Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, was 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. The Company owns, operates and invests in a diversified group of infrastructure businesses in the United States. Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc. is the Companys manager and is referred to in these financial statements as the Manager. The Manager is a subsidiary of the Macquarie Group of companies, which is comprised of Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide. Macquarie Group Limited is headquartered in Australia and is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange.
Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust, or the Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, was also formed on April 13, 2004. Prior to December 21, 2004, the Trust was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Manager. 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, or LLC, interests in the Company, and the Trust was dissolved. Prior to this exchange of trust stock for LLC 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 its businesses through its wholly-owned subsidiary Macquarie Infrastructure Company Inc., or MIC Inc. The Companys businesses operate predominantly in the United States, and comprise the following:
(i) | an airport services business operates a network of fixed base operations, or FBOs, in the U.S. FBOs provide products and services like fuel and aircraft parking for owners and operators of private jets; |
(ii) | a 50% interest in a bulk liquid storage terminal business provides bulk liquid storage and handling services in North America and is one of the largest participants in this industry in the U.S., based on capacity; |
(iii) | a gas production and distribution business a full-service gas energy company, making gas products and services available in Hawaii; |
(iv) | a district energy business operates the largest district cooling system in the U.S. and serves various customers in Chicago, Illinois and Las Vegas, Nevada; and |
(v) | an airport parking business a provider of off-airport parking services in the U.S., with 30 facilities in 20 major airport markets. |
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company completed the following acquisitions:
| 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. |
| On August 9, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of approximately 89% of the equity of Mercury Air Center, Inc., or Mercury, which owns and operates 24 FBOs in the United States. On October 2, 2007, the Company acquired the remaining 11% of equity. |
| On August 17, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in SJJC Aviation Services, LLC, or San Jose, which owns and operates the two FBOs at San Jose Mineta International Airport, located in San Jose, California. |
| On November 30, 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the membership interests in Rifle Jet Center, LLC and Rifle Jet Center Maintenance, LLC, which own and operate an FBO at Garfield County Regional Airport in Rifle, Colorado. |

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. 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, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2007 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. Certain reclassifications were made to the financial statements for the prior period to conform to current year presentation.
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, 2007 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2008.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or FASB No. 157, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements. Accordingly, FASB No. 157 does not require any new fair value measurements. FASB No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1 inputs), second priority to other observable information such as quoted prices in markets that are not active or other directly or indirectly observable inputs (level 2 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (level 3 inputs). A financial instruments level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The provisions of FASB No. 157 were effective as of the beginning of the Companys 2008 fiscal year. The Company adopted FASB No. 157 on January 1, 2008 and the required disclosures are included in these financial statements, except as noted below. The impact of the adoption did not have a material impact on the Companys financial results of operations and financial condition. In accordance with FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, which was issued in February 2008, the Company has deferred the adoption of FASB No. 157 for all non-financial assets and liabilities. Major categories of non-financial assets and liabilities to which this deferral applies include, but is not limited to, the Companys property, equipment, land and leasehold improvements; intangible assets; and goodwill.

In December 2007, the FASB revised Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations, or FASB No. 141(R). The revised standard includes various changes to the business combination rules. Some of the changes include immediate expensing of acquisition-related costs rather than capitalization, and 100% of the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired being recorded, even if less than 100% of the business is acquired. FASB No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations consummated in periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company expects the revised standard to have the following significant impacts on its financial statements compared with existing business combination rules: (1) increased selling, general and administrative costs due to immediate expensing of acquisition costs, resulting in lower net income; (2) lower cash provided by operating activities and lower cash used in investing activities in the statements of cash flows due to the immediate expensing of acquisition costs, which under existing rules are included as cash out flows in investing activities as part of the purchase price of the business; and (3) 100% of fair values recorded for assets and liabilities on the balance sheet even where a noncontrolling interest exists resulting in larger assets and liability balances compared with existing business combination rules.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51, or FASB No. 160, which requires noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of permanent equity. FASB No. 160 is effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and will be applied prospectively to all noncontrolling interests with comparative period information reclassified. While the Companys district energy and airport parking businesses each have noncontrolling interests, the Company does not expect the adoption of FASB No. 160 to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, or FASB No. 161, which requires companies with derivative instruments to disclose information about how and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a companys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. The required disclosures include the fair value of derivative instruments and their gains or losses in tabular format, information about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements, counterparty credit risk, and the companys strategies and objectives for using derivative instruments. FASB No. 161 is effective for periods beginning on or after November 15, 2008. The Company does not expect the adoption of FASB No. 161 to have a material impact on the Companys financial statements.
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, | |||||||||||||||
2008 | 2007 | 2008 | 2007 | |||||||||||||
Weighted average number of shares outstanding: basic | 44,941,440 | 37,562,165 | 44,939,910 | 37,562,165 | ||||||||||||
Dilutive effect of restricted stock unit grants | 12,683 | | 11,498 | | ||||||||||||
Weighted average number of shares outstanding: diluted | 44,954,123 | 37,562,165 | 44,951,408 | 37,562,165 |
8
The effect of potentially dilutive shares for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2008 is calculated by assuming that the 14,115 restricted stock unit grants provided to the independent directors on May 27, 2008 and the 10,314 restricted stock unit grants provided to the independent directors on May 24, 2007 had been fully converted to shares on those dates. However, the restricted stock unit grants were anti-dilutive for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007, due to the Companys net loss for those periods.
On March 4, 2008, the Companys airport services business completed the acquisition of 100% of the interests in Sun Valley Aviation, Inc., SB Aviation Group, Inc. and Seven Bar Aviation Inc. (collectively referred to as Seven Bar). Seven Bar owns and operates three FBOs located in Farmington and Albuquerque, New Mexico and Sun Valley, Idaho.
The cost of the acquisition, including transaction costs, was $41.8 million and the Company has pre-funded integration costs of $300,000. The Company financed the acquisition with part of the $56.0 million of borrowings under the MIC Inc. revolving acquisition credit facility.
For a description of related party transactions associated with the Companys acquisition, see Note 13, Related Party Transactions. The acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations of Seven Bar are included in the consolidated statements of operations and as a component of the Companys airport services business segment since March 4, 2008.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price, including transaction costs, was as follows ($ in thousands):
Current assets | $ | 1,147 | ||
Property, equipment and leasehold improvements | 10,244 | |||
Intangible assets: |
||||
Customer relationships | 690 | |||
Contract rights | 26,370 | |||
Non-compete agreements | 50 | |||
Goodwill | 4,966 | |||
Total assets acquired | 43,467 | |||
Current liabilities | 1,296 | |||
Other liabilities | 370 | |||
Net assets acquired | $ | 41,801 |
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.

(1) | In April 2008, the airport parking business acquired land, that was previously leased, for $13.5 million. The business also reversed the $1.5 million accrued rent liability in relation to this land, resulting in a net book value of $12.0 million. The business has taken steps to effect the sale of the portion of the land acquired in excess of the requirements for the parking facility, which is at least half of the land. Therefore, $6.0 million of the acquired land is included in property, equipment, land and leasehold improvements and the remainder is disclosed as land-available for sale, in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The airport parking business has entered an agreement with a potential buyer, which the buyer may terminate at their discretion until August 8, 2008. In the event that this sale is not completed, the business will continue to pursue its sale strategy with other buyers. The business expects to complete the sale within the next year. |

(1) | Under the terms of its loan arrangement, the airport parking business is required to undertake certain capital improvements and environmental remediation. The due date for completion was June 2008. The airport parking business has made progress on these projects but has not completed them. The airport parking business sought, and obtained, a waiver on this covenant from the lender extending the due date until June 2009, to allow the business additional time to fulfill the requirements. |
The Company and its businesses have in place variable-rate debt. Management believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments. To meet this objective, the Company enters into interest rate swap and cap agreements to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk on a majority of its variable-rate debt.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments, or FASB No. 133, the Company has concluded that all of its interest rate swaps and caps qualify as cash flow hedges, and the Company applies hedge accounting for these instruments. 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
11
income or loss. Any ineffective portion on the change in the valuation of derivatives is taken through earnings, and reported in the gain or loss on derivative instruments line.
At June 30, 2008, the Company had $1.5 billion of long-term debt, $1.3 billion of which was hedged with interest rate swaps, $58.7 million of which was hedged with interest rate caps, $92.6 million of which was unhedged and $6.4 million of which incurred interest at fixed rates.

In accordance with FASB No. 133, the Companys derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. The Company measures derivative instruments at fair value using the income approach, which converts future amounts (being the future net cash settlements expected under the derivative contracts) to a discounted present value. These valuations primarily utilize observable (level 2) inputs including contractual terms, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals.

The airport services business reportable segment principally derives income from fuel sales and from other airport services. Airport services revenue includes fuel-related services, de-icing, aircraft hangarage, airport management and other aviation services. All of the revenue of the airport services business is generated in the United States. The airport services business operated 72 FBOs and managed six airports under management contracts as of June 30, 2008. In January 2008, the Company entered an agreement to sell its airport management business, and expects to complete the sale in the second half of 2008.
The revenue from the gas production and distribution business reportable segment is included in revenue from product sales and includes distribution and sales of synthetic natural gas, or SNG, and liquefied petroleum gas, or 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. The utility revenue of the gas production and distribution business includes fuel adjustment charges, or FACs, through which changes in fuel costs are passed through to customers.
13
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. The airport parking business operates 30 off-airport parking facilities located in 20 major airport markets across the United States.
Selected information by reportable segment is presented in the following tables. The tables do not include financial data for equity and cost investments.

The Company expects to incur a net operating loss for federal consolidated tax return purposes, as well as certain states that provide for consolidated returns, for the year ending December 31, 2008. The Company believes that it will be able to utilize the projected federal and certain state consolidated 2008 and prior year losses. Accordingly, the Company has not provided a valuation allowance against any deferred tax assets generated in 2008, except as noted below.
In calculating its consolidated projected state income tax expense for 2008, the Company expects to provide a valuation allowance for losses, the utilization of which is not assured beyond any reasonable doubt. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries expect to incur certain expenses that will not be deductible in determining state taxable income, and has excluded those expenses in estimating its state income tax expense for 2008.
At December 31, 2007, the Company and its subsidiaries had a reserve of approximately $1.0 million for benefits taken during 2007 and prior tax periods attributable to tax positions for which the probability of recognition is not considered to be more likely than not. There was no material change in that reserve as of June 30, 2008.
There are no material legal proceedings other than as disclosed in Part I, Item 3 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2008.

On May 5, 2008, the board of directors declared a distribution of $0.645 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, which was paid on June 10, 2008 to holders of record on June 4, 2008.
These distributions were recorded as a reduction to LLC interests in the members equity section of the consolidated condensed balance sheet.
On August 4, 2008, the board of directors declared a distribution of $0.645 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, payable on September 11, 2008 to holders of record on September 4, 2008.

We own, operate and invest in a diversified group of infrastructure businesses that provide basic, every day services, such as utilities, parking and water, to businesses and individuals primarily in the U.S. The businesses we own and operate 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. These infrastructure businesses generally operate in sectors with limited competition and barriers to entry resulting from a variety of factors including high initial development and construction costs, the existence of long-term contracts or the requirement to obtain government approvals and lack of immediate cost-efficient alternatives to the services that we provide. Overall they tend to generate sustainable and growing long-term cash flows. We operate and finance our businesses in a manner that maximizes these cash flows.
We are dependent upon cash distributions from our businesses to meet our corporate overhead, to pay management fees and to pay distributions to shareholders. Distributions received from our businesses, net of taxes, are available first to meet management fees and corporate overhead expenses, then to fund distribution payments to our shareholders. 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.
During 2007, we paid distributions of $0.57 per share in April 2007, $0.59 per share in June 2007, $0.605 per share in September 2007 and $0.62 per share in December 2007. During 2008, we paid a distribution of $0.635 per share in March 2008 and $0.645 per share in June 2008. On August 4, 2008, the board of directors declared a distribution of $0.645 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, payable on September 11, 2008 to holders of record on September 4, 2008.
During 2007, we acquired 29 fixed base operations, or FBOs, and in the first quarter of 2008 we acquired an additional three FBOs. With these acquisitions, our airport services business owns and operates a network of 72 FBOs in the United States, the largest such network in the industry. Results of operations for acquisitions are included in our consolidated results from the respective dates of each acquisition.
Refer to Other Matters at the end of this Item 2 for discussion of forward-looking statements and certain defined terms.
For 2008, shareholders will need to include in taxable income the portion of our distributions that are characterized as a dividend. The portion of our 2008 distributions that will be treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes is subject to a number of uncertainties. It is likely that a substantial portion of our 2008 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.
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 Internal Revenue Service.
On January 1, 2008, we partially adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, or FASB No. 157. See Note 3, New Accounting Pronouncements, to our consolidated condensed financial statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q, which is incorporated herein by reference, for more details about FASB No. 157.
We measure our derivative instruments at fair value on a recurring (quarterly) basis, utilizing mostly level 2 inputs such as contractual terms, market prices, interest rates (for example, LIBOR) and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals. Recent market conditions, including interest rate decreases, have resulted in the fair value of our derivative instruments being in liability positions, based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. We do not believe the increase in these liabilities will have an adverse impact
22
on our ability to meet our ongoing cash flow requirements, including the funding of our distributions. We base our assessment on our business demonstrated ability overall to generate, and to continue to generate, significant operating cash flow.
All discussion below relates to both the quarter and six month periods presented, unless stated otherwise.
| positive contributions to our results arising from the acquisitions of 29 FBOs during 2007 and three FBOs in the first quarter of 2008, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses due to the increased size of our airport services business and higher interest expense from the debt funding of some of these acquisitions; |
| performance fees of $44.0 million for the first six months of 2007 due to the out-performance of our stock price versus the benchmark index, compared with none in 2008; |
| increased interest expense due to higher levels of debt from refinancings in the second half of 2007; and |
| higher equity in earnings from our 50% interest in our bulk liquid storage terminal business (also referred to as IMTT). |

The increase in our consolidated gross profit and operating expenses, including selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization and interest expense, was primarily due to acquisitions made by our airport services business in 2007 and the first quarter of 2008. Depreciation expense also increased due to capital expenditures in existing businesses resulting in higher asset balances. The increase in interest expense was due to a higher average level of debt outstanding, resulting from additional debt drawn to fund the FBO acquisitions, and also from re-financings in the second half of 2007.
The fees to manager for 2007 were higher primarily due to performance fees of $957,000 earned in the first quarter of 2007 and $43.0 million in the second quarter of 2007, compared to none in 2008. Macquarie

Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., our Manager, elected to reinvest these performance fees in additional LLC interests. Base fees in 2008 decreased by $1.4 million for both the quarter and six month periods due to our lower market capitalization.
Our equity in the earnings of IMTT increased due to improved operating results from that business, lower interest expense in 2008 due to a $12.3 million make-whole payment from a refinancing in 2007 and non-cash derivative-related gains of $18.0 million for the second quarter of 2008 compared with $4.7 million in the second quarter of 2007. IMTT has elected not to apply hedge accounting, therefore changes in the fair value of its derivative instruments are recorded in IMTTs earnings.
Under our shareholders agreement, cash distributions to us from IMTT, after December 31, 2008, will generally be based on IMTTs cash flow from operating activities less maintenance and environmental capital expenditures, subject to prudent reserves and legal net asset requirements. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are unlikely to have a material impact on net assets and do not impact the distributions under the shareholders agreement as they are non-cash in nature.
We have received $7.0 million in cash distributions from IMTT each quarter since completing our investment in May 2006. These distributions are not recorded in earnings, but are recorded against our investment in the business on our balance sheet and are shown as cash provided by operating activities in our statements of cash flows for the portion up to our 50% share of IMTTs positive earnings. Distributions when IMTT records a net loss, or the amount of the distribution in excess of our share of its earnings, are reflected in our consolidated cash flow from investing activities. For the first six months of 2008, $6.6 million of the $14.0 million dividends received were included in cash from operating activities and $7.4 million were included in investing activities. For the first six months of 2007, $2.3 million was included in cash from operating activities and $11.7 million was included in cash from investing activities.
For the 2007 year, we reported a consolidated net loss before income taxes, for which we recorded a deferred tax benefit, net of certain state net operating losses from our airport parking business.
For the year ending December 31, 2008, we expect to have consolidated taxable loss for federal and for certain state income tax purposes. We expect to utilize the projected federal and state tax losses, except as noted below, and any prior year losses.
In calculating our consolidated projected state income tax expense for 2008, we expect to provide a valuation allowance for current year losses at our airport parking business, the utilization of which is not assured beyond any reasonable doubt. In addition, we expect to incur certain expenses that will not be deductible in determining state taxable income, and have excluded those expenses in estimating our state income tax expense for 2008.
We have included EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, on a consolidated basis as well as for each of our 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 72 fixed base operations around the United States. This revenue is categorized
29
according to who owns the fuel we use to service these aircraft. If we own the fuel, we record our cost to purchase that fuel as cost of revenue-fuel. Our corresponding fuel revenue is our cost to purchase that fuel plus a margin. We generally pursue a strategy of maintaining, and where appropriate increasing, dollar margins, thereby passing any increase in fuel prices to the customer. We also have into-plane arrangements whereby we fuel aircraft with fuel owned by another party. We collect a fee for this service that is recorded as non-fuel revenue. Other non-fuel revenue includes various services such as hangar rentals, de-icing and other airport services. Cost of revenue non-fuel includes our cost to provide these services.
The key factors for our revenue and gross profit are fuel volume and dollar based 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 gross profit growth in the second quarter and first half of the year was primarily due to the inclusion of the results of the new sites since the date of each acquisition. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, gross profit at existing locations increased slightly mainly due to increased revenue from other services, including de-icing, hangar rent and office rent and relatively flat fuel margins. This increase was partially offset by lower fuel volumes.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2008, gross profit at our existing locations declined primarily due to lower fuel volumes with relatively flat average dollar based margins per gallon and offset by higher hangar and office rent. We attribute the volume decline to a decrease in general aviation transient traffic. We believe the decline in transient traffic is due primarily to overall soft economic conditions which have contributed to a general decrease in corporate activity. This affects our business by decreasing business-related general aviation activity. The continuation or worsening of the current economic conditions could exacerbate this effect on our business.
While we generally seek to maintain or increase a dollar based margin per gallon through a premium service offering, recent increases in fuel prices have led to an increased focus on cost by some of our customers which may cause a decrease in average margins in the future, although it has not to date. In addition, some of our competitors are pursuing more aggressive pricing strategies that may result in increased margin pressure. We believe further increases to the historically high levels of fuel prices experienced during the quarter could cause this situation to worsen, while declines from these historical peak prices could mitigate the effects on our business.
The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses for the existing locations is due primarily to higher credit card fees resulting from higher jet fuel prices. Average spot jet fuel prices increased more than 66% in the first half of the year. Excluding credit card fees, selling, general and administrative expenses would have increased by less than 1%.
Typically, the selling, general and administrative expenses-to-gross profit ratio of our acquisitions is initially higher than the ratio at the existing locations as we temporarily maintain the pre-acquisition cost structure and incur certain integration expenses during a transition period. Integration expenses are typically pre-funded at acquisition. As the acquired businesses become fully integrated, we expect our ratio of selling, general and administrative expenses-to-gross profit to improve.
The increase in total interest expense is due to the increased debt level for borrowings to finance some of our acquisitions, as well as our new debt facility established in October 2007 which refinanced all existing borrowings outstanding at the time.
Excluding the non-cash gains and losses from derivative instruments, EBITDA at existing locations would have remained flat year-to-date and decreased by 4.8% in the quarter ended June 30, 2008 and EBITDA at all locations would have increased 45.3% and 37.2% in the first half and the second quarter of 2008, respectively.
30
We account for our 50% interest in this business under the equity method. We recognized income of $6.6 million in our consolidated results for the six months ended June 30, 2008. This includes our 50% share of IMTTs net income for the period of $8.9 million, partially offset by $2.3 million of additional depreciation and amortization expense (net of taxes). For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized income of $2.3 million in our consolidated results. This included our 50% share of IMTTs net income for the six months of $4.8 million, partially offset by $2.5 million of additional depreciation and amortization expense (net of taxes) and other items.
We have received $7.0 million in cash distributions from IMTT each quarter since completing our investment in May 2006. These distributions, to the degree classified as taxable dividends and not a return of capital for income tax purposes, qualify for the federal dividends received deduction; therefore, 80% of this amount is excluded in calculating our consolidated federal taxable income. Any distributions classified as a return of capital for income tax purposes will reduce our tax basis in IMTT.
To enable meaningful analysis of IMTTs performance across periods, IMTTs overall performance is discussed below, rather than IMTTs contribution to our consolidated results.
Terminal revenue and terminal gross profit increased principally due to:
| increases in average tank rental rates; |
| increases in storage capacity rented to customers; |
| increases in throughput revenue; and |
| increases in the provision of other services. |

The increase in terminal revenue reflects growth in all major service segments. Storage revenue grew as the average rental rates charged to customers increased by 18.7% and 17.6% during the quarter and six month periods, respectively. The increase in storage revenue also reflected 4.0% and 3.4% increases in storage capacity rented to customers for the quarter and six month periods, respectively, as the business completed certain expansion projects and reported contributions from a facility acquired in November 2007. Terminal revenue growth also resulted from increases in throughput driven by increased customer activity. In addition, the commencement of some storage services for our principal customer at the Geismar Logistics Center contributed $674,000 for the quarter and $856,000 for the six month period in terminal revenue.
Storage capacity utilization, which was 96% during both the quarter and six month periods of 2007, decreased to 94% for the second quarter and six month periods of 2008 due to an increase in the number of tanks temporarily out of service as a result of tank cleaning and inspection activities related to a mandated
32
spill prevention program as well as unanticipated repairs. The Louisiana sites are expected to maintain capacity utilization at current levels during this program.
Gross profit and margin from terminal services for both the quarter and six month periods improved due to the relatively fixed nature of the operating cost structure of the business. Terminal operating costs reflected increased capacity and higher activity levels. Margin improvement was reduced by the accrual of a $2.0 million excise tax settlement related to IMTTs handling of alcohol during 2005. IMTT experienced similar operating leverage benefits in its general and administrative expenses.
Gross profit from environmental response services increased during the quarter due to increased activity on tank cleaning projects. For the six month period, the decrease in gross profit reflects a general decrease in spill response and emergency response activities compared to the previous year as well as a significant emergency response project in the first quarter of 2007. Due to the recent fuel oil spill near New Orleans, we expect spill response activity, and the resulting revenue and gross profit, to substantially increase in the third quarter of 2008.
Interest costs increased during 2008, due to higher borrowings incurred for capital expenditures. Loss on extinguishment of debt in 2007 primarily comprised 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 $625.0 million revolving credit facility for IMTT.
Other income for the six month period declined due primarily to gains on Hurricane Katrina related insurance settlements in 2007 as well as a gain on the sale of assets.
As part of the refinancing in the second quarter of 2007, IMTT entered into additional interest rate swap arrangements to fix the effective interest rate on the new debt facilities. IMTT elected not to apply hedge accounting to its swaps. As a result, movements in the fair value of IMTTs interest rate derivatives are taken through earnings and reported in the unrealized gains on derivative instruments line in IMTTs financial statements. The unrealized non-cash gains on derivative instruments during the second quarter of 2008 are a result of the recent increase in interest rates.
Excluding unrealized gains from interest rate swap agreements, EBITDA for the quarter and six month periods would have increased by 239.2% and 61.7%, respectively. EBITDA for the 2007 periods includes the $12.3 million make-whole payment from the refinancing, which did not re-occur in 2008.
| increased non-utility contribution margin primarily due to price increases since June 2007, partially offset by higher cost of fuel and increased costs to deliver liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG, to Oahus neighboring islands; and |
| higher relative selling, general and administrative costs primarily due to higher personnel and employee benefit costs. |
Management analyzes contribution margin for the gas production and distribution business (also referred to as TGC) because it believes that contribution margin, although a non-GAAP measure, is useful and meaningful to understanding the performance of TGCs utility operations under its regulated rate structure and of its non-utility operations under a competitive pricing structure. Both structures provide the business with an ability to change rates when underlying feedstock 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. We calculate contribution margin as revenue less direct costs of revenue other than production and transmission and distribution costs. Other companies may calculate contribution margin differently or may use different metrics and, therefore, the contribution margin presented for TGC is not necessarily comparable with metrics of other companies.

Utility contribution margin was relatively unchanged with higher costs of fuel and related revenue taxes passed through to customers. Sales volume in the second quarter and the first six months of 2008 was approximately 2% and 1% lower than the prior comparable periods, respectively. Non-utility contribution margin increased due to customer price increases, partially offset by higher costs of LPG and increases in the cost to transport LPG between islands. The volume of gas products sold in the second quarter and the first six months of 2008 was approximately 4% and 2% lower than the prior comparable periods, respectively.
We believe a number of factors such as rising energy prices and a decline in tourism have contributed to a softening in the Hawaii economy and could cause our volumes to continue to trend downward. This is reflected in lower usage of gas for cooking, laundry services and water heating in tourism-related businesses. Additionally, pricing for synthetic natural gas, or SNG, and LPG is impacted by world oil prices. We pass through these costs in our utility business. For our non-utility business our ability to pass through these
34
elevated costs depends on competitive pressures. As our customers seek to lower their energy costs overall, conservation actions may also cause our sales volumes to decline.
Additionally, the cash effect of lower fuel cost adjustments included in customer billings for the utility business was offset by withdrawals from an escrow account that was established and funded at the time of our acquisition, by the seller. For the second quarter of 2008 and 2007, withdrawals were $264,000 and $331,000, respectively. For the first six months of 2008 and 2007, withdrawals were $1.3 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The escrowed funds were fully exhausted this quarter and therefore will no longer 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 and other assets.
Production, transmission and distribution costs were slightly higher primarily due to increased electricity costs and personnel costs, respectively. Selling, general and administrative costs were higher due to higher personnel and employee benefit costs and an increase in bad debt reserves principally as a result of the Aloha Airlines bankruptcy.
We recently renewed an LPG supply agreement which indexes our cost to the principal U.S. market index for propane. Generally, we pass through these costs to our customers, subject to rate regulation and competitive constraints. In August 2008, TGC submitted an application to the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission requesting an approximate 8.4% increase in utility gas rates. To the extent that new rates are approved by regulators, we expect that any rate increases would take effect in the third quarter of 2009. Our last utility rate increase occurred in 2001.
Excluding the non-cash gains and losses on derivative instruments, EBITDA would have increased by 10.6% and 7.3% for the quarter and six month periods, respectively.
| increased capacity revenue due to annual inflation-linked increases in contract capacity rates; |

Cooling capacity revenue is a fixed monthly charge based on the maximum amount of chilled water that we have contracted to make available to a customer at any point in time. Cooling consumption revenue is a variable charge based on the volume of chilled water actually used. Capacity charges are typically adjusted annually at a fixed rate or are indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Consumption charges are generally linked to changes in a number of economic factors. The terms of our customer contracts provide for the pass through of increases or decreases in our electricity costs, the largest component of our direct expenses.
36
Gross profit during the quarter increased primarily as a result of lower maintenance expenditures in the second quarter of 2008. The lower maintenance expenditures were a result of our incurring a higher percentage of pre-season maintenance expenses for system reliability during the first quarter of 2008 as compared to the first quarter in 2007. Gross profit for the six month period was relatively flat versus the prior comparable period. Cooling capacity revenue increased for both the quarter and six month period due to annual inflation-related increases of contract capacity rates in accordance with customer contract terms. Cooling consumption revenue and overall electricity costs decreased due to lower ton-hour sales resulting from cooler than average temperatures in 2008 versus 2007.
Selling, general and administrative expenses during the quarter decreased due to lower insurance costs. Selling, general and administrative costs for the six month period increased primarily due to higher professional fees in 2008 and the partial reversal of accrued management incentives in 2007.
Interest expense increased as a result of higher debt levels associated with the 2007 refinancing and higher non-cash amortization of deferred financing costs.
Excluding the non-cash gains on derivative instruments, EBITDA would have increased by 4.3% for the quarter and would have remained relatively flat for the six month period.

Beginning in the second quarter of 2007, we invested heavily in customer service with management upgrades, operational improvements, systems upgrades and fleet enhancements, and increased the size of our sales force in order to build our customer base to increase revenue. The development of these initiatives was
38
substantially complete by the beginning of the first quarter of 2008, and their implementation was underway at a subset of our locations. In the markets where management focused its attention we began to see improved performance in the first quarter.
In the second quarter of 2008, the U.S. airline industry experienced a number of bankruptcies and various airlines have reduced passenger capacity significantly. The revenue of our airport parking business is correlated to the number of passengers boarding flights at the airports that we serve. In the second quarter of 2008, we experienced overall declines in revenue, reversing our prior positive trend. Further planned reductions in passenger capacity at airports that we serve would generally have a similar effect. In addition, demand shifted from valet parking towards our lower priced self park offering. However, our second quarter cost run rate was generally consistent with first quarter levels except for the reduction in rent expense resulting from the purchase of previously leased property (approximately $1.2 million annually). In addition, we recorded an additional $583,000 accrual ($1.1 million in total for 2008) related to state sales tax which is not an ongoing expense.
Our revised expectations of enplanement growth and the consequential downward revision of our cashflow projections triggered an impairment analysis of our airport parking business. It was determined that no impairment charge to goodwill or other intangible assets was required in the second quarter of 2008. See Critical Accounting Estimates in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Part I, Item 2 of this Form 10-Q for a discussion of the impairment analysis. We are unable to predict to what extent these conditions will continue or worsen, potentially resulting in future write-downs of goodwill or other intangible assets in this business.
In July 2008, we acquired a self-park parking facility in Newark adjacent to Newark Liberty International Airport in order to take advantage of the trend towards the lower priced self-park option. The acquisition strengthens our position in a historically robust market.
We recently entered into an agreement settling our trademark dispute over the brand FastTrack which reduces our potential exposure to costs of rebranding our entire business but restricts our ability to use the brand in certain situations.
Excluding the non-cash unrealized gains on derivatives EBITDA would have decreased by 33.1% and 37.7% for the quarter and six months, respectively.
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 our debt obligations and our distribution program. We base our assessment on the following assumptions:
| our businesses and investments overall 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 or available financing, including release of debt service reserves; |
| all significant short-term growth capital expenditure will be funded with cash on hand or from committed undrawn debt facilities; and |
| we will be able to refinance maturing debt on reasonable terms. |
In addition, we have a $300.0 million revolving acquisition credit facility, of which $231.0 million is currently available, which matures in 2010.
In light of current market conditions and the increasing tightening of the credit markets, assumptions regarding our ability to refinance maturing debt on reasonable terms may be subject to significant risk. See Risk Factors in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2008.
39
As discussed elsewhere in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, economic conditions affecting U.S. commercial air traffic, in particular actual and announced capacity reductions and airline bankruptcies, have led to lower enplanements and resulted in declines in the revenue and consequently the overall performance of our airport parking business. If the performance of our airport parking business does not improve it may not satisfy the terms of its debt covenants including those required to extend the maturity of its debt for up to an additional two years beyond its scheduled maturity in September 2009. During the second and third quarters of 2008, we have contributed a total of $1.5 million in cash to support the business' ongoing operations and to enable the business to pay its $1.1 million state sales tax assessment and maintain its minimum liquidity requirements under its debt facility. The business may require additional funding from us in future periods to maintain its liquidity requirements and support its operations, although it is unlikely that such funding for these purposes would have a material impact on our ability meet our obligations or make distributions to our shareholders.
In order for the airport parking business to be able to extend its debt beyond September 2009 without additional contributions from us, its EBITDA would need to improve significantly or it would have to repay a potentially significant portion of its outstanding debt. We intend to continue to execute a strategy that we believe will improve the performance of this business, as well as aggressively pursue the refinancing of the business debt. These efforts could include further capital contributions to the business by us in cash or contributions to the collateral pool of other properties in the business not currently in the pool. Significant cash contributions by us or an inability to extend or refinance the business debt facility in 2009 could have an adverse impact on our ability to pay distributions to our shareholders. Please see Airport Parking Business below for a further discussion of this debt facility and, more generally, the liquidity and capital resources of our airport parking business.
The section below discusses the sources and uses of cash on a consolidated basis, and for each of our businesses and investments. All inter-company activities such as corporate allocation, capital contributions to our businesses and distributions from our consolidated businesses, have been excluded from the below tables as these transactions are eliminated on consolidation. Prior period comparatives have also been updated to remove these inter-company activities.

Consolidated cash provided by operating activities mainly comprises the cash from operations of the businesses we own, as described in each respective business discussion below. The cash flow from our consolidated business operations is partially offset by expenses paid at the corporate level, such as base management fees, professional fees and interest on any amounts drawn on our revolving credit facility.
The decrease in consolidated cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to:
| a $4.0 million increase in working capital balances in 2008 primarily due to higher accounts receivable balances from increased fuel prices, compared to an $8.7 million decrease in 2007; |
| increased interest expense due to higher levels of debt; partially offset by |
| the inclusion of $6.6 million in equity distributions from IMTT in cash provided by operating activities in 2008, with the remaining $7.4 million in cash from investing activities. This compares to the inclusion of $2.3 million in cash provided by operating activities in 2007 with the remaining $11.7 million in cash from investing activities. |
40
We believe our operating activities overall provide a source of sustainable and growing cash flows over the long-term due to:
| Consistent customer demand driven by the basic everyday nature of the services provided; |
| our strong competitive position due to factors including: |
| high initial development and construction costs; |
| difficulty in obtaining suitable land near many of our operations (for example, airports, waterfront near ports); |
| long-term concessions/contracts; |
| required government approvals, which may be difficult or time-consuming to obtain; |
| lack of cost-efficient alternatives to the services we provide in the foreseeable future; and |
| product/service pricing that we expect to generally keep pace with inflation due to factors including: |
| consistent demand; |
| limited alternatives; |
| contractual terms; and |
| regulatory rate setting. |
The change in the cash used in investing activities was primarily due to:
| lower cost of acquisition made in 2008 (Seven Bar) compared with 2007 (Supermarine); |
| $13.5 million paid for the purchase of a parking lot in 2008; |
| inclusion of $11.7 million in equity distributions from IMTT in cash from investing activities in 2007 (with the remaining $2.3 million in cash provided by operating activities), compared to $7.4 million in 2008 (with the remaining $6.6 million being reported in cash provided by operating activities); and |
| receipt of approximately $85.0 million as sale proceeds in January 2007 from the disposition of our interest in Macquarie Yorkshire Limited in December 2006. |
Distributions from IMTT are reflected in our consolidated cash provided by operating activities only up to our 50% share of IMTTs positive earnings. Amounts in excess of this, and also distributions when IMTT records a net loss, are reflected in our consolidated cash from investing activities.
The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to:
| proceeds from the drawdown on the MIC Inc. revolving acquisition facility of $56.0 million in February 2008, primarily to fund the acquisition of Seven Bar FBOs and property previously leased by our airport parking business; |
| lower debt drawdowns by our airport services business, gas production and distribution business and district energy business; partially offset by |
| higher distributions paid to our shareholders. |
The financial covenant requirements under our MIC Inc. revolving acquisition facility, and the calculation of these measures at quarter end, were as follows:
| Ratio of Debt to Consolidated Adjusted Cash from Operations < 5.6x (at June 30, 2008: 0.57x) |
| Ratio of Consolidated Adjusted Cash from Operations to Interest Expense > 2.0x (at June 30, 2008: 60.56x) |
41
| Minimum EBITDA (as defined in the facility) of $100.0 million (at June 30, 2008: $170.3 million) |

(1) | We provided our airport services business with $41.9 million of funding in 2008 which was used to pay for the acquisition of Seven Bar FBOs (reflected above in cash used in investing activities) and to pre-fund integration costs. We also provided $58.3 million in 2007 which was used to pay for the acquisition of Supermarine FBOs and to pre-fund integration costs, and $3.6 million to fund growth capital expenditures (both of which are also reflected above in cash used in investing activities). These contributions from us are not reflected in cash provided by financing activities above, as they are eliminated on consolidation. |
Operating cash at our airport services business is generated from sales transactions primarily paid by credit cards. Some customers are extended payment terms and billed accordingly. Offsetting these cash receipts are payments mainly to vendors of fuel, aircraft services and professional services, as well as payroll costs and payments to tax jurisdictions. Cash provided by operations increased in 2008 due primarily to operating results of our acquisitions partially offset by an increase in interest expense reflecting higher debt levels and higher receivables mainly stemming from increased fuel sale prices. Higher jet fuel prices typically result in an increase in receivables as receivables include both the fuel margins charged by our airport services business and the cost of fuel, which is primarily based on spot jet fuel prices. Average first half 2008 spot jet fuel prices increased by more than 23% since December 2007.
Cash used in investing activities relates primarily to our acquisitions and capital expenditures. Cash paid for our acquisition of Seven Bar FBOs in the first quarter of 2008, net of cash acquired, was $41.5 million. We funded the acquisition with borrowings under our MIC Inc. revolving acquisition facility that we contributed to the business. This compares to a purchase price of $86.7 million, net of cash acquired, for the acquisition of Supermarine in 2007, of which we funded $32.5 million in new debt at the business level and the remainder through contributions by us to the business.
Maintenance expenditures are generally funded by cash from operating activities and growth capital expenditures are generally funded with drawdown on capital expenditure facilities or equity contributions from us.
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 operating activities.
Growth capital projects expected to be completed through 2009 total approximately $50.0 million primarily for hangars, terminal buildings, fuel farms and ramp upgrades. We intend to fund these projects through our $50.0 million capital expenditure facility.
42
The FBO leases at three of our locations have been extended or renewed, including our ground lease at our Charleston FBO, which was due to expire in 2008. As a result of the lease extensions and renewal, the airport service business weighted average remaining lease life has increased by half a year to approximately 18.4 years. Growth capital expenditure requirements associated with the lease extensions and renewal total approximately $3.5 million.
The following table sets forth information about capital expenditures in our airport services business:
Maintenance | Growth | |||||||
Six months ended June 30, 2007 | $ | 2.4 million | $ | 2.6 million | ||||
Six months ended June 30, 2008 | $ | 5.2 million | $ | 14.8 million | ||||
2008 full year estimated | $ | 9.1 million | $ | 31.7 million | ||||
Commitments at June 30, 2008 | | $ | 405,000 |
The increases in maintenance capital expenditures are primarily due to an increased number of locations arising from our acquisitions. We generally expect annual maintenance capital expenditures to average between $150,000 and $200,000 per location to provide necessary upgrades and refurbishment of our facilities as well as additions to and replacement of our ground support equipment fleet. We expect to spend less than that in 2008 due to the good condition of acquired facilities.
The increased growth capital expenditures in 2008 primarily relates to the construction of a new hangar at the San Jose FBO and a ramp repair and extension at our Teterboro location. We are funding the remainder of these projects for 2008 with available borrowings under the airport services business capital expenditure facility.
The changes in cash provided by financing activities is primarily due to the additional debt associated with the purchase of Supermarine in May 2007, compared with only growth capital expenditure funding in 2008.
The financial covenant requirements under the airport services business debt and credit facilities, and the calculation of these measures at quarter end, were as follows:
| Debt Service Coverage Ratio > 1.2x or 1.6x for cash lock-up (at June 30, 2008: 2.1x) |
| Leverage Ratio < 7.75x (at June 30, 2008: 6.1x) |
| Minimum EBITDA (as defined in the debt facility) > $124.8 million (at June 30, 2008: $151.1 million) |
For a description of the material terms of the airport services business debt and credit facilities, see Liquidity and Capital Resources in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. We have not had any material changes to these debt and credit facilities since February 28, 2008, our 10-K filing date.
The following analysis represents 100% of the cash flows of IMTT, which we believe is the most appropriate and meaningful approach to discussing the historical cash flow trends of IMTT, rather than just the composition of cash flows that is included in our consolidated cash flows. We equity account our 50% ownership of this business, so distributions are reflected in our consolidated cash flow from operating activities only up to our 50% share of IMTTs positive earnings. Distributions when IMTT records a net loss or in excess of our share of its earnings are reflected in the consolidated cash flow from investing activities. We have received a quarterly dividend of $7.0 million since completing our investment in May 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, $6.6 million was included in our consolidated cash from operating activities and $7.4 million was included in our consolidated cash from investing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, $2.3 million was included in consolidated cash from operating activities and $11.7 million was included in consolidated cash from investing activities.

Cash provided by operating activities at IMTT is generated primarily from storage rentals and ancillary services that are billed monthly and paid on various terms. Offsetting these cash receipts are payments mainly for payroll costs, maintenance and repair of fixed assets, utilities and professional services and payments to tax jurisdictions. Cash provided by operating activities decreased despite the increase in operating income due to timing differences in cash contributions to the IMTT pension plan (second quarter 2008 versus third quarter 2007) and a change in the funding procedures for checks outstanding at the end of the quarter as well as increased interest payments reflecting increased borrowings.
Cash used in investing activities relates primarily to capital expenditures on an ongoing basis, as discussed below.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, IMTT spent $22.2 million on maintenance capital expenditures, including $18.8 million principally in relation to tank refurbishments and dock repairs and $3.3 million on environmental capital expenditures, principally in relation to improvements in containment measures and remediation.
Since our May 2006 investment in IMTT, the business has undertaken a total of $459.9 million in expansion projects and acquired the Joliet facility for $18.5 million. As shown in the following table, these growth initiatives are expected to add or refurbish approximately 7.9 million barrels of capacity which will contribute $63.7 million to gross profit and EBITDA on an annualized basis. It is anticipated that the capital expenditures will be funded using a combination of IMTTs cash flow from operations and its debt facilities.
The largest expansion project is the construction of a bulk liquid chemical storage and logistics facility on the Mississippi River at Geismar, LA. IMTT expects to spend approximately $202.4 million on this 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 minimum terminal gross profit and EBITDA of approximately $18.8 million per year. The logistics facility began limited storage and terminalling operations in April 2008 and will be substantially complete in August 2008. Along with the construction of this phase of the storage and logistics operations, IMTT spent an incremental $16.0 million to install an additional 432,000 barrels of storage capacity, which began operation during February 2008 and should generate incremental annual gross profit and EBITDA of $2.8 million.
IMTT recently initiated an expansion project at its St. Rose, LA facility that is expected to add up to 1.8 million barrels of new capacity and improve associated infrastructure. The initial $87.4 million phase of this project has been approved by the relevant regulatory agencies and is reflected in the growth capital expenditures total in the table below. IMTT anticipates the second phase of this project will require additional approvals to incur $17.2 million in capital expenditures and that completion of both phases will occur in the first quarter of 2010.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, IMTT spent $90.5 million on specific growth projects, including $58.8 million in relation to the construction of the new bulk liquid chemical storage facility at Geismar, LA, $9.7 million principally for the construction of new storage tanks at its other three sites in Louisiana, and $12.3 million for tank construction and refurbishment at its Bayonne, NJ facility. The balance of the expenditure on specific expansion projects related to a number of smaller projects to improve the capabilities of IMTTs facilities.
The following table sets forth information about IMTTs capital expenditures:
Maintenance | Growth | |||||||
Six months ended June 30, 2007 | $ | 14.2 million | $ | 68.7 million | ||||
Six months ended June 30, 2008 | $ | 22.2 million | $ | 90.5 million | ||||

Commitments at June 30, 2008 | $ | 20.8 million | $ | 59.5 million |
We have increased our estimated capital expenditures for 2008 due to the following factors:
| higher than anticipated growth capital expenditures for the completion of the new facility at Geismar, LA, initiation of a major expansion project at St. Rose, LA, and completion of a new infrastructure upgrade project at the Bayonne facility; and |
| likely increases in maintenance capital expenditures related to the acceleration of mandated tank cleaning and inspection program during the balance of 2008, which is expected to have a decreasing impact in future years. |
After December 31, 2008, our distributions from IMTT will convert from a fixed amount to a variable amount generally based on IMTTs cash flow from operating activities less maintenance and environmental capital expenditures. Capital expenditures related to the mandated tank cleaning and inspection program will reduce amounts that would otherwise be distributed to us from IMTT. The increase in capital expenditure on this program in 2008 reflects an acceleration in the rate at which tanks are being cleaned and inspected. The rate of expenditure on this program is expected to decline in 2009 as the number of tanks to be cleaned and inspected declines.
The increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to an increase in borrowing under the revolving credit facility.
Pursuant to the terms of the shareholders agreement between ourselves and the other shareholders in IMTT, all shareholders in IMTT other than us were required to loan all dividends received by them (excluding the $100.0 million dividend paid to prior existing shareholders at the closing of our investment in IMTT), net of tax payable in relation to such dividends, through the quarter ended 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
45
IMTT Holdings Inc. with equal quarterly amortization that commenced March 31, 2008. Shareholder loans of $37.8 million were outstanding as at June 30, 2008.
The financial covenant requirements under IMTTs debt and credit facilities, and the calculation of these measures at quarter end, were as follows:
USD Revolving Credit Facility | Canadian Dollar Revolving Credit Facility | |||
Debt to EBITDA Ratio: Max 4.75x (at June 30, 2008: 3.55x) |

The main drivers for cash provided by operating activities are customer receipts and amounts withdrawn from restricted cash escrow account; timing of payments for fuel, materials, pipeline repairs, vendor services and supplies. The decrease from 2007 to 2008 was primarily due to higher accounts receivable balances resulting from higher sales prices and increased inventory purchases each resulting from higher fuel costs, partially offset by higher accounts payable balances from the timing of inventory purchases.
The main drivers for cash used in investing activities are capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for the non-utility business are funded by cash from operating activities and capital expenditures for the utility business are funded both by drawing on credit facilities as well as cash from operating activities.
Maintenance capital expenditures include costs associated with ongoing operations. This includes replacement of pipeline sections, improvements to our transmission system and SNG plant, improvements to buildings and other property and the purchases of vehicles and equipment. Maintenance capital expenditure for 2008 is expected to be lower than previously reported by $700,000 primarily due to our deferral of a large pipeline replacement project to 2009.
Growth capital expenditures include the purchases of meters, regulators and propane tanks for new customers, the cost of installing pipelines for new residential and commercial construction and the costs of new commercial energy projects. Growth capital expenditure for 2008 is expected to be $300,000 higher than previously reported primarily due to an increase in materials costs.
We expect to fund approximately half of our total 2008 capital expenditures with debt facilities that are maintained principally for the benefit of our utility operations.

As a condition of our purchase of TGC in June 2006, Hawaii regulators required that TGC maintain a debt to total capital ratio of no more than 65% as calculated at the end of each quarter. At June 30, 2008 this ratio was 62.4%. The financial covenants triggering distribution lock-up under the gas production and distribution business debt and credit facilities, and the calculation of these measures at quarter end, were as follows:
| 12 mo. Look-Backward Adjusted EBITDA/Interest > 3.5x (at June 30, 2008: 4.97x) |

Cash provided by operating activities is primarily driven by customer receipts for services provided and for leased equipment, the timing of payments for electricity and vendor services or supplies and the payment of payroll and benefit costs.
The main drivers for cash used in investing activities are capital expenditures which are generally funded by drawing on available credit facilities. The decrease from 2007 to 2008 was primarily due to a higher level of growth capital expenditures for plant expansion in 2007.
Our district energy business expects to spend up to $1.0 million per year on capital expenditures relating to the replacement of parts, system reliability, customer service improvements and minor system modifications of which $254,000 has been spent during the first six months of 2008. Maintenance capital expenditures through 2012 will be funded from available debt facilities.
We completed the expansion of one of our plants in 2007, and we expect to complete the associated expansion of our distribution system in 2008. For the entire project, we anticipate spending approximately $8.1 million. As of June 30, 2008, $7.4 million has been spent or committed. Management has also identified projects to further expand the current system capability to accommodate the increased demand for district cooling in Chicago. We estimate making additional capital expenditures of approximately $7.4 million
47
connecting new customers to the system and implementing minor system modifications and improvements through 2010. As of June 30, 2008, $2.8 million has been spent and an additional $1.3 million committed for new customer connections. Typically, new customers will reimburse our district energy business for a substantial portion of these connection expenditures, effectively reducing the impact of this capital expenditure.
Based upon discussions with current and potential customers and subject to finalization of service dates, we expect annual gross profit and EBITDA to increase by approximately $5.3 million by 2011. New customers generally have up to two years after their initial service date to increase capacity up to their final contracted tons which may defer a small portion of the expected EBITDA. We anticipate that the expanded capacity sold to new or existing customers will be under contract or subject to letters of intent prior to our district energy business committing to the capital expenditure. As of July 23, 2008, we have signed contracts with eleven new customers representing approximately 94% ($4.9 million) of this additional gross profit and EBITDA increase. One customer began service in late 2006, two customers began service in 2007, and the remaining eight will begin service in 2009. We have identified the likely purchasers of the remaining saleable capacity and expect to have contracts signed by 2009.
In addition, a building that houses one of our plants is being renovated and expanded. As per our lease agreement, we are obligated to pay for necessary modifications of this facility to accommodate the buildings expansion. We are taking advantage of this opportunity to expand our system capabilities in conjunction with the building expansion. We anticipate spending up to approximately $11.0 million over 2008 through 2009. As of June 30, 2008, $210,000 has been spent and an additional $1.8 million committed for the building modifications. We expect annual gross profit and EBITDA to increase by approximately $1.3 million by 2010, although a small portion of the additional increase may be deferred until 2011.
We expect to fund the capital expenditure for system expansion and interconnection by drawing on available debt facilities.

Commitments at June 30, 2008 | $ | 247,000 | $ | 3.0 million |
Cash (used in) provided by financing activities is primarily driven by draws on revolving credit facilities and refinancings.
The change from 2007 to 2008 was primarily due to $7.1 million of draws from our revolver facility in 2007 which were used to finance growth capital expenditures.
The financial covenant requirements under the district energy business debt and credit facilities, and the calculation of these measures at quarter end, were as follows:
Distributions permitted if the following conditions are met:
| Backward Interest Coverage Ratio > 1.5x (at June 30, 2008: 2.5x) |
| Leverage Ratio (funds from operations to net debt) for the previous 12 months equal to or greater than 5.5% in years 1 and 2 and thereafter equal to or greater than 6.0% (at June 30, 2008: 10.2%) |

(1) | We provided our airport parking business with $13.3 million of funding in 2008 which was used to pay for the acquisition of property previously leased by the business (with the total cost of $13.5 million being reflected above in cash used in investing activities) and $500,000 for ongoing operational purposes. These contributions are not reflected in cash used in financing activities above, as they are eliminated on consolidation. |
Cash used in operating activities is primarily driven by customer receipts, timing of payments for rent, repairs and maintenance, fuel for shuttle buses, and payroll and benefits. As discussed under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations above, our airport parking business has experienced declining operating performance in the second quarter of 2008. We have previously financed the liquidity needs of our airport parking business with its cash from operating activities as well as existing cash balances. However, in the second quarter of 2008, we contributed $500,000 to the business to support its ongoing operations. In addition, in July 2008 we contributed $1.0 million to enable the business to pay its state sales tax assessment and maintain its minimum liquidity requirements under its debt facility. If the financial performance of our airport parking business does not improve, we will need to provide additional funding in the future.
Cash used in investing activities is primarily driven by capital expenditures and payments for acquisitions. In April 2008, we contributed $13.3 million cash to the business to facilitate the acquisition of property in Oakland for $13.5 million, including transaction costs. The property was previously leased by us and the purchase will eliminate approximately $1.2 million of annual cash rent expense.
In July 2008, we contributed cash to the business to facilitate its acquisition of a self-park parking facility in Newark adjacent to Newark Liberty International Airport. The purchase price paid in July was $11.3 million, including upfront transaction costs.
Maintenance capital projects include site improvements and IT equipment. Management has focused on improving the customer experience with upgrades to shuttle services and facilities. We have reduced our 2008 full year capital expenditure budget by deferring capital expenditure items that are not essential at this time.

For critical accounting estimates, see Critical Accounting Estimates in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. Our critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from the description contained in that Annual Report.
Due to the performance of our airport parking business, as discussed in the Airport Parking Business sections of Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations and Liquidity and Capital Resources, we evaluated our airport parking business goodwill, intangible assets and long-lived assets for impairment at June 30, 2008.
These evaluations are largely dependent on the estimated future cash flows of these assets and the fair value of these items, as determined by management based on a number of estimates, including future cash flow projections, discount rates and terminal values. In determining these estimates, management considers information supplied by management of the airport parking business, valuations prepared by independent appraisal experts, relevant public data on similar companies and information obtained from discussions with market participants. The determination of fair values requires significant judgment both by management and outside experts engaged to assist in this process.
The goodwill impairment test is a two-step process, which requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists of estimating the fair value of the airport parking business based on a discounted cash flow model using revenue and profit forecasts and comparing estimated fair value with the carrying value, which includes goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an implied fair value of goodwill. At June 30, 2008, the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value so the second step was not necessary.
The impairment test for long-lived assets and intangible assets, including trademarks, domain names and customer relationships, is a two-step process which requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step is to determine the undiscounted future cash flows related to the asset or group of assets. If the undiscounted future cash flows exceed the carrying value of the asset, there is no impairment and the second step is not necessary. At June 30, 2008, there was no impairment of our airport parking business long-lived assets or intangible assets.

We cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill, intangible assets and/or long-lived assets. Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on our customer base, or a material negative change in relationship with significant customers.

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, 2007.

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. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2008. There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

The IMTT terminal in Bayonne was required to install vapor control for methanol loading operations at the terminal. The control system was installed but has not provided 100 percent of the required control level at all times. The resulting emissions above the permit limit are very small (approximately 40 pounds to date) and the number of times the unit does not meet the limit is minimal. The terminal is working to improve the control system to meet the limits at all times and is working with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, or NJDEP, to develop a consent agreement to recognize the minimal exceedences and provide for an appropriate fine. There is a published protocol the NJDEP uses to propose an appropriate fine to be negotiated. Based on that protocol, we have estimated the potential fine to be between $36,000 and $140,000. We expect the fine will be substantially less than $100,000.
There are no other 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, 2007, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2008.
Some of our competitors in our airport services business are pursuing more aggressive pricing strategies. These competitors operate FBOs at number of airports where we operate or at airports near where we operate. In addition, the continuation or worsening of current economic conditions may result in an increased focus on cost among our customers and, consequently, a decline in corporate jet usage and increased price sensitivity. These factors may cause our volumes of fuel sales and market share to decline and, to a lesser extent, may result in increased margin pressure, adversely affecting our profitability in this business.
The ongoing downturn in the U.S. economy and the decline in commercial air travel have caused the results of our airport parking business to decline, particularly its revenues, EBITDA and cash from operations. In the past, the business has funded its operations in part with its own cash on hand; however, in the second and third quarters of 2008 we contributed cash to the business to enable it to meet its liquidity requirements. Although we believe we are currently in compliance with each of the financial covenants of the business credit facility, if the performance of the business does not improve in future periods and we do not contribute to the business additional cash and/or additional parking lots currently not part of the collateral pool, the airport parking business may not be able to meet these financial covenants, potentially by the end of the year. To the extent we choose to contribute significant amounts of cash to support this business, amounts available to distribute to our shareholders may decline.
In addition, certain of these covenants are calculated based on valuations of our separate parking locations, which involve a significant degree of management estimates and discretion. The business lenders may disagree with our method of calculating these financial covenants and determine that the business is not in compliance. In either case, absent an amendment, waiver or other relief from the lenders, our airport parking business could be declared in default on its debt. Even if a default does not occur, the decline in the performance of our airport parking business would likely result in its failing to meet the test needed to extend the maturity of the credit facility beyond September 2009. In light of the current credit markets and the performance of the airport parking business, it is uncertain whether we would be able to refinance this debt at maturity or otherwise, without additional cash contributions from us, which would decrease our future distributions to our shareholders.
For other risk factors related to our business, please see Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2008.
