Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On
October 16, 2006 Macquarie Infrastructure Company
(we or the Company) is issuing a press release
related to the amending and restating of certain financial statements and other financial
information, as discussed below.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a
Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review |

Item 7.01 |

Regulation FD Disclosure. |
(a) Restatement and non-reliance
During the third quarter of 2006, we, in consultation with our external auditors, discovered
that our application of, and documentation related to, the short-cut and critical terms match
methods under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), for certain of our derivative instruments was
incorrect.
Following our discovery of these errors, on September 13, 2006, our Audit Committee determined that
we would amend and restate previously issued unaudited financial statements and other financial
information for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 for derivative instruments that
did not qualify for hedge accounting during those periods and that the originally filed financial
statements and other financial information should not be relied upon. As a result, on September 14,
2006 we filed a Current Report on Form 8-K regarding our intent to amend and restate our financial
statements and other financial information for the quarters ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006
with respect to the accounting for these derivative instruments. We also initiated a comprehensive
review of all of our determinations and documentation related to hedge accounting for our
derivative instruments, as well as our related processes and procedures.
As a result of that review, management determined that none of our interest rate and foreign
exchange derivative instruments met the criteria required for use of either the short-cut or
critical terms match methods of hedge accounting for all periods from April 13, 2004 (inception)
through June 30, 2006. We are not permitted to retroactively apply an appropriate method of
qualifying for hedge accounting treatment and, as a result, the non-cash changes in the fair value
of these derivative instruments are required to be recorded as other income in the income statement
rather than in accumulated other comprehensive income in the balance sheet.
On October 13, 2006, management recommended to the Audit Committee that our unaudited 2005
quarterly financial statements and financial information as well as 2005 financial information for
our airport services and airport parking segments within Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations should be restated to reflect the elimination of
hedge accounting for these derivative instruments. The Audit
Committee agreed with managements
recommendation and determined that such previously reported 2005 unaudited quarterly financial
statements, quarterly financial information and segment financial
information within Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations should also no longer
be relied upon.
On October
16, 2006, we are separately filing amended and restated Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the
quarterly periods ended March 31, 2006 and June 30, 2006 to eliminate the use of hedge accounting
for our derivative instruments. We are also separately filing an Annual Report on Form 10-K/A to
similarly restate 2005 unaudited quarterly financial statements and other quarterly financial
information, as well as certain 2005 segment financial information.
The cumulative effect of this change is immaterial to our audited consolidated financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2005 and for the period from April 13, 2004 (inception) to December
31, 2004 and, as a result, we have not restated our audited consolidated financial statements for
those periods.
In light of these restatements, readers should no longer rely on our previously filed 2005
unaudited quarterly financial statements and other quarterly financial information, or 2005
financial information for our airport services and airport parking segments..
Management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors have discussed the matters disclosed
in this Current Report on Form 8-K with KPMG LLP, the Companys independent registered public
accounting firm and auditor for all affected periods, in reaching the conclusion to restate such
quarterly financial statements and other finanacial information for the above-mentioned periods.
