NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 has been prepared by the Company and was not audited by its independent registered public accounting firm. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEACOR Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2005 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or any future periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
Unless the context otherwise indicates, any references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company” refer to SEACOR Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and any references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “SEACOR” refer to SEACOR Holdings Inc.
2. Seabulk Merger
On July 1, 2005, SEACOR completed its merger with Seabulk International, Inc. (“Seabulk”). With a fleet of 144 vessels at acquisition, Seabulk is a leading provider of marine support and transportation services, primarily to the energy and chemical industries. Seabulk’s offshore energy services fleet supports operators of offshore oil and gas exploration, development and production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico, the Arabian Gulf, offshore West Africa, South America and Southeast Asia. Seabulk’s tanker fleet, principally comprised of U.S. flag ships, transports petroleum products, crude oil and chemicals. Seabulk’s marine towing fleet provides harbor towing services from ports in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas and offshore towing services primarily in the Gulf of Mexico.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Seabulk’s stockholders received 0.2694 shares of SEACOR common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), plus cash of $4.00 for each issued and outstanding share of Seabulk common stock. Based on SEACOR’s closing price of $64.30 on June 30, 2005, Seabulk stockholders have received $21.32 in SEACOR stock and cash for each share of Seabulk common stock exchanged. Seabulk stock ceased trading at the close of business on June 30, 2005.
The aggregate equity value of the transaction was approximately $521.7 million, based on SEACOR issuing 6,354,642 shares of Common Stock, 394,446 options to purchase Common Stock, plus additional cash consideration of approximately $94.4 million. The cash portion of the transaction was financed with $50.0 million of additional borrowings under SEACOR’s existing revolving credit facility and internally generated funds.
3. Equipment Acquisitions and Dispositions
Capital expenditures aggregated $145.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005. Equipment deliveries during the period included 4 used anchor handling towing supply vessels and 1 new crew vessel, 45 new dry cargo covered hopper and 16 new chemical tank barges. The Company also sold 11 offshore support vessels, 4 helicopters and other equipment for aggregate consideration of $108.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2005.
4
4. Acquisition of Era Aviation, Inc. and Disposition of Held for Sale Assets
On December 31, 2004, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Era Aviation, Inc. (“Era”), the owner of 81 helicopters and 16 fixed wing aircraft. Immediately following the acquisition of Era, the Company combined Era’s helicopter business with its pre-existing helicopter services and began a process to sell Era’s regional airline service business that included its fixed wing aircraft. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the purchase price of $118.1 million was reduced by $4.8 million resulting from the final determination of acquired working capital partially offset by additional closing costs. The purchase price allocation will be completed in 2005. The Company does not expect the acquisition of Era to result in the recognition of goodwill.
Effective May 27, 2005, the Company sold Era’s regional airline service business, previously “held for sale,” for $15.0 million. Sale proceeds, paid to the Company in July 2005, were reported in “Trade and other receivables” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2005. The operating results of the regional airline service business, including $15.3 million of operating revenues earned in the six months ended June 30, 2005, have been reported as “Discontinued Operations” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company also sold other previously “held for sale” Era assets for $3.7 million, including 1 helicopter and 4 fixed wing aircraft, during the second quarter of 2005.
5. Construction Reserve Funds
During the second quarter of 2005, the Company withdrew $50.9 million from its joint depository construction reserve fund accounts with consent of the Maritime Administration. The withdrawals reimbursed the Company for prior purchases of dry cargo hopper and chemical tank barges and an anchor handling towing supply vessel. These withdrawals were partly offset by the Company’s deposit into its joint depository construction reserve fund accounts of additional offshore support vessel sale proceeds and interest earned on invested fund balances during the six months ended June 30, 2005.
Construction reserve fund accounts were established by the Company pursuant to Section 511 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended. In accordance with the statute, the Company has been permitted to deposit proceeds from the sale of certain vessels into the joint depository construction reserve fund accounts for the purpose of acquiring U.S. flag vessels and qualifying for the temporary deferral of taxable gains realized from the sale of vessels.
6. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company’s unfunded capital commitments as of June 30, 2005 for new helicopters, new dry cargo covered hopper barges, new offshore support vessels and other equipment totaled $342.7 million. Of these commitments, up to approximately $160.0 million may be terminated without liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $3.0 million in the aggregate. Deliveries are expected in 2005 through 2009 for helicopters, 2006 through 2007 for barges and 2005 for offshore support vessels. In addition to these purchase commitments, the Company has placed refundable deposits for additional new helicopters.
The Company has guaranteed the payment of amounts owed by certain of its joint ventures under vessel charter agreements that expire through 2009. In addition, the Company has guaranteed amounts owed by certain of its joint ventures under a banking facility and a performance guarantee. As of June 30, 2005, the total amount guaranteed by the Company was $14.8 million.
A subsidiary of SEACOR has received a document subpoena from the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. This subpoena relates to a grand jury investigation of potential antitrust violations among providers of helicopter transportation services in the Gulf of Mexico. The Company believes that this subpoena is part of a broader industry inquiry and that the other providers also have received such subpoenae. SEACOR intends to provide all information requested in the response to this investigation.
7. Long-Term Debt
In 2005, the Company borrowed $65.0 million ($15.0 million on June 3, 2005 and $50.0 million on July 5, 2005) under its revolving credit facility and, as of August 3, 2005, $132.8 million remains available for future borrowings under that facility. The Company’s revolving credit facility terminates in February 2007. Repayments of long-term debt in 2005, principally related to an obligation due an offshore vessel builder, totaled $13.2 million.
5
8. Income Taxes
As a result of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, the Company believes it will be in the position to repatriate, for a limited time, accumulated foreign earnings at an effective federal tax rate of 5.25%, which would result in tax obligations significantly less than the deferred taxes previously provided for its unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Company is exploring the full impact of the legislation and will finalize its repatriation plan during 2005. In accordance with FASB Staff Position FAS 109-2, the Company will recognize the income tax benefit of this special one-time dividends received deduction in the period that the Company has decided on a plan for repatriation.
9. Authorized Shares of Common Stock
At the annual meeting of stockholders on June 27, 2005, the holders of Common Stock approved an amendment to SEACOR’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of SEACOR from 40,000,000 shares to 60,000,000 shares. To effect this change, SEACOR amended its certificate of incorporation.
10. Stock and Debt Repurchases
During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company acquired a total of 84,647 shares of Common Stock for treasury at an aggregate cost of $5.6 million. As of June 30, 2005, $37.7 million of repurchase authority granted by the Company’s Board of Directors remains available for acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock, the Company’s 7.2% Senior Notes Due 2009 (“7.2% Notes”) and its 5-7/8% Senior Notes due 2012 (“5-7/8% Notes”). Securities are acquired from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions.
11. Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share
Basic earnings (loss) per common share were computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the relevant periods. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share were computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares that would have been outstanding in the relevant periods assuming the vesting of restricted stock grants and the issuance of common shares for stock options and convertible subordinated notes through the application of the treasury stock and if-converted methods. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share exclude certain options and share awards, totaling 110,560 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 246,645 and 355,015 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, respectively, as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive.

12. Comprehensive Income (Loss)
For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, total comprehensive income was $18.0 million and total comprehensive loss was $0.5 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, total comprehensive income was $35.6 million and total comprehensive loss was $1.4 million, respectively. Other comprehensive income (loss) consisted of gains and losses from foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.
13. Stock Compensation
Under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (“SFAS 123”), companies could either adopt a “fair value method” of accounting for its stock based compensation plans or continue to use the “intrinsic value method” as prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25. The Company has elected to continue accounting for its stock compensation plans using the intrinsic value method. Had compensation costs for the plans been determined using a fair value method consistent with SFAS 123, the Company’s net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share would have been reduced to the following pro forma amounts:

The effects of applying a fair value method consistent with SFAS 123 in this pro forma disclosure are not indicative of future events and the Company anticipates that it will award additional stock based compensation in future periods. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company issued 234,160 shares of Common Stock for restricted stock grants, director stock grants and the exercise of stock options. In addition, the Company released from treasury 9,344 shares of Common Stock for employee stock plan purchases.
14. New Accounting Pronouncement
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123 (R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Statement 123 (R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. The impact of adopting Statement 123 (R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted Statement 123 (R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of the SFAS 123 disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share presented in Note 13. The Company will adopt the provisions of Statement 123 (R) on January 1, 2006 using the “modified prospective” approach, recognizing compensation expense for all unvested employee stock options as of that date and for all subsequent employee stock options granted thereafter.

15. Segment Information
Accounting standards require public business enterprises to report information about each of their operating business segments that exceed certain quantitative thresholds or meet certain other reporting requirements. Operating business segments have been defined as a component of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Certain reclassifications of prior period information have been made to conform to the current period’s reportable segment presentation. The Company’s basis of measurement of segment profit or loss has not changed from those previously described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

Such forward-looking statements concerning management’s expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated economic performance and financial condition and other similar matters involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements discussed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others: the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, the operation of Offshore Marine Services and Helicopter Services in a highly competitive environment, changes in foreign political, military and economic conditions, the dependence of Offshore Marine Services and Helicopter Services on several customers, industry fleet capacity, the ongoing need to replace aging vessels, restrictions imposed by the Shipping Acts and Aviation Acts on the amount of foreign ownership of the Company’s Common Stock, safety record requirements related to Offshore Marine Services and Helicopter Services, changes in foreign and domestic oil and gas exploration and production activity, vessel and helicopter-related risks of Offshore Marine Services and Helicopter Services, effects of adverse weather conditions and seasonality on Helicopter Services, dependence of spill response revenue on the number and size of spills and upon continuing government regulation in this area and our ability to comply with such regulation and other governmental regulation, changes in NRC’s OSRO classification, effects of adverse weather and river conditions and seasonality on inland river operations, the level of grain export volume, the effect of fuel prices on barge towing costs, variability in freight rates for inland river barges, liability in connection with providing spill response services, the effect of international economic and political factors in inland river operations, the intense competition faced by Inland River Services, adequacy of insurance coverage, currency exchange fluctuations, the attraction and retention of qualified personnel by the Company, and various other matters, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and other factors as described at the end of Item 7 (Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations) of the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004. The words “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made.

Overview
The table above provides an analysis of the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for each quarter and six month period indicated. See “Item 1. Financial Statements – Note 15. Segment Information” included in Part I for additional financial information about the Company’s business segments. Additional discussions of results of operations by business segment are presented below. The Company’s operations are divided among the following four business segments: “Offshore Marine Services;” “Environmental Services;” “Inland River Services;” and “Helicopter Services.” The Company also has activities that are referred to and described under “Other.” “Other” primarily includes equity in earnings of 50% or less owned companies unrelated to our reportable business segments and our “Fixed Base Operation” acquired on December 31, 2004 in the acquisition of Era (as described in Note 4 to the financial statements). Our Fixed Base Operation sells fuel and provides ground services to transient corporate aircraft at the Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.
Consolidated operating revenues increased significantly in the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 (“Current Year Quarter” and “Current Six Months,” respectively) as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 (“Prior Year Quarter” and “Prior Six Months,” respectively). Demand improved for vessels in Offshore Marine Services. Spill response activities increased in Environmental Services. The fleet grew and freight rates increased in Inland River Services. The acquisition of Era significantly increased the helicopter fleet in Helicopter Services.
Consolidated net income also increased significantly in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months due principally to those factors affecting the operating revenues and as a result of increased marketable security sales and foreign currency exchange gains that were reported in “Other, net” and equity earnings of 50% or less owned companies. Increased vessel sale gains in the first quarter of 2005 additionally improved profits in the Current Six Months.

Operating Revenues. An improvement in demand for offshore support services that began in the third quarter of 2004 continued through the Current Six Months. This improvement resulted in higher rates per day worked and utilization for Offshore Marine Services’ vessels, which increased operating revenues approximately $10.7 million and $21.7 million in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months, respectively. Of these increases, 75% and 80%, respectively, resulted from improved rates per day worked and 25% and 20%, respectively, resulted from improved vessel utilization. Rates per day worked and utilization improved for many of the Company’s vessels operating in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, offshore West Africa, the North Sea and Asia.
The Company continually assesses its asset portfolio and regularly buys, sells and charters vessels in an effort to align Offshore Marine Services’ fleet mix with the needs of customers. Adjustments in fleet mix have resulted in increased operating revenues of $4.6 million and $6.3 million in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months. Offshore Marine Services acquired four used anchor handling towing supply and one new crew vessel in the U.S. and sold six supply, two crew and one each anchor handling towing supply, towing supply and mini-supply vessel from its North Sea, West African and U.S. Gulf of Mexico fleets in the Current Six Months.
10
A net increase in the number of vessels entering time charter-out service upon concluding bareboat-out charter arrangements resulted in increased operating revenues of $2.3 million and $4.2 million in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months. Several of Offshore Marine Services’ vessels returned to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico for time-charter-out operations upon concluding bareboat charter-out activities in Latin America and Mexico.
A strengthening between comparable periods in the Pound Sterling currency relative to the U.S. dollar increased operating revenues of Offshore Marine Services’ North Sea operations by $0.4 million and $0.9 million in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months.
Improved results in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months were offset by decreased operating revenues earned in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico logistical operations of Offshore Marine Services.
Operating Income. Operating income increased significantly in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months. Improved rates per day worked and vessel utilization and fleet modernization contributed significantly to increased profitability in Offshore Marine Services. These improvements were partly offset by increased vessel operating expenses. Vessel repair and maintenance expenses, seamen redundancy costs associated with workforce reductions and fuel costs for foreign vessel operations increased in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months. Administrative expenses remained constant in the Current Year Quarter and declined slightly in the Current Six Months.
Results in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months included gains from asset sales of $1.8 million and $14.7 million, respectively, a decrease of $4.6 million and an increase of $4.9 million as compared to the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months. At dates of disposition, the aggregate carrying value for the 11 vessels sold in the Current Six Months was $92.6 million.
Although reported operating revenues increased due to the strengthening in the Pound Sterling currency relative to the U.S. dollar, currency exchange rate fluctuations had no material effect on operating income, because Offshore Marine Services also pays related operating expenses in that same currency.
The table below sets forth operational data for Offshore Marine Services during the periods indicated.

Operating Revenues. Results improved in both the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months due largely to increased spill response activities, retainer fees and expanded services internationally. Environmental Services completed its response in the Current Year Quarter to a major oil spill on the Delaware River that began in December 2004. Retainer fees charged by Environmental Services for ensuring by contract the availability of response services and equipment to customers were increased in the first quarter of 2005. Environmental Services commenced oil spill response services in the Caspian region in the third quarter of 2004.
Spill response activities approximated 20% and 36%, of Environmental Services operating revenues in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months, respectively, compared to 16% and 22% in the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months.
12
Operating Income. Results improved in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months due to improved operating revenues and profitability on spill response and retainer activities.
The operating results of Environmental Services are very dependent on the number of spills in a given period and the magnitude of each spill. Consequently, spill response revenues and related profits can vary materially between comparable periods, and the operating revenues and profits earned in any one period are not indicative of a trend or of anticipated results in future periods.
Cost of oil spill response activities can include payments to sub-contractors for labor, equipment and materials and/or the direct charge of labor, equipment and materials provided by Environmental Services. Profits earned on equipment intensive responses tend to be better than profits earned on labor intensive responses. The cost of equipment is largely fixed in relation to the capital investment whereas the cost of labor is variable. Further, labor costs can increase significantly when overtime payments are required as is typically in the case with emergency responses that occur outside of normal business hours. Profit margins can also vary based on the use of our own personnel and equipment resources versus the use of third party personnel and equipment.

Operating Revenues. Fleet expansion, as a consequence of additional barges and towboats entering service, significantly increased Inland River Services’ operating revenues in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months. Net fleet additions included 358 dry cargo hopper barges, 36 chemical tank barges and 3 towboats since the beginning of 2004. Fleet growth increased available operating barge days 53% in the Current Six Months.
Operating revenues also increased in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months due to rising freight rates for dry bulk commodities. Demand strengthened for non-grain commodity shipping capacity. Availability of dry cargo barges declined due to an aging industry-wide fleet. Freight rates additionally improved in the Current Six Months as a result of shortages in supply of dry cargo barges in the first quarter of 2005 caused by adverse river conditions.
As of June 30, 2005, Inland River Services operated a fleet of 1,114 dry cargo hopper barges, of which 719 were owned, 182 were chartered in, 207 were managed and 6 were six joint ventured. Inland River Services also owns 36 chemical tank barges and 6 towboats, 3 of which are joint-ventured.
Operating Income. Operating income increased in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months due to barge fleet expansion and improved profitability that resulted from increased freight rates. These operating income improvements were partly offset by higher operating expenses. Barge towing expenses increased significantly due primarily to rising fuel costs.

Twenty-two Era helicopters that support seasonal firefighting and flightseeing activities commenced operation in the Current Year Quarter. Additionally, Era’s maintenance expenses decreased between quarters as repairs were accelerated in the preceding quarter for helicopters entering seasonal service.
The operating results of Helicopter Services in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months included approximately $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of nonrecurring charges, principally associated with the integration of Era.
As of June 30, 2005, Helicopter Services operated a fleet of 99 owned, 16 leased-in and 1 managed helicopter.

Combined other income and expense activities improved profitability in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months. Net interest expense declined in 2005 as increased interest earnings on temporary cash investments exceeded rising interest expense that resulted from the Company’s sale in December 2004 of $250.0 million of its 2.875% convertible senior debentures. Losses recognized on derivative transactions in all reported periods related primarily to foreign currency contracts. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses in all reported periods resulted from the effect of currency exchange rate changes with respect to loans between SEACOR and certain of its foreign subsidiaries and other transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of various SEACOR subsidiaries. Marketable securities sale gains in all reported periods included net gains from the sale of equity and fixed income marketable securities and short-sale positions.
Income Taxes
As a result of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004, the Company believes it will be in the position to repatriate, for a limited time, accumulated foreign earnings at an effective federal tax rate of 5.25%, which would result in tax obligations significantly less than the deferred taxes previously provided for its unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The Company is exploring the full impact of the legislation and will finalize its repatriation plan during 2005. In accordance with FASB Staff Position FAS 109-2, the Company will recognize the income tax benefit of this special one-time dividends received deduction during the period that the Company has decided on a plan for repatriation.
14
Equity Earnings
Equity earnings increased $1.9 million, or 285%, to $2.6 million in the Current Year Quarter from $0.7 million in the Prior Year Quarter and $3.0 million, or 239%, to $4.2 million in the Current Six Months from $1.2 million in the Prior Six Months. Operating results improved in several entities in which the Company owns a 50% or less equity interest, including its bulk carrier joint venture and certain offshore marine and environmental joint ventures. Additionally, results for 2004 included a loss on the disposition of an Asian joint venture as well as an impairment charge relating to the Company’s investment in an entity that develops and sells software to the ship brokerage and shipping industry.
Loss from Discontinued Operations
On December 31, 2004, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Era, the owner of 81 helicopters and 16 fixed wing aircraft. Immediately following the acquisition of Era, the Company combined Era’s helicopter business with its pre-existing helicopter services and began a process to sell Era’s regional airline service business, including its fixed wing aircraft. Effective May 27, 2005, the Company sold Era’s regional airline service business, previously “held for sale,” for cash of $15.0 million. The operating results of the regional airline service business, including $15.3 million of operating revenues earned in the Current Six Months, have been reported as “Discontinued Operations” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
The Company’s ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from the funding of working capital needs, acquisition, construction or improvement of equipment, repayment of debt obligations, repurchase of Common Stock and purchase of other investments. Principal sources of liquidity are cash balances, marketable securities, construction reserve funds, cash flows from operations and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility although, from time to time, the Company may issue debt, shares of Common Stock, preferred stock, or a combination thereof, or sell vessels and other assets to finance the acquisition of equipment and businesses or make improvements to existing equipment. Fleet size, rates of hire and utilization of the Company’s offshore support vessels, inland barges and helicopters and the number and severity of oil spills managed by Environmental Services primarily determine the Company’s levels of operating cash flows.

Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities improved in the Current Six Months due primarily to improved operating results in all of the Company’s lines of business (see Consolidated Results of Operations discussion above).
Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities improved in the Current Six Months primarily from increased proceeds from equipment and marketable securities sales and as a result of withdrawals from construction reserve funds for future purchase of vessels or barges. These additional cash flows were partially offset by an increase in purchases of equipment and marketable securities.
15
Capital expenditures aggregated $145.0 million in the Current Six Months. Equipment deliveries during the period included 4 used anchor handling towing supply vessels and 1 new crew vessel, 45 new dry cargo covered hopper and 16 new chemical tank barges. Also in the Current Six Months, the Company sold 11 offshore support vessels, 4 helicopters, held for sale assets and other equipment for aggregate consideration of $112.3 million.
In the Current Six Months, the Company withdrew $50.9 million from its joint depository construction reserve fund accounts with consent of the Maritime Administration. The withdrawals reimbursed the Company for prior purchases of dry cargo hopper and chemical tank barges and an anchor handling towing supply vessel. These withdrawals were partly offset by the Company’s deposit into its joint depository construction reserve fund accounts of additional offshore support vessel sale proceeds and interest earned on invested fund balances.
Construction reserve fund accounts were established by the Company pursuant to Section 511 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended. In accordance with the statute, the Company has been permitted to deposit proceeds from the sale of certain vessels into the joint depository construction reserve fund accounts for the purpose of acquiring U.S. flag vessels and qualifying for the temporary deferral of taxable gains realized from the sale of vessels.
The Company’s unfunded capital commitments as of June 30, 2005 for new helicopters, new dry cargo covered hopper barges, new offshore support vessels and other equipment totaled $342.7 million. Of these commitments, up to approximately $160.0 million may be terminated without liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $3.0 million in the aggregate. Deliveries are expected in 2005 through 2009 for helicopters, 2006 through 2007 for barges, and 2005 for offshore support vessels. In addition to these purchase commitments, the Company has placed refundable deposits on additional new helicopters.
Financing Activities
Cash flows from financing activities improved in the Current Six Months due primarily to a reduction in purchases of Common Stock, increased borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility and additional cash received on exercise of stock options significantly offset by repayment of an obligation due an offshore vessel builder.
In the Current Six Months, the Company acquired a total of 84,647 shares of Common Stock for treasury at an aggregate cost of $5.6 million. As of June 30, 2005, $37.7 million of repurchase authority granted by the Company’s Board of Directors remains available for acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock and the Company’s 7.2% Notes and its 5-7/8% Notes. Securities are acquired from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions.
Financial Position
Total assets of the Company increased 2% to $1.8 billion in 2005. The Company’s combined cash, available-for-sale securities and construction reserve funds increased 8% to $533.4 million and represented 30% of total assets at June 30, 2005. Net property and equipment increased 1% to $934.2 million and represented 52% of the Company’s total assets at June 30, 2005. Net working capital increased 18% to $539.7 million in 2005. Since December 31, 2004, long-term debt increased $15.1 million to $597.5 million.
As of August 3, 2005, the Company had $132.8 million available under a five year, non-reducing, unsecured $200.0 million revolving credit facility that terminates in February 2007.
Short and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
The Company anticipates it will continue to generate positive cash flows from operations in the near term and these cash flows will be adequate to meet the Company’s working capital requirements and contribute toward defraying costs of its capital expenditures. As in the past and in further support of the Company’s acquisition and capital expenditure programs, the Company intends to sell vessels, enter into sale and leaseback transactions for vessels, utilize construction reserve funds, utilize borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility, or a combination thereof. To the extent the Company relies on existing cash balances, proceeds from the sale of available-for-sale securities or construction reserve funds, the Company’s liquidity would be reduced.
16
The Company’s long-term liquidity is dependent upon its ability to generate operating cash flows sufficient to meet its requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and a reasonable return on shareholders’ investment. The Company believes that earning such operating cash flows will permit it to maintain its access to favorably priced debt, equity and off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
Seabulk Merger
On July 1, 2005, SEACOR completed its merger with Seabulk International, Inc. (“Seabulk”). With a fleet of 144 vessels, Seabulk is a leading provider of marine support and transportation services, primarily to the energy and chemical industries. Seabulk’s offshore energy services fleet supports operators of offshore oil and gas exploration, development and production facilities in the Gulf of Mexico, the Arabian Gulf, offshore West Africa, South America and Southeast Asia. Seabulk’s tanker fleet, principally comprised of U.S.-flag ships, transports petroleum products, crude oil and chemicals. Seabulk’s marine towing fleet provides harbor towing services from ports in Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas and offshore towing services primarily in the Gulf of Mexico.
Under the terms of the merger agreement, Seabulk’s stockholders received 0.2694 shares of Common Stock, plus cash of $4.00 for each issued and outstanding share of Seabulk common stock. Based on SEACOR’s closing price of $64.30 on June 30, 2005, Seabulk stockholders have received $21.32 in SEACOR stock and cash for each share of Seabulk common stock exchanged. Seabulk stock ceased trading at the close of business on June 30, 2005.
The aggregate equity value of the transaction was approximately $521.7 million, based on SEACOR issuing 6,354,642 shares of Common Stock, 394,446 options to purchase Common Stock, plus additional cash consideration of approximately $94.4 million. The cash portion of the transaction was financed with $50.0 million of additional borrowings under SEACOR’s existing revolving credit facility and internally generated funds.
Contingencies
In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages, personal injuries and other matters. While the Company believes it has meritorious defenses against these claims, management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company’s estimates of that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position or results of its operations.
A subsidiary of SEACOR has received a document subpoena from the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. This subpoena relates to a grand jury investigation of potential antitrust violations among providers of helicopter transportation services in the Gulf of Mexico. The Company believes that this subpoena is part of a broader industry inquiry and that the other providers also have received such subpoenae. Seacor intends to provide all information requested in the response to this investigation.
New Accounting Pronouncement
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Statement No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Statement 123 (R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and amends FASB Statement No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. Statement 123 (R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values. The impact of adopting Statement 123 (R) cannot be predicted at this time because it will depend on levels of share-based payments granted in the future. However, had the Company adopted Statement 123 (R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of the SFAS 123 disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share presented in note 13 of the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report. The Company will adopt the provisions of Statement 123 (R) on January 1, 2006 using the “modified prospective” approach, recognizing compensation expense for all unvested employee stock options as of that date and for all subsequent employee stock options granted thereafter.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There has been no significant change in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the six-months ended June 30, 2005. For discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of June 30, 2005. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2005.
In conducting management's evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting, the operations of Era, acquired on December 31, 2004, were excluded. This business constituted approximately $106 million of total assets as of June 30, 2005.
The Company has recently completed the implementation of a suite of software applications used to accumulate financial data for reporting the business activities of an Environmental Services’ West Coast operation and Helicopter Services’ Era operations. This software application implementation was not made in response to any deficiency in the Company’s internal controls and the same suite of software applications have been generally used in the Company’s worldwide operation since the beginning of 2003.
Except for the preceding change, there was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Current Six Months that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
