The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of APCOA/Standard Parking, Inc. ("APCOA/Standard" or the "Company") have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information 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 notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of adjustments of a normal and recurring nature) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations have been included. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending December 31, 2002. The financial statements presented in this Report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in APCOA/Standard's 2001 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 29, 2002.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2001 financial information to conform to the 2002 presentation.
2. Special Charges
Included in "Special Charges" in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations are the following:

Cost associated with registration | $ | 676 | $ | | |||
Incremental integration costs and other | 1,078 | 464 | |||||
Total special charges | $ | 1,754 | $ | 464 | |||
The costs associated with registration for the period ended September 30, 2002, relate to professional fees incurred to register the 14% senior subordinated second lien notes. The costs associated with incremental integration costs and other include $0.5 million for legal costs on terminated contracts, $0.3 million for costs incurred for the debt reorganization and professional fees of the parent company, $0.2 million for COBRA insurance costs of a prior subsidiary of the former parent company in accordance with ERISA requirements and $0.1 million for prior period rent and other adjustments. Special charges for the period ending September 30, 2001 relate primarily to $0.2 million in prior period retroactive insurance premium increases, $0.1 million in severance costs, and $0.2 million in prior period outside consultant costs.
3. Exchange Offer
On January 11, 2002, APCOA/Standard completed an unregistered exchange and recapitalization of a portion of its 91/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008. APCOA/Standard received gross cash
6
proceeds of $20.0 million and retired $91.1 million of its outstanding 91/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008. In exchange, APCOA/Standard issued $59.3 million of 14% Senior Subordinated Second Lien Notes due 2006 and 3,500 shares of 18% Senior Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, with a face value of $35.0 million which is mandatorily redeemable on June 15, 2008. In conjunction with the exchange, the Company repaid $9.5 million of indebtedness under the Senior Credit Facility, paid $2.7 million in accrued interest relating to the $91.1 million of the 91/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 that were tendered, $9.7 million (including $1.3 million capitalized as debt issuance costs related to the amended and restated senior credit facility) in fees and expenses related to the exchange, which included a $3.0 million transaction advisory fee to AP Holdings, Inc. ("AP Holdings"), APCOA/Standard's parent company, and a repurchase of $1.5 million of redeemable preferred stock held by AP Holdings. The fees and expenses of $9.7 million related to the exchange and the amended and restated senior credit facility were provided for in the period ended December 31, 2001. The company repurchased $0.1 million of redeemable preferred stock held by AP Holdings on February 20, 2002 and $0.9 million on June 17, 2002.
This exchange offer and recapitalization was accounted for as a "modification of terms" type of troubled debt restructuring as prescribed by FASB Statement No. 15, Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings ("FAS 15"). Under FAS 15, an effective reduction in principal or accrued interest does not result in the debtor recording a gain as long as the future contractual payments (principal and interest combined) under the restructured debt are more than the carrying amount of the debt before the restructuring. In those circumstances, the carrying amount of the original debt is not adjusted and the effects of any changes are reflected in future periods as a reduction in interest expense. That is, a constant effective interest rate is applied to the carrying amount of the debt between restructuring and maturity. The effective interest rate is the discount rate that equates the present value of the future cash payments specified by the new terms with the unadjusted carrying amount of the debt.
In addition, under FAS 15, when a debtor issues a redeemable equity interest in partial satisfaction of debt in conjunction with a modification of terms, the debtor recognizes no gain and the equity is recorded at its estimated fair value. Legal fees and other direct costs incurred by a debtor to effect a troubled debt restructuring are expensed as incurred, except for amounts incurred directly in granting an equity interest, if any.
The accounting for this exchange under FAS 15 was as follows:
On April 10, 2002, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-4 (SEC file no. 333-86008) to offer to exchange up to $59,295,000 in aggregate principal amount of its registered 14% Senior Subordinated Notes (including unregistered notes paid as interest on unregistered notes). The registration statement, which was amended on May 24, 2002, June 17, 2002 and June 26, 2002, was declared effective by the Commission on June 28, 2002. The prospectus was supplemented on July 8, 2002 to increase the maximum amount of notes subject to the exchange to $60,298,900, thereby
7
covering the notes issued as interest paid on June 15, 2002. In connection with the exchange offer, which expired on August 9, 2002, all outstanding unregistered 14% Notes were exchanged for registered 14% Notes with substantially identical terms effective August 16, 2002.
4. Credit Facility
The Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement as of January 11, 2002 with the LaSalle Bank National Association ("LaSalle") and Bank One, N.A., ("Bank One") (the lenders under its prior senior credit facility) that restructured its prior $40.0 million senior credit facility into a new senior credit facility. The new facility consists of a $25.0 million revolving credit facility provided by LaSalle, which will expire on March 10, 2004, and a $15.0 million term loan held by Bank One amortizing with $5.0 million due on December 31, 2002 and the remainder due on March 10, 2004. APCOA/Standard utilizes the revolving new facility to provide readily accessible cash for working capital purposes and general corporate purposes and to provide standby letters of credit. The revolving new facility provides for cash borrowings up to the lesser of $25.0 million or 80% of its eligible accounts receivable (as defined therein) and includes a letter of credit facility with a sublimit of $8.0 million (or such greater amount as LaSalle may agree to for letters of credit). The revolving new facility bears interest based, at the Company's option, either on LIBOR plus 3.75% or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined below) plus 1.50%. The Company may elect interest periods of 1, 2, or 3 months for LIBOR-based borrowings. The Alternate Base Rate is the higher of (i) the rate publicly announced from time to time by LaSalle as its "prime rate" and (ii) the overnight federal funds rates plus 0.50%. LIBOR will at all times be determined by taking into account maximum statutory reserves required (if any). The interest rate applicable to the term loan is a fixed rate of 13.0%, of which cash interest at 9.5% will be payable monthly in arrears and 3.5% will accrue without compounding and be payable on March 10, 2004 or earlier maturity, whether pursuant to any permitted prepayment acceleration or otherwise. The new senior credit facility includes covenants that limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock or pay dividends and will contain certain other restrictions on its activities. It is secured by substantially all of its existing and future domestic subsidiaries' existing and after-acquired assets (including 100% of the stock of its existing and future domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of its existing and future foreign subsidiaries), by a first priority pledge of all of the common stock of the Company owned by AP Holdings and by all other existing and after-acquired property of the parent company. The senior credit facility was amended effective as of June 17, 2002 and June 30, 2002. At September 30, 2002, the Company had $4.8 million of letters of credit outstanding under the new facility and borrowings against the new facility aggregated $28.5 million.

7. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.
On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141 and 142. SFAS No. 141 requires that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 and also includes guidance on the initial recognition and measurement of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in a business combination. The initial adoption of SFAS No. 141 did not affect the Company's results of operations or its financial position.
The adoption of SFAS No. 142 eliminates the amortization of goodwill beginning January 1, 2002, and instead requires that the goodwill be tested for impairment. Transitional impairment tests of goodwill made during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 did not require adjustment to the carrying value of its goodwill. As of September 30, 2002, the Company's definite lived intangible assets of $2,958 net of accumulated amortization of $3,099, primarily consisting of non-compete agreements, continue to be amortized over their useful lives.
13
Amortization expense for intangible assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $429. Estimated amortization expense for the remainder of 2002 and the five succeeding fiscal years is as follows:
|
Estimated Amortization Expense |
||
---|---|---|---|
2002 (remainder) | $ | 158 | |
2003 | 587 | ||
2004 | 587 | ||
2005 | 570 | ||
2006 | 516 | ||
2007 | 516 |
Actual results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and the pro forma results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 had we applied the non-amortization provisions of SFAS 142 in the prior period are as follows:

In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, which supersedes both SFAS No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of and the accounting and reporting provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, Reporting the Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions ("Opinion 30"), for the disposal of a segment of a business (as previously defined in that Opinion). SFAS No. 144 retains the fundamental provisions in SFAS No. 121 for recognizing and measuring impairment losses on long-lived assets held for use and long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, while also resolving significant implementation issues associated with SFAS No. 121. For example, SFAS No. 144 provides guidance on how a long-lived asset that is used as part of a group should be evaluated for impairment, establishes criteria for when a long-lived asset is held for sale, and prescribes the accounting for a long-lived asset that will be disposed of other than by sale. SFAS No. 144 retains the basic provisions of Opinion 30 on how to present discontinued operations in the income statement but broadens that presentation to include a component of an entity (rather than a segment of a business). Unlike SFAS No. 121, SFAS No. 144 does not provide guidance on impairment of goodwill. Rather, goodwill is evaluated for impairment under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The Company adopted SFAS No. 144 on January 1, 2002, and there was no impact to the results of operations or its financial position upon adoption.
14
During the second quarter ended June 30, 2002, the Company became subject to and adopted a new accounting standard (EITF 01-14), which requires the recognition of both revenues and expenses in equal amounts for costs directly reimbursed from its management clients. This accounting change has no impact on operating earnings or net earnings. Historically, expenses directly reimbursed under management agreements have been netted against the reimbursement received. As required by this new accounting standard, these items have been reclassified in all prior periods to conform to the new presentation. For the three month period ended September 30, 2002, the impact is an increase of $101.9 million in both revenue and expenses, as compared to $96.4 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2001. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, the impact is an increase of $277.4 million in both revenue and expenses, as compared to $270.8 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2001.
In August 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.146 (SFAS 146), "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS 146 nullifies the guidance of the Emerging Issues task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3, Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost that is associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for the initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of SFAS 146 are required for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. At this time we do not believe the adoption of SFAS 146 will have a material impact on our financial statements.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
APCOA/Standard Parking, Inc. ("APCOA/Standard" or the "Company") operates in a single reportable segment, operating parking facilities under two types of arrangements: management contracts and leases. Under a management contract, APCOA/Standard typically receives a base monthly fee for managing the property and may also receive a small incentive bonus based on the achievement of facility revenues above a base amount among other factors. In some instances, APCOA/Standard also receives certain fees for ancillary services. Under lease arrangements, APCOA/Standard generally pays to the property owner either a fixed annual rental, a percentage of gross customer collections or a combination thereof. APCOA/Standard collects all revenues under lease arrangements and is responsible for most operating expenses, but it is typically not responsible for major maintenance or capital expenditures. As of September 30, 2002, APCOA/Standard operated approximately 84% of its 1,907 parking facilities under management contracts and approximately 16% under leases.
Parking services revenuelease contracts. Parking services revenue related to lease contracts consists of all revenues received at a leased facility, including development fees, gains on sales of contracts and payments for exercising termination rights.
Parking services revenuemanagement contracts. Management contract revenue consists of management fees, including both fixed and revenue-based fees, and fees related to ancillary services such as accounting, equipment leasing, payments received for exercising termination rights, consulting, insurance and other value-added services provided with respect to managed locations. Management
15
contract revenue excludes gross customer collections at such locations. Management contracts generally provide APCOA/Standard a management fee regardless of the operating performance of the underlying facility.
Reimbursement of management contract expenses. Reimbursement of management contract expenses consists of the direct reimbursement from the property owner for operating expenses incurred under a management contract.
Cost of parking serviceslease contracts. The cost of parking services under a lease arrangement consists of contractual rental fees paid to the facility owner and all operating expenses incurred in connection with operating the leased facility. Contractual fees paid to the facility owner are based on either a fixed contractual amount or a percentage of gross revenue, or a combination thereof. Generally, under a lease arrangement, APCOA/Standard is not responsible for major capital expenditures or property taxes.
Cost of parking servicesmanagement contracts. The cost of parking services under a management contract is generally passed through to the facility owner. As a result, these costs are included in reimbursed management contract expense. Several APCOA/Standard contracts, which are referred to as reverse management contracts, however, require APCOA/Standard to pay for certain costs that are offset by larger management fees.
Reimbursed management contract expense. Reimbursed management contract expense consists of the costs incurred on behalf of the property owner for operating expenses that are directly reimbursed under a management contract.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses include salaries, wages, travel and office-related expenses for the headquarters, field offices and supervisory employees.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 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.
This 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, with no need for management's judgment regarding accounting policy. The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies, as discussed in Note A of the consolidated financial statements included
16
in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity:
Long-Lived AssetsThe Company accounts for impairment of long-lived assets, which includes goodwill, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of." This Statement requires that long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell.
When indicators of impairment are present, the Company periodically reviews the carrying value of long-lived assets, including goodwill, contract and lease rights, and non-compete agreements, to determine if the net book values of such assets continue to be recoverable over the remainder of the original estimated useful life. In performing this review for recoverability, the Company estimates the future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventful disposition. If the sum of the expected net future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized based on the estimated diminution of value. If the assets involved are to be held and used in the operations of the Company, consideration is also given to actions or remediation the Company might take in order to achieve the original estimates of cash flows.
Leaseholds and EquipmentLeaseholds, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Leaseholds (cost of parking contracts) are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average contract life of 10 years. Equipment is depreciated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of approximately 5 years on average. Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases or the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter (average of approximately 7 years). If the renewal rate of contracts is less than initially estimated, accelerated amortization or impairment may be necessary.
Summary of Operating Facilities
The following table reflects the Company's facilities at the end of the periods indicated:
|
September 30, 2002 |
December 31, 2001 |
September 30, 2001 |
||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Managed facilities | 1,595 | 1,612 | 1,594 | ||||
Leased facilities | 312 | 328 | 341 | ||||
Total facilities | 1,907 | 1,940 | 1,935 | ||||
The Company's strategy is to add locations in core cities where a concentration of locations improves customer service levels and operating margins.
17
Results of Operations
In analyzing the gross margins of APCOA/Standard, it should be noted that the cost of parking services for parking facilities under management contracts incurred in connection with the provision of management services is generally paid by its clients. Several management contracts, however, which are referred to as reverse management contracts, require the Company to pay for certain costs that are offset by larger management fees. Margins for lease contracts vary significantly not only due to operating performance, but also variability in parking rates in different cities and varying space utilization by parking facility type and location.
The attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001 ("September 11th") had an immediate effect on the Company's business at all of the airport locations and, to a lesser extent, at isolated urban facilities near governmental institutions. Although business at airports had been declining before the September 11th attacks, an immediate significant decrease in airport revenues occurred following those events, compared to the same period of 2000. Parking revenue at airports we operated in September 2002 increased 35.6% compared to September 2001 and decreased 3.7% compared to September 2000. While we believe that existing regulations may be relaxed in the future, there remain in place several stringent security measures that prohibit parking within a certain distance of the terminal, which continues to impact utilization of parking spaces. The airport parking transportation market represented approximately 21% of the Company's 2001 annual gross profit.
The following should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Three Months ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months ended September 30, 2001
Parking services revenuelease contracts. Lease contract revenue decreased $1.0 million, or 2.6%, to $36.5 million in the third quarter of 2002, compared to $37.5 million in the third quarter of 2001. This decrease resulted from the net reduction of 16 leases through contract expirations and the downturn in general economic conditions.
Parking services revenuemanagement contracts. Management contract revenue decreased $2.8 million, or 13.4%, to $18.5 million in the third quarter of 2002, compared to $21.3 million in the third quarter of 2001. This decrease resulted from the net reduction of 17 management contracts and the negative economic impact on our reverse management contracts, which was partially offset by the positive impact of the conversion to a capital lease program for our vehicles.
Reimbursement of management contract expenses. Reimbursement of management contract expenses increased $5.5 million to $101.9 million for the third quarter of 2002, compared to $96.4 million for the third quarter of 2001. The increase resulted from additional reimbursements for costs incurred on the behalf of owners.
Cost of parking serviceslease contracts. Cost of parking services for lease contracts decreased $0.1 million, or 0.2%, to $33.7 million for the third quarter of 2002, compared to $33.8 million in the third quarter of 2001. This decrease resulted primarily from the net reduction of 16 leases through terminations and contract expirations. Gross margin for lease contracts decreased to 7.5% for the third quarter of 2002 compared to 9.7% for the third quarter of 2001. This decrease in gross margin resulted from the negative economic impact on operating expenses and revenues, which was partially offset by the positive impact of the conversion to a capital lease program for our vehicles.
18
Cost of parking servicesmanagement contracts. Cost of parking services for management contracts decreased $4.9 million, or 41.1%, to $6.9 million for the third quarter of 2002, compared to $11.8 million in the third quarter of 2001. This decrease resulted primarily from the net reduction of 17 management contracts. Gross margin for management contracts improved to 62.4% in the third quarter of 2002 compared to 44.7% for the third quarter of 2001. Most management contracts have no cost of parking services related to them, as all costs are reimbursable to the Company. However, several contracts, which are referred to as reverse management contracts, require the Company to pay for certain costs that are offset by larger management fees. The increase in gross margin percent for management contracts was related to the reduction in costs of operations, conversion to a capital lease program for our vehicles and the termination of several unprofitable contracts.
Reimbursed management contract expense. Reimbursed management contract expense increased $5.5 million to $101.9 million for the third quarter of 2002, compared to $96.4 million for the third quarter of 2001. The increase resulted from additional costs incurred on the behalf of owners.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million, or 19.5%, to $7.4 million for the third quarter of 2002, as compared to $6.2 million for the third quarter of 2001. This increase resulted from a favorable year to date accrual adjustment in 2001 for approximately $0.8 million that did not occur in 2002.
Special charges. The Company recorded $0.3 million of special charges in the third quarter of 2002, as compared to $0.5 million in the third quarter of 2001. The 2002 special charges relate primarily to legal costs incurred for the registration of the 14% senior subordinated second lien notes and costs related to terminated contracts.
Management feeparent company. The Company recorded $0.8 million of management fee expense in the third quarter of 2002, to our parent company, AP Holdings, pursuant to the Company's management agreement with AP Holdings. The actual payment of the management fee may be limited by the terms and conditions as set forth in the senior credit facility. There was no management fee in the third quarter of 2001.
Nine Months ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Nine Months ended September 30, 2001
Parking services revenuelease contracts. Lease contract revenue decreased $12.4 million, or 10.2%, to $108.2 million in the first nine months of 2002, compared to $120.6 million in the first nine months of 2001. This decrease resulted from the net reduction of 29 leases through contract expirations and the downturn in general economic conditions.
Parking services revenuemanagement contracts. Management contract revenue decreased $3.7 million, or 6.0%, to $58.7 million in the first nine months of 2002, compared to $62.5 million in the first nine months of 2001. This decrease resulted from the net addition of 1 management contract through internal growth and the positive impact of the conversion to a capital lease program for our vehicles, which was more than offset by the negative economic impact on our reverse management contracts.
Reimbursement of management contract expenses. Reimbursement of management contract expenses increased $6.6 million to $277.4 million for the first nine months of 2002, compared to
19
$270.8 million for the first nine months of 2001. The increase resulted from additional reimbursements for costs incurred on the behalf of owners.
Cost of parking serviceslease contracts. Cost of parking services for lease contracts decreased $10.6 million, or 9.7%, to $98.2 million for the first nine months of 2002, compared to $108.8 million in the first nine months of 2001. This decrease resulted primarily from the net reduction of 29 leases through terminations and contract expirations. Gross margin for lease contracts decreased to 9.2% for the first nine months of 2002 compared to 9.8% for the first nine months of 2001. This decrease in gross margin resulted from the negative economic impact on operating expenses and revenues, which was partially offset by the positive impact of the conversion to a capital lease program for our vehicles.
Cost of parking servicesmanagement contracts. Cost of parking services for management contracts decreased $4.4 million, or 13.7%, to $28.2 million for the first nine months of 2002, compared to $32.6 million in the first nine months of 2001. This decrease resulted primarily from the reduction of several unprofitable contracts and an improvement in the cost of providing management services offset by the net addition of 1 management contract. Gross margin for management contracts improved to 52.1% in the first nine months of 2002 compared to 47.8% for the first nine months of 2001. Most management contracts have no cost of parking services related to them, as all costs are reimbursable to the Company. However, several contracts, which are referred to as reverse management contracts, require the Company to pay for certain costs that are offset by larger management fees. The increase in gross margin percent for management contracts was related to the reduction in costs of operations, conversion to a capital lease program for our vehicles and the termination of several unprofitable contracts.
Reimbursed management contract expense. Reimbursed management contract expense increased $6.6 million to $277.4 million for the first nine months of 2002, compared to $270.8 million for the first nine months of 2001. The increase resulted from additional costs incurred on the behalf of owners.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 1.0%, to $22.6 million for the first nine months of 2002, as compared to $22.8 million for the first nine months of 2001. This decrease resulted from cost savings, staff reductions and operating efficiencies.
Special charges. The Company recorded $1.8 million of special charges in the first nine months of 2002, as compared to $.5 million in the first nine months of 2001. The 2002 special charges relate primarily to legal costs incurred for the registration of the 14% senior subordinated second lien notes, costs related to terminated contracts, costs related to the parent company debt reorganization, insurance costs in accordance with ERISA requirements, prior years rent adjustments and other items. (See Note 2 of Item 1).
Management feeparent company. The Company recorded $2.3 million of management fee in the first nine months of 2002 to our parent company, AP Holdings, pursuant to the Company's management agreement with AP Holdings. The actual payment of the management fee may be limited by the terms and conditions as set forth in the senior credit facility. There was no management fee in the first nine months of 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
On January 11, 2002, the Company completed a restructuring of its publicly issued debt. The Company exchanged $91.1 million of its outstanding 91/4% notes due 2008 for $59.3 million of the Company's newly issued 14% senior subordinated second lien notes due 2006 and shares of the Company's newly issued Series D preferred stock. As part of these transactions, the Company also received $20.0 million in cash. The cash was used to repay borrowings under the Company's old credit facility, repurchase shares of existing redeemable Series C preferred stock owned by our parent company and pay expenses incurred in connection with the restructuring transactions (including approximately $3.0 million to our parent company as a transaction advisory fee).
The Company entered into an amended and restated credit agreement as of January 11, 2002 with the LaSalle Bank National Association ("LaSalle") and Bank One, N.A., ("Bank One") (the lenders under its prior senior credit facility) that restructured its prior $40.0 million senior credit facility into a new senior credit facility. The new facility consists of a $25.0 million revolving credit facility provided by LaSalle, which will expire on March 1, 2004 and a $15.0 million term loan held by Bank One amortizing with $5.0 million due on December 31, 2002 and the remainder due on March 10, 2004. APCOA/Standard utilizes the revolving new facility to provide readily accessible cash for working capital purposes and general corporate purposes and to provide standby letters of credit. The revolving new facility provides for cash borrowings up to the lesser of $25.0 million or 80% of its eligible accounts receivable (as defined therein) and includes a letter of credit facility with a sublimit of $8.0 million (or such greater amount as LaSalle may agree to for letters of credit). The revolving new facility bears interest based, at the Company's option, either on LIBOR plus 3.75% or the Alternate Base Rate (as defined below) plus 1.50%. The Company may elect interest periods of 1, 2, or 3 months for LIBOR-based borrowings. The Alternate Base Rate is the higher of (i) the rate publicly announced from time to time by LaSalle as its "prime rate" and (ii) the overnight federal funds rates plus 0.50%. LIBOR will at all times be determined by taking into account maximum statutory reserves required (if any). The interest rate applicable to the term loan is a fixed rate of 13.0%, of which cash interest at 9.5% will be payable monthly in arrears and 3.5% will accrue without compounding and be payable on March 10, 2004 or earlier maturity, whether pursuant to any permitted prepayment acceleration or otherwise. The new senior credit facility includes covenants that limit the Company's ability to incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock or pay dividends and will contain certain other restrictions on its activities. It is secured by substantially all of its existing and future domestic subsidiaries' existing and after-acquired assets (including 100% of the stock of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of its existing and future foreign subsidiaries), by a first priority pledge of all of the common stock of the Company owned by AP Holdings and by all other existing and after-acquired property of the parent company. The senior credit facility was amended effective as of June 17, 2002 and June 30, 2002. At September 30, 2002, the Company had $4.8 million of letters of credit outstanding under the new facility and borrowings against the new facility aggregated $28.5 million.
As a result of day-to-day activity at the parking locations, APCOA/Standard collects significant amounts of cash. Lease contract revenue is generally deposited into local APCOA/Standard bank accounts, with a portion remitted to the clients in the form of rental payments according to the terms of the leases. Under management contracts, some clients require APCOA/Standard to deposit the daily receipts into a local APCOA/Standard bank account, with the cash in excess of the Company's operating expenses and management fees remitted to the client at negotiated intervals. Other clients require the Company to deposit the daily receipts into client accounts and the clients then reimburse the Company for operating expenses and pay the Company's management fee subsequent to month-end. Some clients require a segregated account for the receipts and disbursements of locations.
Gross daily collections are collected by APCOA/Standard and deposited into banks in one of three methods, which impact the Company's investment in working capital: (i) locations with revenues
21
deposited into APCOA/Standard's bank accounts reduce the Company's investment in working capital, (ii) locations that have segregated accounts generally require no investment in working capital and (iii) accounts where the revenues are deposited into the clients' accounts increase the Company's investment in working capital. The Company's average investment in working capital depends on its contract mix. For example, an increase in contracts that required all cash deposited in the Company's bank accounts reduces its investment in working capital and improves its liquidity. During the period of January 1, 2002 to September 30, 2002, there was no material decrease in these types of contracts.
APCOA/Standard's liquidity also fluctuates on an intra-month and intra-year basis depending on the contract mix and timing of significant cash payments such as the Company's scheduled interest payments. Additionally, the Company's ability to utilize cash deposited into APCOA/Standard local accounts is dependent upon the availability and movement of that cash into the Company's corporate account. For all these reasons, the Company from time to time carries significant cash balances, while at the same time utilizing the senior credit facility.
The Company is required under certain contracts to provide performance bonds. These bonds are renewed on an annual basis. The market for performance bonds has been severely impacted by the events of September 11th and general economic conditions. Consequently, the market has contracted, resulting in an industry-wide requirement to provide additional collateral to the surety providers. As of September 30, 2002, the Company provided $4.8 million in letters of credit to collateralize its current performance bond program. The Company expects that it will have to provide additional collateral as the current bonds reach their respective expiration dates. While the Company expects that it should be able to provide sufficient collateral, given the market conditions, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to do so.
The ability of the Company to generate cash from operations is partially dependent upon cash collected and generated from airport parking facilities. As a result of reduced air traffic and the impact of restrictions on the use of parking facilities within 300 feet of airport terminals and also reduced traffic at hotel and retail facilities, the Company may continue to experience a reduction in its revenue and cash flow from these operations.
There can be no assurance that the Company's cash flow from operations, combined with additional borrowings under the senior credit facility and any future credit facility, will be available in an amount sufficient to enable the Company to repay its indebtedness, including the 91/4% notes or the 14% notes, or to fund our other liquidity needs or planned capital expenditures. The Company has significant indebtedness. At September 30, 2002, the Company had indebtedness under the 91/4% notes, the 14% notes, the senior credit facility, joint venture debentures, capital lease obligations, and other asset financing totaling approximately $149.0 million, including the Company's borrowings against its senior credit facility that aggregated $28.5 million. The Company may need to refinance all or a portion of its indebtedness, including the senior credit facility, on or before their respective maturities. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to refinance any of its indebtedness, including the senior credit facility, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
The Company has minimum rental commitments of $28.0 for fiscal 2002. The leased properties generate sufficient cash flow to meet the base rent payment. In April 2002, the Company entered into a $5.5 million capital lease arrangement for its leased vehicle program. The lease commitment for fiscal 2002 is approximately $2.3 million.
The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $6.2 million at September 30, 2002, compared to $7.6 million at December 31, 2001.

Nine Months ended September 30, 2002 Compared to Nine Months ended September 30, 2001
Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $4.3 million in the first nine months of 2002 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $2.2 million in the first nine months of 2001. Cash provided during 2002 included a $1.0 million decrease in accounts receivable and a $4.2 million increase in insurance and other accruals and $20.0 million from the exchange (see note 3 of Item 1), which were offset by the payment of $9.0 million in fees and expenses related to the exchange (that had been provided at December 31, 2001), $9.4 million in interest payments on the senior subordinated notes and the senior subordinated second lien notes and a decrease in accounts payable of $4.8 million. Net cash used in the first nine months of 2001 included a $1.5 million decrease in accounts payable and a $4.3 million decrease in other liabilities due primarily to the $13.0 million interest payment on the senior subordinated notes. This was partially offset by a $8.7 million increase in deferred compensation, insurance and other accruals and a $1.2 million decrease in accounts receivable.
Cash used in investing activities totaled $1.1 million for each of the first nine months of 2002 and 2001. Cash used in investing for the first nine months of 2002 and the first nine months of 2001 resulted from capital purchases to secure and/or extend leased facilities and investments in management information system enhancements.
Cash used in financing activities totaled $4.7 million in the first nine months of 2002 compared to cash provided by financing activities of $9.4 million for the first nine months of 2001. The 2002 first nine months activity included $0.1 million in payments on the senior credit facility, $2.5 million in redemption of redeemable preferred stock (see note 3 of Item 1), $1.4 million in payments of capital lease obligations and repayments on joint venture and other borrowings of $0.7 million. Cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2001 included $11.3 million in borrowings from the senior credit facility, offset by repayments on long-term and joint venture borrowings of $1.6 million, as well as payments of debt issuance costs of $0.3 million.
Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Factors that might cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" as well as in this Quarterly Report generally. You should carefully review the risks described in this Quarterly Report as well as the risks described in other documents filed by the Company and from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, when used in this Quarterly Report, the words "anticipates," "plans," "believes," "estimates," and "expects" and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by the Company or these forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to revise these forward-looking statements to reflect any future events or circumstances.
Cautionary Statements
The Company continues to be subject to certain factors that could cause the Company's results to differ materially from expected and historical results (see the "Risk Factors" set forth in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-4 (No. 333-86008) filed on April 10, 2002 (the "Registration Statement"), and the Company's 2001 Form 10-K filed on March 29, 2002.

Additional Funds Would Need To Be Reserved For Future Insurance Losses If Loss Experience Were To Be Worse Than Is Expected.
The Company provides liability and worker's compensation insurance coverage consistent with its obligations to its clients under its various management contracts. The Company is obligated to reimburse its insurance carrier for each loss incurred in the current calendar year up to the amount of a deductible specified in our insurance policies. The Company's financial statements reflect the Company's funding of all such reimbursement obligations based upon guidance and evaluation the Company has received from third party insurance professionals. There can be no assurance, however, that the ultimate amount of such reimbursement obligations will not exceed the amount presently funded, in which case the Company would need to set aside additional funds to reserve for any such excess.
Our performance bond surety program will likely require additional collateral to issue new performance bonds in support of our 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. Due to our financial condition and the financial state of the surety bond industry during 2001 and 2002, the sureties of our performance bond program required us to collateralize a greater percentage of their performance bonds with letters of credit. As a result, our working capital needs increased and our available liquidity decreased since any letters of credit used by us to collateralize surety bonds reduces the availability of funds under our senior credit facility and limits funds available for debt service, working capital and capital expenditure requirements. If we are unable to provide sufficient collateral in the future, our sureties may not issue performance bonds to support our obligations under certain contracts. As of September 30, 2002, we had approximately $4.8 million of letters of credit outstanding as collateral with respect to our sureties' issuance of performance bonds.
As is customary in the industry, a surety provider can refuse to provide us with new 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 would prevent us from obtaining new business from those entities requiring performance bonds and from renewing contracts with those entities which require performance bonds. Our inability to provide surety bonds could also result in the loss of existing contracts. Failure to find a provider of surety bonds, and the resulting inability to bid for new or renew existing contracts, could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Interest Rates
The Company's primary market risk exposure consists of risk related to changes in interest rates. Historically, the Company has not used derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
The Company entered into a $25.0 million revolving variable rate senior credit facility in January 2002 (see note 4 of Item 1). Interest expense on such borrowing is sensitive to changes in the market rate of interest. If the Company were to borrow the entire $25.0 million available under the facility, a 1% increase in the average market rate would result in an increase in the Company's annual interest expense of $0.3 million.
This amount is determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on the Company's borrowing cost, but does not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic
24
activity that could exist in such an environment. Due to the uncertainty of the specific changes and their possible effects, the foregoing sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in the Company's financial structure.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company's exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal. All foreign investments are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the exception of Canada. The Company has approximately CAN$1.7 million of cash and no Canadian dollar denominated debt instruments at September 30, 2002. The Company does not hold any hedging instruments related to foreign currency transactions. The Company monitors foreign currency positions and may enter into certain hedging instruments in the future should it determine that exposure to foreign exchange risk has increased.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Within the 90 days prior to the date of this Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or other factors that could significantly affect internal controls subsequent to September 30, 2002.

The Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings which consist principally of lease and contract disputes and includes litigation with The County of Wayne relating to the management of parking facilities at the Detroit Metropolitan Airport. These claims and legal proceedings are considered routine, and incidental to the Company's business, and in the opinion of management, the ultimate liability with respect to these proceedings and claims will not materially affect the financial position, operations, or liquidity of the Company.
On October 25, 2002, the Company filed an Application for Temporary Injunction and verified Complaint in the Superior Court for the Judicial District of Hartford in Hartford Connecticut against James F. Byrnes, Jr., acting Commissioner of Transportation for the State of Connecticut and First Union National Bank, in their capacity as trustee for the bondholders. The action seeks judicial interpretation of the contractual obligations of the Company in the operations of the parking facilities at the Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks Connecticut pursuant to the 25-year lease between the Company and the State. See Company Form 10-K for fiscal year ended December 31, 2001, Item 7, Business Risks, for description of the Company's contractual relationship with the State of Connecticut. The Company has specifically requested the court for a judgment and permanent injunction prohibiting the State from attempting to recover the costs associated with anti-terrorism parking measures at the airport, diverting a capitalized interest account to pay for airport improvements and diverting airport parking receipts to pay for capital improvements and surface parking and garage security costs. There was an informal hearing before the judge on November 12, 2002. The matter was continued by the judge tentatively to November 26, 2002. As of September 30, 2002, the Company recorded a receivable for this contract in the amount of $4.0 million, which includes deficiency payments of $0.4 million and the Company made an additional $0.5 million payment in October 2002.
