TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of
Assets
On June 12, 2006, Macquarie Infrastructure Company
Inc. (MIC Inc.) a wholly owned subsidiary of
Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC and Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust (collectively and
individually MIC Company or we), filed a
current report on Form 8-K (the Original 8-K) with respect to the
completion on June 7, 2006 of its acquisition of K-1 HGC Investment, L.L.C. (subsequently renamed
Macquarie HGC Investment LLC) (MHGI), which owns HGC Holdings, L.L.C. (subsequently renamed HGC
Holdings LLC) (HGC) and The Gas Company, LLC (TGC), from k1 Ventures Limited (K1). This
current report on Form 8-K/A (this Report) amends and
restates the prior report in its entirety except for the exhibits filed
therewith.
Additional information about this transaction was initially described
in Forms 8-K filed by MIC in
August 2005 and November 2005, and was also described in MICs most recently filed Forms 10-K and 10-Q. This Form
8-K/A updates all such prior information.
MHGI, together with its wholly owned subsidiary, HGC Investment Corporation, are the sole members
of HGC, and HGC is the sole member of TGC. TGC is a Hawaii limited liability company that owns and
operates the regulated synthetic natural gas distribution business in Hawaii and distributes and
sells liquefied petroleum gas through unregulated operations. TGC operates in both regulated and
unregulated markets on the Islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Kauai, Molokai and Lanai.
The $272.0 million purchase price, comprising a base purchase price of $238.0 million, a working
capital adjustment of $21.3 million and transaction costs of $12.7 million, was funded with $160.0
million of new subsidiary-level debt, $99.0 million of funds initially drawn by MIC Inc. under the
revolving portion of its acquisition credit facility and available cash. The Company expects the
transaction to be immediately yield accretive. The $160.0 million of subsidiary secured financing
was provided by Dresdner Bank AG London Branch and other lenders under two credit facilities, each
of which commenced on June 7, 2006 and has a seven year term. These agreements, which do not
have recourse to MIC or other businesses of MIC, are filed as
Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to the Original 8-K.
TGCs consolidated results will be included in the results of operations of MIC under the purchase
method of accounting and will constitute a new segment (gas utility business) from June 7, 2006. Subject to applicable debt covenants and retention of reserves, as required by the Hawaii
Public Utilities Commission (HPUC), MIC expects that substantially all of TGCs consolidated cash
flow from operations and from investing activities less maintenance capital expenditures will be
available for distribution to its shareholders.
Macquarie Securities (USA) Inc. (MSUSA) acted as financial advisor to MIC on the transaction,
including on the debt financing arrangements, and will receive fees and expense payments totaling
approximately $5.0 million (included in the transaction costs discussed above). MSUSA is a
subsidiary of Macquarie Bank Limited, the parent company of the Manager. In addition, Macquarie
Bank Limited provided $30.0 million of the funding under the MIC Inc. acquisition facility. It also
provided interest rate swaps with notional principal of $48.0 million relating to the subsidiary
level financing.

The Company may, in some cases, use words such as
project, believe, anticipate, plan, expect, estimate, intend, should, would, could, potentially, or
may or other words that convey uncertainty of future events or outcomes to identify these
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements in this report are subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Companys control including, among other
things: its ability to successfully integrate and manage acquired
businesses, including the ability to retain or replace qualified employees, manage growth, make
and finance future acquisitions, service, comply with the terms of and refinance debt, and
implement its strategy; decisions made by persons who control its investments including the
distribution of dividends; its regulatory environment for purposes of establishing rate structures and monitoring
quality of service; changes in general economic or business conditions, or demographic trends, including
changes to the political environment, economy, tourism, construction
and transportation costs, changes in air travel, automobile usage,
fuel and gas costs, including the ability to recover increases in
these costs from customers; reliance on sole or limited source
suppliers, particularly in our gas utility business; foreign exchange
fluctuations; environmental risks; and changes
in U.S. federal
tax law.
Actual results, performance, prospects or opportunities
could differ materially from those
expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Additional risks of which the Company
is not currently aware could also cause actual results to differ. In light of these risks,

Use of Non-GAAP Pro Forma Financial Information
We report our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
However, we also present earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA),
a non-GAAP financial measure, in the accompanying Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations, as well as a pro forma EBITDA in the accompanying pro forma condensed combined
statements of operations. EBITDA and pro forma EBITDA are reconciled to net income and pro forma
net income, respectively, wherever these measures are presented.
We believe EBITDA is a useful supplemental financial measure to assess the financial performance of
our assets and our ability to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on our indebtedness and make
distributions to our shareholders. EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income,
operating income, cash flow from operating activities or any other measure of financial performance
or liquidity under GAAP. EBITDA as presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled
measures of other companies.
Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Originally founded in 1904, TGC is Hawaiis only franchised full-service gas energy company, making
gas products and services available to Hawaiis 1.2 million full-time residents and over seven
million annual visitors. TGC provides both regulated and unregulated gas distribution services on
the six primary islands in the State of Hawaii.
TGC has two primary businesses, utility (or regulated) and non-utility (or unregulated):
|
1. |
|
The utility business includes distribution and sales of Synthetic Natural Gas (SNG)
on the Island of Oahu and distribution and sale of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) to
approximately 35,850 customers through localized distribution systems located on the
Islands of Oahu, Hawaii, Maui, Kauai, Molokai and Lanai (listed by size of market).
Utility revenue consists principally of sales of thermal units (therms) of SNG and LPG.
One gallon of LPG is the equivalent of 0.913 therms. The operating costs for the utility
business include the cost of locally purchased feedstock, the cost of
manufacturing SNG from the feedstock, LPG purchase costs and
the cost of distributing SNG and LPG to customers. |
3
|
2. |
|
The non-utility business comprises the sale of LPG to approximately 31,551 customers,
through truck deliveries to individual tanks located on customer sites on Oahu, Hawaii,
Maui, Kauai, Molokai and Lanai. Non-utility revenue consists of sales of gallons of LPG.
The operating costs for the non-utility business include the cost of purchased LPG and
the cost of distributing the LPG to customers. |
SNG and LPG have a wide number of applications, including electricity generation, commercial and
residential water heating, drying and cooking, and fuel for transportation. Gas customers range from
residential customers to a wide variety of commercial customers. The primary domestic uses of gas
in Hawaii are cooking, water heating, drying and gas lighting.
Revenue is primarily a function of the volume of SNG and LPG consumed by customers and the price
per thermal unit (for regulated sales) or price per gallon (for LPG) charged to unregulated
customers. Both SNG and LPG are derived from petroleum so revenue levels, without organic
operating growth, will generally track global oil prices. Revenue includes fuel adjustment charges (FAC),
through which the changes in fuel costs generally are passed through to customers.
Volume is primarily driven by demographic and economic growth in the State of Hawaii and by shifts
of end users to gas from other energy sources and competitors. There are approximately 250
regulated utilities operating in Hawaii. These comprise one gas utility, four electric utilities,
34 water and sewage utilities and 211 telecommunications utilities. The four electric utility
operators, combined, serve approximately 450,000 customers. Since all businesses and residences
have electrical connections, this provides an estimate of the total market potential. TGCs
regulated customer base is approximately 35,850 and its non-regulated customer base is
approximately 31,551. Accordingly, TGCs overall market share,
as a percentage of total utility customers in Hawaii, is
approximately 15% of Hawaii businesses and residences. TGC has 100% of Hawaiis regulated gas
business and over 70% of Hawaiis unregulated gas business. Approximately 90%
of Hawaiis general energy needs are met from petroleum
products; the remainder are met mostly from
renewable sources. The State of Hawaii consumes approximately
226 million British Thermal Units of fossil based
energy per year, excluding military requirements. LPG and SNG comprise approximately 3% of this
total.
Prices
charged by TGC to its customers for the regulated gas business are based on HPUC regulated rates
that allow us to recover our costs of providing utility gas service,
including operating expenses,
taxes, a return of capital investments through recovery of depreciation and a return on the capital we have
invested. TGC is not permitted to recover goodwill or transaction costs related to the acquisition
through its regulated rates. The rates that are charged to non-utility customers are set based on
production and delivery costs, and on the cost of fuel and also take into consideration competitive factors. Our rate structure generally
allows us to maintain a relatively consistent dollar-based margin per thermal unit or gallon by
passing increases or decreases in fuel costs to our utility customers
through the FAC.
We incur expenses in operating and maintaining our facilities and distribution network, comprising
a SNG plant, a 22 mile transmission line, 1,100 miles of distribution pipelines, several tank
storage facilities and a fleet of vehicles. These costs are generally fixed in nature. Other
operating expenses incurred, such as revenue-based taxes, are generally sensitive to the volume of
product sold. In addition, we incur general and administrative expenses at our executive office
that include expenses for senior management, accounting, information technology, human resources,
environmental compliance, regulatory compliance, employee benefits, rents, utilities, insurance and
other corporate costs.
Results of Operations
The comparative periods discussed below consist of 10 months, 12 months and 11 months,
respectively. Accordingly, we have compared these periods on an average dollars or units per month
basis as we believe so doing provides a more meaningful analysis than comparing periods of varying
length. We do not believe that seasonality is a material factor over
any particular period.

Revenue and Gross Profit
The key factors generating our revenue and gross profit are volume of SNG and LPG sold and
dollar-based margin per therm or gallon. Our average monthly revenue and gross profit growth was
due primarily to:
|
|
Rising cost of SNG and LPG, which we generally pass on to
customers. To date, we have
not seen any negative impact on demand for SNG and LPG due to the
increases in these costs; and |
|
|
An increase in utility therm margins resulting from reduced SNG gas line losses and
recovery of percentage-based revenue taxes that are recorded in
selling, general and administrative expenses. |
The price increases in SNG were the result of an average 29% increase in the cost of fuel
experienced in the period ended April 30, 2006 when compared to the period ended June 30, 2005.
Price increases passed through to customers were consistent with a formula permitted by the HPUC.
The price increases in LPG were the result of an average 20% increase in the cost of fuel between
these periods that TGC passed on to its customers.
The combination of the factors cited above resulted in an overall reduction in gross margin as a
percentage of revenue. This is a function of maintaining relatively consistent dollar based
margins per therm or gallon on an increased revenue base resulting from higher SNG and LPG
prices, as described above under Key Factors.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Average selling, general and administrative expenses per month increased approximately 8.3%. This
was due primarily to salary and wage merit and union contract increases, filling of vacant
positions, repair of damages caused by a fire at the SNG plant, rental of a large electrical
generator due to reliability issues with a power supplier, increases in vehicle fleet fuel costs,
increases in employee benefit costs, higher percentage-of-revenue taxes and other inflationary cost
increases.
Interest Expense, Net
Average
net interest expense per month increased 32.8% due primarily to increasing interest rates.
The outstanding debt is unhedged.
Other Income
Other income decreased because of the receipt of a payment from an electric utility for the shared
use of an Energy Corridor in 2005, as more fully described in Footnote 8 of the audited financial
statements for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005.
Cumulative Effect of Prior Period Adjustment, Net of Tax
Prior to April 30, 2006, we followed the provisions of SFAS No. 143 in accounting for our asset
retirement obligation. In applying this Statement we took into consideration only those legal
obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that we considered to be probable
of being incurred.
Effective from April 30, 2006, we adopted the provisions of FIN 47, and also recorded an asset
retirement obligation in those cases where the obligation to perform the asset retirement activity
was unconditional, even though the timing or the method of settling the obligation was uncertain.

Revenue and Gross Profit
The key factors generating our revenue and gross profit are volume of SNG and LPG sold and
dollar-based margin per therm or gallon. Our average monthly revenue and gross profit growth was
due primarily to:
|
|
|
Rising cost of SNG and LPG, which we generally pass on to customers;
|
|
|
|
|
An increase in both thermal unit and gallon sales volume and
increased dollar per therm fuel margins, partially offset by a decrease in dollar per gallon fuel margins; |
|
|
|
|
An increase in utility therm margins resulting from reduced utility SNG gas line losses
and coverage of percentage-based revenue taxes that are recorded in
selling, general and administrative expenses; and |
|
|
|
|
A decrease in non-utility margins resulting from comparably higher costs of LPG due to
increased purchases of LPG from foreign suppliers at a cost higher than local supplies.
We chose to make these foreign purchases to insure adequate supply
for our customers following local fuel
shortfalls. We made a business decision not to entirely pass these
increased costs to our customers due to long-term customer
relations, public relations, and competitive considerations. |
The price increases in SNG were the result of an average 32% increase in the cost of fuel
experienced in the period ended June 30, 2005 when compared to the period ended June 30, 2004. The
price increases in LPG were the result of an average 27% increase in the cost of fuel between these
periods.
The combination of the factors cited above resulted
in an overall reduction in gross margin as a
percentage of revenue. This is a function of maintaining relatively consistent dollar based
margins per therm or gallon on a combined basis on an increased revenue base resulting from higher SNG and LPG
prices, as descried above under Key Factors.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Average selling, general and administrative expenses per month increased approximately 4.6%. This
was due primarily to salary and wage merit and union contact
increases, increases in employee benefit
costs, increases in vehicle fleet fuel costs, higher percentage-of-revenue taxes and other
inflationary cost increases.
Interest Expense, Net
Average net interest expense per month increased 22.4% due primarily to increasing interest rates.
The outstanding debt is unhedged.
Other Income
Other income increased because of the receipt of a non-recurring payment from an electric utility
for the shared use of an Energy Corridor in 2005, as more fully described in Footnote 8 of the
audited financial statements for the twelve months ended June 30, 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash
flow provided by Operating Activities
Cash flow
provided by operating activities decreased from 2004 to 2005 and also from 2005
to 2006. These decreases were due primarily to changes in the impact
of working capital and deferred taxes. The working capital changes
resulted from increases in accounts receivable due to higher revenue
and increased inventory levels resulting from higher fuel prices and
the timing of purchases of LPG. The following table summarizes the
impact of working capital and deferred taxes, and of other items, on
cash flow from operations.

Cash flow used in investing activities is generally due principally to capital expenditures. Cash
flow used in investing activities for 2006 also included the repayment of a $10.5 million loan from
Focus-Up Holding, Ltd. In 2006, capital expenditures consisted of $5.7 million for maintenance and
routine asset replacements and $758,000 for new business opportunities. The $758,000 expended for
new business opportunities comprised pipelines, meters and tanks for new customers that are
expected to generate annual revenue of about $590,000 in the utility business and about $135,000 in
the non-utility business, beginning immediately following equipment installation.
For 2005, capital expenditures of $6.1 million consisted of $5.2 million for maintenance and
routine asset replacements and $933,000 for new business opportunities. The $933,000 expended for
new business opportunities comprised pipelines, meters and tanks for new customers that are
expected to generate annual revenue of about $675,000 in the utility business and about $125,000 in
the non-utility business, beginning immediately following equipment installation.

Cash flow used in investing activities for 2004 included $106.5 million related to the purchase of
the business by K1. Capital expenditures for 2004 were $6.0 million, consisting of $5.5 million
for maintenance and routine asset replacements and $499,000 for new business opportunities. The
$499,000 expended for new business opportunities comprised pipelines, meters and tanks for new
customers that have generated annual revenue of about $270,000 in the utility business and about
$81,000 in the non-utility business.
For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2007, TGC expects to incur approximately $10 million for
capital expenditures. This includes $6.1 million for
capitalized maintenance and routine replacements of current
facilities and equipment. The remaining $3.9 million includes
approximately $2.0 million in projects for the expansion of
facility capabilities and to improve distribution system reliability
and capacity, as well as $1.9 million for growth of current facilities,
consisting of $1.0 million for regulated
operations and $0.9 million for unregulated operations.

The 2004 amount included primarily K1s equity and debt financing for its purchase of the business.
Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation.
As described in Item 2.01, the purchase of TGC was financed, in part, with $160.0 million of
subsidiary secured term debt that is non-recourse to MIC or other MIC-owned businesses and $99.0
million of debt incurred under MIC Inc.s acquisition credit facility.
The terms
of the MIC. Inc. acquisition credit facility and the subsidiary debt facility, including payment
terms and mandatory prepayment provisions, are substantially the same as has been previously
described in the Companys SEC filings, except as follows: the additional $20.0 million working
capital revolving facility now includes a $5.0 million letter of credit sublimit, and revolving
loans are to be repaid within 12 months after their borrowing or at maturity, if sooner.
The borrowers for the subsidiary level credit facilities also entered into hedging agreements
pursuant to which the floating interest rates of the subsidiary level credit facilities are swapped
into fixed rates. Under the hedging agreements, $160 million of LIBOR based notional principal has
been hedged at a fixed rate of 4.84%.
