MACQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE COMPANY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. Organization and Description of Business
Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust, or the Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, was formed on April 13, 2004. Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, or the Company, a Delaware limited liability company, was also formed on April 13, 2004. Prior to December 21, 2004, the Trust was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., or MIMUSA. MIMUSA, the Company’s Manager, is a subsidiary of the Macquarie Group of companies, which is comprised of Macquarie Bank Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide. Macquarie Bank Limited is headquartered in Australia and is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.
The Trust and the Company were formed to own, operate and invest in a diversified group of infrastructure businesses in the United States and other developed countries. The Company is the operating entity with a Board of Directors and other corporate governance responsibilities generally consistent with that of a Delaware corporation.
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, the Company’s major acquisitions were as follows:
(i) On May 1, 2006, Macquarie Infrastructure Company Inc., or MIC Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, completed its acquisition of 50% of the shares in IMTT Holdings Inc., the holding company for a bulk liquid storage terminal business operating as International-Matex Tank Terminals, or IMTT.
(ii) On June 7, 2006, MIC Inc. acquired The Gas Company, or TGC, a Hawaii limited liability company which owns and operates the sole regulated gas production and distribution business in Hawaii, as well as a propane sales and distribution business in Hawaii.
The Company owns airport services, airport parking, district energy and gas utility businesses and an interest in a bulk liquid storage terminal business, through the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, MIC Inc. The investments in Macquarie Communications Infrastructure Group, a listed Australian communications fund, South East Water, a water utility company and a business that operates a toll road in the United Kingdom are owned by the Company through separate Delaware limited liability companies.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. 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 of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2006.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005 has been derived from audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
The interim financial information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
Included below are certain significant accounting polices, relating to TGC, which was acquired on June 7, 2006. These policies should be read in conjunction with TGC’s audit report included in Form 8-K/A filed on June 27, 2006.
Regulatory Assets and Liabilities
The regulated utility operations of TGC are subject to regulations with respect to rates, service, maintenance of accounting records, and various other matters by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission, or HPUC. The established accounting policies recognize the financial effects of the ratemaking and accounting practices and policies of the HPUC. Regulated utility operations are subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 71,Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation.SFAS No. 71 requires regulated entities to disclose in their financial statements the authorized recovery of costs associated with regulatory decisions. Accordingly, certain costs that otherwise would normally be charged to expense may, in certain instances, be recorded as an asset in a regulated entity’s balance sheet. TGC records regulatory assets for costs that have been deferred for which future recovery through customer rates has been approved by the HPUC. Regulatory liabilities are recorded when it is probable that revenues will be reduced for amounts that will be credited to the customers through the rate-making process as approved by the HPUC.
- 8 -
TGC continuously monitors the applicability of SFAS No. 71. SFAS No. 71 may, at some future date, be deemed inapplicable because of changes in the regulatory and competitive environments and/or decision by TGC to accelerate deployment of new technologies. If TGC were to discontinue the application of SFAS No. 71, TGC would be required to write off its regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities and would be required to adjust the carrying amount of any other assets, including property, plant and equipment, that would be deemed not recoverable related to these affected operations. TGC believes its regulated operations continue to meet the criteria of SFAS No. 71 and that the carrying value of its regulated property, plant and equipment is recoverable in accordance with established HPUC ratemaking practices.
Revenue Recognition
TGC recognizes revenue when the services are provided. Sales of gas to customers are billed on a monthly cycle basis. Earned but unbilled revenue is accrued for and included in accounts receivable and revenue, based on the amount of gas that is delivered but not billed to customers from the latest meter reading or billed delivery date to the end of an accounting period, and the related costs are charged to expense. Most revenue is based upon consumption, however, certain revenue is based upon a flat rate.
Union Pension Plan
TGC maintains a union pension plan, “Pension Plan for Classified Employees of GASCO, Inc.”, or the Plan, and continues to accrue benefits pursuant to the terms of the applicable collective bargaining agreement. The Plan is non-contributory and covers all union employees who have met certain service and age requirements. The benefits are based on a flat rate per year of service and date of employment termination. Future contributions will be made to meet ERISA funding requirements. The Plan’s trustee, First Hawaiian Bank, handles the Plan’s assets and invests them in a diversified portfolio of equity and fixed-income securities. The projected benefit obligation and the fair value of Plan assets at April 30, 2006 was $27.8 million and $24.0 million, respectively. In addition the discount rate used was 6.25%. Additional information about the Plan is included in the Company’s Form 8-K/A filed on June 27, 2006.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued SFAS No. 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20,Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3,Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements, and provides guidance on the accounting for and reporting of accounting changes and error corrections. SFAS No. 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and requiresretrospective application(a term defined by the statement) to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable to determine the effect of a change. It also applies to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include specific transition provisions. In addition, SFAS No. 154 redefinesrestatementas the revising of previously issued financial statements to reflect the correction of an error. The statement is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company adopted SFAS No. 154 on January 1, 2006 and there was no material impact from this adoption.
In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, or the Interpretation. The Interpretation requires that realization of an uncertain income tax position must be “more likely than not” (i.e., greater than 50% likelihood of receiving a benefit) before it can be recognized in the financial statements. Further, the Interpretation prescribes the benefit to be recorded in the financial statements as the amount most likely to be realized assuming a review by tax authorities having all relevant information and applying current conventions. The Interpretation also clarifies the financial statement classification of tax-related penalties and interest and sets forth new disclosures regarding unrecognized tax benefits. The Interpretation is effective in the first quarter 2007 and the Company plans to adopt the Interpretation when required. The Interpretation is currently being evaluated for its full impact. At this time, the Company believes it has properly and adequately provided for all income tax positions and therefore expects minimal impact from adopting the Interpretation.

4. Earnings Per Share
The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted number of shares used in computing earnings per share:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Quarter Ended June 30, | | | Six Months Ended June 30, | |
| | 2006 | | | 2005 | | | 2006 | | | 2005 | |
Weighted average number of shares of trust stock outstanding: basic | | | 27,062,201 | | | | 26,960,560 | | | | 27,056,505 | | | | 26,786,298 | |
Dilutive effect of restricted stock unit grants | | | 10,815 | | | | 23,600 | | | | 13,330 | | | | 11,865 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Weighted average number of shares of trust stock outstanding: diluted | | | 27,073,016 | | | | 26,984,160 | | | | 27,069,835 | | | | 26,798,163 | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
The effect of potentially dilutive shares is calculated by assuming that the restricted stock unit grants issued to the independent directors had been fully converted to shares on the date of vesting.
5. Acquisitions
The Gas Company
On June 7, 2006, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, completed its acquisition of K-1 HGC Investment, L.L.C. (subsequently renamed Macquarie HGC Investment LLC), which owns HGC Holdings LLC, or HGC, and The Gas Company, LLC, or TGC.
TGC is Hawaii’s only full-service gas-energy company. TGC provides both utility (regulated) and non-utility (unregulated) gas distribution services on the six primary islands in the state of Hawaii. The utility business includes production, distribution and sales of Synthetic Natural Gas, or SNG, on the island of Oahu and distribution and sale of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, or LPG, to customers on all six major Hawaiian islands. This acquisition enabled the Company to enter the gas utility and services business as an established competitor with an existing customer base and corporate infrastructure.
The cost of the acquisition, including working capital adjustments and transaction costs was $267.8 million. In addition, the Company incurred financing costs and integration expenses of approximately $3.4 million and $261,000, respectively. The purchase price was reduced by a working capital adjustment due from the seller of approximately $4.4 million. This amount is recorded as other receivables in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2006. The acquisition was funded with $160.0 million of new subsidiary-level debt, $99.0 million of funds drawn by MIC Inc. under the revolving portion of its acquisition credit facility and the balance was funded with cash.
Macquarie Securities (USA) Inc., or MSUSA, a subsidiary of Macquarie Bank Limited, acted as financial advisor to the Company on the transaction, including the debt financing arrangements, for which it received approximately $5.0 million for fees and expenses (included in the transaction and financing costs discussed above).
The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of TGC are included in the accompanying consolidated condensed income statement since June 7, 2006.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price, including transaction costs, was as follows (in thousands):
| | | | |
Current assets | | $ | 42,297 | |
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements | | | 127,075 | |
Intangible assets: | | | | |
Customer relationships | | | 7,400 | |
Trade name | | | 8,500 | |
Real estate leases | | | 100 | |
Goodwill | | | 120,361 | |
Other assets | | | 3,633 | |
| | | |
Total assets acquired | | | 309,366 | |
Current liabilities | | | 19,867 | |
Deferred income taxes | | | 13,227 | |
Other liabilities | | | 12,948 | |
| | | |
Net assets acquired | | $ | 263,324 | |
| | | |
- 10 -
The Company paid more than the fair value of the underlying net assets as a result of the expectation of its ability to earn a higher rate of return from the acquired business than would be expected if those net assets had to be acquired or developed separately. The value of the acquired intangible assets was determined by taking into account risks related to the characteristics and applications of the assets, existing and future markets and analyses of expected future cash flows to be generated by the business.
The Company allocated $7.4 million of the purchase price to customer relationships in accordance with EITF 02-17,“Recognition of Customer Relationship Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination.”The Company will amortize the amount allocated to customer relationships over a nine-year period.
International-Matex Tank Terminals
On May 1, 2006, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, completed its purchase of newly issued common stock of IMTT Holdings, Inc., formerly known as Loving Enterprises, Inc., for a purchase price of $250.0 million plus approximately $7.0 million in transaction related costs. As a result of the closing of the transaction, the Company owns 50% of IMTT Holdings’ issued and outstanding common stock. The balance of the common stock of IMTT Holdings continues to be held by the shareholders who held 100% of IMTT Holdings’ stock prior to the Company’s acquisition.
IMTT Holdings is the ultimate holding company for a group of companies and partnerships that own International-Matex Tank Terminals, or IMTT. IMTT is the owner and operator of eight bulk liquid storage terminals in the United States and the part owner and operator of two bulk liquid storage terminals in Canada. IMTT is one of the largest companies in the bulk liquid storage terminal industry in the United States, based on capacity.
IMTT Holdings distributed as a dividend $100.0 million of the proceeds from the newly-issued stock, to the shareholders who held 100% of IMTT Holdings’ stock prior to the Company’s acquisition. The remaining $150.0 million, less approximately $5.0 million that was used to pay fees and expenses incurred by IMTT in connection with the transaction, will be used ultimately to finance additional investment in existing and new facilities.
The Company financed the investment and the associated transaction costs with $82.0 million of available cash and $175.0 million of borrowings under the revolving acquisition facility of MIC Inc.
MSUSA acted as financial advisor to the Company on the transaction for which it received fees totaling $4.2 million.
The investment in IMTT has been accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Pro Forma Information
The following unaudited pro forma information summarizes the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 as if the acquisitions of TGC and IMTT had been completed as of January 1, 2006. The pro forma data give effect to actual operating results prior to the acquisitions and adjustments to interest expense, amortization, depreciation and income taxes. No effect has been given to cost reductions or operating synergies in this presentation. These pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been achieved if the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented or that may be achieved in the future.
Pro forma consolidated revenues and net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006, if the acquisitions of TGC and IMTT had occurred on January 1, 2006, would have been $264.1 million and $7.8 million, respectively. Basic and diluted earnings per share would have been $0.29 if such acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2006.

MIC Inc.
On May 9, 2006, MIC Inc. amended its revolving credit facility to increase the revolving portion of the facility by $50.0 million for a total of $300.0 million and to provide for a term loan of $180.0 million to finance the Trajen acquisition, increasing the total amount of borrowings available under this facility to $480.0 million. Refer to Note 16, Subsequent Events, for further discussion on the Trajen acquisition and the borrowings to finance the acquisition which occurred subsequent to June 30, 2006. Amounts borrowed and repaid under the term loan portion of this facility may not be reborrowed. The interest margin under the facility is LIBOR plus 2% or the base rate plus 1%, increasing by 0.50% in six months and again in 12 months, up to a maximum of LIBOR plus 3% or the base rate plus 2%. The current margin on outstanding borrowings is LIBOR plus 2%. Once the term loan borrowings have been repaid in full, the interest rate on the amended acquisition facility will decrease to LIBOR plus 1.25% or the base rate plus 0.25%. The amended acquisition facility requires an annual commitment fee equal to 20% of the applicable LIBOR margin on the average daily undrawn balance (initially 0.40%). The amended acquisition facility also includes the following additional covenants and restrictions:
| • | | a restriction on incurring additional debt at the Company or MIC Inc. level prior to term loan repayment; and |
|
| • | | an increase in the maximum leverage ratio to 6.8x through the end of 2006, declining to 6.1x through March 31, 2008, returning to 5.6x thereafter or upon term loan repayment. |
All other material terms of the amended acquisition facility remain unchanged from the original revolving facility, including the interest coverage ratio covenant. The MIC Inc. acquisition facility will continue to be secured solely by pledges of the equity interests in the direct subsidiaries of the Company and MIC Inc.
The Company expects to repay all of the outstanding borrowings under this facility with the proceeds from an equity capital raising to be concluded at management’s discretion, depending on prevailing market conditions, at any time prior to the maturity of the debt at March 31, 2008.

MSUSA acted as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the increase in the facility for which fees of $575,000 were accrued during the six months ended June 30, 2006. Macquarie Bank Limited, one of the lenders under this facility received fees of $250,000 in connection with the increase in the facility.
On April 28, 2006, MIC Inc. borrowed $175.0 million under its acquisition facility to finance the acquisition of a 50% interest in IMTT Holdings, Inc, of which Macquarie Bank Limited provided $70.0 million. In addition, on June 7, 2006, MIC Inc. borrowed $99.0 million under the same facility to partially finance the acquisition of The Gas Company, of which Macquarie Bank Limited provided $30.0 million.
The Gas Company
The acquisition of TGC was partially financed with $160.0 million of term loans borrowed under two amended and restated loan agreements dated as of June 7, 2006. One of these loan agreements provides for an $80.0 million term loan borrowed by HGC, the parent company of TGC. The other loan agreement provides for an $80.0 million term loan borrowed by TGC and a $20 million revolving credit facility, including a $5 million letter of credit facility. The counterparties to each agreement are Dresdner Bank AG, London Branch, as administrative agent, Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein Limited, as lead arranger, and the other lenders party thereto. TGC generally intends to utilize the $20.0 million revolving credit facility to finance its working capital and to finance or refinance its capital expenditures for regulated assets. As of June 30, 2006, TGC had borrowed $2.0 million under the $20.0 million revolving credit facility. This amount was repaid in July 2006. Additionally, as of June 30, 2006, TGC had $300,000 letters of credit outstanding against this facility.
The obligations under the credit agreements are secured by security interests in the assets of TGC as well as the equity interests of TGC and HGC. The terms and conditions for the facilities includes events of default and representations and warranties that are generally customary for facilities of this type.

(1) may not incur more than $5.0 million of new debt; and
(2) may not sell or dispose of more than $10.0 million of assets per year.
Additionally, the HPUC, in approving the purchase of the business by us, required that HGC and TGC’s consolidated debt to total capital ratio may not exceed 65%.
North America Capital Holding Company, or NACH
Mizuho Corporate Bank, Ltd., The Governor and Company of Bank of Ireland, Bayerische Landesbank, New York Branch and Macquarie Bank Limited provided for a $180.0 million expansion of the NACH debt facility to finance the acquisition of Trajen. The term loan facility, previously $300.0 million due in December 2010, was increased to $480.0 million on terms that are substantially similar to those in place on the existing term loan facility, with the following exceptions: the trailing 12 month minimum earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, increased to $66.9 million in 2006, $71.9 million in 2007 and $77.5 million in 2008 and there is a requirement to hedge 100% of NACH’s interest rate exposure under this facility.

9. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Total comprehensive income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 was $18.0 million and $25.1 million, respectively. These amounts are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2006. The difference between net income of $4.5 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and comprehensive income is primarily attributable to an increase in the fair value of derivatives of $4.3 million, an unrealized gain on marketable securities of $736,000 and foreign currency translation adjustments of $8.5 million. The difference between net income of $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and comprehensive income is primarily attributable to an increase in the fair value of derivatives of $11.0 million, an unrealized gain on marketable securities of $2.7 million and foreign currency translation adjustments of $8.2 million.
10. Stockholders’ Equity
The Trust is authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of trust stock, and the Company is authorized to issue a corresponding number of LLC interests. Unless the Trust is dissolved, it must remain the sole holder of 100% of the Company’s LLC interests and, at all times, the Company will have the identical number of LLC interests outstanding as shares of trust stock. Each share of trust stock represents an undivided beneficial interest in the Trust, and each share of trust stock corresponds to one underlying LLC interest in the Company. Each outstanding share of the trust stock is entitled to one vote for each share on any matter with respect to which members of the Company are entitled to vote.
11. Reportable Segments
The Company’s operations are classified into four reportable business segments: airport services business, airport parking business, district energy and the gas utility business. The gas utility business is a new segment in the quarter ended June 30, 2006, and the results included below are from the date of acquisition on June 7, 2006. All of the business segments are managed separately. During the prior year, the airport services business consisted of two reportable segments, Atlantic and AvPorts. These businesses are currently managed together. Therefore, they are now combined into a single reportable segment. Results for prior periods have been aggregated to reflect the new combined segment.
The airport services business reportable segment principally derives income from fuel sales and from airport services. Airport services revenue includes fuel related services, de-icing, aircraft parking, airport management and other aviation services. All of the revenue of the airport services business is derived in the United States. The airport services business operated 18 fixed base operations, or FBOs, and one heliport and managed six airports under management contracts as of June 30, 2006.
- 15 -
The revenue from the airport parking business reportable segment is included in service revenue and primarily consists of fees from off-airport parking and ground transportation to and from the parking facilities and the airport terminals. At June 30, 2006, the airport parking business operated 30 off-airport parking facilities located in California, Arizona, Colorado, Texas, Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma and Illinois.
The revenue from the district energy business reportable segment is included in service revenue and financing and equipment lease income. Included in service revenue is capacity charge revenue, which relates to monthly fixed contract charges, and consumption revenue, which relates to contractual rates applied to actual usage. Financing and equipment lease income relates to direct financing lease transactions and equipment leases to the Company’s various customers. The Company provides such services to buildings throughout the downtown Chicago area and to the Aladdin Resort and Casino and shopping mall located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The revenue from the gas utility business reportable segment is included in revenue from product sales and includes distribution and sales of SNG and LPG. Revenue is primarily a function of the volume of SNG and LPG consumed by customers and the price per thermal unit or gallon charged to customers. Because both SNG and LPG are derived from petroleum, revenue levels, without organic operating growth, will generally track global oil prices. TGC’s revenue includes fuel adjustment charges, or FACs, through which changes in fuel costs generally are passed through to customers.
Selected information by reportable segment is presented in the following tables (in thousands):
Revenue from external customers for the Company’s segments for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 are as follows:

Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement (discussed below), MIMUSA may sell up to 65% of these shares at any time and may sell the balance at any time from and after December 21, 2007 (the third anniversary of the IPO closing).
The Company entered into a management services agreement, or Management Agreement, with MIMUSA dated December 21, 2004 pursuant to which MIMUSA manages the Company’s day-to-day operations and oversees the management teams of the Company’s operating businesses. In addition, MIMUSA has seconded a Chief Executive Officer and a Chief Financial Officer to the Company and makes other personnel available as required.
In accordance with the Management Agreement, MIMUSA is entitled to a quarterly base management fee based primarily on the Trust’s market capitalization and a performance fee, as defined, based on the performance of the trust stock relative to a weighted average of two benchmark indices, a U.S. utilities index and a European utilities index, weighted in proportion to the Company’s equity investments. For the quarter ended June 30, 2006, base management fees of $3.7 million were payable to MIMUSA and are included as due to manager in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, base management fees totaled $6.1 million and performance fees totaled $4.1 million.

MIMUSA elected to reinvest these fees in 145,547 shares of trust stock, which were issued on June 27, 2006 at a volume weighted average price determined over a 15 trading day period in June 2006.
MIMUSA is not entitled to any other compensation and all costs incurred by MIMUSA including compensation of seconded staff, are paid out of its management fee. However, the Company is responsible for other direct costs including, but not limited to, expenses
incurred in the administration or management of the Company and its subsidiaries and investments, income taxes, audit and legal fees, and acquisitions and dispositions and its compliance with applicable laws and regulations.

13. Income Taxes
Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust is classified as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and therefore is not subject to income taxes. The Company is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is also not subject to income taxes. MIC Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are subject to income taxes.
Consolidated pre-tax profit for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $1.1 million. Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC accounted for $4.9 million of total pre-tax income. As a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, this income is not subject to income taxes.
The remaining $3.8 million of pre-tax loss was generated by MIC Inc. and its subsidiaries and is subject to income taxes. The Company records its income taxes in accordance with SFAS 109,Accounting for Income Taxes.
The Company expects to incur a net operating loss for federal consolidated return purposes, as well as certain states that provide for consolidated returns, for the year ended December 31, 2006. The Company believes that it will be able to utilize the projected federal and state consolidated 2006 and prior year losses. Accordingly, the Company has not provided a valuation allowance against any deferred tax assets generated in 2006.
In May 2006, Texas revised its franchise tax law. The Company expects that the change in the law will reduce its future Texas Franchise Tax obligations by approximately $720,000, with a corresponding increase in future federal tax liabilities of approximately $252,000. Accordingly, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 the Company has recognized an approximate $468,000 decrease in its deferred tax liabilities.
For the 2006 year, the Company projects a net loss before taxes at the MIC Inc. level, for which it expects to record an income tax benefit. The Company also projects deriving net income before taxes outside MIC Inc. that will not be subject to income taxes. This income derived from outside MIC Inc. is projected to be mostly offset by the pre-tax loss at the MIC Inc. level, resulting in projected pre-tax income on a consolidated basis.

The following information supplements the information described in Note 21 to the consolidated financials statements included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Toll Road Business
On March 20, 2004, a fatal road accident occurred on Yorkshire Link that was the focus of an investigation by local police authorities. Based on conversations with these authorities, the Company understands that the police are no longer pursuing their investigation into Connect M1-A1 Limited.
South East Water
Saur International had been engaged by South East Water, or SEW, then owned by Saur UK and part of the Bouygues Group, to develop and implement a new billing system for SEW. Following extended delays and technical problems with the software, SEW notified Saur International of its intention to terminate the project and in March 2005, SEW initiated a claim against Saur International through arbitration to recover amounts paid to Saur International and thereafter Saur International counterclaimed. In May, 2006, the parties reached a confidential settlement, the terms of which will not have a material effect on SEW.
15. Distributions
On March 14, 2006, the board of directors declared a distribution of $0.50 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, which was paid on April 10, 2006 to holders of record on April 5, 2006. On May 4, 2006, the board of directors declared a distribution of $0.50 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 which was paid on June 9, 2006 to holders of record on June 5, 2006.

Acquisitions
Trajen
On July 11, 2006, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, NACH, completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Trajen Holdings, Inc., or Trajen. Trajen is the holding company for a group of companies, limited liability companies and limited partnerships that own and operate 23 FBOs at airports in 11 states.
Total cash payment for the acquisition was $363.0 million, including transaction costs of $10.7 million, debt service reserve of $6.6 million and pre-funding for capital expenditures and integration costs of $5.9 million. The results of the business will be reported as components of the Company’s airport services business segment from the third quarter of 2006.
The Company financed the purchase price and the associated transaction and other costs with $180.0 million of borrowings under an expansion of the credit facility at NACH, $180.0 million of additional borrowings under the acquisition credit facility of MIC Inc. and $3.0 million of available cash. Refer to Note 8, Long-Term Debt, for further details of the additional term loan facility and amendment to the revolving acquisition facility.
Macquarie Bank Limited underwrote $40.0 million and ultimately provided $15.0 million of the $180.0 million expansion of the credit facility at NACH, for which NACH paid approximately $307,000 in financing fees, which are included within transaction costs disclosed above.
MSUSA acted as financial advisor to the Company on the transaction, as well as on the financing of the transaction. Total fees of approximately $6.2 million were paid for these services and are included within transaction costs disclosed above.
Refinancing of Airport Parking Debt
On August 8, 2006, the airport parking business received commitment from Capmark Finance, Inc. to refinance the two existing facilities with them, with outstanding debt of $125.5 million and $58.7 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2006, into a single facility.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
We own, operate and invest in a diversified group of infrastructure businesses, which are businesses that provide basic, everyday services, such as parking, gas distribution and water, through long-life physical assets. These infrastructure businesses generally operate in sectors with limited competition and high barriers to entry. As a result, they have sustainable and growing long-term cash flows. We operate and finance our businesses in a manner that maximizes these cash flows.
We are dependent upon cash distributions from our businesses and investments to meet our corporate overhead and management fee expenses and to pay distributions. We receive distributions through our directly owned holding company Macquarie Infrastructure Company Inc., or MIC Inc., for all of our businesses based in the United States. We receive interest and principal on our subordinated loans to, and dividends from, our toll road business and dividends from our investments in Macquarie Communications Infrastructure Group, or MCG, and South East Water, or SEW, through directly owned holding companies that we have formed to hold our interest in each business and investment.
Distributions received from our businesses and investments net of taxes, are available first to meet management fees and corporate overhead expenses then to fund distribution payments by the Company to the Trust for payment to holders of trust stock. Base and performance management fees payable to our Manager are allocated among the Company and the directly owned subsidiaries based on the Company’s internal allocation policy.
On May 4, 2006, the Company’s board of directors declared a distribution of $0.50 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 which was paid on June 9, 2006 to holders of record on June 5, 2006.
On August 7, 2006, the Company’s board of directors declared a distribution of $0.525 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 payable on September 11, 2006 to holders of record on September 6, 2006. This is an increase of 5% from previous quarterly distributions.
Refer to “Other Matters” at the end of this Item 2 for discussion of forward looking statements and certain defined terms.
Tax Treatment of Distributions
We currently estimate that in 2006, 26% of our distributions to the holders of our trust stock from our wholly-owned subsidiary, MIC Inc. are likely to be treated as qualified dividend income for US federal income tax purposes, with the balance treated as a return of capital. Distributions to holders of our trust stock that are treated as return of capital for US federal income tax purposes are generally not taxable in the hands of holders to the extent that the total amount of such distributions received does not exceed the holders’ tax basis in the trust stock. Instead such distributions that are not in excess of the holders’ tax basis in the trust stock will reduce such holders’ tax basis in the trust stock resulting in more capital gain or less capital loss upon ultimate disposal of the trust stock. We currently estimate that distributions from MIC Inc., net of allocated expenses, will be between $37.0 million and $42.0 million in 2006, representing from 65% to 70% of the total distributions expected to be received by the company from our businesses and investments in calendar year 2006.
Beyond 2006, the portion of our distributions that will be treated as dividends or return of capital for US federal income tax purposes is subject to a number of uncertainties. We currently anticipate that substantially all of the portion of our regular distributions that are treated as dividends for US federal income tax purposes should be characterized as qualified dividend income.
Recent Acquisitions
See Note 5, Acquisitions, and Note 16, Subsequent Events, to the consolidated condensed financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Form
10-Q for further information on recent acquisitions and the financing related to these acquisitions which is incorporated herein by reference.
IMTT
On May 1, 2006, we completed the purchase of newly issued common stock of IMTT Holdings Inc., formerly known as Loving Enterprises, Inc., the holding company for a group of companies and partnerships that own International-Matex Tank Terminals, or IMTT. As a result of this transaction, we own 50% of IMTT Holdings’ issued and outstanding common stock. The Company has entered into, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, a Shareholders’ Agreement, or SHA, that provides, among other things, that minimum quarterly distributions of $14.0 million be paid to shareholders of IMTT Holdings ($7.0 million to us) beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2006 through the quarter ending December 31, 2007. The minimum quarterly distribution may be reduced or eliminated in the event that the Board of IMTT Holdings determines that such distribution would result in IMTT Holdings having insufficient reserves with which to meet normal operating expenses and previously approved capital expenditures, or otherwise failing to comply with financing agreements and applicable law.
- 25 -
Our interest in IMTT Holdings, from the date of closing our acquisition, May 1, 2006, is reflected in our equity in earnings and amortization charges of investee line in our financial statements. At June 30, 2006, we have also recorded a $7.0 million receivable in connection with the expected receipt of our share of the cash distribution for the second quarter of 2006 which was received on July 26, 2006.
The key drivers of IMTT’s revenue and gross profit are the amount of tank capacity rented to customers and the rates at which such tankage is rented. Customers generally rent tanks under contracts with terms of between one and five years. Pursuant to these contracts, customers generally pay for the capacity of the tank irrespective of whether the tank is actually used. The key driver of storage capacity utilization and tank rental rates is the demand for tankage relative to the supply of tankage in a particular region (e.g. New York Harbor, Lower Mississippi River). Demand for tankage is primarily a function of the level of consumption of the bulk liquid products stored by the terminals and to a lesser extent the level of imports of such products into the United States. Demand for petroleum and liquid chemical and agricultural products, the key products stored by IMTT, historically has generally been driven by the level of economic growth. Major increases in the supply of new tank capacity in IMTT’s key markets has been and is expected to continue to be limited by the availability of waterfront land with access to the necessary land based infrastructure (road, rail and pipelines), lengthy environmental and building permitting processes and high capital costs. Favorable supply/demand balances for bulk liquid storage currently exist in the markets serviced by IMTT’s major facilities. These factors, when combined with the attributes of IMTT’s facilities such as deep water drafts and access to land based infrastructure have resulted in available storage capacity at IMTT’s terminals for both petroleum, chemical and agricultural products being consistently fully, or near fully, rented to customers.
IMTT earns revenues at its terminals from a number of sources including storage of bulk liquids (per barrel, per month rental), throughput of liquids (handling charges), heating (a pass through of the cost associated with heating liquids to prevent viscosity) and other (revenue from blending, packaging and warehousing, for example). The key elements of revenue generally increase annually on the basis of inflation escalation provisions in customer contracts.
In operating its terminals, IMTT incurs labor costs, fuel costs, repair and maintenance costs, real and personal property taxes and other costs (which include insurance and other operating costs such as utilities and inventory used in packaging and drumming activities).
In 2005, IMTT generated approximately 53% of its total terminal revenue and 45% of its total terminal gross profit at its Bayonne, NJ facility, which services New York Harbor, and 32% of its total terminal revenue and 47% of its total terminal gross profit at its St. Rose, LA, Gretna, LA and Avondale, LA facilities which together service the lower Mississippi River region (with St. Rose being the largest contributor).
There are two key factors that are likely to materially impact IMTT’s total terminal revenue and total terminal gross profit in the future. First, IMTT has achieved substantial increases in storage rates at its Bayonne and St. Rose facilities as customer contracts expiring in 2005 and early 2006 have been renewed. In addition, some customers of IMTT have been extending contracts that do not expire until late 2006 and 2007 at rates above the existing rates under such contracts. As a consequence, based on the current level of demand for bulk liquid storage in New York Harbor and the Lower Mississippi River, it is anticipated that IMTT will achieve annual increases in terminal revenues-storage in excess of inflation at least through 2008.
Second, over the course of 2006 and 2007, IMTT intends to undertake significant expansion capital expenditure which is expected to contribute significantly to total terminal gross profit in 2008 and beyond. IMTT is currently constructing a bulk liquid chemical storage and handling facility on the Mississippi River at Geismar, LA. To date, IMTT has committed approximately $134.0 million of expansion capital expenditure to the project. Based on the current project scope and subject to certain minimum volumes of chemical products being handled by the facility, existing customer contracts will provide for a return of, and return on, the expansion capital by generating terminal gross profit and EBITDA of approximately $18.8 million per year. Completion of construction of the initial $134.0 million phase of the GLC project is targeted for the end of 2007. In the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, construction costs in the region affected by the hurricane have increased and labor shortages have been experienced. This is expected to have a negative impact on the cost of constructing the GLC (which may not be offset by an increase in gross profit and EBITDA contribution) and may also have a negative impact on the construction schedule. In addition, IMTT is currently in the process of constructing twelve new storage tanks with a total capacity of approximately 1.2 million barrels at its Louisiana facilities at a total estimated cost of $29.0 million. It is anticipated that construction of these tanks will be completed from late 2006 through mid 2007. Rental contracts with initial terms of at least three years have already been executed in relation to nine of these tanks with the balance of the tanks to be used to service customers while their existing tanks are undergoing maintenance over the next five years. Overall, it is anticipated that the operation of the new tanks will contribute approximately $4.9 million to IMTT’s terminal gross profit and EBITDA annually.

Gas Utility Business
On June 7, 2006, we completed our acquisition of K-1 HGC Investment, L.L.C. (subsequently renamed Macquarie HGC Investment LLC), which owns HGC Holdings LLC, and The Gas Company, LLC, or TGC. TGC is a Hawaii limited liability company which owns and operates the sole regulated gas production and distribution business in Hawaii as well as a propane sales and distribution business in Hawaii.
Founded in 1904, TGC is Hawaii’s only full-service gas-energy company. TGC provides both utility (regulated) and non-utility (unregulated) gas distribution services on the six primary islands in the state of Hawaii. The utility business includes production, distribution and sales of Synthetic Natural Gas, or SNG, on the island of Oahu and distribution and sale of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, or LPG, to customers on all six major Hawaiian islands. Utility revenue consists principally of sales of thermal units, or therms, of SNG and gallons of LPG. One gallon of LPG is the equivalent of 0.913 therms. The operating costs for the utility business include the cost of locally purchased feedstock, the cost of manufacturing SNG from the feedstock, LPG purchase costs and the cost of distributing SNG and LPG to customers. The non-utility business comprises the sale of LPG, through truck deliveries to individual tanks located on customer sites on all six major islands. Non-utility revenue consists of sales of LPG. The operating costs for the non-utility business include the cost of purchased LPG and the cost of distributing the LPG to customers.
Revenue is primarily a function of the volume of SNG and LPG consumed by customers and the price per thermal unit or gallon charged to customers. Because both SNG and LPG are derived from petroleum, revenue levels, without organic operating growth, will generally track global oil prices. TGC’s revenue includes fuel adjustment charges, or FACs, through which changes in fuel costs generally are passed through to customers. As a result, the key measure of the performance of this business is gross profit.
Volume is primarily driven by demographic and economic growth in the state of Hawaii and by shifts of end users to gas from other energy sources and competitors. The Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism has forecast population and gross state product growth for the state of 1.1% and 2.2%, respectively, through 2010.
Prices charged by TGC to its customers for the utility gas business are based on HPUC regulated rates that allow TGC the opportunity to recover the costs of providing utility gas service, including operating expenses, taxes, a return of capital investments through recovery of depreciation and a return on the capital invested. TGC’s rate structure generally allows us to maintain a relatively consistent dollar-based margin per thermal unit by passing increases or decreases in fuel costs to TGC’s utility customers through the FAC. The rates that are charged to non-utility customers are set based on production and delivery costs, and on the cost of fuel and competitive factors.
We incur expenses in operating and maintaining our facilities and distribution network. The costs of supporting these assets are generally fixed in nature. Other operating expenses incurred, such as LPG, feedstock for the SNG plant and revenue-based taxes, vary based on the volume of product sold. In addition, we incur general and administrative expenses at our executive office that include expenses for senior management, accounting, information technology, human resources, environmental compliance, regulatory compliance, employee benefits, rents, utilities, insurance and other normal business costs.
As part of the regulatory approval process of our acquisition of TGC, we agreed to 14 regulatory conditions addressing a variety of matters. The material conditions include:
| • | | the inability to recover our transaction or transition costs in future rate cases; |
|
| • | | the inability of TGC to file for a new rate case with a prospective test year commencing prior to 2009; |
|
| • | | a requirement to limit TGC and HGC’s ratio of consolidated debt to total capital to 65%; |
|
| • | | a requirement to maintain $20.0 million in readily available cash resources at TGC, HGC or the company; |
|
| • | | a requirement that TGC revise its Fuel Adjustment Clause to reconcile monthly charges to corresponding actually incurred fuel expenses; and |
|
| • | | a requirement that TGC provide a $4.1 million customer appreciation credit to its gas customers. |
Results of operations of our gas utility business are included in our quarterly results for the second quarter of 2006 from June 7, 2006.
Trajen
On July 11, 2006, through our wholly-owned subsidiary North America Capital Holdings Company, or NACH, we completed the purchase of 100% of the shares of Trajen Holdings, Inc., or Trajen, from a number of partnerships managed by Capstreet, a private equity firm headquartered in Houston, TX and other entities and individuals.
Trajen is the holding company for a group of companies, limited liability companies and limited partnerships that own and operate 23 fixed base operations, or FBOs, at airports in 11 states. The Trajen business will be integrated with and become a part of our airport services business and operate as Atlantic Aviation, or Atlantic.
With the acquisition, our airport services business owns and operates a network of 42 FBOs in the United States, the second largest such network in the industry. FBOs provide fuel and fuel related services primarily to the general aviation segment of the air transportation industry with a particular focus on corporate and individually owned jet aircraft.
- 27 -
Results of the operations of Trajen will be included in our quarterly results for the third quarter of 2006 from the date of acquisition, as a component of our airport services segment.
Recent Developments In Our District Energy Business
On August 31, 2005, ComEd filed a rate case with the Illinois Commerce Commission, or ICC, seeking, among other things, to increase delivery rates in a manner that would disproportionately impact larger users of electricity. In December 2005, we joined a consortium of large users to challenge ComEd’s rate increase. If the rate case were approved as ComEd had proposed, the electricity distribution costs for our district energy business would have increased by an estimated $2.0 million annually. On July 26, 2006, the ICC issued its Final Order, which substantially reduced ComEd’s proposed rate increase. Based on the terms of the Final Order, we estimate that the distribution component of our electricity costs would increase by a nominal amount annually, starting in 2007. The Order, however, is subject to rehearing by the ICC and judicial review. ComEd has announced that it will seek rehearing of its case. Therefore, we cannot assure you that our electricity distribution costs will not increase in 2007 beyond the nominal amount estimated based on the ICC’s recent Final Order.

Gross Profit
The increase in our consolidated gross profit was due primarily to the acquisitions of the Las Vegas FBO in the third quarter of 2005, six off-airport parking facilities (collectively referred to as “SunPark”) during the second half of 2005 and TGC on June 7, 2006. Additionally, higher average dollar per gallon fuel margins combined with stable fuel volumes at existing locations in our airport services business and higher average revenue per car out in our airport parking business contributed to increases in gross profit.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
The most significant factors in the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses were:
| • | | $1.8 million additional costs from our TGC acquisition not reflected in 2005 results; |
|
| • | | additional costs at our parking business’s corporate office primarily to support a larger organization resulting from growth in number of locations; |
|
| • | | additional compensation expense related to stock appreciation rights issued during 2006; and |
|
| • | | additional corporate selling, general and administrative costs of $1.1 million due primarily to costs of approximately $461,000 related to an unsuccessful acquisition bid as well as residual Sarbanes-Oxley costs. |
Additionally, the management fee paid to our Manager increased due to $4.1 million in performance fees in 2006 compared to none in 2005, as well as a $1.9 million increase in the base fee due primarily to our increased investments.

Other Income (Expense)
Our dividend income in 2006 consists of a dividend declared by and received from SEW in the first quarter and a dividend declared by MCG in the second quarter. The comparable SEW dividend from 2005, which was higher than the SEW dividend received in 2006, was both declared and received in the second quarter.
Interest income increased primarily as a result of higher interest rates on invested cash in 2006. Interest expense increased due mostly to a higher level of debt in 2006.
Our equity in the earnings (loss) on our Yorkshire Link investment increased, primarily due to a gain from changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps that Yorkshire records in the income statement, compared with a loss recorded in the second quarter of 2005.
The decrease in other expense was due primarily to advisory fees incurred in 2005 related to our acquisition of two FBOs in California.
Income Taxes
The Company recorded a pre-tax loss in the first six months of 2005. However, as the Company was recently formed with no operating history, it recorded a full valuation allowance on the benefits of the pre-tax loss incurred. Therefore, the Company recorded no income tax benefit in the first six months of 2005.
For the 2006 year, the Company projects a net loss before taxes at the MIC Inc. level, for which it expects to record an income tax benefit. The Company also projects deriving net income before taxes outside MIC Inc. that will not be subject to income tax payable by the Company. This income derived from outside MIC Inc. is projected to be mostly offset by the pre-tax loss at the MIC Inc. level, resulting in projected pre-tax income on a consolidated basis.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, or EBITDA
We have included EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, on both a consolidated basis as well as for each segment as we consider it to be an important measure of our overall performance. We believe EBITDA provides additional insight into the performance of our operating companies and our ability to service our obligations and support our ongoing dividend policy.

BUSINESS SEGMENT OPERATIONS
Airport Services Business
In the prior year, the airport services business consisted of two reportable segments, Atlantic and AvPorts (referred to as NACH and MANA, respectively, in the below tables). These businesses have been integrated and are now managed together. Therefore, they are now combined into a single reportable segment. Results for prior periods have been restated to reflect the new combined segment.
The following section summarizes the historical consolidated financial performance of our airport services business for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006. Information relating to existing locations in 2006 represents the results of our airport services business excluding the results of our FBO in Las Vegas, or EAR. The EAR acquisition column below and total 2006 quarter and six month results include operating results of EAR which was acquired on August 12, 2005.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
| • | | contribution of positive operating results from EAR, an FBO in Las Vegas which we acquired in the third quarter of 2005; |
|
| • | | higher dollar per gallon fuel margins at existing locations and unchanged fuel volumes; |
|
| • | | higher selling, general and administrative costs primarily relating to non-cash and accrued compensation expense and increased credit card fees based on higher revenues; and |
|
| • | | higher interest costs from higher debt levels resulting from the refinancing in December 2005. |

Revenue and Gross Profit
Most of the revenue and gross profit in our airport services business is generated through fueling general aviation aircraft at our 19 fixed base operations around the United States. This revenue is categorized according to who owns the fuel we use to service these aircraft. If we own the fuel, we record our cost to purchase that fuel as cost of revenue-fuel. Our corresponding fuel revenue is our cost to purchase that fuel plus a margin. We generally pursue a strategy of maintaining, and where appropriate increasing, dollar margins, thereby passing any increase in fuel prices to the customer. We also have into-plane arrangements whereby we fuel aircraft with fuel owned by another party. We collect a fee for this service that is recorded as non-fuel revenue. Other non-fuel revenue includes various services such as hangar rentals, de-icing and airport services. Cost of revenue–non-fuel includes our cost, if any, to provide these services.
The key factors for our revenue and gross profit are fuel volume and dollar margin per gallon. This applies to both fuel and into-plane revenue. Our customers will occasionally move from one category to the other. Therefore, we believe discussing our fuel and non-fuel revenue and gross profit and the related key metrics on a combined basis provides a more meaningful analysis of our airport services business.
Our total revenue and gross profit growth was due to several factors:
| • | | inclusion of the results of EAR in the full quarter and six months of 2006; |
|
| • | | rising cost of fuel, which we generally pass on to customers; and |
|
| • | | an increase in average dollar per gallon fuel margins at existing locations, resulting largely from a higher proportion of transient customers, which generally pay higher margins, partially offset by reduced de-icing activity in the first quarter of 2006 compared to 2005 due to milder weather in the northeast US. |
Our operations at New Orleans, LA and Gulfport, MS were impacted by hurricane Katrina. Some of our hangar and terminal facilities were damaged. However, our results for the quarter and six month period were not significantly affected by this or any other hurricane. We believe that we have an appropriate level of insurance coverage to repair or rebuild our facilities and to cover us for any business interruption we experience in the near term. We anticipate that combined traffic at these facilities in 2006 may be lower than in 2005 as travel to New Orleans and Gulfport has slowed. However, we believe that this will not have a significant effect on our results overall in 2006 and thereafter.
Operating Expenses
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the existing locations is due to:
| • | | additional office costs resulting from higher rent and utility costs; |
|
| • | | additional credit card fees related to increased fuel revenue; and |
|
| • | | increased compensation expense largely due to issuance of Stock Appreciation Rights in the first quarter of 2006. |
The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily due to the addition of the Las Vegas FBO.
Interest Expense, Net
The increase in interest expense is due to the increased debt level associated with the debt refinancing, a non-cash interest charge relating to our interest rate swap and non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs. In December 2005, we refinanced two existing debt facilities with a single debt facility, increasing outstanding borrowings by $103.5 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2006, we increased borrowings under this facility to finance our acquisition of Trajen. See Note 16, Subsequent Events, to our consolidated condensed financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Form 10-Q for further information relating to this acquisition which is incorporated herein by reference.
EBITDA
The increase in EBITDA from existing locations is due to:
| • | | increased average dollar per gallon fuel margins; and |
|
| • | | lower other expense due to transaction costs incurred in 2005 relating to our acquisition of two FBOs in California; |
|
| • | | partially offset by lower de-icing revenues in the first quarter; and |
|
| • | | higher selling, general and administrative costs, predominantly related to non-cash or accrued compensation expenses, utilities and credit card fees. |

Airport Parking Business
In the following discussion, new locations refer to locations in operation during the quarter or six-month period ended June 2006, but not in operation throughout the comparable period in 2005. Comparable locations refer to locations in operation throughout the quarter or six-month period ended June 2005 and 2006.
We had eight new locations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006. The new locations included:
| • | | the SunPark facilities acquired in October 2005 located in Houston, Oklahoma City, St. Louis, Buffalo, Philadelphia and Columbus; |
|
| • | | the Priority facility acquired in July 2005 located in Philadelphia; and |
|
| • | | the First Choice facility acquired in October 2005 located in Cleveland. |
During the first quarter of 2006, we consolidated two adjacent facilities in Philadelphia. As part of this consolidation, our Avistar Philadelphia facility was effectively closed and its capacity made available to the SunPark Philadelphia facility. We consider the consolidated operation to be a new location for the first quarter of 2006. Accordingly, the stand alone results for Avistar Philadelphia for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2006 have been excluded from comparable locations and included in new locations. The financial and operating results reported for new locations in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 is for Philadelphia Avistar only.
We had 22 comparable locations for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, including 19 locations that were comparable in 2005 (excluding Avistar Philadelphia) and facilities in St. Louis, Newark (Haynes Avenue) and Oakland (Pardee) that were new locations in 2005.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
Key factors influencing operating results were as follows:
| • | | contribution from new locations; |
|
| • | | price increases and reduced discounting in selected markets contributed to the 13.8% increase in average revenue per car out for comparable locations during the quarter; |
|
| • | | marketing efforts targeted at customers with a longer average stay increased average overnight occupancy by 6.7% for comparable locations during the quarter; |
|
| • | | improved operating margins at comparable locations; and |
|
| • | | cash settlement received, related to a 2003 acquisition, included in other income. |

Revenue
Revenue increased due to the addition of eight new locations during the quarter and an increase in average revenue per car out at comparable locations.
New locations represent 26% of our portfolio by number of locations and contributed 23% of total revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. We believe the contribution from these facilities will continue to grow as customers are exposed to our branding, marketing and service.
- 37 -
The lower average revenue per car at new locations in the quarter ended June 30, 2006 reflects the acquisition of new locations in lower-priced markets compared to the relatively higher-priced Avistar Philadelphia market.
The decrease in cars out at comparable locations reflects a continued strategic shift away from daily parkers and a greater marketing emphasis on attracting leisure travelers during the quarter. Daily parkers, typically airport employees, contribute to a higher number of cars out but pay discounted rates. Leisure travelers tend to have longer average stays.
Average revenue per car out increased at our comparable locations primarily due to implementation of our yield management strategy, including price increases and reduced discounting in selected markets and our marketing program. Specifically, we launched a new marketing program in April, inviting customers to pay the undiscounted “rac rate” and receive a voucher for a complimentary companion airline ticket that can be redeemed from a third party provider. The response to this program has been strong and we intend to continue this program at least through to the end of 2006.
Average overnight occupancies at comparable locations were driven by a relatively larger proportion of customers with a longer average stay in the first six months of 2006. Typically, leisure travelers have a higher average number of days per visit than business travelers.
Our airport parking business as a whole has sufficient capacity to accommodate further growth. At locations where we are operating at peak capacity intra-day, we continue to evaluate and implement strategies to expand capacity of these locations, including the use of additional overflow facilities and car lifts. For example, during the first six months of 2006 we recovered additional capacity from a sub-tenant, operated vehicle lifts and, during peak periods, offered customers valet service at self park facilities.
Direct Expenses
Direct expenses for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 increased due primarily to additional costs associated with operating eight new locations. Direct expenses at comparable locations were also affected by higher real estate, fuel and advertising costs offset by lower insurance costs.
We intend to continue pursuing costs savings through standardization of staff scheduling to minimize overtime and implementation of a new bulk fuel purchase program that was signed in June 2006.
We note that direct expenses include rent in excess of lease, a non-cash item, in the amount of $561,000 and $510,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $1.1 million and $1.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the quarter and six month period increased due primarily to payroll costs associated with the expansion of the management team to support additional locations and the retirement of two members of senior management from the business.
Amortization of Intangibles
Amortization for the quarter decreased due largely to the elimination of amortization of non-compete agreements that expired in December 2005, partially offset by an increase in the fair value of the assets acquired in the fourth quarter 2005.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense in the quarter and six month period increased due to the additional interest and finance cost amortization associated with the new debt raised to finance the 2005 acquisitions and higher LIBOR rates.
Our two primary borrowings are subject to interest rate hedges which effectively cap our interest rate when the 30-day LIBOR rate is 4.5%. In March 2006 the LIBOR rate exceeded the cap rate and interest cap payments totaling $232,000 and $266,000 were realized during the second quarter and first six months of 2006, respectively. This amount was recorded as a reduction in interest expense.
EBITDA
EBITDA increased in the quarter and six month period largely as a result of the 2005 acquisitions, improved profit margins and proceeds from a settlement related to a 2003 acquisition. Net proceeds from the settlement totaled $417,000 and were recorded in other income in the second quarter. The increase in profit margins at our new locations reflects the acquisition of locations predominantly on owned land compared to the leased location at Avistar Philadelphia.

Gross Profit
Gross profit increased primarily due to annual inflation-related increases of contract capacity rates and scheduled increases in contract consumption rates in accordance with the terms of existing customer contracts, offsetting lower ton-hour sales from cooler weather and higher electric costs related to signing new energy supply contracts at three of our plants. Other revenue increased due to our pass-through to customers of the higher cost of natural gas consumables, which are included in other direct expenses.
Gross profit in the second quarter also increased due to the earlier timing of pre-season maintenance expense for system reliability. A higher percentage of our pre-season maintenance was conducted in the first quarter of 2006 than was conducted in the first quarter of 2005. As a result, we incurred lower maintenance expenditures in the second quarter of 2006, which offset the higher maintenance expenditures incurred during the first quarter.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expense increased primarily due to higher legal and third party consulting fees related to strategy work in preparation for the pending 2007 deregulation of Illinois’ electricity market offset by the effects of adopting a new long-term incentive plan for management employees that required a net reduction in the liability previously accrued under the former plan.
Interest Expense, Net
The decrease in net interest expense was due to higher interest income from the general increase in bank interest rates. Our interest rate on our senior debt is a fixed rate.
Other Income
The decrease in other income was due to a gain in 2005 related to a minority investor’s share of a settlement providing for the early release of escrow established with the Aladdin bankruptcy.
EBITDA
EBITDA increased primarily due to the annual increases in contract capacity and consumption rates offsetting lower ton-hour sales from cooler weather and higher selling, general and administrative expenses.
Gas Utility Business
We acquired TGC on June 7, 2006. Accordingly, our consolidated operating results only reflect the results of operations of TGC for the 24-day period of June 7, 2006 though June 30, 2006. For this 24 day period revenue was $10.6 million, gross profit was $4.2 million and income before taxes was $312,000. Income before taxes excludes a gain of $6.0 million recognized by TGC relating to swaps transferred to TGC by us. This gain was eliminated on consolidation at the MIC level.
Because TGC’s results of operations are only included in our financial results for a short period of 2006, the following analysis compares the historical results of operations for TGC under its current and prior owner. We believe that this is a more appropriate approach to explaining the historical financial performance and trends of TGC than discussing the composition of the 24 day period that is included in our results. The following table compares the historical financial performance of TGC for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 (including the period owned by us) to the comparable 2005 periods.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
| • | | Therms sold in each of the utility and non-utility sectors increased, mostly resulting from organic growth in the business; |
|
| • | | Cost per therms increased by 24% due principally to higher petroleum costs that are generally recoverable in billing rates; and |
|
| • | | Gross profit per therm increased 6% for the utility and 8% for the non-utility operations due to lower losses of gas while the product is in pipelines and increased revenue taxes (which benefit gross profit since the revenue-based taxes are included in revenue but the related and offsetting expense is included below the gross profit line, in operating costs). |

NM – Not meaningful |
|
(1) | | Gain on transfer of swaps of $6.0 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, has been excluded from income before taxes in the above table, since this amount was eliminated on consolidation at the MIC level in the second quarter of 2006. |
Gross Profit
The key factors generating gross profit are volume of SNG and LPG sold and dollar-based margin per therm. TGC’s gross profit growth was due primarily to the following factors:
| • | | Therms sold in the utility sector increased 2% and 1% for the quarter and six month periods, respectively, while therms sold in the non-utility sector increased 4% and 1% for the quarter and six month periods, respectively. This overall increase in therms sold included the benefit of a 1% increase in the number of customers that TGC serves. |
|
| • | | Gross profit per therm for the utility operation decreased 4% for the second quarter due to timing of periodic revenue billing adjustments in 2006 as compared to the timing of 2005 billing adjustments, partially offset by lower product losses during pipeline distribution. Utility gross profit increased 6% for the six month period due primarily to lower product losses during pipeline distribution. |
- 41 -
| • | | Gross profit per therm for the non-utility operations increased 25% and 8%, respectively, for both the quarter and six month periods due to the pro-rata accrual of a contract revenue adjustment in 2006 and lower propane inventory losses. |
The combination of the factors cited above, plus the recovery of revenue taxes, resulted in the overall increase in gross profit. This is a function of maintaining relatively consistent per therm margins on an increased therm sales volume.
Operating Expenses
Production costs and transmission and distributions costs were higher for the six month period due to increased personnel costs, higher electricity costs, the cost to rent an electrical generator at the SNG plant due to reliability issues with a power supplier, costs associated with converting pipeline maps to an electronic database and a non-recurring cost to repair the SNG transmission line.
Production costs decreased slightly for the second quarter due to favorable timing of maintenance expenditures at the SNG plant. Transmission and distribution costs were higher for the second quarter as a result of increased personnel costs and costs for the pipeline map conversion and SNG transmission line repair, as discussed above.
Taxes other than income are comprised of payroll taxes, and an 8.9% tax on regulated sales and a 4.2% tax on unregulated sales. This expense increased as a result of higher sales volumes and revenue, a large component of which was due to increased fuel costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due primarily to personnel and benefit cost increases and transitional costs relating to staff resourcing, offset by cost savings resulting from the termination of two administrative services agreements from third party providers.
Depreciation and amortization for the first half of 2006 was slightly higher than in 2005 due to equipment additions and depreciation and amortization related to the higher asset basis following our purchase of TGC in June 2006.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense increased in 2006 due primarily to increasing interest rates and the higher debt balance incurred to fund our acquisition of the business in early June 2006. The $160 million of long-term debt, which carries a blended margin of 50 basis points, has been hedged through 2009. The effective interest rate on the debt is 5.345%.
Other (Expense) Income
Other expense for the first half of 2006 was comprised principally of sale closing expenses. Other income for the first half of 2005 was due to receipt of a $1.3 million payment from an electric utility company to reimburse TGC under a cost sharing arrangement, for entry into an energy corridor fuel pipeline right-of-way.
EBITDA
For the second quarter and first half of 2006 compared with the same periods of 2005, EBITDA declined by $1.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively. The second quarter decrease was the result of approximately $2.0 million of costs associated with our purchase of the business, partially offset by improved operating results of $500,000. The decrease for the first half, in addition to the second quarter factors discussed, was also due to the 2005 receipt of a $1.3 million energy corridor payment that did not reoccur in 2006.
International-Matex Tank Terminals
We completed our acquisition of a 50% interest in IMTT on May 1, 2006. Therefore IMTT only contributed to our consolidated results from this date. We included $240,000 of net income in our consolidated results for the six months ended June 2006, consisting of $1.0 million equity in the earnings of IMTT (net of $554,000 tax expense) less $789,000 depreciation and amortization expense (net of $546,000 tax benefit). IMTT declared a dividend of $14.0 million in June 2006 with $7.0 million payable to MIC Inc. that we have recorded as a receivable at June 30, 2006, and received on July 26, 2006.
To enable meaningful analysis of IMTT’s performance across periods, IMTT’s performance for the full quarter ended June 30, 2006 and full six months ended June 30, 2006, compared in both cases to prior corresponding periods, is discussed below.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
| • | | Terminal revenue and terminal gross profit increased principally due to increases in average tank rental rates; and |
|
| • | | Environmental response gross profit increased due to activities related to hurricane Katrina and a significant spill response job undertaken in the second quarter. |

Revenue and Gross Profit
Terminal revenue increased due to a 0.9% and 1% increase in storage capacity rented to customers in the quarter and six-month periods, respectively, and a 6.9% and 6.6% increase in average storage rates for the second quarter and six-month periods, respectively. Overall storage capacity rented to customers remained effectively stable at 95% of available storage capacity. Terminal revenue also increased due to the increase in the earnings of IMTT’s Quebec terminal and the write-off of a payable in the six-month period that is not expected to reoccur. In the six months to June 30, 2006, IMTT also achieved a $1.2 million improvement in the differential between terminal revenue – heating and terminal operating costs – fuel due to increased demand for heating and increases in unit fuel prices, both of which generated an increased differential.
The increase in terminal revenue was partially offset by an increase in terminal operating costs. This increase was principally due to general increases in direct labor and health benefit costs, repair and maintenance and property taxes, offset partially by a non-cash natural resource damage settlement accrual in New Jersey in the second quarter of 2005 that did not re-occur in the second quarter of 2006.
- 43 -
Environmental response gross profit increased principally due to spill clean up activities resulting from hurricane Katrina and a significant new spill response job undertaken.
The nursery gross profit decreased due to a reduction in demand for plants and a write-down of unsaleable inventory in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina.
Operating Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased due to general increases in direct labor and benefit expenses and expansion of the environmental response business’s marketing function.
Interest Expense, Net
Net interest expense declined due to the reduction in outstanding debt and increase in interest income from liquid asset balances resulting from our investment in IMTT.
EBITDA
EBITDA increased due to the increased gross profit from terminal operations and from environmental response activities offset partially by a decline in gross profit contribution from the nursery business and an increase in general and administrative expenses.
Toll Road Business
Our consolidated results related to the toll road business consist of two main components:
| • | | our equity in the earnings of Connect M1-A1 Holdings Limited, or CHL, which we hold through Macquarie Yorkshire Limited, net of amortization expense; and |
|
| • | | net interest income resulting from loans between us and a subsidiary of CHL. |

We own our toll road business through our 50% interest in CHL and share control with our joint venture partner Balfour Beatty plc. In addition to our share of the net income from the toll road business, less amortization expense, we also earned interest income for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 from our shareholder loans to Connect M1-A1 Limited, the wholly-owned subsidiary of CHL that holds the toll road concession, of $420,000 and $827,000, respectively, offset by $269,000 and $520,000, respectively, in interest expense for our loan from Connect M1-A1 Limited. Interest income (comprising interest on shareholder loans and bank interest) and interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $457,000 and $259,000, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2005 was $933,000 and $519,000, respectively.
CHL’s revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was £12.1 million, 1.6% lower than for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This was due to a 0.7% decrease in vehicle kilometers for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2005. CHL’s revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was £23.8 million, similar to the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Direct expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 were £3.1 million including £2.6 million of depreciation expense. Expenses for the quarter were 10.7% higher than the quarter ended June 30, 2005 due to $0.2 million increase in maintenance costs.
- 44 -
Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was £4.2 million compared with £41,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. This increase was due to a £1.9 million gain from changes in the value of interest rate swaps during the second quarter of 2006 due to higher interest rates, compared with a £4.4 million loss from the second quarter of 2005, net of the impact of lower revenue and higher direct expenses in 2006 as discussed above. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2006 of £7.6 million was higher than £3.1 million net income for the comparable period of 2005 largely due to the same factors as described for the quarters.
Investments
Macquarie Communications Infrastructure Group, or MCG
MCG paid a cash distribution of Australian dollar 19.5 cents per stapled security on February 13, 2006 for the six months ended December 31, 2005. We received $2.2 million net of withholding taxes. In addition, MCG declared a distribution of Australian dollar 19.5 cents per stapled security on June 26, 2006 for the six months ended June 30, 2006, for which we expect to receive $2.2 million net of withholding taxes in August 2006. Cash distributions for the full year of 2006 are therefore expected to be approximately $4.4 million net of withholding taxes, an increase of 34.5% in cash distribution for the year ended June 30, 2006.
South East Water, or SEW
Included in our results for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is $2.7 million in dividend income from our investment in SEW, which we recorded in the first quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we expect to receive total dividends from our investment in SEW of $5.9 million.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We do not intend to retain significant cash balances in excess of what are prudent reserves. We believe that we will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our future liquidity requirements, including in relation to our acquisition strategy, our debt obligations and our dividend policy. We base our assessment on the following assumptions that:
• | | all of our businesses and investments generate, and will continue to generate, significant operating cash flow; |
|
• | | the ongoing maintenance capital expenditures associated with our businesses are modest and readily funded from their respective operating cash flow; |
|
• | | all significant short-term growth capital expenditure will be funded with cash on hand or from committed undrawn debt facilities; |
|
• | | CHL’s amortizing debt can be paid from operating cash flow; |
|
• | | payments on Thermal Chicago/Northwind Aladdin’s debt that will begin to amortize in 2007 can be paid from operating cash flow; |
|
• | | we will be able to raise equity to refinance amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facility prior to its maturity; and |
|
• | | following an equity refinancing, we will have $300.0 million of revolving financing. |
The section below discusses the sources and uses of cash of our businesses and investments.
Our Consolidated Cash Flow
The following information details our consolidated cash flows from operating, financing and investing activities for the periods ended June 30, 2006 and June 30, 2005.
On a consolidated basis, cash flow provided by operating activities totalled $23.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006. Cash flow from operations increased 12.9% over the first six months in 2005. The increase is primarily the result of the positive contribution from acquisitions made by our airport services business and continued organic growth in our consolidated businesses. Offsetting these increases were higher interest expenses resulting from increased debt levels and higher interest rates generally.
On a consolidated basis, cash flow used in investing activities totalled $506.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2006. This was a significant increase over the first six months in 2005.
- 45 -
In the second quarter of 2006, the Company acquired International-Matex Tank Terminals for $257.0 million. In addition, our gas utility business was purchased for $263.3 million, less $7.8 million cash acquired, in the second quarter of 2006.
On a consolidated basis, cash flow provided by financing activities totalled $405.5 million in the first six months of 2006. Cash flow from financing activities increased significantly over the first six months in 2005. Our gas utility business borrowed $160.0 million to finance the equity component of the TGC acquisition.
Included in cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are distributions paid to shareholders of $27.1 million, representing the $0.50 per share distributions for the quarters ended December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006. The distribution for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 was increased to $0.525 per share and will be paid to shareholders on September 11, 2006.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we borrowed $274.0 million under the revolving portion of the MIC Inc. acquisition facility to finance our acquisition of 50% of the equity of IMTT Holdings and our acquisition of The Gas Company. Subsequent to June 30, 2006, additional debt was drawn by MIC Inc. and the airport services business to finance the Trajen acquisition. The amended terms of this facility are described in Note 8, Long-Term Debt, of our consolidated condensed financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Form 10-Q which is incorporated herein by reference.
As of June 30, 2006, our consolidated cash and cash equivalent balances totalled $37.8 million.

Gas Utility Business Cash Flow
Because TGC’s cash flows are only included in our financial results for a short period of 2006, the following analysis compares the historical cash flows for TGC under its current and prior owner. We believe that this is a more appropriate approach to explaining the historical cash flow trends of TGC than discussing the composition of the 24 day period that is included in our consolidated cash flows.

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities | | $ | 255,450 | | | $ | (3,153 | ) |
Key factors influencing cash flow from our gas distribution business were as follows:
| • | | the decrease in operating cash flow for the first half of 2006 was mainly the result of normal working capital fluctuations. The key factors that drive operating cash flows include customer receipts less purchases of fuel, materials and supplies, and less payment of payroll and benefit costs, franchise and revenue taxes, vendor services and administrative charges; |
|
| • | | cash used in investing activities increased mainly due to our acquisition of TGC; and |
|
| • | | cash provided by financing activities increased due to $160.0 million of new term debt incurred to finance the purchase of TGC, $106.7 million of capital received from us upon our acquisition of the business, and $2.0 million drawn on TGC’s revolving credit agreement to fund working capital needs immediately following the acquisition. |
At June 30, 2006, TGC had cash of $5.9 million and had $18.0 million available to borrow under its $20 million revolving credit facility. On July 7, 2006, TGC repaid the $2.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility, restoring its available balance to $20.0 million. A $1.0 million cash dividend was paid to MIC Inc. on July 21, 2006.

IMTT Cash Flow
The acquisition of our 50% interest in IMTT was completed on May 1, 2006. The following analysis compares the historical cash flows for IMTT under its current and prior owners. We believe that this is a more appropriate approach to explaining the historical cash flow trends of IMTT, rather than discussing the cash flows from IMTT included in our consolidated cash flows for the period May 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006.

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities | | $ | 87,646 | | | $ | (11,198 | ) |
Key factors influencing cash flow at IMTT were as follows:
| • | | cash provided by operations increased due to an increase in gross profit and a decrease in interest paid as discussed in Business Segment Operations and a reduction in working capital; |
|
| • | | cash used in investing activities increased principally due to high levels of specific capital expenditure relating to the construction of the new facility at Geismar, LA and the construction of new storage tanks at IMTT’s existing facility at St. Rose, LA as discussed in Capital Expenditure; and |
|
| • | | substantial cash was provided to IMTT from financing activities as a result of our investment in IMTT net of dividends paid to the existing shareholders of IMTT and repayments of borrowings. |

These subsidiaries currently guarantee $13.0 million of the outstanding balance and the guarantee requirement increases by $13.0 million per annum from December, 2006 through December, 2009 at which time the full outstanding amount will be guaranteed by IMTT’s key operating subsidiaries. Further, if the Debt to EBITDA ratio of IMTT’s key operating subsidiaries on a combined basis exceeds 4.5x as at Dec 31, 2009, IMTT’s key operating subsidiaries will assume the obligations under the term loan facility. |

| | As a result of a previous transaction, $52.0 million of the outstanding balance is currently guaranteed by Royal Vopak. In the event that Royal Vopak defaults under its guarantee obligations, the lender has no right of acceleration against IMTT. The Royal Vopak guarantee decreases by $13.0 million in December 2006, $26.0 million in December 2007 and terminates entirely in December 2008. |

Pursuant to the terms of the shareholders’ agreement between ourselves and the other shareholders in IMTT, all shareholders in IMTT other than MIC Inc. are required to loan all dividends received by them (excluding the $100.0 million dividend paid to prior existing shareholders at the closing of our investment in IMTT), net of tax payable in relation to such dividends, through the quarter ending December 31, 2007 back to IMTT Holdings Inc. The shareholder loan will have at a fixed interest rate of 5.5% and be repaid over 15 years by IMTT Holdings Inc with equal quarterly amortization commencing March 31, 2008. No shareholder loans were outstanding as at June 30, 2006.
Toll Road Business
Connect M1-A1 Limited uses its cash flow after funding its operations to make interest and principal payments on its senior debt, to make interest and principal payments on its subordinated debt to Macquarie Yorkshire and Balfour Beatty and then to make dividend payments to CHL. CHL then distributes these dividends to Macquarie Yorkshire (50%) and Balfour Beatty (50%). The subordinated debt interest payments received by Macquarie Yorkshire are included in our consolidated cash flow from operations and subordinated debt principal payments and dividends are included in our consolidated cash flow from investing activities.
Investments in MCG and SEW
Our cash flow from operations include dividends from our investments in MCG and SEW. The dividends we receive from MCG and SEW are dependent on the performance of the underlying businesses and compliance with debt covenants. Based on the public statements of MCG management regarding expected distributions per share for the MCG fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, we expect to receive total dividends from MCG of approximately AUD $6.4 million (USD $4.6 million net of applicable Australian withholding taxes) in the year ended December 31, 2006. Although these estimates are based on public guidance provided by the management of MCG, such guidance does not constitute a guarantee that such dividends will be paid by MCG. For the year ending December 31, 2006, we expect to receive total dividends from our investment in SEW of approximately £3.2 million (USD $5.9 million).

Capital Expenditures
On a consolidated basis, excluding our 2006 acquisitions, we expect to spend $7.9 million of maintenance capital expenditure in 2006 and $26.5 million of specific capital expenditures through 2008. The specific capital expenditure will be funded from available debt facilities, with the proceeds from our recent debt refinancing and with restricted cash from acquisitions. All of the maintenance and specific capital expenditure will be incurred at the operating company level.
We have detailed our capital expenditures on a segment-by-segment basis, which we believe is a more appropriate approach to explaining our capital expenditure requirements on a consolidated basis.
Airport Services Business
Maintenance Capital Expenditure
We expect to spend approximately $3.8 million, or $200,000 per FBO, per year on maintenance capital expenditure at Atlantic’s existing FBOs. At our newly acquired Trajen FBOs we expect to spend approximately $3.3 million, or $140,000 per FBO, per year on maintenance capital expenditure. These amounts will be spent on items such as repainting, replacing equipment as necessary and any ongoing environmental or required regulatory expenditure, such as installing safety equipment. This expenditure is funded from cash flow from operations.
Specific Capital Expenditure
We intend to incur a total of approximately $12.4 million at Atlantic’s existing FBOs on specific capital expenditure in 2006 and 2007 which we intend to fund from cash on hand. We expect to spend $2.7 million on specific capital expenditures in 2006 and 2007 at our newly acquired Trajen FBOs.

Airport Parking Business
Maintenance Capital Expenditure
Maintenance capital projects include regular replacement of shuttle buses and IT equipment, some of which are capital expenditures paid in cash and some of which are financed, including with capital leases. In 2006, our airport parking business expects to commit to maintenance-related capital projects totaling $3.6 million, of which $900,000 represents our 2006 maintenance capital expenditures paid in cash and $2.7 million is expected to be financed with debt or capital leases. Our 2006 cash capital expenditures, including commitments from previous years, is expected to be $3.1 million.
Specific Capital Expenditure
In 2006, our airport parking business expects to commit to $447,000 of specific capital projects, $147,000 of which represents specific capital expenditure and $300,000 of which we expect to finance. In addition, we intend to spend $478,000 in 2006 on capital expenditures related to our SunPark facilities, all of which were pre-funded at the time of our acquisition.

District Energy Business
Maintenance Capital Expenditure
Thermal Chicago expects to spend approximately $1.0 million per year on capital expenditures relating to the replacement of parts and minor system modifications. Over the past two years, minor system modifications have been made that increased capacity by approximately 3,000 tons. Maintenance capital expenditures will be funded for the next one and a half years from available debt facilities and thereafter are expected to be funded from cash flow from operations.
Specific Capital Expenditure
We anticipate that Thermal Chicago will spend up to approximately $8.4 million for system expansion over two years starting in the second half of 2006 instead of 2007 as originally expected. This expansion, in conjunction with operational strategies, and efficiencies we have achieved at our plants and throughout our system, will add approximately 16,000 tons of saleable capacity to the Thermal Chicago downtown cooling system. A portion of this increased capacity, approximately 6,700 tons, will be used to accommodate four customers who will convert from interruptible to continuous service by the third quarter of 2006, with the balance sold to new or existing customers. We anticipate that the expanded capacity sold to new or existing customers will be under contract or subject to letters of intent prior to Thermal Chicago committing to the capital expenditure. As of June 30, 2006, we have signed contracts with three customers representing 37% of the additional saleable capacity, including their options to extend. These customers will begin receiving service between 2006 and 2009.
Associated with expanding the system and creating additional capacity, we estimate that we will incur additional capital expenditure of $5.6 million over the next three years to connect new customers to the system. This is an increase of $1.8 million over prior estimates due to an additional 2,400 tons identified and better visibility on prospective customers. We anticipate minor system modifications will support the additional tons. Typically, new customers will reimburse Thermal Chicago for some, if not all, of these expenditures. Approval from the City of Chicago may be required if expansion of underground distribution piping is necessary.
Based on recent contract experience, each new ton of capacity sold will add approximately $425 to annual revenues in the first year of service. Approximately 50% of this increased revenue is in the form of cooling capacity revenue and the balance as cooling consumption revenue.
Thermal Chicago expects to fund the capital expenditure for system expansion and interconnection by drawing on available debt facilities.
Gas Utility Business
Maintenance Capital Expenditure
TGC expects to spend approximately $6.9 million for maintenance and routine replacements of current facilities and equipment in 2006, of which $4.6 million was incurred through June 30, 2006. The remaining $2.3 million comprises approximately $1.0 million for vehicles and $1.3 million for other renewals and upgrades.
Specific Capital Expenditure
TGC expects to spend approximately $3.7 million in 2006 for capital projects related to new business and for new capital projects that are not routine maintenance or asset replacements, of which $500,000 was incurred through June 30, 2006. The remaining $3.2 million relates to new business, including new tanks and meters, expansion of current facilities and improvement of distribution system reliability and capacity.
IMTT
Maintenance Capital Expenditure
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, IMTT spent $9.8 million on maintenance capital expenditure, including $8.0 million principally in relation to storage tank refurbishments and $1.7 million on environmental capital expenditure, principally in relation to improvements in containment measures. Looking forward it is anticipated that total maintenance capital expenditure (maintenance and environmental) is unlikely to exceed a range of between $30.0 million and $40.0 million per year and is expected to be below this range for the 2006 full year due to the deferral of environmental capital expenditure into subsequent periods. The expected level of future maintenance capital expenditure over the longer term primarily reflects the need for increased environmental expenditures going forward both to remediate existing sites and to upgrade waste water treatment and spill containment infrastructure to comply with existing, and currently foreseeable changes to, environmental regulations. Future maintenance capital expenditure is expected to be funded from IMTT’s cash flow from operations.
- 53 -
Specific Capital Expenditure
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, IMTT spent $26.0 million on specific expansion projects including $12.5 million in relation to the construction of a new bulk liquid chemical storage facility at Geismar and $7.0 million in relation to the on-going construction of new storage tanks at IMTT’s existing facility at St. Rose. The balance of the specific capital expenditure related to a number of smaller projects to improve the capabilities of IMTT’s facilities. IMTT has currently committed to further capital expenditure over the course of 2006 and 2007 of at least approximately $121.0 million in relation to the construction of the Geismar facility and to further capital expenditure of at least $14.0 million in relation to the construction of 12 new storage tanks at IMTT’s existing facilities in Louisiana. The capital expenditure in relation to the Geismar project is expected to increase as discussed in “General – Recent Acquisitions – IMTT” above. It is anticipated that the proposed specific capital expenditure will be fully funded using a combination of IMTT’s cash flow from operations, IMTT’s existing debt facilities (which are intended to be refinanced and increased during 2006 and 2007), the proceeds from our investment in IMTT and future loans from the IMTT shareholders other than us.
Toll Road Business
Maintenance Capital Expenditure
Maintenance capital expenditure is required to maintain the condition of Yorkshire Link at the standard required under the concession on an ongoing basis and to meet the return condition requirements at the end of the concession when the road is transferred to the U.K. government. Connect M1-A1 Limited anticipates spending approximately £30.4 million, at 2005 prices, on periodic maintenance over the remaining life of the concession, with most of this expenditure occurring after 2020. This expenditure generally relates to resurfacing and the maintenance of structures over which Yorkshire Link runs and is in addition to the general day-to-day operating costs of Yorkshire Link.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since March 14, 2006, our 10-K filing date, except as discussed below.
Interest Rate Risk
MIC Inc. Level Debt
The total debt facilities outstanding at the MIC Inc. level is $454.0 million. This is comprised of a $300.0 million revolving credit facility drawn to $274.0 million and a $180.0 million fully drawn term facility. The $180.0 million term facility was drawn after June 30, 2006. Both the revolving facility and term facility are not hedged and therefore we are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. A 1% increase in the interest rate on the revolver would result in a $2.7 million increase in the interest cost per year. A corresponding 1% decrease would result in a $2.7 million decrease in interest cost per year. A 1% increase in the increase in the interest rate on the term facility would result in a $1.8 million increase in the interest cost per year. A corresponding 1% decrease would result in a $1.8 million decrease in interest cost per year.
- 55 -
Airport Services Business
The senior debt for our airport services business comprises a non-amortizing $480.0 million floating rate facility maturing in 2010. Of this facility, $180.0 million was drawn subsequent to June 30, 2006. A 1% increase in the interest rate on the $480.0 million airport services business debt would result in a $4.8 million increase in the interest cost per year. A corresponding 1% decrease would result in a $4.8 million decrease in interest cost per year.
Our airport services business’s exposure to interest rate changes through the senior debt has been hedged through the use of interest rate swaps. The $480.0 million facility is fully hedged until maturity. These hedging arrangements will offset any additional interest rate expense incurred as a result of increases in interest rates. However, if interest rates decrease, the value of our hedge instruments will also decrease. A 10% relative decrease in interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair market value of the hedge instruments of $10.6 million. A corresponding 10% relative increase would result in a $10.4 million increase in the fair market value.
The Gas Company
TGC and its holding company, HGC, are exposed to interest rate risk in relation to the borrowings of our business. The senior term debt for TGC and HGC comprises two non-amortizing term facilities totaling $160.0 million and a senior secured revolving credit facility totaling $20.0 million (against which $2.0 million had been drawn at June 30, 2006 and was repaid on July 7, 2006). These variable rate facilities mature on August 31, 2013.
A 1% increase in the interest rate on TGC and HGC’s term debt would result in a $1.6 million increase in interest cost per year. A corresponding 1% decrease would result in a $1.6 million decrease in annual interest cost.
TGC and HGC’s exposure to interest rate changes has, however, been fully hedged from September 1, 2006 until maturity through interest rate swaps. These derivative hedging arrangements will offset any interest rate increases or decreases during the term of the notes, resulting in stable interest rates of 5.24% for TGC (rising to 5.34% in year 6 and 7 of the facility) and 5.44% for HGC (rising to 5.55% in year 6 and 7 of the facility). TGC’s and HGC’s swaps were entered into on August 17 and 18, 2005. The current value of the swaps as of June 30, 2006 is $7.9 million. A 10% relative decrease in market interest rates from June 30, 2006 levels would decrease the fair market value of the hedge instruments to $2.7 million. A corresponding 10% relative increase would increase their fair market value to $13.1 million. Because these are effective hedges, the change in the fair value of the debt that results from increase or decrease in interest rates would be recorded in other comprehensive income.
IMTT
IMTT, at June 30, 2006, had two issues of tax exempt revenue bonds outstanding with a total balance of $36.3 million where the interest rate is reset daily by tender. A 1% increase in interest rates on this tax exempt debt would result in a $363,000 increase in interest cost per year and a corresponding 1% decrease would result in a $363,000 decrease in interest cost per year. IMTT’s exposure to interest rate changes through the tax exempt debt has been largely hedged through October 2007 through the use of a $50.0 million notional value interest rate swap. As the interest rate swap is fixed against 90-day LIBOR, it does not result in a perfect hedge for short term rates on tax exempt debt although it will largely offset any additional interest rate expense incurred as a result of increases in interest rates. The face value of the interest rate swap currently exceeds IMTT’s total outstanding floating rate debt as a consequence of repayment of debt under the revolving credit facility described above subsequent to our investment in IMTT. If interest rates decrease, the value of the interest rate swap will also decrease. A 10% relative decrease in interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair market value of the interest rate swap of $312,000 and a corresponding 10% relative increase would result in a $309,000 increase in the fair market value.
IMTT at June 30, 2006 had $5.6 million outstanding under the CAD revolving credit facility. A 1% increase in interest rates on the CAD revolver would result in a $56,000 increase in interest cost per year. A corresponding 1% decrease would result in a $56,000 decrease in interest cost per year.
IMTT at June 30, 2006 had a $117.0 million floating rate term loan outstanding. A 1% increase in interest rates on the term loan would result in a $1.2 million increase in interest cost per year. A corresponding 1% decrease would result in a $1.2 million decrease in interest cost per year. IMTT’s exposure to interest rate changes through the term loan has been fully hedged through the use of an amortizing interest rate swap. These hedging arrangements will fully offset any additional interest rate expense incurred as a result of increases in interest rates. However, if interest rates decrease, the value of the interest rate swap will also decrease. A 10% relative decrease in interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair market value of the interest rate swap of $3.2 million. A corresponding 10% relative increase in interest rates would result in a $3.1 million increase in the fair market value of the interest rate swap.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Under the direction and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchanges Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2006.
There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The following information supplements the information described in Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Toll Road Business
On March 20, 2004, a fatal road accident occurred on Yorkshire Link that was the focus of an investigation by local police authorities. Based on conversations with these authorities, we understand that they are no longer pursuing their investigation into Connect M1-A1 Limited.
SEW
Saur International had been engaged by SEW, then owned by Saur UK and part of the Bouygues Group, to develop and implement a new billing system for SEW. Following extended delays and technical problems with the software, SEW notified Saur International of its intention to terminate the project and, in March 2005, SEW initiated a claim against Saur International through arbitration to recover amounts paid to Saur International and thereafter Saur International counterclaimed. In May, 2006, the parties reached a confidential settlement, the terms of which will not have a material effect on SEW.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following risk factors could affect TGC or IMTT and should be considered in connection with our discussion of forward-looking statements and with the risk factors that were included with our most recently filed Forms 10-K and 10-Q:
TGC relies on its SNG plant for a significant portion of its sales. Disruptions at that facility could adversely affect TGC’s ability to serve customers.
Disruptions at the SNG plant resulting from mechanical or operational problems could affect TGC’s ability to produce SNG. Most of the regulated sales on Oahu are of SNG and are produced at this plant. Disruptions to the primary and redundant production systems would have a significant adverse effect on sales and cash flows.
TGC depends heavily on the two Oahu oil refineries for liquefied petroleum gas and the primary feedstock for its SNG plant. Disruptions at either of those refineries may adversely affect the TGC’s operations.
TGC’s business comprises the manufacture of SNG and the distribution of SNG and LPG. Any feedstock, SNG or LPG supply disruptions that limit its ability to manufacture and deliver gas for customers would adversely affect its ability to carry out its operating activities. These could include: an inability to renew feedstock purchase arrangements; malfunctions relating to the SNG plant; extended unavailability of one or both of the Oahu refineries; a disruption to crude oil supplies or feedstocks to Hawaii; or an inability to purchase LPG from foreign sources. TGC has up to 30 days of storage depending upon the location. A supply disruption would deplete TGC’s storage and, if occurring for an extended period, could adversely impact TGC’s sales and cash flows.
TGC’s most significant costs are LPG and feed stock for the SNG plant, the costs of which are directly related to petroleum prices. To the extent that these costs cannot be passed on to customers, TGC’s sales and cash flows will be adversely affected.
The profitability of TGC is based on the margin of sales prices over costs. Since LPG and feedstock for the SNG plant are commodities, changes in the market for these products can have a significant impact on costs. TGC has no control over these costs, and, to the extent that these costs cannot be passed on to customers, TGC’s financial condition and the results of operations would be adversely affected. Further, higher prices could result in reduced customer demand or could result in customer conversion to alternative energy sources. This would reduce sales volume and adversely affect profits.
- 57 -
TGC’s operations on the islands of Hawaii, Maui and Kauai rely on LPG that is transported to those islands by Jones Act qualified barges from Oahu and from non-Jones Act vessels from foreign ports. Disruptions to those vessels could adversely affect TGC’s results of operations.
TGC has time charter agreements allowing the use of two barges that have the capability of transporting 424,000 gallons and 657,000 gallons of LPG, respectively. The Jones Act requires that vessels carrying cargo between two U.S. ports meet certain requirements. The barges used by TGC are the only two Jones Act qualified barges that are available in the Hawaiian Islands. To the extent that these barges are unable to transport LPG from Oahu, and TGC is not able to secure foreign-source LPG or obtain an exemption to the Jones Act, the storage capacity on those islands could be depleted and sales and cash flows could be adversely affected.
The recovery of amounts expended for capital projects in the regulated operations is subject to approval by the HPUC, which exposes TGC to the risk of incurring costs that may not be recoverable from regulated customers.
In the past, TGC has requested rate increases from the HPUC approximately every five years as its operating costs increased and its capital investments were committed. When the HPUC approved our purchase of TGC, it stipulated that no rate increase may be sought until 2009. Should TGC seek a rate increase, there is a risk that TGC will not be granted such increase or that it will be permitted only part of the increase. This would result in reduced operating margins in the regulated business, which may have a material adverse effect on TGC’s financial condition and results of operations.
The non-regulated operations of TGC are subject to a variety of competitive pressures and the actions of competitors, particularly from other energy sources, could have a materially adverse effect on operating results.
In Hawaii, gas is largely used by commercial and residential customers for water heating and cooking. TGC also has wholesale customers that resell product to other end-users. Gas end-use applications may be substituted by other fuel sources such as electricity, diesel, solar and wind. Customers could, for a number of reasons, including increased gas prices, lower costs of alternative energy or convenience, move their energy needs to alternative sources. This could have an adverse effect on TGC’s sales revenue and cash flows.
Approximately two-thirds of TGC’s employees are members of a labor union. A work interruption may adversely affect TGC’s business.
Approximately two-thirds of TGC’s employees are covered under a collective bargaining agreement that expires on April 30, 2008. Labor disruptions related to that contract or to other disputes could affect the SNG plant, distributions systems and customer services. We are unable to predict how work stoppages would affect the business.
TGC’s operating results are affected by Hawaii’s economy.
The primary driver of Hawaii’s economy is tourism. A significant portion of TGC’s sales is generated from businesses that rely on tourism as their primary source of revenue. These businesses include hotels and resorts, restaurants and laundries, comprising approximately 40% of commercial sales. Should tourism decline significantly, TGC’s commercial sales could be affected adversely.
In addition, a reduction in new housing starts and commercial development would limit growth opportunities for TGC’s business.
TGC has certain environmental risks.
TGC is subject to risks and hazards associated with the refining, handling, storage and transportation of combustible products. These risks could result in substantial losses due to personal injury, loss of life, damage or destruction of property and equipment, and environmental damage. Losses could be greater than insurance levels maintained by TGC, which could have an adverse effect on TGC’s financial results. In addition, disruptions to physical assets could reduce TGC’s ability to serve customers and adversely affect sales and cash flows.
Because of its geographic location, Hawaii, and in turn TGC, is subject to certain weather risks that could materially disrupt operations.
Hawaii is subject to certain weather risks, such as hurricanes, floods, heavy and sustained rains and tidal waves. Because TGC’s SNG plant, SNG transmission line and several storage facilities are close to the ocean, weather related disruptions are possible. Severe weather could damage TGC’s assets or could result in wide-spread damage to TGC’s customers, thereby reducing sales volumes and, to the extent such damages are not covered by insurance, TGC’s revenue and cash flows.

TGC may face a greater exposure to terrorism than other businesses because of the nature of its products.
Because of the combustible nature of TGC’s products and consumer reliance on these projects for basic services, TGC’s SNG plant, transmission pipelines and storage facilities may be at greater risk for terrorism attacks than other business. Such attacks could affect TGC’s operations significantly.
TGC’s income may be affected adversely if additional compliance costs are required as a result of new safety, health or environmental regulation.
TGC is subject to federal, state and local safety, health and environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations affect all aspects of TGC’s operations and are frequently modified. There is a risk that TGC may not be able to comply with some aspect of these laws and regulations, resulting in fines or penalties. Additionally, if new laws and regulations are adopted or if interpretations of existing laws and regulations change, TGC could be required to increase capital spending and incur increased operating expenses in order to comply. Because the regulatory environment frequently changes, TGC cannot predict when or how it may be affected by such changes.
IMTT’s business is dependent on the demand for bulk liquid storage capacity in the locations where it operates.
Demand for IMTT’s bulk liquid storage is largely a function of U.S. domestic demand for chemical, petroleum and vegetable and animal, or V&A, oil products and, less significantly, the extent to which such products are imported into the United States rather than produced domestically. U.S. domestic demand for chemical, petroleum and V&A products is influenced by a number of factors, including economic conditions, growth in the U.S. economy and the pricing of chemical, petroleum and V&A products and their substitutes. Import volumes of these products to the United States are influenced by the cost of producing chemical, petroleum and V&A products domestically vis-a-vis overseas and the cost of transporting the products from overseas. In addition, changes in government regulations that affect imports of bulk chemical, petroleum and V&A products, including the imposition of surcharges or taxes on imported products, could adversely affect import volumes. A reduction in demand for bulk liquid storage, particularly in the New York Harbor or the lower Mississippi River, as a consequence of lower U.S. domestic demand for, or imports of, chemical, petroleum or V&A products, could lead to a decline in storage rates and tankage volumes rented and adversely affect IMTT’s revenues and profitability.
IMTT’s business could be adversely affected by a substantial increase in bulk liquid storage capacity in the locations where it operates.
An increase in available tank storage capacity in excess of growth in demand for such storage in the key locations in which IMTT operates, such as New York Harbor and the lower Mississippi River, could result in overcapacity and a decline in storage rates and tankage volumes rented and could adversely affect IMTT’s revenues and profitability.
IMTT’s business involves hazardous activities, is partly located in a region with a history of significant adverse weather events and is potentially a target for terrorist attacks. We cannot assure you that IMTT is, or will be in the future, adequately insured against all such risks.
The transportation, handling and storage of petroleum, chemical and V&A products are subject to the risk of spills, leakage, contamination, fires and explosions. Any of these events may result in loss of revenue, loss of reputation or goodwill, increased litigation costs, fines, penalties and other liabilities. In certain circumstances, such events could also require IMTT to halt or significantly alter operations at all or part of the facility at which the event occurred. Consistent with industry practice, IMTT carries insurance to protect against most of the accident-related risks involved in the conduct of the business; however, the limits of IMTT’s coverage mean IMTT cannot insure against all risks. In addition, because IMTT’s facilities are not insured against loss from terrorism, a terrorist attack that significantly damages one or more of IMTT’s major facilities would have a negative impact on IMTT’s future cash flow and profitability. Further, losses sustained by insurers during hurricanes Katrina and Rita may result in lower insurance coverage and increased insurance premiums for IMTT’s properties in Louisiana going forward, a situation that could worsen if future weather events cause significant property damage in the U.S. Gulf region.

IMTT is subject to environmental, health and safety risks that may impact its future cash flows and profitability.
A number of the properties owned by IMTT have been subject to environmental contamination in the past and require remediation for which IMTT is liable. These remediation obligations exist principally at IMTT’s Bayonne and Lemont facilities and could cost more than anticipated or could be incurred earlier than anticipated or both. In addition, IMTT may discover additional environmental contamination at its Bayonne, Lemont or other facilities which may require remediation at significant cost to IMTT. Further, the past contamination of the properties owned by IMTT could also result in personal injury or property damage or similar claims by third parties.
IMTT’s operations are subject to numerous statutes, rules and regulations relating to environmental, health and safety protection that are complex, stringent and expensive to comply with. Although we believe that IMTT’s operations comply in all material respects with environmental, health and safety regulations, failure to comply in the future may give rise to interruptions in IMTT’s operations and civil or criminal penalties and liabilities that could adversely affect IMTT’s business and financial condition. Further, these rules and regulations are subject to change and compliance with such changes could result in a restriction of IMTT’s business activities, significant capital expenditures and/or increased on-going operating costs.
Hurricane Katrina resulted in labor and materials shortages in the regions affected. This may have a negative impact on the cost and construction timeline of IMTT’s new storage facility in Louisiana, which could result in a loss of customer contracts and reduced revenues and profitability.
In the aftermath of hurricane Katrina, construction costs in the region affected by the hurricane have increased and labor shortages have been experienced. This could have a significant negative impact on the cost and construction schedule of IMTT’s new storage facility at Geismar in Louisiana. IMTT may not be fully compensated by customers for any unexpected increase in construction costs. In addition, substantial construction delays could result in a loss of customer contracts with no compensation or inadequate compensation, which would have a material adverse effect on IMTT’s future cash flows and profitability.
