GOLDEN STAR RESOURCES LTD.
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All amounts in tables are in thousands of US dollars unless noted otherwise)
(Unaudited)

These consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10–K for the year ended December 31, 2005, on file with Securities and Exchange Commission and with the Canadian securities commissions. Financial information is presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada.

In early 2006, it was determined that hedge accounting had been improperly applied by our subsidiary, EURO Ressources S.A. (“EURO”) for their cash–settled forward gold price agreements during the first three quarters of 2005. As a result, our Form 10–Qs for the first three quarters of 2005 were amended to apply derivative accounting rather than hedge accounting to EURO’s derivatives. In this Form 10–Q, comparative amounts from the second quarter and for the first six months of 2005 reflect this restatement.

In management’s opinion, the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 contained herein reflect all adjustments, consisting solely of normal recurring items, which are necessary for the fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows on a basis consistent with that of our prior audited consolidated financial statements.

In certain cases prior period amounts have been revised to reflect current period presentation.

1. Description of Business

Through our subsidiaries we own a controlling interest in four significant gold properties in southern Ghana in West Africa: the Bogoso/Prestea property, which is comprised of the adjoining Bogoso and Prestea surface mining leases (“Bogoso/Prestea”), the Prestea Underground property (“Prestea Underground”), the Wassa property (“Wassa”), and the Hwini–Butre and Benso concessions (“St. Jude Properties”). In addition to these gold properties we hold various other exploration rights and interests and are actively exploring in a variety of locations in West Africa and South America.

Bogoso/Prestea is owned by our 90% owned subsidiary Bogoso Gold Limited (“BGL”) which was acquired in 1999. Bogoso/Prestea produced and sold approximately 132,000 ounces of gold during 2005.

Through another 90% owned subsidiary, Wexford Goldfields Limited (“WGL”), we own the Wassa gold mine located some 35 kilometers east of Bogoso/Prestea. Construction and commissioning of Wassa’s new processing plant and open pit mine was completed at the end of March 2005 and the project was placed in service on April 1, 2005. Wassa produced and sold approximately 69,000 ounces of gold in 2005 following its April 2005 in service date.

The Prestea Underground is located on the Prestea property and consists of a currently inactive underground gold mine and associated support facilities. BGL owns a 90% operating interest in the Prestea Underground. We are currently conducting exploration and engineering studies to determine if the underground mine can be reactivated on a profitable basis.

Through our 100% owned subsidiary, St. Jude Resources Ltd. (“St. Jude”), we own the St. Jude Properties in southwest Ghana. The St. Jude Properties consist of the Hwini–Butre and Benso concessions which together cover an area of 201 square kilometers. Both concessions contain undeveloped zones of gold mineralization. The Hwini–Butre and Benso concessions are located

approximately 80 and 40 kilometers south of Wassa, respectively. The mineralized zones have been delineated through the efforts of St. Jude that conducted extensive exploration work from the mid–1990s to 2005.

We hold interests in several gold exploration projects in Ghana and elsewhere in West Africa including Sierra Leone, Burkina Faso, Niger and Cote d’Ivoire. We also hold and manage exploration properties in Suriname and French Guiana in South America. We hold indirect interests in gold exploration properties in Peru and Chile through a 16% shareholding investment in Goldmin Consolidated Holdings. We also own a 43% interest in EURO Ressources S.A. (“EURO”), a French publicly–traded royalty holding company which owns a royalty interest based on gold production at Cambior Inc.’s Rosebel gold mine in Suriname.

Our corporate headquarters are located in Littleton, Colorado, USA. Our accounting records are kept in compliance with Canadian GAAP. All of our operations, except for certain exploration projects keep financial records in US dollars.

2. Short term investments

Short term investments are comprised of funds invested in AAA rated auction rate certificates. The certificates are short term positions in long term securities. The interest rate received is reset every 7, 28 or 35 days, and the certificates can be liquidated for cash at each interest rate reset date.

4. Deposits

Represents cash advances and payments for equipment and materials purchases at WGL and BGL which are not yet on-site.

5. Long Term Investments

We hold a 16% interest in Goldmin Consolidated Holdings, a privately held gold exploration company which operates in South America. In the year ended December 31, 2005 we accounted for our investment as an equity investment but by March 31, 2006 our investment was diluted to less than 20%, and we now account for the investment on the cost basis at $1.2 million.

As of December 31, 2005 we held approximately 11% of the outstanding common shares of Moto Goldmines Limited (“Moto”), a gold exploration and development company publicly traded in Canada, with a focus on gold exploration and development in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In March 2006 we exercised our remaining one million warrants increasing our total ownership to six million common shares, and immediately afterward sold all six million common shares in a bought–deal transaction in Canada for Cdn$7.50 per share. The sale of the six million shares resulted in net proceeds to Golden Star of $39.0 million (Cdn$45.0 million) yielding a pre–tax capital gain of $30.3 million.

6. Investment in EURO

EURO’s most significant asset is its royalty from the Rosebel mine in Suriname, owned and operated by Cambior Inc. Additionally, EURO holds certain gold exploration and development mineral rights in French Guiana, which are the subject of joint venture arrangements. At March 31, 2006 we owned 53% of EURO’s outstanding common shares and as such consolidated EURO’s financial results with our own.

During the second quarter of 2006 we sold 362,029 of our EURO shares in open market transactions realizing approximately $0.7 million of cash. On June 19, 2006 we sold an additional four million EURO shares in a private transaction receiving $2.5 million of cash. The purchasers of the four million shares have agreed to pay additional consideration to Golden Star if they sell the shares at a gain.

The combined share sales during the second quarter diluted our holding in EURO‘s common shares to approximately 43%. In response to a reduced ownership position, the equity method of accounting was adopted on June 20 for our remaining interest in EURO. Under the equity accounting method, our consolidated financial statements no longer include EURO’s assets and liabilities which at March 31, 2006 included $3.2 million of net current assets, $5.6 million of tax assets, $7.0 million of bank loans and $14.9 million of derivative liabilities. The net effect of the change in accounting method resulted in recognition of $17.7 million of non-cash gains. The total gain from the change in our EURO ownership position, includes $3.2 million cash received from sale of shares and $17.7 million from the change in accounting method, is $20.9 million.

Under the equity method accounting rules, Golden Star will recognize a share of EURO’s future earnings/losses in proportion to Golden Star’s ownership position at the end of each period (currently 43%). Golden Star has a zero carrying value for its investment in EURO, and future gains and losses will not be recognized until such time as EURO’s future income offsets accumulated deficits. The value of our remaining 21.4 million EURO common shares was $31.4 million based on EURO’s closing share price June 30, 2006.

7. Deferred Exploration and Development Costs

10. Mine Construction–in–Progress

At June 30, 2006 and at December 31, 2005, mine construction–in–progress represents costs incurred for the Bogoso Sulfide Expansion Project since the beginning of 2005. Included in the total are costs of development drilling, plant equipment purchases, materials and construction costs, payments to the construction contractors, mining equipment costs, capitalized interest and pre-production stripping costs.

11. Deferred Stripping

The amount of stripping costs to be capitalized in each period is calculated by determining the tonnes of waste moved in excess of the life–of–pit average strip ratio and valuing the excess tonnage of removed waste at the average mining cost per tonne during the period. Costs are recovered in periods when the actual tonnes of waste moved are less than the average life–of–pit rate, such tonnes being valued at the rolling average cost of the waste tonnage amounts capitalized.

The capitalized component of waste rock removal costs is shown on our consolidated balance sheets in the line item titled “Deferred Stripping.” The cost impact is included in the Statements of Operations in the line item titled “Mining operations.”

During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, $0.5 million of deferred stripping costs were recovered and we expect that all remaining deferred stripping cost will be recovered by the end of the third quarter of 2006.

12. Debt

		As of				As of
		June 30, 2006				December 31, 2005
Current debt:
Bank loan – EURO Ressources (Note a)		$	—			$	2,667
Equipment financing loans (Note b)			4,666				4,188
Total current debt		$	4,666			$	6,855
Long term debt:
Bank loan – EURO Ressources (Note a)		$	—			$	5,000
Equipment financing loans (Note b)			14,252				11,632
Convertible notes (Note c)			48,018				47,666
Total long term debt		$	62,270			$	64,298

(a)		Bank debt – As a result of the sale of the EURO shares in June 2006 (see Note 6) Golden Star no longer consolidates the financial statements of EURO as of June 30, 2006. Therefore the EURO bank loan is not included within consolidated debt as of June 30, 2006.
(b)		Equipment financing credit facility – We have established an equipment financing facility between Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation, BGL and WGL, with Golden Star as the guarantor of all amounts borrowed. The facility provides credit for a mixture of new and used mining equipment. This facility is reviewed annually. Amounts drawn under this facility are repayable over five years for new equipment and over two years for used equipment. The interest rate for each draw–down is fixed at the date of the draw–down using the Federal Reserve Bank 2–year or 5–year swap rate or LIBOR plus 2.38%. As of June 30, 2006, $18.9 million was outstanding under this facility. The average interest rate on the outstanding loans is approximately 6.7%. We estimate the fair value of the equipment financing facility to be approximately $16.2 million at June 30, 2006.
(c)		Convertible notes – We sold $50 million of senior unsecured convertible notes to a private investment fund on April 15, 2005. These notes, maturing on April 15, 2009, were issued at par and bear interest at 6.85% with a conversion price of $4.50 per common share. At the maturity date, we have the option, to repay the outstanding notes with i.) cash, ii.) by issuing common shares to the note holders or iii.) a combination of cash and common shares. For any notes repaid in common shares the number of shares will be determined by dividing the loan balance by an amount equal to 95% of the average price of the 20 trading day period ended five days before the notes are due. Due to the beneficial conversion feature, approximately $47.1 million of the note balance was initially classified as a liability and $2.9 million was classified as equity. Periodic accretion will increase the liability to the full $50 million amount due (after adjustments, if any, for converted notes) by the end of the note term. The periodic accretion is included in interest expense. A total of $4.0 million of interest on the convertible notes was capitalized as Bogoso sulfide expansion project costs. We estimate the fair value of the convertible notes to be essentially equal to their carrying value at June 30, 2006.

13. Derivatives

EURO – In January 2005, EURO, then a majority owned subsidiary, entered into a series of derivative contracts in conjunction with a $6.0 million loan agreement. EURO’s derivatives are tied to a future stream of gold royalty payments EURO expects to receive from Cambior Inc., which purchased a mining property interest from Golden Star in 2002. Golden Star originally owned the royalty but sold the

royalty to EURO in 2004. In September 2005, EURO entered into a second set of derivative contracts related to a further $3.0 million debt facility.

During 2005, we recorded a realized derivative loss of $0.5 million for cash settlement of the first four quarterly tranches and we recorded $9.6 million of unrealized, non–cash mark–to–market losses as of December 31, 2005. At June 30, 2006 we recorded $0.8 million payments to EURO’s counterparties for expiring positions and an additional $4.1 million mark–to–market loss for the period ended June 19, 2006.

As a result of the sale of the EURO shares in June 2006, (see Note 6) Golden Star is not required to consolidate the financial statements of EURO as of June 30, 2006. Therefore the EURO derivative contract liability is no longer included in our consolidated derivatives as of June 30, 2006.

Gold Derivatives – To provide gold price protection during the 2005/2006 construction phase of the Bogoso Sulfide Expansion Project, we purchased a series of gold puts. The first purchase occurred in the second quarter of 2005 when we purchased put options on 140,000 ounces of gold at an average floor price of $409.75, paying approximately $1.0 million in cash for the options.

We purchased an additional 90,000 put options in the third quarter of 2005 locking in a $400 per ounce floor for each of the 90,000 ounces. Increases in gold price during the first six of 2006 resulted in a nil value for the puts at June 30, 2006. This was $0.1 million less than the value at December 31, 2005 and approximately $1.0 million less than the initial purchase cost. We have 112,500 ounces of put options with an average strike price of $404 per ounce remaining at June 30, 2006.

To acquire the put options in the third quarter of 2005, we sold 90,000 ounces of call options with a strike price of $525 per ounce. The revenue from the sale of the call options exactly offset the cost of the put options bought in the same quarter. At the beginning of 2006 there were 65,000 call options outstanding. During the second quarter of 2006 we bought back 30,000 ounces of call options for $2.6 million. Lower gold prices at June 30, 2006 resulted in a $0.3 million decrease in settlement costs of the calls and accordingly we recorded a $0.4 million mark–to–market gain on the calls. In addition call options for 17,000 ounces were exercised during the first half of 2006 requiring a $1.5 million payment to the counterparty. The payment is included in derivative loss in the Statement of Operations. At June 30, 2006 our gold call obligation consists of 18,000 ounces at $525 per ounce.

Foreign Currency Forward Positions – To help control the potential adverse impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on the cost of equipment and materials we expect to purchase during the 2006 construction phase of the Bogoso Sulfide Expansion Project, we entered into Rand forward contracts. These contracts, established without cost, had a fair value of $(1.0) million and $1.0 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

The following table summarizes our derivative contracts at June 30, 2006:

												Total/

14. Asset Retirement Obligations

Our Asset Retirement Obligations (“ARO”) are equal to the present value of all estimated future closure costs associated with reclamation, demolition and stabilization of our Bogoso/Prestea and Wassa mining and ore processing properties. Included in this liability are the costs of mine closure and reclamation, processing plant and infrastructure demolition, tailings pond stabilization and reclamation and environmental monitoring costs. While the majority of these costs will be incurred near the end of the mines’ lives, it is expected that certain on—going reclamation costs will be incurred prior to mine closure. These costs are recorded against the current ARO provision.

The changes in the carrying amount of the ARO were as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2005		$	11,393
Accretion expense			354
Cost of reclamation work performed			(523	)
New AROs incurred during the period			1,129
Balance at June 30, 2006		$	12,353
Current portion		$	2,735
Long term portion		$	9,618

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Our commitments and contingencies include the following items:

	(a)		Environmental Regulations – The Company’s mining and exploration activities are subject to various laws and regulations governing the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations are continually changing and are generally becoming more restrictive. As such we cannot predict the full amount of our future expenditure to comply with these laws and regulations. We conduct our operations so as to protect the environment and believe our operations are in compliance with applicable laws and regulations in all material respects.
	(b)		Environmental Bonding in Ghana – In 2005, pursuant to a reclamation bonding agreement between the Ghana Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and WGL, we bonded $3.0 million to cover future reclamation obligations at Wassa. To meet the bonding requirements we established a $2.85 million letter of credit and deposited $0.15 million of cash with the EPA. In addition, pursuant to a bonding agreement between the EPA and BGL we bonded $9.5 million in early 2006 to cover our future obligations at Bogoso/Prestea. To meet these requirements we deposited $0.9 million of cash with the EPA with the balance covered by a letter of credit.
	(c)		Cash Restricted for Environmental Rehabilitation Liabilities – In 1999, we were required, according to the acquisition agreement with the sellers of BGL, to restrict $6.0 million of cash to be used for the ongoing and final reclamation and closure costs at Bogoso. Between 1999 and 2001 we withdrew $2.6 million of the restricted cash to cover our out–of–pocket cash reclamation costs. There have been no disbursements of the restricted cash since 2001. Now that BGL has met the EPA’s environmental bonding requirements, we will seek to amend the agreement with the original sellers of BGL and obtain their consent to allow us to withdraw the remaining restricted cash which now totals $3.5 million.
	(d)		Royalties –

	(i)		Dunkwa Properties: As part of the acquisition of the Dunkwa properties in August 2003, we agreed to pay the seller a net smelter return royalty on future gold production from the Mansiso and Asikuma properties. Per the acquisition agreement, there will be no royalty due on the first 200,000 ounces produced from Mampon which is located on the Asikuma property. The amount of the royalty is based on a sliding scale which ranges from 2% of net smelter return at gold prices at or below $300 per ounce up to 3.5% for gold prices in excess of $400 per ounce.
	(ii)		Government of Ghana: Under the laws of Ghana, a holder of a mining lease is required to pay an annual royalty of not less than 3% and not more than 6% of the total revenues earned from the lease area. The royalty is payable on a quarterly basis. We currently pay a 3% annual royalty on gold production from Bogoso/Prestea and Wassa.
	(iii)		Benso: Benso is subject a 1.5% net smelter return royalty and a $1.00 per ounce gold production royalty. The smelter return royalty may be purchased for $4.0 million (or $6.0 million if a feasibility study indicates more than 3.5 million ounces of recoverable gold) and the gold production royalty may be purchased for $0.5 million.

(iv)

Prestea Underground – The Prestea Underground is subject to a 2.5% net profits interest on future income. Ownership of the 2.5% net profit interest is currently held by the bankruptcy trustee overseeing liquidation of Prestea Gold Resources Limited, our former joint venture partner in the Prestea Underground.

	(e)		Afema Project – On March 29, 2005 we entered into an agreement with Societe d’Etat pour le Developpement Minier de la Cote d’Ivoire (“SO.DE.MI.”), the Cote d’Ivoire state mining and exploration company, to acquire their 90% interest in the Afema gold property in south–east Cote d’Ivoire. A $0.1 million initial payment to SO.DE.MI. provided us the right to carry out a six month detailed technical due diligence program. On September 30, 2005 a six month extension to March 29, 2006 was granted by SO.DE.MI. to allow Golden Star to carry out further due diligence work and to analyze the large quantity of data collected during 2005. On March 14, 2006, we contacted SO.DE.MI. clarifying that (i) Golden Star will be indemnified in respect of the past environmental degradation at Afema, and (ii) that no other claims against the property exist. SO.DE.MI. is still considering its response to the latter question and hence the option remains unexercised pending their decision. In addition to the acquisition payments, we agreed to pay SO.DE.MI. a royalty on any future gold production from the Afema property. The royalty is indexed to the gold price and ranges from 2% of net smelter returns at gold prices below $300 per ounce to 3.5% of net smelter returns for gold prices exceeding $525 per ounce. If we proceed with the $1.5 million payment to acquire full rights to the property, the purchase agreement requires us to spend an additional $3.5 million on exploration work at Afema, subject to exploration success, over the following three and a half years.
	(f)		We are engaged in routine litigation incidental to our business. No material legal proceedings, involving us or our business are pending, or, to our knowledge, contemplated, by any governmental authority. We are not aware of any material events of non–compliance with environmental laws and regulations.

The 8.4 million warrants expiring February 14, 2007 are traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol GSC.WT.A. No warrants were exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2006.

18. Stock Based Compensation

Stock Options – We have one stock option plan, the 1997 Stock Option Plan, as amended (the “Plan”) and options are granted under this plan from time to time at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Options granted are non–assignable and are exercisable for a period of ten years or such other period as stipulated in a stock option agreement between Golden Star and the optionee. Under the GSR Plan, we may grant options to employees, consultants and directors of the Company or its subsidiaries for up to 15,000,000 shares of common stock. Options take the form of non–qualified stock options, and the exercise price of each option is not less than the market price of our stock on the date of grant. Options typically vest over periods ranging from immediately to four years from the date of grant. Vesting periods are determined at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

In addition to options issued under the Plan, 2,533,176 options were issued to various employees of St. Jude in exchange for St Jude options of which 864,000 remain unexercised as of June 30, 2006. All of the remaining unexercised options held by St. Jude employees are vested. All figures shown below include the options issued to St. Jude employees.

Amounts recognized in the statements of operations with respect to the Plan are as follows:

		Six months ended June 30,
		2006				2005
Total cost during the period		$	1,045			$	802
Amount of related income tax benefit recognized to income			—				—

We granted 746,000 and 514,000 options during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005, respectively. The Company recognized $1.0 million and $0.9 million of non–cash compensation expense in the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

The fair value of options granted during the first six months of 2006 and 2005 were estimated at the grant dates using the Black–Scholes option–pricing model based on the assumptions noted in the following table:

		Six months ended June 30,
		2006				2005
Expected volatility		62.5% to 96.1%					34.9%
Risk–free interest rate		2.44% to 2.78%				3.15% to 3.52%
Expected lives			3.5 to 5 years				3.5 to 5 years
Dividend yield			0%				0%

Expected volatilities are based on the historical volatility of Golden Star’s shares. Golden Star uses historical data to estimate share option exercise and employee departure behavior used in the Black–Scholes model; groups of employees that have similar historical behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of the options granted is derived from the output of the option pricing model and represents the period of time that the option granted are expected to be outstanding; the

range given below results from certain groups of employees exhibiting different post–vesting behaviors. The risk–free rate for periods within the contractual term of the option is based on the Canadian Chartered Bank Administered Interest rates in effect at the time of the grant.

A summary of option activity under the Plan as of June 30, 2006 and changes during the six months then ended is presented below:

										Weighted–
						Weighted–				Average

Exercisable at June 30, 2006			4,026				1.78				4.2			$	7,174

The weighted–average grant date fair value of share options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005 was Cdn$2.50 and Cdn$1.58, respectively. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $2.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

A summary of the status of non–vested options at June 30, 2006 and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2006, is presented below:

						Weighted

Vested			(610	)			1.84
Forfeited			(71	)			2.09
Nonvested at June 30, 2006			220				1.88

As of June 30, 2006 there was a total unrecognized compensation cost of $1.0 million related to non–vested share–based compensation granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted–average period of 2.8 years. The total fair values of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 were Cdn$1.1 million and Cdn$0.4 million, respectively.

Stock Bonus Plan – In December 1992, we established an Employees’ Stock Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”) for any full–time or part–time employee (whether or not a director) of the Company or any of our subsidiaries who has rendered meritorious services which contributed to the success of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Bonus Plan provides that a specifically designated committee of the Board of Directors may grant bonus common shares on terms that it might determine, within the limitations of the Bonus Plan and subject to the rules of applicable regulatory authorities. The Bonus Plan, as amended, provides for the issuance of 900,000 common shares of bonus stock of which 495,162 common shares had been issued as of June 30, 2006.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 we issued 4,000 and 45,342 common shares, respectively, to employees under the Bonus Plan.

19. Income Taxes

Income tax (expense)/benefit attributable to net income before income taxes consists of:

		Three months ended June 30,								Six months ended June 30,

Total		$	(8,294	)		$	(33	)		$	(6,971	)		$	21

The current tax expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is for the gain on sale of the Moto shares. The Canadian future tax benefit recorded relates primarily to exploration expenditures incurred by St. Jude. The foreign future tax expense recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2006 relates primarily to the sale of EURO (see Note 6), derivative losses incurred, and the decrease in the Ghanaian tax rate. Golden Star records a valuation allowance against any portion of its remaining future income tax assets that it believes will, more likely than not, fail to be realized.

23. Related Parties

During the first half of 2006 we obtained legal services from a legal firm to which our Chairman is counsel. Total value of all services purchased from this law firm during the first half was $0.6 million. Our Chairman did not personally perform any legal services for us during the first quarter nor did he benefit directly or indirectly from payments for the services performed by the firm.

During the first quarter of 2006, a corporation controlled by Michael A. Terrell, a director of Golden Star, provided management services to St. Jude for which it was paid Cdn$0.13 million. Mr. Terrell became a director of Golden Star following our acquisition of St. Jude in December 2005. Mr. Terrell’s company ceased providing services to St. Jude at March 31, 2006.

24. Financial Instruments

Fair Value – Our financial instruments are comprised of cash, short term investments, accounts receivable, restricted cash, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, accrued wages, payroll taxes, derivatives and debt. The fair value of cash and short term investments, derivatives, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and accrued wages, payroll taxes and current debt equals their carrying value due to the short term nature of these items. The fair value of restricted cash is equal to the carrying value as the cash is invested in short term, high–quality instruments.

25. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States
