CENTRAL PARKING CORPORATION and SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
UNAUDITED
(1) Basis of Presentation
     The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Central Parking Corporation (“Central Parking” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U. S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three months ended December 31, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2007. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2006 (included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K).
(2) Stock Based Compensation
          Effective October 1, 2005, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No.123R using the modified prospective method. Under this method, compensation costs in the first quarter of 2007 is based on the estimated fair value of the respective options and the proportion vesting in the period. Stock-based employee compensation expense is calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company utilizes both the single option and multiple option valuation approaches. Allocation of compensation expense is made using historical option terms for option grants made to the Company’s employees and historical Central Parking Corporation stock price volatility.
          There were no options granted during the quarter ended December 31, 2006. The estimated weighted average fair value of the options granted during fiscal 2006 was $4.35 using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions: weighted average dividend yield based on historic dividend rates at the date of the grant, weighted average volatility of 29% for fiscal year 2006, weighted average risk free interest based on the treasury bill rate of 10-year instruments at the date of grant, and a weighted average expected term of 4.5 years for 2006.
          The Company recognized $180 thousand and $111 thousand of stock based compensation expense in the quarter ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, there were approximately $0.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested options granted under the option plans. The Company used a 7.5% forfeiture to arrive at this expense. This cost is expected to be fully recognized by the end of Fiscal Year 2010. During the first three months ended December 31, 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised under our stock plan was $153,003 determined as of the date of option exercise.
Stock Plans
          In August 1995, the Board of Directors and shareholders approved a stock plan for key personnel, which included a stock option plan and a restricted stock plan. Under the plans, incentive stock options, as well as nonqualified options and other stock-based awards, may be granted to officers, employees and directors. A total of 7,317,500 common shares had been reserved for issuance under these two plans combined. Options representing 3,180,524 shares are outstanding under the stock option plan at December 31, 2006. Under this plan, options generally vest over a one- to four-year period and generally expire ten years after the date of grant. This plan expired in August 2005 and no new shares will be granted under the plan.
          In February 2006, shareholders approved a new 2006 plan and reserved 1,500,000 shares to be issued. The Company has issued 300,000 options under the new plan as of December 31, 2006. Options are expected to be granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value at the date of grant, generally vest over a one- to four-year period and generally expire ten years after the date of grant, similar to the 1995 plans.
          In August 1995, both the Board of Directors and shareholders approved a stock plan for directors. A total of 475,000 shares have been reserved for issuance under the plan. This plan expired in August 2005 and no new options will be granted under this plan. Options to purchase 77,500 shares are outstanding under this plan at December 31, 2006.

Restricted Stock
          As of December 31, 2006, the Restricted Stock Plan had issued 330,463 shares. Expense related to vesting of restricted stock is recognized by the Company over the vesting period of one year. This plan expired in August 2005 and no new shares will be granted under the plan. The new stock plan approved by shareholders in February 2006 is an omnibus plan under which restricted shares may be issued. The Company has granted 14,000 shares under this plan as of December 31, 2006.
          The Company measures compensation cost related to restricted shares using the quoted market price on the grant date. During the first three months of fiscal year ended 2007, the Company recognized compensation expense of $54 thousand related to restricted shares and expects to recognize $91 thousand during fiscal year 2007.
(3) Cash Flow Statement Revisions
     The Company has separately disclosed in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows the operating, investing and financing portions of the cash flows attributable to its discontinued operations, which prior periods were reported on a combined basis in a single amount.
(4) Earnings Per Share
     Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, or if restricted shares of common stock were to become fully vested.
     The subordinated convertible debentures have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation since such securities are anti-dilutive. Such securities were convertible into 1,419,588 shares of common stock on both December 31, 2006 and 2005. For the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, options to purchase 1,878,358 and 2,830,710 shares, respectively are excluded from the calculation of diluted common shares since they are anti-dilutive.
(5) Assets Held For Sale, Property-Related Gains, Net and Discontinued Operations
(a)   Assets Held For Sale
 
    In accordance with SFAS 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, long-lived assets that are classified as held for sale are presented separately in the asset section of the balance sheet. Assets classified as held for sale are comprised almost exclusively of real property and are included in the Segment-Other in the identifiable asset segment table included in note 12. During the quarter ended December 2006, a location in Dallas with a net book value of $3.5 million was reclassified from Assets Held for Sale because there is no current contract outstanding and the Company has no current prospective buyers able to complete negotiations within the ensuing twelve-month period.
 
(b)   Property-Related Gains (losses), Net
 
    The Company periodically disposes of or recognizes impairment related to owned properties, leasehold improvements, contract rights, lease rights and other long-term deferred expenses due to various factors, including economic considerations, unsolicited offers from third parties, loss of contracts and condemnation proceedings initiated by local government authorities. Leased and managed properties are also periodically evaluated and determinations may be made to sell or exit a lease obligation. A summary of property-related gains and losses for the three months ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 is as follows (in thousands):
                 
    Three months ended  
    December 31,  
    2006     2005  
Net gains on sale of property
  $ 594     $ 23,619  
Impairment charges for property, equipment and leasehold improvements
    (89 )     (697 )
Impairment charges for intangible assets
    (103 )     (8 )
 
           
Property-related gains, net
  $ 402     $ 22,914  
 
           
    Net property-related gains for the three months ended December 31, 2006 of $0.4 million was comprised of gains on sale of property of $0.6 million in Segment-Two; offset by $0.2 million of impairments of leasehold improvements, contract rights and other intangible assets primarily in Segment-Seven. In assessing impairment, management considered current operating results, the Company’s recent forecast for the next

Table of Contents

    fiscal year and required capital improvements, management determined that the projected cash flows for these locations would not be enough to recover the book value of the assets. The Company’s property-related gain for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was $22.9 million.
 
    In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the results of operations (including the gain or loss on sale and any recognized asset impairment) of long-lived assets which qualify as a component of an entity that either have been disposed of or are classified as held for sale shall be reported in discontinued operations if (i) the operations and cash flows of the component have been, or will be, eliminated from operations of the Company as a result of the disposal transaction and (ii) the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The net property-related gains noted above have been classified in continuing operations as the individual disposal transactions did not meet the SFAS No. 144 and EITF 03-13, Applying the Conditions in Paragraph 42 of FASB Statement No. 144 in Determining Whether to Report Discontinued Operations, criteria for classification as discontinued operations primarily due to the expected retention of certain cash flows from assets disposed or the Company’s continuing involvement as arising from contracts to manage the parking properties. If management’s assumptions regarding the timing and amount of such retained cash flows change in the future, the net property gain (loss) recognized in continuing operations, along with the results of operations related to such assets, may need to be reclassified to discontinued operations.
 
(c)   The Company has either disposed of, or designated as held-for-sale, certain locations which meet the aforementioned criteria for classification as discontinued operations. The components of discontinued operations reflected on the accompanying consolidated statements of income are as follows:

     For the three months ended December 31, 2006, the Company had either disposed of or designated as held-for-sale or disposal certain locations, resulting in a gain from discontinued operations of $0.8 million, net of tax. The gain was primarily related to revenues of $0.9 million less expenses of $0.7 million, which includes a recovery of bad debt in the amount of $0.7 million from the transport division in London. Property related gains of $0.7 million consists of a $0.5 million gain on the sale of the Company’s interest in its Polish subsidiary and a $0.2 million gain on the sale of properties. The Company’s prior period results were reclassified to reflect those locations classified as discontinued operations through December 31, 2006.
(6) Intangible Assets
     As of December 31, 2006, the Company had the following amortizable intangible assets (in thousands):
                         
    Gross              
    Carrying     Accumulated        
    Amount     Amortization     Net  
 
Contract and lease rights
  $ 128,919     $ 58,908     $ 70,011  
 
                 
     Amortization expense related to the contract and lease rights was $1.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2006, and $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005.
(7) Long-Term Debt
     The Company’s Credit Facility provides for aggregate availability of up to $300 million consisting of a $225 million revolving loan and a $75 million term loan. The Credit Facility requires term loan payments in the amount of $187,500 for the quarters

Table of Contents

ended March 2005 through March 2008 and $9.1 million for the quarters ended June 2008 through March 2010, with the remaining term loan balance due June 2010. The revolving loan is required to be repaid in February 2008. The facility is secured by the stock of certain subsidiaries of the Company, certain real estate assets, and domestic personal property assets of the Company and certain subsidiaries.
     The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a tier-based margin dependent upon certain financial ratios. There are separate pricing tiers for the revolving loan and term loan. The weighted average margin as of December 31, 2006 was 200 basis points. The amount outstanding under the Company’s Credit Facility was $73.5 million, all of which related to the term loan, with an overall weighted average interest rate of 3.9% at December 31, 2006. The aggregate availability under the Credit Facility was $171.4 million at December 31, 2006, which is net of $53.6 million of stand-by letters of credit. During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company repurchased a total of 4,859,674 shares for $75.3 million using the availability under the Credit Facility.
     The Company is required under the Credit Facility to enter into and maintain interest rate protection agreements designed to limit the Company’s exposure to increases in interest rates. On May 30, 2003, the Company entered into two interest rate swap transactions for a total notional value of $87.5 million. Both transactions swapped the Company’s floating LIBOR interest rates for fixed interest of 2.45% until June 30, 2007. The derivatives do not qualify as cash flow hedges.
     The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s Credit Facility at December 31, 2006 was 3.9%, which includes all outstanding LIBOR contracts and swap agreements at December 31, 2006.
(8) Derivative Financial Instruments
     The Company periodically enters into various types of derivative instruments to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. These instruments include interest rate swaps and caps. Under interest rate swaps, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating fixed-rate debt. Purchased interest rate cap agreements also protect the Company from increases in interest rates that would result in increased cash interest payments made under its Credit Facility. Under interest rate cap agreements, the Company has the right to receive cash if interest rates increase above a specified level.
     Because not all of the terms are consistent with those of the Credit Facility, the derivatives do not qualify as a cash flow hedge for accounting purposes. As such, any changes in the fair market value of these derivative instruments are included in the consolidated statement of operations.
     The Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement on the underlying $12.7 million loan in October 2005. This agreement limits the Company’s exposure to the floating interest rate by paying the Company for interest paid in excess of 5.50%.
     The Company has entered into certain foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the foreign exchange risk related to various intercompany notes receivable from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom. These forward contracts are expected to offset the transactional gains and losses on the intercompany notes denominated in British pounds. The gains and losses related to such contracts and the transactional gains and losses related to the intercompany notes recognized during fiscal 2006 and for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 were not significant. The notional amount of the open contracts at December 31, 2006 totaled approximately $20.9 million. The fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts at December 31, 2006 was a liability of $1.1 million.
(9) Commitments and Contingencies
     The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability with respect to those proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or liquidity of the Company, but could have a material effect on the results of operations in a given reporting period. Where the Company believes that a loss is both probable and estimable, such amounts have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. For other pending or threatened lawsuits, due to the early stage of the litigation, management has not yet concluded whether it is at least reasonably possible that the Company will incur a loss upon resolution.
     The Company has employment and severance agreements with certain employees which require payments by the Company upon the occurrence of certain events.

          In August of 2005, the Company made an offer to its shareholders to purchase up to 4,400,000 shares of common stock at a price no greater than $16.75 or lower than $14.50 per share. The transaction was structured as a modified Dutch Auction tender offer.
     The offer was amended to reduce the range from a price no higher than $16.00 and no lower than $14.00 per share. The transaction was concluded on October 14, 2005 at which time the Company accepted and purchased 4,400,000 shares at a price of $15.50 per share. The Company exercised its right to purchase an additional 459,674 shares without extending or modifying the offer. The Company repurchased a total of 4,859,674 shares for $75.3 million using the availability under the Credit Facility.
(12) Business Segments
     The Company’s business activities consist of domestic and foreign operations. Foreign operations are conducted in the United Kingdom, Canada, Spain, the Republic of Ireland, Puerto Rico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Greece, Poland, and Switzerland. Revenues attributable to foreign operations were less than 10% of consolidated revenues for the quarters ended December 31, 2006 and 2005. For the quarter ended December 31 2006, the United Kingdom and Canada account for 53.2% and 40.1% of total foreign revenues, respectively.
     The Company is managed based on segments administered by senior vice presidents.

Overview
     The Company is a leading provider of parking and related services. Central Parking operates parking facilities in 37 states, the District of Columbia, Canada, Puerto Rico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Spain, Greece, Italy and Switzerland. The Company also provides ancillary products and services, including parking consulting, shuttle, valet, on-street and parking meter enforcement, and billing and collection services. As of December 31, 2006, Central Parking operated 1,599 parking facilities through management contracts, leased 1,279 parking facilities, and owned 134 parking facilities, either independently or in joint ventures with third parties.
     Central Parking operates parking facilities under three general types of arrangements: management contracts, leases and fee ownership. Parking revenues consist of revenues from leased and owned facilities. Cost of parking relates to both leased and owned facilities and includes rent, payroll and related benefits, depreciation (if applicable), maintenance, insurance, and general operating expenses. Management contract revenues consist of management fees (both fixed and performance based) and fees for ancillary services such as insurance, accounting, equipment leasing, and consulting. The cost of management contracts includes insurance premiums, claims and other direct overhead.
     The Company believes that most commercial real estate developers and property owners view services such as parking as potential profit centers rather than cost centers. Many of these parties outsource parking operations to

Page 12 of 31


Table of Contents

parking management companies in an effort to maximize profits or leverage the original rental value to a third-party lender. Parking management companies can increase profits by using managerial skills and experience, operating systems, and operating controls unique to the parking industry.
     The Company’s strategy is to increase the number of profitable parking facilities it operates by focusing its marketing efforts on adding facilities at the local level and targeting real estate managers and developers with a national presence.
     The Company continues to view privatization of certain governmental operations and facilities as an opportunity for the parking industry. For example, privatization of on-street parking fee collection and enforcement in the United Kingdom has provided significant opportunities for private parking companies. In the United States, several cities have awarded on-street parking fee collection and enforcement and parking meter service contracts to for-profit parking companies such as Central Parking.
Critical Accounting Policies
          Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accounting estimates are an integral part of the preparation of the financial statements and the financial reporting process and are based upon current judgments. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Certain accounting policies and estimates are particularly sensitive because of their complexity and the possibility that future events affecting them may differ materially from the Company’s current judgments and estimates.
          The following listing of critical accounting policies is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the Company’s accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by U. S. generally accepted accounting principles, with no need for management’s judgment regarding accounting policy. The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2006, the following involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity:
          Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill
          As of December 31, 2006, the Company’s long-lived assets were comprised primarily of $300.8 million of property, equipment and leasehold improvements and $70.0 million of contract and lease rights. In accounting for the Company’s long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other intangible assets, the Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $232.1 million of goodwill. The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
          The determination and measurement of an impairment loss under these accounting standards require the significant use of judgment and estimates. The determination of fair value of these assets includes cash flow projections that assume certain future revenue and cost levels, assumed discount rates based upon current market conditions and other valuation factors, all of which involve the use of significant judgment and estimation. The Company recorded impairment loss of approximately $0.2 million in continuing operations during the quarter ended December 31, 2006. There were no impairments in discontinued operations. Future events may indicate differences from management’s judgments and estimates which could, in turn, result in increased impairment charges in the future. Future events that may result in increased impairment charges include changes in interest rates, which could impact discount rates, unfavorable economic conditions or other factors which could decrease revenues and profitability of existing locations, and changes in the cost structure of existing facilities. For the quarter ended December 31, 2005, the Company recorded $0.7 million of impairment charges related to long-lived assets in continuing operations and $0.1 million of impairment charges related to long-lived assets in discontinued operations.
          Contract and Lease Rights
          As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $70.0 million of contract and lease rights. The Company capitalizes payments made to third parties, which provide the Company the right to manage or lease facilities. Lease rights and management contract rights which are purchased individually are amortized on a straight-line

Page 13 of 31


Table of Contents

basis over the terms of the related agreements, which range from 5 to 30 years. Management contract rights acquired through acquisition of an entity are amortized as a group over the estimated term of the contracts, including anticipated renewals and terminations based on the Company’s historical experience (typically 15 years). If the renewal rate of contracts within an acquired group is less than initially estimated, accelerated amortization or impairment may be necessary.
          Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
          As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $68.4 million of trade receivables, including management accounts receivable and accounts receivable – other. Additionally, the Company had a recorded allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.7 million. The Company reports management accounts receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, to represent its estimate of the amount that ultimately will be realized in cash. The Company reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends, analyses of receivable portfolios by region and by source, aging of receivables, as well as review of specific accounts, and makes adjustments in the allowance as necessary. Changes in economic conditions, specifically in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States, could have an impact on the collection of existing receivable balances or future allowance considerations.
          Lease Termination Costs
          The Company recognizes lease termination costs related to disposal activities in accordance with SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. Lease termination costs are based upon certain estimates of liabilities related to costs to exit an activity. Liability estimates may change as a result of future events, such as the settlement of a lease termination for an amount less than the amount contractually required.
          Self-Insurance Liabilities
          The Company purchases comprehensive liability insurance covering certain claims that occur at parking facilities it owns, leases or manages. The primary amount of such coverage is $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate per facility. In addition, the Company purchases umbrella/excess liability coverage. The Company’s various liability insurance policies have deductibles of up to $350,000 that must be met before the insurance companies are required to reimburse the Company for costs incurred relating to covered claims. In addition, the Company’s worker’s compensation program has a deductible of $250,000. The Company also provides health insurance for many of its employees and purchases a stop-loss policy with a deductible of $150,000 per claim. As a result, the Company is, in effect, self-insured for all claims up to the deductible levels. The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, in determining the timing and amount of expense recognition associated with claims against the Company. The recognition of liabilities is based upon management’s determination of an unfavorable outcome of a claim being deemed as probable and reasonably estimable, as defined in SFAS No. 5. This determination requires the use of judgment in both the estimation of probability and the amount to be recognized as a liability. The Company engages an actuary to assist in determining the estimated liabilities for customer injury, employee medical costs and worker’s compensation claims. Management utilizes historical experience with similar claims along with input from legal counsel in determining the likelihood and extent of an unfavorable outcome for certain general litigation. Future events may indicate differences from these judgments and estimates and result in increased expense recognition in the future. Total discounted self-insurance liabilities at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $22.2 million and $24.3 million, respectively, reflecting a 4.5% discount rate. The related undiscounted amounts at such dates were $25.0 million and $28.8 million, respectively.
          Classification as Continuing or Discontinuing Operations
          In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, the results of operations (including the gain or loss on sale and any recognized asset impairment) of long-lived assets which qualify as a component of an entity that either have been disposed of or are classified as held for sale shall be reported in discontinued operations if (i) the operations and cash flows of the component have been, or will be, eliminated from operations of the Company as a result of the disposal transaction and (ii) the Company will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction. The net property-related gains noted above have been classified in continuing operations as the individual disposal transactions did not meet the SFAS No. 144 and EITF 03-13 criteria for classification as discontinued operations primarily due to the expected retention of certain cash flows from assets disposed or the Company’s continuing involvement as arising from contracts to manage the parking properties. If management’s assumptions regarding the timing and amount of such retained cash flows change in the future, the net property gain (loss) recognized in

Page 14 of 31


Table of Contents

continuing operations, along with the results of operations related to such assets, may need to be reclassified to discontinued operations.
          Income Taxes
          The Company uses the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company has certain net operating loss carry forwards which expire between 2007 and 2025. The valuation allowance was established for certain net operating loss carry forwards where their recoverability is deemed to be uncertain. The carrying value of the Company’s net deferred tax assets assumes that the Company will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions, based on estimates and assumptions. If these estimates and related assumptions change in the future, the Company will be required to adjust its deferred tax valuation allowances.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
     In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN No. 48”). FIN No. 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. This Interpretation is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have to its consolidated financial statements.
     In June 2006, the EITF reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-03, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation) (“EITF 06-03”). EITF 06-03 concludes that (a) the scope of this Issue includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is directly imposed on a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer and (b) that the presentation of taxes within the scope on either a gross or a net basis is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed under Opinion 22. Furthermore, for taxes reported on a gross basis, a company should disclose the amounts of those taxes in interim and annual financial statements for each period for which an income statement is presented. The consensus is effective, through retrospective application, for periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have to its consolidated financial statements.
          In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This Standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have to its consolidated financial statements.
          In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108), Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements. SAB 108 provides guidance regarding the consideration given to prior year misstatements when determining materiality in current financial statements, and is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have to its consolidated financial statements.
          In November 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 06-04, Accounting for Deferred Compensation and Postretirement Benefit Aspects of Endorsement Split of Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance Arrangements, (“EITF 06-04”). EITF 06-04 reached a consensus that for a split-dollar life insurance arrangement that provides a benefit to an employee that extends to postretirement periods, an employer should recognize a liability for future benefits in accordance with FAS No. 106 or Opinion 12 (depending upon whether a substantive plan is deemed to exist) based on the substantive agreement with the employee.

consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have to its consolidated financial statements.
          In November 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No.06-05, Accounting for Purchases of Life Insurance-Determining the Amount That Could Be Realized in Accordance with FASB Technical Bulletin No. 85-04, (“EITF 06-05”). EITF 06-05 reached a consensus that a policyholder should consider any additional amounts included in the contractual terms of the policy in determining the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. The Task Force agreed that contractual limitations should be considered when determining the realizable amounts. Those amounts that are recoverable by the policyholder at the discretion of the insurance company should be excluded from the amount that could be realized. The Task Force also agreed that fixed amounts that are recoverable by the policyholder in future periods in excess of one year from the surrender of the policy should be recognized at their present value. The Task Force also reached a consensus that a policyholder should determine the amount that could be realizable under the life insurance contract assuming the surrender of an individual-life by individual policy (or certificate by certificate in a group policy). The Task Force also noted that any amount that is ultimately realized by the policyholder upon the assumed surrender of the final policy (or final certificate in a group policy) shall be included in the amount that could be realized under the insurance contract. This consensus is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have to its consolidated financial statements.
          In September 2006, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. AUG AIR -01, Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities, (“FSP No. AUG AIR-01”). FSP AUG AIR-01 prohibits the use of the accrue-in-advance method of accounting for planned major maintenance activities in annual and interim financial reporting periods. An entity shall apply the same method of accounting for planned major maintenance activities in annual and interim financial reporting periods. The guidance in this FSP shall be applied to the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this FSP will have to its consolidated financial statements.
          In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 158, Employers’ Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132R. This Standard requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income of a business entity. This statement requires an employer that is a business entity and sponsors one or more single-employer defined benefit plans to (i) recognize the funded status of a benefit plan; (ii) recognize as a component of other comprehensive income, net of tax, the gains or losses and prior service costs or credits that arise during the period but are not recognized as components of net periodic benefit cost pursuant to FASB Statement No. 87, Employers’s Accounting for Pensions, or No. 106, Employers’ Accounting for Postretiremnet Benefits Other Than Pension; (iii) measure defined benefit plan assets and obligations as of the date of the employer’s fiscal year-end statement of financial position; and (iv) disclose in the notes to the financial statements additional information about certain effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation. SFAS 158 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006; except for the measurement date provisions, which shall be effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. The Company has not determined the impact, if any, that the adoption of this pronouncement will have to its consolidated financial statements.
Results of Operations
Unless otherwise indicated, the following discussion relates to continuing operations.
Three Months Ended December 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended December 31, 2005
     Parking revenues for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 decreased to $131.7 million from $132.1 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 0.4%. The decrease of $0.5 million is due to a decrease of $9.0 million due to closed locations and a decrease of $4.3 million related to contracts converted from leased to management deals; partially offset by an increase of $6.3 million in new locations and an increase of same store sales of $6.5 million.

Table of Contents

     Management contract revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 increased to $29.1 million from $27.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, an increase of $1.2 million or 4.4%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in other fees.
     Cost of parking for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased to $116.6 million from $120.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, a decrease of $4.0 million or 3.3%. The decrease was due primarily to $1.4 million decline in rent expense, $0.4 million in depreciation expense, $0.1 million decline in snow removal, $0.1 million decline in utilities, $0.1 million in payroll expense, $0.2 million in liability insurance expense and $1.7 million in other. Rent expense as a percentage of parking revenues decreased to 50.3% during the quarter ended December 31, 2006, from 51.2% in the quarter ended December 31, 2005. Payroll and benefit expenses as a percent of parking revenues were 18.8% of parking revenues for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006. Cost of parking as a percentage of parking revenues decreased to 88.6% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to 91.3% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
     Cost of management contracts for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 increased to $11.1 million from $10.8 million in the comparable period in 2006, an increase of $0.3 million or 2.5%. The increase was primarily caused by an increase of $0.7 million in liability insurance expense and an increase of $0.2 million in bad debt expense; offset by a decrease of $0.6 million in other insurance related costs. Cost of management contracts as a percentage of management contract revenue decreased to 38.0% for the first fiscal quarter of 2007 from 38.7% for the same period in 2006.
     General and administrative expenses decreased to $17.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 from $20.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, a decrease of $3.3 million or 15.7%. This decrease is due to a decrease of $3.0 million in professional fees, $0.3 million in depreciation expense, $0.1 million in travel and entertainment and $0.9 million in other expenses; offset by a $1.0 million increase in payroll expenses. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues (excluding reimbursement of management contract expenses) decreased to 11.0% for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 from 13.1% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006.
     Net property-related gains for the three months ended December 31, 2006 of $0.4 million was comprised of gains on sale of property of $0.6 million in Segment-Two; offset by $0.2 million of impairments of leasehold improvements, contract rights and other intangible assets primarily in Segment-Seven. In assessing impairment, management considered current operating results, the Company’s recent forecast for the fiscal year and required capital improvements. Management determined that the projected cash flows for these locations would not be enough to recover the book value of the assets. The Company’s property-related gain for the three months ended December 31, 2005 was $22.9 million.
     Interest expense decreased to $2.9 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to $3.9 million for first quarter of fiscal 2006, a decrease of $1.1 million or 27.1%. The increase was primarily attributed to a decrease in debt outstanding under the Credit Facility.
     The weighted average balance outstanding for the Company’s debt obligations and subordinated convertible debentures was $198.4 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2006, at a weighted average interest rate of 5.3% compared to a weighted average balance outstanding of $234.1 million at a weighted average rate of 5.2% during the quarter ended December 31, 2005. Amortization of deferred finance costs was included in the calculation of the weighted average interest rate.
     The Company recorded income tax expense on earnings from continuing operations of $4.2 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 as compared to $10.6 million for the first quarter of fiscal 2006, a change of $6.3 million. The effective tax rate on earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 was 33.4% compared to 39.2% for the first quarter of fiscal 2006. The lower effective tax rate in fiscal 2007 is due primarily to a decrease in 2007 of valuation allowances related to certain state and foreign tax loss carryforwards.
     For the three months ended December 31, 2006, the Company had either disposed of or designated as held-for-sale or disposal certain locations, resulting in a gain from discontinued operations of $0.8 million, net of tax. The gain was primarily related to revenues of $0.9 million less expenses of $0.7 million, which includes a recovery of bad debt in the amount of $0.7 million from the transport division in London. Property related gains of $0.7 million consists of a $0.5 million gain on the sale of the Company’s interest in its Polish subsidiary and a $0.2 million gain on the sale of properties. The Company’s prior period results were reclassified to reflect those

locations classified as discontinued operations through December 31, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
     Net cash used by operating activities for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $2.0 million, a decrease of $1.4 million from net cash used by operating activities of $3.4 million during the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. The primary factor which contributed to this change was the increase in revenue in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 and changes in working capital components.
          Net cash provided by investing activities for the first quarter fiscal year 2007 was $2.1 million compared to $36.9 million of net cash provided by investing activities in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. This change was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from sale of properties and purchase of property, equipment and leasehold improvements in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007.
          Net cash used by financing activities for the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 was $2.0 million compared to cash used of $25.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Net cash used by financing activities in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007 primarily consisted of capital leases obtained during the first quarter of fiscal year 2007.
     The Company’s Credit Facility provides for aggregate availability of up to $300 million consisting of a $225 million revolving loan and a $75 million term loan. The Credit Facility requires term loan payments in the amount of $187,500 for the quarters ended March 2005 through March 2008 and $9.1 million for the quarters ended June 2008 through March 2010, with the remaining term loan balance due June 2010. The revolving loan is required to be repaid in February 2008. The facility is secured by the stock of certain subsidiaries of the Company, certain real estate assets, and domestic personal property assets of the Company and certain subsidiaries.
     The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a tier-based margin dependent upon certain financial ratios. There are separate pricing tiers for the revolving loan and term loan. The weighted average margin as of December 31, 2006 was 200 basis points. The amount outstanding under the Company’s Credit Facility was $73.5 million, all of which related to the term loan, with an overall weighted average interest rate of 3.9% at December 31, 2006. The aggregate availability under the Credit Facility was $171.4 million at December 31, 2006, which is net of $53.6 million of stand-by letters of credit. During the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the Company repurchased a total of 4,859,674 shares for $75.3 million using the availability under the Credit Facility.
     The Company is required under the Credit Facility to enter into and maintain interest rate protection agreements designed to limit the Company’s exposure to increases in interest rates. On May 30, 2003, the Company entered into two interest rate swap transactions for a total notional value of $87.5 million. Both transactions swapped the Company’s floating LIBOR interest rates for fixed interest of 2.45% until June 30, 2007. The derivatives do not qualify as cash flow hedges.
     The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s Credit Facility at December 31, 2006 was 3.9%, which includes all outstanding LIBOR contracts and swap agreements at December 31, 2006.
     Future Cash Commitments
     The Company routinely makes capital expenditures to maintain or enhance parking facilities under its control. The Company expects capital expenditures for fiscal 2007 to be approximately $10 to $13 million, of which the Company has spent $5.4 million during the first three months of fiscal 2007, including $2.1 million acquired through capital leases.

Stock Repurchase
          In August of 2005, the Company made an offer to its shareholders to purchase up to 4,400,000 shares of common stock at a price no greater than $16.75 or lower than $14.50 per share. The transaction was structured as a modified Dutch Auction tender offer.
          The offer was amended to reduce the range from a price no higher than $16.00 and no lower than $14.00 per share. The transaction was concluded on October 14, 2005 at which time the Company accepted and purchased 4,400,000 shares at a price of $15.50 per share. The Company exercised its right to purchase an additional 459,674 shares without extending or modifying the offer. The Company repurchased a total of 4,859,674 shares for $75.3 million using the availability under the Credit Facility.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk
Interest Rates
     In March 2000, a limited liability company, of which the Company is the sole shareholder, purchased a parking structure for $19.6 million and financed $13.3 million of the purchase price with a five-year note bearing interest at one-month floating LIBOR plus 162.5 basis points. In April 2005, the limited liability company amended the note. The amendment extended the term to a maturity date of February 28, 2008. The amended $12.7 million loan will continue to bear interest at a floating basis based on LIBOR plus 162.5 basis points. The Company entered into an interest rate cap agreement on the underlying $12.7 million loan in October 2005. This agreement limits the Company’s exposure to the floating interest rate by paying the Company for interest paid in excess of 5.50%.
     The Company’s primary exposure to market risk consists of changes in interest rates on variable rate borrowings. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had $73.5 million of variable rate debt outstanding under the Credit Facility priced at LIBOR plus a weighted average margin of 200 basis points. The Credit Facility is payable in quarterly installments of $187,500 through March 2008 and quarterly payments of $9.1 million from June 2008 through March 2010. The Company anticipates paying the scheduled quarterly payments from operating cash flows through March 2008. The Company is evaluating options for the required payments for the period beginning June 2008.
     The Company is required under the Credit Facility to enter into and maintain interest rate protection agreements designed to limit the Company’s exposure to increases in interest rates. On May 30, 2003, the Company entered into two interest rate swap transactions for a combined notional amount of $87.5 million. Both transactions swapped the Company’s floating LIBOR interest rates for fixed interest of 2.45% until June 30, 2007.
     The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s Credit Facility at December 31, 2006 was 3.9%, which includes all outstanding LIBOR contracts and swap agreements at December 31, 2006. An increase (decrease) in LIBOR of 1% would not result in a significant increase (decrease) of annual interest expense since the swaps, which converted the rates to fixed, totaled $87.5 million and the Credit Facility, which was all floating interest, was $73.5 million at December 31, 2006.
Foreign Currency Exposure
     As of December 31, 2006, the Company has approximately GBP 2.4 million (USD $4.8 million) of cash and cash equivalents denominated in British pounds, EUR 2.3 million (USD $3.1 million) denominated in euros, CAD 3.2 million (USD $2.7 million) denominated in Canadian dollars, and USD $1.9 million denominated in various other foreign currencies.
     The Company also has EUR 1.6 million (USD $2.1 million) of notes payable denominated in euros and GBP 10.3 million (USD $20.2 million) of intercompany notes receivable and notes payable denominated in British pounds at December 31, 2006. These intercompany notes bear interest at a floating rate of 5.6% as of December

Page 19 of 31


Table of Contents

31, 2006, and require monthly principal and interest payments through 2012. The Company has entered into certain foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the foreign exchange risk related to various intercompany notes receivable from the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in the United Kingdom. These forward contracts are expected to offset the transactional gains and losses on the intercompany notes denominated in British pounds. The gains and losses related to such contracts and the transactional gains and losses related to the intercompany notes recognized during fiscal 2006 and the first quarter of fiscal 2007 were not significant. The notional amount of the open contracts at December 31, 2006 totaled approximately $20.9 million. The fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts at December 31, 2006 was a $1.1 million liability.
     Based on the Company’s overall currency rate exposure as of December 31, 2006, management does not believe a near-term change in currency rates, based on historical currency movements, would materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
     Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures effectively and timely provide them with material information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our first quarter ended December 31, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
     The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability with respect to those proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position or liquidity of the Company, but could have a material effect on the results of operations in a given reporting period. Where the Company believes that a loss is both probable and estimable, such amounts have been recorded in the consolidated financial statements. For other pending or threatened lawsuits, due to the early stage of the litigation management has not yet concluded whether it is at least reasonably possible that the Company will incur a loss upon resolution.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
          You should carefully consider the following specific risk factors as well as the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this report, as these are important factors, among others, that could cause our actual results to differ from our expected or historical results. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete statement of all of our potential risks or uncertainties.
          Our financial performance is sensitive to changes in economic conditions that may impact employment and consumer spending and commercial office occupancy.
          Economic slowdowns in the United States could adversely affect employment levels, consumer spending and commercial office occupancy, which, in turn, could reduce the demand for parking. The reduced demand for parking could negatively impact our revenues and net income. Future economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income, employment levels, business conditions, fuel and energy costs, interest rates, and tax rates, are also likely to adversely affect our business.
          Our concentration of operations in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, particularly in New York City, increases the risk of negative financial fluctuations due to events or factors that affect these areas.
          Our operations in the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, which includes the cities of New York, Newark, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Washington, D.C. generated approximately 43.4% of our total revenues from continuing operations (excluding reimbursement of management contract expenses) in first quarter of fiscal 2007. Revenues from our operations in New York City and surrounding areas accounted for approximately 26.3% of our total revenues from continuing operations (excluding reimbursement of management expenses) in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. The concentration of operations in these areas increases the risk that local or regional events or factors that affect these cities or regions such as severe winter weather, labor strikes, and changes in local or state laws and regulations, economic conditions or acts of terrorism, can have a disproportionate impact on our operating results and financial condition.

          Compliance with and any failure to comply with current regulatory requirements will result in additional expenses and may adversely affect us.
          Keeping abreast of, and in compliance with, changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and NYSE Stock Market rules, has required an increased amount of management attention. We remain committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and public disclosure. As a result, we intend to invest all reasonably necessary resources to comply with evolving standards, and this investment has resulted in, and we expect will continue to result in, increased general and administrative expenses and a diversion of management time and attention from revenue-generating activities to compliance activities.
          Changes in the insurance marketplace, including significantly higher premiums, higher deductibles and coverage restrictions and increased claims costs, have negatively impacted our net income in recent years and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition in the future.
          We purchase insurance covering certain types of claims that occur at parking facilities we own, lease or manage. In addition, we purchase worker’s compensation, group health, director’s and officer’s liability and certain other insurance coverages. Due to changes in the insurance marketplace, we have experienced in recent years a substantial increase in the premiums we pay for most types of insurance coverage and an increase in the deductibles relating to such coverage. We also have experienced an increase in certain claims costs, including worker’s compensation, liability and group health. In addition, coverages of certain types of risk, such as terrorism coverage, have been significantly restricted or are no longer available at a reasonable cost. The changes in the insurance marketplace, including increased premium and claims costs, higher deductibles and coverage restrictions, have negatively impacted our earnings in recent years and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition in the future.
          Acts of terrorism, such as the September 11, 2001 attacks, can have a significant adverse affect on our results of operations and financial condition.
          We estimate that the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 reduced our revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2001 by approximately $5 million and approximately $10 million in the first half of fiscal year 2002. Not only did the attack cause physical damage to some of the parking facilities operated by us, but the reduction in the number of commuters parking in the areas affected, reduction in tourists and local consumers traveling to the area as well as the broader reduction in airplane travel and lower attendance at sporting events, concerts and other venues, also impacted our operations adversely. The closing of streets in the vicinity of the World Trade Center and other areas of New York City and the imposition of certain restrictions on traffic and other security measures in New York City and at the nation’s airports also had a negative impact on our operations. Our operations are concentrated heavily in the downtown areas of major U.S. cities and some are located near landmarks or other sites that have been mentioned as potential targets of terrorists. In addition, we manage the parking operations at approximately 30 airports. Additional terrorist attacks or the imposition of additional security measures, particularly in New York, Washington, D.C. or other major cities in which we have a significant presence, or at airports, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
          The offer or sale of a substantial amount of our common stock by significant shareholders could have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock.
          In February 2001, we filed a registration statement on Form S-3 covering 7,381,618 shares of our common stock held by certain shareholders. These shares were registered pursuant to registration rights previously granted to these shareholders. Although we believe a significant portion of these shares has been sold, these shareholders may sell any remaining shares that were registered on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded, or in private transactions. Other substantial shareholders, including the Executive Chairman of Central Parking, Monroe Carell, Jr., the Carell Children’s Trust, and other family members and related entities (the “Carell Family”), are permitted to sell significant amounts of our common stock under Rule 144 and other exemptions from registration under the federal securities laws. In addition, the Carell Family has certain rights to register substantially all of the shares held by the family and related entities. The offer or sale of substantial amounts of our common stock by these or other significant shareholders, particularly if such offers or sales occur simultaneously or relatively close in time, could have a significant negative impact on our stock’s market price.
          We are dependent on the continued availability of capital to support our business.
          We have significant working capital requirements, including but not limited to, repair and maintenance obligations for our parking facilities. We are dependant on the cash generated from our operations and Credit Facility to meet our working capital requirements. The Credit Facility contains covenants including those that

Page 22 of 31


Table of Contents

require us to maintain certain financial ratios, restrict further indebtedness and certain acquisition activity and limit the amount of dividends paid. The primary ratios are a leverage ratio, senior leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. Quarterly compliance is calculated using a four-quarter rolling methodology and measured against certain targets. Our inability to meet debt covenants and debt service payments under the Credit Facility would have a material adverse effect on us.
          We are subject to interest rate risk.
          We are subject to market risk from exposure to changes in interest rates based upon our financing, investing and cash management activities. The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a tier-based margin dependent upon certain financial ratios. There are separate tiers for the revolving loan and term loan. The weighted average margin as of December 31, 2006, was 200 basis points. The amount outstanding under our Credit Facility was $73.5 million with a weighted average interest rate of 3.9% as of December 31, 2006. We have reduced a portion of our interest rate risk by executing two interest rate swap transactions whereby we have fixed $87.5 million of floating rate debt. The term loan is required to be repaid in quarterly payments of $0.2 million through March 2008 and quarterly payments of $9.1 million from June 2008 through March 2010. An increase (decrease) in LIBOR of 1% would result in no increase (decrease) of annual interest expense since the swaps, which converted the rates to fixed, totaled $87.5 million and the Credit Facility, which was all floating interest, was $73.5 million on December 31, 2006. We expect to pay both quarterly principal amortization and monthly interest payments out of operating cash flow.
          Our large number of leased and owned facilities increases the risk that we may become unprofitable and that we may not be able to cover the fixed costs of our leased and owned facilities.
          We leased or owned 1,413 facilities as of December 31, 2006. Although there is more potential for income from leased and owned facilities than from management contracts, they also carry more risk if there is a downturn in the economy, property performance or commercial real estate occupancy rates because a significant part of the costs to operate such facilities typically is fixed. For example, in the case of leases, there are typically minimum lease payments that must be made regardless of the revenues or profitability of the facility. In particular, it is difficult to forecast revenues of newly constructed parking facilities because these facilities do not have an operating history. Start-up costs, the length of the break–in period during which parking demand is built and economic conditions at the time the facility is opened, are very difficult to predict at the time the lease is executed (and the base rent is agreed upon), which is often two or more years prior to the opening of the facility.
          In the case of owned facilities, there are the normal risks of ownership and costs of capital. In addition, operating expenses for both leased and owned facilities are borne by us and are not passed through to the owner, as is the case with management contracts. In the case of owned facilities and generally in the case of longer-term leased facilities, we also are responsible for property taxes and all maintenance and repair costs, including structural, mechanical and systems repairs. Performance of our parking facilities depends, in part, on our ability to negotiate favorable contract terms and control operating expenses, economic conditions prevailing generally and in areas where parking facilities are located, the nature and extent of competitive parking facilities in the area, weather conditions and the real estate market.
          An increase in government regulation or taxation could have a negative effect on our profitability.
          Our business is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws and regulations, and in some cases, municipal and state authorities directly regulate parking facilities. In addition, many cities impose a substantial tax or surcharge on parking services, which generally range from 10% to 50%. Substantial increases in the tax or surcharge on parking such as occurred in recent years in Pittsburgh and Miami can have a significant negative effect on profitability in a given city. The profitability of our business is also affected by increases in property taxes because the Company is responsible for paying property taxes on its owned properties and on many of its leased facilities. Several state and local laws have been passed in recent years that are designed to encourage car-pooling or the use of mass transit or impose certain restrictions on automobile usage. An example is the restrictions imposed by the City of New York in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, which included street closures and a requirement for passenger cars entering certain bridges and tunnels to have more than one occupant during the morning rush hour. We also are subject to federal, state and local employment and labor laws and regulations, and several cities in which we have operations either have adopted or are considering the adoption of so-called “living wage” ordinances. The adoption of such laws and regulations, the imposition of additional parking taxes or surcharges and increases in property and other taxes could adversely impact our profitability.

     The sureties for our performance bond program may increase rates and require additional collateral to issue or renew performance bonds in support of certain contracts.
     Under substantially all of our contracts with municipalities and government entities and airports, we are required to provide a performance bond to support our obligations under the contract. We are also required to provide performance bonds under certain leases and other contracts with non-governmental entities. In recent years, the sureties for our performance bond program increased the rates we pay on these bonds and required us to collateralize a greater percentage of our performance bonds with letters of credit. Although we believe our performance bond program is adequate for its present needs, if we are unable to provide sufficient collateral in the future, our sureties may not issue or renew performance bonds to support our obligations under certain contracts.
     As is customary in the industry, a surety provider can refuse to provide a bond principal with new or renewal surety bonds. If any existing or future surety provider refuses to provide us with surety bonds, there can be no assurance that we would be able to find alternate providers on acceptable terms, or at all. Our inability to provide surety bonds could result in the loss of existing contracts or future business, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
     Our net income could be adversely affected if accruals for future insurance losses are not adequate.
     We provide liability, medical and worker’s compensation insurance coverage. We are obligated to pay for each loss incurred up to the amount of a deductible specified in our insurance policies. Our financial statements reflect our anticipated costs based upon loss experience and guidance and evaluation we have received from third party insurance professionals, such as actuaries. There can be no assurance, however, that the ultimate amount of such costs will not exceed the amounts presently accrued, in which case we would need to increase accruals and pay additional expenses.
     The operation of our business is dependent on key personnel.
     Our success is, and will continue to be, substantially dependent upon the continued services of our management team. The loss of the services of one or more of the members of our senior management team could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and the results of operations. Although we have entered into employment agreements with, and historically have been successful in retaining the services of our senior management, there can be no assurance that we will be able to retain these senior management people in the future. In addition, our future growth depends on our ability to attract and retain skilled operating managers and employees.
     We have foreign operations that may be adversely affected by foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
     We operate in the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland and other countries. For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, revenues from foreign operations represented 6.3% of our total revenues, excluding reimbursement of management contract expenses. Our United Kingdom operations accounted for 53.2% of total revenues from foreign operations, excluding reimbursement of management contract expense and excluding earnings from joint ventures. We receive revenues and incur expenses in various foreign currencies in connection with our foreign operations and, as a result, we are subject to currency exchange rate fluctuations. We intend to continue to invest in certain foreign leased or owned parking facilities, either independently or through joint ventures, where appropriate, and may become increasingly exposed to foreign currency fluctuations. We believe we currently have limited exposure to foreign currency risk. We have entered into certain foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the foreign exchange risk related to certain intercompany notes we have with our subsidiary in the United Kingdom. See note 1 to our consolidated financial statements.
     In connection with ownership or operation of parking facilities, we may be liable for environmental problems.
     Under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances on, under, or in such property. Such laws typically impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. There can be no assurance that a material environmental claim will not be asserted against us or against our owned or operated parking facilities. The cost of defending against claims of liability, or of remediating a contaminated property, could have a negative effect on our business and financial results.
     If we cannot maintain positive relationships with labor unions representing our employees, a work stoppage may adversely affect our business.
     Approximately 3,907 employees are represented by labor unions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to renew existing labor union contracts on acceptable terms. Employees could exercise their rights under these labor union contracts, which could include a strike or walk-out. In such cases, there are no assurances that

we would be able to staff sufficient employees for its short-term needs. Any such labor strike or our inability to negotiate a satisfactory contract upon expiration of the current agreements could have a negative effect on our business and financial results.
