REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors and Stockholder
America West Airlines, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of America West Airlines, Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the
related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholder's equity and comprehensive income for the years then ended. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that
we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of America West Airlines,
Inc. and subsidiary as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has restated the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31,
2003 and the consolidated statement of changes in stockholder's equity and comprehensive income for the year then ended.
