FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
 
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of the Company should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere herein.
 
We own, operate and invest in a diversified group of infrastructure businesses that provide basic services, such as chilled water for building cooling and gas utility services to businesses and individuals primarily in the U.S. The businesses we own and operate are energy-related businesses consisting of: a 50% interest in IMTT, The Gas Company, and our controlling interest in District Energy; and Atlantic Aviation.
 
Our infrastructure businesses generally operate in sectors with limited competition and significant barriers to entry, including high initial development and construction costs, the existence of long-term contracts or the requirement to obtain government approvals and a lack of immediate cost-efficient alternatives to the services provided. Overall they tend to generate sustainable long-term cash flows.
 
Distributions
 
We believe we achieved prudent levels of cash reserves at both our holding company and operating companies. In addition, our results of operations and balance sheet have improved sufficiently, along with improved capital market conditions, to give us confidence in our ability to refinance our debt on or before maturity. The precise timing and amount of any distribution will be based on the continued stable performance of the Company’s businesses, the outcome of the budgeting process currently underway and the economic conditions prevailing at the time of any authorization. Management believes that any distribution would be characterized as a dividend for tax purposes rather than as a return of capital.
 
Continuing Operations
 
Our energy-related businesses were largely resistant to the recent economic downturn, primarily due to the contracted or utility-like nature of their revenues combined with the essential services they provide and the contractual or regulatory ability to pass through most cost increases to customers. We believe these businesses are generally able to generate consistent cash flows throughout the business cycle.
 
The results of Atlantic Aviation have been negatively affected since mid-2008 by the slower economy and declining general aviation activity levels through mid-2009. However, general aviation activity levels stabilized in the second half of 2009 and showed year on year growth in December 2009 and through the third quarter of 2010. This stabilization, combined with expense reduction efforts, results in an improving outlook for the business.
 
We will continue to apply excess cash flow generated by Atlantic Aviation to the reduction of that business’ term loan principal, consistent with the amendments to the debt facility that we agreed to in February 2009. Such repayments enhance our ability to successfully refinance this debt when it matures in 2014.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
On June 2, 2010, we concluded the sale in bankruptcy of an airport parking business (‘‘Parking Company of America Airports’’ or ‘‘PCAA’’), resulting in a pre-tax gain of $130.3 million, of which $76.5 million related to the forgiveness of debt, and the elimination of $201.0 million of current debt from liabilities from our consolidated condensed balance sheet. The results of operations from this business and the gain from the bankruptcy sale are separately reported as a discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. This business is no longer a reportable segment. As a part of the bankruptcy sale process, substantially all of the cash proceeds were used to pay the creditors of this business and were not paid to us. We received $602,000 from the PCAA bankruptcy estate for expenses paid on behalf of PCAA during its operations. See Note 5, ‘‘Discontinued Operations’’, in our consolidated condensed financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for financial information and further discussions.
 
MIC had continued to guarantee one lease of its formerly owned airport parking business. This guarantee has been terminated in consideration of $1.2 million to be paid by the Company over three years, of which $930,000 will be reimbursed by the new owners of the business.

MIC Inc. Revolving Credit Facility
 
Until March 31, 2010, the Company had a revolving credit facility provided by various financial institutions, including entities within the Macquarie Group. The facility was repaid in full in December 2009 and no amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2009 or at the facility’s maturity on March 31, 2010.
 
Income Taxes
 
We file a consolidated federal income tax return that includes the taxable income of all our businesses, except IMTT and District Energy, which file separate income tax returns. We will include in our taxable income the taxable portion of any distributions from those businesses, which qualify for the 80% dividends received deduction.
 
As a result of available federal net operating loss carryforwards, we do not expect to have consolidated regular federal taxable income or regular federal tax payments at least through the 2012 tax year. The cash state and local taxes paid by our individual businesses are discussed in the sections entitled ‘‘Income Taxes’’ for each of our individual businesses.
 
Results of Operations
 
Consolidated
 
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
 
strong performance in our energy-related businesses reflecting:
increase in revenue and gross profit from IMTT spill response activity in the Gulf Coast;
increases in average storage rates and storage capacity at IMTT;
increase in underlying margins and flat volumes at The Gas Company; and
increase in gross profit at District Energy driven by higher average temperatures and a net increase in contracted capacity from new customers.
contribution from Atlantic Aviation reflecting:
higher general aviation fuel volumes;
cost reductions; and
lower interest expense as a result of the early repayment of the outstanding term loan debt; partially offset by
a decrease in non-fuel revenue, primarily driven by lower tie-down and miscellaneous fixed base operation related services.

(1) Reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
 
(2) Interest expense includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $3.8 million and $35.5 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and non-cash losses of $17.9 million and $4.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
 
 
Gross Profit
 
Consolidated gross profit increased reflecting improved results for fuel-related services at Atlantic Aviation and at our energy-related businesses generally, offset by a decrease in non-fuel gross profit from Atlantic Aviation.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 decreased primarily as a result of cost reduction efforts at Atlantic Aviation, offset by increases in our corporate segment for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 and our consolidated energy-related businesses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
Fees to Manager
 
Base fees to our Manager increased due to higher market capitalization. Our Manager elected to reinvest its first quarter 2010 base management fees in additional LLC interests. LLC interests for the first quarter of 2010 were issued to our Manager during the second quarter of 2010. The base management fee for the second quarter of 2010 was paid in cash to our Manager during the third quarter of 2010.  The base management fee in the amount of $2.4 million for the third quarter 2010 will be paid in cash to our Manager during the fourth quarter of 2010.

Results of Operations: Consolidated - (continued)
 
Goodwill Impairment
 
During the first six months of 2009, we recognized goodwill impairment charges of $71.2 million at Atlantic Aviation. There were no impairment charges in 2010.
 
Depreciation
 
The decrease in depreciation reflects non-cash asset impairment charges of $7.5 million recorded during the first six months of 2009 at Atlantic Aviation.  There were no impairment charges in 2010.
 
Amortization of Intangibles
 
The decrease in amortization of intangibles expense reflects non-cash asset impairment charges of $23.3 million recorded by Atlantic Aviation during the first six months of 2009. The impairments reduced the amortizable balance and the amount of amortization expense in 2010.
 
Interest Expense and Loss on Derivative Instruments
 
Interest expense includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $3.8 million and $35.5 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $17.9 million and $4.8 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
 
The change in the non-cash losses on derivatives recorded both in interest expense and in loss on derivative instruments is attributable to the change in fair value of interest rate swaps, interest rate swap breaks related to the pay down of debt at Atlantic Aviation and includes the reclassification of amounts from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings, as Atlantic Aviation pays down its debt more quickly than anticipated.
 
Excluding the portion related to non-cash losses on derivatives, interest expense decreased due to a $128.0 million reduction of term loan debt at Atlantic Aviation and the repayment in the full amount of the outstanding balance of $66.4 million of MIC holding company debt during December 2009.
 
Equity in Earnings and Amortization Charges of Investees
 
Our equity in the earnings of IMTT increased reflecting our share of the improved operating results of the business and by our share of non-cash derivative gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, offset by our share of non-cash derivative losses for 2010 and the quarter ended September 30, 2009.
 
Income Taxes
 
For 2010, we expect to report a consolidated federal net operating loss, for which we will record a deferred tax benefit, and we expect to pay a nominal federal Alternative Minimum Tax.
 
As we own less than 80% of IMTT and District Energy, these businesses are not included in our consolidated federal tax return. These businesses file separate consolidated income tax returns, and we include the dividends received from IMTT and District Energy in our consolidated income tax return. Further, we expect that any dividends from IMTT and District Energy in 2010 will be treated as taxable dividends, which qualify for the 80% Dividends Received Deduction (DRD).

Results of Operations: Consolidated - (continued)
 
The following table reconciles our net loss from continuing operations before income taxes and noncontrolling interests to our taxable loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010

Accordingly, our tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 is as follows ($ in millions):
 
         
Federal tax benefit at 35% on the tax loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2010
  $ 8.7  
Reduction in valuation allowance (discussed below)
    2.6  
State income tax benefit
    1.2  
Total tax benefit
  $ 12.5  
 
In determining the effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we excluded the write-down to fair value of certain assets from ordinary income. Further, approximately $53.4 million of the write-down was attributable to goodwill and was a permanent book-tax difference, for which no tax benefit was recognized.
 
Valuation allowance:
 
As discussed in Note 18, ‘‘Income Taxes’’ in our consolidated financial statements, in Part II, Item 8 of our Form 10-K for 2009, from the date of sale of the noncontrolling interest in District Energy and onwards, we evaluate the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets without taking into consideration the deferred tax liabilities of District Energy. As of December 31, 2009, our valuation allowance was approximately $20.6 million.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we reduced the valuation allowance to approximately $8.0 million, resulting in a decrease of $12.6 million. Of this decrease, $2.6 million has been recorded as part of benefit for income taxes included in continuing operations on the consolidated condensed statements of operations. The remaining balance of the decrease of $10.0 million is included in net income from discontinued operations.
 
In calculating our consolidated state income tax provision, we have provided a valuation allowance for certain state income tax NOL carryforwards, the utilization of which is not assured beyond a reasonable doubt. In addition, we expect to incur certain expenses that will not be deductible in determining state taxable income. Accordingly, these expenses have also been excluded in determining our state income tax expense.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
On June 2, 2010, we concluded the sale in bankruptcy of PCAA, resulting in a pre-tax gain of $130.3 million, of which $76.5 million related to the forgiveness of debt. The results of operations from this business and the gain from the bankruptcy sale are separately reported as a discontinued operations in our consolidated condensed financial statements and prior comparable periods have been restated to conform to the current period presentation. See Note 5, ‘‘Discontinued Operations’’, in our consolidated condensed financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for financial information and further discussions.
 
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow
 
In accordance with GAAP, we have disclosed EBITDA excluding non-cash items for our Company and each of our operating segments in Note 12, ‘‘Reportable Segments’’ in our consolidated condensed financial statements, as a key performance metric relied on by management in evaluating our performance. EBITDA excluding non-cash items is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncash items, which includes impairments, derivative gains and losses and adjustments for other non-cash items reflected in the statements of operations. We believe EBITDA excluding non-cash items provides additional insight into the performance of our operating businesses relative to each other and similar businesses without regard to their capital structure, and their ability to service or reduce debt, fund capital expenditures and/or support distributions to the holding company.

Results of Operations: Consolidated - (continued)
 
We also disclose Free Cash Flow, as defined by us, as a means of assessing the amount of cash generated by our businesses and supplementing other information provided in accordance with GAAP. We define Free Cash Flow as cash from operating activities, less maintenance capital expenditures and changes in working capital. Working capital movements are excluded on the basis that these are largely timing differences in payables and receivables, and are therefore not reflective of our ability to generate cash.
 
We believe that reporting Free Cash Flow will provide our investors with additional insight into our future ability to deploy cash, as GAAP metrics such as net income and cash from operating activities do not reflect all of the items that our management considers in estimating the amount of cash generated by our operating entities. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have disclosed Free Cash Flow for our consolidated results and for each of our operating segments.
 
We note that Free Cash Flow does not fully reflect our ability to freely deploy generated cash, as it does not reflect required payments to be made on our indebtedness, pay dividends and other fixed obligations or the other cash items excluded when calculating Free Cash Flow. We also note that Free Cash Flow may be calculated in a different manner by other companies, which limits its usefulness as a comparative measure. Therefore, our Free Cash Flow should be used as a supplemental measure and not in lieu of our financial results reported under GAAP.
 
In the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we disclosed EBITDA excluding only non-cash gains (losses) on derivative instruments. The following tables, reflecting results of operations for the consolidated group and for our businesses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, have been conformed to current periods’ presentation reflecting EBITDA excluding all non-cash items and Free Cash Flow.

IMTT
 
We account for our 50% interest in this business under the equity method. We recognized income of $19.2 million in our consolidated results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This includes our 50% share of IMTT’s net income, equal to $22.7 million for the period, offset by $3.5 million of acquisition-related step up depreciation and amortization expense (net of taxes). For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized income of $16.7 million in our consolidated results. This included our 50% share of IMTT’s net income, equal to $20.2 million for the period, offset by $3.5 million of acquisition-related step-up depreciation and amortization expense (net of taxes).
 
IMTT declared and paid dividends of $15.0 million to each of its shareholders during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Distributions from IMTT, to the degree classified as taxable dividends and not a return of capital for income tax purposes, are expected to qualify for the federal dividends received deduction. Therefore, 80% of any dividend 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 IMTT’s performance across periods, IMTT’s overall performance is discussed below, rather than IMTT’s contribution to our consolidated results.
 
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
 
environmental response service revenue and gross profit increased principally due to spill response work and other activities related to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; and
terminal revenue and gross profit increased principally due to:
increases in average tank rental rates; and
increase in volume of storage under contract.

Revenue and Gross Profit
 
The increase in terminal revenue primarily reflects growth in storage revenue. Storage revenue grew due to an increase in average rental rates of 6.8% and 8.3% during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and an increase in storage capacity mainly attributable to certain expansion projects at IMTT’s Louisiana facilities.
 
Capacity utilization decreased from 93.7% during the quarter ended September 30, 2009 to 93.0% during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, and increased from 93.8% during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to 94.6% during the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Demand for bulk liquid storage generally remains strong; however, utilization rates are expected to remain at approximately 93.0% over the balance of 2010, as certain tanks have been taken out of service for inspection, repairs and maintenance. IMTT expects utilization rates to return to the somewhat higher historical levels in early 2011.

Energy-Related Business: IMTT - (continued)
 
Terminal operating costs increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily as a result of an increase in salaries and wages and higher repairs and maintenance.
 
Revenue and gross profit from environmental response services increased substantially during 2010 primarily due to the increase in spill response activities following the April 20, 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the January 2010 fuel oil spill on the Texas coast near Port Arthur. The business is not aware of any reliable estimate of how long clean-up efforts in the Gulf will continue and the business is unable to estimate the extent to which it will continue to provide environmental response services for this spill.  However, beginning in October 2010, BP began to scale back Oil Mop’s involvement in the Gulf clean-up and, consequently, Oil Mop’s contribution in the fourth quarter of 2010 will be materially less than it was in the second and third quarters of 2010. At this time, we anticipate that Oil Mop's contribution to revenue and gross profit will return to historical levels in early 2011.
 
General and Administrative Expenses
 
General and administrative expenses for the quarter and year to date periods increased primarily due to the increase in environmental response services activity compared with the prior comparable periods. The increase reflects a year to date $9.6 million increase from the environmental response service business,  primarily related to cash and accrued bonuses and sales commissions relating to the environmental response services.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased as IMTT completed several major expansion projects, resulting in higher asset balances.
 
Interest Expense, Net
 
Interest expense, net, includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $11.0 million and $33.1 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and non-cash losses of $8.1 million and non-cash gains of $17.1 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
 
Cash interest paid was $9.1 million and $25.0 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $7.9 million and $22.1 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
IMTT expects to pay approximately $15.0 million to $20.0 million in federal and state income taxes in 2010 depending upon the amount of capital expenditures ultimately placed in service and eligible for tax depreciation in 2010.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, IMTT recorded $4.8 million of current federal income tax expense and $6.0 million of current state income tax expense.  At December 31, 2009, IMTT had a federal net operating loss of $50.5 million, of which $5.8 million was carried back to and used in year 2008 and $44.7 million was carried forward to and will be fully used in 2010.
 
A significant difference between the IMTT’s book and federal taxable income relates to depreciation of terminalling fixed assets. For book purposes, these fixed assets are depreciated primarily over 15 to 30 years using the straight-line method of depreciation.  For federal income tax purposes, these fixed assets are depreciated primarily over 5 to 15 years using accelerated methods. Most terminalling fixed assets placed in service in 2010 qualify for the federal 50% bonus depreciation, except assets placed in service in Louisiana financed with GO Zone Bonds. A significant portion of Louisiana terminalling fixed assets constructed since Hurricane Katrina are or will be financed with GO Zone Bonds. GO Zone Bond financed assets are depreciated primarily over 9 to 20 years using the straight-line depreciation method. Most of the states in which the business operates allow the use of the federal depreciation calculation methods. Louisiana is the only state where the business operates that allows the 50% bonus depreciation deduction (on qualifying fixed assets not financed with GO Zone Bonds).

Accordingly, the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009 were restated to reflect this change.

Energy-Related Business: The Gas Company - (continued)
 
Contribution Margin and Operating Income
 
Regulation of the utility portion of The Gas Company’s operations provides for the automatic pass through of increases or decreases in feedstock costs to utility customers. Changes in the cost of propane distributed to non-utility customers can be recovered in pricing, subject to competitive conditions generally.
 
Utility contribution margin was lower for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 due to lower margin per therm. The lower margin per therm primarily resulted from the timing of fuel adjustment charge reconciliations and the implementation of the final rate case order, largely offset by a 4.4% increase in utility gas sold as a result of improved tourism and economic activity.
 
Utility contribution margin was higher for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to implementation of the rate increase from June 11, 2009, partially offset by slightly lower sales volume during the first half of 2010.    The Gas Company recently renegotiated its synthetic natural gas, or SNG, feedstock contract with Tesoro. The contract is subject to approval by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (HPUC). The changes in cost of feedstock are passed through to consumers via the fuel adjustment charge mechanism and have no impact on utility contribution margin.
 
Non-utility contribution margin was higher as a result of effective margin management activities and higher volume compared to 2009. Sales volume was approximately 5.0% and 1.6% higher for the quarter and nine month periods.  The Gas Company recently renegotiated its liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG, supply contracts which increased the amount of locally supplied propane. We expect an overall decrease in supply costs.
 
Increased production costs primarily reflected higher electricity costs. Transmission and distribution costs were higher primarily due to increased wage and benefit costs as well as higher repair and maintenance costs. Selling, general and administrative costs were higher primarily due to personnel costs and insurance costs.
 
Interest Expense, Net
 
Interest expense, net, includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $2.7 million and $8.9 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and non-cash losses of $3.2 million and $65,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Excluding the non-cash losses on derivative instruments, interest expense was relatively flat.
 
Cash interest paid was $2.1 million and $6.4 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $2.1 million and $6.4 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income from The Gas Company is included in our consolidated federal income tax return, and its income is subject to Hawaii state income taxes. The tax expense in the table above includes both state taxes and the portion of the consolidated federal tax liability attributable to the business. For the year ending December 31, 2010, the business expects to pay state income taxes of approximately $1.2 million, of which $770,000 was recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
District Energy
 
Customers of District Energy pay two charges to receive chilled water services: a fixed charge based on contracted capacity and a variable charge based on the consumption of chilled water. Capacity charges are typically adjusted annually at a fixed rate or are indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The terms of our customer contracts provide for the pass through of increases or decreases in electricity costs, the largest component of the business’ direct expenses.
 
The financial results discussed below reflect 100% of District Energy’s performance during the quarter.
 
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
 
an increase in consumption gross profit driven by warmer average temperatures during the second and third quarters of 2010 compared to the comparable period in 2009, resulting in higher ton-hour sales; and
a net increase in contracted capacity revenue from new customers that began service predominantly in the second quarter of 2009, and annual inflation-linked increases in contract capacity rates.

Energy-Related Business: District Energy - (continued)
 
Gross Profit
 
Gross profit increased primarily due to warmer average temperatures during the second and third quarters of 2010 compared to the comparable period in 2009 resulting in higher ton-hour sales. Additionally, cooling capacity revenue increased due to a net increase in contracted capacity provided to new customers that began service predominantly in the second quarter of 2009, and annual inflation-related increases of contract capacity rates in accordance with customer contract terms.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
Selling, general and administrative expenses in 2009 included a reimbursement from a customer for professional fees related to the Las Vegas plant expansion that did not reoccur in 2010.
 
Other Income
 
Other income increased due to the timing of payments earned under agreements to review and manage the business’ energy demand during periods of peak demand in 2010. These payments were recorded during the third quarter of 2010 and the fourth quarter of 2009.
 
Interest Expense, Net
 
Interest expense, net, includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $4.2 million and $13.0 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and non-cash losses of $4.1 million and non-cash gains of $739,000 for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Excluding the non-cash (losses) gains on derivative instruments, interest expense was higher in 2010 compared with 2009 due to the expiration of an interest rate basis swap agreement, and a higher debt balance during 2010 compared with 2009. Cash interest paid was $2.4 million and $7.3 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $2.4 million and $7.2 million for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
For the period preceding the sale of a 49.99% noncontrolling interest in the business, the income from District Energy was included in our consolidated federal income tax return, and District Energy filed a separate Illinois state income tax return.
 
Subsequent to the sale of the 49.99% noncontrolling interest, District Energy will file a separate federal income tax return, and will continue to file a separate Illinois state income tax return. The business has approximately $26.0 million in federal and state NOL carryforwards available to offset positive taxable income. The business expects to have federal and state taxable income in 2011 and 2012, which will be wholly offset by NOL carryforwards.
 
Atlantic Aviation
 
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
 
higher general aviation (“GA”) fuel volumes;
lower selling, general and administrative expenses due to ongoing expense reduction initiatives; and
lower interest expense driven by reduced debt levels; partially offset by
a decrease in other non-fuel revenue primarily driven by lower tie-down and miscellaneous fixed based operations related-services.

Revenue and Gross Profit
 
The majority of the revenue and gross profit in Atlantic Aviation is generated through fueling general aviation aircraft at 68 airports and one heliport in the U.S. Revenue is categorized according to who owns the fuel used to service these aircraft. If our business owns the fuel, it records the cost to purchase that fuel as cost of revenue-fuel. The business’ corresponding fuel revenue is its cost to purchase that fuel plus a margin. The business generally pursues a strategy of maintaining, and where appropriate increasing, dollar-based margins, thereby passing any increase in fuel prices to the customer.
 
Atlantic Aviation also has into-plane arrangements whereby it fuels aircraft with fuel owned by another party. It collects a fee for this service that is recorded as non-fuel revenue. Other non-fuel revenue also includes various services such as hangar rentals, de-icing and miscellaneous services.

Atlantic Aviation - (continued)
 
The business’ fuel-related revenue and gross profit are driven by fuel volume and dollar-based margin per gallon. This applies to both fuel and into-plane revenue. Customers will sometimes move from one category to the other.
 
The business believes discussing total fuel-related revenue and gross profit, including both fuel sales and into-plane arrangements (as recorded in the non-fuel revenue line) and related key metrics on an aggregate basis provides a more meaningful analysis of Atlantic Aviation.
 
Gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 increased 1.3% compared to the comparable period in 2009 as a result of an increase in aggregate fuel-related gross profit, which was offset by lower gross profit from other services. The increase in aggregate fuel-related gross profit resulted from a 4.0% increase in GA fuel volume, driven by increased business jet traffic. Weighted average fuel margin was essentially flat compared to the previous year, as margin compression in the first half of 2010 was offset by a 4.2% margin recovery in the third quarter.
 
Gross profit from other services decreased by 2.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 compared to the comparable period in 2009 and 3.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared to the comparable period in 2009, primarily driven by lower tie-down fees and miscellaneous revenue.
 
The year-on-year change in gross profit includes a number of events which will not reoccur in any given year, such as the G-20 meeting in Pittsburgh in 2009 and the temporary closure of the runway at Rifle airport in 2010. Excluding such events, GA fuel gross profit for the quarter would have increased by 6.7% year-on-year. GA fuel volume would have increased 5.2% and weighted average fuel related margin would have increased 1.5%.  Gross profit from other services would have remained flat.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
 
The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses is primarily due to a 2.2% reduction in underlying costs as a result of the ongoing cost reduction initiatives.
 
Atlantic Aviation expects selling, general and administrative expense to be less than $175.0 million for 2010.
 
Goodwill Impairment
 
The business performed an impairment test at the reporting unit level during the first half of 2009. Goodwill is considered impaired when the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, as determined under a two step approach. Based on the testing performed, the business recognized goodwill impairment charges of $71.2 million during the first six months of 2009. No impairment charge was recorded during 2010.
 
Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense includes non-cash impairment charges of $30.8 million during the first six months of 2009.
 
Interest Expense, Net
 
Interest expense, net, includes interest incurred on the business’ debt, amortization of deferred financing costs and non-cash gains (losses) on derivatives instruments. These items are summarized in the table below.

The decrease in interest paid on debt facility primarily reflects an aggregate $128.0 million of prepayments of the term loan principal since February 2009.
 
Income Taxes
 
Income generated by Atlantic Aviation is included in our consolidated federal income tax return. The business files state income tax returns in more than 30 states in which it operates. The tax expense in the table above includes both state taxes and the portion of the consolidated federal tax liability attributable to the business.
 
While Atlantic Aviation as a whole expects to generate a current year federal income tax loss, certain entities within the business will generate state taxable income. For the year ending December 31, 2010, the business expects to pay state income taxes of $397,000, of which $298,000 was recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.
 
The business has approximately $45.0 million of state NOL carryforwards. State NOL carryforwards are specific to the state in which the NOL was generated and various states impose limitations on the utilization of NOL carryforwards. Therefore, the business may incur state income tax liabilities in the near future, even if consolidated state taxable income is less than $45.0 million.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Consolidated
 
Our primary cash requirements include normal operating expenses, debt service, debt principal payments and maintenance capital expenditures. Our primary source of cash is operating activities, although we borrow against existing credit facilities for growth capital expenditures, issue additional LLC interests or sell assets to generate cash.
 
We believe we achieved prudent levels of cash reserves at both our holding company and operating companies. In addition, our results of operations and balance sheet have improved sufficiently, along with improved capital market conditions, to give us confidence in our ability to refinance our debt on or before maturity. The precise timing and amount of any distribution will be based on the continued stable performance of the Company’s businesses, the outcome of the budgeting process currently underway and the economic conditions prevailing at the time of any authorization. Management believes that any distribution would be characterized as a dividend for tax purposes rather than as a return of capital.
 
We believe that our operating businesses will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet future requirements, including servicing long-term debt obligations and making payments of distributions. We base our assessment of the sufficiency of our liquidity and capital resources 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;
all significant short-term growth capital expenditures will be funded with cash on hand or from committed undrawn credit facilities; and
we will be able to refinance, extend and/or repay the principal amount of maturing long-term debt on terms that can be supported by our businesses.
 
 
17

 

We have capitalized our businesses, in part, using project finance style debt. Project finance style debt is limited-recourse, floating rate, non-amortizing debt with a medium term maturity of between five and seven years, although the principal balance on the term loan debt at Atlantic Aviation is being prepaid using the excess cash generated by the business. At September 30, 2010, the average remaining maturity of the drawn balances of the primary debt facilities across all of our businesses, including our proportional interest in the revolving credit facility of IMTT, was approximately 3.8 years. In light of the improvement in the functioning of the credit markets generally, and the leverage and interest coverage ratios, we expect each of these businesses to successfully refinance their long-term debt on economically reasonable terms on or before maturity.
 
Until March 31, 2010, the Company had a revolving credit facility provided by various financial institutions, including entities within the Macquarie Group. The facility was repaid in full in December 2009 and no amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2009 or at the facility’s maturity on March 31, 2010.
 
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 allocations, capital contributions to our businesses and distributions from our businesses have been excluded from the tables as these transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Cash used in financing activities
    (56,023 )     (53,911 )     (2,112 )     (3.9 )
 
Operating Activities
 
Consolidated cash provided by operating activities comprises primarily the cash from operations of the businesses we own, as described in each of the business discussions below. The cash flow from our consolidated business’ operations is partially offset by expenses paid at the corporate level, including base management fees paid in cash, professional fees and interest incurred in the prior periods on any amounts drawn on our revolving credit facility.
 
The increase in consolidated cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to:
improved operating performance at Atlantic Aviation due to stable gross profit and cost savings;
a larger dividend received from IMTT;
improved operating results at the energy-related businesses; and
lower interest paid on the reduced term loan balance for Atlantic Aviation and no interest paid on holding company debt.
 
Distributions from IMTT are reflected in our consolidated cash provided by operating activities only up to our 50% share of IMTT’s positive earnings. Amounts in excess of this, and any distributions when IMTT records a net loss, are reflected in our consolidated cash from investing activities. For 2010, $15.0 million in distributions were included in cash from operating activities compared with $7.0 million in 2009.
 
Investing Activities
 
The decrease in consolidated cash used in investing activities was primarily due to:
lower capital expenditures at Atlantic Aviation and District Energy due to timing of projects;
cash received from the PCAA bankruptcy estate for expenses paid on behalf of PCAA during its operations; partially offset by
increase in capital expenditures at the Gas Company.
 
 
18

 
 
Financing Activities
 
The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to higher net debt repayments in 2010 as compared to 2009.
 
Our businesses are capitalized with a mix of equity and project-financing style debt. We believe we can prudently maintain relatively high levels of leverage due to the generally sustainable and stable long-term cash flows our businesses have provided in the past and which we expect to continue in the future as discussed above. Our project finance debt is non-amortizing and we expect to be able to refinance the outstanding balances of the term loan on or before maturity, except at Atlantic Aviation, where all excess cash flow from the business is being used to prepay the outstanding principal balance of the term loan. Similarly, excess cash flow generated at District Energy will be applied toward the principal balance of the term loan during the last two years before maturity. The majority of our businesses also maintain revolving capital expenditure and/or working capital facilities.
 
See below for further description of the cash flows related to our businesses.
 
Energy-Related Businesses
 
IMTT
 
The following analysis represents 100% of the cash flows of IMTT, rather than just the composition of cash flows that are included in our consolidated cash flows. We believe this is the most appropriate and meaningful approach to discussing the historical cash flow trends of IMTT. We account for our 50% ownership of this business using the equity method. Distributions from IMTT when IMTT records a net loss, or pays distributions in excess of our share of its earnings, are reflected in investing activities in our consolidated cash flow.

Operating 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. Cash used in operating activities is mainly for payroll and benefits costs, maintenance and repair of fixed assets, utilities and professional services, interest payments and payments to tax jurisdictions. Cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to improved operating results, partially offset by an increase in working capital requirements in 2010 as compared to a decrease in 2009. Working capital declined in 2009 as we received payments from previously completed oil spill jobs. Conversely in 2010, working capital has increased significantly due to the work being performed in connection with the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Customers are paying as agreed under usual and customary terms.
 
Investing Activities
 
Cash used in investing activities primarily relates to capital expenditures discussed below, as well as the payment of accrued purchases recorded in prior periods. Capital expenditures decreased from $92.6 million in 2009 to $55.8 million in 2010 primarily reflecting a reduction in growth capital expenditures.

Energy-Related Business: IMTT - (continued)
 
Maintenance Capital Expenditure
 
IMTT incurs maintenance capital expenditures to prolong the useful lives and increase the service capacity of existing revenue-producing assets. Maintenance capital expenditures include the refurbishment of storage tanks, piping, dock facilities, and environmental capital expenditures, principally in relation to improvements in containment measures and remediation.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, IMTT incurred $29.2 million and $26.9 million, respectively, on maintenance capital expenditures, including (i) $23.6 million and $24.1 million, respectively, principally in relation to refurbishments of tanks, docks and other infrastructure and (ii) $5.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, on environmental capital expenditures, principally in relation to improvements in containment measures and remediation.
 
For the full-year 2010, IMTT expects to spend approximately $45.0 million on maintenance capital expenditures. IMTT anticipates that maintenance capital expenditures will remain at elevated levels through 2014.
 
Growth Capital Expenditure
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, IMTT funded $26.6 million of the $54.8 million of previously announced pending growth capital projects and brought on line an additional 700,000 barrels of storage. This compares with growth capital expenditures of $65.7 million in the first nine months of 2009.
 
During the third quarter 2010, IMTT signed contracts to refurbish 1.2 million barrels of storage at a capital cost of $26.7 million that are expected to increase gross profit and EBITDA by $4.3 million on an annualized basis.
 
As of September 30, 2010, IMTT has ongoing growth projects for the construction or refurbishment of 1.9 million barrels of storage. The projects under construction or refurbishment are expected to have a total cost of $50.7 million and are expected to contribute approximately $10.4 million to IMTT’s gross profit and EBITDA on an annualized basis. Of the $50.7 million, $43.7 million remained to be spent as of September 30, 2010.
 
In addition, IMTT is engaged in the construction or upgrade of storage related infrastructure. These projects are expected to cost $32.4 million, with $24.9 million remaining to be spent as of September 30, 2010.
 
IMTT continues to review numerous additional growth opportunities with an aggregate value between $200.0 million and $250.0 million and has been progressing on these opportunities.
 
Financing Activities
 
Cash flows from financing activities decreased primarily due to net debt repayments in 2010 as compared with net borrowings in 2009 and increase distributions to shareholders. In the first nine months of 2010, IMTT made $15.0 million of distributions to each of its shareholders, compared with $7.0 million in the first nine months of 2009.
 
At September 30, 2010, the outstanding balance on IMTT’s debt facilities, excluding capitalized leases, consisted of $231.6 million in revolving credit facilities, $336.3 million in tax exempt bonds and $31.9 million in shareholder loans. The weighted average interest rate of the outstanding debt facilities, including any interest rate swaps and fees associated with outstanding letters of credit is 5.95%. Cash interest paid was $25.0 million and $22.1 million for 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
On June 18, 2010, IMTT amended its revolving credit facility. The amendment increased the size of the facility from $625.0 million to $1,100.0 million and extended the maturity on $970.0 million two years from June 7, 2012 to June 7, 2014 with the remaining $130.0 million maturing on June 7, 2012. The facility was used to fully repay the $30.0 million Regions Term Loan as well as the $65.0 million DNB Term Loan.
 
In addition, the amendment now allows IMTT to agree, in other debt agreements, that if IMTT is ever required to collateralize the revolving credit facility, it will collateralize the other debt on a pari-passu basis. The increased commitment will be used to fund IMTT’s expansion and is expected to be more than adequate to fully fund existing and reasonably foreseeable growth capital expenditure plans.
 
On August 25, 2010, IMTT closed on $85.0 million of additional GO Zone Bonds. Proceeds from this issuance were used to partially repay the revolving credit facility. IMTT was awarded an additional $100.0 million and $27.4 million of GO Zone Bonds on August 19, 2010 and October 21, 2010, respectively. These will be issued in the fourth quarter of 2010 and proceeds will be used to partially repay the revolving credit facility and/or fund future projects. IMTT will continue to pursue additional opportunities to issue GO Zone Bonds.
 
The key terms of the $85.0 million of additional GO Zone Bonds issued are summarized in the table below.

In addition, IMTT is pursuing an opportunity to sell GO Zone Bonds to banking institutions.  Once sold, these GO Zone Bonds will no longer need to be backed by a letter of credit and will incur a lower interest rate, equal to 68% of 30 day LIBOR plus 65% of the applicable margin (per the revolving credit agreement).  To date, IMTT has received $140.0 million of commitments to purchase GO Zone Bonds from its existing banking syndicate and it continues to pursue additional commitments.

Operating Activities
 
The main driver for cash provided by operating activities is customer receipts. These are offset in part by the timing of payments for fuel, materials, pipeline repairs, vendor services and supplies, payroll and benefit costs, revenue-based taxes and payment of administrative costs. Customers are generally billed monthly and make payments on account. Vendors and suppliers generally bill the business when services are rendered or when products are shipped.
 
The increase from 2009 to 2010 was primarily due to improved operating results and lower cash funding of the business' pension plan in 2010 as compared to 2009.
 
Investing Activities
 
Cash used in investing activities is primarily comprised of 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 by drawing on credit facilities as well as cash from operating activities.
 
Maintenance Capital Expenditure
 
Maintenance capital expenditures include replacement of pipeline sections, improvements to the business’ transmission system and SNG plant, improvements to buildings and other property and the purchase of equipment.
 
Growth Capital Expenditure
 
Growth capital expenditures include the purchase of meters, regulators and propane tanks for new customers, the cost of installing pipelines for new residential and commercial construction and the renewable feedstock pilot program. The following table sets forth information about capital expenditures in The Gas Company:

The business expects to fund its total 2010 capital expenditures from cash from operating activities and available debt facilities. Capital expenditures for 2010 are expected to be higher than previous years due to required pipeline maintenance and inspection involving the relocation and upgrade of two sections of the transmission pipeline near the SNG plant as part of an integrity management program due by 2012 and a pilot project at the SNG plant to create gas from renewable feedstock sources. The full year growth capital expenditure projection has been revised downward primarily due to a deferral of equipment for the renewable feedstock project. Commitments at September 30, 2010 primarily relate to the renewable feedstock project.

Energy-Related Business: The Gas Company - (continued)
 
Financing Activities
 
The main drivers for cash from financing activities are debt financings for capital expenditures and the repayment of outstanding credit facilities. At September 30, 2010, the outstanding balance on the business’ debt facilities consisted of $160.0 million in term loan facility borrowings and $9.0 million in capital expenditure facility borrowings. In July 2010, the business repaid $10.0 million of its capital expenditure facility borrowings.
 
The Gas Company has interest rate swaps hedging 100% of the interest rate exposure under the two $80.0 million term loan facilities that effectively fix the interest rate at 4.8375% (excluding the margin). In March 2009, The Gas Company entered into an interest rate basis swap agreement with its existing debt and swap counterparties. The basis swap, which reduced the weighted average annual interest rate on the business’ primary debt facilities by approximately 24.75 basis points, expired in March 2010. The resulting weighted average interest rate of the outstanding debt facilities including any interest rate swaps at September 30, 2010 was 5.09%. The business paid approximately $6.4 million in interest expense related to its debt facilities in 2010 and 2009.
 
The Gas Company also has an uncommitted unsecured short-term borrowing facility of $7.5 million that was renewed during the second quarter of 2010. This credit line bears interest at the lending bank’s quoted rate or prime rate. The facility is available for working capital needs. No amounts were outstanding as of September 30, 2010.
 
The financial covenants triggering distribution lock-up or default under the business’ credit facility are as follows:
12 mo. look-forward and 12 mo. look-backward adjusted EBITDA/interest <3.5x (distribution lock-up) and <2.5x (default). The ratio at September 30, 2010 was 6.9x.
 
Additionally, the HPUC requires the consolidated debt to total capital for HGC Holdings not to exceed 65.0% and $20.0 million to be readily available in cash resources at The Gas Company, HGC Holdings or MIC. At September 30, 2010, the debt to total capital ratio was 60.5% and $20.0 million in cash resources was readily available.
 
For a description of the material terms of The Gas Company’s 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, 2009. We have not had any material changes to these credit facilities since February 25, 2010, our 10-K filing date.

Operating Activities
 
Cash provided by operating activities is primarily driven by customer receipts for services provided and leased equipment payments received (including non-revenue lease principal).  Cash used in operating activities is driven by the timing of payments for electricity, vendor services or supplies and the payment of payroll and benefit costs. The increase in cash provided by operating activities was due to improved operating results and timing of leased equipment payments received offset by a requirement that the business prepay a portion of its 2010 electricity supply contract one month in advance.  District Energy accepted these prepayment terms to minimize the overall per unit cost of electricity.  These cost savings are passed on to the business’ customers.  The business did not need to prepay its electricity cost under its 2009 supply contract nor will it need to prepay under the terms of its 2011 supply contract.
 
Investing Activities
 
Cash used in investing activities mainly comprises capital expenditures, which are generally funded by drawing on available facilities. Cash used in investing activities in 2009 and 2010 primarily funded growth capital expenditures for new customer connections and plant expansion.

Energy-Related Business: District Energy - (continued)
 
Maintenance Capital Expenditure
 
The business expects to spend approximately $1.0 million per year on capital expenditures relating to the replacement of parts, system reliability, customer service improvements and minor system modifications. Maintenance capital expenditures will be funded from available facilities and cash from operating activities.  These expenditures were higher in the first nine months of 2010 due to the timing of spend on ordinary course maintenance projects.

The following table summarizes growth capital expenditures committed by District Energy, as well as the gross profit and EBITDA expected to be generated by those expenditures. Of the $25.0 million total, approximately $24.3 million, or 97%, has been spent as of September 30, 2010.

New customers will typically reimburse the business for a substantial portion of expenditures related to connecting them to the business’ system, thereby reducing the impact of this element of capital expenditure. In addition, 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 gross profit and EBITDA. As of October 21, 2010, the business has signed contracts representing approximately 80% of expected additional gross profit and EBITDA relating to the Chicago projects in the table above.  Customers representing approximately 55% of the $6.2 million of expected additional gross profit and EBITDA are currently in service.
 
The business expects to fund the capital expenditures for system expansion and interconnection by drawing on debt facilities. The following table sets forth information about District Energy’s capital expenditures:

In 2009, District Energy incurred capital expenditures related to the Chicago plant renovation and expansion in addition to connecting new customers to its district cooling system.  This resulted in higher growth capital expenditures in 2009 as compared to 2010.  The full year growth capital expenditures projection has been revised downward due to a delay in a customer connection to 2011.
 
In early 2009, District Energy’s Las Vegas operation began providing service to a new customer building. This new customer began receiving full service in February 2010 and is expected to contribute approximately $300,000 per year to gross profit and EBITDA. This service required a $3.0 million system expansion of the Las Vegas facility, of which $300,000 was funded through a capital contribution from the noncontrolling shareholder of District Energy’s Las Vegas operation (see “Financing Activities” below).

Energy-Related Business: District Energy - (continued)
 
Financing Activities
 
At September 30, 2010, the outstanding balance on the business’ debt facilities consisted of $170.0 million in term loan facilities.
 
In March 2009, District Energy entered into an interest rate basis swap agreement with its existing debt and swap counterparties. The basis swap, which reduced the weighted average annual interest rate on the business’ primary debt facility by approximately 24.75 basis points, expired in March 2010. The resulting weighted average interest rate of the outstanding debt facilities, including any interest rate swaps and fees associated with outstanding letters of credit at September 30, 2010, was 5.52%.  Cash interest paid was $7.3 million and $7.2 million for 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to decreased borrowings under the business’ credit facility to finance growth and maintenance capital expenditure, partially offset by a $300,000 capital contribution from the noncontrolling interest shareholder of District Energy’s Las Vegas operations (as discussed above in “Investing Activities”).
 
The financial covenants triggering distribution lock-up or default under the business’ credit facility are as follows:
  Backward Interest Coverage Ratio < 1.5x (distribution lock-up) and < 1.2x (default). The ratio at September 30, 2010 was 2.4x.
  Leverage Ratio (funds from operations less interest expense to net debt) for the previous 12 months less than 6.0% (distribution lock-up) and 4.0% (default). The ratio at September 30, 2010 was 8.6%.
 
For a description of the material terms of District Energy’s 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, 2009. We have not had any material changes to these credit facilities since February 25, 2010, our 10-K filing date.

(1) During the first quarter of 2009, we provided Atlantic Aviation with a capital contribution of $50.0 million to pay down $44.6 million of debt. The remainder of the capital contribution was used to pay interest rate swap breakage fees and expenses. This contribution has been excluded from the above table as it is eliminated on consolidation.
 

Operating Activities
 
Operating cash at Atlantic Aviation is generated from sales transactions primarily paid by credit cards. Some customers have extended payment terms and are billed accordingly. Cash is used in operating activities mainly for payments to vendors of fuel, aircraft services and professional services, as well as payroll costs and payments to tax jurisdictions. Cash provided by operating activities decreased mainly due to:
a smaller reduction in working capital, partially offset by;
improved operating results due to increasing gross profit and lower selling, general and administrative costs; and
reduced interest expense from lower debt levels.
 
Working capital decreased in 2009 primarily due to a substantial reduction in accounts receivable balance, which has been maintained in 2010.
 
 
24

 
Atlantic Aviation - (continued)
 
Investing Activities
 
Cash used in investing activities relates primarily to capital expenditures. The decrease in cash used in investing activity is primarily due to lower growth capital expenditures by the business.
 
Maintenance expenditures are generally funded by cash from operating activities and growth capital expenditures are generally funded with draw downs on capital expenditure facilities.
 
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 generally funded from cash flow from operating activities.
 
Growth Capital Expenditure
 
Growth capital expenditures are incurred primarily in connection with lease extensions and only where the business expects to receive an appropriate return relative to its cost of capital. Historically these expenditures have included development of hangars, terminal buildings and ramp upgrades. The business has generally funded these projects through its growth capital expenditure facility or capital contributions from MIC.

The decrease in growth capital expenditures from 2009 primarily relates to the completion of a terminal and ramp project in Nashville, Tennessee.
 
Financing Activities
 
At September 30, 2010, the outstanding balance on the business’ debt facilities consisted of $772.0 million in term loan facility borrowings, which is 100% hedged with interest rate swaps, and $44.9 million in capital expenditure facility borrowings. In March 2009, Atlantic Aviation entered into an interest rate basis swap agreement with its existing debt and swap counterparties. The basis swap, which reduced the weighted average annual interest rate on the business’ primary debt facility by approximately 19.50 basis points, expired in March 2010. The resulting weighted average interest rate on the term loan was 6.82%. The interest rate applicable on the capital expenditure facility is the three-month U.S. Libor plus a margin of 1.60%. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the business paid approximately $41.2 million and $43.4 million in interest expense, respectively, excluding interest rate swap breakage fees, related to its debt facilities.
 
The decrease in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to a larger debt prepayment in the first half of 2009. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, the business pre-paid $46.3 million and $72.6 million, respectively, of debt principal and $4.7 million and $7.9 million, respectively, of interest rate swap breakage fees.
 
In November 2010, the business prepaid $8.7 million of term loan principal and incurred $839,000 in swap breakage fees. As a result of this prepayment, the proforma leverage ratio would decrease to 7.04x based upon the trailing twelve months September 30, 2010 EBITDA, as calculated under the facility.
 
The financial covenant requirements under Atlantic Aviation’s credit facility, and the calculation of these measures at September 30, 2010, were as follows:
Debt Service Coverage Ratio > 1.2x (default threshold). The ratio at September 30, 2010 was 1.98x.
Leverage Ratio debt to EBITDA for the trailing twelve months < 8.00x (default threshold). The ratio at September 30, 2010 was 7.12x.
 
 
25

 
Atlantic Aviation - (continued)
 
In cooperation with the business’ lenders, the terms of Atlantic Aviation’s loan agreement were amended on February 25, 2009. The amendments provide that the business apply all excess cash flow to prepay additional debt principal whenever the leverage ratio (debt to adjusted EBITDA) is equal to or greater than 6.0x to 1.0 for the trailing twelve months and will use 50% of excess cash flow to prepay debt whenever the leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 5.5x to 1.0 and below 6.0x to 1.0. The revised terms are outlined in ‘‘Liquidity and Capital Resources’’, Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, filed on February 25, 2010. We have not had any material changes to this credit facility since February 25, 2010, our 10-K filing date.
 
Commitments and Contingencies
 
At September 30, 2010 there were no material changes in our future commitments and contingencies from December 31, 2009, except for the mandatory prepayment we expect to make under the cash sweep terms of Atlantic Aviation’s credit facility from long-term debt to current portion of long-term debt in our consolidated condensed balance sheet.
 
Under the amended terms of Atlantic Aviation’s credit facility, the business will apply all excess cash flow from the business to prepay the debt principal for the foreseeable future. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, Atlantic Aviation used $16.1 million and $51.0 million, respectively, of excess cash flow to prepay $14.6 million and $46.3 million, respectively, of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan debt under the facility and $1.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, in interest rate swap breakage fees. Actual prepayment amounts in the periods beginning September 30, 2011 through the maturity of the facility will depend on the performance of the business.
 
In November 2010, Atlantic Aviation used $9.5 million of excess cash flow to prepay $8.7 million of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan debt and incurred $839,000 in interest rate swap breakage fees.
 
See Note 8, ‘‘Long-Term Debt’’, to our consolidated condensed financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for further discussion.
 
At September 30, 2010, we did not have any outstanding material purchase obligations. For a discussion of our other future obligations, due by period, under the various contractual obligations, off-balance sheet arrangements and commitments, please see ‘‘Liquidity and Capital Resources — Commitments and Contingencies’’ in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2010. We have not had any material changes to our commitments except as discussed above.
 
In addition, at September 30, 2010, we did not have any material reserves for contingencies. We have other contingencies, including pending threatened legal and administrative proceedings that are not reflected at this time as they are not ascertainable.
 
Our sources of cash to meet these obligations are as follows:
cash generated from our operations (see ‘‘Operating Activities’’ in ‘‘Liquidity and Capital Resources’’);
refinancing our current credit facilities on or before maturity (see ‘‘Financing Activities’’ in ‘‘Liquidity and Capital Resources’’); and
cash available from our undrawn credit facilities (see ‘‘Financing Activities’’ in ‘‘Liquidity and Capital Resources’’).
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
For critical accounting estimates, see ‘‘Critical Accounting Estimates’’ in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009. Our critical accounting estimates have not changed materially from the description contained in that Annual Report.
 
Goodwill, Intangible Assets and Property, Plant and Equipment
 
Significant assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of The Gas Company, District Energy and Atlantic Aviation include contract rights, customer relationships, non-compete agreements, trademarks, domain names, property and equipment and goodwill.
 
Trademarks and domain names are generally considered to be indefinite life intangibles. Trademarks, domain names and goodwill are not amortized in most circumstances. It may be appropriate to amortize some trademarks and domain names. However, for unamortized intangible assets, we are required to perform annual impairment reviews and more frequently in certain circumstances.
 
 
26

 
 
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 each reporting unit based on a discounted cash flow model using revenue and profit forecasts and comparing those estimated fair values with the carrying values, which included the allocated 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. The determination of a reporting unit’s ‘‘implied fair value’’ of goodwill requires the allocation of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value represents the ‘‘implied fair value’’ of goodwill, which is compared to its corresponding carrying value. The Gas Company, District Energy and Atlantic Aviation are separate reporting units for purposes of this analysis. The impairment test for trademarks and domain names, which are not amortized, requires the determination of the fair value of such assets. If the fair value of the trademarks and domain names is less than their carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference. We cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill and/or intangible 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 material negative change in relationship with significant customers.
 
Property and equipment is initially stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment after consideration of historical results and anticipated results based on our current plans. Our estimated useful lives represent the period the asset remains in service assuming normal routine maintenance. We review the estimated useful lives assigned to property and equipment when our business experience suggests that they do not properly reflect the consumption of economic benefits embodied in the property and equipment nor result in the appropriate matching of cost against revenue. Factors that lead to such a conclusion may include physical observation of asset usage, examination of realized gains and losses on asset disposals and consideration of market trends such as technological obsolescence or change in market demand.
 
Significant intangibles, including contract rights, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and technology are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible asset after consideration of historical results and anticipated results based on our current plans. With respect to contract rights in our Atlantic Aviation business, we take into consideration the history of contract right renewals in determining our assessment of useful life and the corresponding amortization period.
 
We perform impairment reviews of property and equipment and intangibles subject to amortization, when events or circumstances indicate that assets are less than their carrying amount and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets. In this circumstance, the impairment charge is determined based upon the amount by which the net book value of the assets exceeds their fair market value. Any impairment is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying value.
 
The ‘‘implied fair value’’ of reporting units and fair value of property and equipment and intangible assets is determined by our management and is generally based upon future cash flow projections for the acquired assets, discounted to present value. We use outside valuation experts when management considers that it is appropriate to do so.
 
We test for goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets when there is an indicator of impairment. Impairments of goodwill, property, equipment, land and leasehold improvements and intangible assets during the first six months of 2009 relating to Atlantic Aviation is discussed in ‘‘Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations’’ in Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

2. Basis of Presentation
 
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 condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions 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 nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010.
 
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2009 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 period 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, 2009 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 25, 2010.

3. New Accounting Pronouncements 
 
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASC 825-10-65 Financial Instruments, which is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. This guidance requires disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods in addition to the current requirement to make disclosure in annual financial statements. This guidance also requires disclosure of the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments and description of changes in the methods and significant assumptions. The Company adopted this guidance during the second quarter of 2009. Since this guidance requires only additional disclosures, the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial results of operations and financial condition.
 
The Company’s financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and variable rate senior debt, are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value because of either the short-term maturity, or variable or competitive interest rates assigned to these financial instruments.
 
4. Income (Loss) Per Share 
 
Following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted number of shares used in computing income (loss) per share:
 
   
Quarter Ended September 30,
   
Nine Months Ended September 30,
 
   
2010
   
2009
   
2010
   
2009
 
Weighted average number of shares outstanding: basic
    45,715,448       45,006,771       45,493,982       44,969,093  
Dilutive effect of restricted stock unit grants
    31,989       -       98,595       -  
Weighted average number of shares outstanding: diluted
    45,747,437       45,006,771       45,592,577       44,969,093  

The effect of potentially dilutive shares for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010 is calculated assuming that the 31,989 restricted stock unit grants provided to the independent directors on June 3, 2010 and the 128,205 restricted stock unit grants provided to the independent directors on June 4, 2009 had been fully converted to shares on those dates. However, the restricted stock unit grants were anti-dilutive for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, due to the Company’s net loss for those periods.
 
5.     Discontinued Operations
 
On June 2, 2010, the Company concluded the sale in bankruptcy of an airport parking business (‘‘Parking Company of America Airports’’ or ‘‘PCAA’’) resulting in a pre-tax gain of $130.3 million, of which $76.5 million related to the forgiveness of debt, and the elimination of $201.0 million of current debt from liabilities from the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheet. As a part of the bankruptcy sale process, substantially all of the cash proceeds were used to pay the creditors of this business and were not paid to the Company. The Company received $602,000 from the PCAA bankruptcy estate for expenses paid on behalf of PCAA during its operations.
 
As a result of the approval of the sale of PCAA’s assets in bankruptcy and the expected dissolution of PCAA during 2010, the Company has reduced its valuation allowance on the realization of a portion of the deferred tax assets attributable to its basis in PCAA and its consolidated federal net operating losses. The change in the valuation allowance recorded in discontinued operations was $10.0 million.
 
The results of operations from this business, for all periods presented, and the gain from the bankruptcy sale are separately reported as a discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated condensed financial statements. This business is no longer a reportable segment. The assets and liabilities of the business are included in assets of discontinued operations held for sale and liabilities of discontinued operations held for sale on the Company’s consolidated condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2009.

As a result of a decline in the performance of certain asset groups during the first six months of 2009, the Company evaluated such asset groups for impairment and determined that the asset groups were impaired. The Company estimated the fair value of each of the impaired asset groups using the discounted cash flow model. Accordingly, the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $23.3 million related to contractual arrangements at Atlantic Aviation during the first six months of 2009. These charges are recorded in amortization of intangibles in the consolidated condensed statement of operations. There was no impairment charge during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

7.    Intangible Assets - (continued)
 
The goodwill balance as of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 is comprised of the following ($ in thousands):
 
Goodwill acquired in business combinations, net of disposals
  $ 639,382  
Less: accumulated impairment charges
    (123,200 )
Balance at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009
  $ 516,182  

The Company tests for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis and between annual tests if a triggering event indicates impairment. The decline in the Company’s stock price over the latter part of 2008 and the first half of 2009 caused the book value of the Company to exceed its market capitalization. In addition to its annual goodwill impairment testing conducted routinely on October 1st of each year, the Company performed goodwill impairment testing during the first six months of 2009 due to the triggering event of the Company’s stock price decline. Based on the testing performed, the Company recorded goodwill impairment charges of $71.2 million at Atlantic Aviation during the first six months of 2009, which is included in the accumulated impairment charges in the above table. There was no goodwill impairment charge during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Until March 31, 2010, MIC Inc. had a revolving credit facility with various financial institutions. The facility was repaid in full in December 2009 and no amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility as of December 31, 2009 or at the facility’s maturity on March 31, 2010.
 
On February 25, 2009, Atlantic Aviation amended its credit facility to provide the business additional financial flexibility over the near and medium term. Under the amended terms, the business will apply all excess cash flow from the business to prepay additional debt whenever the leverage ratio (debt to adjusted EBITDA) is equal to or greater than 6.0x to 1.0 for the trailing twelve months and will use 50% of excess cash flow to prepay debt whenever the leverage ratio is equal to or greater than 5.5x to 1.0 and below 6.0x to 1.0. For the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010, Atlantic Aviation used $16.1 million and $51.0 million, respectively, of excess cash flow to prepay $14.6 million and $46.3 million, respectively, of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan debt under the facility and $1.5 million and $4.7 million, respectively, in interest rate swap breakage fees. The Company has classified $52.7 million relating to Atlantic Aviation’s debt in current portion of long-term debt in the consolidated condensed balance sheet at September 30, 2010, as it expects to repay this amount within one year.
 
In November 2010, Atlantic Aviation used $9.5 million of excess cash flow to prepay $8.7 million of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan debt under this facility and incurred $839,000 in interest rate swap breakage fees.
 
9.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
 
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 the business’ interest payments. To meet this objective, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk on a majority of its debt with a variable-rate component.

9.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - (continued)
 
At September 30, 2010, the Company had $1.2 billion of current and long-term debt, $1.1 billion of which was economically hedged with interest rate swaps and $73.9 million of which was unhedged.
 
As discussed in Note 8, ‘‘Long-Term Debt’’, Atlantic Aviation applies its excess cash flow to prepay debt. As a result, $1.5 million of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the consolidated condensed balance sheet related to Atlantic Aviation’s derivative instruments were reclassified to interest expense in the consolidated condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Atlantic Aviation expects to record further reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense as the business continues to pay down its debt.
 
In March 2009, Atlantic Aviation, The Gas Company and District Energy entered into interest rate basis swap contracts that expired on March 31, 2010. These contracts effectively changed the interest rate index on each business’ existing swap contracts from the 90-day LIBOR rate to the 30-day LIBOR rate plus a margin of 19.50 basis points for Atlantic Aviation and 24.75 basis points for The Gas Company and District Energy. This transaction, adjusted for the prepayments of outstanding principal on the term loan debt at Atlantic Aviation, resulted in $580,000 and $1.8 million lower interest expense for these businesses for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 and the year ended December 31, 2009, respectively.
 
Effective February 25, 2009 for Atlantic Aviation and effective April 1, 2009 for the Company’s other businesses, the Company elected to discontinue hedge accounting. In prior periods, when the Company applied hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of derivatives that effectively offset the variability of cash flows on the Company’s debt interest obligations were recorded in other comprehensive income or loss. From the dates that hedge accounting was discontinued, all movements in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded directly through earnings. As interest payments are made, a portion of the other comprehensive loss recorded under hedge accounting is also reclassified into earnings. The Company will reclassify into earnings $50.1 million of net derivative losses, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of September 30, 2010 over the remaining life of the existing interest rate swaps, of which approximately $22.1 million will be reclassified over the next 12 months.
 
The Company measures derivative instruments at fair value using the income approach which discounts the future net cash settlements expected under the derivative contracts to a present value. These valuations utilize primarily observable (‘‘level 2’’) inputs, including contractual terms, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals.
 
The Company’s fair value measurements of its derivative instruments and the related location of the liabilities associated with the hedging instruments within the consolidated condensed balance sheets at September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were as follows:

12.    Reportable Segments - (continued)
 
All of the business segments are managed separately and management has chosen to organize the Company around the distinct products and services offered.
 
Energy-Related Businesses
 
IMTT provides bulk liquid storage and handling services in North America through ten terminals located on the East, West and Gulf Coasts, the Great Lakes region of the United States and partially owned terminals in Quebec and Newfoundland, Canada. IMTT derives the majority of its revenue from storage and handling of petroleum products, various chemicals, renewable fuels, and vegetable and animal oils. Based on storage capacity, IMTT operates one of the largest third-party bulk liquid storage terminal businesses in the United States.
 
The revenue from The Gas Company segment is included in revenue from product sales. Revenue is generated from the 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 growth, will generally track global oil prices. The utility revenue of The Gas Company reflects fuel adjustment charges, or FACs, through which changes in fuel costs are passed through to customers.
 
The revenue from the District Energy segment is included in service revenue and financing and equipment lease income. Included in service revenue is capacity 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 business’ various customers. District Energy provides its services to buildings primarily in the downtown Chicago, Illinois area and to a casino and a shopping mall located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
 
Atlantic Aviation
 
The Atlantic Aviation segment derives the majority of its revenues from fuel sales and from other airport services, including de-icing, aircraft hangarage and other aviation services. All of the revenue of Atlantic Aviation is generated in the United States at 68 airports and one heliport.
 
Selected information by segment is presented in the following tables. The tables do not include financial data for the Company’s equity investment in IMTT.

12.    Reportable Segments - (continued)
 
In accordance with FASB ASC 280 Segment Reporting, the Company has disclosed earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) excluding non-cash items as a key performance metric relied on by management in the evaluation of the Company’s performance. Non-cash items include impairments, derivative gains and losses and adjustments for other non-cash items reflected in the statements of operations. The Company believes EBITDA excluding non-cash items provides additional insight into the performance of the operating businesses relative to each other and similar businesses without regard to their capital structure, and their ability to service or reduce debt, fund capital expenditures and/or support distributions to the holding company. EBITDA excluding non-cash items is reconciled to net income or loss.
 
During the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company disclosed EBITDA excluding only non-cash gains (losses) on derivative instruments. The following tables, reflecting results of operations for the consolidated group and for each of the businesses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2009, have been conformed to current periods’ presentation reflecting EBITDA excluding all non-cash items.
 
EBITDA excluding non-cash items for the Company’s consolidated reportable segments is shown in the tables below ($ in thousands) (unaudited). Allocation of corporate expense and the federal tax effect have been excluded as they are eliminated on consolidation.

In August 2010, Macquarie AirFinance, or MAF, an indirect subsidiary of Macquarie Group Limited, parked an aircraft at one of Atlantic Aviation’s airports.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2010, Atlantic Aviation recorded $11,000 in revenue from MAF’s agent. As of September 30, 2010, there was no receivables balance outstanding from MAF.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Atlantic Aviation entered into a copiers lease agreement with Macquarie Equipment Finance, or MEF, an indirect subsidiary of Macquarie Group Limited. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Atlantic Aviation incurred $25,000 in lease expense on these copiers.  As of September 30, 2010, Atlantic Aviation had payables to MEF of $1,000, which is included in accounts payable in the consolidated condensed balance sheet.
 
On March 30, 2009, The Gas Company entered into licensing agreements with Utility Service Partners, Inc. and America’s Water Heater Rentals, LLC, both indirect subsidiaries of Macquarie Group Limited, to enable these entities to offer products and services to The Gas Company’s customer base.

In addition, the Company and several of its subsidiaries have entered into a licensing agreement with the Macquarie Group related to the use of the Macquarie name and trademark. The Macquarie Group does not charge the Company any fees for this license.
 
14.    Income Taxes
 
The Company expects to incur a net operating loss for federal consolidated income tax purposes for the year ending December 31, 2010. The Company believes that it will be able to utilize the projected federal and certain state consolidated 2010 and prior year net operating losses. Accordingly, the Company has not provided a valuation allowance against any deferred tax assets generated in 2010, except as noted below. Two of the Company’s businesses, IMTT and District Energy, are less than 80% owned by the Company, and those businesses file separate federal consolidated income tax returns.

14.    Income Taxes - (continued)
 
In the first nine months of 2010, the Company revised the valuation allowance from $20.6 million at December 31, 2009 to $8.0 million, a decrease of $12.6 million. Approximately $2.6 million of this decrease was recorded in benefit for income taxes from continuing operations in the consolidated condensed statements of operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and the remaining $10.0 million decrease recorded in discontinued operations.
 
As discussed in Note 5, ‘‘Discontinued Operations’’, as a result of the approval of the sale of PCAA’s assets in bankruptcy and the expected dissolution of PCAA during 2010, the Company has reduced its valuation allowance on the realization of a portion of the deferred tax assets attributable to its basis in PCAA and its consolidated federal net operating loss.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries file separate and combined state income tax returns. In calculating its consolidated projected effective state tax rate for 2010, the Company has taken into consideration an expected need to provide a valuation allowance for certain state income tax net operating loss carryforwards, the utilization of which is not assured beyond a reasonable doubt. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries expect to incur certain expenses that will not be deductible in determining state taxable income. Accordingly, these expenses have also been excluded in projecting the Company’s effective state tax rate.
 
Uncertain Tax Positions
 
At December 31, 2009, the Company and its subsidiaries had a reserve of approximately $336,000 for benefits taken during 2009 and prior tax periods attributable to tax positions for which the probability of recognition is considered to be less than more likely than not. There was no material change in that reserve as of September 30, 2010, and no material change is expected for the year ended December 31, 2010.
 
15.    Legal Proceedings and Contingencies
 
There are no material legal proceedings other than as disclosed in Part I, Item 3 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2010.
 
16.  Subsequent Event

Atlantic Aviation has been in the process of bidding for an operating lease renewal at one of the Atlanta airports. This airport was previously operating under a month to month lease. In November 2010, the lease was awarded to another party. The results of operations at this airport are not material to Atlantic Aviation's consolidated results of operations.
