Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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 US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US generally accepted accounting principles (“US 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 statements.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

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, 2010.  See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2010 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 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 US 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 the changes made to ASC-codified items as described below.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting for fair value measurements and disclosures requiring a gross presentation of changes within Level 3 valuations period to period as a rollforward, and adds a new requirement to disclose transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. The new disclosures apply to all entities that report recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This amendment is effective in the first interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, with an exception for the gross presentation of Level 3 rollforward information, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim reporting periods within those years. The adoption of the provisions of this amendment required for periods beginning after December 15, 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures. See Note 20

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company has adopted guidance issued by the FASB in October 2009 that amends the accounting for revenue recognition on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. Specifically, the guidance addresses the unit of accounting for arrangements involving multiple deliverables. It also addresses how arrangement consideration should be allocated to the separate units of accounting, when applicable. The adoption of the provisions of this amendment is required for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance concerning the performance of the second step of goodwill impairment testing, namely measurement of the amount of an impairment loss. The ASU amends the criteria for performing the second step for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and requires performing the second step if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The adoption of the provisions of this ASU required for any impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2010 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the test is performed.

8

Recent accounting pronouncements

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 will become effective in fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is still evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.

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 US GAAP with those required under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in US GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  The amendments in this update may change the application of the requirements of fair value measurements.  This guidance will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company is still evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its 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		Nine months ended
	September 30, 2011	September 30, 2010	September 30, 2011	September 30, 2010
	‘000	‘000	‘000	‘000
Basic	102,604	90,844	102,502	89,333
Effect of dilution	—	—	—	—
Diluted	102,604	90,844	102,502	89,333

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, 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 was as follows:

	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 30, 2011	September 30, 2010	September 30, 2011	September 30, 2010
Share options	2,637,891	2,294,000	2,783,095	2,036,361
Share-based awards	702,818	663,932	700,471	556,750
	3,340,709	2,957,932	3,483,566	2,593,111

The number of share options and share-based awards was 3,228,785 at September 30, 2011 (2010 - 2,928,720).

2.         Discontinued operations

At January 1, 2010, Bora Bora Lagoon Resort, Lilianfels Blue Mountains hotel and La Cabana restaurant had been classified as held for sale. During the year ended December 31, 2010, OEH sold La Cabana and Lilianfels Blue Mountains, and classified Hôtel de la Cité and the Internet-based companies O.E. Interactive Ltd. and Luxurytravel.com UK Ltd. as held for sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Hôtel de la Cité was sold and the Internet-based companies were transferred back to continuing operations, leaving Bora Bora Lagoon Resort as the only property held for sale and included within discontinued operations as at September 30, 2011.

(a)          Hôtel de la Cité

On August 1, 2011, OEH completed the sale of the property and operations of Hôtel de la Cité in Carcassonne, France for a cash consideration of €9,000,000 ($12,933,000). The hotel was a part of OEH’s hotels and restaurants segment. The disposal resulted in a gain of $2,182,000 (including a $3,018,000 transfer of foreign currency translation gain from other comprehensive income), which is reported within earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax.

The following is a summary of the net assets sold and gain on sale:

	August 1, 2011
	$’000
Property, plant and equipment, net	13,147

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, OEH identified and recorded a non-cash property, plant and equipment impairment charge of $5,989,000 in respect of Hôtel de la Cité. The carrying values of the assets were written down to the fair value to reflect the level of offers being received at that time for the purchase of the hotel.

(b)         Assets held for sale: Bora Bora Lagoon Resort

As previously reported, OEH is selling its investment in Bora Bora Lagoon Resort, which is included in the hotels and restaurants segment. The property sustained damage as a result of a cyclone in February 2010 and is currently closed.  The property continues to be actively marketed and is saleable in its current condition as land for future development. OEH engaged additional selling agents who are appropriately incentivized to sell the property within one year, which OEH expects to achieve, and is currently in discussions with interested parties.

Bora Bora Lagoon Resort has been classified as held for sale and its results have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Summarized operating results of the hotel held for sale at September 30, 2011 and the hotels and restaurants held for sale at September 30, 2010 are as follows:

	Three months ended			Nine months ended

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, OEH identified and recorded a non-cash property, plant and equipment impairment charge of $2,150,000 in respect of Bora Bora Lagoon Resort. The carrying values of the assets were written down to the fair value to reflect the level of offers received for the purchase of the hotel. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the assets of Bora Bora Lagoon Resort were increased to their fair value, resulting in a gain of $1,550,000 from foreign currency fluctuations, which were included in earnings/(losses) from discontinued operations for the period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, a gain on sale of $562,000 was recorded on the disposal of Lilianfels Blue Mountains. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a gain of $7,183,000 (including a $7,292,000 transfer of foreign currency translation gain from other comprehensive income) was recorded on the disposal of Lilianfels Blue Mountains and a loss of $427,000 was recorded on the disposal of La Cabana. These gains and the loss are reported within earnings/(losses) from discontinued operations, net of tax.

Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
	$’000		$’000
Current assets	1,086		4,499
Other assets	—		9

Total assets held for sale	18,067		32,844
Liabilities held for sale	(1,808	)	(2,792	)

Assets and liabilities of Bora Bora Lagoon Resort are subject to foreign currency movements which result in corresponding and offsetting amounts within the currency translation adjustments account.

The current assets balance at September 30, 2011 includes residual assets of Hôtel de la Cité, which was sold in August 2011. Prior year comparatives include balances of Hôtel de la Cité and residual current assets of Windsor Court hotel, which was sold in October 2009.

(c)          Internet-based companies: O.E. Interactive Ltd. and Luxurytravel.com UK Ltd.

In December 2010, OEH decided to sell its Internet-based companies O.E. Interactive Ltd. and Luxurytravel.com UK Ltd. which are included in the trains and cruises segment.  These companies became held for sale based on a purchase offer from a third party.  However, the sale agreement has not been completed, and a lease transaction (with a purchase option) has been entered into instead. Therefore, these companies were transferred back to continuing operations as they no longer meet the criteria for held for sale treatment.  Results previously classified within discontinued operations have been transferred back into continuing operations for all periods presented.

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 or losses 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 sheet as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are summarized as follows:

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
	$’000		$’000
Current assets	9,380		5,897
Property, plant and equipment	186,969		188,502
Goodwill	40,395		40,395
Other assets	2,456		2,823
Total assets	239,200		237,617
Current liabilities	(21,612	)	(17,827	)
Third-party debt, including $1,766 and $1,775 current portion	(90,974	)	(92,304	)
Deferred income taxes	(61,835	)	(61,835	)
Total liabilities	(174,421	)	(171,966	)
Net assets (before amounts payable to OEH of $93,196 and $94,141)	64,779		65,651

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 new acquisitions occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

(a)          Grand Hotel Timeo and Villa Sant’Andrea

On January 22, 2010, OEH acquired 100% of the share capital of two hotels in Taormina, Sicily (Italy) — the Grand Hotel Timeo and the Villa Sant’Andrea — at a purchase price of €41,874,000 ($59,162,000) comprised of agreed consideration of €81,512,000 ($115,165,000) less existing indebtedness assumed and including estimated contingent consideration.  OEH purchased the two hotels to enhance both its presence in the Italian hotel market and its portfolio of leading luxury hotels globally.  No intangible assets were identified and the goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of profit growth opportunities these hotels are expected to

12

generate. All of the goodwill was assigned to OEH’s hotels and restaurants segment. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

OEH performed a preliminary fair value exercise to allocate the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities as at January 22, 2010, which was finalized in the quarter ended December 31, 2010. This resulted in a $468,000 increase in goodwill from settlement of outstanding tax positions and working capital items with the vendor of the properties.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the hotels and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, converted to US dollars at the exchange rate effective at the date of acquisition:

	Fair value on January 22, 2010
	$’000
Consideration:
Total agreed consideration	115,165
Less: Existing debt assumed	(61,654	)
Plus:  Contingent additional consideration	5,651
Purchase price	59,162
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents	45
Property, plant and equipment	101,173
Inventories	215
Prepaid expenses and other	406
Other assets	1,434
Accrued liabilities	(8,968	)
Deferred income taxes	(10,541	)
Other liabilities	(304	)
Long-term debt	(61,654	)
Goodwill	37,356
Net assets acquired	59,162

Acquisition-related costs which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $684,000. The purchase price of €41,874,000 ($59,162,000), net of contingent consideration of €4,000,000 ($5,651,000) described below, was €37,874,000 ($53,511,000) which was funded by cash payments and new indebtedness totaling €32,843,000 ($46,402,000), vendor financing of €5,000,000 ($7,064,000) and cash acquired of €31,000 ($45,000).

The acquisition of the two hotels has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations.  The results of operation of the hotels have been included in the consolidated financial results since the date of acquisition.

OEH has agreed to pay the vendor up to a further €5,000,000 (equivalent to $7,064,000 at January 22, 2010) 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.  The fair value of the contingent additional consideration at January 22, 2010 was €4,000,000 ($5,651,000) (determined using an income approach) based on an analysis of the likelihood of the conditions for payment being met.  In February 2011, OEH paid the vendor €1,500,000 (equivalent to $2,062,000 at February 28, 2011) of the contingent liability as the appropriate permits to add a swimming pool to Villa Sant’Andrea had been granted.

13

The following table presents information for Grand Hotel Timeo and Villa Sant’Andrea included in OEH’s consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date (January 22, 2010) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010:

	Three months ended September 30, 2010		Nine months ended September 30, 2010
	$’000		$’000
Revenues	6,640		8,886
Loss from continuing operations	(81	)	(2,623	)

As the acquisition of the Grand Hotel Timeo and Villa Sant’Andrea occurred on January 22, 2010, the pro forma results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, assuming acquisition of these hotels had taken place at the beginning of 2010, would not differ significantly from actual reported results.

(b)          Land at La Samanna

In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, OEH purchased land adjacent to its hotel at La Samanna in St. Martin from a third party. The consideration paid to the seller was a combination of cash and three condominium units and two boat slips at OEH’s Porto Cupecoy development.  Presented below is a summary of the transaction.

Nine months ended September 30,	2011	2010
	$’000	$’000
Non-cash value of assets exchanged	—	2,932
Cash paid	—	1,641
Assumed basis for land received	—	4,573

5.             Real estate impairment

Real estate assets at September 30, 2011 and 2010 included condominiums and marina slips remaining to be sold at Porto Cupecoy on the Dutch side of St. Martin. OEH records impairment charges against the carrying value of real estate assets if the carrying value exceeds the fair value less costs to sell.  During the third quarter of 2011, OEH determined that the fair value less costs to sell of real estate assets was less than the carrying value, which resulted in the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge of $36,869,000 (2010 - $24,616,000) (computed using Level 3 inputs, namely the estimated selling prices and estimated selling costs based on OEH’s recent experience with sales of condominiums and marina slips already completed). This impairment charge resulted primarily from changes in the estimates of price and pace of future sales as a result of current market conditions. Additionally as part of an overall impairment calculation, property, plant and equipment at the Porto Cupecoy development with a carrying value of $1,677,000 were written down to a fair value of $Nil. See Note 7.

The total impairment charge of $38,546,000 relates to the real estate and property development segment, and is reported within impairment of real estate assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment in the statement of condensed consolidated operations.

The determination of impairment incorporates various assumptions and uncertainties that OEH believes are reasonable and supportable considering all available evidence, such as the future cash flows, future sales prices and the related discount rate. However, these assumptions and uncertainties are, by their very nature, highly judgmental.  If the assumptions are not met, OEH may be required to recognize additional impairment losses.

6.             Investments in unconsolidated companies

Investments represent equity interests of 50% or less in which OEH exerts significant influence but does not consolidate.  OEH 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 and Eastern and Oriental Express Ltd.

14

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

	September 30, 2011	December 31, 2010
	$’000	$’000
Current assets	52,286	52,908
Property, plant and equipment, net	347,279	342,207
Other assets	4,670	4,695
Total assets	404,235	399,810
Current liabilities	155,004	165,416
Long-term debt	37,578	33,099
Other liabilities	105,619	91,123
Total shareholders’ equity	106,034	110,172
Total liabilities and shareholders’ equity	404,235	399,810

	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 30, 2011	September 30, 2010	September 30, 2011	September 30, 2010
	$‘000	$‘000	$‘000	$‘000
Revenue	38,527	32,689	102,983	79,424
Earnings from operations before net finance costs	9,501	6,673	18,131	16,029
Net earnings	4,244	3,123	5,749	5,872

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 any additional equity capital 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, exercisable in limited circumstances such as its bankruptcy.

The Company has guaranteed, through 2016, $9,405,000 of the debt obligations of the rail joint venture in Peru and, contingently guaranteed through 2016, $12,350,000 of its debt obligations. 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 $4,932,000 through April 2012.  The Company has contingently guaranteed, through 2016, $12,330,000 of debt obligations of the joint venture in Peru that operates four hotels and, through 2014, a further $8,370,000 of its debt obligations.  The contingent guarantees 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 Peru hotel joint venture at September 30, 2011 totaling $20,700,000 have been classified within current liabilities of the joint venture in its stand-alone financial statements, as it was out of compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenants in its loan facilities. It is expected that these loans will be refinanced before December 31, 2011.

Long-term debt obligations of the Hotel Ritz, Madrid, in which OEH has a 50% equity investment, at September 30, 2011 totaling $91,909,000 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 in its first mortgage loan facility. Discussions with the lender to bring the hotel into compliance are continuing.  OEH and its joint venture partner have each guaranteed $10,063,000 of the debt obligations and $146,000 of a working capital loan facility of Hotel Ritz, Madrid..

The Company has also guaranteed, through 2011, a $3,000,000 working capital facility to Eastern and Oriental Express Ltd. in which OEH has a 25% equity investment.

7.             Property, plant and equipment

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

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010

Less: accumulated depreciation	(301,354	)	(277,244	)
	1,205,343		1,268,837

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

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
	$’000		$’000
Freehold and leased land and buildings	4,412		4,614
Machinery and equipment	943		940
Fixtures, fittings and office equipment	430		446
	5,785		6,000
Less: accumulated depreciation	(1,539	)	(1,492	)
	4,246		4,508

The depreciation charge on property, plant and equipment was $11,732,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 (2010 - $11,469,000).  The depreciation charge on property, plant and equipment was $34,613,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (2010 - $33,819,000).

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, OEH identified a non-cash property, plant and equipment impairment charge of $23,934,000 in respect of Keswick Hall, Viriginia, USA.  The carrying value was written down to the hotel’s fair value.

Also during the three months ended September 30, 2011, OEH identified a non-cash property, plant and equipment impairment charge of $2,308,000 in respect of Casa de Sierra Nevada, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.  The carrying value was written down to the hotel’s fair value.

As part of the overall impairment charge at Porto Cupecoy during the three months ended September 30, 2011, OEH identified a non-cash property, plant and equipment impairment charge of $1,677,000 in respect of this property development. See Note 5

As of September 30, 2011, the property, plant and equipment of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, of $186,969,000 (December 31, 2010 - $188,502,000) is separately disclosed on the balance sheet. See Note 3.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, OEH capitalized interest in the amount of $Nil. For the year ended December 31, 2010, capitalized interest amounted to $3,130,000. All amounts capitalized were recorded in property, plant and equipment.

New York hotel project

On March 18, 2011, OEH agreed to assign its purchase and development agreements previously made with the New York Public Library relating to the site of the Donnell branch of the Library adjacent to OEH’s ‘21’ Club restaurant to an affiliate (the “Assignee”) of Tribeca Associates, LLC and Starwood Capital Group Global LLC.  The Assignee agreed to assume all the terms and obligations of

16

the contracts and to reimburse all previous deposit payments made by OEH and a $2,000,000 contribution toward fees incurred by OEH.  The transaction closed on April 7, 2011, resulting in gross proceeds received by OEH of $25,500,000. This transaction resulted in a gain, net of costs, of $502,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Based on terms under negotiation with interested parties in 2010, OEH recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $6,386,000 at December 31, 2010 on land and buildings for the capitalized pre-development expenses incurred in the period.

As part of this assignment, OEH entered into an option agreement which grants the Assignee a “call” option originally expiring July 19, 2011 to acquire 45,000 square feet of the approximately 52,000 square feet of excess development rights held by ‘21’ Club at a price to the Assignee of $13,500,000 and, alternatively, a “put” option expiring the same date to sell to OEH the excess development rights (approximately 65,000 square feet) of the Donnell branch site at a price to OEH of $16,000,000.  The option agreement expiration date has been extended several times, most recently to November 11, 2011.  The extensions include a further call option on approximately 4,800 additional square feet of development rights at a price to the Assignee of $2,850,000.  The closing date of the call options would be not later than December 31, 2011, and the closing date of the put option would be up to one year after its exercise and OEH may elect to defer payment to the Assignee up to 24 months after the closing date.  The parties anticipate that the Assignee will exercise its call options totaling $16,350,000 on the ‘21’ Club rights, but that purchase depends on negotiations with a third party not involving OEH.  If the call options are exercised, a portion of the proceeds would be used to repay in part the existing loan facility secured by ‘21’ Club, and any gain realized by OEH is expected to be taxable in the US.

8.             Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are as follows:

	Hotels and restaurants		Trains and cruises		Total
	$’000		$’000		$’000
Balance as of January 1, 2011	169,610		7,888		177,498
Foreign currency translation adjustment	(1,173	)	(17	)	(1,190	)
Balance as at September 30, 2011	168,437		7,871		176,308

The gross goodwill amount at January 1, 2011 was $195,316,000 and the accumulated impairment at that date was $17,818,000. All impairments to that date related to hotel and restaurant operations.

OEH’s goodwill impairment testing is performed in two steps, first, the determination of impairment based upon the fair value of each reporting unit as compared with its carrying value and, second, if there is an implied impairment, the measurement of the amount of the impairment loss is determined by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying value of the goodwill.  If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the goodwill is deemed to be impaired and is written down to the extent of the difference.

The determination of impairment incorporates various assumptions and uncertainties that OEH believes are reasonable and supportable considering all available evidence, such as the future cash flows of the business, future growth rates and the related discount rate. However, these assumptions and uncertainties are, by their very nature, highly judgmental.  If the assumptions are not met, OEH may be required to recognize additional goodwill impairment losses.

There were no triggering events in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 that would have required OEH to assess the carrying value of goodwill.

As at September 30, 2011	11,808	915		7,100	19,823

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. Tradenames have an indefinite life and therefore are not amortized.

Amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 was $236,000 (2010 - $216,000).  Amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $376,000 (2010 - $449,000).  Estimated amortization expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2012 to December 31, 2016 is $501,000.

10.          Long-term debt and obligations under capital lease

Long-term debt consists of the following:

Of the current portion of long-term debt, $Nil (December 31, 2010 - $28,000,000) related to revolving credit facilities which, although falling due within 12 months, are available for re-borrowing throughout the period of the loan facilities which are repayable in 2012.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, a loan facility totaling $100,000,000 (of which $88,000,000 was drawn) was refinanced with a new loan of $115,000,000.  The new loan has two tranches, one of $100,000,000 which was used to repay the previous debt, and the second tranche of $15,000,000 which will be used to fund the renovations planned for 2012 at the Copacabana Palace Hotel.  The loan matures in three years and has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.15% per annum.  Approximately 70% of the loan has been swapped from LIBOR to a fixed rate of 0.81%.

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.

18

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 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.

At September 30, 2011, two unconsolidated joint venture companies were out of compliance with certain financial covenants in their loan facilities. See Note 6.

The following is a summary of the aggregate maturities of consolidated long-term debt, including obligations under capital lease, at September 30, 2011:

The debt of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, of $90,974,000 (December 31, 2010 - $92,304,000) is non-recourse to OEH and separately disclosed on the balance sheet.  The debt was entered into in October 2010 and has a maturity of three years, with two one-year extensions. See Note 3.

Provision for income taxes	(5,796	)	8,762	(1,182	)	15,967

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 nine months ended September 30,2011 include the following:

Changes in uncertain tax positions	(790	)	46	(1,394	)	336
Changes in interest and penalties	76		62	(1,076	)	380

The changes in valuation allowances are due to changes in estimate concerning OEH’s ability to realize loss carryforwards in certain jurisdictions.

OEH recognized a tax benefit of $2,471,000 related to the release of certain prior year uncertain tax positions and related interest and penalties in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as a discrete item in the period.

16.          Share-based compensation plans

On March 1, 2011, OEH granted under the 2009 Share Award and Incentive Plan deferred shares without performance criteria covering 166,686 class A common shares of which 44,779 vested on June 30, 2011, 86,907 vest on March 1, 2012 and 35,000 vest on March 1, 2014. The stock price at the date of the award of deferred shares was $12.66 per share.

21

On May 31, 2011, OEH granted under the 2009 Share Award and Incentive Plan stock options on 421,600 class A common shares at an exercise price of $11.69 vesting on May 31, 2014. On the same day, it also granted under the 2009 Share Award and Incentive Plan deferred shares without performance criteria covering 13,600 class A common shares which vest on December 1, 2011, and deferred shares with performance criteria covering 147,915 class A common shares which vest on May 31, 2014. The stock price at the date of the award of deferred shares was $11.69 per share.

On June 13, 2011, OEH granted under the 2009 Share Award and Incentive Plan deferred shares without performance criteria covering 59,500 class A common shares which vest on June 13, 2014.  The stock price at the date of this award of deferred shares was $9.80.

No awards were issued in the three months ended September 30, 2011 or in the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The fair value of share-based compensation awards issued in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $5,784,000 (2010 - $4,878,000).

The weighted-average fair value of the stock options and share-based awards granted under the 2009 plan on the grant date was $Nil and $6.20 per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively (2010 - $Nil and $5.46).

Estimated fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was based on the following assumptions:

Expected share price volatility	54.56		%
Risk-free interest rate	1.40		%
Expected annual dividends per share	$	—
Expected life of stock options	5 years

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

The total compensation related to unvested awards outstanding at September 30, 2011, to be recognized over the period October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2014, was $10,005,000. OEH recognized equity compensation expense of $1,184,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2011 (2010 - $1,627,000). OEH recognized equity compensation expense of $4,796,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (2010 - $4,561,000).

Previously awarded SARS have been recorded as other liabilities with a fair value of $94,000 at September 30, 2011 (December 31, 2010 - $354,000). See Note 11.

17.       Fair values of financial instruments and non-financial assets

Certain methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, working capital facilities, 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.

22

The estimated fair values of OEH’s financial instruments (other than derivative financial instruments) as of September 30, 2011 are as follows:

	September 30, 2011
	Carrying amount	Fair value
	$’000	$’000
Cash and cash equivalents	119,013	119,013
Accounts receivable	45,669	45,669
Working capital facilities	175	175
Accounts payable	31,414	31,414
Accrued liabilities	42,728	42,728
Long-term debt, including current portion, excluding obligations under capital leases	566,630	526,500
Long-term debt, including current portion, held by a consolidated VIE	90,974	89,605

Non-financial assets fair value on a non-recurring basis

Assets of discontinued operations held for sale at Bora Bora Lagoon Resort were written down to its fair value of $2,850,000, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $2,150,000.  This write-down is included within losses from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  See Note 2.

Real estate assets held for sale at the Porto Cupecoy development were written down to their fair value (less costs to sell), resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $36,869,000 which was included in losses from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011. Additionally, as part of an overall impairment calculation, property, plant and equipment at Porto Cupecoy with a carrying value of $1,677,000 were written down to their fair value of $Nil. See Note 5.

Property, plant and equipment at Casa de Sierra Nevada with a carrying value of $14,308,000 were written down to fair value of $12,000,000, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $2,308,000.  Property, plant and equipment at Keswick Hall with a carrying value of $43,934,000 (including the value of land held for property development) were written down to fair value of $20,000,000, resulting in a non-cash impairment charge of $23,934,000. These write-downs were included in losses from continuing operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,2011. See Note 7..

18.          Commitments and contingencies

Outstanding contracts to purchase property, plant and equipment were approximately $6,520,000 at September 30, 2011 (December 31, 2010 - $43,658,000). Additionally, outstanding contracts for project-related costs at the Porto Cupecoy development were approximately $480,000 at September 30, 2011 (December 31, 2010 - $5,535,000).

OEH agreed to pay the vendor of Grand Hotel Timeo and Villa Sant’Andrea a further €5,000,000 (equivalent to $6,709,000 at September 30, 2011) 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.  In February 2011, €1,500,000 (equivalent to $2,062,000 at February 28, 2011) of this amount was paid to the vendor as the appropriate permits to add a swimming pool to Villa Sant’Andrea have been obtained.  See Note 4.

‘21’ Club is a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit brought by private banqueting service staff seeking to recover alleged retained gratuities and overtime wages pursuant to New York State and US federal wage and hour laws. In August 2011, the parties agreed in principle to settle the case by OEH paying plaintiffs $2,000,000, which has been accrued. In September, the court preliminarily approved the settlement and scheduled a final fairness hearing in January 2012. Funding of the settlement will occur promptly after court approval. Additionally, OEH has accrued $500,000 in legal and tax costs associated with the lawsuit and settlement.

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.

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 in March 2010 with the balance of $9,833,000 being payable in instalments over five years with interest.  The remaining payments totaling $8,183,000 at September 30, 2011 have not been recognized by OEH because of the uncertainty of collectability.

See Note 7 regarding assignment of the purchase and development agreements between OEH and the New York Public Library, including put and call options which are part of the contractual provisions under that assignment.

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

As reported in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K annual report, OEH has three reporting segments, (i) hotels and restaurants, (ii) tourist trains and cruises, and (iii) real estate and property development.  Segment performance is evaluated based upon segment net earnings from continuing operations before interest, foreign currency, tax (including tax on earnings from unconsolidated companies), depreciation and amortization (“segment EBITDA”).  OEH’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer, overseen by the Company’s board of directors. Financial information regarding these business segments is as follows, with net finance costs appearing net of capitalized interest and interest and related income:

20.          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. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for OEH making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional loan amount.

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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, these derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable interest rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, OEH had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives stated at their notional amounts in local currency that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

	September 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
	‘000			‘000
Interest Rate Derivatives
Interest Rate Swaps	A$		10,800	A$		11,100
Interest Rate Swaps	€	149,154		€	158,495
Interest Rate Swaps	$	120,740		$	154,728

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. These contracts are included in non-derivative hedging instruments.  The fair values of non-derivative hedging instruments were $48,301,000 at September 30, 2011 and $50,310,000 at December 31, 2010, both being liabilities of OEH.

Non-designated hedges of interest rate risk

Derivatives not designated as hedges are used to manage OEH’s exposure to interest rate movements but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements prescribed in the authoritative accounting guidance. At September 30, 2011, OEH had no interest rate swaps which did not meet hedge accounting requirements. At December 31, 2010, there was one interest rate swap with a notional amount of $8,327,000 that was not designated in a hedging relationship, which was cancelled in the three months ended September 30, 2011.  At September 30, 2011, OEH had interest rate options which were non-designated hedges with a notional amount of €43,875,000  ($58,868,000) and $55,160,000 (December 31, 2010 - €44,719,000 and $55,720,000).

At September 30, 2011, the amount recorded in other comprehensive income which is expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months is $3,178,000.

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.

At September 30, 2011, 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 $11,093,000. If OEH breached any of these provisions, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $11,730,000.

Fair value measurements

OEH reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications quarterly.  Changes in significant observable valuation inputs identified during these reviews may trigger a reclassification of the fair value hierarchy levels of financial assets and liabilities.  These reclassifications are reported as transfers in Level 3 at their fair values at the beginning of the period in which the change occurs and the transfers out at their fair values at the end of the period.

The tables below present a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of liabilities having fair value measurements based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011:

	Beginning balance at July 1, 2011	Transfers into/ (out of) Level 3		Realized losses includedinearnings	Unrealizedgains included inothercomprehensive income	Purchases, sales, issuances or settlements	Ending balance at September 30, 2011

Total liabilities	(277	)	(1,461	)	305	1,140	305	—

Where credit value adjustments exceeded 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 valuation has been classified in the Level 3 category. The transfers out of Level 3 in 2011 represented new swaps as at December 31, 2010 with a fair value close to zero where the credit valuation adjustment was previously greater than 20% of the fair value.

The amount of total losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 included in earnings that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those liabilities still held was $Nil in all periods.

The following tables summarize the valuation of OEH’s financial liabilities by the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

	September 30, 2011
	Level 1	Level 2		Level 3	Total

Net liabilities	—	(14,289	)	(277	)	(14,566	)

The fair value of OEH’s derivative financial instruments is computed based on an income approach using appropriate valuation techniques including discounting future cash flows and other methods that are consistent with accepted economic methodologies for pricing financial instruments.

21.       Adjustments to prior period amounts

Subsequent to the issuance of OEH’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, management determined that OEH’s non-current deferred income tax liabilities were understated by $5,972,000 due to a misstatement in computing the temporary difference between the tax and book value of its property, plant and equipment, resulting in a restatement of the following consolidated balance sheet accounts:

	December 31, 2010
	As previously reported	As restated	Adjustment
	$’000	$’000	$’000
Deferred income tax liabilities	100,730	106,702	5,972
Retained earnings	140,015	134,043	(5,972	)

This prior period adjustment does not affect OEH’s net losses or losses per share for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The effect of correcting this misstatement has decreased retained earnings at January 1, 2010 and 2011 by $5,972,000, and has increased non-current deferred income tax liabilities by a corresponding amount at each date.  The restatement does not affect OEH’s net earnings/(losses) or cash flows in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended to December 31, 2010.

22.       Related party transactions

OEH manages under long-term contract the tourist train owned by Eastern and Oriental Express Ltd., in which OEH is an equity method investor, and guarantees its $3,000,000 working capital facility.  This guarantee was in place before December 31, 2004.  The amount due to OEH from Eastern and Oriental Express Ltd. at September 30, 2011 was $3,249,000 (December 31, 2010 - $1,126,000).

Introduction

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

Hotels during the three months ended September 30, 2011 consisted of 40 deluxe hotels (excluding Hôtel de la Cité which was sold on August 1, 2011), 35 of which were wholly or majority owned or, in the case of Charleston Place Hotel, owned by a consolidated variable interest entity.  Of the 35 owned hotels, two were purchased in 2010 and, as noted below, one was held for sale at September 30, 2011 and is accounted for as discontinued operations.  The other 34 owned hotels are referred to in this discussion as “owned hotels” of which 12 were located in Europe, seven in North America and 15 in the rest of the world.

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”.

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

The hotel held for sale at September 30, 2011, as previously reported, was Bora Bora Lagoon Resort in French Polynesia.  The results of this property have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented.  Bora Bora Lagoon Resort continues to be actively marketed and is saleable in its current condition as land for future development.  OEH has engaged selling agents who are appropriately incentivized to sell the property during 2011, which OEH expects to achieve, and is currently in discussions with interested parties.

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, OEH completed the sale of the assets of Hôtel de la Cité in August 2011 for cash consideration of €9.0 million ($12.9 million).

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 active real estate projects are in St. Martin, French West Indies, Keswick, Virginia and Koh Sumai, Thailand.

Regarding OEH’s Porto Cupecoy development project, in the third quarter of 2010, OEH transferred marina and commercial units previously classified as held for use within property, plant and equipment into real estate assets held for sale. In the third quarters of 2011 and 2010, OEH determined that the fair value less costs to sell of real estate assets of Porto Cupecoy was less than the carrying value, which resulted in the recognition of non-cash impairment charges of $36.9 million (2010 - $24.6 million) (computed using Level 3 inputs, namely the estimated selling prices and estimated selling costs based on OEH’s recent experience with sales of condominiums and marina slips already completed).  These impairment charges resulted primarily from changes in future estimates of the price and pace of sales as a result of current market conditions. Additionally as part of an overall impairment calculation in the

32

third quarter of 2011, property, plant and equipment at the Porto Cupecoy development with a carrying value of $1.7 million were written down to a fair value of $Nil.

During the third quarter of 2011, OEH identified non-cash impairment charges to property, plant and equipment at two of its hotels, Keswick Hall and Casa de Sierra Nevada, in the respective amounts of $23.9 million and $2.3 million. The carrying value of the hotels’ property, plant and equipment was written down to fair value.

In December 2010, OEH decided to sell its Internet-based companies O.E. Interactive Ltd. and Luxurytravel.com UK Ltd. which are included in the trains and cruises segment.  These companies became held for sale based on a purchase offer from a third party.  As of June 30, 2011, however, the sale agreement had not been signed, and a lease transaction (with an option to purchase)  has now occurred instead. Therefore, these companies were transferred back to continuing operations in 2011 as they no longer meet the criteria for held for sale treatment, and their results were reclassified into continuing operations for all periods presented.

In March 2011, OEH assigned its purchase and development agreements previously made with the New York Public Library relating to the site of the Donnell branch of the Library adjacent to OEH’s ‘21’ Club restaurant.  The assignee agreed to assume all the terms and obligations of the contracts and to reimburse all previous deposit payments made by OEH and a $2.0 million contribution toward fees incurred by OEH.  The transaction closed on April 7, 2011, resulting in gross proceeds received by OEH of $25.5 million and a gain, net of costs, of $0.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  As part of the assignment, OEH entered into put and call option agreements with the assignee relating to future development rights of the ‘21’ Club and Donnell sites. See Note 7 to the Financial Statements.

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 acquisitions, dispositions (including discontinued operations), closed periods or major refurbishments. No hotel operations were excluded for same store RevPAR data in the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Overview

The net losses for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $50.1 million ($0.49 per common share) on revenue of $183.9 million, compared with a net loss of $22.5 million ($0.25 per common share) on revenue of $179.7 million in the third quarter of the prior year.

Business conditions in the global lodging industry have improved. RevPAR of OEH’s owned hotels on a same store basis increased from $266 in the third quarter of 2010 to $316 in the third quarter of 2011, a 19% increase when measured in US dollars and 14% in local currency. These gains have resulted partly from better occupancy of 61% in the third quarter of 2011, compared to 59% for the same period in the prior year. Additionally, the average daily rate improved to $515 in the third quarter of 2011, compared to $448 for the same period in the prior year.  OEH has seen growth in both average daily rate and occupancy and, based in part on current bookings, sees continuing positive demand for its travel products in most of its markets. OEH will continue to monitor its costs with the aim of achieving significant efficiencies throughout the remainder of 2011 and beyond.

35

The net losses from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were $49.3 million compared with net losses of $23.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Total revenue increased by $4.2 million, or 2%, from $179.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $183.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011.  Revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2011 included $3.9 million (2010 - $25.0 million) relating to units delivered to purchasers at Porto Cupecoy. Excluding real estate, revenue increased $25.3 million, or 16%, for the three months ending September 30, 2011 compared to the same quarter in 2010.

Owned Hotels:  The change in revenue at owned hotels is analyzed on a regional basis as follows:

Europe

Revenue increased by $16.6 million, or 23%, from $72.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $89.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, led by strong demand from the UK and US at the Italian hotels where revenue was up $11.4 million compared to the same quarter last year. Improved trading conditions across Europe caused average daily rate to increase by 19% from $699 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $830 in the three months ended September 30, 2011. Occupancy for the region increased from 66% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to 72% in the three months ended September 30, 2011. On a same store basis, RevPAR in US dollars increased 30% and local currency increased by 21%.

Exchange rate movements caused revenue to increase by $6.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared with the same period in 2010.

North America

Revenue increased by $1.1 million, or 5%, from $23.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $24.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011, largely due to strong September performance at Charleston Place Hotel. Same store RevPAR increased 8% from $175 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $189 in the three months ended September 30, 2011. Average daily rate increased by 6%, from $272 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $289 in the three months ended September 30, 2011. Occupancy also increased by 1% from 64% in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to 65% in the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Rest of the World

Revenue increased by $3.0 million, or 9%, from $33.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $36.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011.  Exchange rate movements across the region were responsible for $1.6 million of the revenue increase.

Same store RevPAR in US dollars for the three months ended September 30, 2011 decreased $44, or 27%, from $166 in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to $122 for the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Revenue at OEH’s Australian property increased by $0.9 million, or 30%, to $3.9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011. Of the change in revenue, 67%, or $0.6 million, was due to the strengthening of the Australian dollar against the US dollar.

Revenue for the Asian properties increased by $1.6 million, or 26%, to $7.7 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011. Of the revenue increase, $0.7 million was attributable to Napasai, where there was a temporary closure for beach works in 2010.  Of the change in revenue, 19%, or $0.3 million, was due to exchange rate movements.

Impairment of real estate assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment

In the three months ended September 30, 2011, OEH identified a non-cash real estate asset impairment charge of $36.9 million (2010 - $24.6 million) in respect of its Porto Cupecoy development project.  OEH determined that the fair value of real estate assets was less than the carrying value. The charge was computed using Level 3 inputs, namely the estimated selling prices and estimated selling costs based on OEH’s recent experience with sales of condominiums and marina slips already completed.   This impairment charge resulted primarily from changes in estimates of the price and pace of future sales as a result of current market conditions. Additionally as part of an overall impairment calculation, property, plant and equipment at the Porto Cupecoy development with a carrying value of $1.7 million was written down to a fair value of $Nil. See Note 5 to the Financial Statements.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, OEH identified non-cash property, plant and equipment impairment charges of $2.3 million in respect of Casa de Sierra Nevada, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and $23.9 million in respect of Keswick Hall, Virginia, USA.  The carrying values were written down to the hotels’ fair values. See Note 7 to the Financial Statements.

During the three months ended September 30, 2010, OEH identified the following non-cash goodwill impairment charges within its continuing operations at La Samanna and Napasai. OEH determined these impairments were triggered as both hotels had circumstances relating to performance and expected reductions in future profits that required a reassessment (dollars in millions):

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased by $14.6 million from a charge of $8.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2010 to a benefit of $5.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011.

In the three months ended September 30, 2011, OEH identified and recorded a non-cash property, plant and equipment impairment charge of $2.2 million in respect of Bora Bora Lagoon Resort. The carrying values of the assets were written down to the fair value to reflect the level of offers received for the purchase of the hotel.

Trains and Cruises: Revenue increased by $11.6 million, or 25%, from $45.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $57.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  All businesses included within the trains and cruises segment showed increases from the nine months ended September 30, 2010, mainly from improved customer demand.  The largest increase was from Venice Simplon-Orient-Express by $4.0 million, or 26%, from $15.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $19.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Exchange rate movements across the segment were responsible for $2.5 million of the revenue increase.

44

Real Estate: Fourteen condominiums were delivered to customers at Porto Cupecoy generating revenue of $7.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and sales contracts were signed on ten units in the period. At September 30, 2011, there were 113 units transferred to customers and 71 units remaining to be sold.  Additionally, in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, revenue of $1.9 million was recognized on the sale of a model home on the residential sites at Keswick Estate, Virginia. There was no real estate revenue at Keswick Hall in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, nor at Napasai, Koh Samui, Thailand in the same period and in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.7 million from $34.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $35.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Cost of services

Cost of services decreased by $17.6 million from $239.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $222.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Cost of services included an expense of $56.1 million in respect of Porto Cupecoy principally due to delivery of units under contracted sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The equivalent expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $7.0 million. Excluding Porto Cupecoy, cost of services increased by $31.5 million. Exchange rate movements were responsible for $5.3 million of the increase. Cost of services was 55% of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 48% of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Excluding Porto Cupecoy, cost of services as a percentage of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was 48% and for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 47%.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $28.7 million from $140.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $169.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. Exchange rate movements were responsible for $4.8 million of the total increase. Selling, general and administrative expenses were 32% of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 36% of revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Impairment of real estate assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, OEH identified a non-cash real estate asset impairment charge of $36.9 million (2010 - $24.6 million) in respect of its Porto Cupecoy development project.  OEH determined that the fair value of real estate assets was less than the carrying value. The charge was computed using Level 3 inputs, namely the estimated selling prices and estimated selling costs based on OEH’s recent experience with sales of condominiums and marina slips already completed. This impairment charge resulted primarily from changes in estimates of the price and pace of future sales as a result of current market conditions. Additionally as part of an overall impairment calculation, property, plant and equipment at the Porto Cupecoy development with a carrying value of $1.7 million were written down to a fair value of $Nil.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, OEH identified non-cash property, plant and equipment impairment charges of $2.3 million in respect of Casa de Sierra Nevada, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, and $23.9 million in respect of Keswick Hall, Virginia, USA. The carrying values were written down to the hotels’ fair values.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, OEH identified the following non-cash goodwill impairment charges within its continuing operations at La Samanna and Napasai. OEH determined these impairments were triggered as both hotels had circumstances relating to performance and expected reductions in future profits that required a reassessment (dollars in millions):

La Samanna	$	5.4
Napasai	0.5
	$	5.9

The European hotels collectively reported a segment EBITDA of $58.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to $37.7 million in the same period in 2010. The improvement was largely due to the Italian hotels. As a percentage of European hotels revenue, the European segment EBITDA margin grew from 27% in 2010 to 33% in 2011.

Segment EBITDA in the North American hotels region increased by 8% from $11.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $12.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. As a percentage of North American hotels revenue, the North American segment EBITDA margin remained flat at 15% for 2010 and 2011.

Segment EBITDA in the Rest of the World hotels region decreased by 7% from $23.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $22.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The decrease was mainly due to the South African hotels following the 2010 World Cup football tournament in that country and increased competition in Cape Town and Johannesburg.  As a percentage of Rest of the World hotels revenue, the Rest of the World segment EBITDA margin decreased from 23% in 2010 to 19% in 2011.

Segment EBITDA in restaurants decreased by $2.4 million from earnings of $0.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to a loss of $2.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The movement was due to a $2.5 million litigation accrual.

Segment EBITDA in tourist trains and cruises increased by 18% from $12.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, to $14.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. As a percentage of revenue from tourist trains and cruises, segment EBITDA margin decreased from 26% in 2010 to 25% in 2011.

Central overheads increased by 28% from $20.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, to $26.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This increase included management restructuring costs and CEO search and other professional fees of $2.0 million.  As a percentage of revenue, central overheads increased from 5% in 2010 to 6% in 2011.

Losses from operations before net finance costs

Losses from operations increased by $19.4 million from a loss of $6.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to a loss of $26.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, due to the factors described above.

Net finance costs

Net finance costs increased by $17.0 million, or 89%, from $19.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $36.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The nine months ended September 30, 2010 included a foreign exchange gain of $3.0 million compared to a foreign exchange loss of $2.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Excluding these foreign exchange items, net finance costs increased by $11.5 million, or 52%, from $22.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $33.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  This increase in the 2011 period was primarily as a result of higher interest rates on debt refinanced in 2010,  the write-off of deferred financing costs of $1.7 million at La Samanna, and swap and loan termination costs of $3.5 million related to loan facilities in Brazil and Italy. Also, in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, interest was capitalized of $3.2 million, while $Nil was capitalized in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

46

Provision for income taxes

The provision for income taxes decreased by $17.2 million from a charge of $16.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to a benefit of $1.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included a deferred tax charge of $3.8 million in respect of valuation allowances due to a change in estimate concerning OEH’s ability to realize loss carryforwards in certain jurisdictions, compared to a $Nil charge for valuation allowances in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included a deferred tax credit of $2.9 million arising from fixed asset timing differences following movements in exchange rates compared to a $0.9 million tax charge in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In addition, a deferred tax credit of $7.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 arose in respect to timing differences following the impairment of various fixed assets, compared to a $Nil in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

OEH’s tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 included a tax credit of $2.5 million in respect of the provision for uncertain tax positions, of which $1.1 million related to potential interest and penalty costs. OEH’s tax provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included a tax charge of $0.7 million in respect of uncertain tax position provisions, including a charge of $0.4 million that related to potential interest and penalty costs.

As explained in Note 21 to the Financial Statements, the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2010 has been restated to adjust non-current deferred tax liabilities.  The restatement does not affect OEH’s net loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.

Earnings from unconsolidated companies

Earnings from unconsolidated companies net of tax increased by $0.8 million, from $2.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $3.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  The amount for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 included insurance income of $0.8 million from PeruRail, which was impacted by the damage to tracks caused by floods during the first quarter of 2010. The tax expense associated with earnings from unconsolidated companies was $1.1 million in 2010 and $1.4 million in 2011.

Loss/earnings from discontinued operations

The loss from discontinued operations was $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to earnings of $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Bora Bora Lagoon Resort’s net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $2.4 million, compared with net earnings of $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, OEH identified and recorded a non-cash property, plant and equipment impairment charge of $2.2 million in respect of Bora Bora Lagoon Resort. The profit at Bora Bora Lagoon Resort for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily due to the settlement of outstanding insurance claims relating to cyclone damage sustained at the hotel in February 2010, resulting in a gain of $5.8 million in the period, partially offset by restructuring and inventory impairment charges of $2.7 million.

Hôtel de la Cité’s net earnings were $1.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, when it was sold, compared to net losses of $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 (including an impairment charge of $6.0 million relating to property, plant and equipment). The gain on sale when it was sold on August 1, 2011 was $2.2 million, including a $3.0 million transfer of foreign currency translation gain from other comprehensive income.

The nine months ended September 30, 2010 amount included a gain of $7.0 million due to the release of the cumulative translation adjustment upon the sale of Lilianfels Blue Mountains in January 2010. The loss on the sale of La Cabana of $0.4 million was also recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, along with earnings arising from Bora Bora Lagoon Resort and Lapa Palace, offset by losses arising from Hôtel de la Cité and Windsor Court Hotel.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Working Capital

OEH had cash and cash equivalents of $119.0 million at September 30, 2011, $31.4 million less than the $150.4 million at December 31, 2010. In addition, OEH had restricted cash of $14.0 million (December 31, 2010 - $8.4 million).  At September 30, 2011, there were undrawn amounts available to OEH under committed short-term lines of credit of $4.6 million (December 31, 2010 -

47

$12.1 million) and undrawn amounts available to OEH under secured revolving credit facilities of $Nil (December 31, 2010 - $12.0 million), bringing total cash availability at September 30, 2011 to $123.6 million, excluding the restricted cash of $14.0 million.

Current assets less current liabilities, including the current portion of long-term debt, resulted in a working capital balance of $110.9 million at September 30, 2011, a decrease from $142.2 million at December 31, 2010.  The main factor that contributed to the decrease in working capital was the impairment of real estate assets and increases in deferred revenues and other accruals at September 30, 2011.

Cash Flow

Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $3.0 million from $55.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 to $58.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. The increase was due to better performance of the continuing hotels in the first nine months of 2011 as business conditions in the global lodging industry improved, as well as an increase in accrued liabilities and deferred revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Investing Activities.  Cash used in investing activities reduced by $47.1 million to a $14.1 million cash outflow for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to $61.2 million cash outflow for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The first nine months of 2010 included acquisitions of $46.3 million, net of cash acquired in respect of the Grand Hotel Timeo and Villa Sant’Andrea purchase.  There were no new acquisitions in the first nine months of 2011.

There was a net increase in restricted cash in the first nine months of 2011 of $5.6 million compared to a net decrease of $6.0 million in the first nine months of 2010. The movement in the first nine months of 2011 represented an increase of restricted cash from the Porto Cupecoy escrow account as units are sold but are not delivered, and further cash deposited for credit support facilities.

Capital expenditure of $43.7 million during the first nine months of 2011 included $3.4 million at Hotel Cipriani, $6.1 million at El Encanto, $3.6 million at the two Sicilian properties, $1.7 million at La Residencia, $1.6 million at Hotel das Cataratas and $1.7 million on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express. In addition, OEH made payments of $2.1 million to the New York Public Library which was reimbursed as part of the $25.5 million received in April 2011 from the assignee of the Library’s contracts.  Capital expenditure of $43.4 million in the first nine months of 2010 included $4.1 million of Hotel Cipriani refurbishment, $7.7 million of Hotel das Cataratas capital costs, $8.4 million for Grand Hotel Timeo and Villa Sant’Andrea, $2.8 million of Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons refurbishment, and $2.0 million of Grand Hotel Europe refurbishment. In addition, $2.3 million was invested in European tourist train operations.

Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $73.0 million compared to cash provided by financing activities of $65.6 million for the nine month ended September 30, 2010, a decrease of $138.6 million. The main reason for the movement was the equity offering by OEH in the first nine months of 2010, generating cash inflows of $138.0 million.  Debt repaid during the first nine months of 2011 was $191.9 million compared with $60.6 million in the first nine months of 2010. Proceeds from issuance of long-term debt during the first nine months of 2011 were $120.0 million compared with $8.5 million in the first nine months of 2010.

Capital Commitments

There were $6.5 million of capital commitments outstanding at September 30, 2011 (December 31, 2010 - $43.7 million). Additionally, outstanding contracts for project-related costs on the Porto Cupecoy development amounted to $0.5 million at September 30, 2011 (December 31, 2010 - $5.5 million).

OEH had 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 expand and add a swimming pool to Villa Sant’Andrea.  In February 2011, OEH paid $2.1 million of the contingent liability as the appropriate permits to add a swimming pool to Villa Sant’Andrea have been granted.  OEH has provided $3.9 million for the expected remaining liability for this contingency.

Indebtedness

At September 30, 2011, OEH had $571.8 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 22 years with a weighted average interest rate of 4.32%.   See Note 10 to the Financial Statements regarding the maturity of long-term debt.

48

Debt of consolidated variable interest entities at September 30, 2011 comprised $91.0 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 interest entities, approximately 50% of the outstanding principal was drawn in European euros and the balance primarily in US dollars.  At September 30, 2011, 47% of borrowings of OEH were in floating interest rates.

Liquidity

During the three months ending December 31, 2011, OEH will have approximately $13.8 million of scheduled debt repayments including capital lease payments.

Additionally, OEH’s capital commitments at September 30, 2011 amounted to $6.5 million.  OEH expects to incur costs of a further $1.5 million to complete its Porto Cupecoy development, funded by sales proceeds as units are transferred to purchasers.

As previously reported, in November 2007, OEH entered into purchase and development agreements with the New York Public Library to acquire its Donnell branch site adjacent to ‘21’ Club and to build a mixed use hotel, library and residential development.  In March 2011, OEH assigned its agreements with the Library to a third-party developer and received gross proceeds of $25.5 million.  The assignee has assumed the remaining obligations of OEH under the Library agreements.  As part of this assignment, OEH entered into put and call option agreements with the assignee relating to future development rights of the ‘21’ Club and Donnell sites. See Note 7 to the Financial Statements.

A loan facility totaling $100.0 million ($88.0 million of which was drawn) was refinanced during the three months ended September 30, 2011 with a new loan of $115.0 million.  The new loan has two tranches, one of $100.0 million which was used to refinance the previous debt, and the second tranche of $15.0 million which will be used to repay the renovations planned for 2012 at the Copacabana Palace Hotel.  The loan matures in three years. Also during the third quarter of 2011, OEH signed a new $45 million loan facility providing partial funding for the completion of El Encanto, scheduled to reopen in late 2012. This loan has a term of three years with two one-year extensions.

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 2010, for example, OEH refinanced bank loans having total principal amounts outstanding of $374.4 million (at December 31, 2010 exchange rates) and publicly offered and sold in the US new class A common shares of the Company raising total net proceeds of $248.1 million.

OEH has 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 September 30, 2011, two unconsolidated joint venture companies were out of compliance with their loan facilities as follows (see Note 6 to the Financial Statements):

·the unconsolidated Peru hotels joint venture company, in which OEH has a 50% interest, was out of compliance at September 30, 2011 with debt service coverage financial covenants in a loan facility of the joint venture amounting to $20.7 million.  It is expected that the loan will be refinanced before December 31, 2011.  The loan is non-recourse to and not credit-supported by OEH while it remains a 50% owner of the joint venture; and

·Hotel Ritz, Madrid, 50% owned by OEH, was out of compliance with the debt service coverage ratio in its first mortgage loan facility amounting to $91.9 million.  Although the loan is otherwise non-recourse to and not credit-supported by OEH or its joint venture partner in the hotel, they have provided separate partial guarantees of $10.1 million each while discussions continue how to bring the hotel permanently into compliance.

49

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 September 30, 2011, OEH had adopted all the relevant standards that impacted the accounting for fair value measurements and disclosures, accounting and disclosure requirements for transfers of financial assets and for revenue recognition multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements, as reported in Note 1 to the Financial Statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance concerning the performance of the second step of goodwill impairment testing, namely measurement of the amount of an impairment loss. The ASU amends the criteria for performing the second step for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and requires performing the second step if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The adoption of the provisions of this ASU required for any impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2010 is not expected to have a material impact on OEH’s consolidated financial statements when the tests are performed.

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 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 will become effective in fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. OEH is still evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.

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 US GAAP with those required under IFRS.  Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in US GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  The amendments in this update may change the application of the requirements of fair value measurements.  This guidance will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company is still evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies

For a discussion of these, see under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies” in Item 7 — Management’s Discussion and Analysis in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K annual report.

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.

50

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 US 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 September 30, 2011.

OEH’s properties generally 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 US 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 US 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 US dollar.  At September 30, 2011, 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 US dollar would decrease OEH’s net earnings by approximately $2.4 million consisting of Russian ruble $1.0 million, Mexican peso $0.5 million and Thai baht $0.9 million.

ITEM 4.   Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of its chief executive and financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(e)) as of September 30, 2011 and, based on that evaluation, believes those disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of that date.  There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in SEC Rule 13a-15(f)) during the third quarter of 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

It should be noted that any system of controls, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the system are met such as prevention and detection of misstatement.  In addition, the design of any control system is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events.  Controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate, for example.  Because of these and other inherent limitations of control systems, there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.

16.          Share-based compensation plans

On March 1, 2011, OEH granted under the 2009 Share Award and Incentive Plan deferred shares without performance criteria covering 166,686 class A common shares of which 44,779 vested on June 30, 2011, 86,907 vest on March 1, 2012 and 35,000 vest on March 1, 2014. The stock price at the date of the award of deferred shares was $12.66 per share.

On May 31, 2011, OEH granted under the 2009 Share Award and Incentive Plan stock options on 421,600 class A common shares at an exercise price of $11.69 vesting on May 31, 2014. On the same day, it also granted under the 2009 Share Award and Incentive Plan deferred shares without performance criteria covering 13,600 class A common shares which vest on December 1, 2011, and deferred shares with performance criteria covering 147,915 class A common shares which vest on May 31, 2014. The stock price at the date of the award of deferred shares was $11.69 per share.

On June 13, 2011, OEH granted under the 2009 Share Award and Incentive Plan deferred shares without performance criteria covering 59,500 class A common shares which vest on June 13, 2014.  The stock price at the date of this award of deferred shares was $9.80.

No awards were issued in the three months ended September 30, 2011 or in the three months ended September 30, 2010.  The fair value of share-based compensation awards issued in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was $5,784,000 (2010 - $4,878,000).

The weighted-average fair value of the stock options and share-based awards granted under the 2009 plan on the grant date was $Nil and $6.20 per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively (2010 - $Nil and $5.46).

Estimated fair value of stock options on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model was based on the following assumptions:

Expected share price volatility	54.56		%
Risk-free interest rate	1.40		%
Expected annual dividends per share	$	—
Expected life of stock options	5 years

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

The total compensation related to unvested awards outstanding at September 30, 2011, to be recognized over the period October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2014, was $10,005,000. OEH recognized equity compensation expense of $1,184,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2011 (2010 - $1,627,000). OEH recognized equity compensation expense of $4,796,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (2010 - $4,561,000).

Previously awarded SARS have been recorded as other liabilities with a fair value of $94,000 at September 30, 2011 (December 31, 2010 - $354,000). See Note 11.

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

As reported in the Company’s 2010 Form 10-K annual report, OEH has three reporting segments, (i) hotels and restaurants, (ii) tourist trains and cruises, and (iii) real estate and property development.  Segment performance is evaluated based upon segment net earnings from continuing operations before interest, foreign currency, tax (including tax on earnings from unconsolidated companies), depreciation and amortization (“segment EBITDA”).  OEH’s chief operating decision maker is the chief executive officer, overseen by the Company’s board of directors. Financial information regarding these business segments is as follows, with net finance costs appearing net of capitalized interest and interest and related income:

Real estate impairment

5.             Real estate impairment

Real estate assets at September 30, 2011 and 2010 included condominiums and marina slips remaining to be sold at Porto Cupecoy on the Dutch side of St. Martin. OEH records impairment charges against the carrying value of real estate assets if the carrying value exceeds the fair value less costs to sell.  During the third quarter of 2011, OEH determined that the fair value less costs to sell of real estate assets was less than the carrying value, which resulted in the recognition of a non-cash impairment charge of $36,869,000 (2010 - $24,616,000) (computed using Level 3 inputs, namely the estimated selling prices and estimated selling costs based on OEH’s recent experience with sales of condominiums and marina slips already completed). This impairment charge resulted primarily from changes in the estimates of price and pace of future sales as a result of current market conditions. Additionally as part of an overall impairment calculation, property, plant and equipment at the Porto Cupecoy development with a carrying value of $1,677,000 were written down to a fair value of $Nil. See Note 7.

The total impairment charge of $38,546,000 relates to the real estate and property development segment, and is reported within impairment of real estate assets, goodwill and property, plant and equipment in the statement of condensed consolidated operations.

The determination of impairment incorporates various assumptions and uncertainties that OEH believes are reasonable and supportable considering all available evidence, such as the future cash flows, future sales prices and the related discount rate. However, these assumptions and uncertainties are, by their very nature, highly judgmental.  If the assumptions are not met, OEH may be required to recognize additional impairment losses.

20.          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. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for OEH making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional loan amount.

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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, these derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing variable interest rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, OEH had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives stated at their notional amounts in local currency that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

	September 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
	‘000			‘000
Interest Rate Derivatives
Interest Rate Swaps	A$		10,800	A$		11,100
Interest Rate Swaps	€	149,154		€	158,495
Interest Rate Swaps	$	120,740		$	154,728

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. These contracts are included in non-derivative hedging instruments.  The fair values of non-derivative hedging instruments were $48,301,000 at September 30, 2011 and $50,310,000 at December 31, 2010, both being liabilities of OEH.

Non-designated hedges of interest rate risk

Derivatives not designated as hedges are used to manage OEH’s exposure to interest rate movements but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements prescribed in the authoritative accounting guidance. At September 30, 2011, OEH had no interest rate swaps which did not meet hedge accounting requirements. At December 31, 2010, there was one interest rate swap with a notional amount of $8,327,000 that was not designated in a hedging relationship, which was cancelled in the three months ended September 30, 2011.  At September 30, 2011, OEH had interest rate options which were non-designated hedges with a notional amount of €43,875,000  ($58,868,000) and $55,160,000 (December 31, 2010 - €44,719,000 and $55,720,000).

The table below presents the fair value of OEH’s derivative financial instruments as well as their classification as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:

At September 30, 2011, the amount recorded in other comprehensive income which is expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months is $3,178,000.

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.

At September 30, 2011, 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 $11,093,000. If OEH breached any of these provisions, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $11,730,000.

Fair value measurements

OEH reviews its fair value hierarchy classifications quarterly.  Changes in significant observable valuation inputs identified during these reviews may trigger a reclassification of the fair value hierarchy levels of financial assets and liabilities.  These reclassifications are reported as transfers in Level 3 at their fair values at the beginning of the period in which the change occurs and the transfers out at their fair values at the end of the period.

The tables below present a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances of liabilities having fair value measurements based on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011:

Where credit value adjustments exceeded 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 valuation has been classified in the Level 3 category. The transfers out of Level 3 in 2011 represented new swaps as at December 31, 2010 with a fair value close to zero where the credit valuation adjustment was previously greater than 20% of the fair value.

The amount of total losses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 included in earnings that are attributable to the change in unrealized gains or losses relating to those liabilities still held was $Nil in all periods.

The following tables summarize the valuation of OEH’s financial liabilities by the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

The fair value of OEH’s derivative financial instruments is computed based on an income approach using appropriate valuation techniques including discounting future cash flows and other methods that are consistent with accepted economic methodologies for pricing financial instruments.

Outstanding contracts to purchase property, plant and equipment were approximately $6,520,000 at September 30, 2011 (December 31, 2010 - $43,658,000). Additionally, outstanding contracts for project-related costs at the Porto Cupecoy development were approximately $480,000 at September 30, 2011 (December 31, 2010 - $5,535,000).

OEH agreed to pay the vendor of Grand Hotel Timeo and Villa Sant’Andrea a further €5,000,000 (equivalent to $6,709,000 at September 30, 2011) 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.  In February 2011, €1,500,000 (equivalent to $2,062,000 at February 28, 2011) of this amount was paid to the vendor as the appropriate permits to add a swimming pool to Villa Sant’Andrea have been obtained.  See Note 4.

‘21’ Club is a defendant in a putative class action lawsuit brought by private banqueting service staff seeking to recover alleged retained gratuities and overtime wages pursuant to New York State and US federal wage and hour laws. In August 2011, the parties agreed in principle to settle the case by OEH paying plaintiffs $2,000,000, which has been accrued. In September, the court preliminarily approved the settlement and scheduled a final fairness hearing in January 2012. Funding of the settlement will occur promptly after court approval. Additionally, OEH has accrued $500,000 in legal and tax costs associated with the lawsuit and settlement.

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.

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 in March 2010 with the balance of $9,833,000 being payable in instalments over five years with interest.  The remaining payments totaling $8,183,000 at September 30, 2011 have not been recognized by OEH because of the uncertainty of collectability.

See Note 7 regarding assignment of the purchase and development agreements between OEH and the New York Public Library, including put and call options which are part of the contractual provisions under that assignment.

Long-term debt consists of the following:

	September 30, 2011	December 31, 2010
	$’000	$’000
Loans from banks and other parties collateralized by property, plant and equipment payable over periods of one to 22 years, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.30% and 4.61%, respectively	566,630	630,952

	505,095	511,336

Of the current portion of long-term debt, $Nil (December 31, 2010 - $28,000,000) related to revolving credit facilities which, although falling due within 12 months, are available for re-borrowing throughout the period of the loan facilities which are repayable in 2012.

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, a loan facility totaling $100,000,000 (of which $88,000,000 was drawn) was refinanced with a new loan of $115,000,000.  The new loan has two tranches, one of $100,000,000 which was used to repay the previous debt, and the second tranche of $15,000,000 which will be used to fund the renovations planned for 2012 at the Copacabana Palace Hotel.  The loan matures in three years and has an interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.15% per annum.  Approximately 70% of the loan has been swapped from LIBOR to a fixed rate of 0.81%.

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 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 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.

At September 30, 2011, two unconsolidated joint venture companies were out of compliance with certain financial covenants in their loan facilities. See Note 6.

The following is a summary of the aggregate maturities of consolidated long-term debt, including obligations under capital lease, at September 30, 2011:

The debt of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, of $90,974,000 (December 31, 2010 - $92,304,000) is non-recourse to OEH and separately disclosed on the balance sheet.  The debt was entered into in October 2010 and has a maturity of three years, with two one-year extensions. See Note 3.

Basis of financial statement presentation

Basis of financial statement presentation

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 US Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for reporting on Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by US generally accepted accounting principles (“US 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 statements.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.

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, 2010.  See Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements in the 2010 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 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 US 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 the changes made to ASC-codified items as described below.

In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to the accounting for fair value measurements and disclosures requiring a gross presentation of changes within Level 3 valuations period to period as a rollforward, and adds a new requirement to disclose transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 measurements. The new disclosures apply to all entities that report recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. This amendment is effective in the first interim reporting period beginning after December 15, 2009, with an exception for the gross presentation of Level 3 rollforward information, which is required for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim reporting periods within those years. The adoption of the provisions of this amendment required for periods beginning after December 15, 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures. See Note 20

Effective January 1, 2011, the Company has adopted guidance issued by the FASB in October 2009 that amends the accounting for revenue recognition on multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. Specifically, the guidance addresses the unit of accounting for arrangements involving multiple deliverables. It also addresses how arrangement consideration should be allocated to the separate units of accounting, when applicable. The adoption of the provisions of this amendment is required for fiscal years beginning on or after June 15, 2010 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2010, the FASB issued guidance concerning the performance of the second step of goodwill impairment testing, namely measurement of the amount of an impairment loss. The ASU amends the criteria for performing the second step for reporting units with zero or negative carrying amounts and requires performing the second step if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not that a goodwill impairment exists. The adoption of the provisions of this ASU required for any impairment tests performed in periods beginning after December 15, 2010 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements when the test is performed.

Recent accounting pronouncements

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 will become effective in fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company is still evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.

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 US GAAP with those required under International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).  Consequently, the amendments change the wording used to describe many of the requirements in US GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements.  The amendments in this update may change the application of the requirements of fair value measurements.  This guidance will become effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  The Company is still evaluating the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its financial statements.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, 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 was as follows:

	Three months ended		Nine months ended
	September 30, 2011	September 30, 2010	September 30, 2011	September 30, 2010

The depreciation charge on property, plant and equipment was $11,732,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 (2010 - $11,469,000).  The depreciation charge on property, plant and equipment was $34,613,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 (2010 - $33,819,000).

During the three months ended September 30, 2011, OEH identified a non-cash property, plant and equipment impairment charge of $23,934,000 in respect of Keswick Hall, Viriginia, USA.  The carrying value was written down to the hotel’s fair value.

Also during the three months ended September 30, 2011, OEH identified a non-cash property, plant and equipment impairment charge of $2,308,000 in respect of Casa de Sierra Nevada, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.  The carrying value was written down to the hotel’s fair value.

As part of the overall impairment charge at Porto Cupecoy during the three months ended September 30, 2011, OEH identified a non-cash property, plant and equipment impairment charge of $1,677,000 in respect of this property development. See Note 5

As of September 30, 2011, the property, plant and equipment of Charleston Center LLC, a consolidated VIE, of $186,969,000 (December 31, 2010 - $188,502,000) is separately disclosed on the balance sheet. See Note 3.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, OEH capitalized interest in the amount of $Nil. For the year ended December 31, 2010, capitalized interest amounted to $3,130,000. All amounts capitalized were recorded in property, plant and equipment.

New York hotel project

On March 18, 2011, OEH agreed to assign its purchase and development agreements previously made with the New York Public Library relating to the site of the Donnell branch of the Library adjacent to OEH’s ‘21’ Club restaurant to an affiliate (the “Assignee”) of Tribeca Associates, LLC and Starwood Capital Group Global LLC.  The Assignee agreed to assume all the terms and obligations of the contracts and to reimburse all previous deposit payments made by OEH and a $2,000,000 contribution toward fees incurred by OEH.  The transaction closed on April 7, 2011, resulting in gross proceeds received by OEH of $25,500,000. This transaction resulted in a gain, net of costs, of $502,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Based on terms under negotiation with interested parties in 2010, OEH recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $6,386,000 at December 31, 2010 on land and buildings for the capitalized pre-development expenses incurred in the period.

As part of this assignment, OEH entered into an option agreement which grants the Assignee a “call” option originally expiring July 19, 2011 to acquire 45,000 square feet of the approximately 52,000 square feet of excess development rights held by ‘21’ Club at a price to the Assignee of $13,500,000 and, alternatively, a “put” option expiring the same date to sell to OEH the excess development rights (approximately 65,000 square feet) of the Donnell branch site at a price to OEH of $16,000,000.  The option agreement expiration date has been extended several times, most recently to November 11, 2011.  The extensions include a further call option on approximately 4,800 additional square feet of development rights at a price to the Assignee of $2,850,000.  The closing date of the call options would be not later than December 31, 2011, and the closing date of the put option would be up to one year after its exercise and OEH may elect to defer payment to the Assignee up to 24 months after the closing date.  The parties anticipate that the Assignee will exercise its call options totaling $16,350,000 on the ‘21’ Club rights, but that purchase depends on negotiations with a third party not involving OEH.  If the call options are exercised, a portion of the proceeds would be used to repay in part the existing loan facility secured by ‘21’ Club, and any gain realized by OEH is expected to be taxable in the US.

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 nine months ended September 30,2011 include the following:

The changes in valuation allowances are due to changes in estimate concerning OEH’s ability to realize loss carryforwards in certain jurisdictions.

OEH recognized a tax benefit of $2,471,000 related to the release of certain prior year uncertain tax positions and related interest and penalties in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as a discrete item in the period.

8.             Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 are as follows:

	Hotels and restaurants		Trains and cruises		Total
	$’000		$’000		$’000
Balance as of January 1, 2011	169,610		7,888		177,498
Foreign currency translation adjustment	(1,173	)	(17	)	(1,190	)
Balance as at September 30, 2011	168,437		7,871		176,308

The gross goodwill amount at January 1, 2011 was $195,316,000 and the accumulated impairment at that date was $17,818,000. All impairments to that date related to hotel and restaurant operations.

OEH’s goodwill impairment testing is performed in two steps, first, the determination of impairment based upon the fair value of each reporting unit as compared with its carrying value and, second, if there is an implied impairment, the measurement of the amount of the impairment loss is determined by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying value of the goodwill.  If the carrying value of the reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, the goodwill is deemed to be impaired and is written down to the extent of the difference.

The determination of impairment incorporates various assumptions and uncertainties that OEH believes are reasonable and supportable considering all available evidence, such as the future cash flows of the business, future growth rates and the related discount rate. However, these assumptions and uncertainties are, by their very nature, highly judgmental.  If the assumptions are not met, OEH may be required to recognize additional goodwill impairment losses.

There were no triggering events in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 that would have required OEH to assess the carrying value of goodwill.

6.             Investments in unconsolidated companies

Investments represent equity interests of 50% or less in which OEH exerts significant influence but does not consolidate.  OEH 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 and Eastern and Oriental Express Ltd.

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

	September 30, 2011	December 31, 2010

Earnings from operations before net finance costs	9,501	6,673	18,131	16,029
Net earnings	4,244	3,123	5,749	5,872

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 any additional equity capital 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, exercisable in limited circumstances such as its bankruptcy.

The Company has guaranteed, through 2016, $9,405,000 of the debt obligations of the rail joint venture in Peru and, contingently guaranteed through 2016, $12,350,000 of its debt obligations. 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 $4,932,000 through April 2012.  The Company has contingently guaranteed, through 2016, $12,330,000 of debt obligations of the joint venture in Peru that operates four hotels and, through 2014, a further $8,370,000 of its debt obligations.  The contingent guarantees 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 Peru hotel joint venture at September 30, 2011 totaling $20,700,000 have been classified within current liabilities of the joint venture in its stand-alone financial statements, as it was out of compliance with the debt service coverage ratio covenants in its loan facilities. It is expected that these loans will be refinanced before December 31, 2011.

Long-term debt obligations of the Hotel Ritz, Madrid, in which OEH has a 50% equity investment, at September 30, 2011 totaling $91,909,000 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 in its first mortgage loan facility. Discussions with the lender to bring the hotel into compliance are continuing.  OEH and its joint venture partner have each guaranteed $10,063,000 of the debt obligations and $146,000 of a working capital loan facility of Hotel Ritz, Madrid..

The Company has also guaranteed, through 2011, a $3,000,000 working capital facility to Eastern and Oriental Express Ltd. in which OEH has a 25% equity investment.

2.         Discontinued operations

At January 1, 2010, Bora Bora Lagoon Resort, Lilianfels Blue Mountains hotel and La Cabana restaurant had been classified as held for sale. During the year ended December 31, 2010, OEH sold La Cabana and Lilianfels Blue Mountains, and classified Hôtel de la Cité and the Internet-based companies O.E. Interactive Ltd. and Luxurytravel.com UK Ltd. as held for sale. During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Hôtel de la Cité was sold and the Internet-based companies were transferred back to continuing operations, leaving Bora Bora Lagoon Resort as the only property held for sale and included within discontinued operations as at September 30, 2011.

(a)          Hôtel de la Cité

On August 1, 2011, OEH completed the sale of the property and operations of Hôtel de la Cité in Carcassonne, France for a cash consideration of €9,000,000 ($12,933,000). The hotel was a part of OEH’s hotels and restaurants segment. The disposal resulted in a gain of $2,182,000 (including a $3,018,000 transfer of foreign currency translation gain from other comprehensive income), which is reported within earnings from discontinued operations, net of tax.

The following is a summary of the net assets sold and gain on sale:

	August 1, 2011
	$’000
Property, plant and equipment, net	13,147
Net working capital surplus	266

Earnings/(loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax	1,580		(3,721	)	1,084		(4,344	)

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, OEH identified and recorded a non-cash property, plant and equipment impairment charge of $5,989,000 in respect of Hôtel de la Cité. The carrying values of the assets were written down to the fair value to reflect the level of offers being received at that time for the purchase of the hotel.

(b)         Assets held for sale: Bora Bora Lagoon Resort

As previously reported, OEH is selling its investment in Bora Bora Lagoon Resort, which is included in the hotels and restaurants segment. The property sustained damage as a result of a cyclone in February 2010 and is currently closed.  The property continues to be actively marketed and is saleable in its current condition as land for future development. OEH engaged additional selling agents who are appropriately incentivized to sell the property within one year, which OEH expects to achieve, and is currently in discussions with interested parties.

Bora Bora Lagoon Resort has been classified as held for sale and its results have been presented as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Summarized operating results of the hotel held for sale at September 30, 2011 and the hotels and restaurants held for sale at September 30, 2010 are as follows:

	Three months ended			Nine months ended
	September 30, 2011		September 30, 2010	September 30, 2011		September 30, 2010

In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, OEH identified and recorded a non-cash property, plant and equipment impairment charge of $2,150,000 in respect of Bora Bora Lagoon Resort. The carrying values of the assets were written down to the fair value to reflect the level of offers received for the purchase of the hotel. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the assets of Bora Bora Lagoon Resort were increased to their fair value, resulting in a gain of $1,550,000 from foreign currency fluctuations, which were included in earnings/(losses) from discontinued operations for the period.

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, a gain on sale of $562,000 was recorded on the disposal of Lilianfels Blue Mountains. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, a gain of $7,183,000 (including a $7,292,000 transfer of foreign currency translation gain from other comprehensive income) was recorded on the disposal of Lilianfels Blue Mountains and a loss of $427,000 was recorded on the disposal of La Cabana. These gains and the loss are reported within earnings/(losses) from discontinued operations, net of tax.

Assets and liabilities classified as held for sale at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
	$’000		$’000
Current assets	1,086		4,499
Other assets	—		9
Property, plant and equipment, net of depreciation	16,981		28,336
Total assets held for sale	18,067		32,844
Liabilities held for sale	(1,808	)	(2,792	)

Assets and liabilities of Bora Bora Lagoon Resort are subject to foreign currency movements which result in corresponding and offsetting amounts within the currency translation adjustments account.

The current assets balance at September 30, 2011 includes residual assets of Hôtel de la Cité, which was sold in August 2011. Prior year comparatives include balances of Hôtel de la Cité and residual current assets of Windsor Court hotel, which was sold in October 2009.

(c)          Internet-based companies: O.E. Interactive Ltd. and Luxurytravel.com UK Ltd.

In December 2010, OEH decided to sell its Internet-based companies O.E. Interactive Ltd. and Luxurytravel.com UK Ltd. which are included in the trains and cruises segment.  These companies became held for sale based on a purchase offer from a third party.  However, the sale agreement has not been completed, and a lease transaction (with a purchase option) has been entered into instead. Therefore, these companies were transferred back to continuing operations as they no longer meet the criteria for held for sale treatment.  Results previously classified within discontinued operations have been transferred back into continuing operations for all periods presented.

Variable interest entities

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 or losses 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 sheet as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 are summarized as follows:

	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010
	$’000		$’000
Current assets	9,380		5,897
Property, plant and equipment	186,969		188,502
Goodwill	40,395		40,395
Other assets	2,456		2,823
Total assets	239,200		237,617
Current liabilities	(21,612	)	(17,827	)
Third-party debt, including $1,766 and $1,775 current portion	(90,974	)	(92,304	)
Deferred income taxes	(61,835	)	(61,835	)
Total liabilities	(174,421	)	(171,966	)
Net assets (before amounts payable to OEH of $93,196 and $94,141)	64,779		65,651

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.

21.       Adjustments to prior period amounts

Subsequent to the issuance of OEH’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, management determined that OEH’s non-current deferred income tax liabilities were understated by $5,972,000 due to a misstatement in computing the temporary difference between the tax and book value of its property, plant and equipment, resulting in a restatement of the following consolidated balance sheet accounts:

	December 31, 2010
	As previously reported	As restated	Adjustment
	$’000	$’000	$’000
Deferred income tax liabilities	100,730	106,702	5,972
Retained earnings	140,015	134,043	(5,972	)

This prior period adjustment does not affect OEH’s net losses or losses per share for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The effect of correcting this misstatement has decreased retained earnings at January 1, 2010 and 2011 by $5,972,000, and has increased non-current deferred income tax liabilities by a corresponding amount at each date.  The restatement does not affect OEH’s net earnings/(losses) or cash flows in the three or nine months ended September 30, 2010 and the year ended to December 31, 2010.

4.             Acquisitions

No new acquisitions occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

(a)          Grand Hotel Timeo and Villa Sant’Andrea

On January 22, 2010, OEH acquired 100% of the share capital of two hotels in Taormina, Sicily (Italy) — the Grand Hotel Timeo and the Villa Sant’Andrea — at a purchase price of €41,874,000 ($59,162,000) comprised of agreed consideration of €81,512,000 ($115,165,000) less existing indebtedness assumed and including estimated contingent consideration.  OEH purchased the two hotels to enhance both its presence in the Italian hotel market and its portfolio of leading luxury hotels globally.  No intangible assets were identified and the goodwill arising from the acquisition consists largely of profit growth opportunities these hotels are expected to generate. All of the goodwill was assigned to OEH’s hotels and restaurants segment. None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

OEH performed a preliminary fair value exercise to allocate the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities as at January 22, 2010, which was finalized in the quarter ended December 31, 2010. This resulted in a $468,000 increase in goodwill from settlement of outstanding tax positions and working capital items with the vendor of the properties.

The following table summarizes the consideration paid for the hotels and the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, converted to US dollars at the exchange rate effective at the date of acquisition:

	Fair value on January 22, 2010
	$’000
Consideration:
Total agreed consideration	115,165
Less: Existing debt assumed	(61,654	)
Plus:  Contingent additional consideration	5,651
Purchase price	59,162
Assets acquired and liabilities assumed:
Cash and cash equivalents	45
Property, plant and equipment	101,173
Inventories	215
Prepaid expenses and other	406
Other assets	1,434
Accrued liabilities	(8,968	)
Deferred income taxes	(10,541	)
Other liabilities	(304	)
Long-term debt	(61,654	)
Goodwill	37,356
Net assets acquired	59,162

Acquisition-related costs which are included within selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2010 were $684,000. The purchase price of €41,874,000 ($59,162,000), net of contingent consideration of €4,000,000 ($5,651,000) described below, was €37,874,000 ($53,511,000) which was funded by cash payments and new indebtedness totaling €32,843,000 ($46,402,000), vendor financing of €5,000,000 ($7,064,000) and cash acquired of €31,000 ($45,000).

The acquisition of the two hotels has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting for business combinations.  The results of operation of the hotels have been included in the consolidated financial results since the date of acquisition.

OEH has agreed to pay the vendor up to a further €5,000,000 (equivalent to $7,064,000 at January 22, 2010) 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.  The fair value of the contingent additional consideration at January 22, 2010 was €4,000,000 ($5,651,000) (determined using an income approach) based on an analysis of the likelihood of the conditions for payment being met.  In February 2011, OEH paid the vendor €1,500,000 (equivalent to $2,062,000 at February 28, 2011) of the contingent liability as the appropriate permits to add a swimming pool to Villa Sant’Andrea had been granted.

The following table presents information for Grand Hotel Timeo and Villa Sant’Andrea included in OEH’s consolidated statements of operations from the acquisition date (January 22, 2010) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010:

	Three months ended September 30, 2010		Nine months ended September 30, 2010
	$’000		$’000
Revenues	6,640		8,886
Loss from continuing operations	(81	)	(2,623	)

As the acquisition of the Grand Hotel Timeo and Villa Sant’Andrea occurred on January 22, 2010, the pro forma results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, assuming acquisition of these hotels had taken place at the beginning of 2010, would not differ significantly from actual reported results.

(b)          Land at La Samanna

In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, OEH purchased land adjacent to its hotel at La Samanna in St. Martin from a third party. The consideration paid to the seller was a combination of cash and three condominium units and two boat slips at OEH’s Porto Cupecoy development.  Presented below is a summary of the transaction.

Fair values of financial instruments and non-financial assets

17.       Fair values of financial instruments and non-financial assets

Certain methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, working capital facilities, 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.

The estimated fair values of OEH’s financial instruments (other than derivative financial instruments) as of September 30, 2011 are as follows:
