The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC should be read in conjunction with the consolidated condensed financial statements and the notes to those statements included elsewhere herein. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties and are made under the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Words such as anticipates, expects, intends, plans, believes, seeks, estimates, and similar expressions identify such forward-looking statements. Our actual results and timing of certain events could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including, but not limited to, those set forth under Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Unless required by law, we can undertake no obligation to update forward-looking statements. Readers should also carefully review the risk factors set forth in other reports and documents filed from time to time with the SEC.
Except as otherwise specified, Macquarie Infrastructure Company, MIC, we, us, and our refer to the Company and its subsidiaries together from June 25, 2007 and, prior to that date, to the Trust, the Company and its subsidiaries. Macquarie Infrastructure Management (USA) Inc., which we refer to as our Manager, is part of the Macquarie Group, comprised of Macquarie Group Limited and its subsidiaries and affiliates worldwide.
We own, operate and invest in a diversified group of infrastructure businesses that provide basic services, such as gas utility services to businesses and individuals primarily in the U.S. The businesses we own and operate include:
| International Matex Tank Terminals or IMTT: a 50% interest in a bulk liquid storage terminal business, which provides bulk liquid storage and handling services at ten marine terminals in the United States and two in Canada and is one of the largest participants in this industry in the U.S., based on storage capacity; |
| Hawaii Gas: a full-service gas energy company processing and distributing gas products and providing related services in Hawaii; |
| District Energy: a 50.01% controlling interest in a district energy business, which operates among the largest district cooling systems in the U.S., serving various customers in Chicago, Illinois and Las Vegas, Nevada; |
| Atlantic Aviation: an airport services business providing products and services, including fuel and aircraft hangaring/parking, to owners and operators of general aviation aircraft at 62 airports in the U.S.; and |
| MIC Solar Energy Holdings or MIC Solar: interests in two contracted solar power generation facilities located in the southwest U.S. that will provide 30 megawatts of wholesale electricity to utilities. |
Our infrastructure businesses generally operate in sectors with limited direct competition and significant barriers to entry, including high initial development and construction costs, the existence of long-term contracts or the requirement to obtain government approvals and a lack of immediate cost-efficient alternatives to the services provided. Overall they tend to generate sustainable long-term cash flows.
In analyzing the financial condition and results of operations of our businesses, we focus primarily on cash generation, and our ability to distribute cash to shareholders in particular. The ability of our businesses to generate cash, broadly, is tied to their ability to effectively manage the volume of products/services sold and the margin earned on those sales. Offsetting these are required payments on debt facilities, taxes and capital expenditures necessary to maintain the productivity of the fixed assets of the businesses, among others.
1
At IMTT, we focus on the amount of storage under contract and the rates at which that storage is leased to third parties and on making appropriate expenditures in maintaining fixed assets of the business. We believe that the average rates on all storage contracts will increase by between 5% and 7% in 2013. Capacity utilization is expected to decrease modestly during 2013 as a result of certain large storage tanks being taken out of service for cleaning and inspection. The decrease associated with this activity is expected to be partially offset by the commissioning of new storage capacity currently or soon to be under construction.
At Hawaii Gas, our focus is on the number of customers served by each of the utility and non-utility portions of the business, and in the case of the non-utility portion, the margins achieved on gas sales as well. Hawaii Gas has an active marketing program that seeks to develop new customers throughout Hawaii. We periodically pursue rate cases that allow for adjustment of the rates in the utility portion of the business, although we do not intend to pursue any significant rate case in 2013. The pricing of non-utility gas is adjusted to reflect changes in the cost of the product and costs associated with delivering it to customers. In addition to the existing utility and non-utility operations, Hawaii Gas is advancing initiatives related to the distribution of Liquefied Natural Gas, or LNG. Small-scale deliveries of LNG to Hawaii from the U.S. mainland are expected to begin in 2013. Variation in the volume of gas sold by Hawaii Gas is a function of tourism and economic activity in Hawaii generally. We expect the volume of gas sold in 2013 to increase compared with 2012 despite the increase in conservation and substitution.
At District Energy, we focus on attracting and maintaining relationships with building owners and managers such that they choose to install or continue to use the business cooling services. Financial results are subject to slight variation based on the extent to which the temperatures and humidity in Chicago are above or below historic norms.
We believe that our recent investment in MIC Solar will generate a predictable and stable level of distributable cash. MIC Solar constitutes a business segment that does not meet the threshold of a reportable segment. Accordingly, the results of operations of MIC Solar are aggregated with our Corporate and Other results. We are reviewing similar investment opportunities and believe that we could potentially deploy additional capital in this segment over the medium term.
IMTT, Hawaii Gas, District Energy and MIC Solar are largely resistant to economic downturns, primarily due to the contracted or utility-like nature of their revenues. The results for these businesses also reflect the essential services they provide and the contractual or regulatory ability to pass most cost increases through to customers. We believe these businesses are characteristically able to generate consistent cash flows throughout the business cycle.
At Atlantic Aviation, our focus is on attracting and maintaining relationships with general aviation aircraft owners and pilots such that they are incentivized to use our FBOs. General aviation activity has improved since the quarter ended March 31, 2009, although forecasting flight activity levels remains a challenge. We believe that flight activity levels will continue to increase in 2013, subject to continued economic growth in the United States.
Improvement in general aviation flight activity levels has resulted in improvement in the operating performance of Atlantic Aviation for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the prior comparable quarter. Atlantic Aviation is generating a substantial amount of cash; however, through the end of the first quarter, the cash is being used to reduce Atlantic Aviations indebtedness. Those repayments are expected to enhance the terms on which we may be able to refinance this debt. We have previously indicated that we expect to refinance all of the long-term debt of Atlantic Aviation prior to the end of the second quarter of 2013.

Since January 1, 2012, MIC has paid or declared the following dividends:

February 1, 2012 | Fourth quarter 2011 | $ | 0.20 | March 5, 2012 | March 8, 2012 |
Our Board has previously expressed its intent to distribute a significant portion of the cash generated by our businesses to our shareholders in the form of a quarterly cash dividend. Not all of the cash flow generated by our businesses is currently available for distribution. The payment of a quarterly cash dividend of $0.6875 per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 is being paid out of cash generated by certain of our operating entities, supplemented by cash on hand at the MIC holding company. Following the anticipated refinancing of Atlantic Aviations long-term debt in the second quarter of 2013, if consummated, and contingent upon the continued stable performance of MICs businesses and acceptable economic conditions, our Board will consider increasing the amount of the quarterly cash dividend to $0.875 per share.
In determining whether to change the dividend, the Board will take into account such matters as the state of the capital markets and general business conditions, the Companys financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements and any contractual, legal and regulatory restrictions on the payment of dividends by the Company to its shareholders or by its subsidiaries to the Company, and any other factors that it deems relevant. In particular, each of the Companys businesses and investments have substantial debt commitments and restrictive covenants, which must be satisfied before any of them can make distributions to the Company. Any or all of these factors could affect both the timing and amount, if any, of future dividends.
We view MIC as a total return investment opportunity. Consistent with that view, we intend to distribute a significant portion of the cash flow generated by our businesses, after providing for taxes, debt service and maintenance capital expenditure of these businesses, in the form of a quarterly cash dividend. We believe that over time we will distribute approximately 80% to 85% of the free cash flow (in proportion to our equity interest) generated by our businesses, subject to their continued stable performance and prevailing economic conditions. See Results of Operations Consolidated: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) excluding non-cash items and Free Cash Flow and Summary of Our Proportionately Combined Results for further discussions on free cash flow and our proportionately combined financial measures in Part I of this Form 10-Q.
We further believe that the growth characteristics of our businesses will permit our distributable cash flow per share to grow at a high single-digit rate annually over the medium term, again subject to the continued stable performance of our businesses. From 2007 to 2012, our distributable cash flow per share has increased by 12.5% per year. We believe that our cash dividend, combined with the potential for capital appreciation stemming from the growth drivers in each of our businesses, supports our view of the Company as a total return investment opportunity.
MIC has announced a proposed equity offering and a debt financing commitment letter to refinance Atlantic Aviations existing credit facility. The equity offering, if completed, is expected to impact the amount of our quarterly cash dividend. The capital we propose to raise, along with the proceeds of the proposed New Atlantic Aviation Credit Facility and cash on hand, will be used to refinance the long-term debt of our Atlantic Aviation business. If the proposed refinancing is completed on the terms described, Atlantic Aviation will no longer be required by the terms of Atlantic Aviations debt to use the cash generated by it to reduce its debt (except in limited circumstances) and, assuming no material change in the performance of our businesses and subject to prevailing economic conditions, we expect to have access to a larger amount of free cash flow generated by our businesses.
3
We intend to use a portion of the expected increase in available free cash flow to fund an increase in our quarterly cash dividend. We anticipate, subject to the completion of the refinancing, the continued stable performance of our businesses and investments and prevailing economic conditions, that we will increase our quarterly cash dividend to $3.50 per share, annualized, from $2.75 per share, annualized, effective with the dividend expected to be authorized for the second quarter of 2013.
On April 8, 2013, the Company filed an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (shelf) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue and sell an indeterminate amount of its LLC interests and debt securities in one or more future offerings. Along with the shelf registration statement, the Company filed a prospectus supplement with respect to a dividend reinvestment/direct stock purchase program named MIC Direct. The prospectus supplement relates to the issuance of up to 1.0 million additional LLC interests of MIC to participants in MIC Direct. The Company may also choose to fill requests for reinvestment of dividends or share purchases through MIC Direct via open market purchases.
We file a consolidated federal income tax return that includes the taxable income of Hawaii Gas and Atlantic Aviation. IMTT and District Energy file separate federal income tax returns.
As a result of having federal net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards, we do not expect to make regular federal tax payments until 2016. However, we expect to pay an Alternative Minimum Tax of approximately $1.3 million for 2013. In addition, we expect District Energy to pay an Alternative Minimum Tax of approximately $91,000. We expect that the Alternative Minimum Tax paid for 2013 will be available as a credit against regular federal income taxes in the future. The cash state and local taxes paid by our individual businesses are discussed in the sections entitled Income Taxes for each of these businesses.
Pursuant to tax sharing agreements, the individual businesses included in our consolidated federal income tax return pay MIC an amount equal to the federal income taxes each would have paid on a standalone basis as if they were not part of the MIC consolidated federal income tax return.
In January of 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the 2012 Tax Act) was signed. The 2012 Act extends the period over which the 50% bonus depreciation provided for in the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization Act of 2010 (the 2010 Tax Act) applies to include 2013. The Company expects to take the bonus depreciation provision into consideration when evaluating its maintenance and growth capital expenditure plans for 2013.

(1) | Interest expense includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $1.1 million and $6.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. |
Consolidated gross profit increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 reflecting improved results in the non-utility business at Hawaii Gas and an increase in non-fuel gross profit at Atlantic Aviation. The increase in gross profit also reflects the contracted revenues generated by MIC Solar. The increase was partially offset by the decrease in cooling consumption revenue at District Energy.
5
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 primarily as a result of lower legal costs at the MIC holding company level, most significantly those incurred in connection with the arbitration and related matters involving MIC and its IMTT co-investor incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses also reflects divestures at Atlantic Aviation.
Our Manager is entitled to a quarterly base management fee based primarily on our market capitalization, and potentially a performance fee, based on the performance of our stock relative to a U.S. utilities index. For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we incurred base management fees of $7.1 million and performance fees of $22.0 million payable to our Manager. Our Manager elected to reinvest the base management fees and performance fees in additional LLC interests. Our Manager did not earn a performance fee for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
The unpaid portion of the base management fees and performance fees at the end of each reporting period is included in due to manager-related party in the consolidated condensed balance sheets. The following table shows our Managers election to reinvest its quarterly base management fees and performance fees, if any, in additional LLC interests:

Depreciation expense increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 primarily as a result of projects undertaken by MIC Solar.
Interest expense includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $1.1 million and $6.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Non-cash losses on derivatives recorded in interest expense are attributable to the change in fair value of interest rate instruments and include the reclassification of amounts from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings. Excluding the portion related to adjustments to derivative instruments and interest rate swap breakage fees at Atlantic Aviation, interest expense decreased primarily due to the expiration of interest rate swaps at Atlantic Aviation in October of 2012 and lower principal balance on the term loan debt.
The increase in equity in the earnings for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 primarily reflects our share of the improved operating results and our share of the non-cash derivative gains for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with our share of the non-cash derivative losses for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 from IMTT.
6
We file a consolidated federal income tax return that includes the taxable income of Hawaii Gas and Atlantic Aviation. IMTT and District Energy file separate federal income tax returns. We own less than 80% of IMTT and District Energy. These businesses are not included in our consolidated federal tax return. These businesses file separate federal income tax returns.
For 2013, we expect any consolidated taxable income to be fully offset by our NOL carryforwards. At December 31, 2012, our federal NOL balance was $192.2 million. This balance excludes the NOL carryforwards of District Energy (see District Energy Income Taxes below), which was $9.8 million at December 31, 2012. We expect to pay a federal Alternative Minimum Tax of approximately $1.3 million and District Energy to pay a Federal Alternative Minimum Tax of approximately $91,000 for 2013.
For 2013, our federal and state income taxes will be approximately $35.8 million, or 40.14% of net income before taxes, of which $7.4 million relates to state and local income taxes. As discussed below, the provision for state and local income taxes includes a valuation allowance of approximately $1.6 million for the use of certain state NOL carryforwards. The difference between our effective tax rate and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% is primarily attributable to state and local income taxes and adjustments for our less than 80% owned businesses.
In calculating our consolidated state income tax provision, we have provided a valuation allowance for certain state income tax NOL carryforwards, the utilization of which is not assured beyond a reasonable doubt. In addition, we expect to incur certain expenses that will not be deductible in determining state taxable income. Accordingly, these expenses have also been excluded in determining our state income tax expense.
We expect our valuation allowance to increase by approximately $1.6 million in 2013. The increase in valuation allowance in 2012 for state NOLs was $3.0 million.
We have disclosed EBITDA excluding non-cash items for our Company and each of our operating segments in Note 10, Reportable Segments, in our consolidated condensed financial statements, as a key performance metric relied on by management in evaluating our performance. EBITDA excluding non-cash items is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash items, which includes impairments, derivative gains and losses and adjustments for other non-cash items reflected in the statements of operations. We believe EBITDA excluding non-cash items provides additional insight into the performance of our operating businesses relative to each other and similar businesses without regard to their capital structure, and their ability to service or reduce debt, fund capital expenditures and/or support distributions to the holding company.
We also disclose Free Cash Flow, as defined by us, as a means of assessing the amount of cash generated by our businesses and supplementing other information provided in accordance with GAAP. We define Free Cash Flow as cash from operating activities, which includes cash paid for interest and taxes, less maintenance capital expenditures and changes in working capital, except for MIC Solar, for which we define Free Cash Flow as distributions received or receivable from this business. Determining our proportionate share of free cash flow from MIC Solar, as defined by us historically, is difficult due to the variable ownership interests and different treatment of tax attributes and actual cash flows between the MIC Solar members over time. Therefore, we believe the most appropriate measure of our proportionate share of free cash flow from MIC Solar is the actual cash distributions allocated during the applicable period.
We believe that reporting Free Cash Flow will provide our investors with additional insight into our future ability to deploy cash, as GAAP metrics such as net income and cash from operating activities do not reflect all of the items that our management considers in estimating the amount of cash generated by our operating entities. In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have disclosed Free Cash Flow for our consolidated results and for each of our operating segments.
7
We note that Free Cash Flow does not fully reflect our ability to freely deploy generated cash, as it does not reflect required payments to be made on our indebtedness and other fixed obligations or the other cash items excluded when calculating Free Cash Flow. We also note that Free Cash Flow may be calculated in a different manner by other companies, which limits its usefulness as a comparative measure. Therefore, our Free Cash Flow should be used as a supplemental measure and not in lieu of our financial results reported under GAAP.

| the planned reduction in tank utilization for tank cleaning and inspection; |
| higher expenses, primarily related to Hurricane Sandy repairs; and |
| an increase in environmental gross profit due to an increase in the level of spill response activity. |

The increase in terminal revenue primarily reflects growth in storage revenue and revenue from ancillary services. Storage revenue grew due to an increase in average rental rates of 6.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and an increase in average storage capacity of 1.3 million barrels as a result of the completion of various growth capital projects. MIC believes that full year average storage rates in 2013 will increase between 5% and 7%.
As planned, capacity utilization declined to 92.7% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 from 95.9% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 due to the timing and increased size of tanks currently out of service for cleaning and inspection.
Terminal operating costs were higher for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 primarily due to Hurricane Sandy and healthcare costs.
Gross profit from environmental response services increased due to a higher level of spill response activity during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
General and administrative expenses increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 primarily due to an increase in costs as a result of the increased spill response activity.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 as IMTT placed capital assets in service, resulting in higher asset balances.
Interest expense, net, includes non-cash gains on derivative instruments of $31,000 and non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $2.0 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Excluding the portion related to adjustments to derivative instruments, interest expense increased primarily due to an increase in debt balance for the period. Cash interest paid was $8.8 million and $8.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The business files a consolidated federal income tax return and state income tax returns in the states in which IMTT operates.
For the year ending December 31, 2013, IMTT expects to pay $3.9 million of federal income taxes and $4.0 million of state income taxes. IMTTs actual federal tax liability could be higher or lower depending on the cost of the capital assets placed in service during the year, the ultimate amount of Hurricane Sandy repairs and the extent to which IMTT is able to realize the benefits of bonus depreciation on those assets. The Provision for income taxes, net of changes in deferred taxes of $1.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 in the table above, includes $692,000 of federal income taxes and $1.0 million of state income taxes.
11
For the full year 2012, IMTT recorded $40.8 million of federal income tax expense and $10.5 million of state income tax expense. This includes $13.4 million and $4.5 million of current federal and state income taxes, respectively. The federal income tax expense exceeded the cash taxes primarily due to the benefit of accelerated tax depreciation, which is discussed below.
A significant difference between IMTTs book and federal taxable income relates to depreciation of terminalling fixed assets. For book purposes, these fixed assets are depreciated primarily over 15 to 30 years using the straight-line method of depreciation. For federal income tax purposes, these fixed assets are depreciated primarily over 5 to 15 years using accelerated methods. Most terminalling fixed assets placed in service in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 did or should qualify for the federal 50% or 100% bonus tax depreciation, except assets placed in service in Louisiana and financed with Gulf Opportunity Zone Bonds (GO Zone Bonds). A significant portion of Louisiana terminalling fixed assets constructed since Hurricane Katrina were financed with GO Zone Bonds. GO Zone Bond financed assets are depreciated, for tax purposes, primarily over 9 to 20 years using the straight-line depreciation method. Most of the states in which the business operates do not allow the use of the federal tax depreciation calculation methods.
Management believes that the presentation and analysis of contribution margin, a non-GAAP performance measure, is meaningful to understanding the business performance under both a utility rate structure and a non-utility unregulated pricing structure. Regulation of the utility portion of Hawaii Gass operations provides for the pass through of increases or decreases in feedstock costs to customers. Changes in the cost of Liquefied Petroleum Gas, or LPG, distributed to non-utility customers can be recovered in pricing, subject to competitive conditions.
Contribution margin should not be considered an alternative to revenue, gross profit, operating income, or net income, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of contribution margin to gross profit is presented in the below table. The business calculates contribution margin as revenue less direct costs of revenue other than production and transmission and distribution costs. Other companies may calculate contribution margin differently or may use different metrics and, therefore, the contribution margin presented for Hawaii Gas is not necessarily comparable with metrics of other companies.
| an increase in non-utility contribution margin driven by an increase in the volume of gas sold and margin management; and |
| an increase in utility contribution margin driven by an increase in the volume of gas sold; partially offset by |
| higher operating costs primarily due to an increase in marketing and advertising, salaries and wages and costs associated with the LNG initiative. |

Non-utility contribution margin improved for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as the result of an increase in the volume of gas sold and margin management. The volume of gas sold by the non-utility business increased by 2.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
Utility contribution margin improved for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as the result of an increase in the volume of gas sold. The volume of gas sold by the utility business increased by 1.7% compared with the prior comparable quarter.
Tesoro has indicated that it will close its Hawaii refinery at the end of April of 2013. Tesoro has issued termination notices to Hawaii Gas with respect to the supply of naphtha feedstock and LPG when the refinery closes. Post the refinery closure, Tesoro has agreed to supply Hawaii Gas with naphtha feedstock through mid-July based on the same pricing as the existing supply agreement. Hawaii Gas is currently in discussions to secure naphtha and terminalling arrangements on a longer-term basis and expects to have agreements in place during the second quarter of 2013. Subject to the receipt of any applicable HPUC approvals, Hawaii Gas intends to recover any increases in the costs of such feedstock via its fuel adjustment mechanism.
Hawaii Gas has also secured additional supplies of LPG from its foreign supplier and has signed a three year supply agreement. Hawaii Gas expects that it will maintain its contribution margin in the near term.
Tesoro has indicated that it intends to convert the refinery to an import, storage and distribution terminal. If Tesoro is unsuccessful or does not receive the appropriate authorizations to convert the refinery to an import, storage and distribution terminal, Hawaii Gas may have to construct storage capacity and supporting infrastructure sufficient to ensure its supply of feedstock.
Hawaii Gas is moving forward with the initiative that will allow it to use LNG as a back-up fuel to serve its customers. This initiative to use LNG on at least a small scale is expected to begin in 2013, subject to the receipt of any applicable HPUC approvals.
Production, transmission and distribution and selling, general and administrative expenses are composed primarily of labor related expenses and professional fees. On a combined basis, these costs were higher for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 primarily due to an increase in marketing and advertising, salaries and wages and costs associated with the LNG initiative.
Interest expense, net, includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $529,000 and $1.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Excluding the portion related to adjustments to derivative instruments, interest expense decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 due to lower interest rates from the refinancings that occurred in August of 2012. Cash interest paid was $1.7 million and $2.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Income from Hawaii Gas is included in our consolidated federal income tax return, and is subject to Hawaii state income taxes. The tax expense in the table above includes both state taxes and the portion of the consolidated federal tax liability attributable to the business. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the business expects to pay state income taxes of approximately $1.9 million. The Provision for income taxes, net of changes in deferred taxes of $3.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 in the above table, includes $2.6 million of federal income taxes payable to MIC and $498,000 of state income taxes. Any current federal income tax liability is expected to be offset in consolidation by the application of NOLs.
The business federal taxable income differs from book income primarily as a result of differences in the depreciation of fixed assets. The state of Hawaii does not allow the federal bonus depreciation deduction of 50% for 2012 and 2013 in determining state taxable income.

Customers of District Energy pay two charges to receive chilled water services: a fixed charge based on contracted capacity and a variable charge based on the consumption of chilled water. Capacity charges are typically adjusted annually at a fixed rate or are based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The terms of the business customer contracts provide for the pass through of increases or decreases in electricity costs, the largest component of the business direct expenses.
The financial results discussed below reflect 100% of District Energys performance during the periods presented below.
| a decrease in consumption revenue, net of electricity costs, driven by cooler average temperatures; and |
| an increase in other direct expenses due to the timing of off-season maintenance expense; partially offset by |
| an increase in capacity revenue from new customers and annual inflation-linked increases in contract capacity rates. |

Gross profit decreased primarily as a result of cooler average temperatures during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with quarter ended March 31, 2012 resulting in lower consumption revenue, net of electricity costs. As previously disclosed, the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was abnormally warm. Other direct expenses increased due to the timing of off-season maintenance expense for system reliability. A greater percentage of the business off-season maintenance was conducted during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Conversely, cooling capacity revenue increased with new customers and annual inflation-related increases in contract capacity rates in accordance with customer contract terms.
Interest expense, net, includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $505,000 and $1.4 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Excluding the portion related to adjustments to derivative instruments, interest was lower for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to the lower debt balance. Cash interest paid was $2.4 million for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
District Energy files a separate federal income tax return and a separate Illinois state income tax return. As of December 31, 2012, the business had approximately $9.8 million in federal NOL carryforwards available to offset positive taxable income and $23.3 million in Illinois state NOL carryforwards, for which utilization is deferred until 2015. For 2013, District Energy expects to pay a federal Alternative Minimum Tax of approximately $91,000 and state income taxes of approximately $478,000. The Provision/benefit for income taxes, net of changes in deferred taxes of $203,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 in the above table, includes $33,000 of federal income taxes and $170,000 of state income taxes. The business does not expect to pay regular federal income taxes in 2013 due to the utilization of NOL carryforwards.
The business federal taxable income differs from book income primarily as a result of differences in the depreciation of fixed assets. The state of Illinois does not allow the federal bonus depreciation deduction of 50% for 2012 and 2013 in determining state taxable income.

The majority of the revenue and gross profit earned by Atlantic Aviation is generated through fueling GA aircraft at facilities located at 62 U.S. airports at which Atlantic Aviation operates. Revenue is categorized according to who owns the fuel used to service these aircraft. If Atlantic Aviation owns the fuel, it records the cost to purchase that fuel as cost of revenue-fuel. The business corresponding fuel revenue is its cost to purchase that fuel plus a margin. The business generally pursues a strategy of maintaining, and where appropriate increasing, dollar-based margins. Generally, fluctuations in the cost of fuel are passed through to the customer.
Atlantic Aviation also has into-plane arrangements whereby it fuels aircraft with fuel owned by another party. It collects a fee for this service that is recorded as non-fuel revenue. Non-fuel revenue also includes various services such as hangar rentals, de-icing, landing fees, tie-down fees and miscellaneous services.
The business fuel-related revenue and gross profit are driven by the volume of fuel sold and dollar-based margin/fee per gallon. This applies to both fuel and into-plane revenue. Customers will sometimes move from one category to the other.
Management believes discussing total fuel-related revenue and gross profit, including both fuel sales and into-plane arrangements (as recorded in the non-fuel revenue line) and related key metrics on an aggregate basis, provides a more meaningful analysis of Atlantic Aviations gross profit than a discussion of each item. For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the business derived 62.4% of total gross profit from fuel and fuel-related services compared with 64.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.
The increase in gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was the result of increased rental revenue and de-icing gross profit, partially offset by lower fuel gross profit. Rental revenue increased by 6.1% and de-icing gross profit increased by 84.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012. GA related-fuel gross profit decreased by 0.9% over the same comparable period.
On a same store basis, total gross profit increased by 4.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012. On a same store basis, the volume of GA fuel sold increased by 3.2% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 and GA average fuel margin was flat for the same period.
Atlantic Aviation continues to seek lease extensions prior to maturity and to increase the portfolios weighted average lease life. The weighted average lease life was 18.8 years at March 31, 2013 as compared with 17.7 years at March 31, 2012.
Selling, general and administrative expenses were lower by 1.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 due primarily to divestures.
Interest expense, net, includes non-cash losses on derivative instruments of $26,000 and $3.7 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In connection with the debt payments, Atlantic Aviation incurred interest rate swap breakage fees prior to its maturity in October of 2012. Cash paid for interest rate swap breakage fees was $248,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Excluding the portion related to adjustments to derivative instruments and interest rate swap breakage fees, interest expense decreased from the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to the quarter ended March 31, 2013 primarily due to the expiration of interest rate swaps in October of 2012 and lower principal balance on the term loan debt.
Excluding interest rate swap breakage fees, cash interest paid was $3.3 million and $12.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Income generated by Atlantic Aviation is included in our consolidated federal income tax return. The business files state income tax returns in more than 30 states in which it operates. The tax expense in the table above includes both state taxes and the portion of the consolidated federal tax liability attributable to the business.
At December 31, 2012, Atlantic Aviation had $37.0 million of state NOL carryforwards. State NOL carryforwards are specific to the state in which the NOL was generated and various states impose limitations on the utilization of NOL carryforwards. Therefore, the business may incur state income tax liabilities in the future, even if its consolidated state taxable income is less than $37.0 million.
For 2013, the business expects to pay state income taxes of approximately $3.3 million. The Provision for income taxes, net of changes in deferred taxes of $4.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 in the above table, includes $3.2 million of federal income taxes payable to MIC and $868,000 of state income taxes. Any current federal income tax liability is expected to be offset in consolidation by the application of NOLs.

We believe that our proportionately combined metrics, including proportionately combined gross profit, proportionately combined EBITDA excluding non-cash, proportionately combined cash interest, proportionately combined cash taxes, proportionately combined maintenance capital expenditures, proportionately combined free cash flow, proportionately combined free cash flow per share, proportionately combined growth capital expenditures, and proportionately combined net debt, provide our investors and management with additional insight into the financial results and cash generated by our combined ownership interest in our businesses and investments for the reporting period. Given the nature of the businesses we own and our different ownership level in these businesses, management believes that GAAP measures such as net income and cash from operating activities do not fully reflect all of the items that our management considers in assessing the amount of cash generated by our ownership interest in our businesses and investments.
We note that proportionately combined metrics used by us may be calculated in a different manner by other companies, which may limit their usefulness as a comparative measure. Therefore, our proportionately combined metrics should be used as a supplement to, and not in lieu of, of our financial results reported under GAAP.
Our proportionately combined financial measures are those attributable to MICs ownership interest in each of our operating businesses and MIC Corporate. The following tables represent our proportionately combined share of gross profit, EBITDA excluding non-cash items and free cash flow. The gross profit, EBITDA excluding non-cash items and free cash flows are derived from the Results of Operations of our investments and businesses described above.

Our primary cash requirements include normal operating expenses, debt service, debt principal payments, payments of dividends and capital expenditures. Our primary source of cash is operating activities, although we may borrow against credit facilities for capital expenditures, issue additional LLC interests or sell assets to generate cash.
We believe that our operating businesses will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to meet future requirements, including servicing long-term debt obligations and making distributions to MIC. We base our assessment of the sufficiency of the liquidity and capital resources on the assumptions that:
| our businesses and investments overall generate, and are expected to continue to generate, significant operating cash flow; |
| the ongoing capital expenditures associated with our businesses are readily funded from their respective operating cash flow or available financing; and |
| we will be able to refinance, extend and/or repay the principal amount of maturing long-term debt on terms that can be supported by our businesses. |
Historically we have capitalized our businesses in large part using project-finance style debt. Project-finance style debt is generally limited-recourse, floating rate, non-amortizing bank debt with a medium term maturity of between five and seven years. Typically, we have sought to ensure that the debt at each business was non-recourse to MIC and that there was no cross-collateralization or cross-guarantees of any debt between our businesses.
More recently, given the openness of the debt markets generally, we have also used slightly longer dated private placement debt as a component of the capital structure of our businesses. For example, in August of 2012, we included $100.0 million of 10-year non-amortizing senior secured notes in the capital structure of Hawaii Gas in connection with the refinancing of its long-term debt.
We may in the future consider other forms of capital, including bank, bond or hybrid debt instruments as a means of financing our businesses.
We are currently paying the principal balance on the long-term debt of our businesses in the following two circumstances:
| Atlantic Aviation we are applying excess cash flow generated by the business to pay principal on its term loan facility; and |
| District Energy we are applying excess cash flow generated by the business to pay the principal balance on its capital expenditure facility and, if fully repaid, its term loan facility. |
23
At present, we have no debt at the MIC holding company level. Rather, we had $143.0 million in readily available cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2013. A portion of our holding company cash is likely to be used to repay debt principal at Atlantic Aviation in an effort to accelerate the achievement of target leverage levels. Any such repayment is expected to facilitate the refinancing of Atlantic Aviations long term debt and the elimination of the cash sweep noted above. The deployment of capital in this manner and the subsequent refinancing of Atlantic Aviation, if successful, are expected to increase our distributable free cash flow and may result in an increase in our quarterly cash dividend.
We may in the future consider borrowing money at the MIC holding company level in circumstances where the cost of capitalizing our businesses, collectively, or the terms and covenants available could be improved as a result. Our use of debt instruments at the holding company level or otherwise depends on multiple factors including but not limited to: the condition of the debt capital markets; the operating performance of our businesses and investments; the near and long term capital needs of our businesses; our ability to stagger debt maturities across our portfolio; and, where applicable, our express or implied debt ratings.
Our financing strategy involves ensuring that we and our businesses maintain appropriate liquidity and access to capital markets, managing our net exposure to floating interest rate volatility, and maintaining a balanced spectrum of debt maturities. Within these parameters, we seek to optimize our borrowing costs and the terms and covenants of our debt facilities.

Consolidated cash provided by operating activities comprises primarily the cash from operations of the businesses we own, as described in each of the business discussions below. The cash flow from our consolidated business operations is partially offset by expenses paid by the holding company, including base management fees and performance fees to the extent paid in cash, professional fees and cost associated with being a public company.
The increase in consolidated cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to:
| decrease in litigation costs and professional fees primarily from the IMTT arbitration and related matters incurred at the holding company level; and |
| lower cash interest paid due to the expiration of interest rate swaps at Atlantic Aviation in October of 2012 and lower principal balances on the term loan debt; partially offset by |
| higher working capital requirements due to increased foreign LPG cargos at Hawaii Gas. |
Distributions from IMTT are reflected in our consolidated cash provided by operating activities only up to our cumulative 50% share of IMTTs earnings recorded since our investment in IMTT. Cumulative distributions in excess of this are reflected in our consolidated cash from investing activities as a return of investment in unconsolidated business.
24
The increase in consolidated cash used in investing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to capital expenditures made by MIC Solar during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Capital expenditures also increased at Atlantic Aviation and District Energy during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The increase was partially offset by lower capital expenditures at Hawaii Gas.
The decrease in consolidated cash used in financing activities for quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was primarily due to:
| an increase in borrowings primarily at Hawaii Gas; |
| timing of the quarterly dividends paid to our shareholders; |
| contribution from noncontrolling interest for MIC Solar; and |
| decrease in distributions to noncontrolling interests; partially offset by |
| higher debt principal payments during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. |
See below for further description of the cash flows related to our businesses.
The following analysis represents 100% of the cash flows of IMTT, rather than just the composition of cash flows that are included in our consolidated cash flows. We believe this is the most appropriate and meaningful approach to discussion of the historical cash flow trends of IMTT. We account for our 50% ownership of this business using the equity method.

Cash provided by operating activities at IMTT is generated primarily from storage rentals and ancillary services that are billed monthly, primarily in advance. Cash used in operating activities is mainly for payroll and benefits costs, maintenance and repair of fixed assets, utilities and professional services, interest payments and payments to tax jurisdictions.
Cash provided by operating activities decreased for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2012, primarily as a result of:
| a tax payment in January of 2013 that was deferred from 2012 as a result of a postponement of time to pay, granted to tax payers by the IRS due to Hurricane Isaac; |
| costs associated with Hurricane Sandy for which insurance reimbursements have not yet been fully received; and |
| higher interest due to a higher drawn debt balance albeit at a lower interest rate; partially offset by |
| improved operating results. |
25
Cash used in investing activities primarily relates to capital expenditures which were higher for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Total cash capital expenditures increased from $37.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $50.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, primarily due to the increase in maintenance capital expenditures. Total capital expenditures, on an accrual basis, increased from $28.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 to $34.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
The 2010 Tax Act provides for 100% bonus tax depreciation for certain fixed assets placed in service after September 8, 2010 and before January 1, 2012, and 50% bonus tax depreciation for certain fixed assets placed in service during 2012 for federal income tax purposes. The 2012 Tax Act extended the qualifying period for 50% bonus tax depreciation to include 2013. Generally, states do not allow this bonus tax depreciation deduction in determining state taxable income. Importantly, Louisiana, in which IMTT has significant operations, does permit the use of federal tax depreciation in calculating state taxable income.
IMTT incurs maintenance capital expenditures to prolong the useful lives of existing revenue-producing assets and environmental capital expenditures to comply with regulatory requirements. Maintenance and environmental capital expenditures include the refurbishment of storage tanks, piping, dock facilities and environmental capital expenditures, principally in relation to improvements in containment measures and remediation.
During the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, IMTT incurred $19.1 million and $8.1 million, respectively, on maintenance and environmental capital expenditures, of which $5.9 million in 2013 was associated with repairs to the Bayonne terminal as a result of damage from Hurricane Sandy. The balance of the increase is primarily related to the increased size of tanks currently out of service and undergoing planned cleaning and inspection and a number of projects that could not be completed in 2012 due to Hurricane Sandy.
For the full-year 2013, MIC believes IMTT will spend approximately $60.0 million on maintenance capital expenditures. IMTT anticipates that maintenance capital expenditures will remain at elevated levels through 2014 due to required tank cleaning, inspections and regulatory compliance.
IMTT incurred growth capital expenditures of $15.1 million and $20.4 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
In the quarter ended March 31, 2013, IMTT brought into service projects which are estimated to have a total cost of $11.4 million. Together with the $124.0 million of projects completed in 2012, the combined completed projects will contribute $23.0 million of annualized gross profit and EBITDA as outlined in the table below. Notwithstanding that these assets have been placed in service, as at March 31, 2013, an additional $8.8 million is anticipated to be spent on these projects.

At March 31, 2013, IMTT had growth projects with an estimated total cost of $35.3 million underway, including $11.4 million of support infrastructure projects. The projects are expected to generate an additional $9.6 million of annualized gross profit and EBITDA as outlined in the table below. To date, $6.8 million has been spent on these projects.
Anticipated Incremental Gross Profit/EBITDA | Anticipated Cumulative Gross Profit/EBITDA | |||||||
2013 | $ | 3.6 million | $ | 3.6 million | ||||

26
The company is currently evaluating projects with estimated capital expenditures between $100.0 million and $220.0 million, of which $55.0 million has already been approved. Returns on these projects are anticipated to be in line with historical levels.
Support infrastructure is growth capital expenditure that does not directly generate incremental gross profit or EBITDA as it has no contractual revenue stream associated with it. However, it does facilitate the ongoing growth of IMTT. Examples of such projects include new docks and berths, new truck racks and other inter-modal transport facilities and new or improved pumps and piping.
Cash provided by financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with cash used in financing activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 reflects a higher level of net borrowings, partially offset by debt issuance costs for the current period.
At March 31, 2013, the balance on IMTTs total debt facilities was $951.1 million. This consisted of $336.3 million in letter of credit backed tax-exempt bonds, $174.8 million in bank owned tax-exempt bonds, $414.6 million in revolving credit facilities and $25.4 million in shareholder loans. The weighted average interest rate of the outstanding debt facilities, including any interest rate swaps and fees associated with outstanding letters of credit was 4.46%. Cash interest paid was $8.8 million and $8.3 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
On February 15, 2013, IMTT refinanced its revolving credit facility. Among other changes, the refinancing increased the size of the facility from $1,025.0 million to $1,040.0 million. The maturity was extended to February of 2018. The covenant limiting the Debt to EBITDA ratio was increased to 5.00x from 4.75x and the interest rate margins were reduced between 0.25% and 0.50%. A restriction on payments of distributions was added that mirrors the dividend policy of the amended Shareholders Agreement.
On February 15, 2013, IMTT also reissued its GO Zone Bonds III and IV in order to extend the mandatory tender date from December of 2015 to February of 2018, as well as to mirror the amended covenant provisions of the revolving credit facility. Only one lender from the existing issuance did not participate in the reissuance. The departing lenders allocation has since been taken up by other lenders.
Subsequent to the financial close of the revolving credit facility, IMTT has added additional lenders to the syndicate and increased the capacity of the facility from $1,040.0 million to $1,205.0 million. IMTT is in discussion with additional institutions and anticipates further increasing the capacity. The undrawn balance of the revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2013, including these additional lenders on a proforma basis, was $447.2 million.
The financial covenant requirements under IMTT's revolving credit facility, and the calculation of these measures at March 31, 2013, were as follows:
| Leverage Ratio < 5.00x (default threshold). The ratio at March 31, 2013 was 3.75x. |
| Interest Coverage Ratio > 3.00x (default threshold). The ratio at March 31, 2013 was 6.01x. |

The principal source of cash provided by operating activities is customer receipts. The business incurs payments for fuel, materials, pipeline repairs, vendor services and supplies, payroll and benefit costs, revenue based taxes and payment of administrative costs. Customers are generally billed monthly and make payments on account. Vendors and suppliers generally bill the business when services are rendered or when products are shipped.
The decrease in cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was driven primarily by higher working capital due to increased foreign LPG cargos. This was partially offset by higher contribution margin.
Cash used in investing activities is composed primarily of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are funded by drawing on credit facilities as well as cash from operating activities.

Maintenance capital expenditures include replacement of pipeline sections, improvements to the business transmission system and SNG plant, improvements to buildings and other property and the purchase of equipment.
Maintenance capital expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 were lower compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 as a result of spending related to the required pipeline maintenance and inspection projects which were completed in 2012.
Growth capital expenditures include the purchase of meters, regulators and propane tanks for new customers, the cost of installing pipelines for new residential and commercial construction, new product initiatives, the renewable natural gas plant and the expansion of gas storage facilities.
Growth capital expenditures for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 were higher compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 driven mainly by new customer installations, and timing of meter and regulator purchases.
The 2010 Tax Act provides for 100% tax depreciation for certain fixed assets placed in service after September 8, 2010 and before January 1, 2012, and 50% tax depreciation for certain fixed assets placed in service during 2012 for federal income tax purposes. The 2012 Tax Act extended the qualifying period for 50% tax depreciation to include 2013. Generally, states do not allow this tax depreciation deduction in determining state taxable income.
The main drivers of cash provided by financing activities are drawings on facilities for capital expenditures and working capital needs. At March 31, 2013, the balance on the business debt facilities consisted of $180.0 million in term loan and senior secured note borrowings and $20.0 million in revolving credit facility borrowings. The $20.0 million revolving credit facility borrowings consist of: (i) $10.0 million for working capital related to imports of foreign LPG cargos and (ii) $10.0 million to fund a portion of capital expenditures made through March 31, 2013.
28
The operating company has issued $100.0 million of 10-year, non-amortizing senior secured notes. The notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.22%. The operating company has also entered into a $60.0 million, 5-year senior secured revolving credit facility. This facility bears interest at LIBOR + 1.50%. The holding company has entered into an $80.0 million, 5-year, non-amortizing senior secured term loan agreement. The interest rate floats at LIBOR + 2.25%. The floating rate has effectively been fixed for 4 years at 0.64% using an interest rate swap, resulting in a fixed all in rate of 2.89%. The weighted average interest rate of the outstanding debt facilities, including the interest rate swap at March 31, 2013, was 3.44%. Cash interest paid was $1.7 million and $2.2 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The financial covenants precluding distributions under each of the business credit facilities discussed above are as follows:
| 12 month backward interest coverage ratio less than 3.0x; and |
| Leverage ratio (total indebtedness to capitalization ratio) for any fiscal quarter greater than 65.0%. |
At March 31, 2013, the 12 month backward interest coverage ratio was 9.02x at the holding company and 17.56x at the operating company. The leverage ratio at March 31, 2013 was 63.37% at the holding company and 38.05% at the operating company.
Additionally, the HPUC requires the consolidated debt to total capital for the holding company to be less than 65% and that $20.0 million in cash resources be readily available at Hawaii Gas or MIC. At March 31, 2013, the debt to total capital ratio was 63.37% and $20.0 million in cash resources was readily available.

Cash provided by operating activities is driven primarily by customer receipts for services provided and leased equipment payments received (including non-revenue lease principal). Cash used in operating activities is driven by the timing of payments for electricity, vendor services or supplies and the payment of payroll and benefit costs. Cash provided by operating activities was higher as a result of favorable working capital movements for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012. The favorable movement for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 resulted from the timing of customer payments received, lower payments to vendors from timing of operations and maintenance spending and timing of equipment lease payments received.
Non-revenue lease principal is the principal portion of lease payments received from equipment leases with various customers. This cash inflow is not included in EBITDA excluding non-cash items, as there is no impact on net income, but as a cash inflow to calculate cash from operating activities. Non-revenue lease principal was $967,000 and $838,000 for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Effective April 30, 2013, the business will no longer provide site specific cooling and heating services to a customer outside downtown Chicago for which fees and lease payments were being received. The business is seeking to recover the unamortized lease principal of approximately $8.6 million. The loss of this customer will reduce the business cash from operations.
29
Cash used in investing activities mainly comprises capital expenditures, which are generally funded by drawing on available facilities and cash from operations. Cash used in investing activities for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 primarily funded system maintenance and growth capital expenditures for new customer connections.
The following table sets forth information about District Energys capital expenditures ($ in thousands):

Quarter ended March 31, 2012, cash basis | $ | 105 | $ | 129 | ||||
2013 full year projected | $ | 1.0 million | $ | 890,000 |
The business expects to spend approximately $1.0 million per year on capital expenditures relating to the replacement of parts, system reliability, customer service improvements and minor system modifications. Maintenance capital expenditures will be funded from available facilities and cash from operating activities. These expenditures were higher during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 due to the timing of spend on ordinary course maintenance projects.
Growth capital expenditures were lower during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 due to the timing of spend related to connecting new customers. New customers will typically reimburse the business for a substantial portion of expenditures related to connecting them to the business system, thereby reducing the impact of this element of capital expenditure.
At March 31, 2013, the balance on the business debt facilities consisted of a $150.0 million term loan facility and a $10.9 million capital expenditure facility. The weighted average interest rate on the debt facilities, including the interest rate swaps and fees associated with outstanding letters of credit at March 31, 2013, was 5.92%. Cash interest paid was $2.4 million for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the mandatory debt principal payments that commenced during the third quarter of 2012 and increased distributions paid to the noncontrolling interest shareholders.
In accordance with the terms of its loan agreement, District Energy will be applying 100% of its excess cash flow generated during the third quarter of 2012 and thereafter to pay a portion of its debt facilities through the loan maturity in September of 2014. These principal payments are applied to the capital expenditure facility followed by the term loan facility. The business paid $1.8 million and $3.4 million to its lenders in April of 2013 and during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, respectively.
The financial covenants triggering distribution lock-up or default under the business credit facility are as follows:
| Backward Interest Coverage Ratio < 1.5x (distribution lock-up) and < 1.2x (default). The ratio at March 31, 2013 was 2.44x. |
| Leverage Ratio (funds from operations less interest expense to net debt) for the previous 12 months less than 6.0% (distribution lock-up) and 4.0% (default). The ratio at March 31, 2013 was 9.97%. |

Cash provided by operating activities at Atlantic Aviation is generated from sales transactions primarily paid by credit cards. Some customers are provided extended payment terms and are billed accordingly. Cash used in operating activities is mainly for payments to vendors of fuel and professional services, as well as payroll costs and payments to tax jurisdictions.
Cash provided by operating activities increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the quarter ended March 31, 2012 primarily due to:
| lower cash interest paid due to the expiration of interest rate swaps in October of 2012 and lower principal balance on the term loan debt; and |
| improved operating results; partially offset by, |
| the timing of various payments. |
Cash used in investing activities relates primarily to cash used for acquisitions and capital expenditures. Cash provided by investing activities relates primarily to proceeds from the sale of FBOs. Cash used in investing activities increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared to quarter ended March 31, 2012 primarily due to an increase in growth capital expenditures.

Maintenance capital expenditures include repainting, replacing equipment as necessary and any ongoing environmental or required regulatory expenditure, such as installing safety equipment. These expenditures are generally funded from cash flow from operating activities.
31
Growth capital expenditures are incurred primarily where the business expects to receive an appropriate return relative to its cost of capital. Historically, these expenditures have included development of hangars, terminal buildings and ramp upgrades. The business has generally funded these projects through debt facilities or capital contributions from MIC.
Growth capital expenditures during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 related primarily to significant upgrades at certain facilities. Atlantic Aviation expects an increase in growth capital expenditures in 2013 primarily due to remodels of certain facilities to upgrade their capabilities.
The 2010 Tax Act provides for 100% tax depreciation for certain fixed assets placed in service after September 8, 2010 and before January 1, 2012, and 50% tax depreciation for certain fixed assets placed in service during 2012 for federal income tax purposes. The 2012 Tax Act extended the qualifying period for 50% tax depreciation to include 2013. Generally, states do not allow this tax depreciation deduction in determining state taxable income.
At March 31, 2013, the balance on Atlantic Aviations debt facilities includes $651.3 million drawn on a term loan facility and $50.0 million drawn on a capital expenditure facility. The interest rate applicable on these facilities is LIBOR plus a margin of 1.725% through the maturity of the loan in October of 2014.
Atlantic Aviation had interest rate swaps that hedged 100% of the term loan debt by swapping three-month U.S. LIBOR for a fixed rate of 5.1925%. These swaps expired on October 16, 2012 which lowered the all-in rate on the term loan from 6.7925% to floating rate LIBOR + 1.725% through maturity. In order to limit Atlantic Aviation exposure to potential increases in LIBOR, Atlantic Aviation has an interest rate cap at 2.25% on three-month U.S. LIBOR for a notional amount of $550.0 million through maturity of the term loan.
Atlantic Aviation also has stand-alone debt facilities used to fund construction of certain FBOs. At March 31, 2013, the balances on the stand-alone facilities totaled $5.6 million. The interest rates on these stand-alone facilities are fixed at 4.75%.
The weighted average interest rate of all outstanding debt facilities, including any interest rate swaps, at March 31, 2013, was 1.95%. Cash interest paid was $3.3 million and $12.6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, excluding interest rate swap breakage fees.
The increase in cash used in financing activities is primarily due to a larger payment on the principal balance of the term loan debt during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of $24.5 million compared with $6.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Per the terms of Atlantic Aviations amended credit agreement, starting in the fourth quarter of 2012 through to the maturity or refinancing of the facility, 100% of the excess cash generated by the business will be used to pay principal on the term loan.
On April 25, 2013, the business paid $7.0 million of term loan principal. As a result of this payment, the proforma leverage ratio would decrease to 5.25x based on the EBITDA generated by the business over the twelve months ended March 31, 2013, as calculated under the facility.
The financial covenant requirements under Atlantic Aviations credit facility, and the calculation of these measures at March 31, 2013, were as follows:
| Debt Service Coverage Ratio > 1.2x (default threshold). The ratio at March 31, 2013 was 3.09x. |
| Leverage Ratio debt to adjusted EBITDA for the trailing twelve months < 6.00x (default threshold). The ratio at March 31, 2013 was 5.30x. |
For a description of the material terms of Atlantic Aviations credit facilities, see Note 10 Long-Term Debt in Part II, Item 8, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012.
32
At March 31, 2013, there were no material changes in our commitments and contingencies compared with December 31, 2012, except for the mandatory payment we expect to make under the terms of cash sweep of Atlantic Aviations and District Energys credit facilities as discussed above. See Note 7, Long-Term Debt, to our consolidated condensed financial statements in Part I of this Form 10-Q for further discussion.
At March 31, 2013, we did not have any material purchase obligations. For a discussion of our other future obligations, due by period, under the various contractual obligations, off-balance sheet arrangements and commitments, please see Liquidity and Capital Resources Commitments and Contingencies in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2013.
At March 31, 2013, we did not have any material reserves for contingencies. We have other contingencies occurring in the normal course of business, including pending legal and administrative proceedings that are not reflected at this time as they are not ascertainable.
Our sources of cash to meet these obligations are as follows:
| cash generated from our operations (see Operating Activities in Liquidity and Capital Resources); |
| refinancing of our current credit facilities on or before maturity (see Financing Activities in Liquidity and Capital Resources); and |
| cash available from our undrawn credit facilities (see Financing Activities in Liquidity and Capital Resources). |
For critical accounting policies and estimates, see Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Our critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed materially from the description contained in that Annual Report.
Our acquisitions of businesses that we control are accounted for under the purchase method of accounting. The amounts assigned to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with acquisitions are based on estimated fair values as of the date of the acquisition, with the remainder, if any, recorded as goodwill. The fair values are determined by our management, taking into consideration information supplied by the management of acquired entities and other relevant information. Such information includes valuations supplied by independent appraisal experts for significant business combinations. The valuations are generally based upon future cash flow projections for the acquired assets, discounted to present value. The determination of fair values require significant judgment both by management and outside experts engaged to assist in this process.
Significant assets acquired in connection with our acquisition of Hawaii Gas, District Energy and Atlantic Aviation include contract rights, customer relationships, non-compete agreements, trademarks, property and equipment and goodwill.
Trademarks are generally considered to be indefinite life intangibles. Trademarks and goodwill are not amortized in most circumstances. It may be appropriate to amortize some trademarks. However, for unamortized intangible assets, we are required to perform annual impairment reviews and more frequently in certain circumstances.
ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment, permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that a reporting units fair value is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test, as discussed
33
below. If an entity concludes it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it need not perform the two-step impairment test.
If an entity concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, it needs to perform the two-step impairment test. This requires management to make judgments in determining what assumptions to use in the calculation. The first step of the process consists of estimating the fair value of each reporting unit based on a discounted cash flow model using revenue and profit forecasts and comparing those estimated fair values with the carrying values, which included the allocated goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment by determining an implied fair value of goodwill. The determination of a reporting units implied fair value of goodwill requires the allocation of the estimated fair value of the reporting unit to the assets and liabilities of the reporting unit. Any unallocated fair value represents the implied fair value of goodwill, which is compared with its corresponding carrying value. Hawaii Gas, District Energy and Atlantic Aviation are separate reporting units for purposes of this analysis. The impairment test for trademarks, which are not amortized, requires the determination of the fair value of such assets. If the fair value of the trademarks are less than their carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to the difference. We cannot predict the occurrence of certain future events that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill and/or intangible assets. Such events include, but are not limited to, strategic decisions made in response to economic and competitive conditions, the impact of the economic environment on our customer base, or material negative change in relationship with significant customers.
Property and equipment is initially stated at cost. Depreciation on property and equipment is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment after consideration of historical results and anticipated results based on our current plans. Our estimated useful lives represent the period the asset remains in service assuming normal routine maintenance. We review the estimated useful lives assigned to property and equipment when our business experience suggests that they do not properly reflect the consumption of economic benefits embodied in the property and equipment nor result in the appropriate matching of cost against revenue. Factors that lead to such a conclusion may include physical observation of asset usage, examination of realized gains and losses on asset disposals and consideration of market trends such as technological obsolescence or change in market demand.
Significant intangibles, including contract rights, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and technology are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the intangible asset after consideration of historical results and anticipated results based on our current plans. With respect to contract rights in our Atlantic Aviation business, we take into consideration the history of contract right renewals in determining our assessment of useful life and the corresponding amortization period.
We perform impairment reviews of property and equipment and intangibles subject to amortization, when events or circumstances indicate that assets are less than their carrying amount and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amount of those assets. In this circumstance, the impairment charge is determined based upon the amount by which the net book value of the assets exceeds their fair market value. Any impairment is measured by comparing the fair value of the asset to its carrying value.
The implied fair value of reporting units and fair value of property and equipment and intangible assets is determined by our management and is generally based upon future cash flow projections for the acquired assets, discounted to present value. We use outside valuation experts when management considers that it is appropriate to do so.
We test for impairment of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets annually as of October 1st or when there is an indicator of impairment.
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Part II, Item 7A Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since February 20, 2013, our 10-K filing date.
34
Under the direction and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2013. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires estimates and assumptions. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. Actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in the financial statements and notes. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2013.
The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 has been derived from audited financial statements but does not include all of the information and notes required by accounting principles generally accepted in
41
the United States for complete financial statements. Certain reclassifications were made to the financial statements for the prior period to conform to current period presentation.
The interim financial information contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 20, 2013.
In February of 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU 2013-02 Reporting Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income which is effective for interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2012. This guidance requires disclosure by component of other comprehensive income of the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and into net earnings for the reporting period. Since this guidance requires only additional disclosures, the adoption did not have an impact on the Companys results of operations and financial condition.
Following is a reconciliation of the basic and diluted number of shares used in computing income per share:
Quarter Ended March 31, | ||||||||
2013 | 2012 | |||||||
Weighted average number of shares outstanding: basic | 47,584,661 | 46,356,157 | ||||||
Dilutive effect of restricted stock unit grants | 18,596 | 23,134 | ||||||
Weighted average number of shares outstanding: diluted | 47,603,257 | 46,379,291 |
The effect of potentially dilutive shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 is calculated assuming that the 18,208 restricted stock unit grants provided to the independent directors on May 31, 2012, which will vest during the second quarter of 2013, and the 895 restricted stock unit grants on February 21, 2013, which will vest during the second quarter of 2013, had been fully converted to shares on those grant dates.
The effect of potentially dilutive shares for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 is calculated assuming that the 17,925 restricted stock unit grants provided to the independent directors on June 2, 2011, which vested during the second quarter of 2012, and the 5,209 restricted stock unit grants on August 12, 2011, which vested during the second quarter of 2012, had been fully converted to shares on those grant dates.
The Company invested in two utility-scale solar photovoltaic contracted power generation facilities in the fourth quarter of 2012, one in Tucson, Arizona (the Tucson Project) and one in Presidio, Texas (the Presidio Project). The facilities are capable of generating a combined approximately 30 megawatts (MWac) of electricity. These two combined investments, called MIC Solar, constitute a business segment that does not meet the threshold of a reportable segment in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Accordingly, the results of operations of MIC Solar are aggregated with Corporate and Others results in the accompanying disclosure of segment information.
The Tucson Project is governed by an LLC agreement pursuant to which MICs co-investor contributed $55.4 million and receives an amount of the projects tax credits and losses disproportionate to its investment. MIC contributed $4.0 million and receives an amount of the projects cash flows disproportionate to its investment. All major decisions involving the Tucson Project must be approved by both members.
42
Once the co-investor has earned a specified rate of return on its investment in the Tucson Project (the Flip Date), MIC receives certain rights, as defined, to make decisions over the management and operations of the project. The Flip Date cannot occur earlier than November 21, 2017. Once the Flip Date occurs, MIC and the co-investors interest in the projects taxable income (loss) will be revised to amounts defined within the LLC agreement. Additionally, subsequent to the Flip Date, MIC has an option to purchase the co-investors interest at an amount defined in the LLC agreement, but not less than fair market value. Since it is expected that the Flip Date will occur during the life of the project and that MIC will receive certain rights to make decisions over the management and operations of the project at that time, the Company has determined that it is appropriate to consolidate the project with the co-investors interest reflected as a noncontrolling interest in the consolidated condensed financial statements.
Net income (loss) generated by the Tucson Project is allocated to the co-investor using the Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value (HLBV) method. The HLBV method allocates net income (loss) based on the amount necessary to adjust the ending balance of the co-investors interest in the Tucson Project to an amount equal to the distribution proceeds that would be due to the co-investor in a hypothetical liquidation of the Tucson Project at the net book value of the underlying assets. As a result of the tax benefits that the co-investor receives from the Tucson Project at inception, the co-investor would receive distribution proceeds that are less than its initial investment in the project under the HLBV method and MIC would receive distribution proceeds in excess of its initial investment, resulting in a gain to MIC that will be amortized over the 30 year life of the project. The Companys allocated interest in the net income (loss) of the Tucson Project was insignificant for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
On November 21, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of the Tucson Project for a purchase price of $59.4 million. This acquisition was funded by a $4.0 million capital investment by the Company and $55.4 million capital contribution from a noncontrolling interest co-investor. At December 31, 2012, this facility was fully operational.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, the results of operations of the Tucson Project are included in the consolidated statement of operations since November 21, 2012. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition was as follows
($ in thousands):
Restricted cash current | $ | 538 | ||
Total current assets | 538 | |||
Property and equipment | 115,597 | |||
Restricted cash non-current | 2,219 | |||
Total assets acquired | $ | 118,354 | ||
Current portion of long-term debt | $ | 1,842 | ||
Total current liabilities | 1,842 | |||
Long-term debt | 57,087 | |||
Total liabilities assumed | $ | 58,929 | ||
Net assets acquired | $ | 59,425 |
On December 21, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of the Presidio Project for a purchase price of $5.4 million, funded by a capital investment by the Company. In January of 2013, the Company entered into an LLC agreement with a noncontrolling interest co-investor who made a capital contribution of $2.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. During April of 2013, the co-investor made a further
43
investment of $18.6 million, of which $3.4 million was returned to MIC as a return of capital, reducing MICs investment in the Presidio Project to $2.0 million.
Under the LLC agreement, the Company receives an amount of the projects cash flows disproportionate to its investment and its co-investor receives an amount of the projects tax credits and losses disproportionate to its investment. All major decisions involving the Presidio Project must be approved by both members. The terms of the LLC agreement governing the Presidio Project are similar to the Tucson Project described above.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company assumed $24.3 million in construction financing. This facility in Presidio is expected to commence operations during the second quarter of 2013 and therefore the fixed assets of this investment are classified as construction in progress at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 on the consolidated condensed balance sheet. Upon operations, the construction loan is expected to convert to term debt.
The acquisition has been accounted for as a business combination. Accordingly, the results of operations of the Presidio Project are included in the consolidated statement of operations since December 21, 2012. The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition was as follows ($ in thousands):
Restricted cash current | $ | 2,596 | ||
Total current assets | 2,596 | |||
Property and equipment | 25,837 | |||
Restricted cash non-current | 1,000 | |||
Deferred financing costs | 263 | |||
Total assets acquired | $ | 29,696 | ||
Current portion of long-term debt | $ | 497 | ||
Total current liabilities | 497 | |||
Long-term debt | 23,807 | |||
Total liabilities assumed | 24,304 | |||
Net assets acquired | $ | 5,392 |
Had the acquisitions occurred as of January 1, 2012, the Companys consolidated results of operations would not have been materially different. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded transaction related costs of $1.1 million in selling, general, and administrative expense for these investments.
Property, equipment, land and leasehold improvements at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consist of the following ($ in thousands):
March 31, 2013 | December 31, 2012 | |||||||

The Company tests for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis on October 1st of each year and between annual tests if a triggering event indicates impairment. There were no triggering events indicating impairment for the quarter ended March 31, 2013.
At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Companys consolidated long-term debt comprised the following ($ in thousands):
March 31, 2013 | December 31, 2012 | |||||||
Hawaii Gas | $ | 200,000 | $ | 180,000 | ||||

During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, Hawaii Gas borrowed $20.0 million from its secured revolving credit facility. The Company has classified $10.0 million relating to Hawaii Gass revolving credit facility in the current portion of long-term debt in the consolidated condensed balance sheet at March 31, 2013, as it is required to pay this amount within one year.
The Company classified $8.0 million relating to District Energys debt in the current portion of long-term debt in the consolidated condensed balance sheet at March 31, 2013, as it expects to pay this amount within one year. Under the terms of District Energys credit facility, the business must apply all excess cash flow from the business to pay additional debt starting with the quarter ended September 30, 2013 and thereafter, to pay its debt facilities through maturity in September of 2014. During the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and in April of 2013, District Energy paid $3.4 million and $1.8 million, respectively, to its lenders.
45
For the quarter ended December 31, 2012 and thereafter, Atlantic Aviation will be applying all excess cash flow generated to pay the principal balance on its term loan facility regardless of leverage ratio as calculated under the facility. For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, Atlantic Aviation used $24.5 million of excess cash flow to pay the principal balance of the term loan. The Company has classified $88.4 million relating to Atlantic Aviations term loan debt in the current portion of long-term debt in the consolidated condensed balance sheet at March 31, 2013, as it expects to pay this amount within one year. On April 25, 2013, Atlantic Aviation used $7.0 million of excess cash flow to pay the principal balance of the term debt under this facility.
Atlantic Aviation also has stand-alone debt facilities used to fund construction at its FBOs. At March 31, 2013, the balances on the stand-alone facilities were $5.6 million. The Company has classified $527,000 relating to the stand-alone debt facilities in the current portion of long-term debt in the consolidated condensed balance sheet at March 31, 2013.
As discussed in Note 4, Acquisitions, the Company acquired two solar businesses during the fourth quarter of 2012. In connection with these acquisitions, the Company assumed $83.2 million in term loan and construction loan debt. The portion that related to the project at Tucson, Arizona, upon substantial completion in December of 2012, was converted to a term loan. At March 31, 2013, $58.9 million was outstanding, of which $1.8 million was recorded as current portion of long-term debt. At March 31, 2013, the portion that related to the project at Presidio, Texas, was a construction loan that is expected to convert to term debt reaching substantial completion in the second quarter of 2013. At March 31, 2013, $25.5 million was outstanding, of which $626,000 was recorded as current portion of long-term debt.
The Company and its businesses have in place variable-rate debt. Management believes that it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of the business interest payments. To meet this objective, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk on a majority of its debt with a variable-rate component. These swaps change the variable-rate cash flow exposure on the debt obligations to fixed cash flows. Under the terms of the interest rate swaps, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby creating the equivalent of fixed-rate debt for the portion of the debt that is swapped.
At March 31, 2013, the Company had $1.2 billion of current and long-term debt, $881.3 million of which was economically hedged with interest rate swaps and $271.0 million of which was unhedged.
Effective February 25, 2009 for Atlantic Aviation and effective April 1, 2009 for the Companys other businesses, the Company elected to discontinue hedge accounting. In prior periods, when the Company applied hedge accounting, changes in the fair value of derivatives that effectively offset the variability of cash flows on the Companys debt interest obligations were recorded in other comprehensive income or loss. From the dates that hedge accounting was discontinued, all movements in the fair value of the interest rate swaps are recorded directly through earnings. As interest payments are made, a portion of the other comprehensive loss recorded under hedge accounting is also reclassified into earnings. The Company will reclassify into earnings $1.9 million of net derivative losses, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2013, over the remaining life of the existing interest rate swaps, of which approximately $1.3 million will be reclassified over the next 12 months.
Excess cash flow generated at District Energy must be applied toward the principal balance of the term loan during the last two years before maturity. District Energy will record additional reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense when the business pays down its debt more quickly than anticipated.
46
The Company measures derivative instruments at fair value using the income approach which discounts the future net cash settlements expected under the derivative contracts to a present value. These valuations utilize primarily observable (level 2) inputs, including contractual terms, interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals.
The Companys fair value measurements of its derivative instruments and the related location of the liabilities associated with the hedging instruments within the consolidated condensed balance sheets at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were as follows ($ in thousands):

All of the business segments are managed separately and management has chosen to organize the Company around the distinct products and services offered.
IMTT provides bulk liquid storage and handling services in North America through ten terminals located on the East, West and Gulf Coasts, the Great Lakes region of the United States and partially owned terminals in Quebec and Newfoundland, Canada. IMTT derives the majority of its revenue from storage and handling of petroleum products, various chemicals, renewable fuels, and vegetable and animal oils. Based on storage capacity, IMTT operates one of the largest third-party bulk liquid storage terminal businesses in the United States.
The revenue from the Hawaii Gas segment is included in revenue from product sales. Revenue is generated from the distribution and sales of synthetic natural gas, or SNG, and liquefied petroleum gas, or LPG. Revenue is primarily a function of the volume of SNG and LPG consumed by customers and the price per thermal unit or gallon charged to customers. Because both SNG and LPG are derived from petroleum, revenue levels, without organic growth, will generally track global oil prices. The utility revenue of Hawaii Gas reflects fuel adjustment charges, or FACs, through which changes in fuel costs are passed through to customers.
The revenue from the District Energy segment is included in service revenue and financing and equipment lease income. Included in service revenue is capacity revenue, which relates to monthly fixed contract charges, and consumption revenue, which relates to contractual rates applied to actual usage. Financing and equipment lease income relates to direct financing lease transactions and equipment leases to the business various customers. Finance lease revenue, recorded on the consolidated condensed statements of operations, is the interest portion of lease payments received from equipment leases with various customers primarily in Las Vegas. The principal portion of the cash receipts on these equipment leases are recorded in the operating activities of the consolidated condensed cash flow statements. District Energy provides its services to buildings primarily in the downtown Chicago, Illinois area and to a casino and a shopping mall located in Las Vegas, Nevada.
49
The Atlantic Aviation business segment derives the majority of its revenues from fuel sales and from other airport services, including de-icing, aircraft hangarage and other aviation services. All of the revenue of Atlantic Aviation is generated at airports in the U.S., of which there were 62 at March 31, 2013.

On December 13, 2012, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) notified The Gas Company, LLC (the Company) of alleged violations of Section 112(r)(7) of the Clean Air Act and the implementing regulations of these provisions at Hawaii Gas SNG Plant (the Plant). The EPA alleges that the Company failed to timely report a 2010 release of sodium hydroxide, and identified related deficiencies in audits, certifications and inspections of the Plant. The Company disputes several of the allegations and is currently in settlement discussions with the EPA. Based on these discussions, we believe that resolution of this matter may result in payment of a civil penalty not expected to be material but exceeding $100,000.
On December 16, 2010, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LADEQ) notified IMTT of alleged violations of emissions limits in the Clean Air Act Title V Permit at the IMTT St. Rose facility. The violations involve engine emissions exceedences, which were subsequently repermitted to higher limits. IMTT had self-disclosed these exceedences to the LADEQ. IMTT is in settlement discussions with the LADEQ. Based on these discussions, we believe that resolution of this matter may result in payment of a civil penalty not expected to be material but exceeding $100,000.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth under Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2013.
