UAL Corporation and Subsidiary Companies and
 United Air Lines, Inc. and Subsidiary Companies
Combined Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 
(1)
Basis of Presentation
 
UAL Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “UAL”), is a holding company and its principal, wholly-owned subsidiary is United Air Lines, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “United”). We sometimes use the words “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” in this Form 10-Q for disclosures that relate to both UAL and United.
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a combined report of UAL and United. Therefore, these Combined Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) apply to both UAL and United, unless otherwise noted. As UAL consolidates United, disclosures that relate to activities of United also apply to UAL.
 
Interim Financial Statements.The UAL and United unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements shown here have been prepared as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that meet generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC. UAL and United believe that the disclosures presented here are not misleading. The financial statements include all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments and adjustments required by fresh-start reporting and reorganization items as described below, that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations of UAL and United. These financial statements should be read together with the information included in UAL’s and United’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 (the “2006 Annual Reports”).
 
Mileage Plus Accounting.The following is an update to the accounting policy disclosures in the 2006 Annual Reports. For further information related to Mileage Plus accounting, refer to the 2006 Annual Reports and Critical Accounting Policies in this Form 10-Q.
 
United recognizes revenue for customer accounts that are cancelled after a period of inactivity as defined by the Mileage Plus program. United estimates the number of accounts that it expects to deactivate and ratably recognizes revenue for these accounts over the expiration period. In early 2007, United announced a reduction in the expiration period from 36 months to 18 months. Based on this program change, United reduced the period over which it recognizes revenue for deactivated accounts from 36 months to 18 months. This change provided a benefit to United’s operating revenues of approximately $47 million and $75 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and United estimates that it will provide a total benefit of approximately $181 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The diluted per share benefit to UAL was approximately $0.31 and $0.49 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively.
 
Reclassifications.In the first quarter of 2007, United and UAL changed their classification of certain distribution-related costs, previously included in purchased services and commissions, to classify these costs as distribution expenses in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations (Unaudited). The distribution expenses previously reported for 2006 were reclassified to provide a comparable presentation in each of the 2007 quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. Amounts previously reported as commissions and purchased services in the UAL and United 2006 quarterly reports on Form 10-Q are shown below:
