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of consolidated debt over consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement (3.65 from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010 and 3.40 thereafter), and a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of consolidated EBITDA over consolidated interest expense, as defined in the credit agreement (3.00 from January 1, 2010 and thereafter). In addition, we may be required to use a portion of our consolidated excess cash flow (as defined in the credit agreement) to prepay the senior secured credit facility based on our consolidated leverage ratio at the end of each fiscal year. If our consolidated leverage ratio equals or exceeds 3.5, we must prepay 50% of consolidated excess cash flow, if our consolidated leverage ratio equals or exceeds 2.85 but is less than 3.5, we must prepay 25% of consolidated excess cash flow, and if our consolidated leverage ratio is less than 2.85, then no prepayment is required. As of September 30, 2011, we were in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of all applicable financial and operating covenants and our consolidated leverage ratio and consolidated interest coverage ratio under the credit agreement were 2.44 and 4.52, respectively.
We have funding commitments that could potentially require our performance in the event of demands by third parties or contingent events. At September 30, 2011, guarantees, surety bonds and letters of credit totaled $17.3 million. Guarantees represent $14.9 million of this total and primarily relate to the Management and Rental segment's hotel and resort management agreements of Aston, including those with guaranteed dollar amounts, and accommodation leases supporting the Aston management activities, entered into on behalf of the property owners for which either party may terminate such leases upon 60 days prior written notice to the other. In addition, certain of the Management and Rental segment's hotel and resort management agreements of Aston provide that owners receive specified percentages of the revenue generated under Aston management. In these cases, the operating expenses for the rental operations are paid from the revenue generated by the rentals, the owners are then paid their contractual percentages, and the Management and Rental
47
segment either retains the balance (if any) as its management fee or makes up the deficit. Although such deficits are reasonably possible in a few of these agreements, as of September 30, 2011, amounts are not expected to be significant, individually or in the aggregate. Aston also enters into agreements, as principal, for services purchased on behalf of property owners for which it is subsequently reimbursed. As such, Aston is the primary obligor and may be liable for unreimbursed costs. As of September 30, 2011, amounts pending reimbursements are not significant.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates which are based on historical experience and various other judgments and assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. Actual outcomes could differ from those estimates. We have discussed those estimates that we believe are critical and required the use of significant judgment and use of estimates that could have a significant impact on our financial statements in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies in the interim period.
ILG'S PRINCIPLES OF FINANCIAL REPORTING
Definition of ILG's Non-GAAP Measure
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization is defined as net income excluding, if applicable: (1) non-cash compensation expense, (2) depreciation expense, (3) amortization expense of intangibles, (4) goodwill and asset impairments, (5) income taxes, (6) interest income and interest expense and (7) other non-operating income and expense. Our presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly-titled measures used by other companies. We believe this measure is useful to investors because it represents the consolidated operating results from our segments, excluding the effects of any non-cash expenses. We also believe this non-GAAP financial measure improves the transparency of our disclosures, provides a meaningful presentation of our results from our business operations, excluding the impact of certain items not related to our core business operations and improves the period to period comparability of results from business operations. EBITDA has certain limitations in that it does not take into account the impact to our statement of operations of certain expenses, including non-cash compensation. We endeavor to compensate for the limitations of the non-GAAP measure presented by also providing the comparable GAAP measure with equal or greater prominence and descriptions of the reconciling items, including quantifying such items, to derive the non-GAAP measure.
We report EBITDA as a supplemental measure to generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). This measure is one of the primary metrics by which we evaluate the performance of our businesses, on which our internal budgets are based and by which management is compensated. We believe that investors should have access to the same set of tools that we use in analyzing our results. This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. We provide and encourage investors to examine the reconciling adjustments between the GAAP and non-GAAP measure which are discussed below.
Constant currency represents current period results of operations determined by translating our functional currency results to U.S. dollars (our reporting currency) using the actual blended rate of translation from the comparable prior period. We believe that the presentation of our results of operations excluding the effect of foreign currency translations serves to enhance the understanding of our performance, improves transparency of our disclosures, provides meaningful presentations of our results from our business operations by excluding this effect not related to our core business operations and improves the period to period comparability of results from business operations.
Pro Forma Results
We will only present EBITDA on a pro forma basis if we view a particular transaction as significant in size or transformational in nature. For the periods presented in this report, there are no transactions that we have included on a pro forma basis.
49
Non-Cash Expenses That Are Excluded From ILG's Non-GAAP Measure
Non-cash compensation expenseconsists principally of expense associated with the grants, including unvested grants assumed in acquisitions, of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options. These expenses are not paid in cash, and we will include the related shares in our future calculations of diluted shares of stock outstanding. Upon vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units and the exercise of certain stock options, the awards will be settled, at our discretion, on a net basis, with us remitting the required tax withholding amount from our current funds.
Goodwill and asset impairmentsare non-cash expenses relating to adjustments to goodwill and long-lived assets whereby the carrying value exceeds the fair value of the related assets, and is infrequent in nature.
Amortization expense of intangiblesis a non-cash expense relating primarily to acquisitions. At the time of an acquisition, the intangible assets of the acquired company, such as customer relationships, purchase agreements and resort management agreements are valued and amortized over their estimated lives. We believe that since intangibles represent costs incurred by the acquired company to build value prior to acquisition, they were part of transaction costs.
Depreciation expenseis a non-cash expense relating to our property and equipment and does not relate to our core business operations. Depreciation expense is recorded on a straight-line basis to allocate the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated service lives.
The following tables reconcile EBITDA to operating income for our operating segments and to net income attributable to common stockholders in total for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands). The noncontrolling interest relates to the Management and Rental segment.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We conduct business in certain foreign markets, primarily in the United Kingdom and the European Union. Our foreign currency risk primarily relates to our investments in foreign subsidiaries that transact business in a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar. This exposure is mitigated as we have generally reinvested profits in our international operations. As currency exchange rates change, translation of the income statements of our international businesses into U.S. dollars affects year-over-year comparability of operating results.
In addition, we are exposed to foreign currency risk related to transactions and/or assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. Historically, we have not hedged currency risks. However, our foreign currency exposure related to EU VAT liabilities denominated in euros is largely offset by euro denominated cash balances.
Operating foreign exchange for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 resulted in a net gain of $0.2 million and a net loss of less than $0.1 million, respectively, attributable to foreign currency remeasurements of operating assets and liabilities denominated in a currency other than their functional currency. Non-operating foreign exchange for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 resulted in a net gain of $2.5 million and a net loss of $0.7 million, respectively, attributable to cash held in certain countries in currencies other than their functional currency. Non-operating foreign exchange for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 resulted in a net gain of $1.0 million and a net loss of $1.0 million, respectively
The favorable fluctuations in the third quarter 2011 were principally driven by U.S. dollar positions held at September 30, 2011 affected by the stronger dollar compared to the Colombian peso and the Mexican peso. Unfavorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates caused a net loss during the three months ended September 30, 2010. The unfavorable fluctuations in the third quarter 2010 were principally driven by U.S. dollar positions held at September 30, 2010 affected by the weaker dollar compared to the Colombian and Mexican pesos.
The favorable fluctuations in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were principally driven by U.S. dollar positions held at September 30, 2011 affected by the stronger dollar compared to the Mexican peso, partly offset by a strengthening of the Colombian peso against the U.S. dollar. The unfavorable fluctuations in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 were principally driven by U.S. dollar positions held at September 30, 2010 affected by the weaker dollar compared to the Colombian peso and the Mexican peso, partly offset by the stronger dollar compared to the British pound.
As we increase our operations in international markets we become increasingly exposed to potentially volatile movements in currency exchange rates. The economic impact of currency exchange rate movements on us is often linked to variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. These changes, if material, could cause us to adjust our financing, operating and hedging strategies. A hypothetical 10% weakening/strengthening in foreign exchange rates to the U.S. dollar for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 would result in an approximate change to revenue of $0.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively. There have been no material quantitative changes in market risk exposures since December 31, 2010.
Interest Rate Risk
At September 30, 2011, we had $61.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan. Based on the amount outstanding, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would result in an approximate change to interest expense of $0.6 million. Additionally, September 30, 2011, we had $300.0 million (face amount) of Interval Senior Notes that bear interest at a fixed amount. As market rates have declined, the required payments on the fixed rate debt have exceeded those based on market rates. Based on our mix of fixed rate and floating rate debt and cash balances, we do not currently hedge our interest rate exposure. There have been no material quantitative changes in market risk exposures since December 31, 2010.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We monitor and evaluate on an ongoing basis our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting in order to improve our overall effectiveness. In the course of this evaluation, we modify and refine our internal processes as conditions warrant.
As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in providing reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
As required by Rule 13a-15(d) of the Exchange Act, we, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, also evaluated whether any changes occurred to our internal control over financial reporting during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, such control. Based on that evaluation, there have been no material changes to internal controls over financial reporting.

The following risk factor supplements the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010:
Risks related to advances and extensions of credit
In connection with obtaining or extending business relationships with our clients, on occasion we provide loans, advances and other credit to them. To the extent that these clients are unable to repay these amounts and they are not fully secured by collateral, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
Loss of the management contract for one of Aston's largest managed properties may adversely affect our Management and Rental segment and could lead us to record an impairment charge.
The owner of one of Aston's largest managed properties has been unable to repay or refinance the mortgage that matured on October 1, 2011. The owner has since received a notice of default. In the event the owner is unable to obtain new financing and reorganizes or liquidates under bankruptcy protection, Aston's management agreement may be terminated which could materially adversely affect the Aston business, and the financial condition and results of operations of our Management and Rental segment. The loss of this management agreement may require us to test the goodwill and other intangible assets of this reporting unit for impairment, which could result in recording an impairment charge at that time.
