Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on April 13, 2004. Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust, or the Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, was also formed on April 13, 2004. Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, both on an individual entity basis and together with its wholly owned subsidiaries, is referred to in these financial statements as the Company. Prior to December 21, 2004, the Trust was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., or MIMUSA. MIMUSA, the Companys Manager, is a subsidiary of the Macquarie Group of companies, which is comprised of Macquarie Bank Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide. Macquarie Bank Limited is headquartered in Australia and is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.
The Trust and the Company were formed to own, operate and invest in a diversified group of infrastructure businesses in the United States and other developed countries. On June 25, 2007, all of the outstanding shares of trust stock issued by the Trust were exchanged for an equal number of limited liability company interests in the Company, and the Trust was dissolved. Prior to this exchange of trust stock for limited liability company interests and the dissolution of the Trust, all interests in the Company were held by the Trust. The Company continues to be an operating entity with a Board of Directors and other corporate governance responsibilities generally consistent with that of a Delaware corporation.
The Company owns airport services, gas production and distribution, district energy and airport parking businesses and an interest in a bulk liquid storage terminal business, through the Companys wholly-owned subsidiary, MIC Inc.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Companys major acquisitions were as follows:
(i) | On May 1, 2006, the Company completed its acquisition of 50% of the shares in IMTT Holdings Inc., the holding company for a bulk liquid storage terminal business operating as International-Matex Tank Terminals, or IMTT. |
(ii) | On June 7, 2006, the Company acquired The Gas Company, or TGC, a Hawaii limited liability company that owns and operates the sole regulated synthetic natural gas, or SNG, production and distribution business in Hawaii, and distributes and sells liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG, through unregulated operations. |
(iii) | On July 11, 2006, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the shares of Trajen Holdings, Inc., or Trajen. Trajen is the holding company for a group of companies, limited liability companies and limited partnerships that own and operate 23 fixed based operations, or FBOs, at airports in 11 states. |
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Companys acquisition was as follows:
(iv) | On May 30, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the interests in entities that own and operate two FBOs at Stewart International Airport in New York and Santa Monica Municipal Airport in California, together referred to as Supermarine. |
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company, through its wholly-owned Delaware limited liability companies, sold its interests in non U.S. businesses. On August 17, 2006, the Company completed the sale of all of its 16.5 million stapled securities of the Macquarie Communications Infrastructure Group (ASX:MCG). On October 2, 2006, the Company sold its 17.5% minority interest in the holding company for South East Water, or SEW, a regulated clean water utility located in the U.K. On December 29, 2006, the Company sold Macquarie Yorkshire Limited, the holding company for its 50% interest in Connect M1-A1 Holdings Limited, which is the indirect holder of the Yorkshire Link toll road concession in the U.K.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with the
5
instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions. Management evaluates these estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the financial statements and notes. Operating results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2006 has been derived from audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
The interim financial information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2006 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on March 1, 2007.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This interpretation addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under FIN 48, the Company may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, accounting in interim periods and requires increased disclosures. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recorded a $510,000 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which is offset by a reduction of the deferred tax liability of $109,000, resulting in a decrease to the January 1, 2007 retained earnings balance of $401,000. Refer to Note 14, Income Taxes, for additional details.
The following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted number of shares used in computing earnings (loss) per share:
Quarter Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||
2007 | 2006 | 2007 | 2006 | |||||||||||||
Weighted average number of shares outstanding: basic | 37,562,165 | 27,062,201 | 37,562,165 | 27,056,505 | ||||||||||||
Dilutive effect of restricted stock unit grants | | 10,815 | | 13,330 | ||||||||||||
Weighted average number of shares outstanding: diluted | 37,562,165 | 27,073,016 | 37,562,165 | 27,069,835 |
The stock grants provided to our independent directors on May 25, 2006 and May 24, 2007 were anti-dilutive for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 due to the Companys net loss for these periods.
The effect of potentially dilutive shares for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006 is calculated by assuming that the restricted stock unit grants issued to the independent directors had been fully converted to shares on the date of grant.

On May 30, 2007, the Companys airport services business, completed the acquisition of 100% of the interests in entities that own and operate two FBOs at Santa Monica Municipal Airport in Santa Monica, California and Stewart International Airport in New Windsor, New York (together referred to as Supermarine).
The cost of the acquisition, including transaction costs, was $89.6 million. In addition, the Company incurred debt financing costs of $520,000, pre-funding of capital expenditures and integration costs of $300,000 and provided for a debt service reserve of $454,000. The Company financed the acquisition with $32.5 million of borrowings under an expansion of the airport services business credit facility, and the remainder with cash. Refer to Note 8, Long-Term Debt, for further details of the additional term loan facility.
Macquarie Securities (USA) Inc., or MSUSA, a subsidiary of Macquarie Bank Limited, acted as financial advisor to the Company on the acquisition, as well as on the financing of the transaction. Total fees of approximately $1.5 million were paid for these services and are included within transaction costs disclosed above.
The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of Supermarine are included in the accompanying consolidated condensed statement of income and as a component of the Companys airport services business segment since May 30, 2007.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price, including transaction costs, was as follows (in thousands):
Current assets | $ | 3,587 | ||
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements | 19,803 | |||
Intangible assets: |
||||
Customer relationships | 1,600 | |||
Contract rights | 37,900 | |||
Non-compete agreements | 1,100 | |||
Goodwill | 26,869 | |||
Total assets acquired | 90,859 | |||
Current liabilities | 1,233 | |||
Net assets acquired | $ | 89,626 |
The Company paid more than the fair value of the underlying net assets as a result of the expectation of its ability to earn a higher rate of return from the acquired business than would be expected if those net assets had to be acquired or developed separately. The value of the acquired intangible assets was determined by taking into account risks related to the characteristics and applications of the assets, existing and future markets and analysis of expected future cash flows to be generated by the business.
The Company allocated $1.6 million of the purchase price to customer relationships in accordance with EITF 02-17,Recognition of Customer Relationship Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination. The Company will amortize the amount allocated to customer relationships over a ten-year period.
The following unaudited pro forma information summarizes the results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as if the acquisition of Supermarine had been completed as of January 1, 2007. The pro forma data gives effect to actual operating results prior to the acquisitions and adjustments to interest expense,
7
amortization, depreciation and income taxes. No effect has been given to cost reductions or operating synergies in this presentation. These pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been achieved if the acquisitions had occurred as of the beginning of the periods presented or that may be achieved in the future.
Pro forma consolidated revenues and net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2007, if the acquisition of Supermarine had occurred on January 1, 2007, would have been $357.8 million and a loss of $15.8 million, respectively. Basic and diluted loss per share would have been $0.42 if such acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2007.
On April 16, 2007, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Mercury Air Centers, Inc., or Mercury, and its equity holders providing for:
| the Companys purchase (through its airport services business) on the closing date of 89% of the equity of Mercury (representing 100% of the common stock of Mercury at closing) from Allied Capital Corporation, Directional Aviation Group, LLC and David Moore; |
| the Companys purchase on the closing date of a call option to acquire the remaining 11% of the equity of Mercury (in the form of voting preferred shares) from Kenneth Ricci, exercisable from October 1, 2007 through October 31, 2007, pursuant to an option agreement to be entered into at closing; and |
| the Companys grant of a put option under the option agreement to Mr. Ricci to sell the Company his 11% of the equity of Mercury, exercisable from April 1, 2008 to April 30, 2008. |
On June 12, 2007, the Company entered into an amendment of the stock purchase agreement, to reflect Mercury, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entering into an agreement to purchase 100% of the membership interests in SJJC Aviation Services, LLC, or SJJC, from San Jose Jet Center Inc. and ACM Aviation Inc. The closing of the acquisition of SJJC by Mercury is conditioned on either the Companys closing of its acquisition of Mercury or the termination of the Companys acquisition of Mercury. In the event of a termination or failure to close the acquisition of Mercury by November 1, 2007, Mercury is obligated to assign to the Company all of its rights and obligations under the SJJC agreement. As a result, the Company has effectively entered into an agreement to acquire SJJC.
Mercury owns and operates 24 FBOs in the U.S. and SJJC operates two FBOs at Mineta San Jose International Airport in California. The aggregate purchase price of all the acquisitions described above is $615.0 million, subject to working capital and capital expenditure adjustments, and including approximately $36.9 million of transaction costs, integration costs and reserve funding. The Company intends to fund a portion of the acquisition with $272.0 million two-year term loan borrowings by Mercury and SJJC with the balance funded with the proceeds from the Companys equity offering in July 2007.
The Company expects to close the transaction in August 2007. MSUSA is acting as financial advisor on the transaction.
The Company has received commitment letters from The Governor and Company of Bank of Ireland and Bayerische Landesbank, New York Branch to provide credit facilities consisting of $272.0 million of term loans and a $17.5 million capital expenditure facility. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.70%. The facilities will be individually secured by all of the assets of Mercury and SJJC and a portion of the facilities will also be guaranteed by the airport services business holding company.

The Company capitalizes its operating businesses separately using non-recourse, project finance style debt. In addition, it has a credit facility at its subsidiary, MIC Inc., primarily to finance acquisitions and capital expenditures. At June 30, 2007, the Company had no indebtedness outstanding at the MIC LLC or MIC Inc. level.
The airport services business amended its credit facility in February 2007 to provide for $32.5 million of additional term loan borrowings to partially finance the acquisition of Supermarine. The airport services business drew on this additional facility on May 30, 2007, when the acquisition closed. The terms of the facility remain the same, including repayment due in 2010, except that the required minimum adjusted EBITDA increased to $78.2 million for 2007 and $84.1 million for 2008. To hedge the interest commitments under the term loan expansion, MIC Inc. entered into a swap with Macquarie Bank Limited, fixing 100% of the term loan expansion at the following rate:
Start Date | End Date | Rate | ||||
March 30, 2007 | December 12, 2010 | 5.2185% |
The swap was transferred to the airport services business at the completion of the acquisition on May 30, 2007.
The Company has also received commitment letters from various banks to provide credit facilities to fund the upcoming acquisitions of Mercury and SJJC. Further details are provided in Note 5, Acquisitions.
During 2006, the Company determined that its derivatives did not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. We revised our summarized quarterly financial information to eliminate hedge accounting treatment resulting in all changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments being taken through earnings.
Effective January 2, 2007, changes in the fair value of interest rate derivatives designated as hedging instruments that effectively offset the variability of cash flows associated with variable-rate, long-term debt obligations are reported in other comprehensive income. Any ineffective portion on the change in the valuation of our derivatives is taken through earnings, and reported in the gain on derivative instruments line in the accompanying consolidated condensed statements of operations.
Total comprehensive loss for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 was $17.5 million and $11.3 million, respectively. These amounts are included in the accumulated other comprehensive income on the Companys consolidated condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2007. The difference between net loss of $25.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 and comprehensive loss is primarily attributable to an
10
unrealized gain on derivative instruments of $7.5 million. The difference between net loss of $17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and comprehensive loss is primarily attributable to an unrealized gain on derivative instruments of $5.9 million.
The Company is authorized to issue 500,000,000 limited liability company, or LLC, interests. Each outstanding LLC interest of the Company is entitled to one vote on any matter with respect to which holders of LLC interests are entitled to vote.
On June 25, 2007, all of the outstanding shares of trust stock issued by the Trust were exchanged for an equal number of LLC interests in the Company and the Trust was dissolved. Prior to this exchange and the dissolution of the Trust, all interests in the Company were held by the Trust.
On June 28, 2007, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement, dated June 28, 2007 (the Purchase Agreement), among the Company, MIMUSA and Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Merrill Lynch & Co., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Macquarie Securities (USA) Inc., as representatives of the underwriters named in the Purchase Agreement (the Underwriters), whereby the Company and MIMUSA agreed to sell and the Underwriters agreed to purchase, subject to and upon terms and conditions set forth therein, 5,701,000 LLC interests and 599,000 LLC interests, respectively, of the Company under the Companys existing shelf registration statement (Registration No. 333-138010-01). Additionally, under the Purchase Agreement, the Company granted the Underwriters an option to purchase up to 945,000 additional LLC interests solely to cover overallotments.
The offering of the LLC interests was priced at $40.99 per share. The equity offering was completed in July 2007 and generated $223.8 million in proceeds to the Company, net of underwriting fees and expenses. In addition, the Underwriters exercised their overallotment option for 464,871 limited liability interests, generating $18.2 million in net proceeds, which the Company received in August 2007. The Company plans to use the proceeds of the offering to partially finance the acquisition of Mercury and SJJC discussed in Note 5, Acquisitions.
The Companys operations are classified into four reportable business segments: airport services business, gas production and distribution business, district energy business and airport parking business. The gas production and distribution business is a new segment starting in the second quarter of 2006. All of the business segments are managed separately.
The Company completed its acquisition of a 50% interest in IMTT on May 1, 2006. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, IMTTs revenue, gross profit, depreciation and amortization, and cash paid for capital expenditures were $66.3 million, $26.7 million, $9.0 million and $44.2 million, respectively. At June 30, 2007, IMTTs total property, plant and equipment and total assets were $606.2 million and $668.4 million, respectively. In accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, IMTT does not meet the definition of a reportable segment because it is an equity-method investee of the Company.
The airport services business reportable segment principally derives income from fuel sales and from airport services. Airport services revenue includes fuel related services, de-icing, aircraft parking, airport management and other aviation services. All of the revenue of the airport services business is derived in the United States. The airport services business operates 42 FBOs and one heliport and manages six airports under management contracts as of June 30, 2007.
11
The revenue from the gas production and distribution business reportable segment is included in revenue from product sales and includes distribution and sales of SNG and LPG. Revenue is primarily a function of the volume of SNG and LPG consumed by customers and the price per thermal unit or gallon charged to customers. Because both SNG and LPG are derived from petroleum, revenue levels, without organic operating growth, will generally track global oil prices. TGCs utility revenue includes fuel adjustment charges, or FACs, through which changes in fuel costs are passed through to customers.
The revenue from the district energy business reportable segment is included in service revenue and financing and equipment lease income. Included in service revenue is capacity charge revenue, which relates to monthly fixed contract charges, and consumption revenue, which relates to contractual rates applied to actual usage. Financing and equipment lease income relates to direct financing lease transactions and equipment leases to the Companys various customers. The Company provides such services to buildings throughout the downtown Chicago area and to a casino and shopping mall located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The revenue from the airport parking business reportable segment is included in service revenue and primarily consists of fees from off-airport parking and ground transportation to and from the parking facilities and the airport terminals. At June 30, 2007, the airport parking business operated 30 off-airport parking facilities located at 20 major airports across the United States.
Selected information by reportable segment is presented in the following tables. The tables do not include financial data for our equity and cost investments.

MIMUSA acquired 2,000,000 shares of trust stock concurrently with the closing of the initial public offering in December 2004, with an aggregate purchase price of $50.0 million, at a purchase price per share equal to the initial public offering price of $25, which were exchanged for LLC interests on June 25, 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreement (discussed below), MIMUSA may sell up to 65% of these LLC interests at any time and may sell the balance at any time from and after December 21, 2007 (being the third anniversary of the IPO closing). MIMUSA has also received additional shares of trust stock and LLC interests by reinvesting performance fees. As part of the equity offering which closed in July, 2007, MIMUSA sold 599,000 of its shares at a price of $40.99 per share.
The Company entered into a management services agreement, or Management Agreement, with MIMUSA pursuant to which MIMUSA manages the Company's day-to-day operations and oversees the management teams of the Company's operating businesses. In addition, MIMUSA has the right to appoint the Chairman of the Board of the Company, and an alternate, subject to minimum equity ownership, and to assign, or second, to the Company, on a permanent and wholly-dedicated basis, employees to assume the role of Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and make other personnel available as required.
In accordance with the Management Agreement, MIMUSA is entitled to a quarterly base management fee based primarily on the Company's market capitalization and a performance fee, as defined, based on the performance of the Companys stock relative to a weighted average of two benchmark indices, a U.S. utilities index and a European utilities index, weighted in proportion to the Companys equity investments. Currently, the Company has no non-U.S. equity investments. For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, base management fees of $6.0 million and performance fees of $43.0 million were payable to MIMUSA. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, base management and performance fees were $10.6 million and $44.0 million, respectively. These fees are included as due to manager in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2007. MIMUSA has elected to reinvest these performance fees in shares of LLC interests, which are expected to be issued in the second half of 2007 at a market-based price.
17
MIMUSA is not entitled to any other compensation and all costs incurred by MIMUSA including compensation of seconded staff, are paid out of its management fee. However, the Company is responsible for other direct costs including, but not limited to, expenses incurred in the administration or management of the Company and its subsidiaries and investments, income taxes, audit and legal fees, and acquisitions and dispositions and its compliance with applicable laws and regulations.
During the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007, MIMUSA paid out of pocket expenses of $89,000 and $146,000, respectively, on the Companys behalf which the Company has accrued and included in due to manager in the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2007.

Acquisition of Supermarine |
||||

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company also paid an additional $119,000 for advisory services provided by MSUSA in 2006 in relation to the acquisition of TGC, due to finalization of the working capital adjustment on the purchase price.
The Company has entered into advisory agreements with MSUSA relating to the pending FBO acquisitions discussed in Note 5, Acquisitions. No fees have been paid as of June 30, 2007. The Company expects to pay approximately $7.8 million for advisory services when these acquisitions close.
The Company has also engaged MSUSA to receive debt arranging services in relation to the potential refinancing of the airport services business and district energy business debt. The Company expects to pay approximately $6.3 million and $1.6 million for debt arranging services on these two engagements, respectively.
MSUSA was also one of the underwriters for the Companys equity offering in July 2007 and will receive a portion of the underwriting fees, net of costs, for its services.

Portion of revolving credit facility commitment provided by MBL, as at June 30, 2007 | $ | 50,000 | ||
Portion of loan outstanding from MBL, as at June 30, 2007 | |
18
In April 2007, MBL assigned to a third party all of its rights and obligations under the agreement related to $50.0 million of its aggregate commitment, which was originally $100.0 million.
The Company also expects to pay MBL approximately $200,000 in relation to the financing commitments provided for the acquisitions of Mercury and SJJC, which are due to close in August 2007.
MBL is providing over one-half of the interest rate swaps for the airport services business long-term debt and made net payments to the airport services business of $274,000 and $463,000, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007. In January 2007, the airport services business also paid MBL $40,000 on an interest rate swap relating to 2006.
MBL is also providing a portion of the interest rate swaps relating to the debt on the Mercury and SJJC acquisitions disclosed in Note 5, Acquisitions, for which no payments have been made or received as of June 30, 2007.
MBL is also providing just under one-third of the interest rate swaps for the gas production and distribution business long-term debt and made payments to the gas production and distribution business of $78,000 and $141,000, respectively, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007.
Through the year ended December 31, 2006, Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust was classified as a grantor trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and therefore was not subject to income taxes. The Company was treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and was also not subject to income taxes. MIC Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are subject to income taxes. In connection with the dissolution of the Trust, the Company has agreed with the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, that the Company will be treated as a corporation retroactive to January 1, 2007, subject to final documentation. As such, the Company will be subject to income taxes, and expects to file a consolidated federal income tax return with MIC Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. The tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2007 includes a net benefit of approximately $550,000 attributable to the loss of MIC LLC for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, since under the terms of the agreement MIC LLC will be treated as a corporation retroactive to the beginning of 2007.
The Company expects to incur a net operating loss for federal consolidated return purposes, as well as certain states that provide for consolidated returns, for the year ending December 31, 2007. The Company believes that it will be able to utilize the projected federal and state consolidated 2007 and prior year losses. Accordingly, the Company has not provided a valuation allowance against any deferred tax assets generated in 2007.
The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, the Company recorded a $510,000 increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which is offset by a reduction of the deferred tax liability of $109,000, resulting in a decrease to the January 1, 2007 retained earnings balance of $401,000. At the adoption date of January 1, 2007, the Company had $1.8 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The amount of unrecognized tax benefits did not materially change as of June 30, 2007.
It is expected that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change in the next 12 months, however, the Company does not expect the change to have a significant impact on the results of operations or the financial position of the Company.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense in the consolidated condensed statements of operations, which is consistent with the recognition of
19
these items in prior reporting periods. As of January 1, 2007, the Company had recorded a liability of approximately $400,000 for the payment of interest and penalties. The liability for the payment of interest and penalties did not materially change as of June 30, 2007.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the IRS completed its audit of the 2003 federal income tax return for a subsidiary of the Companys airport services business. That audit did not result in a material assessment beyond the related reserve established as of January 1, 2007, upon the adoption of FIN 48. In addition, the IRS has notified the Company that it will conduct an audit of the airport parking business for 2004. The Company does not expect any material adjustments to result from that audit. There are no other ongoing tax examinations of returns filed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and all returns for all tax years ending in 2003 and later are subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities.
There was no material change in the Companys reserve for uncertain tax positions during the quarter ended June 30, 2007.
The Company does not expect a material change in its reserve for uncertain tax positions in the next 12 months.
There are no material legal proceedings other than as disclosed in Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2007.
On February 27, 2007, the board of directors declared a distribution of $0.57 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, which was paid on April 9, 2007 to holders of record on April 4, 2007. On May 3, 2007, the board of directors declared a distribution of $0.59 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, which was paid on June 8, 2007 to holders of record on June 5, 2007. These distributions have been recorded as a reduction to share capital in the stockholders equity section of the accompanying consolidated condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2007.
On August 7, 2007, the board of directors declared a distribution of $0.605 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, payable on September 11, 2007 to holders of record on September 6, 2007.
On July 13, 2007, the Company issued 21,972 limited liability interests to MIMUSA, for the $957,000 performance fee generated in the quarter ended March 31, 2007, following MIMUSAs election to re-invest the performance fee in Company stock.
On July 13, 2007, the Company issued 5,623 limited liability interests to each of the three independent directors, upon vesting of outstanding restricted stock units granted under the Companys Independent Directors Equity Plan.
In addition, the Company completed its equity offering in July 2007, further details of which are provided in Note 11, Stockholders Equity.

We own, operate and invest in a diversified group of infrastructure businesses. They are an airport services business, a bulk liquid storage terminal business, a gas production and distribution business, a district energy business and an airport parking business. Each business provides basic, everyday services to customers in the U.S., such as gas for commercial and residential use and cold water for cooling high-rise buildings. Our businesses are further characterized by their long-lived physical assets and preferred position in their respective markets. As a result of these characteristics our businesses generate sustainable and growing long-term cash flows. We operate and finance our businesses in a manner that maximizes these cash flows.
On June 25, 2007, all of the outstanding shares of trust stock issued by the Trust were exchanged for an equal number of limited liability company interests in the Company and the Trust was dissolved. Prior to this exchange and the dissolution of the Trust, all interests in the Company were held by the Trust.
We are dependent upon cash distributions from our businesses and investments to meet our corporate overhead and management fee expenses and to pay distributions. Distributions received from our businesses and investments net of taxes, are available first to meet management fees and corporate overhead expenses then to fund distribution payments to holders of LLC interests (previously trust stock). Base and performance management fees payable to our Manager are allocated among the Company and its operating company subsidiaries based on the Companys internal allocation policy.
On February 27, 2007, the board of directors declared a distribution of $0.57 per share for the quarter ended December 31, 2006, which was paid on April 9, 2007 to holders of record on April 4, 2007. On May 3, 2007, the board of directors declared a distribution of $0.59 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2007, which was paid on June 8, 2007 to holders of record on June 5, 2007. On August 7, 2007, the board of directors declared a distribution of $0.605 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2007, payable on September 11, 2007 to holders of record on September 6, 2007.
Refer to Other Matters at the end of this Item 2 for discussion of forward looking statements and certain defined terms.
During 2006, the Company determined that its derivative instruments did not qualify as hedges for accounting purposes. We revised our summarized quarterly financial information to eliminate hedge accounting treatment resulting in all changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments being taken through earnings.
From January 2, 2007, changes in the fair value of interest rate derivatives designated as hedging instruments that effectively offset the variability of cash flows associated with variable-rate, long-term debt obligations are reported in other comprehensive income. Any ineffective portion on the change in the valuation of our derivatives is taken through earnings, and reported in the gain on derivative instruments line in our consolidated condensed statements of operations.
Through the year ended December 31, 2006, each holder of the Trusts stock was required to include in U.S. federal taxable income its allocable share of the Trusts income, gain, loss deductions and other items. The amounts shareholders include in taxable income may not have equaled the cash distributions to shareholders.
The agreement reached with the Internal Revenue Service referred to in Note 14, Income Taxes, to our consolidated condensed financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, will cause the Company to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes beginning January 1, 2007. For tax year 2007 shareholders will need to include in taxable income the portion of our distributions that is characterized as a dividend. It is likely that a portion of our distributions will be characterized as return of capital for tax purposes and will result in an adjustment to the shareholders basis rather than taxable income.
21
The portion of our distributions that will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes is subject to a number of uncertainties. We currently anticipate that all of our regular distributions that are treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income, subject to the shareholder having met the holding period requirements as defined by the IRS.
Following the end of second quarter 2007, we completed an offering of an aggregate of 5,701,000 limited liability interests at a price of $40.99 per interest, for which we received proceeds of $223.8 million net of underwriting fees and expenses. In addition, on July 27, 2007, the Underwriters exercised their overallotment option for 464,871 limited liability interests, generating a further approximately $18.2 million in net proceeds. We plan to use the proceeds of the offering to partially finance the acquisition of Mercury Air Centers and SJJC (discussed below under Acquisitions and Dispositions Pending Acquisitions).
Results of the operations for acquisitions by the airport services business and our acquisition of TGC are included in our consolidated results from their respective dates of acquisition. The results of the operations of IMTT Holdings Inc. are not included in our consolidated results, but our share of net income from the investment in the business is reflected in our equity in earnings and amortization charges of investee line in our financial statements from May 1, 2006.
Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2007, for further details on the 2006 acquisitions, and also the dispositions of non-U.S. investments as discussed below.
On May 30, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the interests in entities that own and operate the FBOs at Stewart International Airport in New York and Santa Monica Airport in California (together referred to as Supermarine).
On July 11, 2006, our airport services business acquired 100% of the shares of Trajen Holdings, Inc., or Trajen, the holding company for 23 FBOs at airports in 11 states.
With these acquisitions, our airport services business owns and operates a network of 42 FBOs and one heliport in the United States, the second largest such network in the industry.
We acquired TGC on June 7, 2006. TGC owns and operates the sole regulated gas production and distribution business in Hawaii as well as the largest propane sales and distribution business in Hawaii.
On May 1, 2006, we completed the purchase of newly issued common stock of IMTT Holdings Inc., the holding company for a group of companies and partnerships that operate as International-Matex Tank Terminals, or IMTT. As a result of this transaction, we own 50% of IMTT Holdings issued and outstanding common stock. We have entered into a shareholders agreement which provides, with some exceptions, for minimum aggregate quarterly distributions of $14.0 million to be paid by IMTT Holdings, or $7.0 million to us, through the quarter ending December 31, 2008.
On August 17, 2006, we sold our 16,517,413 stapled securities of Macquarie Communications Infrastructure Group (ASX: MCG), or MCG, for $76.4 million. On October 2, 2006, we sold our 17.5% minority interest in the holding company for South East Water, or SEW, to HDF (UK) Holdings Limited and received net proceeds on the sale of approximately $89.5 million. On December 29, 2006, we sold our interest in Macquarie Yorkshire Limited, the holding company for its 50% interest in Connect M1-A1 Holdings Limited (the parent of the holder of the Yorkshire Link Concession in England) and received approximately $83.0 million in January 2007.
On April 16, 2007, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Mercury Air Centers, Inc., or Mercury, and its equity holders providing for:
22
| the Companys purchase (through its airport services business) on the closing date of 89% of the equity of Mercury (representing 100% of the common stock of Mercury at closing) from Allied Capital Corporation, Directional Aviation Group, LLC and David Moore; |
| the Companys purchase on the closing date of a call option to acquire the remaining 11% of the equity of Mercury (in the form of voting preferred shares) from Kenneth Ricci, exercisable from October 1, 2007 through October 31, 2007, pursuant to an option agreement to be entered into at closing; and |
| the Companys grant of a put option under the option agreement to Mr. Ricci to sell us his 11% of the equity of Mercury, exercisable from April 1, 2008 to April 30, 2008. |
On June 12, 2007, the Company entered into an amendment of the stock purchase agreement to reflect Mercury, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entering into an agreement to purchase 100% of the membership interests in SJJC Aviation Services, LLC, or SJJC, from San Jose Jet Center Inc. and ACM Aviation Inc. The closing of the acquisition of SJJC by Mercury is conditioned on either the Companys closing of its acquisition of Mercury or the termination of the Companys acquisition of Mercury. In the event of a termination or failure to close the acquisition of Mercury by November 1, 2007, Mercury is obligated to assign to the Company all of its rights and obligations under the SJJC agreement. As a result, the Company has effectively entered into an agreement to acquire SJJC.
Mercury owns and operates 24 FBOs in the U.S. and SJJC operates two FBOs at Mineta San Jose International Airport in California. The aggregate purchase price for the whole transaction is $615.0 million, subject to working capital and capital expenditure adjustments and includes $36.9 million of transaction costs, integration costs and reserve funding. The Company intends to fund a portion of the acquisition with $272.0 million two-year term loan borrowings by Mercury with the balance funded with proceeds from the Companys July 2007 equity offering.
| positive contributions from our acquisitions including: |
| acquisition of the Trajen network of 23 FBOs acquired in July 2006; |
| the acquisition of 50% of IMTT in May 2006, and its declaration of a $7.0 million dividend each quarter since the second quarter of 2006. Our investment in IMTT is accounted for using the equity method. As a result, a large portion of the dividends from IMTT increase our cash flow from investing activities but are not included in our statements of operations; |
| the acquisition of TGC in June 2006; |
| increased gross profit from our airport services business; |
| higher base management fees due to our increased market capitalization; |
| substantially higher performance fees due to the outperformance of our stock price compared with the benchmark indices, all of which are, or will be, reinvested in additional LLC interests and therefore have no effect on cash; and |
| an increase in interest expense due to the overall increase in our debt to fund our acquisitions. |

The increase in our consolidated gross profit was due primarily to the acquisitions of Trajen on July 11, 2006 and TGC on June 7, 2006 and growth in existing businesses, particularly our airport services business.
Selling, general and administrative expenses includes approximately $12.6 million and $27.5 million for the quarter and six months ended June 2007, respectively, from our 2006 acquisitions of TGC and Trajen.
The six months ended June 30, 2007 includes $43.0 million in performance fees earned by our manager, MIMUSA, in the second quarter and $957,000 in the first quarter. MIMUSA has elected to reinvest these performance fees in shares of LLC interests.
Our dividend income in 2006 consisted of distributions declared by MCG in the second quarter and distributions declared by and received from SEW in the first quarter. We sold our investments in MCG and SEW in the third and fourth quarters of 2006, respectively.
Interest expense increased due mostly to a higher level of debt in 2007, primarily from the acquisitions made in the second and third quarters of 2006.
Our equity in earnings and amortization charges of investees comprises our equity in the earnings on our Yorkshire Link investment for the first quarter and six months of 2006 and our equity in the earnings of IMTT for the first quarter and six months of 2007. We sold our investment in Yorkshire Link in the fourth quarter of 2006.
For the 2006 year, the Company reported a net loss before taxes at the MIC Inc. level, for which it recorded an income tax benefit. The Company also reported net income before taxes outside MIC Inc. that will not be subject to income taxes payable by the Company. The income derived from outside MIC Inc. was partially offset by the pre-tax loss at the MIC Inc. level, resulting in pre-tax income on a consolidated basis.
The Company projects a consolidated net loss before taxes for 2007, for which it expects to record an income tax benefit. As the Company has agreed with the Internal Revenue Service to be treated as a corporation for all of 2007, the portion of the loss attributable to MIC Inc. is no longer relevant, as all income of the Company and MIC Inc. will be included in one consolidated federal income tax return.
We have included EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, on both a consolidated basis as well as for each of our consolidated businesses as we consider it to be an important measure of our overall performance. We believe EBITDA provides additional insight into the performance of our operating companies and our ability to service our obligations and support our ongoing distribution policy.

Most of the revenue and gross profit in our airport services business is generated through fueling general aviation aircraft at our 43 fixed base operations around the United States. This revenue is categorized according to who owns the fuel we use to service these aircraft. If we own the fuel, we record our cost to purchase that fuel as cost of revenue-fuel. Our corresponding fuel revenue is our cost to purchase that fuel plus a margin. We generally pursue a strategy of maintaining, and where appropriate increasing, dollar-based margins, thereby passing any increase in fuel prices to the customer. We also have into-plane arrangements
27
whereby we fuel aircraft with fuel owned by another party. We collect a fee for this service that is recorded as non-fuel revenue. Other non-fuel revenue includes various services such as hangar rentals, de-icing and airport services. Cost of revenuenon-fuel includes our cost, if any, to provide these services.
The key drivers of revenue and gross profit results are fuel volume and dollar margin per gallon. This applies to both fuel and into-plane revenue. Our customers will occasionally move from one category to the other. Therefore, we believe discussing our fuel and non-fuel revenue and gross profit and the related key metrics on a combined basis provides a more meaningful analysis of our airport services business.
Our total revenue and gross profit growth was due to several factors:
| inclusion of the results of acquisitions concluded July 11, 2006 and May 30, 2007; |
| an increase in fuel volumes as a result of higher into-plane activity at existing locations; and |
| an increase in average dollar per gallon fuel margins at existing locations, resulting largely from a higher proportion of transient customers, which generally pay higher margins. |
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due primarily to the addition of expense associated with the integration and rebranding of the acquired locations.
The increase in total interest expense is due to the increased debt level associated with the acquisitions and higher non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs. In July 2006, we increased borrowings under our debt facility by $180.0 million to finance our acquisition of 23 sites. In May 2007, we increased borrowings under our existing debt facility by $32.5 million to finance our acquisition of two sites. The debt facility provides an aggregate term loan borrowing of $512.5 million and a $5.0 million working capital facility.
Excluding the non cash gains from derivative instruments, EBITDA at existing locations and total EBITDA would have increased by approximately 19.4% and 68.3%, respectively, primarily driven by:
| increased fuel volumes; |
| increased average dollar per gallon fuel margins; and |
| the inclusion of the results of acquisitions concluded July 11, 2006 and May 30, 2007. |
| contribution of positive operating results from 23 FBOs acquired in July 2006 and two FBOs acquired in May 2007; |
| higher dollar per gallon fuel margins at existing locations and higher fuel volumes; |
| higher other services gross profit due to increased de-icing activity; |
| increased expenses due to higher activity levels and the operation of 25 acquired sites; and |
| higher interest costs from higher debt levels resulting from the increased borrowings related to the acquisitions in July 2006 and May 2007. |

Our total revenue and gross profit growth was due to several factors:
| inclusion of the results of acquisitions concluded July 11, 2006 and May 30, 2007; |
| an increase in fuel volumes as a result of higher into-plane activity at existing locations; |
| an increase in average dollar per gallon fuel margins at existing locations, resulting largely from a higher proportion of transient customers, which generally pay higher margins; and |
29
| higher de-icing activity in the first quarter of 2007 compared to 2006 due to colder weather in the Northeast U.S. |
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses is due to the addition of the 25 additional locations. Selling, general and administrative expenses at these locations are comparable to these expenses at existing locations as a percentage of total revenue.
Excluding the impact of a non-cash interest expense item related to interest rate swaps recorded in 2006, net interest expense increased as a result of higher debt levels associated with the acquisitions of Trajen and Supermarine and higher non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs.
Excluding the non-cash gains and losses from derivative instruments, EBITDA at existing locations and total EBITDA would have increased by approximately 27.1% and 79.2%, respectively, primarily due to:
| increased fuel volumes; |
| increased average dollar per gallon fuel margins; |
| higher de-icing gross profit in 2007; and |
| the inclusion of the results of Trajen and Supermarine from July 11, 2006 and May 30, 2007, respectively. |
With respect to our bulk liquid storage terminal business, we included $3.1 million of net income in our consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2007, consisting of $4.7 million equity in the earnings of IMTT (plus $760,000 tax benefit) less $4.0 million depreciation and amortization expense (plus $1.6 million tax benefit). We received $7.0 million in dividends from IMTT in April 2007 relating to the first quarter of 2007. IMTT declared a dividend of $14.0 million in June 2007 with $7.0 million payable to us that we have recorded as a receivable at June 30, 2007, and which we received in July 2007.
To enable meaningful analysis of IMTTs performance across periods, IMTTs performance for the full quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the prior corresponding periods which in part were prior to our investment, is discussed below.
| terminal revenue and terminal gross profit increased principally due to: |
| increases in average tank rental rates and storage capacity rented to customers; |
| increases in throughput revenue; |
| increases in revenue from the provision of other services; and |
| consolidation of IMTTs partially owned subsidiary, IMTT-Quebec, which owns a terminal in Quebec, Canada. This subsidiary was reported using the equity method of accounting in 2006. |

To provide a more meaningful comparison of current and previous year results, the following discussion and analysis of financial results will compare the IMTT Excluding Quebec 2007 results to the actual 2006 results.
Terminal revenue increased 16.1% and 13.2% for the quarter and six-month period, respectively, reflecting growth in each major service segment. Storage revenue increased $4.4 million and $7.9 million during the quarter and six-month period, respectively, as the business increased the storage capacity rented to customers by 4.8% and 4.4% and the average rental rates charged to customers by 6.7% and 6.1% during the quarter and six-month period, respectively. Storage capacity utilization, which was 95% during the quarter and six-month period of 2006, increased to 96% for the second quarter 2007 and 97% for the six-month period 2007. Terminal revenue growth during the quarter and six-month period also resulted from increases in throughput ($1.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively) and other services & fees ($1.3 million and $2.9 million, respectively). The business also increased profitability from heating services.
Gross profit from terminal services increased 15.0% and 18.9% for the quarter and six-month period, respectively. During the quarter and six month period in 2007, the increase in terminal revenues was partially offset by increased costs of direct labor, health benefit, and repair and maintenance costs which were in part related to the increase in revenues from terminal services.
Gross profit from environmental response services decreased by $1.4 million for both the quarter and six-month periods, reflecting a decrease in profit margins for spill response activities, the biggest source of revenue for this segment.
The nursery gross profit increased by $423,000 and $660,000 for the quarter and six-month period, respectively, due to improvements in margins as well as the receipt of a $184,000 insurance settlement during the first quarter 2007 for damage incurred during Hurricane Katrina.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $1.2 million and $1.8 million for the quarter and six-month periods, respectively, due to continuing high levels of growth capital additions.
Net interest expense increased principally due to a $12.3 million make-whole payment associated with the repayment of the two tranches of senior notes in connection with the establishment of the new $625 million revolving credit facility for IMTT.
While other income during the quarter was comparable to the previous year, other income for the six-month period increased due to non-recurring items during the first quarter of 2007. These items included gains
32
of $2.0 million on insurance settlements received for claims related to Hurricane Katrina and other matters as well as a $333,000 gain on the sale of assets. Other income for the first quarter of 2006 included $424,000 of non-recurring income related to the write-off of a payable.
In addition to the aforementioned Quebec contribution, EBITDA for second quarter 2007 and six-month 2007 includes gains from interest swap agreements and certain non-recurring items including gains on insurance settlements and a gain on an asset sale. Excluding unrealized gains from interest rate swap agreements in both 2006 and 2007 as well as the non-recurring items described earlier, EBITDA for the quarter and six-month period would have increased by 9.4% and 17.7%, respectively.
We completed our acquisition of TGC on June 7, 2006. Therefore, TGC has only contributed to our consolidated operating results from that date.
Because TGCs results of operations are not included in our consolidated financial results until June 7, 2006, the following analysis compares the historical results of operations for TGC under both its current and prior owners. We believe that this is the most appropriate approach to analyzing the historical financial performance and trends of TGC.
| utility contribution margin decreased principally due to: |
| higher therm sales at lower margins; |
| $331,000 and $1.1 million for fuel cost adjustments reimbursed to us through escrow funds for the quarter and six months; and |
| decreased revenue reflecting a lower change in unbilled receivables during the 2007 calculation period versus the 2006 calculation period. This was due primarily to volume and price variances during the respective calculation periods and change in frequency of calculation. |
| non-utility contribution margin increased for the six months primarily due to price increases subsequent to June 2006; and |
| non-utility contribution margin for the quarter decreased primarily due to lower therm sales. The second quarter 2006 benefited from higher LPG deliveries that resumed following the state-wide LPG shortage occurring in the first quarter 2006. |
Contribution margin for both the utility and non-utility business represents revenue less direct cost of revenue. Management analyzes contribution margin for TGC because it believes that contribution margin, although a non-GAAP measure, is useful and meaningful to understanding the performance of TGC utility operations under its regulated rate structure and of its non-utility operations under a competitive pricing structure, both of which include an ability to change rates when the underlying fuel costs change. Contribution margin should not be considered an alternative to operating income or net income, which are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Other companies may calculate contribution margin differently and, therefore, the contribution margin presented for TGC is not necessarily comparable with other companies.

Utility contribution margin was lower for the quarter and six months primarily as the result of higher therm sales at lower margins and $331,000 and $1.1 million for fuel cost adjustments required by Hawaii state regulators as a condition of our purchase of TGC. The cash effect of the fuel cost adjustments are offset by withdrawals from the escrow account established and funded at acquisition by the seller. TGC believes that these escrowed funds will be fully utilized by mid-2008 and thereafter escrowed funds would not be available. The cash reimbursements of any fuel cost adjustment amounts are not reflected in revenue, but rather are reflected as releases of restricted cash.
34
In addition utility contribution margin was lower as the result of $696,000 of decreased revenue reflecting a lower change in unbilled receivables during the 2007 calculation period versus the 2006 calculation period. This was primarily due to volume and price variances during the respective calculation periods and a change in the frequency of calculation. The March 2006 calculation period under the former owners was nine months. Beginning with the quarter ended June 30, 2006 the calculation has been performed and recorded quarterly. We believe this will eliminate the quarter-over-quarter impact of unbilled receivables on contribution margin going forward. However, the $1.1 million first quarter impact will continue to effect year-over-year comparisons throughout 2007, and all period-over-period comparisons of contribution margin will continue to be impacted by changes in volume and rates.
Non-utility contribution margin decreased for the quarter due to 4% lower therm sales volume as the second quarter 2006 therm sales benefited from deliveries of LPG that resumed following a state-wide LPG shortage that occurred in first quarter 2006. Non-utility contribution margin for the quarter and six months increased primarily due to price increases subsequent to June 2006.
Production costs were higher for both the quarter and six months due primarily to higher personnel costs and rent partially offset by lower electricity costs and, for the six months, the cost of mechanical inspections at our SNG plant. Transmission and distribution costs were lower for the quarter and six months due principally to lower outside costs for line repair work, lower rent and higher capitalization of costs in connection with asset additions, partially offset by higher personnel costs and vehicle maintenance costs.
Selling, general and administrative costs were lower in 2007 than in 2006 due to the prior companys parent overhead charges that were included in 2006 results and lower insurance costs, partially offset by higher personnel and professional service costs.
Depreciation and amortization increased due to the higher asset basis that resulted from our purchase of TGC and for equipment additions.
Interest expense increased due to our acquisition funding. Interest expense in 2006 also included the prior owners write-off of deferred financing costs for the retirement of their debt in connection with its sale of the business.
Other expense for 2006 included $2.3 million of costs incurred prior to our ownership.
Excluding unrealized gains and losses on derivatives, reimbursed fuel adjustment costs and 2006 acquisition-related costs, EBITDA would have remained relatively flat in 2007 compared to 2006.
| capacity revenue increased due to four interruptible customers converting to continuous service over June through September of 2006 and annual inflation-related increases of contract capacity rates; |
| cooling consumption revenue and electricity cost increased due to higher electricity costs from the deregulation of the Illinois electricity market in January 2007. Consumption revenue also increased due to warmer average temperatures in May and June resulting in higher ton-hour sales; and |
| both capacity and consumption revenue increased due to a net increase in contracted capacity. |

Gross profit, in both the quarter and six-month period, increased primarily due to higher capacity revenue related to four interruptible customers converting to continuous service during the previous year, a net increase in contracted capacity and annual inflation-related increases of contract capacity rates in accordance with the terms of existing customer contracts. Cooling consumption revenue also increased due to higher ton-hour sales from warmer than average temperatures, a net increase in contracted capacity and the pass-through to our
36
customers of the higher electricity costs related to the January 2007 deregulation of Illinois electricity generation market. This pass-through is subject to annual reconciliations and true-ups to actual costs. Other revenue decreased due to our pass-through to customers of the lower cost of natural gas consumables and reduction in management headcount, which are included in other direct expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expense decreased due to a reduction in management headcount. Also, the second quarter of 2006 included legal and consulting fees related to strategy work in preparation for the 2007 deregulation of Illinois electricity generation market.
The increase in net interest expense was due to additional credit line draws necessary to fund growth capital expenditures for plant expansion, new customer connections and scheduled maintenance capital expenditures during the previous 12 months. Our interest rate on our senior debt is a fixed rate.
The first six months of 2006 included pension benefits expense for union trainees employed from 1999 through 2005. The majority of the expense was incurred in the first quarter of 2006.
EBITDA increased primarily due to the higher capacity revenue associated with four interruptible customers converting to continuous service during the previous year, the net increase in contracted capacity and the higher ton-hour sales from warmer weather.

(2) | Average Overnight Occupancy refers to aggregate average daily occupancy measured for all locations at the lowest point of the day and does not reflect turnover and intra-day activity. |
Revenue in 2007 increased due to the addition of one new location. Comparable locations revenue for the quarter and the six month periods were generally flat.
Average revenue per car out increased for the quarter and six month period at our comparable locations primarily due to implementation of our yield management strategy, including price increases and the elimination of low margin daily parking programs in selected markets.
The decrease in cars out at comparable locations in both the quarter and the six month period was attributed to a continued strategic shift away from daily parkers and competitive pressure in selected markets.
Daily parkers, typically airport employees, contribute to a higher number of cars out, but pay discounted rates. Management have sought to replace daily customers with higher yielding leisure and corporate customers, however the volume is not yet sufficient to fully offset the loss of daily parkers. Management is concentrating sales efforts in these markets to attract additional corporate accounts.
In the first quarter of 2007, management identified a number of underperforming markets, introducing aggressive pricing campaigns and new managers to recapture market share. Management also identified a number of service level issues in these markets and efforts to upgrade standards are continuing. As a result, the decline in cars out over the prior year improved slightly in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of 2007. We anticipate that these service improvements together with our rebranding and internet marketing will build our customer base over time. As a result, we expect to see improved revenues over the medium term.
Our airport parking business as a whole has sufficient capacity to accommodate further growth. At locations where we are operating at peak capacity intra-day, we continue to seek opportunities to expand capacity.
Direct expenses increased due in part to additional costs associated with operating one new location.
Direct expenses increased at comparable locations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 due to support service improvement initiatives including additional personnel and security. Increases were concentrated in our North East valet markets where customer experience is driven by the interactions with our staff. We anticipate that these costs will stabilize at current levels over the remainder of the year and will support anticipated increases in revenue and accordingly margin growth as the customer base builds in response.
Depreciation increased in the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 by $326,000 and $496,000, respectively, primarily as a result of the replacement of buses.
We note that direct expenses include rent in excess of lease, a non-cash item, in the amount of $575,000 and $561,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $1.2 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

On June 27 the airport parking business sub-leased a parcel of land that had been used intermittently as an overflow facility. The sub-lease revenue will offset all of the lease expense, effectively reducing operating costs of the business by $250,000 per quarter through the first quarter of 2009.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased due primarily to re-branding expenses of $545,000 for the quarter and six month period associated with consolidating all locations under one brand during 2007.
Amortization in 2007 increased due to the accelerated amortization of certain intangible assets (trade and domain names) associated with the re-branding project.
Interest expense declined due to favorable interest rates and lower finance cost amortization associated with the debt refinanced on September 1, 2006, that consolidated our primary borrowings, and provided capital for current and future capital expenditures at a more favorable interest rate.
EBITDA decreased due to lower operating income, primarily as a result of increased service related costs and re-branding expenses.
We do not intend to retain significant cash balances in excess of what are prudent reserves. We believe that we will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet our future liquidity requirements, including in relation to our acquisition strategy, our debt obligations and our distribution policy. We base our assessment on the following assumptions that:
| our businesses and investments generate, and will continue to generate, significant operating cash flow; |
| the ongoing maintenance capital expenditures associated with our businesses are modest and readily funded from their respective operating cash flow; |
| all significant short-term growth capital expenditure will be funded with cash on hand or from committed undrawn debt facilities; |
| our district energy business will be able to refinance its existing senior notes, which are due to amortize in the fourth quarter of 2007; and |
| we have at least $300.0 million of revolving acquisition financing available and will be able to raise equity to refinance any amounts borrowed in the future under our acquisition facility prior to its maturity. |
The section below discusses the sources and uses of cash on a consolidated basis, and our businesses and investments for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Cash provided by (used in) operating activities for our businesses excludes the impact of the corporate allocation and other operating inter-company activities, which are eliminated at the MIC Inc. level.

Key factors influencing our consolidated cash flow were as follows:
| the increase in our consolidated cash flow provided by operating activities was primarily the result of the positive contribution from the acquisitions made by our airport services business, the acquisition of TGC and continued organic growth in our consolidated businesses. Offsetting these increases were higher interest expenses resulting from increased debt levels; |
| cash flow used in investing activities in 2007 included $88.7 million paid for our investment in Supermarine, offset by $85.0 million receipt of sale proceeds in January 2007 from the disposition in our interest in Macquarie Yorkshire Limited in December 2006. Cash flow used in investing activities in the first half of 2006 primarily comprised our $257.0 million investment in IMTT and our $263.3 million investment in our gas production and distribution business, less $7.8 million cash acquired. There was also an additional cash inflow in 2007 of $11.7 million, comprising the dividend received from IMTT in excess of the equity accounted income recognized, net of $18.2 million in capital expenditures. Capital expenditures were $13.3 million higher than in the first half of 2006 due to businesses acquired since the middle of 2006; and |
| cash flow used in financing activities in 2007 mainly comprised $43.6 million in distributions paid to holders of trust stock (prior to the dissolution of the Trust), net of $41.6 million in debt drawdowns by our businesses ($32.5 million of which was to fund the airport services acquisition of Supermarine). Cash flow provided by financing activities in 2006 mainly comprised $437.9 million in debt drawdowns to fund our investments in IMTT and TGC, net of $27.1 million in distributions paid to holders of trust stock. |
As of June 30, 2007, our consolidated cash and cash equivalent balances totaled $73.0 million.
The Company capitalizes its operating businesses separately using non-recourse, project finance style debt. In addition, it has a credit facility at its subsidiary, MIC Inc., primarily to finance acquisitions and capital expenditures. At June 30, 2007, the Company had no indebtedness outstanding at the MIC LLC or MIC Inc. level. On August 6, 2007, we drew $60.0 million on the MIC Inc. credit facility in anticipation of closing our acquisition of Mercury and SJJC in August 2007. For a description of the MIC Inc. revolving acquisition facility, see Liquidity and Capital Resources in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2007.

Key factors influencing cash flow from our airport services business were as follows:
| the increase in cash provided by operating activities was the result of the acquisition of Trajen and Supermarine in July 2006 and May 2007, respectively, and improved performance at existing locations, partially offset by an increase in interest expense on higher debt levels; |
| in addition to the acquisition of Supermarine, cash used in investing activities includes capital expenditures of $5.0 million ($2.4 million for maintenance and $2.6 million for expansion) in 2007 compared to $1.1 million in 2006 ($1.0 million for maintenance and $81,000 for expansion); and |
| cash provided by financing activities includes proceeds received from the issuance of long term debt and a capital contribution from us for the acquisition of Supermarine, offset by distributions to us of $28.9 million in 2007 compared to $17.4 million in 2006. |
The airport services business amended its credit facility in February 2007 to provide $32.5 million of additional term loan borrowings to partially finance the acquisition of Supermarine and drew down on this facility on May 30, 2007 when the acquisition closed. The terms of the facility remain the same except that the required minimum adjusted EBITDA increased to $78.2 million for 2007 and $84.1 million for 2008. To hedge the interest commitments under the term loan expansion, MIC, Inc. entered into a swap with Macquarie Bank Limited, fixing 100% of the term loan expansion at the following base rate:
Start Date | End Date | Rate | ||||||
March 30, 2007 | December 12, 2010 | 5.2185 | % |
The swap was transferred to the airport services business at the completion of the acquisition on May 30, 2007.
We have also received commitment letters from various banks to provide credit facilities to fund the upcoming acquisitions of Mercury and SJJC. Further details are provided in Note 5, Acquisitions, to our consolidated condensed financial statements in Part I, Item I of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference.

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

Key factors influencing cash flow at our bulk liquid storage terminal business, including the consolidation of IMTT-Quebec in 2007, were as follows:
| cash provided by operating activities decreased primarily due to a $12.3 million make-whole payment associated with the early repayment of two tranches of senior notes partially offset by an increase in EBITDA, as described within Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and a reduction in working capital in 2006 which did not recur in 2007; |
| cash used in investing activities increased principally due to high levels of specific capital expenditure relating to the construction of the new facility at Geismar, LA and the construction of new storage tanks at IMTTs existing facilities at St. Rose, LA, Gretna, LA, Bayonne, NJ and Quebec, Canada; and |
| cash provided by financing activities declined due to the investment in IMTT by MIC during 2006 which did not recur in 2007. |
Pursuant to the terms of the shareholders agreement between ourselves and the other shareholders in IMTT, all shareholders in IMTT other than MIC Inc. are required to loan all quarterly dividends received by them, net of tax payable in relation to such dividends, through the quarter ending December 31, 2007 back to IMTT Holdings Inc. The shareholder loan has a fixed interest rate of 5.5% and will be repaid over 15 years by IMTT Holdings Inc. with equal quarterly amortization commencing March 31, 2008. Shareholder loans of $22.3 million were outstanding as at June 30, 2007.
For a description of the bulk liquid storage terminal business debt facilities see Liquidity and Capital Resources in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. In addition, the following describes material changes to the business debt facilities in 2007.
On June 7, 2007, IMTT entered into a Revolving Credit Agreement (the Agreement) with Suntrust Bank, Citibank N.A., Regions Bank, Rabobank Nederland, Branch Banking & Trust Co., DNB NOR Bank ASA, Bank of America N.A., BNP Paribas, Bank of Montreal, The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, Mizuho Corporate Bank Ltd and eight other banks establishing a $600.0 million U.S. dollar denominated revolving credit facility and a $25.0 million equivalent Canadian dollar revolving credit facility. The Agreement also allows for an increase in the U.S. dollar denominated revolving credit facility of up to $300.0 million on the same terms at the election of IMTT. No commitments have been sought from lenders to provide this increase at this time.
At signing, IMTT used $168.5 million under the new U.S. dollar denominated revolving credit facility to fully repay and extinguish the existing two tranches of fixed rate notes issued by IMTT and to replace letters of credit outstanding under the existing U.S. dollar denominated revolving credit facility which has also been terminated. IMTT also borrowed $10.1 million equivalent under the Canadian dollar denominated revolving credit facility to fully repay the existing Canadian dollar denominated revolving credit facility which has been terminated. The material terms of the new revolving credit facilities are summarized in the table below. The new facilities will be used to fund IMTT's expansion program and are expected to be more than adequate to fully fund IMTTs existing and reasonably foreseeable growth capital expenditure plans.

As of June 30, 2007, IMTT was utilizing $186.6 million of this revolving credit commitment.
On July 10, 2007, IMTT issued $215.0 million of Gulf Opportunity Zone Bonds (GO Zone Bonds) in two tranches. The proceeds from the issuance of the GO Zone Bonds will be used to fund qualified project costs at its St. Rose and Geismar storage facilities incurred subsequent to August 12, 2005 (in the case of
St. Rose) and April 28, 2005 (in the case of Geismar) and before January 1, 2011. Of the proceeds from the issuance of the GO Zone Bonds, $112.9 million (an amount approximately equivalent to IMTTs aggregate capital expenditures at St. Rose and Geismar from the aforementioned dates through the date of issuance) were made immediately
available to IMTT and used to repay part of the then outstanding balance under IMTTs revolving credit facility. The balance of the proceeds from the GO Zone Bond issuance
($100.7 million net of transaction costs) are currently held in trust and will be released to IMTT as further
44
capital expenditure at the specified terminals is undertaken. While held in trust, the proceeds will be invested by the trustee in short term debt instruments with high credit rating. It is anticipated that all proceeds from the issuance held by the trustee will be released to IMTT by the end of 2008.
The GO Zone Bonds are fully credit supported by letters of credit drawn under IMTTs revolving credit agreement.
For federal income tax purposes, interest on the GO Zone Bonds is excluded from gross income, and is not an item of tax preference for purposes of federal alternative minimum tax imposed on individuals and corporations that are investors in the Go Zone Bonds; however, for purposes of computing the federal alternative minimum tax imposed on certain corporations, such interest is taken into account in determining adjusted current earnings. As a consequence of this and the credit support provided by the letters of credit, the floating interest rate applicable to similar bonds has historically averaged approximately 67% percent of LIBOR. Interest on the GO Zone Bonds is deductible to IMTT for federal income tax purposes as incurred except to the extent capitalized and amortized as part of project costs as required.
The key terms of the GO Zone Bonds issued are summarized in the table below.

To hedge the interest rate risk associated with IMTT's current and a substantial portion of its projected floating rate borrowings under the revolving credit agreement and GO Zone Bonds, IMTT has entered into the following interest rate swaps during the quarter:
| 10 year fixed to quarterly LIBOR swap with an initial notional amount of $50.0 million, increasing to $200.0 million by December 31, 2012, at a fixed rate of 5.5070%. |
| 10 year fixed to monthly 67% of LIBOR swap with an initial notional amount of $75.0 million, increasing to $215.0 million by December 31, 2008, at a fixed rate of 3.662%. |
Because TGCs cash flows are only included in our financial results from June 7, 2006, the following analysis compares the historical cash flows for TGC under both its current and prior owners for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. We believe that this is the most appropriate approach to explaining the historical cash flow trends of TGC rather than discussing the composition of cash flows that is included in our consolidated cash flows.

| the decrease in cash provided by operating activities was the result of normal working capital fluctuations and lower income; |
45
| cash used in investing activities for 2007 of $4.2 million was for capital additions, compared with $4.7 million for the first half of 2006. The remaining 2006 use of cash in investing activities was for our acquisition of TGC; and |
| cash used in financing activities for the first half of 2007 comprised distributions from TGC to us of $4.7 million, offset by $2.0 million of new long-term borrowing that was used to finance the purchase of utility assets. Cash provided by financing activities during the first half of 2006 were for $160.0 million of borrowings for the acquisition of TGC, $106.7 million of capital contributed by us upon our acquisition of the business less $3.3 million of financing costs, $2.0 million of borrowing for working capital needs, and $9.9 million in distributions to the previous owner. Note that in addition to the $4.7 million in distributions paid to us in 2007, TGC also paid $796,000 to us for corporate allocation expenses, which has been excluded from the above table. |
At June 30, 2007, TGC had $16.0 million available to borrow under its $20.0 million revolving credit facility. During the second quarter, TGC established a $5.0 million uncommitted unsecured short-term borrowing facility. This credit line is being used for working capital needs, but no amount had been borrowed as of June 30, 2007.

Key factors influencing cash flow from our district energy business were as follows:
| the increase in cash provided by operating activities was a result of various working capital items, primarily increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses relating to increased electricity charges accrued in 2007; |
| the increase in cash used in investing activities was due to growth capital expenditures for plant expansion and new customer connections and the timing of on-going maintenance capital expenditures for system reliability; and |
| the decrease in cash used in financing activities was due to lower distributions to us in the first six months of 2007, being $2.4 million, compared with $5.5 million in the first six months of 2006 and also additional borrowings in 2007 of $7.1 million to finance capital expenditures.

Key factors influencing cash flow from our airport parking business were as follows:
| the decrease in cash provided by operating activities was a result of lower net income due to higher direct expenses and re-branding costs, and also normal working capital fluctations; |
| cash used in investing activities includes capital expenditures in 2007 of $2.8 million and $2.2 million in 2006; and |
| cash provided by financing activities in 2007 included a contribution of $7.8 million from us, which was offset by distributions to shareholders in the amount of $1.1 million ($950,000 of which was paid to us and the remainder to our minority shareholders). In addition, restricted cash of $891,000 was released in 2006 while in 2007 an additional $1.1 million increased the restricted cash balance. Also, in 2006, a partial repayment of the intercompany loan of $3.2 million was paid to us. |
For a description of our airport parking business debt and credit facilities, see Liquidity and Capital Resources in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report of Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. We have not had any material changes to our debt and credit facilities since March 1, 2007, our 10-K filing date.
We have detailed our capital expenditures on a segment-by-segment basis, which we believe is a more appropriate approach to explaining our capital expenditure requirements on a consolidated basis.
We expect to spend approximately $170,000 per FBO, per year on maintenance capital expenditure. Maintenance capital expenditures encompass repainting, replacing equipment as necessary and any ongoing environmental or required regulatory expenditure, such as installing safety equipment. These expenditures are funded from cash flow from operations.
Capital projects started in 2006 and expected to be completed in 2007 and 2008 total approximately $15.1 million. We intend to fund these expenditures from cash on hand.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, IMTT spent $14.2 million on maintenance capital expenditure, including $9.5 million principally in relation to the refurbishment of storage tanks, piping, and dock facilities, and $3.6 million on environmental capital expenditure, principally in relation to improvements in containment measures and remediation. Looking forward it is anticipated that total maintenance capital expenditure (maintenance and environmental) is unlikely to exceed a range of between $30.0 million and
$40.0 million per year. The expected level of future maintenance capital expenditure over the longer term primarily reflects the
need for increased environmental expenditure going forward both to remediate existing sites and to upgrade waste water treatment and spill containment infrastructure to comply with environmental regulations.

IMTT is currently constructing a bulk liquid chemical storage and handling facility on the Mississippi River at Geismar, LA. To date, IMTT has committed approximately $164.6 million of growth capital expenditure to the project. Based on the current project scope and subject to certain minimum volumes of chemical products being handled by the facility, existing customer contracts are anticipated to generate terminal gross profit and EBITDA of at least approximately $18.8 million per year. Completion of construction of the initial $164.6 million phase of the Geismar project is targeted for the second quarter of 2008. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, construction costs in the region affected by the hurricane have increased and labor shortages have been experienced. Although a significant amount of the impact of Hurricane Katrina on construction costs has already been incorporated into the capital commitment plan, there could be further negative impacts on the cost of constructing the Geismar project (which may not be offset by an increase in gross profit and EBITDA contribution) and/or the project construction schedule.
In addition to the Geismar project, IMTT has recently completed the construction of approximately one million barrels of new storage at its Louisiana facilities for a total cost of $26.9 million and is currently in the process of constructing a further 1.3 million barrels of new storage at a total estimated cost of $41.8 million. It is anticipated that construction at the Louisiana sites will be completed during 2007 and early 2008. Rental contracts with initial terms of at least three years have already been executed in relation to the substantial majority of these tanks with the balance to be used to service customers while their existing tanks are undergoing scheduled maintenance over the next five years. Overall, it is anticipated that the operation of the recently completed tanks and those under construction will contribute approximately $11.1 million to IMTTs terminal gross profit and EBITDA annually.
IMTT has also initiated capital projects to add or convert approximately one million barrels of storage capacity at its Bayonne, NJ site. IMTT anticipates spending $28.7 million on these projects, which will be completed during 2008 and 2009, and which are anticipated to generate approximately $7.1 million in gross profit and EBITDA annually.
At the Quebec facility, IMTT is currently in the process of constructing new storage tanks with total capacity of 655,000 barrels. All of these tanks are already under customer contract with a minimum term of three years. Total construction costs are projected at approximately $18.3 million. Construction of these tanks is anticipated to be completed during 2007 and 2008 and their operation is anticipated to contribute approximately $4.5 million to the Quebec terminals gross profit and EBITDA annually.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, IMTT spent $68.7 million on specific expansion projects including $43.5 million in relation to the construction of the new bulk liquid chemical storage and handling facility and other tankage at Geismar, LA, $10.9 million at its existing Louisiana sites (St. Rose, Gretna, and Avondale), $8.9 million in Bayonne, and $4.3 million in Quebec. The balance of the specific capital expenditure related to a number of smaller projects to improve the capabilities of IMTTs facilities.
It is anticipated that the proposed specific capital expenditure will be fully funded using a combination of IMTTs cash flow from operations, IMTTs debt facilities and future loans from the IMTT shareholders other than us.
During 2007, TGC expects to spend approximately $9.5 million for maintenance capital expenditure, routine replacements of property, and to support new customer growth in 2007. Approximately $1.2 million of the expected total year capital expenditures are for new customer hook-ups. The remaining $8.3 million comprises approximately $0.4 million for vehicles and $7.9 million for other renewals and upgrades. A portion of the utility-related expenditures will be funded from available debt facilities. As of June 30, 2007, approximately $4.5 million has been spent for renewals, upgrades and business growth.
Our district energy business expects to spend approximately $1.0 million per year on capital expenditures
48
relating to the replacement of parts, system reliability, customer service improvements and minor system modifications of which $638,000 has been spent in the first six months of 2007. Since 2004, minor system modifications have been made that increased system capacity by approximately 3,000 tons. Maintenance capital expenditures for 2007 will be funded from available debt facilities.
We anticipate spending up to approximately $8.1 million for system expansion in 2007 and 2008. As of June 30, 2007, $6.0 million has been spent or committed. This expansion, in conjunction with operational efficiencies we have achieved at our plants and throughout our system, will increase saleable capacity in the downtown cooling system by a total of 16,000 tons. Approximately 6,700 tons of saleable capacity was used in 2006 to accommodate four customers that converted from interruptible to continuous service. The balance of saleable capacity (approximately 9,300 tons) is being sold to new or existing customers. We anticipate that the expanded capacity sold to new or existing customers will be under contract or subject to letters of intent prior to district energy committing to the capital expenditure.
As of July 15, 2007, we have signed contracts with five customers representing approximately 90% of this remaining 9,300 tons of additional saleable capacity. One customer began service in late 2006, another began service in May 2007 and the other three customers will begin service between 2007 and 2009. We have identified the likely purchasers of the remaining saleable capacity and expect to have contracts signed by the end of 2007.
In addition to this previously identified capacity, management has assessed additional operational strategies and methods to accommodate approximately 2,000 tons of additional capacity.
We estimate that we will incur additional capital expenditure of $6.4 million connecting new customers to the system from 2007 thru 2009. As of June 30, 2007, $1.7 million has been spent or committed. Typically, new customers will reimburse our district energy business for some, if not all, of these connection expenditures effectively reducing the impact of this capital expenditure. Approval from the City of Chicago has been obtained where required to accommodate expansion of the underground distribution piping necessary to connect the above referenced anticipated new customers.
Based on recent contract experience and current year electricity costs, each new ton of capacity sold will add approximately $450 to annual revenue in the first year of service.
We expect to fund the capital expenditure for system expansion and interconnection by drawing on available debt facilities.
Management continues to explore additional expansion opportunities to accommodate the increased demand for district cooling in Chicago.
Maintenance capital projects include regular replacement of shuttle buses and IT equipment some of which are capital expenditures paid in cash and some of which are financed, including with capital leases.
In 2007, our airport parking business expects to commit $2.9 million to new maintenance related capital projects of which $1.8 million will be funded through debt and other financing activities. The balance of $1.1 million will be paid in cash.
Debt will also be used to fund an additional $1.3 million of projects committed to in 2006 but payable in 2007.
In 2007, our airport parking business expects to commit to $77,000 of specific capital projects which will be paid in cash.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

The senior debt for our airport services business comprises a non-amortizing $512.5 million floating rate facility maturing in 2010. A 1% increase in the interest rate on the $512.5 million airport services business debt would result in a $5.1 million increase in the interest cost per year. A corresponding 1% decrease would result in a $5.1 million decrease in interest cost per year.
Our airport services business exposure to interest rate changes through the senior debt has been hedged through the use of interest rate swaps. The $512.5 million facility is fully hedged until maturity. These hedging arrangements will offset any additional interest rate expense incurred as a result of increases in interest rates. However, if interest rates decrease, the value of our hedge instruments will also decrease. A 10% relative decrease in interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair market value of the hedge instruments of $9.9 million. A corresponding 10% relative increase would result in a $9.7 million increase in the fair market value.

IMTT, at June 30, 2007, had two issues of New Jersey Economic Development Authority tax exempt revenue bonds outstanding with a total balance of $36.3 million where the interest rate is reset daily by tender. A 1% increase in interest rates on this tax exempt debt would result in a $363,000 increase in interest cost per year and a corresponding 1% decrease would result in a $363,000 decrease in interest cost per year. IMTTs exposure to interest rate changes through this tax exempt debt has been largely hedged through October 2007 through the use of a $50.0 million notional value interest rate swap. As the interest rate swap is fixed against 90-day LIBOR and not the daily tax exempt tender rate, it does not result in a perfect hedge for short term rates on tax exempt debt although it will largely offset any additional interest rate expense incurred as a result of increases in interest rates. If interest rates decrease, the value of the interest rate swap will also decrease. A 10% relative decrease in interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair market value of the interest rate swap of $69,000 and a corresponding 10% relative increase would result in a $69,000 increase in the fair market value. IMTTs exposure to interest rate changes through this tax exempt debt has been hedged from October 2007 through November 2012 through the use of a $36.3 million face value 67% of LIBOR swap. As this interest rate swap is fixed against 67% of 30-day LIBOR and not the daily tax exempt tender rate, it does not result in a perfect hedge for short term rates on tax exempt debt although it will largely offset any additional interest rate expense incurred as a result of increases in interest rates. If interest rates decrease, the fair market value of this interest rate swap will also decrease. A 10% relative decrease in interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair market value of the interest rate swap of $573,000 and a corresponding 10% relative increase would result in a $557,000 increase in the fair market value.
IMTT, at June 30, 2007, had a $104.0 million floating rate term loan outstanding. A 1% increase in interest rates on the term loan would result in a $1.0 million increase in interest cost per year. A corresponding 1% decrease would result in a $1.0 million decrease in interest cost per year. IMTTs exposure to interest rate changes through the term loan has been fully hedged through the use of an amortizing interest rate swap. These hedging arrangements will fully offset any additional interest rate expense incurred as a result of increases in interest rates. However, if interest rates decrease, the fair market value of the interest rate swap will also decrease. A 10% relative decrease in interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair market value of the interest rate swap of $1.9 million. A corresponding 10% relative increase in interest rates would result in a $1.8 million increase in the fair market value of the interest rate swap.
During July 2007, IMTT issued Gulf Opportunity Zone Bonds (GO Zone Bonds) to fund qualified project costs at its St. Rose and Geismar storage facilities. Under this program, IMTT received $112.9 million in July 2007 and used the proceeds to repay part of the outstanding balance under its revolving credit facility. The interest rate on the GO Zone Bonds is reset daily or weekly at IMTTs option by tender. A 1% increase in interest rates on the outstanding GO Zone Bonds would result in a $1.1 million increase in interest cost per year and a corresponding 1% decrease would result in a $1.1 million decrease in interest cost per year. IMTTs exposure to interest rate changes through the GO Zone Bonds has been largely hedged until June 2017 through the use of an interest rate swap which has a notional value that increases to $215.0 million through December 31, 2008. As the interest rate swap is fixed against 67% of the 30-day LIBOR rate and not the tax exempt tender rate, it does not result in a perfect hedge for short term rates on tax exempt debt although it will largely offset any additional interest rate expense incurred as a result of increases in interest rates. If interest rates decrease, the fair market value of the interest rate swap will also decrease. A 10% relative decrease in interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair market value of the interest rate swap of $958,000 and a corresponding 10% relative increase would result in a $936,000 increase in the fair market value.
Subsequent to the issuance of GO Zone bonds in July 2007, IMTT had a total outstanding balance of $25.5 million under its U.S. revolving credit facility. A 1% increase in interest rates on this debt would result in a $255,000 increase in interest cost per year and a corresponding 1% decrease would result in a $255,000 decrease in interest cost per year. IMTTs exposure to interest rate changes on its U.S. revolving credit facility has been largely hedged against 90-day LIBOR from October 2007 through March 2017 through the use of an interest rate swap which has a notional value that increases to $200.0 million through December 31, 2012. If interest rates decrease, the fair market value of the interest rate swap will also decrease. A 10% relative
51
decrease in interest rates would result in a decrease in the fair market value of the interest rate swap of $5.6 million and a corresponding 10% relative increase would result in a $5.2 million increase in the fair market value.
As of July 2007, IMTT had a total outstanding balance of $12.2 million under its Canadian revolving credit facility. A 1% increase in interest rates on this debt would result in a $122,000 increase in interest cost per year and a corresponding 1% decrease would result in a $122,000 decrease in interest cost per year.
Under the direction and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report.
