UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet combines the historical consolidated balance sheets of UAL and Continental, giving effect to the merger as if it had been consummated on June 30, 2010. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and for the year ended December 31, 2009 combine the historical consolidated statements of operations of UAL and Continental, giving effect to the merger as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2009, the beginning of the earliest period presented. The historical consolidated financial statements of Continental have been adjusted to reflect certain reclassifications in order to conform with UAL’s financial statement presentation.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with UAL considered the acquirer of Continental. Accordingly, consideration given by UAL to complete the merger with Continental will be allocated to assets and liabilities of Continental based upon their estimated fair values as of the date of completion of the merger. As of the date of this current report on Form 8-K, UAL has not completed the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the required estimates of the fair value of the Continental assets acquired and the liabilities assumed and the related allocations of purchase price, nor has it identified all adjustments necessary to conform Continental’s accounting policies to UAL’s accounting policies. A final determination of the fair value of Continental’s assets and liabilities will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Continental that exist as of the date of completion of the merger and, therefore, could not have been made prior to the completion of the transaction. Accordingly, the pro forma purchase price adjustments are preliminary and are subject to further adjustments as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. The preliminary pro forma purchase price adjustments have been made solely for the purpose of providing the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements presented below. UAL estimated the fair value of Continental’s assets and liabilities based on discussions with Continental’s management, preliminary valuation studies, due diligence and information presented in public filings. Both companies were limited in their ability to share information prior to the completion of the merger. Final valuations will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2010. Increases or decreases in the fair value of relevant balance sheet amounts will result in adjustments to the balance sheet and/or statements of operations. There can be no assurance that such finalization will not result in material changes.

These Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with (1) the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of UAL and Continental contained in their respective Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2010 and (2) the audited consolidated financial statements of UAL and Continental contained in their respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of UAL would have been had the merger occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

UAL expects to incur significant costs associated with integrating the operations of UAL and Continental. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future cost savings from operating efficiencies or revenue synergies expected to result from the merger. In addition, the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements do not include one-time costs directly attributable to the transaction, employee retention costs or professional fees incurred by Continental or UAL pursuant to provisions contained in the merger agreement, as those costs are not considered part of the purchase price.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

On May 2, 2010, UAL and Continental entered into the merger agreement whereby Continental would become a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL. The merger closed on October 1, 2010. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each outstanding share of Continental common stock was exchanged for 1.05 shares of UAL common stock. In addition, Continental stock options were converted into stock options and equity awards with respect to UAL common stock, after giving effect to the exchange ratio.

The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (revised 2009), “Business Combinations,” using the acquisition method of accounting with UAL considered the acquirer of Continental.

The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements present the pro forma consolidated financial position and results of operations of the combined company based upon the historical financial statements of UAL and Continental, after giving effect to the merger and adjustments described in these notes, and are intended to reflect the impact of the merger on UAL’s consolidated financial statements. The accompanying Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are presented for illustrative purposes only and do not reflect the costs of any integration activities or benefits that may result from realization of future cost savings due to operating efficiencies or revenue synergies expected to result from the merger.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet gives effect to the merger as if it had been consummated on June 30, 2010 and includes estimated pro forma adjustments for the preliminary valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These adjustments are subject to further revision as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations give effect to the merger as if it had been consummated on January 1, 2009, the beginning of the earliest period presented.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet has been adjusted to reflect the preliminary allocation of the purchase price to identifiable net assets acquired and the excess purchase price to goodwill. The purchase price allocation in these Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements is based upon a purchase price of approximately $3.6 billion. This amount was derived as described below in accordance with the merger agreement, based on the outstanding shares of Continental common stock at September 30, 2010, the exchange ratio of 1.05 shares of UAL common stock for each Continental share and a price per UAL common share of $23.66, which represents the closing price of UAL shares of common stock on September 30, 2010. The purchase price also includes the estimated fair value of stock options issued upon the closing of the merger in exchange for similar securities of Continental. Continental stock options outstanding at June 30, 2010, substantially all of which became fully vested as of the date of the merger, were assumed by UAL and modified to provide for the purchase of UAL common stock. Accordingly, the number of shares and the price per share were adjusted for the 1.05 exchange ratio. Vested stock options held by employees of Continental are considered part of the purchase price. Accordingly, the purchase price includes an estimated fair value of stock options issued by UAL of approximately $98 million.

Upon completion of the fair value assessment, it is anticipated that the ultimate purchase price allocation will differ from the preliminary assessment outlined above. Any changes to the initial estimates of the fair value of the assets and liabilities will be recorded as adjustments to those assets and liabilities and residual amounts will be allocated to goodwill.

Note 2. Pro Forma Adjustments

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations do not include any material non-recurring charges that will arise in subsequent periods as a result of the merger. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements reflect the following adjustments:

 

  (a) Cash Held in Escrow. The reclassification of a $13 million Continental deposit held in escrow for the purchase of slots from UAL from other noncurrent assets to cash and cash equivalents.

 

  (b) Intercompany Balances. The elimination of $40 million of receivables and payables between UAL and Continental associated with sales to customers on behalf of the other airline and Mileage Plus/OnePass frequent flyer miles and awards earned or redeemed on the other airline.
