Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying condensed consolidating financial information has been prepared and presented pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Regulation S-X, Rule 3-10, “Financial Statements of Guarantors and Affiliates Whose Securities Collateralize an Issue Registered or Being Registered”. Each of the subsidiary guarantors is 100% owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company. The guarantees are subject to certain automatic release provisions. Relief from the financial statement requirements under Rule 3-10 is being provided because the Company's guarantee release provisions are considered customary pursuant to Section 2510.5 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance Financial Reporting Manual. Such release provisions are as follows:

the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets or all of the capital stock of any subsidiary guarantor; and
the satisfaction of the requirements for legal defeasance or the satisfaction and discharge of the indenture.

The Company's investments in its consolidated subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting.
The Company has outstanding $415,000 principal amount of its 11% Senior Secured Notes due 2015 that are guaranteed subject to certain customary automatic release provisions described above on a joint and several basis by all of the 100% owned domestic subsidiaries of the Company that are engaged in the conduct of its cigarette businesses. (See Note 7.) The notes are not guaranteed by any of the Company’s subsidiaries engaged in the real estate businesses conducted through its subsidiary New Valley LLC. Presented herein are Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2011 and 2010 and the related Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations and Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2010 and 2009 of Vector Group Ltd. (Parent/Issuer), the guarantor subsidiaries (Subsidiary Guarantors) and the subsidiaries that are not guarantors (Subsidiary Non-Guarantors). The Company does not believe that the separate financial statements and related footnote disclosures concerning the Guarantors would provide any additional information that would be material to investors making an investment decision.
The indenture contains covenants that restrict the payment of dividends by the Company if the Company’s consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Consolidated EBITDA”), as defined in the indenture, for the most recently ended four full quarters is less than $50,000. The indenture also restricts the incurrence of debt if the Company’s Leverage Ratio and its Secured Leverage Ratio, as defined in the indenture, exceed 3.0 and 1.5, respectively. The Company’s Leverage Ratio is defined in the indenture as the ratio of the Company’s and the guaranteeing subsidiaries’ total debt less the fair market value of the Company’s cash, investments in marketable securities and long-term investments to Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the indenture. The Company’s Secured Leverage Ratio is defined in the indenture in the same manner as the Leverage Ratio, except that secured indebtedness is substituted for indebtedness.
Certain revisions have been made to the Company's Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010 to conform to the 2011 presentation. The revisions decreased parent "Investment in consolidated subsidiaries" by $74,669, "Investment securities available for sale" by $29,753, "Other current assets" by $923, the asset “Deferred income taxes” by $4,206, the current liability, "Deferred income taxes," by $6,305, and the liability "Deferred income taxes" by $103,246. The revisions increased subsidiary guarantors' "Investment securities available for sale" by $29,753, "Other current assets" by $923 and the current liability, "Deferred Income taxes," by $6,305. The revisions decrease subsidiary guarantors' asset "Deferred income taxes" by $99,040 and "Stockholders' equity (deficiency)" by $74,669. The consolidating adjustments of $103,246 for each of the asset "Deferred income taxes" and the liability "Deferred income taxes" have been eliminated.
Certain revisions have been made to the Company's Condensed Consolidating Statement of Operations for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 to conform to the 2011 presentation. For the period ended December 31, 2010, the revisions increased parent “Income tax (expense) benefit” by $3,703 and decreased parent "Equity income in consolidated subsidiaries” by $11,982 and “Gain on investment securities available for sale” by $9,257. The revisions increased subsidiary guarantors' "Gain on investment securities available for sale” by $9,257 and decreased subsidiary guarantors' "Income tax (expense) benefit" by $21,239. The consolidating adjustment for “Income tax (expense) benefit” of $17,536 has been eliminated. For the period ended December 31, 2009, the revisions increased parent “Income tax (expense) benefit” by $91,265 and decreased parent "Equity income in consolidated subsidiaries” by $91,265. The revisions decreased subsidiary guarantors' “Income tax (expense) benefit” by $91,265.
Certain revisions have been made to the Company's Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 to conform to the 2011 presentation. The revisions increased parent “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” by $13,157 and "Purchase of investment securities" by $1,980 and decreased parent “Sale or maturity of investment securities” by $13,154 and "Investment in subsidiaries" by $1,983. The revisions increased subsidiary guarantors' "Sale or maturity of investment securities" by $13,154 and "Capital contributions received" by $1,983 and decreased subsidiary guarantors' “Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities” by $923 and "Purchase of investment securities" by $1,980 and “Intercompany dividends paid” by $1,980 and "Intercompany dividends paid" by $12,234. No changes were made to the Company's Condensed Consolidating Statement of Cash Flows for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009.
The Company's consolidated financial information as of and for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 has not changed. The Company does not believe these revisions are material to the consolidating financial information as of December 31, 2010 or any prior periods' consolidating financial information.
