There were 46,028,258 limited liability company interests without par value outstanding at August 2, 2011.

The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operation of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC (the Company or MIC) 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 International Matex Tank Terminals, or IMTT, The Gas Company and our controlling interest in District Energy; and an aviation-related business, 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.
On August 1, 2011, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.20 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, which will be paid on August 18, 2011 to holders of record on August 15, 2011. On May 18, 2011, we paid a dividend of $0.20 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
The precise timing and amount of any future dividend will be based on the continued stable performance of the Companys businesses and the economic conditions prevailing at the time of any authorization.
We believe that dividends paid in 2011 are likely to be characterized in part as a dividend and in part as a return of capital for tax purposes. Shareholders would include in their taxable income that portion which is characterized as a dividend. We anticipate that any portion that is characterized as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income, subject to the shareholder having met the holding period requirements as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. Any portion that is characterized as a return of capital for tax purposes would not be includable in the shareholders taxable income but would reduce the shareholders basis in the shares on which the dividend was paid.
MIC has been unable to resolve the previously-disclosed dispute with the co-owner of IMTT regarding distributions, despite efforts to do so in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement. Accordingly, on April 18, 2011, MIC initiated formal arbitration proceedings with the Voting Trust of IMTT Holdings Inc. (Voting Trust) and IMTT Holdings Inc. under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association, as provided under the Shareholders Agreement. MIC believes the Voting Trusts defenses and claims in the arbitration are wholly without merit. We expect this process to be completed in the first quarter of 2012.
IMTT is named as a respondent because under the Shareholders Agreement it is responsible for any monetary damages resulting from a breach of the Shareholders Agreement by the Voting Trust. MIC is seeking payment of distributions due for the quarters ended December 31, 2010, March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, an order covering future periods and other non-monetary relief that is designed to minimize the risk of future disputes. MIC has become concerned that, until the issues in the arbitration have been finally resolved, IMTTs senior management (which includes members and beneficiaries of the Voting Trust) may make operational decisions that are influenced by the context of the arbitration. We expect that this will be resolved through the arbitration.
Contingent upon the favorable outcome of the arbitration, and the continued stable performance of our businesses, and subject to prevailing economic conditions, our board of directors expect to increase our quarterly dividend.

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.
Improvement in general aviation activity levels have resulted in improvement in the operating performance of Atlantic Aviation. We will continue to apply excess cash flow generated by Atlantic Aviation to the reduction of that business term loan principal, in accordance with the terms of its debt facility. Those repayments are expected to enhance the terms on which we may be able to refinance this debt when it matures in 2014.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, Atlantic Aviation concluded that several of its sites did not have sufficient scale or serve a market with sufficiently strong growth prospects to warrant continued operations at these sites. Atlantic Aviation has sold certain FBOs and is reinvesting proceeds into markets which it views as having better growth profiles. Accordingly, Atlantic Aviation recorded a $1.2 million non-cash loss on disposal of assets.
On June 21, 2011, Atlantic Aviation opened its newest facility at Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City. On July 13, 2011, Atlantic Aviation entered into an asset purchase agreement for FBOs at the Portland International and Eugene airports in Oregon. This acquisition will expand the business network into the Pacific Northwest and follows the successful sale of smaller FBOs during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011. The transaction reflects reinvestment of proceeds from these sales. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in the purchase agreement, including consent of the relevant airport authorities, Atlantic Aviation expects to close the transaction in August.
We file a consolidated federal income tax return that includes the taxable income of The Gas Company and Atlantic Aviation. IMTT and District Energy file separate federal income tax returns. To the extent we receive distributions from IMTT and District Energy, the distribution may be characterized as non-taxable returns of capital, and reduce our tax basis in these companies, or as a taxable dividend. We will include in our taxable income the taxable portion of any distributions from IMTT and District Energy characterized as a dividend. Those dividends are eligible for the 80% dividend received deduction.
As a result of having federal net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards, we do not expect to have consolidated regular federal taxable income or regular federal tax payments at least through the 2013 tax year. However, we expect to pay an Alternative Minimum Tax of approximately $409,000 for 2011. 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.
In December 2010, the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 (the Act) was signed. The Act provides for 100% bonus depreciation for certain fixed assets placed in service after September 8, 2010 and before January 1, 2012, and 50% bonus depreciation for certain fixed assets placed in service during 2012 for federal income tax purposes. Generally, states do not allow this bonus depreciation deduction in determining state taxable income. Importantly, Illinois and Louisiana, two states in which we have significant operations, do permit the use of bonus depreciation in calculating state taxable income. The Company will take into consideration the benefits of these accelerated depreciation provisions of the Act when evaluating our capital expenditure plans for the remainder of 2011 and 2012.

In January 2011, Illinois enacted the Taxpayer Accountability and Budget Stabilization Act. The legislation increases the corporate income tax rate to 7.0% from 4.8% for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2011 and prior to January 1, 2015; 5.25% for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2015 and prior to January 1, 2025; and 4.8% for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The legislation also provides that no NOL carryforwards deduction will be allowed for any taxable year ending after December 31, 2010 and prior to December 31, 2014. For purposes of determining the taxable years to which a net loss may be carried, no taxable year for which a deduction is disallowed under this provision will be counted. As discussed below in District Energys Results of Operations, the income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011, reflects a change in the deferred tax liability of this business to reflect the change in Illinois law.
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 discontinued operations in the Companys 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. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations, in our consolidated condensed financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for financial information and further discussions.

Consolidated gross profit increased reflecting improved results for fuel-related services at Atlantic Aviation and The Gas Company, partially offset by non-fuel related services at Atlantic Aviation.
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased at Atlantic Aviation and at The Gas Company. Selling, general and administrative expenses at Atlantic Aviation decreased primarily due to lower rent expense resulting from the sale of non-core FBOs, partially offset by higher motor fuel costs and higher weather-related expense in the first quarter of 2011. Selling, general and administrative expenses at The Gas Company decreased primarily due to increased allocation of labor costs to capital projects, partially offset by higher professional fees.
Base management fees to our Manager increased in line with our increased market capitalization. Our Manager elected to reinvest its first quarter 2011 base management fee of $3.6 million in additional LLC interests and 144,742 LLC interests were issued to our Manager on June 6, 2011. Our Manager has elected to reinvest its second quarter 2011 base management fee of $4.2 million in additional LLC interests. These LLC interests will be issued during the third quarter of 2011.
Our Manager elected to reinvest its first quarter 2010 base management fees of $2.2 million in additional LLC interests and 155,375 LLC interests were issued to our Manager on June 11, 2010. The base management fee in the amount of $2.3 million for the second quarter of 2010 was paid in cash to our Manager during the third quarter of 2010.
The increase in depreciation primarily reflects the non-cash asset impairment charge of $1.4 million recorded at Atlantic Aviation during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The impairment charge resulted from adverse conditions specific to three small locations.
The increase in amortization of intangibles expense reflects the non-cash impairment charge of $7.3 million recorded at Atlantic Aviation during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The impairment charge resulted from adverse conditions specific to three small locations.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, Atlantic Aviation concluded that several of its sites did not have sufficient scale or serve a market with sufficiently strong growth prospects to warrant continued operations at these sites. Atlantic Aviation has sold certain FBOs and is reinvesting proceeds into markets which it views as having better growth profiles. Accordingly, Atlantic Aviation recorded a $1.2 million non-cash loss on disposal of assets.
Interest expense includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $545,000 and non-cash gains on derivative instruments of $5.0 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $20.5 million and $31.7 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The change in the non-cash (losses) gains on derivatives recorded in interest expense is attributable to the change in fair value of interest rate swaps and includes the reclassification of amounts from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings. Excluding the portion related to non-cash (losses) gains on derivatives, interest expense decreased primarily due to lower principal balance at Atlantic Aviation, partially offset by the expiration of an interest rate basis swap agreement in March 2010 at each of the consolidated operating businesses.

The decrease in equity in the earnings of IMTT, predominantly in the quarter ended June 30, 2011, primarily reflects our share of the decrease in operating results of the business, partially offset by lower non-cash derivative losses compared with 2010.
For 2011, we expect that any consolidated taxable income we report will be fully offset by our NOL carryforwards. For 2011, we expect to pay a federal Alternative Minimum Tax of approximately $409,000.
As we own less than 80% of IMTT and District Energy, these businesses are not included in our consolidated federal tax return. These businesses file separate consolidated income tax returns, and we include 20% of any dividends received from IMTT and District Energy in our consolidated income tax return. Further, we expect that any dividends from IMTT and District Energy in 2011 will be treated as taxable dividends and qualify for the 80% Dividends Received Deduction (DRD).
The following table reconciles our net income from continuing operations before income taxes and noncontrolling interests to our federal taxable income for the six months ended June 30, 2011 ($ in thousands):
Net income from continuing operations before income taxes and noncontrolling interests | $ | 13,441 | ||

Accordingly, our tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is as follows: |

Federal tax at 35% of the taxable income | $ | 4,398 | ||
State income tax expense | 2,100 | |||
Total tax provision | $ | 6,498 |
Valuation allowance:
As discussed in Note 17, Income Taxes in our consolidated financial statements, in Part II, Item 8 of our Form 10-K for 2010, 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, 2010, our valuation allowance was approximately $9.2 million. In calculating our consolidated income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2011, we did not provide for an increase in the valuation allowance.
During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we reduced the valuation allowance by approximately $2.6 million. This decrease was recorded as part of the benefit for income taxes included in continuing operations on the consolidated condensed statements of 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 discontinued operations in our consolidated condensed financial statements. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations, in our consolidated condensed financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for financial information and further discussions.

In accordance with GAAP, we have disclosed EBITDA excluding non-cash items for our Company and each of our operating segments in Note 11, 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.
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.

The increase in terminal revenue primarily reflects growth in storage revenue. Storage revenue grew due to an increase in average rental rates of 13.2% during the first six months of 2011 as compared with the first six months of 2010. IMTT expects full year average rental rates to rise by approximately 11.0%.
Capacity utilization was 94.3% and 94.0% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, compared with 94.8% and 95.4% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Utilization rates were lower in the first six months of 2011, primarily due to tank modifications for certain customers as well as tanks being taken out of service for inspection and repairs and maintenance. IMTT expects utilization rates to remain between approximately 93.0% and 94.0% throughout 2011.
Terminal operating costs increased during the first six months of 2011, predominantly in the second quarter. IMTT management has explained that the cause of the second quarter cost growth was one-time factors beyond their control and because certain costs were pulled forward into the second quarter. The two largest cost increases were medical costs and tank repairs and cleaning costs. The majority of the increase in tank repair costs relates to the repair of a construction defect in tanks recently constructed at Bayonne. These repairs are approximately two-thirds completed.
Revenue and gross profit from environmental response services decreased during the first six months of 2011, predominantly in the second quarter of 2011, compared with the first six months of 2010 primarily due to a lower level of spill response activity as a result of the BP oil spill in 2010.
General and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2011 decreased primarily due to the current absence of the costs associated with the BP oil spill that occurred in the second quarter of 2010.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased as IMTT completed several major expansion projects, resulting in higher asset balances.
Interest expense, net, includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $7.6 million and $3.3 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, interest expense, net, includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $17.4 million and $22.1 million, respectively.
Excluding the non-cash losses on derivative instruments, interest expense is higher due to increased rates on the amended revolving credit facility and letter of credit fees associated with the tax-exempt debt. Cash interest paid was $8.2 million and $16.8 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $8.5 million and $15.9 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011, IMTT recorded $4.2 million of current federal income tax expense and $3.4 million of current state income tax expense. As assets are placed in service for the remainder of 2011, IMTT expects federal taxable income to decrease due to tax depreciation applicable to these assets. As a result, IMTT expects to pay cash federal taxes of $1.5 million and pay cash state taxes of $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.
For the year ended December 31, 2010, IMTT recorded $5.5 million of current federal income tax expense and $7.0 million of current state income tax expense. At December 31, 2009, IMTT had a federal NOL 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 was fully utilized in 2010.

A significant difference between IMTTs 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 and 2011 qualify for the federal 50% or 100% 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 Gulf Opportunity Zone Bonds (GO Zone Bonds). GO Zone Bond financed assets are depreciated, for tax purposes, primarily over 9 to 20 years using the straight-line depreciation method. Most of the states in which the business operates do not allow the use of the federal bonus depreciation calculation methods.

Management believes that the presentation and analysis of contribution margin, a non-GAAP performance measure, is meaningful to understanding the business performance under both a utility rate structure and a non-utility unregulated pricing structure. Regulation of the utility portion of The Gas Companys operations provides for the pass through of increases or decreases in feedstock costs to customers. Changes in the cost of propane distributed to non-utility customers can be recovered in pricing, subject to competitive conditions.
Contribution margin should not be considered an alternative to revenue, gross profit, operating income, or net income, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of contribution margin to gross profit is presented in the above table. The business calculates contribution margin as revenue less direct costs of revenue other than production and transmission and distribution costs. Other companies may calculate contribution margin differently or may use different metrics and, therefore, the contribution margin presented for The Gas Company is not necessarily comparable with metrics of other companies.
Utility contribution margin was higher driven by an increase in sales volume.
Non-utility contribution margin was higher due to price increases partially offset by increased gas and transportation costs and lower non-utility volume resulting from local propane supply disruptions.
Production, transmission and distribution and selling, general and administrative expenses are primarily composed of labor-related expenses and professional fees. On a combined basis, these costs were lower in 2011, primarily driven by increased allocation of labor costs to capital projects. Underlying costs were higher due to higher professional fees and operating lease payments.
Interest expense, net, includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $1.2 million and $897,000 for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, interest expense, net, includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $3.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively. Excluding the non-cash losses on derivative instruments, interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was slightly higher due to the expiration of an interest rate basis swap agreement in March 2010.
Cash interest paid was $2.1 million and $4.3 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $2.2 million and $4.3 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
Income from The Gas Company is included in our consolidated federal income tax return, and 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, 2011, the business expects to pay cash state income taxes of approximately $1.4 million, of which $682,000 was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Any federal income tax liability is expected to be offset in consolidation from the application of NOLs.
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 the business 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 Energys performance during the periods presented below.

Gross profit decreased primarily due to cooler average temperatures during the second quarter of 2011 compared with 2010 resulting in lower consumption revenue net of electricity costs. Gross profit also decreased due to higher real estate taxes and plant rent. The decline was partially offset by an increase in cooling capacity revenue from new customers and annual inflation-related increases of contract capacity rates in accordance with customer contract terms.
Underlying selling, general and administrative expenses were relatively flat compared with 2010. The first quarter of 2010 included a reversal of accrued incentives that did not recur in 2011.
Interest expense, net, includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $2.3 million and $1.9 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, interest expense, net, includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $5.3 million and $8.8 million, respectively. Excluding the non-cash losses on derivative instruments, interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was slightly higher due to the expiration of an interest rate basis swap agreement in March 2010.
Cash interest paid was $2.5 million and $5.0 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $2.6 million and $4.9 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.
For periods prior to the sale of 49.99% noncontrolling interest in the business in December 2009, 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.
For periods after December 2009, District Energy will file a separate federal income tax return and will continue to file a separate Illinois state income tax return. As of December 31, 2010, the business has approximately $18.5 million in federal NOL carryforwards available to offset positive taxable income. For the year ending December 31, 2011, District Energy expects to pay a federal Alternative Minimum Tax of approximately $34,000 and state income taxes of approximately $179,000.
In 2011, Illinois enacted the Taxpayer Accountability and Budget Stabilization Act, which increases the state corporate income tax rate to 7.0% from 4.8% through 2014 and suspended the use of state NOL carryforwards through 2014. At December 31, 2010, the business had approximately $18.0 million in state NOL carryforwards. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, District Energy recorded approximately $147,000 of deferred state income tax expense due to the increase in Illinois corporate income tax rates enacted in 2011.

The majority of the revenue and gross profit in Atlantic Aviation is generated through fueling GA aircraft at 63 airports and one heliport in the U.S. Revenue is categorized according to who owns the fuel used to service these aircrafts. 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, landing fees, tie-down fees and miscellaneous services.
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 Aviations gross profit than a discussion of each item. In the first six months of 2011, the business derived 64.7% of total gross profit from fuel and fuel-related services compared with 64.0% in the first six months of 2010.
The increase in gross profit for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 resulted from an increase in fuel volume sold at marginally higher fuel margins, partially offset by the divestiture of non-core FBOs in the first half of 2011.
On a same store basis, gross profit increased by 4.2% and 4.0% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. On the same basis, GA fuel volume sold increased by 4.5% for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 and GA average fuel margin increased by 0.5%. Non-fuel and non-GA gross profit increased by 2.9%.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2011 were flat compared with the first six months of 2010. Higher weather-related expense in the first quarter of 2011 and higher motor fuel cost in the first six months of 2011 were offset by lower rent expense resulting from the sale of non-core FBOs during the second quarter of 2011.
On a same-store basis, SG&A increased 0.6% and 1.9% for the quarter and six months ending June 30, 2011, respectively.
On a same-store basis, EBITDA increased 9.4% and 6.9% for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense includes non-cash impairment charge of $8.7 million recorded at Atlantic Aviation during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The impairment charge resulted from adverse conditions specific to three small locations.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the business concluded that several of its sites did not have sufficient scale or serve a market with sufficiently strong growth prospects to warrant continued operations at these sites. Atlantic Aviation has sold certain FBOs and is reinvesting proceeds into markets which it views as having better growth profiles. Accordingly, Atlantic Aviation recorded a $1.2 million non-cash loss on disposal of assets.
18
Interest expense, net, includes non-cash gains on derivative instruments of $2.9 million and $7.8 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively. For the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, interest expense, net, includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $11.6 million and $16.6 million, respectively. Excluding the non-cash losses on derivative instruments, interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was lower due to the prepayment of term loan debt, partially offset by the expiration of an interest rate basis swap agreement in March 2010.
Excluding cash paid for interest rate swap breakage fees, cash interest paid was $13.0 million and $26.2 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $13.8 million and $27.6 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. Cash paid for interest rate swap breakage fees were $627,000 and $1.7 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $695,000 and $3.2 million for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. These fees are excluded from interest expense, net in the current quarter as they have been included in interest expense, net in prior periods as part of the mark-to-market derivative adjustments at Atlantic Aviation.
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.
The business has approximately $59.0 million of state NOL carryforwards at December 31, 2010. 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 its consolidated state taxable income is less than $59.0 million.
Atlantic Aviation, as a whole, expects to generate a current year federal and state taxable income in 2011. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the business expects to pay state income taxes of approximately $1.2 million.
Atlantic Aviation recorded an increase of approximately $134,000 in its reserve for uncertain tax positions in the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The increase in the reserve was recorded as a state income tax expense for the period.
Our primary cash requirements include normal operating expenses, debt service, debt principal payments, payments of dividends and capital expenditures. Our primary source of cash is operating activities, although we may borrow against existing credit facilities for growth capital expenditures, issue additional LLC interests or sell assets to generate cash.
On August 1, 2011, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.20 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, which will be paid on August 18, 2011 to holders of record on August 15, 2011. On May 18, 2011, we paid a dividend of $0.20 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
The precise timing and amount of any future dividend will be based on the continued stable performance of the Companys businesses and the economic conditions prevailing at the time of any authorization.
19
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 dividend payments. 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 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. |
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 June 30, 2011, 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 3.1 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.
We have no holding company debt.
Due to the impact on financial markets of the recent process to raise the U.S. Government debt ceiling and approve a deficit reduction plan, we drew $35.0 million on revolving credit facilities at our portfolio companies to increase our short-term liquidity. This action was taken during July 2011 and is therefore not reflected in our June 30, 2011 financial statements.
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.

Consolidated cash provided by operating activities comprises primarily from 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 holding company, including base management fees paid in cash, professional fees and cost associated with being a public company.
The decrease in consolidated cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to:
| higher working capital requirements due to increased energy costs at Atlantic Aviation and The Gas Company; and |
| absence of distribution from IMTT in the first six months of 2011; partially offset by |
| improved operating performance and lower interest paid on the reduced term loan balance for Atlantic Aviation; and |
| improved operating performance at The Gas Company. |
20
Distributions from IMTT are reflected in our consolidated cash provided by operating activities only up to our 50% share of IMTTs positive earnings. Amounts in excess of this, and any distributions when IMTT records a net loss, are reflected in our consolidated cash from investing activities as a return of investment in unconsolidated business. For the first six months of 2010, $5.0 million in distributions were included in cash from operating activities.
The increase in consolidated cash provided by investing activities was primarily due to:
| cash proceeds received in 2011 for the sale of FBOs at Atlantic Aviation; |
| decrease in investment in capital leased asset at District Energy; partially offset by |
| increase in capital expenditures at Atlantic Aviation due to construction costs of a new FBO at Oklahoma City; and |
| increase in capital expenditures at The Gas Company due to timing of projects. |
The increase in consolidated cash used in financing activities was primarily due to:
| first quarter 2011 dividend paid to our shareholders during the second quarter 2011; and |
| increase in distributions paid to noncontrolling interests at District Energy; offset by |
| lower net debt repayments in 2011 at Atlantic Aviation; and |
| borrowings on line of credit facilities and proceed from long term debt in 2011 at Atlantic Aviation. |
Our businesses are capitalized with a mix of equity and project-finance style debt. 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 must 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.
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 discuss 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.

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 decreased primarily due to lower operating results, partially offset by a smaller increase in working capital requirements.
In 2010, working capital requirements increased substantially as a result of the timing of payments on work being performed on the BP spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily due to the release of a tax-exempt bond escrow, partially offset by higher capital expenditures in the first six months of 2011 as compared with the first six months of 2010. Total capital expenditures increased from $34.4 million in the first six months of 2010 to $49.9 million in the first six months of 2011 primarily reflecting an increase in growth capital expenditures.
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.
IMTT incurred $21.5 million and $19.0 million in the first six months of 2011 and the first six months of 2010, respectively, on maintenance capital expenditures, including (i) $19.6 million and $16.6 million, respectively, principally in relation to refurbishments of tanks, docks and other infrastructure and (ii) $1.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, on environmental capital expenditures, principally in relation to improvements in containment measures and remediation.
For the full-year 2011, IMTT expects to spend approximately $55.0 million on maintenance capital expenditures. IMTT anticipates that maintenance capital expenditures will remain at elevated levels through 2014 due to required cleaning and inspection program in Louisiana.
During the first six months of 2011, IMTT incurred growth capital expenditures of $28.4 million. This compares with growth capital expenditures incurred of $15.4 million for the first six months of 2010.
During the first half of 2011, IMTT committed to projects that are expected to cost $85.4 million, which are expected to add $13.6 million of EBITDA on an annualized basis. In addition, IMTT completed the construction and refurbishment of 1.4 million barrels at a total cost of $38.5 million, which will add $6.5 million to EBITDA on an annualized basis. These barrels were commissioned at various points throughout the first six months of 2011.
At June 30, 2011, IMTT is in the process of constructing and refurbishing 1.9 million barrels of storage. These projects are expected to cost $171.9 million in total and contribute $28.5 million to gross profit and EBITDA on an annualized basis. The projects are expected to be commissioned between 2011 and 2013. At June 30, 2011, $13.1 million of the $171.9 million had been spent or committed.
In addition, IMTT is engaged in the construction or upgrade of related infrastructure, primarily docks. These projects are expected to cost $55.4 million. During the first six months of 2011, IMTT spent $9.3 million on these infrastructure projects. At June 30, 2011, $34.9 million of the $55.4 million had been spent or committed.

In December 2010, the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 (the Act) was signed. The Act provides for 100% bonus depreciation for certain fixed assets placed in service after September 8, 2010 and before January 1, 2012, and 50% bonus depreciation for certain fixed assets placed in service during 2012 for federal income tax purposes. Generally, states do not allow this bonus depreciation deduction in determining state taxable income. Importantly, Louisiana, in which IMTT has significant operations, does permit the use of bonus depreciation in calculating state taxable income. IMTT will take into consideration the benefits of these accelerated depreciation provisions of the Act when evaluating its capital expenditure plans for the remainder of 2011 and 2012.
Cash flows used in financing activities decreased primarily due to a distribution of $5.0 million to each shareholder on January 4, 2010 as compared with no distributions paid during the first six months of 2011 as well as debt refinancing costs in 2010 that did not recur.
At June 30, 2011, the outstanding balance on IMTTs debt facilities, excluding capitalized leases, consisted of $336.3 million in letter of credit backed tax exempt bonds, $190.0 million in bank owned tax exempt bonds, a $65.0 million term loan, $22.3 million in revolving credit facilities and $30.0 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 5.02%. Cash interest paid was $16.8 million and $15.9 million for six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
For a description of the material terms of IMTTs credit facilities, see Liquidity and Capital Resources in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. IMTT has not had any material changes to these credit facilities since February 23, 2011, our 10-K filing date.

The main driver of cash provided by operating activities is customer receipts. The business incurs 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 decrease from the 2010 to 2011 was primarily driven by higher working capital requirements due to increased fuel costs to be recovered from customers, partially offset by improved operating results during 2011.
Cash used in investing activities is composed primarily 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 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 expenditures include the purchase of meters, regulators and propane tanks for new customers, the cost of installing pipelines for new residential and commercial construction, the renewable feedstock pilot program and the expansion of gas storage facilities.

The following table sets forth information about capital expenditures in The Gas Company:
Maintenance | Growth | |||||||
Six months ended June 30, 2010 | $1.7 million | $2.2 million | ||||||

Commitments at June 30, 2011 | $367,000 | $227,000 |
The business expects to fund its total 2011 capital expenditures primarily from cash from operating activities and available debt facilities. Capital expenditures for 2011 are expected to be higher than in 2010 due to completion of the renewable feedstock project, pipeline maintenance and inspection projects related to the integrity management program (expected to be completed by 2012) and expansion of storage facilities. These are reflected in the increase in capital expenditure for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and committed at June 30, 2011.
December 2010, the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 (the Act) was signed. The Act provides for 100% bonus depreciation for certain fixed assets placed in service after September 8, 2010 and before January 1, 2012, and 50% bonus depreciation for certain fixed assets placed in service during 2012 for federal income tax purposes. Generally, states do not allow this bonus depreciation deduction in determining state taxable income. The business will take into consideration the benefits of these accelerated depreciation provisions of the Act when evaluating its capital expenditure plans for the remainder of 2011 and 2012.
The main drivers for cash from financing activities are debt financings for capital expenditures and the repayment of outstanding credit facilities. At June 30, 2011, the outstanding balance on the business debt facilities consisted of $160.0 million in term loan facility borrowings. In 2010, the business repaid $19.0 million of its capital expenditure facility borrowings and no amount was outstanding at June 30, 2011.
The Gas Company has interest rate swaps hedging 100% of the interest rate exposure under the two $80.0 million floating rate term loan facilities that effectively fix the interest rate. The weighted average interest rate of the outstanding debt facilities, including any interest rate swaps at June 30, 2011, was 5.44%, which includes a ten basis point step-up in the LIBOR margin, effective June 8, 2011, for each of two $80.0 million term loan facilities. The business paid $4.3 million in interest expense related to its debt facilities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. Cash interest expense was slightly higher in the first six months of 2011 due to the expiration of an interest rate basis swap agreement in March 2010.
The Gas Company also has an uncommitted unsecured short-term borrowing facility of $7.5 million that was renewed during the second quarter of 2011. This credit line bears interest at the lending banks quoted rate or prime rate. The facility is available for working capital needs. No amount was outstanding for this facility at June 30, 2011.
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 look-backward ratio and look-forward ratios at June 30, 2011 were 7.34x and 5.27x, respectively. |
Additionally, the HPUC requires the consolidated debt to total capital for HGC Holdings not to exceed 65% and $20.0 million to be readily available in cash resources at The Gas Company, HGC Holdings or MIC. At June 30, 2011, the debt to total capital ratio was 56.6% and $20.0 million in cash resources was readily available.

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. Cash from operating activities increased as a result of the timing of receipt of certain equipment lease payments in 2011 compared with 2010 and the expiration of a requirement that the business prepay a portion of its electricity supply.
Cash used in investing activities mainly comprises capital expenditures, which are generally funded by drawing on available facilities. Cash used in investing activities in 2011 and 2010 primarily funded growth capital expenditures for new customer connections and plant expansion.
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 lower during the first six months of 2011 due to the timing of spend on ordinary course maintenance projects.
District Energy signed contracts with five additional customers and committed to spend $1.9 million on interconnection, of which it had spent $1.0 million as of June 30, 2011, with $900,000 remaining to be spent. The business anticipates it will receive reimbursements from customers for approximately $1.1 million of the total $1.9 million expenditure, of which it had received $200,000 as of June 30, 2011. These additional customers are expected to contribute $625,000 to gross profit and EBITDA on an annualized basis.
The business continues to actively market to new potential customers. 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.
The following table sets forth information about District Energys capital expenditures:
Maintenance | Growth | |||||||
Six months ended June 30, 2010 | $719,000 | $127,000 | ||||||
Six months ended June 30, 2011 | $478,000 | $523,000 | ||||||
2011 full year projected | $1.0 million | $1.7 million | ||||||
Commitments at June 30, 2011 | $45,000 | $38,000 |
Growth capital expenditures were higher during the first six months of 2011 due to the timing of spend related to connecting new customers to the business district cooling system.

In early 2009, District Energys Las Vegas operation began providing service to a new customer building. 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 interest shareholder of District Energys Las Vegas operation during the first quarter of 2010 (see Financing Activities below).
At June 30, 2011, the outstanding balance on the business debt facilities consisted of $170.0 million in term loan facilities. The weighted average interest rate of the outstanding debt facilities, including any interest rate swaps and fees associated with outstanding letters of credit at June 30, 2011, was 5.51%. Cash interest paid was $5.0 million and $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Cash interest expense was slightly higher due to the expiration of an interest rate basis swap agreement in March 2010.
The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to increased distributions paid to the noncontrolling interest shareholders. In 2010, these distributions were offset by a $300,000 capital contribution from the noncontrolling interest shareholder of District Energys 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 June 30, 2011 was 2.5x. |
| 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 June 30, 2011 was 10.3%. |

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 increased from the first six months of 2010 to the first six months of 2011 primarily due to:
| improved operating results; and |
| lower cash interest paid driven by reduced debt levels, partially offset by; |
| the timing of payment of fuel purchases. |
26
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities relates primarily to proceeds from the sale of FBOs and capital expenditures. Cash in investing activities increased from cash used in investing activities during the first six months of 2010 to cash provided by investing activities during first six months of 2011 as a result of the proceeds received from the sale of FBO during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 offset by increase in capital expenditures during 2011.
Maintenance expenditures are generally funded by cash from operating activities and growth capital expenditures are generally funded with draws on capital expenditure facilities.
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 expenditures are incurred primarily 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 following table sets forth information about capital expenditures in Atlantic Aviation:
Maintenance | Growth | |||||||
Six months ended June 30, 2010 | $1.9 million | $676,000 | ||||||
Six months ended June 30, 2011 | $2.9 million | $3.9 million | ||||||
2011 full year projected | $11.5 million | $7.0 million | ||||||
Commitments at June 30, 2011 | $312,000 | $932,000 |
Growth capital expenditures incurred in the first six months of 2011 primarily reflects the construction costs of a new FBO at Will Rogers Airport in Oklahoma City, construction of a hangar at Atlanta Peachtree and the construction of a new fuel farm at El Paso.
In December 2010, the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 (the Act) was signed. The Act provides for 100% bonus depreciation for certain fixed assets placed in service after September 8, 2010 and before January 1, 2012, and 50% bonus depreciation for certain fixed assets placed in service during 2012 for federal income tax purposes. Generally, states do not allow this bonus depreciation deduction in determining state taxable income. The business will take into consideration the benefits of these accelerated depreciation provisions of the Act when evaluating its capital expenditure plans for the remainder of 2011 and 2012.
At June 30, 2011, the outstanding balance on Atlantic Aviations debt facilities consisted of $738.8 million in term loan facility borrowings, which is 100% hedged with interest rate swaps, and $49.8 million in capital expenditure facility borrowings. The weighted average interest rate on the term loan was 6.48%. The interest rate applicable on the capital expenditure facility is the three-month U.S. Libor plus a margin of 1.60%. In the first six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the business paid approximately $26.2 million and $27.6 million, respectively, in interest expense, excluding interest rate swap breakage fees, related to its debt facilities.
In addition to the debt facilities described above, Atlantic Aviation raised a $3.5 million stand-alone debt facility to partially fund the construction of a new FBO at Oklahoma City Will Rogers Airport. At June 30, 2011, the outstanding balance on the stand-alone facility was $2.7 million.
The decrease in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to a larger debt prepayment of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan debt in 2010 of $31.7 million compared with $24.5 million in 2011 and borrowings on long-term debt facility and line of credit during 2011.
27
The maximum permitted debt-to-EBITDA ratio dropped to 7.50x on March 31, 2011. The business expects to remain in compliance with the maximum leverage covenant through the maturity of its debt facilities if the performance of the business remains at current levels.
The financial covenant requirements under Atlantic Aviations credit facility, and the calculation of these measures at June 30, 2011, were as follows:
| Debt Service Coverage Ratio > 1.2x (default threshold). The ratio at June 30, 2011 was 2.02x. |
| Leverage Ratio debt to EBITDA for the trailing twelve months < 7.50x (default threshold). The ratio at June 30, 2011 was 6.56x. |
In cooperation with the business lenders, the terms of Atlantic Aviations loan agreement were amended on February 25, 2009. The amendments require 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 to 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 a description of the material terms of Atlantic Aviations 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, 2010. We have not had any material changes to these credit facilities since February 23, 2011, our 10-K filing date.
At June 30, 2011 there were no material changes in our future commitments and contingencies from December 31, 2010, except for the mandatory prepayment we expect to make under the cash sweep terms of Atlantic Aviations 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 Aviations credit facility, the business will apply all excess cash flow from the business to prepay the debt principal for the foreseeable future. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Atlantic Aviation used $26.2 million of excess cash flow to prepay $24.5 million of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan debt under the facility and $1.7 million in interest rate swap breakage fees. Actual prepayment amounts in the periods beginning June 30, 2012 through the maturity of the facility will depend on the performance of the business.
See Note 7, Long-Term Debt, to our consolidated condensed financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for further discussion. At June 30, 2011, 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, 2010, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2011. We have not had any material changes to our commitments except as discussed above.
In addition, at June 30, 2011, 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). |

For critical accounting policies and estimates, see Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed materially from the description contained in that Annual Report.
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, property and equipment and goodwill.
Trademarks are generally considered to be indefinite life intangibles. Trademarks and goodwill are not amortized in most circumstances. It may be appropriate to amortize some trademarks. However, for unamortized intangible assets, we are required to perform annual impairment reviews and more frequently in certain circumstances.
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 units 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 with 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, which are not amortized, requires the determination of the fair value of such assets. If the fair value of the trademarks are 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.
29
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 property, equipment, land and leasehold improvement and intangible assets during the quarter ended June 30, 2011 relating to Atlantic Aviation are discussed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Results of Operations in Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

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 six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2010 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, 2010 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2011.
Following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted number of shares used in computing (loss) income per share:
Quarter Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||
2011 | 2010 | 2011 | 2010 | |||||||||||||
Weighted average number of shares outstanding: basic | 45,901,486 | 45,467,413 | 45,816,499 | 45,381,413 | ||||||||||||
Dilutive effect of restricted stock unit grants | | 136,651 | 29,736 | 132,451 | ||||||||||||
Weighted average number of shares outstanding: diluted | 45,901,486 | 45,604,064 | 45,846,235 | 45,513,864 |
The effect of potentially dilutive shares for the six months ended June 30, 2011 is calculated assuming that the 17,925 restricted stock unit grants provided to the independent directors on June 2, 2011 and the 31,989 restricted stock unit grants provided to the independent directors on June 3, 2010 had been fully converted to shares on those grant dates. However, the restricted stock unit grants were anti-dilutive for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, due to the Companys net loss for that period.
The effect of potentially dilutive shares for the quarter and six months ended June 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.
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 Companys 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 PCAAs assets in bankruptcy and the dissolution of PCAA during 2010, the Company reduced its valuation allowance in 2010 on the realization of a portion of the deferred tax assets attributable to its basis in PCAA and its consolidated federal net operating loss, or NOL. The change in the valuation allowance recorded in discontinued operations was $9.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.
The results of operations from this business, for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010, are separately reported as discontinued operations in the Companys consolidated condensed financial statements. This business is no longer a reportable segment.

As a result of a decline in the performance of certain asset groups at Atlantic Aviation during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company evaluated such asset groups for impairment and determined the asset groups were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $1.4 million primarily relating to leasehold and land improvements; buildings; machinery and equipment; and furniture and
37
fixtures at Atlantic Aviation, on assets with a carrying value of $1.8 million. The fair value of $405,000 of the impaired asset group was estimated using discounted cash flows. The significant unobservable inputs (level 3) used for the fair value measurement included forecasted cash flows of Atlantic Aviation and its asset groups and the discount rate. The forecasted cash flows for this business were developed using actual cash flows from 2011 and forecasted jet fuel volumes based on market dynamics at three small sites. The discount rate was developed using a capital asset pricing model. These charges are recorded in depreciation expense in the consolidated condensed statement of operations.

As a result of a decline in the performance of certain asset groups at Atlantic Aviation during the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company evaluated such asset groups for impairment and determined the asset groups were impaired. Accordingly, the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $7.3 million relating to contractual arrangements at Atlantic Aviation, on assets with a carrying value of $7.5 million. The fair value of $233,000 of the impaired asset group was estimated using discounted cash flows. The significant unobservable inputs (level 3) used for the fair value measurement included forecasted cash flows of Atlantic Aviation and its asset groups and the discount rate. The forecasted cash flows for this business were developed using actual cash flows from 2011 and forecasted jet fuel volumes based on market dynamics at three small sites. The discount rate was developed using a capital asset pricing model. These charges are recorded in amortization of intangibles in the consolidated condensed statement of operations.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company wrote-off $3.1 million of goodwill associated with the sale of FBOs at Hayward Executive Airport in California and Burlington International Airport in Vermont. Proceeds of $16.9 million were received and a $365,000 loss on disposal of assets was recorded in the consolidated condensed statement of operations upon the completion of the sale.
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. Annual goodwill impairment testing conducted routinely on October 1st of each year.

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 must 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 must 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 six months ended June 30, 2011, Atlantic Aviation used $10.6 million and $26.2 million, respectively, of excess cash flow to prepay $10.0 million and $24.5 million, respectively, of the outstanding principal balance of the term loan debt under the facility and $627,000 and $1.7 million, respectively, in interest rate swap breakage fees. The Company has classified $48.3 million relating to Atlantic Aviations term loan debt in current portion of long-term debt in the consolidated condensed balance sheet at June 30, 2011, as it expects to repay this amount within one year.
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.
At June 30, 2011, the Company had $1.1 billion of current and long-term debt, $1.0 billion of which was economically hedged with interest rate swaps and $72.5 million of which was unhedged.
As discussed in Note 7, 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 Aviations derivative instruments was reclassified to interest expense in the consolidated condensed statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010. Atlantic Aviation will record additional reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense as the business continues to pay down its debt more quickly than anticipated.
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 lower interest expense for these businesses for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.
39
Effective February 25, 2009 for Atlantic Aviation and effective April 1, 2009 for the Companys 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 Companys 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 $24.5 million of net derivative losses, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of June 30, 2011 over the remaining life of the existing interest rate swaps, of which approximately $16.9 million will be reclassified over the next 12 months.
The Company measures derivative instruments at fair value using the income approach which discounts the future net cash settlements expected under the derivative contracts to a present value. These valuations utilize primarily observable (level 2) inputs, including contractual terms, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals.
The Companys fair value measurements of its derivative instruments and the related location of the liabilities associated with the hedging instruments within the consolidated condensed balance sheets at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows ($ in thousands):

All of the business segments are managed separately and management has chosen to organize the Company around the distinct products and services offered.
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. Finance lease revenue, recorded on the consolidated condensed statement of operations, is comprised of the interest portion of lease payments received from equipment leases with various
42
customers. The principal cash receipts on these equipment leases are recorded in the operating activities of the consolidated condensed statement of cash flows. 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.
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 63 airports and one heliport.
Selected information by segment is presented in the following tables. The tables do not include financial data for the Companys equity investment in IMTT.

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 Companys 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.
EBITDA excluding non-cash items for the Companys consolidated reportable segments is shown in the tables below ($ in thousands) (unaudited). Allocation of corporate expense, intercompany fees and the tax effects have been excluded as they are eliminated on consolidation.

In accordance with the Management Agreement, the Manager is entitled to a quarterly base management fee based primarily on the Companys market capitalization, and a performance fee, based on the performance of the Companys stock relative to a U.S. utilities index. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Manager did not earn a performance fee.
For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Company incurred base management fees of $7.8 million and $4.5 million, respectively. The unpaid portion of the fees at the end of each reporting period is included in due to manager-related party in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The Manager elected to reinvest the base management fee of $3.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 in additional LLC interests and the Company issued 136,079 LLC interests to the Manager during the first quarter of 2011. The Manager elected to reinvest the base management fee of $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2011 in additional LLC interests and the Company issued 144,742 LLC interests to the Manager during the second quarter of 2011. The base management fee for the second quarter of 2011 will be reinvested in additional LLC interests during the third quarter of 2011.
47
The Manager is not entitled to any other compensation and all costs incurred by the Manager, including compensation of seconded staff, are paid by the Manager out of its base management fee. However, the Company is responsible for other direct costs including, but not limited to, expenses incurred in the administration or management of the Company and its subsidiaries and investments, income taxes, audit and legal fees, acquisitions and dispositions and its compliance with applicable laws and regulations. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the Manager charged the Company $139,000 and $169,000, respectively, for reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. The unpaid portion of the out-of-pocket expenses at the end of the reporting period is included in due to manager-related party in the consolidated condensed balance sheet.
The Macquarie Group, and wholly-owned subsidiaries within the Macquarie Group, including Macquarie Bank Limited, or MBL, and Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc., or MCUSA, have provided various advisory and other services and incurred expenses in connection with the Companys equity raising activities, acquisitions and debt structuring for the Company and its businesses. Underwriting fees are recorded in members equity as a direct cost of equity offerings. Advisory fees and out-of-pocket expenses relating to acquisitions are expensed as incurred. Debt arranging fees are deferred and amortized over the term of the credit facility. No amounts were incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
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 during 2009 and no amounts were outstanding under the revolving credit facility at the facilitys maturity on March 31, 2010.
The Company has derivative instruments in place to fix the interest rate on certain outstanding variable-rate term loan facilities. MBL has provided interest rate swaps for The Gas Company. At June 30, 2011, The Gas Company had $160.0 million of its term loans hedged, of which MBL was providing the interest rate swaps for a notional amount of $48.0 million. The remainder of the swaps are from an unrelated third party. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, The Gas Company made payments to MBL of $1.1 million in relation to these swaps.
In September 2010, The Gas Company purchased casualty insurance coverage from insurance underwriters who pay commission to Macquarie Insurance Facility, or MIF, an indirect subsidiary of Macquarie Group Limited. The Gas Company does not make any payments directly to MIF.
During 2010, Atlantic Aviation entered into a copiers lease agreement with Macquarie Equipment Finance, or MEF, an indirect subsidiary of Macquarie Group Limited. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Atlantic Aviation incurred $11,000 in lease expense on these copiers. As of June 30, 2011, Atlantic Aviation had prepaid the July 2011 monthly payment to MEF for $2,000, which is included in prepaid expenses in the consolidated condensed balance sheet.
On March 30, 2009, The Gas Company entered into licensing agreements with Utility Service Partners, Inc. and Americas Water Heater Rentals, LLC, both indirect subsidiaries of Macquarie Group Limited, to enable these entities to offer products and services to The Gas Companys customer base. No payments were made under these arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
On August 29, 2008, Macquarie Global Opportunities Partners, or MGOP, a private equity fund managed by the Macquarie Group, completed the acquisition of the jet membership, retail charter and fuel management
48
business units previously owned by Sentient Jet Holdings, LLC. The new company is called Sentient Flight Group (referred to hereafter as Sentient). Sentient was an existing customer of Atlantic Aviation. For the six months ended June 30, 2011, Atlantic Aviation recorded $9.9 million in revenue from Sentient. As of June 30, 2011, Atlantic Aviation had $242,000 in receivables from Sentient, which is included in accounts receivable in the consolidated condensed balance sheets.
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.
The Company expects to incur federal consolidated taxable income for the year ending December 31, 2011, which will be fully offset by the Companys federal NOL carryforwards. The Company believes that it will be able to utilize the federal and certain state consolidated prior year NOLs. Accordingly, the Company has not provided a valuation allowance against any deferred tax assets generated in 2011. Two of the Companys businesses, IMTT and District Energy, are less than 80% owned by the Company, and those businesses file separate federal consolidated income tax returns.
In the first six months of 2010, the Company reduced the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets by approximately $2.6 million. This decrease was recorded as a benefit in the tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2010.
The Company and its subsidiaries file separate and combined state income tax returns. In January 2011, Illinois enacted the Taxpayer Accountability and Budget Stabilization Act. The legislation increases the corporate income tax rate to 7.0% from 4.8% for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2011 and prior to January 1, 2015; 5.25% for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2015 and prior to January 1, 2025; and 4.8% for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2025. The income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2011 includes a deferred income tax expense of approximately $147,000 to reflect the effects of the rate increase.
At December 31, 2010, the Company and its subsidiaries had a reserve of approximately $368,000 for benefits taken during 2010 and prior tax periods attributable to tax positions for which the probability of recognition is considered to be less than more likely than not. During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company recorded an increase of $134,000 in the reserve and does not expect a material change in the reserve during the six months ended December 31, 2011.
The subsidiaries of MIC Inc. are subject to legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In managements opinion, the Company has adequate legal defenses and/or insurance coverage with respect to these actions, and does not believe the outcome of any pending legal proceedings will be material to the Companys financial position or results of operations.
MIC has been unable to resolve the previously-disclosed dispute with the co-owner of IMTT regarding distributions, despite efforts to do so in accordance with the Shareholders Agreement. Accordingly, on April 18, 2011, MIC initiated formal arbitration proceedings with the Voting Trust of IMTT Holdings Inc. (Voting Trust) and IMTT Holdings Inc. under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association, as provided under the Shareholders Agreement. MIC believes the Voting Trusts defenses and claims in the arbitration are wholly without merit. MIC expects this process to be completed in the first quarter of 2012.
49
IMTT is named as a respondent because under the Shareholders Agreement it is responsible for any monetary damages resulting from a breach of the Shareholders Agreement by the Voting Trust. MIC is seeking payment of distributions due for the quarters ended December 31, 2010, March 31, 2011, June 30, 2011, an order covering future periods and other non-monetary relief that is designed to minimize the risk of future disputes. MIC has become concerned that, until the issues in the arbitration have been finally resolved, IMTTs senior management (which includes members and beneficiaries of the Voting Trust) may make operational decisions that are influenced by the context of the arbitration. MIC expects that this will be resolved through the arbitration.
Except noted above, there are no material legal proceedings other than as disclosed in Part I, Item 3 of the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2011.
On May 2, 2011, the board of directors declared a dividend of $0.20 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, which was paid on May 18, 2011 to holders of record on May 11, 2011. On August 1, 2011, the board of directors declared a dividend of $0.20 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2011, which will be paid on August 18, 2011 to holders of record on August 15, 2011.
The Company believes that dividends paid in 2011 are likely to be characterized in part as a dividend and in part as a return of capital for tax purposes. Shareholders would include in their taxable income that portion which is characterized as a dividend. The Company anticipates that any portion that is characterized as a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes will be eligible for treatment as qualified dividend income, subject to the shareholder having met the holding period requirements as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. Any portion that is characterized as a return of capital for tax purposes would not be includable in the shareholders taxable income but would reduce the shareholders basis in the shares on which the dividend was paid.
On July 13, 2011, Atlantic Aviation entered into an asset purchase agreement for FBOs at the Portland International and Eugene airports in Oregon. This acquisition will expand the business network into the Pacific Northwest and follows the successful sale of smaller FBOs during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011. The transaction reflects reinvestment of proceeds from these sales. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent in the purchase agreement, including consent of the relevant airport authorities, Atlantic Aviation expects to close the transaction in August.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2011, except that the information in the risk factor entitled Risks Related to IMTT We share ownership and voting control of IMTT with a third party. Our ability to exercise significant influence over the business or level of distributions from IMTT is limited, and we may be negatively impacted by disagreements with our co-investor regarding IMTT's business and operations has been updated by the disclosure under Item 1 Legal Proceedings in this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.
