Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. Basis of financial statement presentation

In this report Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. is referred to as the “Company”, and the Company and its subsidiaries are referred to collectively as “OEH”.

“FASB” means Financial Accounting Standards Board. “ASC” means the Accounting Standards Codification of the FASB and “ASU” means an Accounting Standards Update of the FASB.

(a) Accounting policies

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, operating results and cash flows have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s periodic filings, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2011 Form 10-K for additional information regarding significant accounting policies.

For interim income tax reporting purposes, the Company generally determines its best estimate of an annual effective tax rate and applies that rate on a year-to-date basis applicable to its ordinary income. The Company’s estimated annual effective tax rate excludes significant, unusual or infrequently occurring items, jurisdictions for which a reliable estimate cannot be made or where the estimated benefit of losses cannot be recognized, and certain other items excluded pursuant to the U.S. GAAP authoritative guidance. The income tax expense (or benefit) related to all other items is individually computed and recognized when the items occur.

The accounting policies used in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are the same as those applied in the prior year, except for escrow and prepaid customer deposits described below and changes made to ASC-codified items as described below.

Escrow and prepaid customer deposits

During 2012, management determined that amounts previously reported within investing activities related to escrow and prepaid customer deposits should be presented in cash flows from operating activities based on the nature of these cash deposits in relation to Company’s business operations. As a result, the statement of condensed consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2011 has been adjusted to reflect the impact of this change in presentation which resulted in a decrease to cash provided by operating activities and an increase to net cash provided by investing activities of $415,000. The reclassification of escrow and prepaid deposits from cash flows provided by investing activities to cash flows provided by operating activities from continuing operations has no impact on changes in cash or cash equivalents on the condensed consolidated balance sheets or on the statements of condensed consolidated operations, comprehensive income or total equity for the periods presented.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In September 2011, the FASB issued new guidance related to annual goodwill impairment assessments that gives companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. Under this guidance, if this option is selected, a company is not required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. This guidance became effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance concerning the presentation of comprehensive income in the financial statements. Under the amendments to the existing guidance, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income

or in two separate but consecutive statements. Under either option, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. The amendments eliminate the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in total equity. The amendments in this update do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and requires retrospective application. The FASB subsequently deferred the effective date of certain provisions of this standard pertaining to the reclassification of items out of accumulated other comprehensive income, pending the issuance of further guidance on that matter. OEH adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2012, and has presented total comprehensive income as separate statements of condensed consolidated comprehensive income. There was no other impact on OEH’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

In May 2011, the FASB issued guidance on fair value measurement and disclosure requirements. The amendments in this update result in a convergence in the fair value measurement and disclosure requirements under U.S. GAAP with those required under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”). Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements. Additional disclosure requirements in the update include: (1) for Level 3 fair value measurements, quantitative information about unobservable inputs used, a description of the valuation processes used by the entity, and a qualitative discussion about the sensitivity of the measurements to changes in the unobservable inputs; (2) for an entity’s use of a nonfinancial asset that is different from the asset’s highest and best use, the reason for the difference; (3) for financial instruments not measured at fair value but for which disclosure of fair value is required, the fair value hierarchy level in which the fair value measurements were determined; and (4) the disclosure of all transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. On January 1, 2012, the Company adopted this guidance, the impact of which did not materially affect the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012.

Accounting pronouncements to be adopted

In December 2011, the FASB issued accounting guidance that requires companies to provide new disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities and related arrangements for financial instruments and derivatives. The provisions of this guidance are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and are required to be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

(b) Net earnings/(losses) per share

The number of shares used in computing basic and diluted earnings/(losses) per share was as follows:

	Three months ended		Six months ended
	June 30, 2012	June 30, 2011	June 30, 2012	June 30, 2011
	‘000	‘000	‘000	‘000

Basic	102,890	102,469	102,803	102,450
Effect of dilution	973	1,176	—	—

Diluted	103,863	103,645	102,803	102,450

For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, all share options and share-based awards were excluded from the calculation of the diluted weighted average number of shares because OEH incurred a net loss in these periods and the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The average number of share options and share-based awards excluded from the weighted average shares outstanding were as follows:

	Three months ended		Six months ended
	June 30, 2012	June 30, 2011	June 30, 2012	June 30, 2011

Share options	1,593,622	1,127,718	2,956,559	2,856,900
Share-based awards	2,116	86,250	755,374	699,278

	1,595,738	1,213,968	3,711,933	3,556,178

The number of share options and share-based awards at June 30, 2012 was 4,039,349 (June 30, 2011 - 4,000,259).

2. Discontinued operations

At June 30, 2012, The Observatory Hotel, Sydney, Australia and The Westcliff, Johannesburg, South Africa were classified as held for sale. At December 31, 2011, Bora Bora Lagoon Resort, French Polynesia and Keswick Hall, Charlottesville, Virginia were classified as held for sale. During the periods presented, Bora Bora Lagoon Resort and Keswick Hall were sold.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, the results of operations of The Observatory Hotel, The Westcliff, Bora Bora Lagoon Resort and Keswick Hall have been presented as discontinued operations. In addition to these properties, discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 include the results of operations Hôtel de la Cité, Carcassonne, France, which was sold on August 1, 2011.

(a) Properties sold: Bora Bora Lagoon Resort and Keswick Hall

On June 1, 2012, OEH completed the sale of the shares of Bora Bora Lagoon Resort in French Polynesia for a cash consideration of $3,000,000. The hotel was a part of OEH’s hotels and restaurants segment. The disposal resulted in a gain on sale of $708,000 (including a $13,074,000 transfer of foreign currency translation amounts from accumulated other comprehensive loss), which is reported within earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax.

On January 23, 2012, OEH completed the sale of the property and operations of Keswick Hall in Charlottesville, Virginia for consideration of $22,000,000, of which $12,000,000 was paid in cash and $10,000,000 was settled directly with the lender as a reduction in the debt facility secured by the property. The hotel was a part of OEH’s hotels and restaurants segment. The disposal resulted in a gain of $2,066,000, which is reported within earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax.

The following is a summary of net assets sold and the gain recorded on sale for Bora Bora Lagoon Resort and Keswick Hall:

(b) Results of discontinued operations

On June 9, 2012, OEH entered into an agreement to sell The Observatory Hotel. OEH will continue to operate the hotel until the transaction closes, which is expected to be no later than mid-August 2012. On July 24, 2012, OEH entered into an agreement to sell The Westcliff hotel. The sale is expected to complete no later than the fourth quarter of 2012. OEH will continue to operate The Westcliff for a period of not more than 12 months after completion. OEH considers both hotels as non-core to the future business, with the sales releasing funds for debt reduction, cash reserves and reinvestment in other OEH properties. The hotels were included in the hotels and restaurants segment. These properties have been reclassified as held for sale and their results have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods shown.

Summarized operating results of the properties classified as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 (including residual transactions relating to properties disposed of in prior periods which are recorded in “Other”) are as follows:

3. Variable interest entities

OEH analyzes its variable interests, including loans, guarantees and equity investments, to determine if an entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). In that assessment, OEH’s analysis includes both quantitative and qualitative considerations. OEH bases its quantitative analysis on the forecast cash flows of the entity, and its qualitative analysis on a review of the design of the entity, organizational structure including decision-making ability, and relevant financial agreements. In accordance with the guidance for the consolidation of a VIE, OEH also uses its qualitative analysis to determine if OEH is the primary beneficiary of the VIE through the assessment of the powers to direct activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the VIE.

Charleston Place Hotel

OEH holds a 19.9% equity investment in Charleston Center LLC, owner of Charleston Place Hotel. OEH has also made a number of loans to the hotel. On evaluating its various variable interests in the hotel, OEH concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of this VIE because OEH is expected to absorb a majority of the entity’s residual gains and losses and has the power to direct the activities that impact the VIE’s performance, based on the current organizational structure.

The carrying amount of consolidated assets and liabilities of Charleston Center LLC included within OEH’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are summarized as follows:

	June 30, 2012 $’000	December 31, 2011 $’000

Current assets	7,724	8,167
Property, plant and equipment	185,013	185,788
Goodwill	40,395	40,395
Other assets	1,979	2,185

Total assets	235,111	236,535

Current liabilities	19,961	20,240
Third-party debt, including $1,789 and $1,784 current portion	89,638	90,529
Deferred income taxes	60,690	61,072

Total liabilities	170,289	171,841

Net assets (before amounts payable to OEH of $91,182 and $92,263)	64,822	64,694

The third-party debt of Charleston Center LLC is secured by its net assets and is non-recourse to its members, including OEH. The hotel’s separate assets are not available to pay the debts of OEH and the hotel’s separate liabilities do not constitute obligations of OEH. This non-recourse obligation is presented separately on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

4. Acquisitions

No acquisitions occurred during the three or six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

5. Investments in unconsolidated companies

Investments in unconsolidated companies represent equity interests of 50% or less and in which OEH exerts significant influence, but does not have effective control of these unconsolidated companies and, therefore, accounts for these investments using the equity method. These investments include the rail and hotel joint venture operations in Peru, the Hotel Ritz, Madrid, Eastern and Oriental Express Ltd. and the Buzios land joint venture.

OEH’s Peru hotel joint venture has completed the sale of Las Casitas del Colca for $5,590,000 on April 17, 2012. Additionally, on June 15, 2012, the Peru hotel joint venture opened Palacio Nazarenas, a 55-key hotel in Cuzco, Peru.

Summarized financial data for OEH’s unconsolidated companies are as follows:

	June 30, 2012 $’000	December 31, 2011 $’000

Current assets	74,391	70,536
Property, plant and equipment, net	342,422	344,576

Revenue	41,518	36,299	73,863	64,456

Earnings from operations before net finance costs	9,134	7,460	12,196	8,630

Net earnings	4,266	2,791	4,679	1,505

Included in unconsolidated companies are OEH’s hotel and rail joint ventures in Peru, under which OEH and the other 50% participant must contribute equally additional equity needed for the businesses. If the other participant does not meet this obligation, OEH has the right to dilute the other participant and obtain a majority equity interest in the affected joint venture company. OEH also has rights to purchase the other participant’s interests, which rights are exercisable in limited circumstances such as the participant’s bankruptcy.

The carrying amounts that relate to OEH’s unconsolidated companies are as follows:

	Investment		Due from unconsolidated company		Guarantees		Shareholder loans		Total
	June 30, 2012	December 31, 2011	June 30, 2012	December 31, 2011	June 30, 2012	December 31, 2011	June 30, 2012	December 31, 2011	June 30, 2012	December 31, 2011

OEH’s maximum exposures to loss as a result of its involvement with its unconsolidated companies are as follows:

	Investment		Due from unconsolidated company		Guarantees		Shareholder loans		Total
	June 30, 2012	December 31, 2011	June 30, 2012	December 31, 2011	June 30, 2012	December 31, 2011	June 30, 2012	December 31, 2011	June 30, 2012	December 31, 2011

The maximum exposure to loss for the Peru rail joint venture and Hotel Ritz, Madrid exceeds the carrying amount related to OEH’s unconsolidated companies due to guarantees discussed below, which are not recognized in the consolidated financial statements. As at June 30, 2012, OEH does not expect that it will be required to fund these guarantees relating to these joint venture companies.

The Company has guaranteed $8,322,000 and contingently guaranteed $10,400,000 of the debt obligations of the rail joint venture in Peru through 2016. The Company has also guaranteed the rail joint venture’s contingent obligations relating to the performance of its governmental rail concessions, currently in the amount of $6,453,000, through May 2013. The Company has contingently guaranteed, through 2018, $15,500,000 of debt obligations of the joint venture in Peru that operates four hotels and, through 2014, a further $4,432,000 of its debt obligations. The contingent guarantees for each Peruvian joint venture may only be enforced in the event there is a change in control of the relevant joint venture, which would occur only if OEH’s ownership of the economic and voting interests in the joint venture falls below 50%, an event which has not occurred.

Long-term debt obligations of the rail joint venture in Peru at June 30, 2012 totaling $16,972,000 have been classified within current liabilities of the joint venture in its stand-alone financial statements, as it was out of compliance with a leverage covenant and a debt service coverage ratio covenant in its loan facilities. Discussions with the lenders to bring the joint venture into compliance are continuing.

At June 30, 2012, long-term debt obligations totalling $81,853,000 of the Hotel Ritz, Madrid, in which OEH has a 50% equity investment, have been classified within current liabilities in the joint venture’s stand-alone financial statements as it was out of compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenant in its first mortgage loan facility, although a six-month waiver (expiring August 21, 2012) of the non-compliance had been received from the lender. Discussions with the lender to bring the hotel into long-term compliance are continuing. OEH and its joint venture partner have each guaranteed $9,518,000 of the debt obligations, and $389,000 of a working capital loan facility.

6. Property, plant and equipment

The major classes of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

	June 30, 2012 $’000		December 31, 2011 $’000

Land and buildings	1,009,076		992,748
Machinery and equipment	186,486		181,467
Fixtures, fittings and office equipment	191,484		184,618
River cruise ship and canal boats	18,158		18,061

	1,405,204		1,376,894
Less: Accumulated depreciation	(284,885	)	(269,237	)

	1,120,319		1,107,657

The major classes of assets under capital leases included above are as follows:

	June 30, 2012 $’000		December 31, 2011 $’000

Freehold and leased land and buildings	4,285		4,461
Machinery and equipment	904		828
Fixtures, fittings and office equipment	100		102

	5,289		5,391
Less: Accumulated depreciation	(1,234	)	(1,164	)

	4,055		4,227

The depreciation charge on property, plant and equipment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $10,398,000 (2011 - $10,818,000) and $20,800,000 (2011 - $21,229,000), respectively.

As of June 30, 2012, the property, plant and equipment of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, of $185,013,000 (December 31, 2011 - $185,788,000) is separately disclosed on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. See Note 3.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, OEH capitalized interest in the amount of $997,000 (2011 - $Nil) and $1,902,000 (2011 - $Nil), respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2011, capitalized interest amounted to $863,000. All amounts capitalized were recorded in property, plant and equipment.

7. Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended June 30, 2012 are as follows:

	Hotels and restaurants $’000		Trains and cruises $’000	Total $’000

Balance as of January 1, 2012	153,605		7,855	161,460
Foreign currency translation adjustment	(1,974	)	45	(1,929	)

Balance as at June 30, 2012	151,631		7,900	159,531

The gross goodwill amount at January 1, 2012 was $191,700,000 and the accumulated impairment losses recognized at that date was $30,240,000. All impairments to that date related to hotel and restaurant operations.

The assessment and, if required, the determination of goodwill impairment to be recognized uses a discounted cash flow analysis to compute the fair value of the reporting unit. When determining the fair value of a reporting unit, OEH is required to make significant judgments that OEH believes are reasonable and supportable considering all available internal and external evidence at the time. However, these estimates and assumptions are, by their nature, highly judgmental. Fair value determinations are sensitive to changes in the underlying assumptions and factors including those relating to estimating future operating cash flows to be generated from the reporting unit which are dependent upon internal forecasts and projections developed as part of OEH’s routine, long-term planning process, available industry/market data (to the extent available), OEH’s strategic plans, estimates of long-term growth rates taking into account OEH’s assessment of the current economic environment and the timing and degree of any economic recovery, estimation of the useful life over which the cash flows will occur, and market participant assumptions. The assumptions with the most significant impact to the fair value of the reporting unit are those related to future operating cash flows which are forecast for a five-year period from management’s budget and planning process, the terminal value which is included for the period beyond five years from the balance sheet date based on the estimated cash flow in the fifth year and a terminal growth rate, and pre-tax discount rates.

Examples of events or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to negatively affect the underlying key assumptions and ultimately impact the estimated fair values of OEH’s reporting units may include such items as (i) a prolonged weakness in the general economic conditions in which the reporting units operate and therefore negatively impacting occupancy and room rates, (ii) an economic recovery that significantly differs from OEH’s assumptions in timing and/or degree, (iii) volatility in the equity and debt markets which could result in a higher discount rate, (iv) shifts or changes in future travel patterns from OEH’s significant demographic markets that have not been anticipated, (v) changes in competitive supply, (vi) political and security instability in countries where OEH operates and (vii) deterioration of local economies due to the uncertainty over currencies or currency unions and other factors which could lead to changes in projected cash flows of OEH’s properties as customers reduce their discretionary spending. If the assumptions used in the impairment analysis are not met or materially change, OEH may be required to recognize additional goodwill impairment losses which may be material to the financial statements.

There were no triggering events in the six months ended June 30, 2012 that would have required OEH to assess the carrying value of goodwill.

8. Other intangible assets

Other intangible assets consist of the following as of June 30, 2012:

	Favorable lease assets $’000		Internet sites $’000	Trade names $’000	Total $’000
Carrying amount:
Balance as of January 1, 2012	13,460		1,609	7,100	22,169
Foreign currency translation adjustment	(291	)	21	—	(270	)

Balance as at June 30, 2012	13,169		1,630	7,100	21,899

Accumulated amortization:
Balance as of January 1, 2012	1,972		732	—	2,704
Charge for the year	178		66	—	244
Foreign currency translation adjustment	(46	)	10	—	(36	)

Balance as at June 30, 2012	2,104		808	—	2,912

Net book value:
As at December 31, 2011	11,488		877	7,100	19,465

As at June 30, 2012	11,065		822	7,100	18,987

Favorable lease intangible assets are amortized over the terms of the leases, which are between 19 and 60 years. Internet sites are amortized over 10 years. Trade names have an indefinite life and therefore are not amortized, but are assessed for impairment annually or when events indicate that impairment may have occurred.

Amortization expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 was $120,000 (2011 - $71,000) and $244,000 (2011 - $140,000), respectively. Estimated amortization expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2017 is $488,000.

9. Long-term debt and obligations under capital lease

(a) Long-term debt

Long-term debt consists of the following:

	June 30, 2012 $’000	December 31, 2011 $’000

Loans from banks and other parties collateralized by property, plant and equipment payable over periods of one to 20 years, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.19% and 4.32%, respectively	520,329	538,730
Obligations under capital lease	5,102	5,158

	525,431	543,888
Less: Current portion	112,416	77,058

	413,015	466,830

In connection with the renovation of El Encanto hotel, OEH entered into a loan agreement in August 2011 for $45,000,000 to be drawn as construction progresses. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, OEH borrowed $10,603,000 (December 31, 2011 - $Nil) under this facility. The loan has a maturity of three years, with two one-year extensions, at an annual interest rate based on monthly LIBOR plus 3.65%.

At June 30, 2012, one of OEH’s subsidiaries had not complied with certain financial covenants in a loan facility. The $2,222,000 outstanding on this loan has been classified as current and OEH expects to rectify this non-compliance in the second half of 2012. In addition, two unconsolidated joint venture companies were out of compliance with certain financial covenants in their loan facilities. See Note 5.

Most of OEH’s loan facilities relate to specific hotel or other properties and are secured by a mortgage on the particular property. In most cases, the Company is either the borrower or the subsidiary owning the property is the borrower, with the loan guaranteed by the Company.

The loan facilities generally place restrictions on the property-owning company’s ability to incur additional debt and limit liens, and restrict mergers and asset sales, and include financial covenants. Where the property-owning subsidiary is the borrower, the financial covenants relate to the financial performance of the property financed and generally include covenants relating to interest coverage, debt service, and loan-to-value and debt-to-EBITDA tests. Most of the facilities under which the Company is the borrower or the guarantor also contain financial covenants which are based on the performance of OEH on a consolidated basis. The covenants include a quarterly interest coverage test and a quarterly net worth test.

The following is a summary of the aggregate maturities of consolidated long-term debt, including obligations under capital lease, at June 30, 2012:

Year ending December 31,		$’000

2013		52,673
2014		140,008
2015		175,155
2016		4,386
2017		13,798
2018 and thereafter		26,995

		413,015

The debt of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, of $89,638,000 (December 31, 2011 - $90,529,000) is non-recourse to OEH and separately disclosed on the consolidated balance sheet. See Note 3.

Provision for income taxes	6,478	9,353	6,726	4,614

The Company is incorporated in Bermuda, which does not impose an income tax. OEH’s effective tax rate is significantly affected by its mix of income and loss in various jurisdictions as there is significant variation in the income tax rates imposed and also by the effect of losses in jurisdictions for which it is expected that the tax benefit of losses will not be recognizable at year-end. As described in Note 1, OEH forecasts its effective tax rate for the year and that rate is applied to interim results. Other items, however, are computed individually and recognized when the items occur. The significant components of these other items which cause variations in OEH’s customary relationship between income tax expense and pre-tax income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 include the following:

	Three months ended				Six months ended
	June 30, 2012		June 30, 2011		June 30, 2012		June 30, 2011
	$’000		$’000		$’000		$’000

15. Share-based compensation plans

Equity awards

Under the 2009 Share Award and Incentive Plan, OEH granted on March 9, 2012:

· share options on 31,700 class A common shares vesting on March 9, 2015 at an exercise price of $9.95 per share,

· deferred shares without performance criteria on 3,300 class A common shares vesting on January 30, 2015 and 104,000 class A common shares vesting on March 9, 2015 at a purchase price of $0.01 per share, and

· deferred shares with performance criteria on up to 386,600 class A common shares vesting on March 9, 2015 at a purchase price of $0.01 per share.

The Black-Scholes option pricing model is used to determine the estimated fair value of share options and the portion of deferred shares with performance criteria related to total shareholder return. The Monte Carlo valuation model is used to determine the fair value of the portion of deferred shares with performance criteria related to earnings before tax.

The estimated fair value of share options and deferred shares at March 9, 2012 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was based on the following assumptions:

	Share options			Deferred shares with performance criteria

Expected share price volatility	58		%	59		%
Risk-free interest rate	1.69		%	0.47		%
Expected annual dividends per share	$	0.00		$	0.00
Expected life of awards	8 years			3 years

Under the 2009 Share Award and Incentive Plan, OEH granted on June 7, 2012:

· share options on 330,200 class A common shares vesting on June 7, 2015 at an exercise price of $8.42 per share, and

· deferred shares without performance criteria on 109,000 class A common shares vesting on June 7, 2015 at a purchase price of $0.01 per share.

The estimated fair value of share options at June 7, 2012 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was based on the following assumptions:

	Share options

Expected share price volatility	58		%
Risk-free interest rate	1.07		%
Expected annual dividends per share	$	0.00
Expected life of share options	8 years

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s class A common share price and other factors. The expected life is based on historical data and represents the period of time that options or awards are likely to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the expected life is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant.

The total fair value of share-based compensation awards issued in the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 was $2,615,000 (2011 - $2,908,000) and $5,223,000 (2011 - $5,013,000), respectively.

The weighted-average fair value of the share options and share-based awards granted under the 2009 plan on the grant date was $5.95 per share (2011 - $12.65) and $5.42 per share (2011 - $6.73) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The total compensation related to unvested awards outstanding at June 30, 2012, to be recognized over the period July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2015, was $12,194,000. OEH recognized equity compensation expense of $1,572,000 in the three months ended June 30, 2012 (2011 - $2,040,000) and $3,582,000 (2011 - $3,612,000) in the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Liability awards

Previously awarded cash-settled stock appreciation rights have been recorded as other liabilities with a fair value of $83,000 at June 30, 2012 (December 31, 2011 - $111,000). See Note 10.

16. Fair values of financial instruments

Certain methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, working capital loans, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. The fair value of OEH’s long-term debt is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to OEH for debt of the same remaining maturities, and is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated fair values of OEH’s financial instruments (other than derivative financial instruments) as of June 30, 2012 are as follows:

	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
	Carrying amount $’000	Fair value $’000	Carrying amount $’000	Fair value $’000

Cash and cash equivalents	71,562	71,562	90,104	90,104

Accounts receivable	50,718	50,718	44,972	44,972

Working capital loans	487	487	—	—

Accounts payable	29,000	29,000	28,998	28,998

Accrued liabilities	96,326	96,326	87,617	87,617

Long-term debt, including current portion, excluding obligations under capital leases	520,329	516,171	538,730	509,866

Long-term debt, including current portion, held by a consolidated VIE	89,638	90,945	90,529	89,525

17. Commitments and contingencies

Outstanding contracts to purchase property, plant and equipment were approximately $28,543,000 at June 30, 2012 (December 31, 2011 - $15,432,000). Additionally, outstanding contracts for project-related costs on the Porto Cupecoy development were approximately $359,000 at June 30, 2012 (December 31, 2011 - $499,000).

As part of the consideration for the acquisition in January 2010 of Grand Hotel Timeo and Villa Sant’Andrea, OEH agreed to pay the vendor a further €5,000,000 (equivalent to $7,064,000 at date of acquisition) if, by 2015, additional rooms are constructed at Grand Hotel Timeo and certain required permits are granted to expand and add a swimming pool to Villa Sant’Andrea. No amounts have been paid to the vendor during the three or six months ended June 30, 2012. In the six months ended June 30, 2011, €1,500,000 ($2,040,000) of this amount was paid to the vendor as the appropriate permits to add a swimming pool to Villa Sant’Andrea were obtained. See Note 10.

In May 2010, OEH settled litigation for infringement of its “Cipriani” trademark in Europe. An amount of $3,947,000 was paid by the defendants to OEH on March 2, 2010 with the balance of $9,833,000 being payable in installments over five years with interest. The remaining payments, totaling $6,209,000 at June 30, 2012, have not been recognized by OEH because of the uncertainty of collectability.

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are parties to various legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business. The outcome of each of these matters cannot be absolutely determined, and the liability that the relevant parties may ultimately incur with respect to any one of these matters in the event of a negative outcome may be in excess of amounts currently accrued for with respect to these matters.

18. Information concerning financial reporting for segments and operations in different geographical areas

OEH’s segment information has been prepared in accordance with accounting guidance. OEH has three reporting segments, (i) hotels and restaurants, (ii) tourist trains and cruises, and (iii) real estate and property development, which are grouped into various geographical regions. At June 30, 2012, hotels are located in the United States, Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, southern Africa, South America, Southeast Asia, and South Pacific, a restaurant is located in New York, tourist trains operate in Europe, Southeast Asia and Peru, a river cruise ship operates in Myanmar and five canal boats in France, and real estate developments are located in the Caribbean and Southeast Asia. Segment performance is evaluated based upon segment net earnings before interest expense, foreign currency, tax (including tax on earnings from unconsolidated companies), depreciation and amortization (“segment EBITDA”). Segment information is presented in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 1. The chief operating decision maker is the Interim Chief Executive Officer.

Financial information regarding these business segments is as follows:

19. Derivatives and hedging activities

Risk management objective of using derivatives

OEH enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which is determined by interest rates. OEH’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of OEH’s known or expected cash receipts and payments principally related to its investments and borrowings.

Cash flow hedges of interest rate risk

OEH’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add certainty and stability to its interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, OEH primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. An interest rate swap is a transaction between two parties in which each agrees to exchange, or swap, interest payments where the interest payment amounts are tied to different interest rates or indices for a specified period of time and are based on a notional amount of principal. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, interest rate swaps were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable interest rate debt.

Derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income/(loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecast transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, OEH had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives stated at their notional amounts that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

	June 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
	‘000		‘000

Interest Rate Swaps	A$	10,650	A$	10,800
Interest Rate Swaps	€	131,752	€	148,332
Interest Rate Swaps	$	111,012	$	117,765

Non-derivative financial instruments — net investment hedges

OEH uses certain of its debt denominated in foreign currency to hedge portions of its net investments in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates. OEH’s designates its euro-denominated indebtedness as a net investment hedge of long-term investments in its euro-functional subsidiaries. These contracts are included in non-derivative hedging instruments. The fair values of non-derivative hedging instruments were $43,782,000 at June 30, 2012 (December 31, 2011 - $45,919,000), both being liabilities of OEH.

Economic hedges of interest rate risk

Derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are used to manage OEH’s exposure to interest rate movements but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of the authoritative guidance. As of June 30, 2012, OEH had interest rate options of €43,031,250 and $54,320,000 (December 31, 2011 - €43,593,750 and $54,880,000).

The table below presents the fair value of OEH’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification as of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

	Derivatives Instruments
	Balance sheet location	Fair value as of June 30, 2012 $’000		Fair value as of December 31, 2011 $’000

Derivatives designated in a cash flow hedging relationship:
Interest Rate Swaps	Other assets	—		—

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:

Amount of (loss)/gain recognized in interest expense	(12	)	(193	)	(33	)	45

At June 30, 2012, the amount recorded in other comprehensive income which is expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months is $3,853,000.

Credit-risk-related contingent features

OEH has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain provisions under which, if OEH defaults on any of its indebtedness, OEH could also be declared in default in respect of its derivative obligations. As of June 30, 2012, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, which includes accrued interest and an adjustment for non-performance risk, related to these agreements was $10,933,331. If OEH breached any of these provisions, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $11,319,470.

Fair value measurements

Derivatives are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The valuation process for the derivatives uses observable market data provided by third-party sources. Interest rate swaps are valued by using yield curves derived from observable interest rates to project future swap cash flows and then discount these cash flows back to present values. Interest rate caps are valued using a model that projects the probability of various levels of interest rates occurring in the future using observable volatilities. OEH incorporates credit valuation adjustments to reflect both its own and its respective counterparty’s non-performance risk in the fair value measurements.

In the determination of fair value of derivative instruments, a credit valuation adjustment is applied to OEH’s derivative exposures to take into account the risk of the counterparty defaulting with the derivative in an asset position and, when the derivative is in a liability position, the risk that OEH may default. The credit valuation adjustment is calculated by determining the total expected exposure of the derivatives (incorporating both the current and potential future exposure) and then applying each counterparty’s credit spread to the applicable exposure. For interest rate swaps, OEH’s own credit spread is applied to the counterparty’s exposure to OEH and the counterparty’s credit spread is applied to OEH’s exposure to the counterparty, and then the net credit valuation adjustment is reflected in the determination of the fair value of the derivative instrument. The credit spreads used as inputs in the fair values calculations represent implied credit default swaps obtained from a third-party credit data provider. Some of the inputs into the credit valuation adjustment are not observable and, therefore, they are considered to be Level 3 inputs. Where credit valuation adjustment exceeds 20% of the fair value of the derivatives, Level 3 inputs are assumed to have a significant impact on the fair value of the derivatives in their entirety and the derivative is classified as Level 3. OEH reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications quarterly. Transfers between levels are made at the fair value on the actual date of the transfer if the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer can be identified.

The following tables summarize the valuation of OEH’s financial liabilities by the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:

Introduction

OEH has three business segments, namely (1) hotels and restaurants, (2) tourist trains and cruises and (3) real estate and property development.

Hotels consist of 35 deluxe hotels (excluding Bora Bora Lagoon Resort which was sold on June 1, 2012, Keswick Hall which was sold on January 23, 2012, and The Observatory Hotel and The Westcliff hotel which were held for sale at June 30, 2012 and accounted for as discontinued operations), 30 of which are wholly or majority owned or, in the case of Charleston Place Hotel, owned by a consolidated variable interest entity. The owned hotels are referred to in this discussion as “owned hotels” of which 11 were located in Europe, six in North America and 13 in the Rest of the World. One owned hotel, El Encanto in California, is scheduled to re-open in early 2013 after renovation.

The other five hotels in which OEH has unconsolidated equity interests and which it operates under management contracts, are referred to in this discussion as “hotel management interests”. One of these hotels, Palacio Nazarenas in Peru, opened on June 15, 2012 after redevelopment. A sixth hotel, Las Casitas del Colca in Peru, was sold on April 17, 2012 for $5.6 million.

OEH currently owns and operates the stand-alone restaurant ‘21’ Club in New York, New York.

The hotels held for sale at June 30, 2012 were The Observatory Hotel in Sydney, Australia and The Westcliff in Johannesburg, South Africa. The results of these properties have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented. The sale of The Observatory Hotel was completed on August 8, 2012 for A$40.0 million ($40.8 milion). OEH has entered into an agreement to sell The Westcliff and expects to complete the sale in the fourth quarter of 2012.

OEH’s tourist trains and cruises segment operates six tourist trains — four of which are owned and operated by OEH, one in which OEH has an equity interest and exclusive management contracts, and one in which OEH has an equity investment — and a river cruise ship and five canal boats.

OEH’s real estate projects are in St. Martin, French West Indies, and Koh Samui, Thailand.

Average daily rate is the average amount achieved for the rooms sold. RevPAR is revenue per available room, which is the rooms’ revenue divided by the number of available rooms. Same store RevPAR is a comparison based on the operations of the same units in

each period, by excluding the effect of any hotel acquisitions in the period or major refurbishments where a property is closed for the whole of the period. There were no properties excluded from the same store data.

Overview

The net earnings attributable to OEH for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $11.8 million ($0.11 per common share) on revenue of $161.7 million, compared with net earnings of $5.2 million ($0.05 per common share) on revenue of $167.3 million in the prior year second quarter. OEH’s decreased revenue reflects the continued economic uncertainties in the Eurozone and the weakening of the euro and other currencies against the U.S. dollar. RevPAR of owned hotels on a same store basis decreased from $305 in the second quarter of 2011 to $298 in the second quarter of 2012, a 2% decrease when measured in U.S. dollars, but a 3% increase when measured in local currency. Occupancy remained flat at 59% for the second quarter of 2012 and 2011. Average daily rate decreased to $502 in the second quarter of 2012, compared to $514 for the same period in the prior year.

The net earnings from continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $11.7 million, an increase of $5.9 million compared with net earnings of $5.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011. The increase in earnings in the three months ended June 30, 2012 was mainly attributable to a $2.0 million decrease in net finance costs and a $2.9 million decrease in the tax charge. No impairments were recorded in continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 or 2011.

Europe

Revenue decreased by $5.8 million, or 8%, from $76.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $70.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012, largely due to the weakening of the euro and the Russian ruble against the U.S. dollar.

On a same store basis, RevPAR in local currency remained flat, although in U.S. dollars, OEH experienced a decrease of 7%.

North America

Revenue increased by $2.3 million, or 8%, from $27.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $30.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012, mainly generated by occupancy and average daily rate increases at Charleston Place Hotel and La Samanna totalling $1.8 million.

The European hotels collectively reported segment EBITDA of $26.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $28.8 million in the same period in 2011. This $2.0 million decrease in segment EBITDA results mainly from the weakening of the euro, the British pound and the Russian ruble against the U.S. dollar, which has resulted in a decrease to segment EBITDA of $3.1 million. As a percentage of European hotels revenue, the European segment EBITDA margin remained flat at 38% for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

Segment EBITDA in the North American hotels region increased by 30% from $5.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, to $6.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012. This segment EBITDA growth is mainly from La Samanna which contributed $0.8 million of the increase, and Charleston Place Hotel which contributed $0.6 million, due primarily to increases in average daily rate. As a percentage of North American hotels revenue, the North American segment EBITDA margin increased from 19% in 2011 to 23% in 2012.

Segment EBITDA in the Rest of the World hotels region increased by 6% from $4.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011, to $5.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012. Exchange rate movements caused revenue to decrease by $1.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012 compared with the same period in 2011. As a percentage of Rest of the World hotels revenue, the segment EBITDA margin for the three months ended June 30, 2012 increased to 17% compared to 16% for the same period in 2011.

Central overheads increased by $1.2 million, or 14%, from $8.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $9.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Net finance costs

Net finance costs were $10.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012. The three months ended June 30, 2011 included a foreign exchange gain of $1.1 million compared to a foreign exchange loss of $1.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012. Net interest expense decreased by $4.7 million, or 42%, from $11.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $6.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease is mainly due to the write-off of deferred financing costs at La Samanna of $1.7 million and swap termination costs of $0.9 million in the three months

ended June 30, 2011. Additionally, $1.0 million of interest was capitalized at El Encanto in the three months ended June 30, 2012, compared with $Nil in the prior year comparative period.

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased by $2.9 million, from a charge of $9.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 to a charge of $6.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2012 includes a deferred tax benefit of $2.4 million arising from fixed asset timing differences following movements in exchange rates compared to a $1.0 million tax charge in the three months ended June 30, 2011.

Earnings from unconsolidated companies

Earnings from unconsolidated companies, net of tax, increased by $0.8 million from $1.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2011 to $2.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2012, due mainly to OEH’s share of increased earnings from the rail joint venture in Peru. The tax provision associated with earnings from unconsolidated companies was $0.7 million in 2011 and $1.0 million in 2012.

Earnings from discontinued operations

The earnings from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $Nil compared with losses of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2011. Earnings from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2012 include a gain of $0.7 million on the disposal of Bora Bora Lagoon Resort, which was sold on June 1, 2012. Losses from The Observatory Hotel and The Westcliff for the three months ended June 30, 2012 were $0.5 million.

The results of discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2011 include earnings of $0.2 million from Keswick Hall and Hôtel de la Cité, which were sold in January 2012 and August 2011, respectively, offset by losses of $0.1 million from Bora Bora Lagoon Resort and $0.7 million from The Observatory Hotel and The Westcliff.

Overview

The net losses attributable to OEH for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $3.9 million (loss of $0.04 per common share) on revenue of $264.1 million, compared with net losses of $9.8 million ($0.10 net loss per common share) on revenue of $260.6 million for the same period in the prior year. OEH’s increased revenue reflects the improved business conditions in the North America and Rest of the World markets, offset by the weakening of European currencies against the U.S. dollar which is adversely impacting the U.S. dollar value of revenue from OEH’s European properties. RevPAR of owned hotels on a same store basis increased from $263 in the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $270 in the six months ended June 30, 2012, a 3% increase when measured in U.S. dollars and 7% in local currency. These gains have resulted from a combination of occupancy and average daily rate increases in North America and the Rest of the World. Occupancy remained flat at 58% in the first six months of 2012 and 2011. Average daily rate increased to $463 in the first six months of 2012, compared to $456 for the same period in the prior year.

The net losses from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $4.1 million, a decrease of $2.9 million compared with net losses of $7.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decreased loss in the six months ended June 30, 2012 was mainly attributable to a $6.5 million decrease in net interest expense. No impairments were recorded in continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2012 or 2011.

The European hotels collectively reported segment EBITDA of $19.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 compared to $22.0 million in the same period in 2011. This decrease in segment EBITDA results mainly from the weakening of European currencies against the U.S. dollar, which has resulted in a decrease to segment EBITDA of $1.4 million. As a percentage of European hotels revenue, the European segment EBITDA margin decreased slightly from 24% for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to 22% for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Segment EBITDA in the North American hotels region increased by 27% from $11.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011, to $14.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012. This segment EBITDA growth is mainly from Charleston Place Hotel, which contributed $1.4 million of growth, and La Samanna, which contributed $1.2 million, due primarily to increases in average daily rate.

Earnings from operations decreased by $0.1 million from $14.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $14.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012, due to the factors described above.

Net finance costs

Net finance costs were $18.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The six months ended June 30, 2011 included a foreign exchange gain of $2.1 million compared to a foreign exchange loss of

Net interest expense decreased by $6.5 million, or 32%, from $20.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $13.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease is mainly due to $1.9 million of interest that was capitalized at El Encanto, compared with $Nil in the prior year comparative period. In addition, OEH incurred a $1.7 million write-off of deferred financing costs at La Samanna and swap termination costs of $0.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Earnings from unconsolidated companies, net of tax, increased by $1.3 million from $1.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2011 to $2.3 in the six months ended June 30, 2012, driven mainly by increases in earnings from the rail joint venture in Peru.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

OEH had cash and cash equivalents of $71.6 million at June 30, 2012, $18.5 million less than the $90.1 million at December 31, 2011. In addition, OEH had restricted cash of $14.5 million (December 31, 2011 - $13.2 million). At June 30, 2012, there were undrawn amounts available to OEH under committed short-term lines of credit of $3.9 million (December 31, 2011 - $4.4 million) and undrawn amounts available to OEH under secured revolving credit facilities of $ Nil (December 31, 2011 - $Nil), bringing total cash availability at June 31, 2012 to $75.5 million, excluding the restricted cash of $14.5 million.

Current assets less current liabilities, including the current portion of long-term debt, resulted in a working capital balance of $32.9 million at June 30, 2012, a decrease from $99.4 million at December 31, 2011. The main factors that contributed to the decrease in working capital were increases in the current portion of long-term debt, accrued liabilities and deferred revenues, as well as a decrease in discontinued operations assets held for sale.

Cash Flow

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $18.3 million compared to $38.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. The decrease was mainly due to the effect of exchange rates on net earnings of $17.3 million as well as a decrease in deferred taxes and movements in working capital balances.

Investing Activities. Cash used in investing activities increased by $25.0 million to $33.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to $8.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Proceeds from the sale of property, plant and equipment which were the capitalized pre-development costs of the New York hotel project impacted the six months ended June 30, 2011 with no comparable transaction in 2012. The movement in investing activities from discontinued operations was attributable to the sale of

Keswick Hall in Charlottesville, Virginia for net proceeds of $11.1 million, after payment of $10.0 million of bank debt secured by the property, and the remaining proceeds of $2.5 million from the sale of Bora Bora Lagoon Resort in French Polynesia.

Capital expenditure of $45.6 million (including discontinued operations) during the six months ended June 30, 2012 included $18.6 million at El Encanto, $3.2 million at Hotel Splendido, $2.9 million at Copacabana Palace, $2.3 million at the two Sicilian properties, $2.2 million at Hotel Cipriani, $2.0 million at Inn at Perry Cabin and $1.8 million on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express.

Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2012 was $2.3 million compared to $55.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011, a decrease of $53.4 million. Higher repayments in the six months ended June 30, 2011 were related to the maturity and repayment of two facilities for which there were no comparable transactions in the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Capital Commitments

There were $28.5 million of capital commitments outstanding as of June 31, 2012 (December 31, 2011- $15.4 million). Additionally, outstanding contracts for project-related costs on the Porto Cupecoy development amounted to $0.4 million at June 31, 2012 (December 31, 2011 - $0.5 million).

OEH agreed in January 2010 to pay the vendor of the two Sicilian hotels a further $7.1 million if, by 2015, additional rooms are constructed at Grand Hotel Timeo and certain required permits are granted to add additional rooms and add a swimming pool to Villa Sant’Andrea. In February 2011, OEH paid $2.0 million of the contingent liability as the appropriate permits to add a swimming pool to Villa Sant’Andrea were granted. OEH has provided $3.8 million for the expected remaining liability for this contingency.

Indebtedness

At June 30, 2012, OEH had $525.4 million (December 31, 2011 - $543.9 million) of consolidated debt, including the current portion and excluding debt held by consolidated variable interest entities, largely collateralized by OEH assets with a number of commercial bank lenders which is repayable over periods of 1 to 20 years with a weighted average interest rate of 4.19%. See Note 9 to the Financial Statements regarding the maturity of long-term debt.

Debt of consolidated variable entities at June 30, 2012 comprised $89.6 million (December 31, 2011 - $90.5 million), including the current portion, of debt obligations of Charleston Center LLC, owner of the Charleston Place Hotel in which OEH has a 19.9% equity investment.

Including debt of consolidated variable entities, approximately 48% of the outstanding principal was drawn in European euros and the balance primarily in U.S. dollars. At June 30, 2012, 50% of borrowings of OEH were in floating interest rates.

Liquidity

During the six months ending December 31, 2012, OEH will have approximately $33.4 million of scheduled debt repayments including capital lease payments. OEH is negotiating with existing lenders to refinance and extend the maturity on approximately $10.9 million of debt that falls due in the remainder of the year.

Additionally, OEH’s capital commitments at June 30, 2012 amounted to $28.5 million. OEH expects to incur costs of a further $1.2 million to complete its Porto Cupecoy development, funded by sales proceeds as units are delivered to purchasers.

OEH expects to fund its working capital requirements, debt service and capital expenditure commitments for the foreseeable future from cash resources, operating cash flow, available committed borrowing facilities, issuing new debt or equity securities, rescheduling loan repayments or capital commitments, and disposing of non-core assets and developed real estate.

During 2011, for example, two loans totaling $131.5 million were refinanced with two new loans totaling $126.1 million, both of which mature in three years. The $5.4 million repayment on the two loans was funded out of cash resources. In addition, OEH signed a new $45.0 million loan facility providing partial funding for the completion of El Encanto, scheduled to reopen in early 2013. The loan has a term of three years, with two one-year extensions. Also in 2011, total gross proceeds of $41.9 million were received upon the assignment of purchase and development agreements relating to OEH’s proposed New York hotel project in April 2011, and upon the exercise of a call option in December 2011 by the assignee for excess development rights over the ‘21’ Club restaurant. Also in 2011, OEH completed the sale of the property and operations of Hôtel de la Cité in Carcassonne, France for a cash consideration of €9.0 million ($12.9 million).

During 2012, OEH completed the sale of Keswick Hall, Virginia for gross proceeds of $22.0 million, repaying associated debt of $10.0 million, and the sale of Bora Bora Lagoon Resort, French Polynesia for gross proceeds of $3.0 million. On August 8, 2012, OEH completed the sale of The Observatory Hotel, Sydney for cash proceeds of A$40.0 million ($40.8 million), of which A$10.7 million ($10.9 million) was used to repay a bank loan secured by the hotel. In June 2012, OEH refinanced a $13.3 million facility secured by Napasai, Koh Samui, extending the maturity from 2012 to 2015. Also, on August 1, 2012, OEH signed banking agreements to refinance €36.8 million ($46.8 million) of long-term debt maturing in 2013 secured by the two Sicilian hotels with a €35.0 million loan ($44.4 million) maturing in 2015. Subject to satisfaction of conditions precedent under those agreements, OEH expects to complete this refinancing in September 2012, and to fund the $2.4 million repayment out of cash resources. At June 30, 2012, the €36.8 million loan was classified as a current liability.

OEH has several loan facilities with commercial banks, most of which relate to specific hotel or other properties and are secured by a mortgage on the particular property. In most cases, the Company is either the borrower or the subsidiary owning the property is the borrower and the loan is guaranteed by the Company.

The loan facilities generally place restrictions on the property-owning company’s ability to incur additional debt and limit liens, and to effect mergers and asset sales, and include financial covenants. Where the property-owning subsidiary is the borrower, the financial covenants relate to the financial performance of the property financed and generally include covenants relating to interest coverage, debt service, and loan-to-value and debt-to-EBITDA ratio tests. Most of the facilities under which the Company is the borrower or the guarantor also contain financial covenants which are based on OEH’s performance on a consolidated basis. The covenants include a quarterly interest coverage test and a quarterly net worth test.

At June 30, 2012, one OEH subsidiary was out of compliance with financial covenants in a $2.2 million loan facility. This non-compliance is expected to be rectified in the second half of 2012. In addition, two unconsolidated joint venture companies were out of compliance as follows:

· the unconsolidated Peru rail joint venture in which OEH has a 50% interest was out of compliance with a leverage covenant in a loan of $8.6 million, which is non-recourse to and not credit-supported by OEH while it remains a 50% owner of the joint venture, and was out of compliance with a debt-service-coverage ratio in a second loan of $8.3 million, which is guaranteed by OEH. Discussions with the banks are ongoing to bring the joint venture back into compliance; and

· the Hotel Ritz, Madrid, 50% owned by OEH, was out of compliance at December 31, 2011 with the debt-service-coverage ratio in its first mortgage loan facility amounting to $81.8 million at June 30, 2012. Subsequent to December 31, 2011, a six-month waiver of the non-compliance was received from the lender, which expires on August 21, 2012. Although the loan is otherwise non-recourse to and not credit-supported by OEH or its joint venture partner in the hotel, they have each provided separate partial guarantees of $9.5 million, as of June 30, 2012, while discussions continue with the lender as to how to bring the hotel into long-term compliance.

OEH recognizes the risk that a property-specific or group consolidated loan covenant could be breached. In order to minimize this risk, OEH regularly prepares cash flow projections which are used to forecast covenant compliance under all loan facilities. If there is any likelihood of potential non-compliance with a covenant, OEH takes proactive steps to meet with the lending bank to seek an amendment to, or a waiver of, the financial covenant at risk. Obtaining an amendment or waiver may result in an increase in the borrowing costs.

Many of OEH’s bank loan facilities include cross-default provisions under which a failure to pay principal or interest by the borrower or guarantor under other indebtedness in excess of a specified threshold amount would cause a default under the facilities. Under OEH’s largest loan facility, the specified cross-default threshold amount is $25.0 million.

In order to assure that OEH has sufficient liquidity in the future, OEH’s cash flow projections and available funds are discussed with the Company’s board of directors and OEH’s advisors to consider the most appropriate way to develop OEH’s capital structure and generate additional sources of liquidity. The options available to OEH will depend on the current economic and financial environment and OEH’s continued compliance with financial covenants. Options currently available to OEH include increasing the leverage on certain under-leveraged assets, issuing equity or debt instruments and disposing of non-core assets and sales of developed real estate.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

As of June 30, 2012, OEH had adopted all the relevant standards that impacted the accounting for annual goodwill impairment assessments, presentation of comprehensive income and fair value measurement and disclosure, as reported in Note 1 to the Financial Statements.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

OEH is exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. These exposures are monitored and managed as part of OEH’s overall risk management program, which recognizes the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to mitigate material adverse effects on consolidated earnings and cash flows. OEH does not hold market rate sensitive financial instruments for trading purposes.

The market risk relating to interest rates arises mainly from the financing activities of OEH. Earnings are affected by changes in interest rates on borrowings, principally based on U.S. dollar LIBOR and EURIBOR, and on short-term cash investments. If interest rates increased by 10%, with all other variables held constant, annual net finance costs of OEH would have increased by approximately $0.8 million on an annual basis based on borrowings at June 30, 2012.

OEH’s properties match foreign currency earnings and costs to provide a natural hedge against currency movements. In addition, a significant proportion of the guests at OEH hotels located outside of the United States originate from the United States. When a foreign currency in which OEH operates devalues against the U.S. dollar, OEH has considerable flexibility to increase prices in local currency, or vice versa. Management believes that when these factors are combined, OEH does not face a material exposure to its net earnings from currency movements, although the reporting of OEH’s revenue and costs translated into U.S. dollars can, from period to period, be materially affected.

OEH management uses a sensitivity analysis to assess the potential impact on net earnings of changes in foreign currency financial instruments from hypothetical changes in the foreign currency exchange rates. The primary assumption used in this model is a hypothetical 10% weakening or strengthening of the foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar. At June 30, 2012, as a result of this analysis, OEH management determined that the impact on foreign currency financial instruments of a 10% weakening of foreign currency exchange rates in relation to the U.S. dollar would decrease OEH’s net earnings by approximately $2.2 million consisting of Russian ruble $0.9 million, Mexican peso $0.4 million and Thai baht $0.9 million.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of its interim chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of OEH’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(e)) as of June 30, 2012. OEH previously reported a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting (as defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(f)) relating to the accounting for income taxes in Item 9A — Controls and Procedures of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. Specifically, OEH did not maintain effective controls over the preparation and review of the calculations and related supporting documentation for certain tax assets and liabilities and the current and deferred income tax expense recorded in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. This material weakness was not remediated during the first six months of 2012 and, accordingly, the Company’s management has concluded that OEH’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2012.

Remediation Plan for Material Weakness Related to Accounting for Income Taxes

During the first six months of 2012, OEH has taken steps to remediate this material weakness, including designing a standardized form of internal tax report for each reporting entity within OEH and hiring additional resources in the preparation and review of the provision of income taxes. The Company will take further actions to improve internal controls over OEH’s accounting for income taxes and generally to strengthen its controls, including the following:

· improve policies, procedures and formal communications between the tax department and the financial reporting group relating to tax account reconciliation, analysis and review,

· undertake certain year-end tax analysis and reporting activities in periods earlier in the year in order to provide additional analysis and reconciliation time during the financial close period,

· continue to improve communications with subsidiary finance and accounting personnel regarding the requirements for tax jurisdiction-specific information, and

· enhance the training of tax accounting personnel, particularly with respect to the application of U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

OEH anticipates the actions described above will strengthen OEH’s internal control over financial reporting relating to the accounting for income taxes and will, over time, address the related material weakness identified as of December 31, 2011. However, because the remedial actions have only recently been undertaken and remain to be fully implemented, the Company’s management anticipates it will not be able to conclude that the material weakness has been remediated until, at the earliest, the end of OEH’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in OEH’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, OEH’s internal control over financial reporting.
