Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
The Company’s Senior Notes due 2020 and 2022 are guaranteed jointly, severally, fully and unconditionally, subject to certain customary limitations, by eight 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries. There are no legal or regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends to Choice Hotels International, Inc. from subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes. As a result of the guarantee arrangements, the following condensed consolidating financial statements are presented. Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Certain revisions have been made to correct immaterial errors in the condensed consolidating statement of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and condensed consolidating statement of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.  The revisions to the condensed consolidating statement of income decreased the Guarantor's marketing and reservation expense and total operating expenses by $0.8 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The revisions also increased the Guarantor's interest expense and total other income and expenses, net by $0.8 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. These revisions had offsetting adjustments to the same items in the Eliminations column. The following tables present the effect of the correction of these immaterial errors on selected line items in the Company's Guarantor Condensed Consolidating Statements of Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 has been revised from prior filings to reflect the reclassification of certain operating, investing and financing cash flows related to inter-company investment transactions between wholly-owned subsidiaries. The revisions to the condensed consolidating statement of cash flows increased the Guarantors net cash provided (used) by operating activities and decreased investment in affiliates and net cash used in investing activities by $9.7 million and decreased the Non-Guarantor's net cash provided (used) by operating activities and increased proceeds from contributions from affiliates and net cash provided (used) by financing activities by $9.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, with corresponding offsetting adjustments to the same items in the Eliminations column.  In addition, as described in Note 1 to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements, the consolidated statements of cash flows have been revised for the correction of the misapplication of GAAP related to the presentation of cash flows from the Company's forgivable notes receivable. As a result of this revision, the Guarantors net cash provided (used) by operating activities and net cash used in investing activities were each decreased by $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The following tables present the effect of the correction for the aforementioned items on selected line items included in the Company's Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2012:
