1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
IdleAire Technologies Corporation offers comprehensive in-cab idle reduction, driver work environment, communication, safety and other training services to the long-haul trucking industry. The Company provides its Advanced Truck Stop Electrification (ATE®) services at travel centers and truck fleet terminals throughout North America.
The unaudited financial statements of IdleAire Technologies Corporation (the Company) included herein have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Item 310 of Regulation S-B. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The financial statements are prepared on a consistent basis with those of the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005 except for the adoption of SFAS 123(R) discussed below and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto. The interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to the current period presentation.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue for services is recognized upon service delivery; revenue from ancillary product sales is recognized at the point of sale. Revenue is recorded net of significant promotional, contractual and customer service discounts as the Company continues to utilize discounts to introduce its services to truck drivers through its facilities at truck stops, travel plazas and other locations. Deferred trade revenue represents unutilized balances from the sale of prepaid cards and member cards.
Grant revenue is recognized as follows: (i) grants with continuing service requirements are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract; (ii) grants designated for funding of revenue-generating equipment are recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective equipment; and (iii) grants funded based on hours of emission reduction are recognized based on actual usage over the term of the grant. Deferred grant revenue represents that portion of grant monies billed or received but not yet earned.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are carried at cost, including improvements that add to productive capacity or extend the useful life. Amortization of assets recorded under capital leases is included with depreciation expense in the accompanying statements of operations. Depreciation is computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
| | |
Revenue generating equipment | | 3-15 years |
Furniture and fixtures | | 5 years |
Data processing equipment and software | | 3 years |
Automobiles and motorized equipment | | 3 years |
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of useful life or lease term.
Capitalized Leases
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with a service provider which included terms that required the service provider to furnish certain equipment at no additional cost to the Company, to be received as sites are constructed. The Company capitalizes the fair value of this equipment as a capital lease in accordance with EITF 01-8,Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Leaseand Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 13,Accounting for Leasesand reduces the lease obligation over the term of the service agreement as service fees are paid.As of September 30, 2006, capitalized lease obligations were $1,936,002 and are included with other liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
When indicators of impairment are present, the Company evaluates the carrying value of constructed revenue-generating assets in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,Accounting for the Disposal or Impairment of Long-Lived Assets(“SFAS No. 144”). Based on these evaluations, asset impairment is determined to exist if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying amount of the respective asset. See Note 2 for further information regarding asset impairments.

Asset Retirement Obligations
The Company’s lease agreements with its travel centers and host sites generally contain obligations to return the leased property to its original condition upon termination of the lease. The Company accounts for these obligations in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligationsand FASB Interpretation 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143.As of September 30, 2006, the Company’s asset retirement obligation was $1,193,787 and is included with other liabilities in the accompanying balance sheets. The asset retirement obligation was not material in prior periods. Key assumptions used to calculate the Company’s asset retirement obligation were (i) 2.5% rate of inflation; (ii) weighted average credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate of 21%; and (iii) weighted average life of obligation of 13 years. Expected settlement dates generally represent the lesser of the useful life of the constructed assets or the life of the lease, and are evaluated using site-specific facts and circumstances.
Adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123(R)
On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 – revised 2004 (“SFAS 123(R)”),Share-Based Payment, which replaced Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”),Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,and superseded APB Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”),Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. For awards with graded vesting, the Company has elected to recognize the expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is the vesting period.
Since the Company used the minimum-value method to measure pro forma compensation cost for employee stock options under SFAS 123, it was required to use the prospective method upon adoption of SFAS 123(R). Under the prospective method, the Company continues to account for its nonvested awards outstanding at the date of adoption using the provisions of APB 25; all awards granted, modified or settled after the date of adoption are accounted for using the measurement recognition and attribution provisions of SFAS 123(R). Pro forma disclosures are no longer permitted, and prior periods are not revised or restated for comparative purposes. Accordingly, there was no cumulative effect upon adoption.

Adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards 123(R) (continued)
The Company recorded $38,550 in stock-based compensation cost during the three months ended September 30, 2006, and $171,694 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company’s loss from operations, loss before income taxes and net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, was higher by $147,694 than if the Company had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25.
Calculating stock-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the estimated fair value of the company’s outstanding shares, the expected term of the stock-based awards, stock price volatility, and pre-vesting option forfeitures. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management’s judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
See Note 3 for further information regarding our stock-based compensation assumptions and expenses.
New Accounting Standards
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, on September 15, 2006. This new Statement defines fair value, establishes the framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Although early adoption of this Statement is permitted, it will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of evaluating what impact, if any, this new standard may have on its financial statements.

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
New Accounting Standards (continued)
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”),Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with Statement No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes thresholds and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company will adopt FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a significant impact.
On November 10, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 123(R)-3,Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123(R). The Company has up to one year from the date of adoption of FAS 123(R) to elect to use the simplified method. The Company is in the process of evaluating this FSP and the effect the election would have on the Company’s financial statements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company began full-scale execution of its nationwide site roll-out plan, which included use of funds raised in the 2005 Senior Discount Notes Offering and earmarked for capital expansion of “core sites” meeting our site selection criteria. In addition, we identified and evaluated non-core sites which no longer complied with our new site selection criteria. Based on such evaluations, the Company opened 48 new sites, closed five non-core sites, and determined that two other non-core sites were impaired. During the second quarter of 2006, the Company recorded a $1,303,885 impairment charge, a $316,807 loss on settlement of its asset retirement obligations and wrote off approximately $706,000 of fixed assets associated with these closed or impaired sites. Additionally, based on these evaluations, the Company determined that certain potential sites were no longer viable candidates for site selection and wrote off approximately $233,000 of capitalized site survey costs. The aforementioned write-offs of fixed assets, as well as the disposal of approximately $397,000 in service module components and other miscellaneous fixed assets, are included in loss on disposal of fixed assets in the accompanying income statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.

3. Share-Based Payments
Stock Options
On September 1, 2000, the Company adopted the 2000 Stock Option Plan (the Plan) to provide qualified and non-qualified options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The Plan provides for options to be granted at an option price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the Company’s common shares as determined by the Board of Directors, to have a term of ten years and to vest on an exercise date as determined by the Board of Directors, generally no sooner than ninety days after the option is granted. The Company has reserved 20,000,000 shares for issuance under this Plan, of which 12,970,786 were available for grant at September 30, 2006.
On April 5, 2006, the Board of Directors approved a new Director Compensation Policy, subject to the 2000 Stock Option Plan. Under the policy, non-employee directors are entitled to receive stock options in addition to cash fees, travel reimbursement, and an annual retainer. Non-employee directors receive options for 10,000 common shares at the first meeting following their initial election to the Board, and options for 10,000 common shares on the date of each subsequent annual shareholder’s meeting. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company approved the grant of 30,000 options to purchase common shares at $0.82 per share to non-employee directors.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS 123(R), which requires the Company to compute the fair value of options at the date of grant and to recognize such costs as compensation expense ratably over the vesting period of the options. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the minimum value method to determine fair values of options granted for pro forma disclosures. Since the Company previously used the minimum value method for determining the fair value of options granted for disclosure purposes, the Company is only required to apply the provisions for estimating the fair value of options under SFAS 123(R) prospectively to new options awarded or modifications to existing options.

Stock Options (continued)
The Company uses the Black-Scholes Merton model for determining the fair values of options granted and recognizes compensation ratably over the vesting periods. The Company granted 902,075 and 307,541 stock options to employees and directors at a weighted average fair value per share of $0.43 and $1.25 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, using the following weighted average assumptions:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| | 2006 | | 2005 |
Expected term in years | | | 5.6 | | | | 6.1 | |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 4.9 | % | | | 4.2 | % |
Expected dividend rate | | | — | | | | — | |
Expected volatility | | | 51.7 | % | | | — | |
The Company’s computation of expected term was calculated as the simple average of the weighted average vesting period and the contractual life of each option, as permitted by the “shortcut approach” in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107,Share-Based Payment.The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the United States treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected term of the stock option in effect at the time of grant. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the minimum value method to measure stock compensation cost for pro forma disclosures, which excludes the effects of expected volatility. Since the Company’s stock is not publicly traded and the Company has no historical data on volatility of its stock, the expected volatility used for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, is based on the historical volatility of similar public companies (referred to as “guideline companies”). In evaluating similarity, the Company considered factors such as industry, stage of life cycle, size, and financial leverage.
To date, the Company has not recorded any tax benefits resulting from the exercise of options due to uncertainty surrounding the timing of realizing the benefits of its deferred tax assets in future periods.

Business Overview
We provide in-cab heating and air-conditioning, electric power, satellite television, communications, Internet and other services to professional long-haul truck drivers through our patented ATE® system. We believe that our ATE® system is the only commercial idle elimination that provides significant value without imposing additional costs to all of the key participants in the trucking industry. Through September 30, 2006, we have funded the development and commercialization of the ATE® system and our operations with debt, equity, and government grants. Prior to our Senior Discount Notes Offering in December 2005, we raised a total of approximately $113.6 million through the sale of our securities, consisting of $10.5 million of common stock, $30.9 million of Series A Preferred Stock, $49.9 million of Series B Preferred Stock and $22.3 million of Series C Preferred Stock. In December 2005, we raised approximately $234.8 million through the sale of Senior Discount Notes and Common Stock Warrants. A substantial portion of the sale proceeds of the Senior Discount Notes Offering is intended for the nationwide rollout of our ATE® system network. In addition, through September 30, 2006, we have been awarded approximately $53.6 million of grants of which we have received approximately $10.9 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we began full-scale execution of our nationwide site roll-out plan, which included use of funds raised in the 2005 Senior Discount Notes offering and earmarked for capital expansion of “core sites” meeting our site selection criteria. In addition, we identified and evaluated non-core sites which no longer complied with our new criteria. Based on such evaluations, we opened 48 new sites and closed five non-core sites.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we added 46 new truck stops, 2 fleet terminals and closed and relocated the equipment from 5 non-core sites, giving us a total of 67 sites at September 30, 2006. The following table summarizes our quarterly site deployment activity during this period:

As of September 30, 2006, our ATE® system was installed in 4,371 parking spaces at 67 locations across 21 states. We have either 10-year or 15-year agreements with three of the four largest national commercial travel center chains for the right to install our patented ATE® system at over 550 different locations. Our capital expansion plan, initiated during the first quarter of 2006, includes the installation of our ATE® system in approximately 13,000 parking spaces by mid-2007, of which we have completed 3,247 new spaces through September 30, 2006. We plan to install our ATE® system in a mix of travel centers and fleet terminals in approximately 35 states.
18
The major steps involved in our nationwide rollout of our ATE® system include design and approval of site layouts, supply chain procurement of site specific materials, construction, site acceptance testing, staffing and training. Travel center personnel positions include regional managers, area managers, site supervisors, floating supervisors and site representatives. We use a remote staffing model to hire employees for each location primarily utilizing internet job boards, colleges, technical schools, and local workforce development offices for sourcing.
In choosing the travel center sites for our nationwide rollout, we have used the following new site selection criteria for each new core site: (i) a demonstrated supply of parked, resting trucks surveyed at each travel center by counting (at 4 to 6 hour intervals for 3 to 5 days) the number of trucks parked, trucks idling, curtains pulled (i.e. driver’s sleeping), and dropped trailers; (ii) a good layover location with high quality driver amenities such as a 24-hour restaurant, clean showers and laundry facilities; (iii) a minimum of 100 truck parking spaces and installing ATE® in a maximum of 40% of the available parking spaces; (iv) preferentially located in the southern U.S. where hot weather is expected to contribute to a higher demonstrated usage rate; (v) within a non-attainment region and may be subject to existing anti-idling laws; and (vi) within close proximity (i.e. approximately one to two hour driving distance apart) to an existing IdleAire® regional installation site. In building some of our early sites, we have made exceptions where pilot projects were undertaken on a non-commercial basis with public partners or were funded by air quality grants that stipulated the locations where our ATE® systems could be installed. The attractiveness of our service is dependant on the ability of truck drivers to access the service along their routes without additional time and fuel consumption costs. We believe our nationwide rollout plan will provide sufficient coverage and density to make our service attractive to both long-haul truck drivers and fleet owners. At an average travel center consisting of 73 installed spaces, we anticipate capital expenditures of approximately $1.1 million, or about $15,000 a space.
We have designed the ATE® system erection, assembly and installation procedures to minimize or eliminate major disruption of daily business at travel centers. Moreover, the nature of the installation is relatively simple and involves mostly on-site electrical work, since the major components are pre-constructed off-site and shipped to each location for assembly. After the receipt of all necessary permits and approvals, erection and assembly, including the installation of all electrical and communications utilities, takes on average 50 to 60 days. Our ATE® system uses modular components. We outsource the erection, assembly and installation for the deployment of new sites to proven IdleAire construction teams. When installation is complete, the ATE® system is tested and fully commissioned on-site and is also tested remotely.
In order to reach the approximately 1.3 million of parked long-haul truck drivers idling each day, we also plan to install our ATE® systems at fleet terminals, maintenance depots, and other “congregation points” for truck drivers hauling goods for one or more companies. Fleet terminals are positioned nationwide and generally are used by fleet owners for maintenance, refueling, “hours of service” resting, safety training, dispatch logistics, driver recruiting and customer service.
Our nationwide ATE® system rollout plan is focused on major interstate truck traffic corridors in approximately 35 states across the United States. We plan to use substantially all of the $201.6 million of net proceeds we received from the Senior Discount Notes Offering to install our ATE® system.
19
We generate revenues from the sale of basic and premium services, sale of ancillary products and government grant monies earned as well as from other sources.
| • | | Basic and premium services. Basic services include HVAC and shore power electricity, basic satellite television (20 channels), unlimited local telephone and Internet access. Our basic services are charged hourly, with a one hour minimum – the retail rate per hour for basic services was $2.18 as of September 30, 2006, with an approximate 15% discount for fleets and gold members. To obtain the discount rate for basic services, a fleet company must sign a fleet contract. Premium services include premium satellite television (46 channels), movies-on-demand, Ethernet or wireless based Internet access, unlimited long distance telephone service, and driver training modules. These services are generally sold in packages or blocks of time. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, revenues from basic and premium services accounted for 71.1% and 59.7% of our total net revenues, respectively. |
|
| • | | Amortization of grants. As of September 30, 2006, we have been awarded approximately $53.6 million in grant assistance from governmental agencies of which we have received $10.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, revenues from grant amortization accounted for 13.4% and 28.7% of our total net revenues, respectively. |
|
| • | | Ancillary products. Ancillary products include window adaptors, computer accessories including keyboards, Ethernet and Wi-Fi cards and remotes, coaxial and power cables, telephones and annual Gold Card memberships. The Gold Card membership allows members to purchase our products and selected services at a discount. Any driver may purchase a gold membership for $10 which is effective for 6 months. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, revenues from sale of ancillary products accounted for 12.2% and 8.1% of our total net revenues, respectively. |
|
| • | | Other revenues. Other revenue consists primarily of advertising sales and service fees. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, other revenues accounted for 3.3% and 3.5% of our total net revenues, respectively. |
Our site level costs and expenses primarily consist of (i) salaries and benefits for a team of site representatives, (ii) lease consideration for parking spaces, (iii) cost of electricity, satellite television and movies, (iv) telephone and communications, (v) marketing and advertising, (vi) ancillary cost of goods sold, and (vii) equipment maintenance and replacement. Our travel center locations are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by a team of site representatives to sell our services to professional drivers, train drivers on the system’s operation and solve driver issues. In addition, site representatives are an integral part of our customer service team and perform customer support tasks requested by our call center, and perform daily preventative maintenance to minimize any unscheduled service calls. As part of our exclusive agreement with travel centers to install our ATE® system, the travel centers receive lease consideration from us.

Total net revenues. Total net revenues increased $4,221,361, or 89%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005, principally due to increases in revenues from basic and premium services and ancillary product sales, as follows:
| • | | Basic and premium services, net.Basic and premium services, net, increased $3,543,398 or 126%, due principally to the following developments from the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to the nine months ended September 30, 2006: (i) the average number of ATE®-equipped spaces available for rent increased 56% from 1,319 spaces to 2,054 spaces; (ii) total hours of usage increased 82% from 1,806,672 hours to 3,293,039 hours; (iii) year-to-date occupancy increased from 22.0% to 24.6%; and (iv) average prices on basic services increased 19%. Additionally, customer price discounts were more heavily utilized for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to promote system usage. Customer discounts represented 20% of total net revenues, or $947,293, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 but declined to 12% of total net revenue, or $1,049,720, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. |
21
| • | | Ancillary product sales.Ancillary product sales increased $704,706, or 185%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The amortization of gold membership sales contributed $282,818 to this increase while adapter sales contributed $289,689. |
Operating expenses.Operating expenses increased $11,546,930, or 52%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005, due principally to increases in direct site operating costs, selling, general and administrative expenses and other losses associated with impairing, retiring or disposing of long-lived assets, as follows:
| • | | Direct site operating costs.Direct site operating costs increased $5,235,291, or 61%, from the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to the nine months ended September 30, 2006, but declined as a percentage of net revenues from 182% to 155% during those same periods. As job duties became better defined and the number of repeat customers continued to increase, we were able to reduce staffing at each of our sites; accordingly, site-level salaries and benefits decreased from 110% of total net revenues, or $5,189,015, for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to 81%, or $7,247,184, of total net revenues, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. With the increase in number of sites deployed, there were year-to-date expense increases in (i) occupancy and equipment of $1,518,876; (ii) marketing of $206,397; (iii) travel and entertainment of $443,307; (iv) site property taxes of $140,122; and (v) asset retirement obligation cost of $328,042. |
|
| • | | Selling, general and administrative expenses.Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $2,599,778, or 29%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005, but declined as a percentage of net revenues from 191% to 130% during those same periods. This increase was due primarily to increases in corporate salaries and related benefits of $1,501,396 associated with increased headcounts, occupancy and equipment costs of $673,171, travel costs of $233,544, and property and franchise taxes of $488,193. These increases were partially offset by a net year-to-date period decrease in accounting and professional consulting, and temporary labor costs of $676,488. |
|
| • | | Impairments, Disposals and Site Closures.During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Company began full-scale execution of its nationwide site roll-out plan, which included use of funds raised in the 2005 Senior Discount Notes Offering and earmarked for capital expansion of “core sites” meeting our site selection criteria. In addition, we identified and evaluated non-core sites which no longer complied with our new site selection criteria. Based on such evaluations, we opened 48 new sites, closed five non-core sites, and determined that two other non-core sites were impaired. |
22
| | | As a result of these actions, we recorded a $1,303,885 impairment charge, a $316,807 loss on settlement of asset retirement obligations and wrote off approximately $706,000 of fixed assets associated with these closed or impaired sites. Additionally, based on these evaluations, we determined that certain potential sites were no longer viable candidates for site selection and wrote off approximately $233,000 of capitalized site survey costs. The remaining, approximate $397,000 of disposals recorded through the nine months ended September 30, 2006 were service module components and other miscellaneous items in the normal course of business. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a $522,984 loss on disposal, related principally to service module disposals. |
Interest income (expense), net.Interest income increased from $62,410 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $6,002,985 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, as average investments increased as a result of the proceeds received from the December 30, 2005 Senior Discount Notes Offering. Interest expense also increased from $190,552 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $20,470,494 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 primarily due to interest associated with the Senior Discount Notes Offering, offset by $4,148,138 of capitalized interest.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In December 2005, we raised approximately $234.8 million in gross proceeds through the sale of Senior Discount Notes and Common Stock Warrants (the “Senior Discount Notes Offering”); of the $207.6 million of net proceeds, $201.6 million was held in an escrow account and $6.0 million paid to the Company at closing as reimbursement for certain transaction-related expenses. All funds were distributed on the day of closing – December 30, 2005.
A substantial portion of the sale proceeds of the Senior Discount Notes Offering is being used for the nationwide rollout of our ATE® system network. In addition, through September 30, 2006, we have been awarded approximately $53.6 million of grants of which we have received approximately $10.9 million. As of September 30, 2006, we had cash and cash equivalents of $23,920,421 and restricted cash and investments of $79,479,462. The disbursement agreement stipulates initial disbursement amounts will be held in a disbursement account until the funds are needed from time to time to pay for the development, construction and operation of facilities and general corporate and other operating expenses of the Company. Subject to certain exceptions, the disbursement agent will authorize the disbursement of funds from the disbursement account upon a disbursement request containing certain certifications and identifying the purposes to which the requested funds will be applied following disbursement. The disbursement agreement allows two disbursements a month; one in the form of a facilities disbursement and one in the form of an advance disbursement, which is limited to $10.0 million per request.

Cash Flows
Our operating cash inflows consist principally of cash received from customers and grant monies received from governmental agencies, not all of which result in immediate revenue recognition, as follows:
| • | | Our business is currently somewhat seasonal, with peak usage in the summer and winter months. Accordingly, this may create variability in our cash receipts from sales to customers between periods, depending on the severity of weather patterns. We believe our network expansion and increasing fleet acceptance could reduce this seasonality in future periods. Additionally, customers frequently purchase branded member cards and assorted prepaid plans for future use. As of September 30, 2006, we have deferred recognition of such associated trade revenue of approximately $1.2 million to future periods. |
|
| • | | Through September 30, 2006, we have been awarded approximately $53.6 million in grants of which we have received cash of approximately $10.9 million. Of the total cash received, we have deferred recognition of $9.9 million of related revenue to future periods. Of the remaining $42.7 million in grant monies not yet received, such amounts will be collectible as additional sites are constructed. However, there can be no assurances that all amounts will be collected. In addition, we plan to continue our efforts to pursue other grant opportunities. |
Our operating cash outflows consist principally of site operating costs and selling, general and administrative expenses. Such costs currently exceed operating cash inflows. Our site operating costs generally vary directly with site operating revenues, with the exception of salaries and benefits and depreciation of our revenue-generating equipment.
We historically have satisfied our working capital requirements primarily through sales of equity and debt securities. Cash flows from operating, financing and investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 are summarized in the following table:

Operating Activities
The net cash used in operating activities of $6,233,927 during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and the use of cash of $16,356,192 during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 is due principally to our site operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses exceeding revenues. The change between periods is due to an increase in customer receipts of approximately $3.0 million, an increase in grant collections of approximately $0.3 million and a reduction of cash expended for operating activities totaling approximately $6.0 million.
Investing Activities
The $24,244,275 provided by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was primarily due to the use of restricted cash to purchase and prepay deposits on for equipment used in our site rollout and fund operational losses. The $2,108,864 used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was primarily due to purchases of property and equipment, less restricted cash released to operations.
Our capital expansion plan includes the installation of our ATE® systems in approximately 13,000 parking spaces by mid-2007, of which we have completed 3,247 new spaces through September 30, 2006, and 1,764 new spaces are under construction as of September 30, 2006. Capital expenditures for these 13,000 spaces are anticipated to be approximately $195 million. We plan to fund this expansion with our available cash and restricted cash, deposits made toward equipment purchases, grant monies already awarded but not yet invoiced, work in process components previously purchased and operating revenues as the additional spaces are placed in service. On a longer term basis, we plan to continue to install our ATE® equipment in nationwide sites and anticipate funding to be generated by the approximately 14,400 spaces we should have in place by mid-2007.
Financing Activities
The net cash used by financing activities of $15,527 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 included debt financing costs incurred of $135,553 offset by $120,026 from the exercise of stock options and warrants. This compares to net cash proceeds from financing activities of $18,281,475 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, which was generated principally from the issuance of preferred stock and notes, and borrowing on a bank line of credit.
We have not been profitable since inception, and we expect to incur net losses for the foreseeable future as we expand our sales efforts and grow our operations. As of September 30, 2006, our accumulated deficit was $(132.2) million and we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and investments of approximately $103.4 million. Our goal is to increase our sales volume and revenues to gain scale of operation and to drive cost reductions, which we believe will allow us to reach profitability.
We believe we have sufficient cash and availability to meet our funding requirements at least through 2007. If our existing resources are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may need to sell additional equity or issue debt securities. Any sale of additional equity or issuance of debt securities may result in dilution to our stockholders, and we cannot be certain that additional public or private financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain this additional financing when needed, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate one or more aspects of our business development activities, which could harm the growth of our business.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,Fair Value Measurements, on September 15, 2006. This new Statement defines fair value, establishes the framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Although early adoption of this Statement is permitted, it will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is in the process of evaluating what impact, if any, this new standard may have on our financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”),Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in financial statements in accordance with Statement No. 109,Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes thresholds and measurement attributes for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company will adopt FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have a significant impact.
On November 10, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. FAS 123(R)-3,Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards.The alternative transition method includes simplified methods to establish the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC pool”) related to the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation, and to determine the subsequent impact on the APIC pool and Statements of Cash Flows of the tax effects of employee stock-based compensation awards that are outstanding upon adoption of SFAS 123(R). The Company has up to one year from the date of adoption of FAS 123(R) to elect to use the simplified method. The Company is in the process of evaluating this FSP and the effect the election would have on the Company’s financial statements.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. In addition to the estimates presented below, there are other items within the Company’s financial statements that require estimation, but are not deemed critical as defined below. The Company believes these estimates are reasonable and appropriate. However, if actual experience differs from the assumptions and other considerations used, the resulting changes could have a material effect on the financial statements taken as a whole.
Management believes the following policies and estimates are critical because they involve significant judgments, assumptions, and estimates. Management has discussed the development and selection of its critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed the disclosures presented below relating to those policies and estimates.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.When indicators of impairment are present, the Company evaluates the carrying value of constructed revenue-generating assets in relation to the operating performance and future undiscounted cash flows of the underlying assets in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144,Accounting for the Disposal or Impairment of Long-Lived Assets(“SFAS No. 144”). Based on these evaluations, asset impairment is determined to exist if estimated future cash flows, undiscounted and without interest charges, are less than the carrying amount of the respective asset. Inherent in the analysis of impairment are subjective judgments about future cash flows. Failure to make appropriate conclusions regarding these judgments may result in an overstatement of the value of long-lived assets.
26
Asset Retirement Obligations.The Company’s lease agreements with its travel centers and host sites generally contain obligations to return the leased property to its original condition upon termination of the lease. These obligations represent asset retirement obligations subject to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations and FASB Interpretation 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143.We estimate our obligations based on the amount a third party would charge us to perform such activities; historical closure activities provide a basis for those estimates. Inherent in the calculation of asset retirement obligations are assumptions regarding our credit-adjusted risk free interest rate, the rate of inflation and the expected settlement date of the obligation. Settlement dates generally represent the lesser of the useful life of the constructed assets or the life of the lease, and are evaluated using site-specific facts and circumstances.
It is possible that actual results, including the amount of costs incurred and the timing of those events, could be significantly different from our estimates and assumptions. To the extent that such estimates, or related assumptions, prove to be significantly different than actual results, lower profitability may be experienced as we settle these obligations.
Stock-Based Compensation.On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 123(R), which replaced Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”),Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,and superseded APB Opinion No. 25 (“APB 25”),Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award.
Since the Company used the minimum-value method to measure pro forma compensation cost for employee stock options under SFAS 123, it was required to use the prospective method upon adoption of SFAS 123(R). Under the prospective method, the Company continues to account for its nonvested awards outstanding at the date of adoption using the provisions of APB 25; all awards granted, modified or settled after the date of adoption are accounted for using the measurement recognition and attribution provisions of SFAS 123(R).
The adoption of SFAS 123R did not have a material impact on our consolidated results of operations and cash flows, but may in the future. We believe that stock-based compensation aligns the interests of managers and non-employee directors with the interests of shareholders. We do not currently expect to significantly change our various stock-based compensation programs. See Note 3 to the Condensed Unaudited Financial Statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for further information regarding our stock-based compensation plans.
27
We use the Black-Scholes Merton standard option pricing model (“Black-Scholes model”) to determine the fair value of stock options. Calculating stock-based compensation expense requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding shares, the expected term of the stock-based awards, stock price volatility, and pre-vesting option forfeitures. The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of stock-based awards represent the Company’s best estimates, but these estimates involve inherent uncertainties and the application of management judgment. As a result, if factors change and the Company uses different assumptions, stock-based compensation expense could be materially different in the future.
The Company’s computation of expected term was calculated as the simple average of the weighted average vesting period and the contractual life of the option, as permitted by the “shortcut approach” in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, Share-Based Payment. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the United States treasury yield for a term consistent with the expected life of the stock option in effect at the time of grant. The Company has never declared or paid any cash dividends and does not presently plan to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company used the minimum value method to measure stock compensation cost, which excludes the effects of expected volatility. Since the Company’s stock is not publicly traded and the Company has no historical data on volatility of its stock, the expected volatility used for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, is based on the historical volatility of similar public companies (referred to as “guideline companies”). In evaluating similarity, the Company considered factors such as industry, stage of life cycle, size, and financial leverage. The amount of stock-based compensation expense we recognize during a period is based on the portion of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest. We estimate option forfeitures at the time of grant and revise those estimates in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
The Black-Scholes model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable, characteristics not present in our option grants. Existing valuation models, including the Black-Scholes and lattice binomial models, may not provide reliable measures of the fair values of our stock-based compensation. Consequently, there is a risk that our estimates of the fair values of our stock-based compensation awards on the grant dates may bear little resemblance to the actual values realized upon the exercise or forfeiture of those stock-based awards in the future. Some employee stock options may expire worthless, or only realize minimal intrinsic value, as compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and recognized in our financial statements. Alternatively, some employee stock options may realize significantly more value than the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and recognized in our financial statements. Currently, there is no market-based mechanism or other practical application to verify the reliability and accuracy of the estimates stemming from these valuation models, nor is there a means to compare and adjust the estimates to actual values.
The guidance in SFAS 123R is relatively new. The application of these principles may be subject to further interpretation and refinement over time. There are significant differences among valuation models, and there is a possibility that we may adopt different valuation models in the future. This may result in a lack of consistency in future periods and materially affect the fair value estimate of stock-based awards. It may also result in a lack of comparability with other companies that use different models, methods and assumptions.

Item 3. Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon this evaluation and as more fully discussed below, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of the period covered by this report in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
For the year ended December 31, 2005, although we were not at the time subject to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, our lack of appropriate accounting and financial reporting staff was identified as a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. Additionally, our lack of formal financial statement close processes and review procedures were also identified as a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
Subsequent to that time, we have begun remediation of our material weaknesses by hiring a new Chief Accounting Officer, a Corporate Controller, a Manager of Financial Reporting and a Manager of Internal Audit. Additionally, we continue to evaluate our staffing needs as circumstances change, including expansion of our operations and preparation for internal control reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002. We also have instituted financial statement close processes and review procedures, which we expect to continue to refine and formalize by December 31, 2006.
