STANDARD PARKING CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(in thousands, except for share and per share data, unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Standard Parking Corporation have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of adjustments of a normal and recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations have been included. Operating results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008. The financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 14, 2008.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and joint ventures in which the Company has more than 50% ownership interest. Minority interest recorded in the consolidated statement of income is the joint venture partner’s non-controlling interest in consolidated joint ventures. We have interests in twelve joint ventures, each of which operates between one and twenty-two parking facilities. Of the twelve joint ventures, nine are majority owned by us and are consolidated into our financial statements, and three are single purpose entities where we have a 50% interest or a minority interest. Investments in joint ventures where the Company has a 50% or less non-controlling ownership interest are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The existing VIEs in which we have a variable interest are not consolidated into our financial statements because we are not the primary beneficiary.
2. Stock Split
On December 4, 2007, the Board of Directors declared a 2-for-1 stock split in the form of a 100% common stock dividend to stockholders of record as of the close of business on January 8, 2008, which was distributed on January 17, 2008. All share and per share data included in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been adjusted to reflect this stock split.
3. Stock-Based Compensation
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method and consequently we have not retroactively adjusted prior period results. Under this method, compensation costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 are based on the estimated fair value of the respective options and the proportion vesting in the period. Deductions for stock-based employee compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Allocation of compensation expense was made using historical option terms for option grants made to our employees and historical price volatility.
The Company has an amended and restated Long-Term Incentive Plan that was adopted in conjunction with our IPO. On February 27, 2008, our Board approved an amendment to our Long-Term Incentive Plan, subject to shareholder approval, that increased the maximum number of shares of common stock available for awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan from 2,000,000 to 2,175,000 and extended the Plan’s termination date. Our shareholders approved this Plan amendment on April 22, 2008, and the Plan now terminates twenty years from the date of such approval, or April 22, 2028. At September 30, 2008, 127,471 shares remained available for award under the Plan. In most cases, options granted under the Plan vest at the end of a three-year period from the date of the award. Options are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price at the date of grant.
6
Stock Options
We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of each option grant as of the date of grant. The volatilities are based on the 90 day historical volatility of our common stock as of the grant date. The risk free interest rate is based on zero-coupon U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option. For options granted prior to 2008, the expected life for options was calculated using the simplified method. The simplified method was calculated as the vesting term plus the contractual term divided by two.

There were no options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
On January 24, 2008, we issued vested stock grants totaling 1,084 shares to a certain director. The total value of the grant was $25 and is included in general and administrative expenses.
On April 22, 2008, we issued vested stock grants totaling 18,900 shares to certain directors. The total value of the grant was $385 and is included in general and administrative expenses.
The Company recognized no stock based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and $2 of stock based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2007, which is included in general and administrative expense. The Company recognized $411 and $281 of stock based compensation expense, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is also included in general and administrative expense. As of September 30, 2008, there was no unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested options.
Restricted Stock
In December 2006, the Board of Directors adopted a performance-based incentive program under our Long-Term Incentive Plan. This new program provided participating executives with the opportunity to earn a combination of stock (50%) and cash (50%) if certain performance targets for pre-tax income and pre-tax free cash flow are achieved. On February 23, 2007, certain participating executives became entitled to performance restricted stock based on the stock price at the commencement of the first three year performance cycle (2007 – 2009) and as a result 16,404 shares were issued subject to vesting upon the achievement of the performance goals. On April 13, 2007, an additional 13,294 shares of the performance restricted stock were issued subject to vesting upon the achievement of the three year performance goals to the remaining participating executives. On December 31, 2007, 3,849 shares were released free of restrictions in accordance with the achievement of the first year performance goals.
In March 2008, the Company’s Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors authorized a one-time grant of 750,000 restricted stock units that subsequently were awarded to members of our senior management team on July 1, 2008 in lieu of any further incentive compensation pursuant to the restricted stock and cash award program for cycles that otherwise would have begun in 2008 and thereafter.
In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, recording of stock-based compensation expense for awards with performance conditions is based on the probable outcome of that performance condition. The Company recognized $26 and $48 of stock-based compensation expense and $26 and $48 of cash compensation expense related to the performance-based incentive program, for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses. The Company recognized $80 and $141 of stock-based compensation expense and $80 and $141 of cash compensation expense related to the performance-based incentive program, for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, which is included in general and administrative expenses. As of September 30, 2008, there was $147 of unrecognized compensation costs related to the performance-based incentive program which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.25 years.
Restricted Stock Units
In March 2008, the Company’s Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors authorized a one-time grant of 750,000
7
restricted stock units that subsequently were awarded to members of our senior management team on July 1, 2008. The restricted stock units vest in one-third installments on each of the tenth, eleventh and twelfth anniversaries of the grant date. The restricted stock unit agreements provide for accelerated vesting upon the recipient’s retirement.
The cost of restricted stock units is determined using the fair value of our common stock on the date of the grant, and compensation expense is recognized over the vesting period. In accordance with SFAS No. 123R, we estimate forfeitures at the time of the grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. We use historical data to estimate pre-vesting forfeitures and record stock-based compensation expense only for those awards that are expected to vest.
The Company recognized $494 of stock based compensation expense related to the restricted stock units for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, which is included in general and administrative expense. As of September 30, 2008, there was $12,064 of unrecognized stock-based compensation costs, net of estimated forfeitures, related to the restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately eight years.
4. Net Income Per Common Share
In accordance with SFAS No.128, Earnings Per Share (“EPS”), basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted daily average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is based upon the weighted daily average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period plus dilutive potential common shares, including stock options and restricted stock units using the treasury-stock method.
A reconciliation of the weighted average basic shares outstanding to the weighted average diluted shares outstanding is as follows:

For the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, 25,849 and 29,698 shares, respectively, of performance based restricted stock were not included in the computation of weighted diluted common share amounts because the number of shares ultimately issued is contingent on the Company’s performance goals, which were not achieved as of that date.
There are no additional securities that could dilute basic EPS in the future that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS, other than those disclosed.
5. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, Fair Value Measurements (“Statement No. 157”). Statement No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement does not require new fair value measurements, but is applied to the extent that other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. The statement emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Companies will be required to disclose the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements, and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. Certain requirements of Statement No. 157 are required for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The effective date for other requirements of Statement No. 157 has been deferred for one year by the FASB. The Company adopted the sections of Statement No. 157 which are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and there was no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the delayed Sections of Statement No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements, but is not yet in a position to determine the impact of its adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (“Statement No. 141R”), effective prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Statement No. 141R establishes principles and requirements on how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interests in the acquiree, goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase and accounting for transaction costs. Additionally, Statement No. 141R determines what information must be disclosed to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The Company will adopt Statement No. 141R on January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51. (“Statement No. 160”) Statement No. 160 requires entities to report noncontrolling (minority) interests as a component of shareholders’ equity on the balance sheet; include all earnings of a consolidated subsidiary in consolidated results of operations; and treat all transactions between the parent and its noncontrolling interest holder that increase or decrease the noncontrolling interest as equity provided the parent does not lose control. Statement No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning
on or after December 15, 2008, must be adopted concurrently with SFAS 141R, and adoption is prospective only; however, presentation and disclosure requirements described above must be applied retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that Statement No. 160 will have on its financial statements and disclosures.
6. Acquisitions
During February 2008, the Company acquired certain assets of G.O. Parking in Chicago, Illinois. Consideration for the acquisition was approximately $5,261 with an additional $3,000 to be paid in five annual installments of $600, commencing February 2009. In addition, the Company paid and capitalized $202 in acquisition costs.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company completed four acquisitions and purchased certain assets of a valet operation in Seattle, Washington. Consideration for all acquisitions was approximately $6,550, ($5,928 paid in cash and $622 through the sale of certain contract rights in a non-cash transaction) with an estimated $1,525 to be paid in the future based upon financial performance compared to forecast of which $64 has been paid in 2008. In addition, the Company paid and capitalized $274 in acquisition costs. A summary of the acquisitions follows:
· In September 2007, we acquired certain assets of Downtown Parking, LLC. a parking operator in Chicago, Illinois.
· In September 2007, we acquired certain assets of Alliance International Security, Inc., a regional security services firm based in Los Angeles, California.
· In July 2007, we acquired contract rights for certain locations in Los Angeles, California from a related party.
· In July 2007, we acquired certain valet parking locations in Honolulu, Hawaii.
The acquisitions for 2008 and 2007 were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The Company financed the acquisitions through additional term borrowings under the senior credit facility and existing cash. The results of operations of these acquisitions are included in the Company’s consolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition. None of the acquisitions, either individually or in the aggregate is considered material to the Company.

Depreciation includes losses on abandonments of leasehold improvements and equipment of $342 and $89 in 2008 and 2007, respectively.
8. Cost of Contracts, Net
Cost of contracts represents the contractual rights associated with providing parking services at a managed or leased facility. Cost consists of either capitalized payments made to third parties or the value ascribed to contracts acquired through acquisition. Cost of contracts are amortized over the estimated life of the contracts, including anticipated renewals and terminations.
The balance of cost of contracts is comprised of the following:

We entered into a 25-year agreement with the State of Connecticut that expires on April 6, 2025, under which we operate the surface parking and 3,500 garage parking spaces at Bradley International Airport located in the Hartford, Connecticut metropolitan area. The parking garage was financed on April 6, 2000 through the issuance of $53,800 of State of Connecticut special facility revenue bonds, representing $47,700 non-taxable Series A bonds and a separate taxable issuance of $6,100 Series B bonds. The Series B bonds were retired on July 1, 2006 according to the terms of the indenture. The Bradley agreement provides that we deposit with a trustee for the bondholders all gross revenues collected from operations of the surface and garage parking, and from these gross revenues, the trustee pays debt service on the special facility revenue bonds, operating and capital maintenance expenses of the surface
and garage parking facilities and specific annual guaranteed minimum payments to the State. Principal and interest on the Bradley special facility revenue bonds increase from approximately $3,600 in lease year 2002 to approximately $4,500 in lease year 2025. Our annual guaranteed minimum payments to the State increase from approximately $8,300 in lease year 2002 to approximately $13,200 in lease year 2024.
To the extent that monthly gross receipts are not sufficient for the trustee to make the required payments, we are obligated pursuant to our agreement, to deliver the deficiency amount to the trustee within three business days of being notified. We are responsible for these deficiency payments regardless of the amount of utilization for the Bradley parking facilities. The deficiency payments represent contingent interest bearing advances to the trustee to cover operating cash flow requirements. In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we made deficiency payments (net of repayments) of $1,329 and did not record or receive any interest and premium income related to deficiency repayments from the trustee. In the nine months ended September 30, 2007, we received repayments (net of deficiency payments) of $498 and received $331 for interest and premium income on deficiency repayments from the trustee. The total receivable from the trustee for interest and premium income related to deficiency repayments as of September 30, 2008 was $52 compared to $25 as of September 30, 2007.
Deficiency payments are recorded as a receivable by us for which we are reimbursed from time to time as provided in the trust agreement. As of September 30, 2008, we made cumulative deficiency payments to the trustee $5,464, net of reimbursements. We believe these advances to be fully recoverable and therefore have not recorded a valuation allowance for them. We do not guarantee the payment of any principal or interest on any debt obligations of the State of Connecticut or the trustee. We are entitled to collect management fees related to Bradley provided all other operating expenses are met. Due to the existence of outstanding guarantor payments, $3,450 in cumulative management fees have not been recognized as of September 30, 2008, and no management fees were recognized during the nine months ending September 30, 2008 and 2007.

Senior Credit Facility
On July 15, 2008, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a group of six banks: Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, issuing lender and as a lender; Wells Fargo Bank N.A., as syndication agent, issuing lender and as a lender; Fifth Third Bank, as a lender; First Hawaiian Bank, as a lender; JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as a lender; and U.S. Bank National Association, as a lender. This credit agreement amended and restated our credit facility dated June 29, 2006.
The senior credit facility was increased from $135,000 to $210,000. The $210,000 revolving credit facility will expire in July 2013. The revolving credit facility includes a letter of credit sub-facility with a sublimit of $50,000 and a swing line sub-facility with a sublimit of $10,000.
This revolving credit facility bears interest, at our option, at either (1) LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR Margin ranging between 2.00% and 3.50% depending on the ratio of our total funded indebtedness to our EBITDA from time to time (“Total Debt Ratio”) or (2) the Base Rate (as defined below) plus the applicable Base Rate Margin ranging between 0.50% and 2.00% depending on our Total Debt Ratio. We may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months for LIBOR based borrowings. The Base Rate is the greater of (i) the rate publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate”, or (ii) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50%.
The senior credit facility includes a fixed charge ratio covenant, a total debt to EBITDA ratio covenant, a limit on our ability
to incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock or pay dividends, and certain other restrictions on our activities. We are required to repay borrowings under the senior credit facility out of the proceeds of future issuances of debt or equity securities and asset sales, subject to certain customary exceptions. The senior credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and all assets acquired in the future (including a pledge of 100% of the stock of our existing and future domestic guarantor subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of our existing and future foreign subsidiaries).
We are in compliance with all of our financial covenants as of September 30, 2008.
The weighted average interest rate on our senior credit facility at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was 4.7% and
5.4%, respectively. The rate includes all outstanding LIBOR contracts, interest rate cap effect and letters of credit. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings, not including letters of credit, was 5.2% and 6.5% at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
At September 30, 2008, we had $20,813 of letters of credit outstanding under the senior credit facility, borrowings against the senior credit facility aggregated $106,600, and we had $82,587 available under the senior credit facility.
We have entered into various financing agreements, which were used for the purchase of equipment.

Business Unit Segment Information
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS 131”), establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise’s operating segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources. The CODM, as defined by SFAS 131, is the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).
Each of the operating segments is directly responsible for revenue and expenses related to their operations including direct regional administrative costs. Finance, information technology, human resources, and legal are shared functions that are not allocated back to the four operating segments. The CODM assesses the performance of each operating segment using information about its revenue and operating income (loss) before interest, taxes, and depreciation and amortization, but does not evaluate segments using discrete asset information. There are no inter-segment transactions and the Company does not allocate interest and other income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization or taxes to operating segments. The accounting policies for segment reporting are the same as for the Company as a whole.
The Company is managed based on regions administered by executive vice presidents. Three regions are generally organized geographically with the fourth region encompassing major airports and transportation operations nationwide. The following is a summary of revenues (excluding reimbursement of management contract expenses) and operating income before depreciation and amortization by regions for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. Information related to prior periods has been recast to conform to the current region alignment.

15. Income Taxes
Income tax expense is based on a projected annual effective tax rate of approximately 39.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to approximately 40.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2007. The change in the Company’s effective tax rate resulted from a decrease in the Company’s state effective tax rate.
In July 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company recognizes potential interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. Upon adoption, the Company completed a detailed analysis of its tax positions and determined that the implementation of FIN 48 did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position or results from operations. As of September 30, 2008, the Company has not identified any tax positions that would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position.
The tax years that remain subject to examination for the Company’s major tax jurisdictions at September 30, 2008 are shown below:
2005 – 2007 |

16. Hurricane Katrina
On May 2, 2008, we entered into a definitive settlement agreement with our insurance carrier to finalize all of our open claims with respect to Hurricane Katrina. The settlement agreement is for $4,225 of which $2,000 was received previously. We are required to reimburse the owners of the leased and managed locations for property damage of approximately $2,360, of which $2,138 has been paid as of September 30, 2008. After payment of settlement fees, expenses and other amounts due under contractual arrangements, we recorded $1,995 in pre-tax income in the second quarter of 2008, of which $1,623 was recorded as revenue and $372 was recorded as a reduction of general and administrative expenses.

We continue to be subject to certain factors that could cause our results to differ materially from expected and historical results (see the “Risk Factors” set forth in our 2007 Form 10-K filed on March 14, 2008).
Overview
Our Business
We manage parking facilities in urban markets and at airports across the United States and in three Canadian provinces. We do not own any facilities, but instead enter into contractual relationships with property owners or managers.
We operate our clients’ properties through two types of arrangements: management contracts and leases. Under a management contract, we typically receive a base monthly fee for managing the facility, and we may also receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of facility performance objectives. We also receive fees for ancillary services. Typically, all of the underlying revenues and expenses under a standard management contract flow through to our clients rather than to us. However, some management contracts, which are referred to as “reverse” management contracts, usually provide for larger management fees and require us to pay various costs. Under lease arrangements, we generally pay to the property owner either a fixed annual rent, a percentage of gross customer collections or a combination thereof. We collect all revenues under lease arrangements and we are responsible for most operating expenses, but we are typically not responsible for major maintenance, capital expenditures or real estate taxes. Margins for lease contracts vary significantly, not only due to operating performance, but also due to variability of parking rates in different cities and varying space utilization by parking facility type and location. As of September 30, 2008, we operated 89% of our locations under management contracts and 11% under leases.
In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, management’s primary focus is on our gross profit, total general and administrative expense and general and administrative expense as a percentage of our gross profit. Although the underlying economics to us of management contracts and leases are similar, the manner in which we are required to account for them differs. Revenue from leases includes all gross customer collections derived from our leased locations (net of parking tax), whereas revenue from management contracts only includes our contractually agreed upon management fees and amounts attributable to ancillary services. Gross customer collections at facilities under management contracts, therefore, are not included in our revenue. Accordingly, while a change in the proportion of our operating agreements that are structured as leases versus management contracts may cause significant fluctuations in reported revenue and expense of parking services, that change will not artificially affect our gross profit. For example, as of September 30, 2008, 89% of our locations were operated under management contract and 84% of our gross profit for the period ended September 30, 2008 was derived from management contracts. Only 48% of total revenue (excluding reimbursement of management contract expenses), however, was from management contracts because under those contracts the revenue collected from parking customers belongs to our clients. Therefore, gross profit and total general and administrative expense, rather than revenue, are management’s primary focus.
General Business Trends
We believe that sophisticated commercial real estate developers and property managers and owners recognize the potential for parking and related services to be a profit generator rather than a cost center. Often, the parking experience makes both the first and the last impressions on their properties’ tenants and visitors. By outsourcing these services, they are able to capture additional
17
profit by leveraging the unique operational skills and controls that an experienced parking management company can offer. Our ability to consistently deliver a uniformly high level of parking and related services and maximize the profit to our clients improves our
ability to win contracts and retain existing locations. Our retention rate for the twelve month period ended September 30, 2008 was 90%, compared to 89% for the year-ago period, which also reflects our decision not to renew, or terminate, unprofitable contracts.
For the three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2007, average gross profit per location decreased by 0.2% from $10.8 thousand to $10.7 thousand, as a result of acquired businesses with lower gross profit per location.
Summary of Operating Facilities
We focus our operations in core markets where a concentration of locations improves customer service levels and operating margins. The following table reflects our facilities operated at the end of the periods indicated:

Revenue
We recognize parking services revenue from lease and management contracts as the related services are provided. Substantially all of our revenues come from the following two sources:
· Parking services revenue—lease contracts. Parking services revenues related to lease contracts consist of all revenue received at a leased facility, including parking receipts (net of parking tax), consulting and real estate development fees, gains on sales of contracts and payments for exercising termination rights.
· Parking services revenue—management contracts. Management contract revenue consists of management fees, including both fixed and performance-based fees, and amounts attributable to ancillary services such as accounting, equipment leasing, payments received for exercising termination rights, consulting, developmental fees, gains on sales of contracts, insurance and other value-added services with respect to managed locations. We believe we generally purchase required insurance at lower rates than our clients can obtain on their own because we effectively self-insure for all liability and worker’s compensation claims by maintaining a large per-claim deductible. As a result, we have generated operating income on the insurance provided under our management contracts by focusing on our risk management efforts and controlling losses. Management contract revenues do not include gross customer collections at the managed locations as this revenue belongs to the property owner rather than to us. Management contracts generally provide us with a management fee regardless of the operating performance of the underlying facility.
Reimbursement of Management Contract Expense
Reimbursement of management contract expense consists of the direct reimbursement from the property owner for operating expenses incurred under a management contract.
Cost of Parking Services
Our cost of parking services consists of the following:
· Cost of parking services—lease contracts. The cost of parking services under a lease arrangement consists of contractual rental fees paid to the facility owner and all operating expenses incurred in connection with operating the leased facility. Contractual fees paid to the facility owner are generally based on either a fixed contractual amount or a percentage of gross revenue or a combination thereof. Generally, under a lease arrangement we are not responsible for major capital expenditures or real estate taxes.
· Cost of parking services—management contracts. The cost of parking services under a management contract is generally the responsibility of the facility owner. As a result, these costs are not included in our results of operations. However, our reverse management contracts, which typically provide for larger management fees, do require us to pay for certain costs.
Gross Profit
Gross profit equals our revenue less the cost of generating such revenue. This is the key metric we use to examine our
18
performance because it captures the underlying economic benefit to us of both lease contracts and management contracts.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include salaries, wages, payroll taxes, insurance, travel and office related expenses for our headquarters, field offices, supervisory employees, chairman of the board and board of directors.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation is determined using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various asset classes or in the case of leasehold improvements, over the initial term of the operating lease or its useful life, whichever is shorter. Intangible assets determined to have finite lives are amortized over their remaining useful life.
Valuation Allowance Related to Long-Term Receivables
Valuation allowance related to long-term receivables is recorded when there is an extended length of time estimated for collection of long-term receivables.
Seasonality
During the first quarter of each year, seasonality impacts our performance with regard to moderating revenues, with the reduced levels of travel most clearly reflected in the parking activity associated with our airport and hotel businesses as well as increases in certain costs of parking services, such as snow removal, both of which negatively affect gross profit. Although our revenues and profitability are affected by the seasonality of the business, general and administrative costs are relatively stable throughout the fiscal year.
Results of Operations
Three Months ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Three Months ended September 30, 2007
Parking services revenue—lease contracts. Lease contract revenue increased $2.4 million, or 6.8%, to $38.6 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $36.2 million in the third quarter 2007. This increase resulted from an increase in new location revenue of $4.5 million, an increase in same location revenue of $0.1 million, partially offset by reductions in revenue related to contract expirations of $1.6 million and $0.6 million non-cash gain related to the sale of a contract right in conjunction with one of the acquisitions completed during the third quarter 2007 that did not recur in 2008. The increase in same location revenue was due to increases in monthly parking revenue of $0.5 million, or 5.0%, offset by decreases in short-term parking revenue of $0.4 million, or 1.8%.
Parking services revenue—management contracts. Management contract revenue increased $5.7 million, or 18.3%, to $36.9 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $31.2 million in the third quarter of 2007. This increase resulted from an increase of $5.6 million in revenues from new locations, an increase in same location revenue of $3.6 million, partially offset by reductions in revenue attributable to contract expirations of $3.2 million and a decrease of $0.3 million primarily related to insurance adjustments. The increase in same location revenue was primarily due to additional fees from reverse management locations and ancillary services.
Reimbursement of management contract expense. Reimbursement of management contract expenses increased $16.7 million, or 19.7%, to $101.9 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $85.2 million in the third quarter of 2007. This increase resulted from additional reimbursements for costs incurred on the behalf of owners.
Cost of parking services—lease contracts. Cost of parking services for lease contracts increased $3.8 million, or 12.1%, to $35.5 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $31.7 in the third quarter of 2007. This increase resulted from an increase in costs from new locations of $4.1 million, an increase in same location costs of $0.8 million, an increase of $0.5 million primarily related to insurance costs, partially offset by reductions in costs attributable to contract expirations of $1.6 million. The increase in same location costs was due to increases in rent expense of $0.5 million, or 2.1%, which related to percentage rental payments from increased revenue, and an increase in other operating costs of $0.3 million.
Cost of parking services—management contracts. Cost of parking services for management contracts increased $3.1 million, or 23.4%, to $16.5 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $13.4 million in the third quarter of 2007. This increase resulted from an increase of $3.0 million in costs from new reverse management locations, an increase in same location costs of $2.8 million, that was partially offset by reductions in costs attributable to contract expirations of $1.8 million and a $0.9 million decrease primarily related to insurance costs. The increase in same location costs was primarily due to increased costs from reverse management locations and ancillary services.
19
Reimbursed management contract expense. Reimbursed management contract expenses increased $16.7 million, or 19.7%, to $101.9 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $85.2 million in the third quarter of 2007. This increase resulted from additional reimbursed costs incurred on the behalf of owners.
Gross profit—lease contracts. Gross profit for lease contracts decreased $1.4 million, or 30.7%, to $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $4.5 million in the third quarter of 2007. Gross margin percentage for lease contracts decreased to 8.1% in the third quarter of 2008, compared to 12.5% in the third quarter of 2007. This margin decrease was primarily due to increases in costs from new locations.
Gross profit—management contracts. Gross profit for management contracts increased $2.6 million, or 14.5%, to $20.3 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $17.8 million in the third quarter of 2007. Gross margin percentage for management contracts decreased to 55.2% in the third quarter of 2008, compared to 57.1% in the third quarter of 2007. This decrease was primarily due to increases in costs from reverse management locations and a decrease in favorable insurance loss experience reserve estimates relating to prior years of $0.3 million.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million, or 5.8%, to $12.0 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $11.4 million in the third quarter of 2007. This increase resulted primarily from increases in payroll and payroll-related expenses of $0.6 million.
Interest expense. Interest expense remained flat at $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2008 and 2007.
Interest income. Interest income remained flat at $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2008 and 2007.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense decreased $0.1 million, or 2.1%, to $3.1 million in the third quarter of 2008, compared to $3.2 million in the third quarter of 2007. A decrease in our effective tax rate related to state income taxes, resulted in a $0.3 million decrease in income tax expense that was partially offset by a $0.2 increase in income tax expense due to an increase of our pre-tax income.
Segment revenue
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS 131”), establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise’s operating segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources. The CODM, as defined by SFAS 131, is our President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).
The Company is managed based on regions administered by executive vice presidents. Three regions are generally organized geographically with the fourth region encompassing major airports and transportation operations nationwide. The following is a summary of revenues (excluding reimbursement of management contract expenses) by region for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. Information related to prior years has been recast to conform to the current regional alignment.

The increase in same location revenue was due to increases in short-term parking revenue of $1.4 million, or 2.1%, and an increase in monthly parking revenue of $1.9 million, or 6.4%.
Parking services revenue—management contracts. Management contract revenue increased $21.3 million, or 24.2%, to $109.2 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $87.9 million in the first nine months of 2007. This increase resulted from an increase of $19.0 million in revenues from new locations, an increase in same location revenue of $9.5 million, an increase of $0.2 million related to the Katrina settlement, which was partially offset by reductions in revenue attributable to contract expirations of $6.8 million, and a decrease of $0.6 million primarily related to insurance adjustments. The increase in same location revenue was primarily due to additional fees from reverse management locations and ancillary services.
Reimbursement of management contract expense. Reimbursement of management contract expenses increased $37.4 million, or 14.2%, to $300.7 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $263.3 million in the first nine months of 2007. This increase resulted from additional reimbursements for costs incurred on the behalf of owners.
Cost of parking services—lease contracts. Cost of parking services for lease contracts increased $9.6 million, or 10.1%, to $105.1 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $95.5 million in the first nine months of 2007. This increase resulted from an
21
increase in costs of $11.2 million from new locations, an increase in same location costs of $4.4 million, an increase of $0.6 million primarily related to insurance costs, offset by reductions in costs attributable to contract expirations of $6.6 million. The increase in same location costs was due to increases in rent expense of $2.9 million, or 4.4%, related to percentage rental payments from increased revenue, $0.2 million, or 1.6%, for increases in payroll and payroll-related expenses, and an increase in other operating costs of $1.3 million.
Cost of parking services—management contracts. Cost of parking services for management contracts increased $14.9 million, or 40.5%, to $51.7 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $36.8 million in the first nine months of 2007. This increase resulted from an increase of $10.8 million in costs from new reverse management locations, an increase in same location costs of $7.3 million, which was partially offset by reductions in costs attributable to contract expirations of $2.7 million and a decrease of $0.5 million primarily related to insurance costs. The increase in same location costs was primarily due to increased costs from reverse management locations and ancillary services.
Reimbursed management contract expense. Reimbursed management contract expenses increased $37.4 million, or 14.2%, to $300.7million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $263.3 million in the first nine months of 2007. This increase resulted from additional reimbursed costs incurred on the behalf of owners.
Gross profit—lease contracts. Gross profit for lease contracts decreased $0.7 million, or 5.8%, to $11.2 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $11.9 million in the first nine months of 2007. Gross margin for lease contracts decreased to 9.6% in the first nine months of 2008, compared to 11.1% in the first nine months of 2007. This decrease was primarily due to decreases in revenue related to contract expirations and a decrease in favorable insurance loss experience reserve estimates relating to prior years of $0.1 million.
Gross profit—management contracts. Gross profit for management contracts increased $6.3 million, or 12.4%, to $57.4 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $51.1 million in the first nine months of 2007. Gross margin for management contracts decreased to 52.6% in the first nine months of 2008, compared to 58.1% in the first nine months of 2007. This decrease was primarily due to increases in costs from reverse management locations and a decrease in favorable insurance loss experience reserve estimates relating to prior years of $0.4 million.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $2.5 million, or 7.4%, to $35.5 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $33.0 million in the first nine months of 2007. This increase resulted from increases in payroll and payroll-related expenses of $1.7 million, an increase in post-retirement benefits of $0.4 million, an increase of $0.3 million due to stock grants for our Board of Directors, an increase in rent expense of $0.3 million, an increase in professional fees of $0.2 million, partially offset by $0.4 million related to the Katrina settlement.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased $0.9 million, or 17.5%, to $4.4 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $5.3 million in the first nine months of 2007. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease in interest rates.
Interest income. Interest income decreased $0.3 million, to $0.2 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $0.5 million in the first nine months of 2007. This decrease resulted primarily from a decrease of repayments received in 2008 for interest bearing guarantor payments related to Bradley International Airport and payment of interest in conjunction with the collection of an outstanding receivable in 2007, which did not recur in 2008.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense increased $1.2 million, or 14.2%, to $9.7 million in the first nine months of 2008, compared to $8.5 million in the first nine months of 2007. An increase in our pre-tax income resulted in a $1.4 million increase in income tax expense that was partially offset by a $0.2 decrease in income tax expense due to a decrease in our effective tax rate.
Segment revenue
SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS 131”), establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise’s operating segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses, and about which separate financial information is regularly evaluated by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources. The CODM, as defined by SFAS 131, is our President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”).
The Company is managed based on regions administered by executive vice presidents. Three regions are generally organized geographically with the fourth region encompassing major airports and transportation operations nationwide. The following is a summary of revenues (excluding reimbursement of management contract expenses) by region for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. Information related to prior years has been recast to conform to the current regional alignment.

Revenue increased $30.2 million, or 15.5%, to $225.5 million for the first nine months of 2008, compared to $195.3 million in the first nine months of 2007. This increase resulted from an increase of $9.9 million in revenue from Region One, an increase of $6.0 million in revenue from Region Two, an increase of $3.5 million in revenue from Region Three, an increase of $4.9 million in revenue from Region Four, and an increase in revenue of $5.9 million in Other.
Region One revenue increased $9.9 million, or 12.8%, to $87.2 million for the first nine months of 2008, compared to $77.3 million for the first nine months of 2007. This increase resulted from an increase of $14.6 million in revenue from new locations and an increase in same location revenue of $2.7 million, partially offset by reductions in revenue attributable to contract expirations of $7.4 million.
Region Two revenue increased $6.0 million, or 29.2%, to $26.5 million for the first nine months of 2008, compared to $20.5 million for the first nine months of 2007. This increase resulted from an increase of $4.4 million in revenue from new locations, an increase of $1.6 million related to the Katrina settlement, an increase in same location revenue of $1.4 million, partially offset by decreases in revenue attributable to contract expirations of $1.4 million.
Region Three revenue increased $3.5 million, or 7.8% to $47.9 million for the first nine months of 2008, compared to $44.4 million for the first nine months of 2007. This increase resulted from an increase of $8.0 in revenue from new locations and an increase in same location revenue of $0.9 million, partially offset by reductions in revenue attributable to contract expirations of $4.8 million and $0.6 million non-cash gain related to the sale of a contract right in conjunction with one of the acquisitions completed during the third quarter 2007 that did not recur in 2008..
Region Four revenue increased $4.9 million, or 9.5%, to $55.8 million for the first nine months of 2008, compared to $50.9 million for the first nine months of 2007. This increase resulted from an increase of $4.2 million in revenue from new locations and an increase in same location revenue of $1.3 million, partially offset by reductions in revenue attributable to contract expirations of $0.6 million.
Other revenue increased $5.9 million to $8.1 million for the first nine months of 2008, compared to $2.2 million for the first nine months of 2007. This increase resulted primarily from increases in ancillary revenue that is not specifically identifiable to a region.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Outstanding Indebtedness
On September 30, 2008, we had total indebtedness of approximately $111.4 million, an increase of $31.0 million from December 31, 2007. The $111.4 million includes:
· $106.6 million under our senior credit facility; and
· $4.8 million of other debt including capital lease obligations and obligations on seller notes and other indebtedness.
We believe that our cash flow from operations, combined with additional borrowing capacity under our senior credit facility, which amounted to $82.6 million at September 30, 2008, will be sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, or to fund other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before their respective maturities. We believe that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms.
Senior Credit Facility
On July 15, 2008, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with a group of six banks: Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, issuing lender and as a lender; Wells Fargo Bank N.A., as syndication agent, issuing lender and as a lender; Fifth Third Bank, as a lender; First Hawaiian Bank, as a lender; JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as a lender; and U.S. Bank National Association, as a lender. This credit agreement amended and restated our credit facility dated June 29, 2006.
The senior credit facility was increased from $135,000 to $210,000. The $210,000 revolving credit facility will expire in July 2013. The revolving credit facility includes a letter of credit sub-facility with a sublimit of $50,000 and a swing line sub-facility with a sublimit of $10,000.
This revolving credit facility bears interest, at our option, at either (1) LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR Margin ranging between 2.00% and 3.50% depending on the ratio of our total funded indebtedness to our EBITDA from time to time (“Total Debt Ratio”) or (2) the Base Rate (as defined below) plus the applicable Base Rate Margin ranging between 0.50% and 2.00% depending on our Total Debt Ratio. We may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months for LIBOR based borrowings. The Base Rate is the greater of (i) the rate publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, N.A. as its “prime rate,” or (ii) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50%.
The senior credit facility includes a fixed charge ratio covenant, a total debt to EBITDA ratio covenant, a limit on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock or pay dividends, and certain other restrictions on our activities. We are required to repay borrowings under the senior credit facility out of the proceeds of future issuances of debt or equity securities and asset sales, subject to certain customary exceptions. The senior credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and all assets acquired in the future (including a pledge of 100% of the stock of our existing and future domestic guarantor subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of our existing and future foreign subsidiaries).
We are in compliance with all of our financial covenants.
At September 30, 2008, we had $20.8 million of letters of credit outstanding under the senior credit facility, borrowings against the senior credit facility aggregated $106.6 million and we had $82.3 million available under the senior credit facility.
Interest Rate Cap Transactions
We use a variable rate senior credit facility to finance our operations. This facility exposes us to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense increases and conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense also decreases. We believe that it is prudent to limit the exposure of an increase in interest rates.
In 2006 we entered into a Rate Cap Transaction with Bank of America, which allows us to limit our exposure on a portion of our borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Under the Rate Cap Transaction, we receive payments from Bank of America each quarterly period to the extent that the prevailing three month LIBOR during that period exceeds our cap rate of 5.75%. The Rate Cap Transaction caps our LIBOR interest rate on a notional amount of $50.0 million at 5.75% for a total of 36 months. The Rate Cap Transaction began as of August 4, 2006 and settles each quarter on a date that coincides with our quarterly interest payment dates under the Credit Agreement. This Rate Cap Transaction is classified as a cash flow hedge, and we calculate the effectiveness of the hedge on a quarterly basis. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized in current period earnings as an increase of interest expense.
24
At September 30, 2008, the Rate Cap Transaction was reported at its fair value of $11 thousand and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Total changes in the fair value of the Rate Cap Transaction as of September 30, 2008 was $0.3 million, of which $0.2 million was recorded as an increase of interest expense in the consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. $73 thousand of this change was due to hedge ineffectiveness.
At December 31, 2007, the fair value of the Rate Cap Transaction was immaterial. Total changes in the fair value of the Rate Cap Transaction as of December 31, 2007 was $0.3 million, of which $0.1 million has been reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, on the consolidated balance sheet. $0.1 million of this change was recorded as an increase of interest expense in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2007.
We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes.

Letters of Credit
At September 30, 2008, we have provided letters of credit totaling $18.4 million to our casualty insurance carriers to collateralize our casualty insurance program.
As of September 30, 2008, we provided $2.4 million in letters to collateralize other obligations.
Deficiency Payments
Pursuant to our obligations with respect to the parking garage operations at Bradley International Airport, we are required to make certain payments for the benefit of the State of Connecticut and for holders of special facility revenue bonds. The deficiency payments represent contingent interest bearing advances to the trustee to cover operating cash flow requirements. The payments, if any, are recorded as a receivable by us for which we are reimbursed from time to time as provided in the trust agreement. As of September 30, 2008, we have advanced to the trustee $5.5 million, net of reimbursements. We believe these advances to be fully recoverable and therefore have not recorded a valuation allowance for them. We do not guarantee the payment of any principal or interest on any debt obligations of the State of Connecticut or the trustee.
We made deficiency payments (net of repayments) of $1.3 million in the first nine months of 2008 compared to receiving repayments (net of deficiency payments) of $0.5 million in the first nine months of 2007. We did not receive any payments for interest and premium income related to deficiency payments in the first nine months of 2008 and received $0.3 million in the first nine months of 2007.
Daily Cash Collections
As a result of day-to-day activity at our parking locations, we collect significant amounts of cash. Lease contract revenue is generally deposited into our local bank accounts, with a portion remitted to our clients in the form of rental payments according to the terms of the leases. Under management contracts, some clients require us to deposit the daily receipts into one of our local bank accounts, with the cash in excess of our operating expenses and management fees remitted to the clients at negotiated intervals. Other clients require us to deposit the daily receipts into client accounts and the clients then reimburse us for operating expenses and pay our management fee subsequent to month-end. Some clients require a segregated account for the receipts and disbursements at locations. Our working capital and liquidity may be adversely affected if a significant number of our clients require us to deposit all parking revenues into their respective accounts.
Our liquidity also fluctuates on an intra-month and intra-year basis depending on the contract mix and timing of significant cash payments. Additionally, our ability to utilize cash deposited into our local accounts is dependent upon the availability and
movement of that cash into our corporate account. For all these reasons, from time to time, we carry a significant cash balance, while also utilizing our senior credit facility.
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $19.4 million for the first nine months of 2008. Cash provided included $25.8 million from operations and a net decrease in operating assets and liabilities of $6.4 million which was due to an increase in accounts receivable of $4.7 million, an increase in other assets of $1.4 million, an increase in prepaid assets of $0.2 million and a decrease in other liabilities of $0.7 million, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $0.6 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $25.4 million for the first nine months of 2007. Cash provided included $21.7 million from operations and a net increase in operating assets and liabilities of $3.7 million which was due to an increase in accounts payable of $4.6 million, an increase in other liabilities of $3.1 million, partially offset by an increase of $1.7 million in accounts receivable, an increase of $1.6 million in other assets and an increase of $0.7 million in prepaid expenses.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $9.2 million in the first nine months of 2008. Cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2008 included business acquisitions of $5.5 million, capital expenditures of $3.5 million for capital investments needed to secure and/or extend lease facilities, investment in information system enhancements and infrastructure, cost of contract purchases of $0.4 million and $0.1 million for contingent payments on previously acquired contracts, which was partially offset by $0.3 million of proceeds from the sale of assets.
26
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $8.9 million in the first nine months of 2007. Cash used in investing for the first nine months of 2007 included business acquisitions of $5.8 million, capital expenditures of $3.0 million for capital investments needed to secure and/or extend leased facilities, investment in information system enhancements and infrastructure and $0.1 million for contingent payments on previously acquired contracts.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $7.1 million in the first nine months of 2008. Cash used in financing activities for 2008 included $37.5 million used to repurchase our common stock, $2.3 million used for payments of debt issuance costs, $1.2 million used for payments on capital leases, $0.1 million used for payments on long-term borrowings, offset by $32.4 million in proceeds from our senior credit facility, $0.7 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $0.9 million in excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $17.9 million in the first nine months of 2007. Cash used in financing activities for 2007 included $15.0 million to repurchase our common stock, $2.9 million in payments on the senior credit facility, $1.7 million for payments on capital leases, and $0.1 million for cash used on long-term borrowings, partially offset by $0.8 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and $1.0 million in excess tax benefits related to stock option exercises.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We had cash and cash equivalents of $11.4 million at September 30, 2008, compared to $8.5 million at December 31, 2007. The cash balances reflect our ability to utilize funds deposited into our local accounts and which based upon availability, timing of deposits and the subsequent movement of that cash into our corporate accounts may result in significant changes to our cash balances.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rates
Our primary market risk exposure consists of risk related to changes in interest rates. We use a variable rate senior credit facility to finance our operations. This facility exposes us to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense increases and conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense also decreases. We believe that it is prudent to limit the exposure of an increase in interest rates.
In 2006 we entered into a Rate Cap Transaction with Bank of America, which allows us to limit our exposure on a portion of our borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Under the Rate Cap Transaction, we receive payments from Bank of America each quarterly period to the extent that the prevailing three month LIBOR during that period exceeds our cap rate of 5.75%. The Rate Cap Transaction caps our LIBOR interest rate on a notional amount of $50.0 million at 5.75% for a total of 36 months. The Rate Cap Transaction began as of August 4, 2006 and settles each quarter on a date that coincides with our quarterly interest payment dates under the Credit Agreement. This Rate Cap Transaction is classified as a cash flow hedge, and we calculate the effectiveness of the hedge on a quarterly basis. The ineffective portion of the cash flow hedge is recognized in current period earnings as an increase of interest expense.
At September 30, 2008, the Rate Cap Transaction was reported at its fair value of $11 thousand and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Total changes in the fair value of the Rate Cap Transaction as of September 30, 2008 was $0.3 million, of which $0.2 million was recorded as an increase of interest expense in the consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. $73 thousand of this change was due to hedge ineffectiveness.
At December 31, 2007, the fair value of the Rate Cap Transaction was immaterial. Total changes in the fair value of the Rate Cap Transaction as of December 31, 2007 was $0.3 million, of which $0.1 million has been reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of tax, on the consolidated balance sheet. $0.1 million of this change was recorded as an increase of interest expense in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2007.
We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes.
Our $210.0 million senior credit facility provides for a $210.0 million variable rate revolving facility. In addition, the credit facility includes a letter of credit sub-facility with a sublimit of $50.0 million and a swing line sub-facility with a sublimit of $10.0 million. Interest expense on such borrowing is sensitive to changes in the market rate of interest. If we were to borrow the entire $220.0 million available under the facility, a 1% increase in the average market rate would result in an increase in our annual interest expense of $2.20 million.
This amount is determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost, but does not
27
consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Due to the uncertainty of the specific changes and their possible effects, the foregoing sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal. All foreign investments are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the exception of Canada. We had approximately $2.3 million of Canadian dollar denominated cash instruments at September 30, 2008. We had no Canadian dollar denominated debt instruments at September 30, 2008. We do not hold any hedging instruments related to foreign currency transactions. We monitor foreign currency positions and may enter into certain hedging instruments in the future should we determine that exposure to foreign exchange risk has increased.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Within the 90-day period prior to the filing date of this report, our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and corporate controller carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and corporate controller concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective and designed to ensure that material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods.
Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or any other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation referred to above.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.
