STANDARD PARKING CORPORATION

 

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

(unaudited)

 

1.              Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Standard Parking Corporation 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 three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results that might be expected for any other interim period or the fiscal year ending December 31, 2004. The financial statements presented in this report should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 29, 2004.

 

2.              Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities—An Interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51.” This interpretation provides guidance on how to identify variable interest entities and how to determine whether or not those entities should be consolidated. FIN 46 applies to variable interest entities created after January 31, 2003. FIN 46 also applies in the first fiscal quarter or interim period ending after December 15, 2003, in which a company holds a variable interest in an entity that it acquired before February 1, 2003. On January 1, 2004, we adopted FIN 46. The adoption of FIN 46 did not have an impact on our results of operations or financial position.

 

In May 2003, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 150, “Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Both Liabilities and Equity”. This statement establishes standards for how an issuer classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain financial instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. In accordance with SFAS No. 150, a financial instrument that embodies an obligation for the issuer is required to be classified as a liability and the dividends previously classified as charges to equity must be recorded as an expense in the statement of operations. SFAS No. 150 is effective for financial instruments entered into or modified after May 31, 2003, and otherwise is effective at the beginning of the first interim period after June 15, 2003, except for mandatorily redeemable financial instruments of nonpublic entities. The adoption of SFAS No. 150 did not have an impact on our results of operations or financial position.

 

3.              Goodwill and Intangible Assets

 

On January 1, 2002, we adopted SFAS No. 142, which eliminates the amortization of goodwill and requires that the goodwill be tested for impairment. The annual impairment test of goodwill made at the end of October 2003 did not require adjustment to the carrying value of our goodwill. As of June 30, 2004 and 2003, our definite lived intangible assets of $2.0 million and $2.5 million, respectively, net of accumulated amortization of $3.8 million and $3.3 million, respectively, which primarily consist of non-compete agreements, continue to be amortized over their useful lives.

 

The change in the carrying amount of goodwill is summarized as follows (in thousands):

We are the lessee under a 25-year lease with the State of Connecticut that expires on April 6, 2025, under which we lease the surface parking and 3,500 garage parking spaces at Bradley International Airport located in the Hartford, Connecticut metropolitan area. The parking garage was financed on April 6, 2000 through the issuance of $47.7 million of State of Connecticut special facility revenue bonds. The Bradley lease provides that we deposit with a trustee for the bondholders all gross revenues collected from operations of the surface and garage parking, and from these gross revenues, the trustee pays debt service on the special facility revenue bonds, operating and capital maintenance expenses of the surface and garage parking facilities and specific annual guaranteed minimum payments to the State. Principal and interest on the Bradley special facility revenue bonds increased from approximately $3.6 million in lease year 2002 to approximately $4.5 million in lease year 2025. Our annual guaranteed minimum payments to the State increase from approximately $8.3 million in lease year 2002 to approximately $13.2 million in lease year 2024.

 

To the extent that monthly gross receipts are not sufficient for the trustee to make the required payments we are obligated, pursuant to our guaranty agreement, to deliver the deficiency amount to the trustee within three business days of notice. We are responsible for these deficiency payments regardless of the amount of utilization for the Bradley parking facilities. We made payments of $1.4 million in the period ended June 30, 2004 and $3.3 million in the year ended December 31, 2003 to cover these deficiency payments.

 

We recorded $2.7 million as a valuation allowance related to long-term receivables during the year ended December 31, 2003. The amount was sufficient to cover all net receivables related to Bradley Airport other than the guarantor payments. There was no additional allowance recorded in the period ended June 30, 2004. It is anticipated that we will continue to reflect a valuation allowance against these receivables until the collectibility in the short term is readily apparent.

In conjunction with our initial public offering, on June 2, 2004, we repurchased our outstanding 14% Senior Subordinated Second Lien Notes (“14% Notes”) for $57.7 million.

 

The 14% Notes were issued in January 2002. The 14% Notes were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Interest accrued at the rate of 14% per annum and was payable semi-annually in a combination of cash and additional registered notes (the “PIK Notes”), in arrears on June 15 and December 15, commencing on June 15, 2002. Interest in the amount of 10% per annum was paid in cash, and interest in the amount of 4% per annum was paid in PIK Notes. We made each interest payment to the holders of record on the immediately preceding June 1 and December 1. PIK Notes were issued in denominations of $100 principal amount and integral multiples of $100. The amount of PIK Notes issued was rounded down to the nearest $100 with any fractional amount refunded to the holder as cash.

 

The 9 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes (the “9 1/4% Notes”) were issued in September of 1998 and are due in March of 2008. The 9 ¼% Notes are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

A roll-forward schedule of the 14% Notes, 9 1/4% Notes and carrying value in excess of principal is as follows:

We entered into a new senior credit agreement as of June 2, 2004 with LaSalle Bank National Association, as agent and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as syndication agent.  LaSalle and Wells Fargo have subsequently assigned a portion of their loans and rights as lender to Fifth Third Bank Chicago and U.S. Bank National Association. This new senior credit agreement represents a refinancing of the prior $65.0 million senior credit facility with LaSalle and certain other lenders.

 

The new revolving senior credit facility now consists of a $90.0 million revolving credit facility that will expire on June 2, 2007, provided in the following commitments:

 

                  $30.0 million by LaSalle

                  $30.0 million by Wells Fargo

                  $20.0 million by US Bank

                  $10.0 million by Fifth Third

 

The new credit facility includes a letter of credit sub-facility with a sublimit of $30.0 million provided by Wells Fargo and a swing line sub-facility with a sublimit of $5.0 million.

 

9



 

The new revolving credit facility bears interest, at our option, at either (1) LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR Margin ranging between 2.50% and 3.25% depending on the ratio of our total funded indebtedness to our EBITDA from time to time (“Total Debt Ratio”) or (2) the Base Rate (as defined below) plus the applicable Base Rate Margin raging between 1.00% and 1.75% depending on our Total Debt Ratio.  We may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months for LIBOR based borrowings.   The Base Rate is the greater of (i) the rate publicly announced from time to time by LaSalle as its “prime rate”, or (ii) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50%.

 

The new senior credit facility includes covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock or pay dividends and contain certain other restrictions on our activities.  We are required to repay borrowings under the new senior credit facility out of the proceeds of future issuances of debt or equity securities and asset sales, subject to certain customary exceptions. The new senior credit facility is secured by a first lien on substantially all of our assets and any subsequently acquired assets (including a pledge of 100% of the stock of our existing and future domestic guarantor subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of our existing and future foreign subsidiaries).

 

At June 30, 2004, we had $19.9 million of letters of credit outstanding under the new senior credit facility, borrowings against the senior credit facility aggregated $61.1 million, and we had $9.0 million available under the new senior credit facility.

 

The 9 1/4% Notes and new senior credit facility contain covenants that limit Standard from incurring additional indebtedness and issuing preferred stock, restrict dividend payments, limit transactions with affiliates and restrict certain other transactions. Substantially all of Standard’s net assets are restricted under these provisions and covenants (See Note 14).

 

Consolidated joint ventures have entered into four agreements for stand-alone development projects providing nonrecourse funding. These joint venture debentures are collateralized by the specific contracts that were funded and approximate the net book value of the related assets.

 

We have entered into various financing agreements, which were used for the purchase of equipment.

 

8.              Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series C

 

In connection with our IPO, we exchanged a portion of our 11 ¼% Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series C preferred stock”), that was owned by Steamboat Industries LLC for 5,789,499 shares of our common stock. Our remaining Series C preferred stock was contributed to us by our former parent as a capital contribution. There are no outstanding shares of Series C preferred stock.

 

In connection with the acquisition of the former Standard Parking and its affiliates on March 30, 1998, we received $40.7 million from AP Holdings in exchange for $70.0 million face amount of Series C preferred stock. Cumulative preferred dividends were payable semi-annually at the rate of 11 1/4%. Any semi-annual dividend not declared or paid in cash automatically increased the liquidation preference of the stock by the amount of the unpaid dividend. We were required to redeem Series C preferred stock at the election of a holder of Series C preferred stock at any time after AP Holdings redeemed or was required to repurchase, pursuant to the terms of the indenture, dated as of March 30, 1998, by and between AP Holdings, Inc. and State Street Bank and Trust Company, any of its 11 1/4% senior discount notes due 2008 issued pursuant to the indenture.

 

The Series C preferred stock had an initial liquidation preference equal to $1.0 million per share or $40.7 million in the aggregate. The Series C preferred stock accrued dividends on a cumulative basis at 11 1/4% per year. Conversion was fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors and the shares have no voting rights except as to alterations or changes that may adversely affect the holders of the Series C preferred stock.

 

In January 2002, we redeemed $1.5 million and $0.1 million of the Series C preferred stock held by AP Holdings in two separate transactions for cash of $1.6 million. On June 17, 2002, we redeemed an additional $0.9 million of Series C preferred stock held by AP Holdings for $0.9 million in cash. On September 9, 2003, we redeemed an additional $2.4 million of the Series C preferred stock held by AP Holdings. The proceeds received by AP Holdings were used by it to repurchase, directly or indirectly, its outstanding 11 1/4% senior discount notes.

9.              Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series D

 

In connection with our IPO, Steamboat Industries LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, Steamboat Industries N.V., acquired all but ten shares of our outstanding 18% Senior Convertible Redeemable Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D preferred stock”). Steamboat Industries LLC then contributed its Series D preferred stock to us as a capital contribution. We then retired all shares of Series D preferred stock contributed to us and now have only ten shares of Series D preferred stock outstanding. The ten shares were retained in order to effect the recapitalized structure in connection with our IPO. The Series D preferred stock has an initial liquidation preference equal to $100 per share or $1,000 in the aggregate.

 

Prior to our IPO and, in connection with our recapitalization, we issued 3,500 shares of the Series D preferred stock to Fiducia, Ltd. that had an initial liquidation preference equal to $10,000 per share or $35.0 million in the aggregate. The Series D preferred stock accrued dividends on a cumulative basis at 18% per year. Conversion was upon occurrence of an IPO at a rate related to the IPO price and the shares had no voting rights except as to creation of any class or series of shares ranking senior to the Series D preferred stock. We were required to redeem Series D preferred stock at the election of the holder any time on or after June 15, 2008. The number of shares of Series D preferred stock authorized for issuance was 17,500.

10.       Stock-Based Compensation

 

SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123”, amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to require more prominent disclosures in both interim and annual financial statements regarding the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results.

 

We account for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic value method of accounting in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). Under the intrinsic value method, because the exercise price of the employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

We are required under SFAS No. 123, to disclose pro forma information regarding option grants made to our employees based on specific valuation techniques that produce estimated compensation charges. The pro forma information is as follows (in thousands, except per-share amounts):

11.       Non-Cash Stock Compensation Expense

 

In accordance with the 2001 Option Plan, outstanding options to purchase 503.86 shares of Series D preferred stock immediately became fully vested and exercisable upon completion of our IPO. The vested Series D preferred stock options were then converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 444,836 shares of our common stock. These options on our common stock became fully vested upon completion of our IPO.

 

We have elected to follow APB No. 25, and related interpretations in accounting for the stock options granted to employees and directors. Accordingly, employee and director compensation expense is recognized only for those options which price is less than fair market value at the measurement date.

 

We recorded $2.3 million in non-cash stock compensation expense representing the difference between the fair market value of $11.50 per share and the exercise price of $6.34 per share on the 444,836 shares converted to our common stock.

 

12.       Initial Public Offering

 

In June 2004, we closed our initial public offering and sale of 4,666,667 shares of common stock, including the underwriters’ exercise of an over-allotment option, at a price of $11.50 per share. A total of $53.7 million in gross proceeds was raised from this offering. After deducting the underwriting discount of $3.8 million, and offering expenses of $2.9 million, net proceeds to us were $47.0 million. In conjunction with this offering, we entered into a new $90.0 million senior credit facility and redeemed our 14% Notes in the amount of $57.7 million. In addition, we paid $1.6 million of interest premium on the 14% Notes, $0.8 million of interest previously deferred on the term loan for the old senior credit facility, $6.6 million to purchase the common stock subject to put/call rights and any remaining existing stock options of the common stock (plus a $5.0 million note), $1.3 million in debt issuance costs for the new senior credit facility and $0.3 million for professional fees related to the exchange of debt.

13.       Net Income Per Common Share

 

In accordance with SFAS No.128, “Earnings Per Share,” basic net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted daily average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. The weighted daily average number of shares of common stock excludes shares that have been exercised prior to vesting and are subject to repurchase by us. Diluted net income per share is based upon the weighted daily average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period plus dilutive potential common shares, including stock options using the treasury-stock method.

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, the reported net loss resulted in all options to purchase common shares being excluded from the calculation of diluted common shares. For each of the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, options to purchase 72,976 shares are excluded from the diluted common shares since they are anti-dilutive.

 

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income per share:

14.       Subsidiary Guarantors

 

Substantially all of our direct or indirect wholly owned active domestic subsidiaries, fully, unconditionally, jointly and severally guarantee the senior credit facility and the 9 1/4% Notes discussed in Note 7. Separate financial statements of the guarantor subsidiaries are not separately presented because, in our opinion, such financial statements are not material to investors. The non-guarantor subsidiaries include joint ventures, wholly owned subsidiaries organized under the laws of foreign jurisdictions and our inactive subsidiaries, all of which are included in the consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion will assist in understanding our financial position and results of operations. The information below should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, the related notes to the consolidated financial statements and our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

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 us 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 these forward-looking statements or us. We undertake no obligation to revise these forward-looking statements to reflect any future events or circumstances.

 

We continue to be subject to certain factors that could cause our results to differ materially from expected and historical results (see the “Risk Factors” set forth in our 2003 Form 10-K filed on March 29, 2004 and our Form S-1 (333-112652) Registration Statement.

 

Overview

 

Our Business

 

We manage parking facilities in urban markets and at airports across the United States and in three Canadian provinces. We do not own any facilities, but instead enter into contractual relationships with property owners or managers.

 

We operate our clients’ parking properties through two types of arrangements: management contracts and leases. Under a management contract, we typically receive a base monthly fee for managing the facility, and we may also receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of facility performance objectives. We also receive fees for ancillary services. Typically, all of the underlying revenues and expenses under a standard management contract flow through to our clients rather than to us. However, some management contracts, which are referred to as “reverse” management contracts, usually provide for larger management fees and require us to pay various costs. Under lease arrangements, we generally pay to the property owner either a fixed annual rent, a percentage of gross customer collections, or a combination thereof. We collect all revenues under lease arrangements and we are responsible for most operating expenses, but we are typically not responsible for major maintenance, capital expenditures or real estate taxes. Margins for lease contracts vary significantly, not only due to operating performance, but also due to variability of parking rates in different cities and varying space utilization by parking facility type and location. As of June 30, 2004, we operated 84% of our locations under management contracts and 16% under leases.

 

In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, management’s primary focus is on our gross profit, total general and administrative expense and general and administrative expense as a percentage of our gross profit. Although the underlying economics to us of management contracts and leases are similar, the manner in which we are required to account for them differs. Revenue from leases includes all gross customer collections derived from our leased locations (net of parking tax), whereas revenue from management contracts only includes our contractually agreed upon management fees and amounts attributable to ancillary services. Gross customer collections at facilities under management contracts, therefore, are not included in our revenue. Accordingly, while our revenue can fluctuate simply based on the proportion of leases to management contracts, our gross profit will not fluctuate merely because of the structure of our operating agreements. For example, as of June 30, 2004, 84% of our locations were operated under management contracts and 80% of our gross profit for the period ended June 30, 2004 was derived from management contracts. Only 37% of total revenue (excluding reimbursement of management contract expenses), however, was from management contracts because under those contracts the revenue collected from parking customers belongs to our clients. Therefore, gross profit and total general and administrative expense, rather than revenue, are management’s primary focus.

 

Our Initial Public Offering

 

In June 2004, we closed our initial public offering and the sale of 4,666,667 shares of common stock, including the underwriters’ exercise of an over-allotment option, at a price of $11.50 per share. We raised a total of $53.7 million in gross proceeds from this offering. After deducting the underwriting discount of $3.8 million, and offering expenses of $2.9 million, net proceeds to us were $47.0 million. In conjunction with this offering, we entered into a new $90.0 million senior credit facility and redeemed our 14% Notes in the amount of

 

15



 

$57.7 million. In addition, we paid $1.6 million of interest premium on the 14% Notes, $0.8 million of interest previously deferred on the term loan for the old senior credit facility, $6.6 million to purchase the common stock subject to put/call rights and any remaining existing stock options of the common stock (plus a $5.0 million note), $1.3 million in debt issuance costs for the new senior credit facility and $0.3 million for professional fees related to the exchange of debt.

 

Summary of Operating Facilities

 

We focus our operations in core markets where a concentration of locations improves customer service levels and operating margins. The following table reflects our facilities operated at the end of the periods indicated:

Revenue

 

We recognize parking services revenue from lease and management contracts as the related services are provided. Substantially all of our revenues come from the following two sources:

 

                  Parking services revenue—lease contracts. Parking services revenues related to lease contracts consist of all revenue received at a leased facility, including parking receipts (net of parking tax), consulting and real estate development fees, gains on sales of contracts and payments for exercising termination rights.

 

                  Parking services revenue—management contracts. Management contract revenue consists of management fees, including both fixed and performance-based fees, and amounts attributable to ancillary services such as accounting, equipment leasing, payments received for exercising termination rights, consulting, insurance and other value-added services with respect to managed locations. We believe we generally purchase required insurance at lower rates than our clients can obtain on their own because we effectively self-insure for all liability and worker’s compensation claims by maintaining a large per-claim deductible. As a result, we have generated operating income on the insurance provided under our management contracts by focusing on our risk management efforts and controlling losses. Management contract revenues do not include gross customer collections at the managed locations as this revenue belongs to the property owner rather than to us. Management contracts generally provide us with a management fee regardless of the operating performance of the underlying facility.

 

Reimbursement of Management Contract Expense

 

Reimbursement of management contract expense consists of the direct reimbursement from the property owner for operating expenses incurred under a management contract.

 

Cost of Parking Services

 

Our cost of parking services consists of the following:

 

                  Cost of parking services—lease 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 generally based on either a fixed contractual amount or a percentage of gross revenue or a combination thereof. Generally, under a lease arrangement we are not responsible for major capital expenditures or real estate taxes.

 

                  Cost of parking services—management contracts. The cost of parking services under a management contract is generally the responsibility of the facility owner. As a result, these costs are not included in our results of operations. However, our reverse management contracts, which typically provide for larger management fees, do require us to pay for certain

 

16



 

costs.

 

Gross Profit

 

Gross profit equals our revenue less the cost of generating such revenue. This is the key metric we use to examine our performance because it captures the underlying economic benefit to us of both lease contracts and management contracts.

 

General and Administrative Expenses

 

General and administrative expenses include salaries, wages, payroll taxes, insurance, travel and office related expenses for our headquarters, field offices and supervisory employees.

 

Special Charges

 

We have incurred a variety of special charges during the periods discussed. These charges have included costs associated with incremental integration costs and certain expenses of AP Holdings, Inc, our former parent company.

 

Management Fee

 

Since 2002, we were a party to a management agreement with AP Holdings that provided for periodic payment of annual management fees of $3.0 million. We paid the management fees through the second quarter of 2004. The fee was terminated upon the closing of the initial public offering in June 2004.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Three Months ended June 30, 2003

 

 Parking services revenue—lease contracts. Lease contract revenue increased $1.2 million, or 3.4%, to $37.1 million in the second quarter of 2004, compared to $35.9 million in the second quarter of 2003. The majority of this increase resulted from the net addition of 23 contracts which more than offset those lost through contract expirations and conversions to management contracts.

 

 Parking services revenue—management contracts. Management contract revenue increased $2.5 million, or 12.8%, to $21.6 million in the second quarter of 2004 compared to $19.1 million in the second quarter of 2003. This increase resulted from the net addition of 37 contracts, the impact of increased revenue from insurance and other ancillary services and conversions from lease contracts.

 

 Reimbursement of management contract expense. Reimbursement of management contract expenses decreased $2.1 million, or 2.5%, to $82.2 million in the second quarter of 2004, as compared to $84.3 million in the second quarter 2003. This decrease resulted from a reduction in costs incurred on the behalf of owners.

 

 Cost of parking services—lease contracts. Cost of parking for lease contracts increased $0.8 million, or 2.6%, to $33.5 million for the second quarter of 2004, from $32.7 million for the second quarter of 2003. The majority of this increase resulted from the net addition of 23 contracts which more than offset the cost reductions associated with those lost through contract expirations and conversions to management contracts.

 

 Cost of parking services—management contracts. Cost of parking for management contracts increased $1.5 million, or 20.3%, to $9.0 million in the second quarter of 2004, from $7.5 million in the second quarter 2003. This increase resulted primarily from the net addition of 37 contracts and increased costs on reverse management contracts.

 

 Reimbursed management contract expense. Reimbursed management contract expense decreased $2.1 million, or 2.5%, to $82.2 million in the second quarter of 2004, as compared to $84.3 million in the second quarter 2003. This decrease resulted from a reduction in costs incurred on the behalf of owners.

 

 Gross profit—lease contracts. Gross profit for lease contracts increased $0.4 million, or 12.0%, to $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2004, as compared to $3.2 million in the second quarter of 2003. Gross margin for lease contracts increased to 9.6% in the second quarter of 2004 as compared to 8.9% for the second quarter of 2003. This increase in gross profit resulted primarily from the net addition of 23 contracts and the increase in gross margin primarily relates to improvement in operating expenses on existing contracts.

 

 Gross profit—management contracts. Gross profit for management contracts increased $0.9 million, or 7.9%, to $12.5 million for the

 

17



 

second quarter of 2004, as compared to $11.6 million in the second quarter of 2003. Gross margin for management contracts decreased to 58.2% for the second quarter of 2004 as compared to 60.8% for the second quarter of 2003. The increase in gross profit was primarily related to the net addition of 37 contracts and the decrease in gross margin was primarily related to increased costs on reverse management contracts.

 

 General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million, or 8.4%, to $8.7 million for the second quarter of 2004, compared to $8.0 million for the second quarter of 2003. This increase resulted primarily from increases in wage and benefit costs, professional fees and approximately $0.2 million in additional costs of being a public equity company.

 

 Special charges. We recorded no special charges for the second quarter of 2004 compared to $0.2 million for the second quarter of 2003. The 2003 special charges relate primarily to costs associated with our parent company.

 

 Management fee—parent company. We recorded $0.8 million of management fee for each of the second quarters of 2004 and 2003 to AP Holdings, Inc., pursuant to a management agreement that terminated in June 2004. The actual payment of the management fee is determined by the terms and conditions as set forth in the senior credit facility. In conjunction with our IPO, the management fee was terminated. We paid the management fee through June 30, 2004.

 

Six Months ended June 30, 2004 Compared to Six Months ended June 30, 2003

 

 Parking services revenue—lease contracts. Lease contract revenue increased $0.6 million, or 0.9%, to $72.2 million in the first six months of 2004, compared to $71.6 million in the first six months of 2003. The majority of this increase resulted from the net addition of 23 contracts which more than offset those lost through contract expirations and conversions to management contracts.

 

 Parking services revenue—management contracts. Management contract revenue increased $5.4 million, or 14.4%, to $42.5 million in the first six months of 2004 compared to $37.1 million in the first six months of 2003. This increase resulted from the net addition of 37 contracts, the impact of increased revenue from insurance and other ancillary services and conversions from lease contracts.

 

 Reimbursement of management contract expense. Reimbursement of management contract expenses increased $8.8 million, or 5.5%, to $169.9 million in the first six months of 2004, as compared to $161.1 million in the first six months of 2003. This increase resulted from additional reimbursements for costs incurred on the behalf of owners.

 

 Cost of parking services—lease contracts. Cost of parking for lease contracts increased $0.5 million, or 0.7%, to $66.0 million for the first six months of 2004, from $65.5 million for the first six months of 2003. The majority of this increase resulted from the net addition of 23 contracts which more than offset the cost reductions associated with those lost through contract expirations and conversions to management contracts.

 

 Cost of parking services—management contracts. Cost of parking for management contracts increased $2.9 million, or 20.8%, to $17.1 million in the first six months of 2004, from $14.2 million in the first six months of 2003. This increase resulted primarily from the net addition of 37 contracts and increased costs on reverse management contracts.

 

 Reimbursed management contract expense. Reimbursed management contract expense increased $8.8 million, or 5.5%, to $169.9 million in the first six months of 2004, as compared to $161.1 million in the first six months of 2003. This increase resulted from additional reimbursements for costs incurred on the behalf of owners.

Gross profit for lease contracts increased $0.2 million, or 3.7%, to $6.3 million in the first six months of 2004, as compared to $6.1 million in the first six months of 2003. Gross margin for lease contracts increased to 8.7% in the first six months of 2004 as compared to 8.4% for the first six months of 2003. This increase in gross profit resulted primarily from the net addition of 23 contracts and the increase in gross margin primarily relates to improvement in operating expenses on existing contracts.

 

 Gross profit—management contracts. Gross profit for management contracts increased $2.4 million, or 10.5%, to $25.3 million for the first six months of 2004, as compared to $22.9 million in the first six months of 2003. Gross margin for management contracts decreased to 59.6% for the first six months of 2004 as compared to 61.7% for the first six months of 2003. The increase in gross profit was primarily related to the net addition of 37 contracts and the decrease in gross margin was primarily related to increased costs on reverse management contracts.

 

 General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million, or 6.5%, to $17.1 million for the first six months of 2004, compared to $16.1 million for the first six months of 2003. This increase resulted primarily from increases in wage and benefit costs, professional fees and approximately $0.2 million in additional costs of being a public equity company.

 

18



 

 Special charges. We recorded no special charges for the first six months of 2004 compared to $0.3 million for the first six months of 2003. The 2003 special charges relate primarily to costs associated with our parent company and prior year terminated contracts.

 

 Management fee—parent company. We recorded $1.5 million of management fee for each of the first six months of 2004 and 2003 to AP Holdings pursuant to our management agreement. The actual payment of management fees was controlled by the terms and conditions of the existing senior credit facility. In conjunction with our IPO, the management fee was terminated. The management fee was paid through June 30, 2004.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Outstanding Indebtedness

 

On June 30, 2004, we had total indebtedness of approximately $118.5 million, a reduction of $42.6 million from December 31, 2003. The $118.5 million includes:

 

                  $61.1 million under our new senior credit facility;

 

                  $49.6 million of 9 1/4% Notes, including $0.7 million in carrying value in excess of principal, which are due in March 2008; and

 

                  $7.8 million of other debt including joint venture debentures, capital lease obligations and obligations on seller notes and other indebtedness.

 

We believe that our cash flow from operations, combined with additional borrowings under our senior credit facility will be available in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our indebtedness, or to fund other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness, including the 9 1/4% Notes, on or before their respective maturities. We believe that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness, including the new senior credit facility and the 9 1/4% Notes, on commercially reasonable terms. However, if we are unable to refinance our debt, we may default under the terms of our indebtedness, which could lead to an acceleration of the debt. We do not expect that we could repay all of our outstanding indebtedness if the repayment of such indebtedness were accelerated.

 

Senior Credit Facility

 

We entered into a new credit agreement as of June 2, 2004 with LaSalle Bank National Association, as agent and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as syndication agent.  LaSalle and Wells Fargo have subsequently assigned a portion of their loans and rights as lender to Fifth Third Bank Chicago and U.S. Bank National Association. This new credit agreement represents a refinancing of the prior $65.0 million senior credit facility with LaSalle and certain other lenders.

 

The new senior credit facility now consists of a $90.0 million revolving credit facility that will expire on June 2, 2007, provided in the following commitments:

 

                  $30.0 million by LaSalle

                  $30.0 million by Wells Fargo

                  $20.0 million by US Bank

                  $10.0 million by Fifth Third

 

The new revolving credit facility includes a letter of credit sub-facility with a sublimit of $30.0 million provided by Wells Fargo and a swing line sub-facility with a sublimit of $5.0 million.

 

The new revolving credit facility bears interest, at our option, at either (1) LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR Margin ranging between 2.50% and 3.25% depending on the ratio of our total funded indebtedness to our EBITDA from time to time (“Total Debt Ratio”) or (2) the Base Rate (as defined below) plus the applicable Base Rate Margin raging between 1.00% and 1.75% depending on our Total Debt Ratio.  We may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months for LIBOR based borrowings.   The Base Rate is the greater of (i) the rate publicly announced from time to time by LaSalle as its “prime rate”, or (ii) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50%.

 

The new senior credit facility includes covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock or pay dividends and contain certain other restrictions on our activities.  We are required to repay borrowings under the new senior

 

19



 

credit facility out of the proceeds of future issuances of debt or equity securities and asset sales, subject to certain customary exceptions. The new senior credit facility is secured by substantially all of and after-acquired assets (including a pledge of 100% of the stock of our existing and future domestic guarantor subsidiaries and 65% of the stock of our existing and future foreign subsidiaries).

 

At June 30, 2004, we had $19.9 million of letters of credit outstanding under the new senior credit facility, borrowings against the new senior credit facility aggregated $61.1 million and we had $9.0 million available under the new senior credit facility.

 

Letters of Credit

 

As of June 30, 2004, we had $19.9 million in letters of credit outstanding, which constitute a use of availability under our revolving credit facility.

 

We are required under certain contracts to provide performance bonds. These bonds are typically renewed on an annual basis. As of June 30, 2004, we provided $5.9 million in letters of credit to collateralize our current performance bond program. We do not expect that we will need to provide any additional collateral to support our current performance bond program. However, a material downturn in our financial performance may lead our sureties to require additional collateral. While we expect that in such event we will be able to provide sufficient collateral, there can be no assurance that we would be able to do so.

 

During the first six months of 2004, we provided letters of credit totaling $2.0 million to our casualty insurance carrier to collateralize our casualty insurance program.

 

During the first quarter of 2003, our casualty insurance carrier returned funds previously held in trust, in the amount of $12.0 million, which was exchanged for a letter of credit in the same amount.

 

Lease Commitments

 

We have lease commitments of $20.5 million for fiscal 2004. The leased properties generate sufficient cash flow to meet the base rent payment.

 

Guarantor Payments

 

Pursuant to our obligations with respect to the parking garage operations at Bradley International Airport, we have guaranteed any revenue shortfall and are required to make certain payments for the benefit of the State of Connecticut and for holders of special facility revenue bonds. We made deficiency payments (net of repayments) of $1.2 million in 2002, $3.3 million in 2003 and $1.4 million in the first six months of 2004. Although we expect to recover all amounts owed to us, we expect that we may have to make material additional deficiency payments in the near term.

 

Daily Cash Collections

 

As a result of day-to-day activity at our parking locations, we collect significant amounts of cash. Lease contract revenue is generally deposited into our local bank accounts, with a portion remitted to our clients in the form of rental payments according to the terms of the leases. Under management contracts, some clients require us to deposit the daily receipts into one of our local bank accounts, with the cash in excess of our operating expenses and management fees remitted to the clients at negotiated intervals. Other clients require us to deposit the daily receipts into client accounts and the clients then reimburse us for operating expenses and pay our management fee subsequent to month-end. Some clients require a segregated account for the receipts and disbursements at locations. Our working capital and liquidity may be adversely affected if a significant number of our clients require us to deposit all parking revenues into their respective accounts.

 

Gross daily collections are collected by us and deposited into banks using one of three methods, which impact our investment in working capital:

 

                  locations with revenues deposited into our bank accounts reduce our investment in working capital,

 

                  locations that have segregated accounts generally require no investment in working capital, and

 

                  accounts where the revenues are deposited into the clients’ accounts increase our investment in working capital.

 

Our average investment in working capital depends on our contract mix. For example, an increase in contracts that require all cash

 

20



 

deposited in our bank accounts reduces our investment in working capital and improves our liquidity. During the first six months of 2004 and the first six months of 2003, there were no material changes in these types of contracts. In addition, our clients may accelerate monthly distributions to them and have an estimated distribution occur in the current month. During the first six months of 2004 and the first six months of 2003, there were no material changes in the timing of current month distributions.

 

Our liquidity also fluctuates on an intra-month and intra-year basis depending on the contract mix and timing of significant cash payments, such as our scheduled interest payments on our notes. Additionally, our ability to utilize cash deposited into our local accounts is dependent upon the availability and movement of that cash into our corporate account. For all these reasons, we, from time to time, carry a significant cash balance, while also utilizing our senior credit facility.

 

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities totaled $4.3 million for the first six months of 2004. Cash used during the first six months of 2004 included an increase in accounts receivable of $1.9 million, a net decrease in accrued liabilities of $5.7 million primarily related to the interest payment of $2.3 million on the senior subordinated notes, $2.6 million of interest on the 14% Notes, which is the final interest payment on the 14% Notes and in conjunction with our IPO we paid $1.6 million of interest premium on the 14% Notes, $0.8 million of interest previously deferred on the term loan, $0.6 million of prepayment penalty on the old senior credit facility, $0.3 million in professional fees related to the exchange of debt and $0.3 million used for purchasing an option related to our common stock which was partially offset by an increase in accounts payable of $1.5 million.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $8.0 million for the first six months of 2003. Cash provided during the first six months of 2003 included $12.0 million from the return of funds held in a trust by our casualty insurance carrier, which was exchanged for a letter of credit in the same amount and a decrease in prepaid and other assets of $2.5 million, which were offset by $5.3 million in interest payments on the senior subordinated notes, an increase in accounts receivable of $3.4 million and a decrease in accounts payable of $1.1 million.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $1.1 million in the first six months of 2004. Cash used in investing for 2004 included capital expenditures of $0.6 million for capital investments needed to secure and/or extend leased facilities, investment in information system enhancements and infrastructure and $0.5 million for contingent payments on previously acquired contracts.

 

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $0.6 million for the first six months of 2003. Cash used in investing for the first six months of 2003 resulted from capital purchases to secure and/or extend leased facilities and investments in management information system enhancements of $0.3 million and contingent purchase payments on previously acquired contracts of $0.3 million

 

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $5.3 million in the first six months of 2004. The 2004 activity included $47.0 million in net proceeds from the initial public offering, $25.0 million in borrowings on the senior credit facility offset by cash used of $57.7 million for repurchase of the 14% senior subordinated second lien notes, $6.3 million used for the purchase of common stock subject to put/call rights, $1.3 million used for debt issuance costs on the new senior credit facility, $1.1 million used for payments on capital leases and $0.3 million for cash used on joint venture and other long-term borrowings.

 

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $7.6 million in the first six months of 2003. The 2003 activity included $5.8 million in payments on the senior credit facility, $1.2 million on capital lease payments, $0.5 million in debt issuance costs and repayments on joint venture borrowings of $0.4 million.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

We had cash and cash equivalents of $8.3 million at June 30, 2004, compared to $8.5 million at December 31, 2003.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” discusses our 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

 

21



 

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 our current judgments and estimates.

 

This listing of critical accounting policies is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our 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. We believe that of our significant accounting policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity:

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

 

As of June 30, 2004, our net long-lived assets were comprised primarily of $14.0 million of property, equipment and leasehold improvements and $2.0 million of contract and lease rights. In accounting for our long-lived assets, other than goodwill, we apply the provisions of SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of.” As of June 30, 2004, we had $117.7 million of goodwill.

 

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 utilizes 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. For the year ended December 31, 2003, and for the six month period ended June 30, 2004, we were not required to record any impairment charges related to long-lived assets or to goodwill. Future events may indicate differences from our judgments and estimates which could, in turn, result in impairment charges in the future. Future events that may result in impairment charges include increases in interest rates, which would 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. Factors that could potentially have an unfavorable economic effect on our judgments and estimates include, among others: changes imposed by governmental and regulatory agencies, such as property condemnations and assessment of parking-related taxes; construction or other events that could change traffic patterns; and terrorism or other catastrophic events.

 

Insurance Reserves

 

We purchase comprehensive casualty insurance (including, without limitation, general liability, garage-keepers legal liability, worker’s compensation and umbrella/excess liability insurance) covering certain claims that occur at parking facilities we lease or manage. Under our various liability and workers’ compensation insurance policies, we are obligated to reimburse the insurance carrier for the first $250,000 of any loss. As a result, we are, in effect, self-insured for all claims up to the deductible levels. We also are self-insured for up to $125,000 per year per covered individual in eligible medical expenses incurred by certain employees and family members who receive medical coverage through us. We apply the provisions of SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, in determining the timing and amount of expense recognition associated with claims against us. The expense recognition is based upon our determination of an unfavorable outcome of a claim being deemed as probable and reasonably estimated, 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 an expense. We utilize historical claims experience along with regular input from third party insurance advisors and actuaries in determining the required level of insurance reserves. Future information regarding historical loss experience may require changes to the level of insurance reserves and could result in increased expense recognition in the future.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

We report accounts receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, to represent our estimate of the amount that ultimately will be realized in cash. Management reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends, aging of receivables, and a review of specific accounts, and makes adjustments in the allowance as necessary. Changes in economic conditions or other circumstances could have an impact on the collection of existing receivable balances or future allowance considerations.

 

Litigation

 

We are subject to litigation in the normal course of our business. We apply the provisions of SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” in determining the timing and amount of expense recognition associated with legal claims against us. Management uses guidance from internal and external legal counsel on the potential outcome of litigation in determining the need to record liabilities for potential losses and the disclosure of pending legal claims. See Note L of the notes to consolidated financial statements included in our

annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Interest Rates

 

Our primary market risk exposure consists of risk related to changes in interest rates. Historically, we have not used derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

 

Our new $90.0 million senior credit facility provides for a $90.0 million revolving variable rate senior credit facility. Interest expense on such borrowing is sensitive to changes in the market rate of interest. If we were to borrow the entire $90.0 million available under the facility, a 1% increase in the average market rate would result in an increase in our annual interest expense of $0.9 million.

 

This amount is determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost, but does not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic 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 our financial structure.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

Our exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal. All foreign investments are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the exception of Canada. We had approximately $2.7 million and $0.3 million of Canadian dollar denominated cash and debt instruments, respectively, at June 30, 2004. We do not hold any hedging instruments related to foreign currency transactions. We monitor foreign currency positions and may enter into certain hedging instruments in the future should we determine that exposure to foreign exchange risk has increased.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Within the 90-day period prior to the filing date of this report, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective and designed to ensure that material information relating to us (including our consolidated subsidiaries) required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

There were no significant changes in our internal controls or any other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation referred to above.
