At September 30, 2008, we did not have any outstanding material purchase obligations. For a discussion of our other future obligations, due by period, under the various contractual obligations, off-balance sheet arrangements and commitments, please see “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Commitments and Contingencies” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2008. We have not had any material changes to our commitments except as discussed above.
Critical Accounting Estimates
For critical accounting estimates, see “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Our critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from the description contained in that Annual Report.
Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Long-Lived Assets
Due to the performance of our airport parking business, as discussed in the “Airport Parking Business” sections of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations” and “ — Liquidity and Capital Resources,” we evaluated our airport parking business’ goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment at September 30, 2008.
These evaluations are largely dependent on the estimated future cash flows of these assets and the fair value of these items, as determined by management based on a number of estimates, including future cash flow projections, discount rates and terminal values. In determining these estimates, management considers information supplied by management of the airport parking business, valuations prepared by independent appraisal experts, relevant public data on similar companies and information obtained from discussions with market participants. The determination of fair values requires significant judgment both by management and outside experts engaged to assist in this process.
The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process, which requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists of estimating the fair value of the airport parking business based on the information and considerations discussed above and comparing estimated fair value with the carrying value, which includes goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an “implied fair value” of goodwill. At September 30, 2008, the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value so the second step was not necessary.
The impairment test for long-lived assets and intangible assets, including trademarks, domain names and customer relationships, is a two-step process which requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step is to determine the undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset or group of assets. If the undiscounted future cash flows exceed the carrying value of the asset, there is no impairment and the second step is not necessary. At September 30, 2008, there was no impairment of our airport parking business’ long-lived assets or intangible assets.
If our airport parking business does not improve, it is likely that it would be required to write down its intangible assets or long-lived assets. We cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill, intangible assets and/or long-lived assets. Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on our customer base, or a material negative change in relationship with significant customers.

OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
None other than as previously disclosed in Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31 2007, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2008, and in Part II, Item 1 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2008, filed with the SEC on August 7, 2008.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Adverse credit market conditions may have a material adverse affect on our liquidity or our ability to obtain credit on acceptable terms.
The securities and credit markets have been experiencing extreme volatility and disruption. In some cases, the markets have exerted downward pressure on the availability of liquidity and credit capacity. In response to recent market disruptions, legislators and financial regulators implemented a number of mechanisms designed to add stability and liquidity to the financial markets. The overall effects of these and other legislative and regulatory efforts on the financial markets are uncertain, and they may not have the intended stabilization effects. Should these initiatives fail or should credit market conditions fail to otherwise improve, our ability to obtain additional capital, including to repay or refinance our indebtedness, pay significant capital expenditures or fund acquisitions, may be limited and/or the cost of any such capital may be significant. Our access to additional financing will depend on a variety of factors such as market conditions, the general availability of credit, the overall availability of credit to our industry, our credit history and credit capacity, as well as lender perceptions of our financial prospects. In the event we are unable to obtain additional capital, our internal sources of liquidity may not be sufficient.
Ongoing disruption in the financial markets could reduce activity levels at our airport services business and have an adverse effect on its profitability and/or liquidity.
During September and October of 2008, the substantial stress, volatility, illiquidity and disruption in the global credit and other financial markets reached unprecedented levels, resulting in the bankruptcy or acquisition of, or government assistance to, several major domestic and international financial institutions. The recent market developments and the potential for increased and continuing disruptions have had a significant impact on the activity levels of many corporate customers of our airport services business and may potentially increase price sensitivity generally. If recent legislative or regulatory initiatives fail to stabilize the credit markets, we may see continued declines in corporate jet usage and further pricing pressure, which would adversely affect the results and/or liquidity position of our airport services business.
For other risk factors related to our business, please see Part II, Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2008, filed with the SEC on August 7, 2008 and Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2008.
Continued underperformance in our airport parking business could result in a failure to meet its debt covenants and an inability to extend or refinance the debt of that business.
The ongoing downturn in the U.S. economy and the decline in commercial air travel have caused the results of our airport parking business to decline, particularly its revenues, EBITDA and cash from operations. In the past, the business has funded its operations in part with its own cash on hand; however, in the second and third quarters of 2008, we contributed cash to the business to enable it to meet its liquidity requirements. If the performance of the business does not improve in future periods and we do not contribute to the business additional funding, the airport parking business may not be able to meet these financial covenants, potentially by the end of the year. Continued underperformance in our airport parking business would also likely result in its failing to meet the test needed to extend the maturity of its credit facility beyond September 2009 without further contribution from us. An additional $6.4 million of debt at this business matures beginning in January 2009. In light of the current credit markets and the performance of the airport parking business, it is uncertain whether we would be able to refinance any of this debt at maturity or otherwise, without additional cash

We have no obligation to make any such contributions.
