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 year ended December 31, 2006.
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.
Certain reclassifications of prior period information have been made to conform to the presentation of the current period.
2. Business Acquisitions
Waxler Acquisition. On March 13, 2007, the Company acquired all of the assets and certain liabilities of Waxler Transportation Company, Inc. and Waxler Towing Company, Incorporated (collectively referred to as “Waxler”), as well as certain assets from Waxler affiliates. The acquisition price was $32.5 million, including 202,972 shares of SEACOR common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) valued at $19.1 million based upon the closing price of Common Stock on March 13, 2007 of $94.15 per share, plus additional cash consideration of $13.4 million. Acquired assets included 14 tank barges and eight towboats. In addition, the Company assumed leases on two other tank barges. The Company has performed a preliminary fair value analysis and the purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair value, with the excess of purchase price over fair value recorded as goodwill in the amount of $3.7 million. Further changes to the preliminary fair value analysis may be made as the valuation of assets and liabilities are finalized and additional information becomes available, primarily related to the fair value of acquired equipment, identifiable intangible assets and income tax obligations.
Vensea Acquisition. On January 31, 2007, the Company acquired its partner’s 50% interest in VENSEA Marine, SRL (“Vensea”), an owner of one offshore marine vessel in Latin America, for $0.7 million under the terms of a buyout option included in the joint venture’s operating agreement. Subsequent to the transaction, the Company owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of Vensea.
6
EraMed Acquisition. Effective January 5, 2007, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, EraMed LLC (“EraMed”), acquired the air medical business of Keystone Helicopter Corporation for $11.5 million. The final purchase price is subject to working capital adjustments as defined in the asset purchase agreement. At the time of acquisition, EraMed operated 33 light and medium twin engine helicopters, including four owned, ten leased-in and 19 managed, in support of hospital based air medical programs in the northeastern United States. The Company has performed a preliminary fair value analysis and the purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their estimated fair values, resulting in no goodwill being recorded. Further changes to the preliminary fair value analysis may be made as the valuation of assets and liabilities are finalized and additional information becomes available, primarily related to the fair value of acquired equipment and identifiable intangible assets.
RMA Acquisition. On October 1, 2006, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Response Management Associates, Inc. (“RMA”) for $12.5 million. The Company’s purchase price includes cash consideration of $8.0 million, a note payable of $3.5 million and accrued working capital payments of $1.0 million. The selling stockholder of RMA has the opportunity to receive additional consideration of up to $8.5 million based upon certain performance standards over the period from date of acquisition through September 30, 2012. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company completed its fair value analysis for the acquisition which resulted in goodwill in the amount of $3.4 million.
Purchase Price Allocation. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase prices for the above acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2007 (in thousands):
Trade and other receivables |
| $ | 9,484 |

| $ | 44,474 |
|
(1) Purchase price is net of $1.1 million cash acquired, includes acquisition costs totaling $0.9 million and includes issued Common Stock valued at $19.1 million.
3. Equipment Acquisitions, Dispositions and Depreciation Policy
Capital expenditures were $235.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007. Excluding the acquisition of equipment identified in Note 2 above, equipment deliveries during the period included six offshore services vessels, 35 dry cargo hopper barges, 15 deck barges, eleven helicopters and three harbor tugs.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company sold 22 offshore support vessels, 105 dry cargo hopper barges, three tank barges, four helicopters, construction contracts and other equipment for an aggregate consideration of $196.8 million and recognized net gains of $54.7 million.
7
Equipment, stated at cost, is depreciated using the straight line method over the estimated useful life of the asset, less estimated salvage value. With respect to each class of asset, the estimated useful life is typically based upon a newly built asset being placed into service and represents the point at which it is typically not justifiable for the Company to continue to operate the asset in the same or similar manner. From time to time, the Company may acquire older assets which have already exceeded the Company’s useful life policy, in which case the Company depreciates such assets based on its best estimate of remaining useful life, typically the next survey or certification date. In addition, the Company has retrofitted one and is in the process of retrofitting a second of its tankers with double-hulls to extend their useful lives beyond their original Oil Pollution Act 1990 (“OPA 90”) mandated retirement dates. As of June 30, 2007, the estimated useful lives (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new equipment are as follows:
Offshore Marine Vessels |
| 20 |
|
Tankers(1) |
| 25 |
|
Inland River Towboats and Barges |
| 20 - 25 |
|
Helicopters |
| 12 |
|
Harbor and Offshore Tugs |
| 40 |
|
(1) Subject to OPA 90 requirements.
4. Construction Reserve Funds
The Company has established, pursuant to Section 511 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended, joint depository construction reserve funds with the Maritime Administration. In accordance with this statute, the Company is 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. Withdrawals from the construction reserve fund accounts are only permitted with the consent of the Maritime Administration and the funds on deposit must be committed for expenditure within three years or be released for the Company’s general use.
As of June 30, 2007, construction reserve funds of $327.3 million are classified as non-current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as the Company has the intent and ability to use the funds to acquire equipment. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, construction reserve fund account transactions included withdrawals of $35.3 million, deposits of $21.5 million and earned interest of $9.4 million.
5. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company’s unfunded capital commitments as of June 30, 2007 consisted primarily of marine service vessels, harbor tugs, helicopters, barges and capital improvements to certain of its existing marine transportation fleet and totaled $516.4 million, of which $178.8 million is payable during the remainder of 2007 and the balance payable through 2010. Of these commitments, approximately $152.4 million may be terminated without further liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $2.5 million in the aggregate. Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the Company committed to purchase additional property and equipment for $102.5 million and reduced other unfunded capital commitments by $12.3 million through the sale of certain purchase contracts.
The Company has guaranteed the payment of amounts owed by one of its joint ventures under a vessel charter agreement that expires in 2011. 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, 2007, the total amount guaranteed by the Company was $7.2 million.

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 consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2005, a subsidiary of SEACOR 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 U. S. Gulf of Mexico. The Company believes that this subpoena is part of a broader industry inquiry and that other providers have also received such subpoena. SEACOR intends to provide all information requested in response to this investigation.
Under United States law, “United States persons” are prohibited from business activities and contracts in certain countries, including Sudan and Iran. Relating to the prohibitions, Seabulk International, Inc. (“Seabulk”), a subsidiary of the Company acquired in July 2005, filed three reports with and submitted documents to the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury in December 1999 and January and May 2002. One of the reports was also filed with the Bureau of Export Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The reports and documents related to certain limited charters with third parties involving three Seabulk vessels which called in Sudan for several months in 1999 and January 2000 and charters with third parties involving several of Seabulk’s vessels which called in Iran in 1998. In March 2003, Seabulk received notification from OFAC that the case has been referred to its Civil Penalties Division. Should OFAC determine that these activities constituted violations of the laws or regulations, civil penalties, including fines, could be assessed against Seabulk or certain individuals who knowingly participated in such activity. The Company cannot predict the extent of such penalties; however, management does not believe the outcome of these matters will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Marine Transportation Services has had one of its tankers retrofitted to a double-hull configuration and has another tanker currently undergoing such a retrofit to enable each of them to continue to transport crude oil and petroleum products beyond their OPA 90 mandated retirement dates in 2011. Both vessels operate in the U.S. coastwise, or Jones Act, trade, which is restricted to vessels built or rebuilt in the United States. The retrofit work has been and is being completed in a foreign shipyard. In May 2005, the Company received a determination from the National Vessel Documentation Center (“NVDC”) of the U.S. Coast Guard, which administers the U.S. build requirements of the Jones Act. The determination, which the Company relied upon to commence the retrofit in a foreign shipyard, concluded the retrofits would not constitute a foreign rebuilding and therefore would not jeopardize the tankers’ eligibility to operate in the U.S. coastwise trade. On April 25, 2007, Crowley Maritime Corp., another operator of tank vessels in the U.S. coastwise trade, filed an appeal asking the Commandant of the Coast Guard to reverse the NVDC’s May 2005 determination, which would render these two tankers ineligible to operate in the U.S. coastwise trade. Subsequently, on July 9, 2007, a U.S. shipbuilders trade association, Crowley Maritime Corp. and another operator of tankers in the U.S. coastwise trade commenced a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Shipbuilders Council of America, Inc., et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, et al., No. 1:07cv665 (E.D. Va.), in which they seek to have the court set aside the NVDC’s determination and direct the Coast Guard to revoke the coastwise license of the tanker whose retrofit has been completed. We believe the NVDC’s determination was correct and in accord with the Coast Guard’s long-standing regulations and interpretations. We have filed an unopposed motion to intervene in the action in which we intend to assist the Coast Guard in defending the NVDC’s determination.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company are participating employers in an industry-wide, multi-employer, defined benefit pension fund, the Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund (“MNOPF”), based in the United Kingdom. Under the direction of a court order, any deficit is to be remedied through future funding contributions from all participating employers. Deficits allocable to the Company relate to officers employed between 1978 and 2002 by SEACOR’s Stirling group of companies (which had been acquired by SEACOR in 2001) and its predecessors. An actuarial valuation of the MNOPF in 2003 determined there was a funding deficit totaling $412.0 million of which $4.4 million, representing the Company’s share of this deficit, was invoiced and recognized in 2005. Subsequent to this invoice, the pension fund trustees determined that $49.0 million of the $412.0 million 2003 valuation deficit was deemed uncollectible due to the non-existence or liquidation of certain participating employers. In March 2007, the Company received an invoice for its allocated portion of the 2003 uncollectible deficit in the amount of $0.6 million and correspondingly recognized this expense. In March 2006, the MNOPF underwent another actuarial valuation and determined that further contributions totaling $296.0 million may be required to ensure the fund would no longer be in a deficit position. The pension fund trustees are expected to complete the 2006 actuarial process in September 2007 by finalizing the allocation of the deficit to all participating employers. Depending on the results of the 2006 and future actuarial valuations, it is possible that the MNOPF will issue additional invoices requiring the Company to recognize payroll related operating expenses in the period invoices are received.
6. Long-Term Debt
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and the remaining availability under this facility was $298.6 million, net of issued letters of credit of $1.4 million. In addition, the Company had other outstanding letters of credit totaling $43.3 million with various expiration dates through 2010. On July 3, 2007, the unsecured revolving credit facility was amended to increase availability thereunder by $150.0 million, bringing the maximum available borrowing to $450.0 million.
7. Stock and Debt Repurchases
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company acquired 993,080 shares of Common Stock for treasury for an aggregate purchase price of $92.1 million. As of June 30, 2007, repurchase authority of $48.1 million granted by SEACOR’s Board of Directors remained available for acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock, SEACOR’s 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009, its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012, its 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024 and the 9.5% senior notes of Seabulk due 2013. Securities are acquired from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions.
Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the Company acquired 346,600 shares of Common Stock for treasury for an aggregate purchase price of $30.7 million. On July 31, 2007, SEACOR’s Board of Directors increased the repurchase authority to $100.0 million, of which $99.8 million remained available as of August 3, 2007.

8. Earnings Per Common Share
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, basic earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the relevant periods. Diluted earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive securities. In determining dilutive securities for this purpose the Company assumes, through the application of the treasury stock and if-converted methods, all restricted stock grants have vested, all common shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise of all outstanding stock options and all common shares have been issued pursuant to the conversion of all outstanding convertible notes. Diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 excluded 235,020 of certain share awards as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive. Diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 excluded 56,875 and 89,875, respectively, of certain share awards as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive. Computations of basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

11. New Accounting Pronouncements
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), to create a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and the adoption had no material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company accounts for interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in its income tax provision. The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns filed for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and therefore should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 sets out a fair value hierarchy and requires companies to disclose fair value measurements within that hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 155 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities, and certain nonfinancial instruments that are similar to financial instruments, at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

12. Segment Information
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. 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 year ended December 31, 2006. The following tables summarize the operating results and assets of the Company’s reportable segments. Certain reclassifications of prior period information have been made to conform to the current period’s segment presentation.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. 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, activity in foreign countries and changes in foreign political, military and economic conditions, the dependence of Offshore Marine Services, Marine Transportation Services and Aviation Services on several customers, industry fleet capacity, consolidation of our customer base, 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, increased competition if the Jones Act is repealed, safety record requirements related to Offshore Marine Services and Aviation Services, changes in foreign and domestic oil and gas exploration and production activity, operational risks of Offshore Marine Services, Marine Transportation Services, Harbor and Offshore Towing Services and Aviation Services, effects of adverse weather conditions and seasonality on Aviation Services, decreased demand for Marine Transportation Services and Harbor and Offshore Towing Services due to construction of additional refined petroleum product, natural gas or crude oil pipelines or due to decreased demand for refined petroleum products, crude oil or chemical products or a change in existing methods of delivery, future phase-out of our single-hull tankers, 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, liability in connection with providing spill response services, effects of adverse weather and river conditions and seasonality on Inland River Services, the level of grain export volume, the effect of fuel prices on barge towing costs, variability in freight rates for inland river barges, the effect of international economic and political factors in Inland River Service’s operations, adequacy of insurance coverage, compliance with government regulation, including environmental laws and regulations, 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. In addition, these statements constitute our cautionary statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider the following to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties. The words “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. We disclaim any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in our expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect our businesses, particularly those mentioned under “Risks, Uncertainties and Other Factors That May Affect Future Results” in Item 1A of our Form 10-K and “Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 7 of our Form 10-K and SEACOR’s periodic reporting on Form 8-K (if any), which we incorporate by reference.

Operating Revenues – Current Year Quarter compared to Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues increased $3.2 million primarily due to a 26.4% improvement in overall average day rates, partially offset by a 3.4% reduction in utilization and a 16.7% reduction in available days due to net fleet dispositions. Improvements in day rates contributed additional operating revenues of $27.9 million while the decline in fleet utilization and net fleet dispositions reduced operating revenues by $26.2 million. In addition, operating revenues increased $1.4 million due to favorable changes in currency exchange rates.
Operating Revenues – Current Six Months compared to Prior Six Months. Operating revenues increased $14.2 million primarily due to a 33.0% improvement in overall average day rates, partially offset by a 4.7% reduction in utilization and a 17.1% reduction in available days due to net fleet dispositions. Improvements in day rates contributed additional operating revenues of $65.6 million while the decline in fleet utilization and net fleet dispositions decreased operating revenues by $56.0 million. In addition, operating revenues increased $3.1 million due to favorable changes in currency exchange rates.

Operating Income – Current Year Quarter compared to Prior Year Quarter. Operating income for the Current Year Quarter included $38.5 million in gains on asset dispositions compared to gains of $22.5 million in the Prior Year Quarter. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income increased $8.1 million in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to the overall increase in operating revenues discussed above, a decrease in depreciation expense for vessels reaching the end of their depreciable lives and cost reductions from net fleet dispositions. These improvements were partially offset by increased wage and benefit costs as a result of a tight labor market and increased repair and maintenance costs from continued high utilization of our vessels.
Operating Income – Current Six Months compared to Prior Six Months. Operating income for the Current Six Months included $46.8 million in gains on asset dispositions compared to gains of $43.0 million in the Prior Six Months. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income increased $10.9 million in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to the overall increase in operating revenues discussed above, a decrease in depreciation expense for vessels reaching the end of their depreciable lives and cost reductions from net fleet dispositions. These improvements were partially offset by increased wage and benefit costs as a result of a tight labor market and increased repair and maintenance costs from continued high utilization of our vessels.
Equity in Earnings of 50% or Less Owned Companies. Equity earnings decreased $0.3 million in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter and $5.0 million in the Current Six Months compared to the Prior Six Months. During the Current Year Quarter, Offshore Marine Services recognized a gain of $4.1 million, net of tax, relating to the sale of its interest in an Egyptian joint venture. During the Prior Year Quarter, one of the its joint ventures sold a vessel to a third party and the segment’s share of the gain was $4.2 million, net of tax. In addition, the Prior Six Months included a gain of $4.5 million, net of tax, on the sale of its interest in a Mexican joint venture.
Fleet Count. The composition of Offshore Marine Services’ fleet as of June 30 was as follows:

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues decreased $11.5 million in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter and $18.7 million in the Current Six Months compared to the Prior Six Months. The decrease in operating revenues was due to increased off-hire time, the conversion of one vessel from time charter to a multi-year bareboat charter and lower contract of affreightment revenue. The increased off-hire time was primarily due to two vessels undergoing a retrofit to a double-hull configuration. One vessel returned to service in early June after having been off-hire since the fourth quarter of 2006, and the second vessel has been off-hire since March and is expected to return to service in the fourth quarter of 2007. Additionally, another vessel reached its OPA 90 mandated retirement date at the end of March 2007. The off-hire time for the two vessels undergoing a retrofit accounted for 53% of the decrease in operating revenues in the Current Year Quarter and the Current Six Months. The reduction in contract of affreightment revenue was primarily due to fewer vessels operating in the spot market. Operating revenues for vessels that were operating under time charters in both periods were higher due to improved day rates.
Operating Income (Loss). Operating results decreased $16.1 million in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter and $22.9 million in the Current Six Months compared to the Prior Six Months, as a result of the reduction in operating revenues noted above and higher docking expenditures.
Fleet Count. As of June 30, 2007, Marine Transportation Services owned ten Jones Act U.S. flag product tankers and operated nine in the domestic coastwise trade. One vessel ceased operations during the Current Six Months having reached its OPA 90 mandated retirement date. The Company is evaluating its commercial options for this vessel.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues decreased $8.3 million in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter and $16.1 million in the Current Six Months compared to the Prior Six Months. These decreases were due to the net reduction in fleet size primarily as a result of the sale or contribution of barges to joint ventures and the return of barges previously operated on a bareboat charter-in agreement. In both the Current Year Quarter and the Current Six Months, the impact of generally lower rates was substantially offset by higher volumes of cargo carried. Additionally, operating revenues were positively impacted by the 14 tank barges and eight towboats added through the Waxler acquisition at the end of March 2007.
Operating Income. Operating income decreased $2.4 million in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter and $3.6 million in the Current Six Months compared to the Prior Six Months primarily due to the reduction in operating revenues described above partially offset by gains on asset dispositions. The assets acquired through the Waxler acquisition had no significant impact on operating income in either the Current Year Quarter or the Current Six Months.
Equity in Earnings of 50% or Less Owned Companies. Equity earnings in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months result from the activities of an Inland River Services’ joint venture which owns a fleet of inland river transportation assets and a joint venture that operates a grain and liquid fertilizer storage and handling facility. Both ventures were formed during the fourth quarter of 2006.
Fleet Count. The composition of Inland River Services’ fleet as of June 30 was as follows:

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues increased $16.0 million in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter and $27.9 million in the Current Six Months compared to the Prior Six Months. The change in operating revenues was primarily due to the acquisition of an air medical services business (“EraMed”), the increased size of the fleet and an overall increase in rates in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. International revenue increased as newly delivered aircraft were placed on long-term leases outside of the United States.
Operating Income. Operating income increased $1.3 million in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter and $0.4 million in the Current Six Months compared to the Prior Six Months. The improvement in operating revenues noted above was partially offset by higher operating expenses and depreciation charges. The increased fleet size resulted in higher wage and benefit costs, higher repair and maintenance costs and together with the impact of EraMed, higher depreciation charges. Fuel costs increased as a consequence of more flight hours.
Fleet Count. At June 30, 2007, Aviation Services operated 39 aircraft in its air medical operation and had 15 aircraft operating outside of the United States under leases to third parties. The composition of Aviation Services’ fleet as of June 30 was as follows:

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues decreased $4.7 million in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter and $6.2 million in the Current Six Months compared to the Prior Six Months. Revenues from spill response activities were $11.5 million lower in the Current Year Quarter and $14.4 million lower in the Current Six Months due to a major oil spill response event in Lake Charles, LA in the Prior Year Quarter and the continuation of services in the Prior Six Months that began in the aftermath of the 2005 hurricanes. Additionally, revenues for retainer services were also lower. Revenues for project management and consulting activities were $6.6 million higher in the Current Year Quarter and $9.0 million higher in the Current Six Months primarily due to an expansion of services internationally and increased project and professional service activities in the United States. Operating revenues for environmental response equipment sales increased $1.7 million in the Current Year Quarter and the Current Six Months.
Operating Income. Operating income decreased $1.5 million in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter and $4.2 million in the Current Six Months compared to the Prior Six Months. The changes in operating income were primarily in response to lower operating revenues and the change in mix of operating revenues. Operating margins for spill response activities and retainer services in the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months were higher than operating margins for project management and consulting activities and equipment sales in the Current Year Quarter and the Current Six Months.

(“Seabulk”). Derivative transaction gains (losses), net in the Prior Six Months included additional losses on the interest rate swap assumed as part of the merger with Seabulk.
Marketable security transaction losses, net. Marketable security transaction losses, net increased in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months as compared to the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months primarily resulting from losses on short sales of marketable equity securities.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company’s ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from working capital needs, meeting its capital commitments and the repayment of debt obligations. In addition, the Company may use its liquidity to fund acquisitions, repurchase its Common Stock or purchase other investments. Sources of liquidity are cash balances, marketable securities, construction reserve funds, Title XI reserve funds, cash flows from operations and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. From time to time, the Company may secure additional liquidity through the issuance of debt, shares of Common Stock, preferred stock, or a combination thereof.

Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities increased in the Current Six Months compared to the Prior Six Months primarily due to decreases in working capital.
Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities increased in the Current Six Months compared to the Prior Six Months primarily from increased capital expenditures, increased net investments in business acquisitions and joint ventures, increased purchases of securities and higher restricted cash balances. These additional uses of cash were partially offset by increased proceeds from sales of securities and assets.
Capital expenditures were $235.5 million during the Current Six Months. Excluding equipment from business acquisitions, equipment deliveries during the Current Six Months included six offshore services vessels, 35 dry cargo hopper barges, 15 deck barges, eleven helicopters and three harbor tugs.
During the Current Six Months, the Company sold 22 offshore support vessels, 105 dry cargo hopper barges, three tank barges, four helicopters, construction contracts and other equipment for an aggregate consideration of $196.8 million and recognized net gains of $54.7 million.
The Company has established, pursuant to Section 511 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended, joint depository construction reserve funds with the Maritime Administration. In accordance with this statute, the Company is 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. Withdrawals from the construction reserve fund accounts are only permitted with the consent of the Maritime Administration and the funds on deposit must be committed for expenditure within three years or be released for the Company’s general use.
As of June 30, 2007, construction reserve funds of $327.3 million are classified as non-current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as the Company has the intent and ability to use the funds to acquire equipment. During the Current Six Months, construction reserve fund account transactions included withdrawals of $35.3 million, deposits of $21.5 million and earned interest of $9.4 million.
The Company’s unfunded capital commitments as of June 30, 2007, consisted primarily of marine service vessels, harbor tugs, helicopters, barges and capital improvements to certain of its existing marine transportation fleet and totaled $516.4 million, of which $178.8 million is payable during the remainder of 2007 and the balance payable through 2010. Of these commitments, approximately $152.4 million may be terminated without further liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $2.5 million in the aggregate. Subsequent to the end of the Current Year Quarter, the Company committed to purchase
24
additional property and equipment for $102.5 million and reduced other unfunded capital commitments by $12.3 million through the sale of certain purchase contracts.
Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities increased in the Current Six Months compared to the Prior Six Months primarily due to increased repurchases of Common Stock partially offset by lower payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations.
During the Current Six Months, the Company acquired 993,080 shares of Common Stock for treasury for an aggregate purchase price of $92.1 million. As of June 30, 2007, repurchase authority of $48.1 million granted by SEACOR’s Board of Directors remained available for acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock, SEACOR’s 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009, its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012, its 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024 and the 9.5% senior notes of Seabulk due 2013. Securities are acquired from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions.
Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the Company acquired 346,600 shares of Common Stock for treasury for an aggregate purchase price of $30.7 million. On July 31, 2007, SEACOR’s Board of Directors increased the repurchase authority to $100.0 million, of which $ 99.8 million remained available as of August 3, 2007.
During the Current Six Months, the Company made principal payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $15.6 million.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and the remaining availability under this facility was $298.6 million, net of issued letters of credit of $1.4 million. In addition, the Company had other outstanding letters of credit totaling $43.3 million with various expiration dates through 2010. On July 3, 2007, the unsecured revolving credit facility was amended to increase availability thereunder by $150.0 million, bringing the maximum available borrowing available to $450.0 million.
Short and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
The Company anticipates it will continue to generate positive cash flows from operations and that these cash flows will be adequate to meet the Company’s working capital requirements and contribute toward defraying costs of its capital expenditure program. As in the past and in further support of the Company’s capital expenditure program, the Company may use cash balances, sell securities, utilize construction reserve funds, sell additional vessels or other equipment, enter into sale and leaseback transactions for equipment, borrow under its revolving credit facility, issue debt or a combination thereof.
The Company’s long-term liquidity is dependent upon its ability to generate operating profits sufficient to meet its requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and a reasonable return on shareholders’ investment. The Company believes that earning such operating profits will permit it to maintain its access to favorably priced debt, equity or off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

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 consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In June 2005, a subsidiary of SEACOR 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 U. S. Gulf of Mexico. The Company believes that this subpoena is part of a broader industry inquiry and that other providers have also received such subpoena. SEACOR intends to provide all information requested in response to this investigation.
Under United States law, “United States persons” are prohibited from business activities and contracts in certain countries, including Sudan and Iran. Relating to the prohibitions, Seabulk International, Inc. (“Seabulk”), a subsidiary of the Company, filed three reports with and submitted documents to the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury in December 1999 and January and May 2002. One of the reports was also filed with the Bureau of Export Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The reports and documents related to certain limited charters with third parties involving three Seabulk vessels which called in Sudan for several months in 1999 and January 2000 and charters with third parties involving several of Seabulk’s vessels which called in Iran in 1998. In March 2003, Seabulk received notification from OFAC that the case has been referred to its Civil Penalties Division. Should OFAC determine that these activities constituted violations of the laws or regulations, civil penalties, including fines, could be assessed against Seabulk or certain individuals who knowingly participated in such activity. The Company cannot predict the extent of such penalties; however, management does not believe the outcome of these matters will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Marine Transportation Services has had one of its tankers retrofitted to a double-hull configuration and has another tanker currently undergoing such a retrofit to enable each of them to continue to transport crude oil and petroleum products beyond their OPA 90 mandated retirement dates in 2011. Both vessels operate in the U.S. coastwise, or Jones Act, trade, which is restricted to vessels built or rebuilt in the United States. The retrofit work has been and is being completed in a foreign shipyard. In May 2005, the Company received a determination from the National Vessel Documentation Center (“NVDC”) of the U.S. Coast Guard, which administers the U.S.-build requirements of the Jones Act. The determination, which the Company relied upon to commence the retrofit in a foreign shipyard, concluded the retrofits would not constitute a foreign rebuilding and therefore would not jeopardize the tankers’ eligibility to operate in the U.S. coastwise trade. On April 25, 2007, Crowley Maritime Corp., another operator of tank vessels in the U.S. coastwise trade, filed an appeal asking the Commandant of the Coast Guard to reverse the NVDC’s May 2005 determination, which would render these two tankers ineligible to operate in the U.S. coastwise trade. Subsequently, on July 9, 2007, a U.S. shipbuilders trade association, Crowley Maritime Corp. and another operator of tankers in the U.S. coastwise trade commenced a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Shipbuilders Council of America, Inc., et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, et al., No. 1:07cv665 (E.D. Va.), in which they seek to have the court set aside the NVDC’s determination and direct the Coast Guard to revoke the coastwise license of the tanker whose retrofit has been completed. We believe the NVDC’s determination was correct and in accord with the Coast Guard’s long-standing regulations and interpretations. We have filed an unopposed motion to intervene in the action in which we intend to assist the Coast Guard in defending the NVDC’s determination.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company are participating employers in an industry-wide, multi-employer, defined benefit pension fund, the Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund (“MNOPF”), based in the United Kingdom. Under the direction of a court order, any deficit is to be remedied through future funding contributions from all participating employers. Deficits allocable to the Company relate to officers employed between 1978 and 2002 by SEACOR’s Stirling group of companies (which had been acquired by SEACOR in 2001) and its predecessors. An actuarial valuation of the MNOPF in 2003 determined there was a funding deficit totaling $412.0 million of which $4.4 million, representing the Company’s share of this deficit, was invoiced and recognized in 2005. Subsequent to this invoice, the pension fund trustees determined that $49.0 million of the $412.0 million 2003 valuation deficit was deemed uncollectible due to the non-existence or liquidation of certain participating employers. In March 2007, the Company received an invoice for its allocated portion of the 2003 uncollectible deficit in the amount of $0.6 million and correspondingly recognized this expense. In March 2006, the MNOPF underwent another actuarial valuation and determined that further contributions totaling $296.0 million may be required to ensure the fund would no longer be in a deficit position. The pension fund trustees are expected to complete the 2006 actuarial process in September 2007 by finalizing the allocation of the deficit to all participating employers. Depending on the results of the 2006 and future actuarial valuations, it is possible that the MNOPF will issue additional invoices requiring the Company to recognize payroll related operating expenses in the period invoices are received.
New Accounting Pronouncements
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), to create a single model to address accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for income taxes by prescribing the minimum recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, measurement, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company adopted FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 and the adoption had no material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations. The Company accounts for interest and penalties relating to uncertain tax positions in its income tax provision. The Internal Revenue Service is currently examining the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns filed for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.
On September 15, 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (“SFAS No. 157”). SFAS No. 157 provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement, and therefore should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. SFAS No. 157 sets out a fair value hierarchy and requires companies to disclose fair value measurements within that hierarchy. SFAS No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 155 (“SFAS No. 159”). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities, and certain nonfinancial instruments that are similar to financial instruments, at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company has not yet determined the impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 159 will have on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
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 year ended December 31, 2006. There has been no significant change in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the Current Year Quarter except as described below.
As of June 30, 2007, the Company held positions in short sales of marketable equity securities with a fair value of $100.5 million. The Company’s short sales of marketable equity securities primarily include positions in energy, marine, transportation and other related businesses. A 10% increase in the value of equity securities underlying the short sale positions of the Company as of June 30, 2007 would reduce income and comprehensive income by $6.5 million, net of tax. Additionally, a certain joint venture, of which the Company owns a 50% interest, held positions in short sales of marketable equity securities with a fair value of $14.3 million as of June 30, 2007. The joint venture’s short sales of marketable equity securities are positions in the transportation business. A 10% increase in the value of the equity securities underlying the short sale positions of the joint venture as of June 30, 2007 would reduce the Company’s income and comprehensive income by $0.5 million, net of tax.
The Company has entered into and settled various positions in forward exchange, option and future contracts with respect to British Pounds Sterling, Euros, Japanese Yen, Indian Rupees, South African Rand, Arab Emirates Dirham and Singapore Dollars. These contracts enable the Company to buy these currencies in the future at fixed exchange rates which could offset possible consequences of changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Company’s business transactions conducted in Europe, the Middle East, the Far East and Africa. Certain of the foreign currency forward contracts with a notional value of €69.7 million have been designated as fair value hedges for capital commitments. During the Current Six Months the Company recognized net derivative transaction losses of $0.2 million and reduced its capital commitment obligations by $2.8 million as a result of these foreign currency forward contracts.
Subsequent to June 30, 2007, the Company entered into additional foreign currency forward contracts including positions in the Malaysian Ringgit and has designated certain of the foreign currency forward contracts with a notional value of €65.3 million as a fair value hedge of a capital commitment.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
With the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer management 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, 2007. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2007.
There have been no changes 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 Year Quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
