To Our Shareholders:

We are pleased to present this report of our 2006 activity. A focused, disciplined adherence to our
business model propelled us to new levels of achievement for our most important metrics:

• Operating income up 23% 
• Pre-tax earnings up 42% 
• Free cash flow of $26.6 million, or $2.59 per share

The Company’s pre-tax income per share of $2.04 in 2006 represented a 47% increase over 2005.
In 2006, we reversed our valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, recognizing a net income tax
benefit of $17.8 million. Excluding the impact of the net reduction in valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets in both 2005 and 2006, earnings per share would have increased by 34% to
$1.76 for 2006. On a go-forward basis starting in 2007, our income tax expense will be
approximately 40%, which should make future comparisons between years more meaningful. For
2007, however, our cash taxes will remain substantially below this level, at approximately 5%.  

From our available cash and the $26.6 million of free cash flow that the Company generated during
2006, we used $20 million to repurchase shares and $9 million to pay down debt.

Capital expenditures in 2006 totaled $2.2 million, and the Company also entered into $3.6 million
of new capital lease obligations intended primarily to fund the purchase of shuttle buses.

These 2006 results emanated almost entirely from organic growth. While we spent a significant
amount of time and resources looking for potential acquisition candidates, our primary goals were
to (i) continue to improve the Company’s capital structure during a non-acquisition period, as well
as reduce the cost of our debt, and (ii) return value to our shareholders. To this end, by restructuring
our credit agreements with our primary lenders, we were able to eliminate the $49 million in
relatively expensive 9.25% bonds that had been on our balance sheet at the beginning of 2006,
and reduce our net debt level to a ratio of 2.3 times EBITDA. This reduced our 2006 interest
expense to $8.3 million, a savings of $1.1 million compared to 2005.  

As a public company, we adhere to accounting, internal control and reporting standards that are
more rigorous than those typically followed by our non-public competitors. We are pleased to report
that in 2006, for the second consecutive year, we have determined that our internal controls over
financial reporting are effective and without material weaknesses. Our independent auditor, Ernst &
Young, LLP, completed its evaluation and testing of our internal controls over financial reporting and
issued an unqualified opinion.

The fundamental components of our business model remain unchanged:

• The use of a lower risk, higher margin management contract structure that produces consistent 
earnings and stable cash flow. With approximately 88% of the Company’s locations operating 
under this format, the impact of external factors on operations is significantly moderated. 
Moreover, since management contracts typically don’t require our investment in working capital 
or capital expenditures, we are able to grow our business without significant capital requirements.

2828_Ltr  3/15/07  9:06 PM  Page 2

• An emphasis on growth within our core markets, both organic and non-organic, enabling us to 
recognize significant economies of scale by spreading overhead costs across a large number of 
locations. Our management structure and local knowledge within these core markets works to 
our competitive advantage.

• A commitment to information technology and client reporting systems to drive increased 

efficiencies and enhance revenue. Maintaining the integrity of the substantial amount of cash 
that flows through our locations with enhanced systems and a dedicated internal audit team is 
one cornerstone of our operating strategy. At the same time, our organization remains dedicated 
to using technological advances to further our ongoing initiative of driving down general and 
administrative expenses as a percentage of gross profit. 

• Continued expansion of the array of services that we offer to both existing and new clients to 

drive year-over-year increases in same location earnings.

We anticipate 2007 results with great optimism. Our strengthening of the Company’s capital
structure and the expansion of our capabilities and infrastructure during the past few years have
positioned us well to take advantage of an opportunistic marketplace. We continue to strive to
provide a superior range of service products to our existing and new clients through excellence in
execution, and to find new partners willing to join our team and add to our growth story.

SPECIAL CAUTIONARY NOTICE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS 

This Form 10-K includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities 
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements relate to analyses and other information that are based on 
forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable. These statements also relate to our 
future prospects, developments and business strategies. The statements contained in this Form 10-K that are not

uncertainties. 

We have used the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” 

“predict,” “project,” “will” and similar terms and phrases, including references to assumptions in this 
Form 10-K to identify forward-looking statements. These forward looking statements are made based on our 
management’s expectations and beliefs concerning future events affecting us and are subject to uncertainties and 
factors relating to our operations and business environment, all of which are difficult to predict and many of 
which are beyond our control. These uncertainties and factors could cause our actual results to differ materially 
from those matters expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements. The following factors are 
among those that may cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements: 

• the loss, or renewal on less favorable terms, of management contracts and leases;

• our ability to form and maintain relationships with large real estate owners, managers and developers;

• our ability to renew our insurance policies on acceptable terms, the extent to which our clients choose to 

obtain insurance coverage through us and our ability to successfully manage self-insured losses;

• our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health;

• availability, terms and deployment of capital;

• integration of  future acquisitions in light of challenges in retaining key employees, synchronizing 

business processes and efficiently integrating facilities, marketing and operations;

• the ability of our majority shareholder to control our major corporate decisions and a majority of our 

directors are not considered “independent”;

• the ability to obtain performance bonds on acceptable terms to guarantee our performance under certain 

contracts;

• extraordinary events affecting parking at facilities that we manage, including emergency safety measures, 

military or terrorist attacks and natural disasters;

• changes in federal and state regulations including those affecting airports, parking lots at airports or 

automobile use;

• the loss of key employees;

• changes in general economic and business conditions or demographic trends;

• development of new, competitive parking-related services; and

• the other factors discussed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, and Item 7,”Management’s Discussion and 

Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, and elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

All of our forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these factors. We undertake no 

obligation to update our forward-looking statements or risk factors to reflect new information, future 
events or otherwise, except as may be required under applicable securities laws and regulations.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS 

General 

PART I 

We are a leading national provider of parking facility management services. We provide on-site 
management services at multi-level and surface parking facilities for all major markets of the parking 
industry. We manage approximately 2,000 parking facilities, containing over one million parking spaces, in 
over 300 cities across the United States and Canada. Our diversified client base includes some of the 
nation’s largest private and public owners, managers and developers of major office buildings, residential 
properties, commercial properties, shopping centers and other retail properties, sports and special event 
complexes, hotels, and hospitals and medical centers, including properties such as the MET Life Building 
in New York, the Four Seasons Hotel in Chicago, Harvard Medical School in Cambridge, Nationwide 
Arena in Columbus, Westfield Shoppingtown Century City in Los Angeles, and Greenway Plaza in 
Houston. In addition, we manage 118 parking-related and shuttle bus operations serving over 50 airports, 
including Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and Dallas/Fort 
Worth International Airport. 

Since entering the parking business in 1929, we have focused on providing our clients with superior 

management services to attract customers. We believe that our management services, coupled with a 
leading position in our core markets, helps to maximize profitability per parking facility for both us and our 
clients. We believe that we have created our leading position by providing: 

• Ambiance in Parking®, an approach to parking that includes on-site, value-added services and 

amenities; 

•  service enhancing information technology, including ClientView™, a proprietary client reporting 

system that allows us to provide our clients with on-line access to site-level financial and operating 
information; 

•  comprehensive training programs for on-site employees, including our web-based Standard 
University® training programs that promote customer service and client retention; and 

•  an internal audit and contract compliance group to monitor cash and operational controls. 

Moreover, as a public company subject to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 
and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we adhere to accounting, internal control and reporting standards that are 
more rigorous than those typically followed by our non-public competitors. 

We believe that these factors distinguish us from our competitors and contribute to our high retention 
rate, which averaged 91% for the year ended December 31, 2006 (which statistic includes the impact of our 
decision to exit from unprofitable contracts). 

We do not own any parking facilities and, as a result, we assume few of the risks of real estate 
ownership. We operate our clients’ parking properties through two types of arrangements: management 
contracts and leases. Under a management contract, we typically receive a base monthly fee for managing 
the facility, and we may also receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of facility performance 
objectives. We also receive fees for ancillary services. Typically, all of the underlying revenues and 
expenses under a standard management contract flow through to our client rather than to us. Under lease 
arrangements, we generally pay either a fixed annual rent, a percentage of gross customer collections, or a 
combination thereof to the property owner. We collect all revenues under lease arrangements and we are 
responsible for most operating expenses, but we are typically not responsible for major maintenance, 
capital expenditures or real estate taxes. As of December 31, 2006, we operated 88% of our locations 
under management contracts and 12% under leases. 

4

We also provide a range of ancillary services to satisfy client needs such as municipal meter collection 

and valet parking. 

Industry Overview 

General 

The International Parking Institute, a trade organization of parking professionals, estimates that as of 
December 2002 (the latest year for which numbers are available) there were approximately 40,000 parking 
facilities in the United States generating over $29.0 billion in gross customer collections. Industry 
participants, the vast majority of which are privately held companies, consist of relatively few nationwide 
companies and hundreds of small regional or local operators, including a substantial number of companies 
that provide parking as an ancillary service in connection with property management or ownership. The 
parking industry from time to time experiences consolidation as smaller operators find that they lack the 
financial resources, economies of scale and management techniques required to compete with larger 
providers. We expect this trend will continue and provide larger parking management companies with 
opportunities to win business and acquire smaller operators. 

Operating Arrangements 

Parking facilities operate under three general types of arrangements: management contracts, leases 

and ownership. The general terms and benefits of these three types of arrangements are as follows: 

Management Contracts.  Under a management contract, the facility operator generally receives a base 
monthly fee for managing the facility and may receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of facility 
performance objectives. Facility operators generally charge fees for various ancillary services such as 
accounting, equipment leasing and consulting. Responsibilities under a management contract include 
hiring, training and staffing parking personnel, and providing revenue collection, accounting, record-
keeping, insurance and facility marketing services. In general, under a management contract, the facility 
operator is not responsible for structural or mechanical repairs, and typically is not responsible for 
providing security or guard services. Under typical management contracts, the facility owner is responsible 
for operating expenses such as taxes, license and permit fees, insurance premiums, payroll and accounts 
receivable processing and wages of personnel assigned to the facility. However, some management 
contracts, which are referred to as “reverse” management contracts, usually provide for larger 
management fees and require the facility operator to pay certain of these costs. Generally under 
management contracts, the facility owner is responsible for non-routine maintenance, repair costs and 
capital improvements. Management contracts are typically for a term of one to three years (though the 
client often reserves the right to terminate, without cause, on 30 days’ notice) and may contain a renewal 
clause. 

Leases.  Under a lease arrangement, the parking facility operator generally pays to the property 
owner either a fixed annual rent, a percentage of facility revenues, or a combination thereof. The parking 
facility operator collects all revenues and is responsible for most operating expenses, but is typically not 
responsible for major maintenance, capital expenditures or real estate taxes. In contrast to management 
contracts, leases are typically for terms of three to ten years, often contain a renewal term, and provide for 
a fixed payment to the facility owner regardless of the facility’s operating earnings. However, many of these 
leases may be cancelled by the client for various reasons, including development of the real estate for other 
uses. Some are cancelable by the client on as little as 30 days’ notice without cause. Leased facilities 
generally require a longer commitment and a larger capital investment by the parking facility operator than 
do managed facilities. 

Ownership.  Ownership of parking facilities, either independently or through joint ventures, typically 

requires a larger capital investment and greater potential risks and rewards than managed or leased 

5

facilities. All owned facility revenues flow directly to the owner, and the owner has the potential to realize 
benefits of appreciation in the value of the underlying real estate. The owner of a parking facility is 
responsible for all obligations related to the property, including all structural, mechanical and electrical 
maintenance and repairs and property taxes. Due to the high cost of real estate in many major urban 
markets, ownership of parking facilities usually requires large capital investments. Standard Parking does 
not own any parking facilities. 

Industry Growth Dynamics 

A number of opportunities for growth exist for larger parking facility operators, including the 

following: 

Growth of Large Property Managers, Owners and Developers.  Over the past several years, there has 

been a substantial increase in the number of national property managers, owners and developers with 
multiple locations. Sophisticated property owners consider parking a profit center that experienced 
parking facility management companies can maximize. This dynamic favors larger parking facility 
operators that can provide specialized, value-added professional services with nationwide coverage. In 
order to streamline their business, many of these large national property managers, owners and developers 
have reduced the number of suppliers with which they conduct business. 

Increased Outsourcing of Parking Management and Related Services.  Growth in the parking 
management industry has resulted from a continuing trend by parking facility owners to outsource the 
management of their parking and related operations to independent operators. We believe that entities 
such as large property management managers, owners and developers as well as cities, municipal 
authorities, hospitals and universities will increasingly retain parking management companies to operate 
facilities and provide related services in an effort to focus on their core competencies, reduce operating 
budgets and increase profitability and efficiency. We believe this trend is expanding to include outsourcing 
of shuttle bus operations, municipal meter collection and valet parking. 

Industry Consolidation.  The parking management industry is highly fragmented, with hundreds of 

small regional or local operators. We believe national parking facility operators have a competitive 
advantage over local and regional operators by reason of their: 

•  broad product and service offerings; 

•  relationships with large, national property managers, developers and owners; 

•  efficient cost structure due to economies of scale; and 

•  financial resources to invest in infrastructure and information systems. 

Growth Strategy 

We believe we are well positioned to pursue the following growth strategies: 

Grow Contract Portfolio Within Our Core Markets.  Our strategy is to increase our presence and 
profitability in our core markets by continuing to provide sophisticated parking services and by capitalizing 
on our economies of scale and operating efficiency. This concentration of locations gives us the ability to 
spread administrative overhead costs across a large number of parking facilities in a single market. We 
plan to continue to maximize our premium service, local market knowledge and management 
infrastructure to retain existing locations and compete aggressively for new business in these core markets. 
We regularly review potential acquisition opportunities to enhance our position in our core markets. 

Enhance Client Relationships Through Additional Services.  We believe we can deepen our 

relationships with existing clients and attract new clients by continuing to offer additional services that 

6

complement our parking expertise, such as shuttle bus, taxi-dispatch, municipal meter collection, and valet-
parking services. By offering these services to our clients, we increase our revenues and gross profit per 
location and strengthen our client relationships, which should enhance our ability to win new contracts and 
increase our retention rate. 

Develop New Market Opportunities.  We believe that a significant opportunity exists for us to expand 

our presence in markets such as university campus parking and hospital parking. In addition to our long-
standing relationships with Harvard Medical School, Northwestern University and Northwestern Memorial 
Hospital, we have more recently expanded our presence in these markets to provide parking services at 
George Mason University and Boston University. In addition to expanded growth opportunities in the 
hospital and university markets, we see significant potential within the municipal on-street market, 
including the prospect of providing enforcement services. We currently provide exclusive meter collection 
and management services for the Cities of Miami Beach, Florida, Ft. Myers, Florida and New Orleans, 
Louisiana. 

Develop New Core Markets.  We believe that numerous opportunities for growth are available by 
developing new core markets either through new contracts, acquisitions, alliances or partnerships. Our 
clients generally have a presence in a variety of urban markets where they seek to outsource the 
management of their parking facilities to a national parking service provider that can assist them in 
maximizing parking-related profit. One of our strategies is to strengthen our client relationships to 
facilitate the addition of new locations and our strategic identification and development of new geographic 
markets.

Pursue Selective Acquisitions.  We believe that many of our growth strategies can be supplemented by 

selective small and large acquisitions, including acquisitions in one or more of our core markets, 
acquisitions expanding the ancillary services we can offer to our clients, and acquisitions in new geographic 
or vertical markets or new lines of business. We intend to apply a disciplined approach in evaluating 
acquisition opportunities, with the objective of identifying opportunities that can be consummated at 
reasonable valuations and that have the potential to enhance our future earnings and cash flow. 

Services 

As a professional parking management company, we provide a comprehensive, turn-key package of 

parking services to our clients. Under a typical management contract structure, we are responsible for 
providing and supervising all personnel necessary to facilitate daily parking operations including cashiers, 
porters, valet attendants, managers, bookkeepers, and a variety of maintenance, marketing, customer 
service, and accounting and revenue control functions. By way of example, our typical day-to-day operating 
duties, whether performed using our own personnel or subcontracted vendors, include: 

•  Collection and deposit of daily and monthly parking revenues from all parking customers. 

•  Daily housekeeping to maintain the facility in a clean and orderly manner. 

•  Restriping of the parking stalls as necessary. 

•  Routine maintenance of parking equipment (e.g., ticket dispensing machines, parking gate arms, fee 

computers). 

•  Marketing efforts designed to maximize gross parking revenues. 

•  Delivery of courteous and professional customer relations. 

•  Painting of walkways, curbs, ceilings, walls or other facility surfaces. 

•  Snow removal from sidewalks and driveways. 

7

The scope of our management services typically also includes a number of functions that support the 

basic daily facility operations, such as: 

•  Preparation of an annual operating budget reflecting our estimates of the annual gross parking 

revenues that the facility will generate from its parking customers, as well as the costs and expenses 
to be incurred in connection with the facility’s operation. 

•  Evaluation and analysis of, and consultation with our clients with respect to, price structures that 

will optimize our client’s revenue objectives. 

•  Consultation with our clients regarding which of our customer amenities are appropriate and/or 

desirable for implementation at the client’s parking facility. 

•  Implementation of a wide range of operational and revenue control processes and procedures, 
including internal audit procedures, designed to maximize and protect the facility’s parking 
revenues. Compliance with our mandated processes and procedures is supervised by a dedicated 
fifteen person internal audit and contract compliance group. 

•  Consultation with our clients regarding any recommended modifications in facility design or traffic 
flow, or the installation of new or updated parking equipment, designed both to enhance the ease 
and convenience of the parking experience for the parking customers and to maximize facility 
profitability. 

•  Monthly reporting to our clients regarding the facility’s operating results. For those clients who wish 
to directly access their financial reporting information on-line, we offer the use of our proprietary
ClientViewSM client reporting system, which provides on-line access to site-level financial and 
operating information. 

Ancillary Services 

Beyond the conventional parking facility management services described above, we also offer an 

expanded range of ancillary services. For example: 

•  At various airports throughout the United States, we provide shuttle bus vehicles and the drivers to 
operate them in support of on-airport car rental operations as well as private off-airport parking 
locations. 

•  At certain airports, we provide ancillary ground transportation services, such as taxi and livery 

dispatch services, as well as concierge-type ground transportation information and support services 
for arriving passengers. 

•  For municipalities, we provide basic shuttle bus services, on-street parking meter collection and 

other forms of parking enforcement services. 

•  Within the medical center and hospital market, we provide valet parking and shuttle bus services. 

Amenities and Customer Service Programs 

We offer a comprehensive package of amenity and customer service programs, branded as Ambiance 

in Parking® , that can be provided to our customers, many at nominal or no cost to the client. These 
programs not only make the parking experience more enjoyable, but also convey a sense of the client’s 
sensitivity to and appreciation of the needs of its parking customers. In doing so, we believe the programs 
serve to enhance the value of the parking properties themselves. 

Musical Theme Floor Reminder System.  Our musical theme floor reminder system is designed to help 
customers remember the garage level on which they parked. A different song is played on each floor of the 

8

parking garage. Each floor also displays distinctive signage and graphics that correspond with the floor’s 
theme. For example, in one parking facility with U.S. colleges as a theme, a different college logo is 
displayed, and that college’s specific fight song is heard, on each parking level. Other parking facilities have 
themes such as famous recording artists, musical instruments, and professional sports teams. 

Books-To-Go® Audiotape Library.  Monthly customers can borrow—free of charge—audio tapes to 
which they can listen as they drive to and from work. A wide selection of fiction, non-fiction and business 
titles is maintained in the facility office. 

Films-To-Go® Videotape Library.  This amenity builds on the success of our popular Books-To-Go®

program. Videotapes of many popular movie titles are stocked in the parking facility office and made 
available free of charge to monthly customers. The movie selections are updated on a regular basis. 

Little Parkers® Child-Friendly Facilities.  This amenity creates a family atmosphere at the parking 

facility. Customers may use baby changing stations installed in the public restrooms. Kids appreciate the 
distribution of free toys such as bubble bottles, coloring books and stuffed animals. 

Complimentary Driver Assistance Services.  Parking facility attendants provide a wide range of 
complimentary services to customers with car problems. Assistance can include charging weak batteries, 
inflating/changing tires, cleaning windshields and refilling windshield washer fluid. Attendants also can 
help customers locate their vehicles and escort them to their cars. 

Standard Equipment & Technology Upgrade Program® Services (SETUP®).  Standard Parking provides 

clients with a complete turnkey solution to managing all phases of new equipment projects, from initial 
design to installation to ongoing maintenance. Our design team will suggest a complete solution intended 
to return to our clients the greatest value for their investment based upon consideration of a wide array of 
choices as to both equipment (such as Pay-On-Foot, Automated Vehicle Identification and Automated 
Credit/Debit Card machine technology) and services (procurement, project management, installation and 
maintenance). 

Standard Road Assist® Emergency Services.  Parking customers experiencing vehicle problems beyond 

weak batteries and low tire pressure call our toll-free number to receive, on a pay-per-use basis, a basic 
package of emergency services, including towing up to five miles, jump starting, flat tire changing, fuel 
delivery, extracting a vehicle from the side of the road and lock-out service. The emergency services are 
provided at the parking facility or anywhere on the road. 

CarCareSM Maintenance Services.  A car service vendor will pick-up a customer’s car from the parking 

facility, contact the customer with an estimate, service the car during normal working hours and return it to 
the facility before the end of the business day. 

ParkNet® Traffic Information System.  The system provides customers with continuously updated 
traffic reports on a site-specific basis so that drivers can learn not only about traffic conditions on the area 
highways, but also about conditions in the immediate vicinity of the parking facility. 

Automated Teller Machines.  On-site ATM machines provide customers access to cash from 

bankcards and credit cards. We arrange for the installation of the machine, operated and maintained by an 
outside vendor. The parking facility realizes supplemental income from a fixed monthly rent and a share of 
usage transaction fees. 

Complimentary Courtesy Umbrellas and Flashlights.  Courtesy umbrellas are loaned to customers on 
rainy days. A similar lending program can be implemented to provide flashlights in emergency situations or 
power outages. 

Complimentary Services/Customer Appreciation Days.  Our clients select from a variety of 

complimentary services that we provide as a special way of saying “thank you” to our parking customers. 

9

Depending on client preferences, coffee, donuts and/or newspapers occasionally are provided to customers 
during the morning rush hour. On certain holidays, candy, with wrappers that can be customized with the 
facility logo, can be distributed to customers as they exit. We also can distribute personalized promotional 
items, such as ice scrapers and key-chains. 

Business Development 

Our efforts to attract new clients are primarily concentrated in and coordinated by a dedicated 
business development group, currently comprised of 11 individuals, whose background and expertise is in 
the field of sales and marketing, and whose financial compensation is determined to a significant extent by 
their business development success. This business development group is responsible for forecasting sales, 
maintaining a pipeline of prospective and existing clients, initiating contacts with such clients, and then 
following through to coordinate meetings involving those clients and the appropriate members of our 
operations hierarchy. By concentrating our sales efforts through this dedicated group, we enable our 
operations personnel to focus on achieving excellence in our parking facility operations and maximizing 
our clients’ parking profits and our own profitability. 

We also place a specific focus on marketing and client relationship efforts that pertain to those clients 
having a large regional or national presence. Accordingly, we assign a dedicated executive to those clients 
to address any existing portfolio issues, as well as to reinforce existing—and develop new—account 
relationships and to take any other action that may further our business development interests. 

Operations 

We maintain regional and city offices throughout the United States and Canada in order to support 
approximately 12,000 employees and approximately 2,000 parking facility operations. These offices serve as 
the central bases through which we provide the employees to staff our parking facilities as well as the on-
site and support management staff to oversee those operations. Our administrative staff accountants are 
based in those same offices and facilitate the efficient, accurate and timely production and delivery to our 
clients of our monthly reports. Having these all-inclusive operations and accounting teams located in 
regional and city offices throughout the United States and Canada allows us to add new locations quickly 
and in a cost-efficient manner. To facilitate the training of our facility personnel throughout the country, 
we have separate, dedicated trainers. 

Our overall basic corporate functions in the areas of finance, human resources, risk management, 
legal, purchasing and procurement, general administration, strategy and information and technology, are 
based in our Chicago corporate office. The Chicago corporate office also supports and promotes 
consistency throughout our field operations by developing and administering our operational, financial and 
administrative policies, practices and procedures.

Clients and Properties 

Our client base includes a diverse cross-section of public and private owners, developers and 

managers of real estate. A list of some of our clients, and the types of properties for which we operate their 
parking, include:

No single client represented more than 6.0% of revenues or more than 5.0% of our gross profit for the 

year ended December 31, 2006. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we 
retained an average of 91% of our locations (which statistic includes the impact of our decision to exit from 
unprofitable contracts). 

Information Technology 

We believe that automation and technology can enhance customer convenience, lower labor costs, 

improve cash management and increase overall profitability. We have been a leader in the field of 
introducing automation and technology to the parking business and we were among the first to adopt 
electronic fund transfer (EFT) payment options, pay-on-foot (ATM) technology and bar code decal 
technology. 

To promote internal efficiency, we have created advanced information systems that connect local 
offices across the country to our corporate headquarters. These systems support accounting, financial 
management and reporting practices, general operating procedures, training, employment policies, cash 
controls and marketing procedures. Our commitment to the application of technology in the parking 
management business has resulted in the creation of a proprietary product, ClientView™. ClientView™ is an 
Internet-based system that gives our clients the flexibility and convenience to access and download their 
monthly financials and detailed back-up reports. We believe that our standardized processes and controls 
enhance our ability to successfully add new locations and expand our operations into new markets. 

Employees 

As of December 31, 2006, we employed approximately 12,000 individuals, including approximately 

6,800 full-time and 5,200 part-time employees. As of December 31, 2005, we employed approximately 
11,300 individuals, including approximately 6,800 full-time and 4,500 part-time employees. Approximately 
22.7% of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. No single collective bargaining 
agreement covers a material number of employees. We believe that our employee relations are good. 

11 

 
 
Insurance 

We purchase comprehensive liability insurance covering certain claims that occur at parking facilities 
we lease or manage. The primary amount of such coverage is $2.0 million per occurrence and $2.0 million 
in the aggregate per facility for our garage liability and garage keepers legal liability coverages. In addition, 
we purchase workers’ compensation insurance for all eligible employees and umbrella/excess liability 
coverage. Under our various liability and workers’ compensation insurance policies, we are obligated to 
reimburse the insurance carrier for the first $250,000 of any loss. As a result, we are, in effect, self-insured 
for all claims up to that deductible level. We utilize a third-party administrator to process and pay claims. 
We also purchase property insurance that provides coverage for loss or damage to our property and in 
some cases our clients’ property, as well as business interruption coverage for lost operating income and 
certain associated expenses. The deductible applicable to any given loss under our property insurance 
policy varies based upon the insured values and the peril that causes the loss. We also purchase group 
health insurance with respect to eligible full-time employees and family members (whether such employees 
work at leased or managed facilities) and are fully-insured for all covered expenses. We believe that our 
insurance coverage is adequate and consistent with industry practice. 

Because of the size of the operations covered and our claims experience, we purchase insurance 
policies at prices that we believe represent a discount to the prices that would typically be charged to 
parking facility owners on a stand-alone basis. The clients for whom we operate parking facilities pursuant 
to management contracts have the option of purchasing their own liability insurance policies (provided 
that we are named as an additional insured pursuant to an additional insured endorsement), but 
historically most of our clients have chosen to obtain insurance coverage by being named as additional 
insureds under our master liability insurance policies. Pursuant to our management contracts we charge to 
such clients an allocated portion of our insurance-related costs at rates that we believe are competitive. A 
material reduction or increase in the number of clients who obtain their insurance coverage by being 
named as additional insureds under our liability policies could have a material effect on our operating 
income. In addition, a material change in insurance costs due to a change in the number or severity of 
claims, or an increase in claims costs or premiums paid by us, could have a material effect on our operating 
income. 

Competition 

The parking industry is fragmented and highly competitive, with limited barriers to entry. We face 
direct competition for additional facilities to manage or lease, while our facilities themselves compete with 
nearby facilities for our parking customers and in the labor market generally for qualified employees. 
Moreover, the construction of new parking facilities near our existing facilities can adversely affect our 
business. There are few national parking management companies that compete with us. We also face 
competition from numerous smaller, locally owned independent parking operators, as well as from 
developers, hotels, national financial services companies and other institutions that manage their own 
parking facilities as well as facilities owned by others. Many municipalities and other governmental entities 
also operate their own parking facilities, potentially eliminating those facilities as management or lease 
opportunities for us. Some of our present and potential competitors have or may obtain greater financial 
and marketing resources than us, which may negatively impact our ability to retain existing contracts and 
gain new contracts. We face significant competition in our efforts to provide ancillary services such as 
shuttle bus services and on-street parking enforcement because several large companies specialize in these 
services. 

Seasonality 

During the first quarter of each year, seasonality impacts our performance with regard to moderating 
revenues, with the reduced levels of travel most clearly reflected in the parking activity associated with our 

12 

airport and hotel businesses as well as increases in certain costs of parking services, such as snow removal, 
both of which negatively affect gross profit. Although our revenues and profitability are affected by the 
seasonality of the business, general and administrative costs are relatively stable throughout the fiscal year. 
See Item 6, Selected Financial Data, for further information. 

Regulation 

Regulations by the Federal Aviation Administration may affect our business. The FAA generally 

prohibits parking within 300 feet of airport terminals during times of heightened alert. The 300 foot 
rule and new regulations may prevent us from using a number of existing spaces during heightened security 
alerts at airports. Reductions in the number of parking spaces may reduce our gross profit and cash flow 
for both our leased facilities and those facilities we operate under management contracts. 

Our business is not otherwise substantially affected by direct governmental regulation, although both 
municipal and state authorities sometimes directly regulate parking facilities. We are affected by laws and 
regulations (such as zoning ordinances) that are common to any business that deals with real estate and by 
regulations (such as labor and tax laws) that affect companies with a large number of employees. In 
addition, several state and local laws have been passed in recent years that encourage car pooling and the 
use of mass transit. Laws and regulations that reduce the number of cars and vehicles being driven could 
adversely impact our business. 

We collect and remit sales/parking taxes and file tax returns for and on behalf of us and our clients. 

We are affected by laws and regulations that may impose a direct assessment on us for failure to remit 
sales/parking taxes or to file tax returns for ourselves and on behalf of our clients. 

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or 

previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of 
hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. Such laws typically impose liability without 
regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous 
or toxic substances. In connection with the operation of parking facilities, we may be potentially liable for 
any such costs  In addition, from time to time we are involved in environmental issues at certain of our 
locations or in connection with our operations. While it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of any 
of these matters, based on information currently available, management believes that none of these 
matters, individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our 
financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. The cost of defending against claims of liability, or 
of remediating a contaminated property, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or 
results of operations. 

Various other governmental regulations affect our operation of parking facilities, both directly and 
indirectly, including the ADA. Under the ADA, all public accommodations, including parking facilities, 
are required to meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. For 
example, the ADA requires parking facilities to include handicapped spaces, headroom for wheelchair 
vans, attendants’ booths that accommodate wheelchairs and elevators that are operable by disabled 
persons. When negotiating management contracts and leases with clients, we generally require that the 
property owner contractually assume responsibility for any ADA liability in connection with the property. 
There can be no assurance, however, that the property owner has assumed such liability for any given 
property and there can be no assurance that we would not be held liable despite assumption of 
responsibility for such liability by the property owner. Management believes that the parking facilities we 
operate are in substantial compliance with ADA requirements.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS 

You should carefully consider the following specific risk factors as well as other information contained 

or incorporated by reference in this report, as these, among others, are important factors that could cause 
our actual results to differ from our historical results. It is not possible to predict or identify all such 
factors. Consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete statement of all potential 
risks or uncertainties applicable to our business. 

Our management contracts and leases expose us to certain risks. 

The loss or renewal on less favorable terms of a substantial number of management contracts or leases 

could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In 
addition, because certain management contracts and leases are with state, local and quasi-governmental 
entities, changes to certain governmental entities’ approaches to contracting regarding parking facilities 
could affect such contracts. A material reduction in the operating income associated with ancillary services 
we provide under management contracts and leases, including increases in costs or claims associated with, 
or a reduction in the number of clients obtaining insurance we provide, could have a material adverse 
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. To the extent that management 
contracts and leases are cancelable without cause, most of these contracts would also be cancelable in the 
event of our clients’ bankruptcy, despite the automatic stay provisions under bankruptcy law. 

We believe that our public and private client base is becoming more concentrated. 

Because national property owners, managers and developers and other property management 
companies tend to own or manage multiple properties, our ability to provide parking services for a large 
number of properties becomes dependent on our relationships with these entities. As this ownership 
concentration continues, such clients become more significant to our business. The loss of one of these 
large clients or the sale of properties they own to clients of our competitors could have a material adverse 
effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, large clients with 

14 

extensive portfolios have greater negotiating power with respect to our management contracts and leases, 
which could adversely affect our profit margins. 

In order to raise additional revenue, a number of state and municipal governments have either sold or 

entered into long-term leases of public assets or may be contemplating such transactions. The assets that 
are the subject of such transactions have included government-owned parking garages located in 
downtown commercial districts and in the future may include the parking operations at airports. The sale 
or long-term leasing of such government-owned parking assets to our competitors or clients of our 
competitors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of 
operations. 

Our business would be harmed if fewer clients obtain insurance coverage through us. 

Many of our clients have historically chosen to obtain liability insurance coverage for the locations we 

manage by being named as additional insureds under our master insurance policies. Clients do, however, 
have the option of purchasing such insurance independently, as long as we are named as an additional 
insured pursuant to an additional insured endorsement. We purchase insurance policies at prices that we 
believe represent a discount to the prices that would typically be charged to parking facility owners on a 
stand-alone basis. Pursuant to our management contracts, we allocate a portion of our risk management 
costs, at rates we believe are competitive, to those clients who choose to obtain their insurance coverage by 
being named as additional insureds under our insurance policies. A material reduction in the number of 
clients who choose to obtain their insurance coverage from us in that manner could have a material 
adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 

Our indebtedness could adversely affect our financial health and prevent us from fulfilling our 
obligations. 

We cannot assure you that cash flow from operations, combined with additional borrowings under the 

senior credit facility and any future credit facility will be available in an amount sufficient to enable us to 
repay our indebtedness, or to fund other liquidity needs. We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur 
substantial additional indebtedness in the future, which could cause the related risks to intensify. We may 
need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness on or before their respective maturities. We cannot 
assure you that we will be able to refinance any of our indebtedness, including our senior credit facility, on 
commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we are unable to refinance our debt, we may default under the 
terms of our indebtedness, which could lead to an acceleration of the debt. We do not expect that we could 
repay all of our outstanding indebtedness if the repayment of such indebtedness was accelerated. 

Our working capital and liquidity may be adversely affected if a significant number of our clients require 
us to deposit all parking revenues into their respective accounts. 

We frequently contract with clients to hold parking revenues in our account and remit the revenues, 
minus the operating expenses and our fee, to our clients at the end of the month. Some clients, however, 
require us to deposit parking revenues in their accounts on a daily basis. This type of arrangement requires 
us to pay costs as they are incurred and receive reimbursement and our management fee after the end of 
the month. There can be no assurance that a significant number of clients will not switch to the practice of 
requiring us to deposit all parking revenues into their respective accounts, which would have a material 
adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition. 

Additional funds would need to be reserved for future insurance losses if such losses are worse than 
expected. 

We provide liability and worker’s compensation insurance coverage consistent with our obligations to 

our clients under our various management contracts and leases. We are obligated to reimburse our 

15 

insurance carrier for each loss incurred in the current policy year up to the amount of a deductible 
specified in our insurance policies. The deductible for our various liability and workers’ compensation 
policies is $250,000. We also purchase property insurance that provides coverage for loss or damage to our 
property, and in some cases our clients’ property, as well as business interruption coverage for lost 
operating income and certain associated expenses. The deductible applicable to any given loss under our 
property insurance policy varies based upon the insured values and the peril that causes the loss. Our 
financial statements reflect our funding of all such obligations based upon guidance and evaluation we 
have received from third-party insurance professionals. There can be no assurance, however, that the 
ultimate amount of our obligations will not exceed the amount presently funded or accrued, in which case 
we would need to set aside additional funds to reserve for any such excess. Our obligations could increase 
if we receive a greater number of insurance claims or if the severity of, or the administrative costs 
associated with, those claims generally increases. A material increase in insurance costs due to a change in 
the number or severity of claims, claims costs or premiums paid by us could have a material adverse effect 
on our operating income. 

The failure to successfully complete or integrate possible future acquisitions or new contracts could have a 
negative impact on our business. 

We may pursue both small and large acquisitions in our business or in new lines of business on a 
selective basis, and we may be in discussions or negotiations with one or more of these acquisitions or new 
contract candidates simultaneously. There can be no assurance that suitable acquisitions or new contract 
candidates will be identified, that such acquisitions or new contracts will be consummated or that the 
acquired operations or new contracts will be integrated successfully. 

Acquisitions involve numerous risks, including (but not limited to) the following: 

•  Difficulties in integrating the operations, systems, technologies and personnel of the acquired 

companies, particularly companies with large and widespread operations. 

•  Diversion of management’s attention from normal daily operations of the business and the 
challenges of managing larger and more widespread operations resulting from acquisitions. 

•  Difficulties in entering markets or businesses in which we have no or limited direct prior experience 

and in which competitors have stronger market positions. 

•  Insufficient revenue to offset increased expenses associated with acquisitions. 

•  The potential loss of key employees, customers and other business partners of the companies we 

acquire following and continuing after announcement of acquisition plans and their actual 
consummation. 

Acquisitions may also cause us to: 

•  Use a substantial portion of our cash resources or incur a substantial amount of debt. 

•  Temporarily increase costs, including general and administrative cost, required to integrate 

acquisitions or large contract portfolios. 

•  Significantly increase our interest expense, leverage and debt service requirements if we incur 

additional debt to pay for an acquisition. 

•  Assume liabilities. 

16 

•  Issue common stock that would dilute our current shareholders’ percentage ownership. 

•  Record goodwill and non-amortizable intangible assets that are subject to impairment testing on a 

regular basis and potential periodic impairment charges. 

Mergers and acquisitions of companies are inherently risky and subject to many factors outside of our 

control and no assurance can be given that our previous or future acquisitions will be successful and will 
not materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Failure to 
manage and successfully integrate acquisitions could materially harm our business, financial condition and 
results of operations. 

Our parent company, Steamboat Industries LLC, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Steamboat Industries, 
N.V., both of which are controlled by our chairman, control our major corporate decisions, and the offer 
or sale of a substantial amount of our common stock by our controlling shareholder could have an adverse 
impact on the market price of our common stock. 

Our parent company, Steamboat Industries LLC, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Steamboat 
Industries N.V., both of which are controlled by our chairman, John V. Holten, owns 51.3%of our 
outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2006. As a result, Steamboat Industries LLC and its 
subsidiary control us, the election and removal of the directors on our board of directors, and our 
management and policies. Steamboat Industries LLC and its subsidiary also control all matters regarding 
stockholder approval, including the amendment of certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation 
and by-laws and the approval of fundamental corporate transactions. Steamboat Industries LLC and its 
subsidiary also have the ability to pledge shares of our common stock as security for their debt obligations. 
In the event that some or all of such pledged shares are foreclosed upon following default of such debt 
obligations, Mr. Holten may no longer control a majority of the voting power of our company. As of 
March 5, 2007, we have only 12,100,000 shares of common stock authorized, of which only 1,983,769 shares 
remain unissued after giving effect to all authorized options under our long-term incentive plan. As a 
result, we require the consent of Steamboat Industries LLC and its subsidiary in order to authorize and 
issue additional common stock in connection with corporate actions that may be beneficial to our business 
or to our stockholders, such as increasing the number of shares authorized under our Long-Term Incentive 
Plan for the retention of management, or in order to pursue acquisitions and mergers in exchange for 
stock. The ability of our parent company to control our major corporate decisions may harm the market 
price for our common stock by delaying, deferring or preventing a business combination involving our 
company, causing us to enter into transactions that are not in the best interests of all stockholders or 
discouraging third-party investors. 

Steamboat Industries LLC and its subsidiary are permitted to sell, dispose of or otherwise enter into 

other transactions involving significant amounts of our common stock under Rule 144 and other 
exemptions from registration under the federal securities laws. Steamboat Industries LLC also has 
transferable registration rights with respect to such common stock. The offer, sale, disposition or other 
such transactions involving substantial amounts of our common stock by these or other significant 
shareholders, particularly if such offers, sales, dispositions or transactions occur simultaneously or 
relatively close in time, could have a significant negative impact on our stock price. 

Our ability to expand our business will be dependent upon the availability of adequate capital. 

The rate of our expansion will depend in part upon the availability of adequate capital, which in turn 
will depend in large part upon cash flow generated by our business and the availability of equity and debt 
capital. We believe that we will be able to obtain equity or debt capital on acceptable terms. However, we 
will require the consent of Steamboat Industries LLC and its subsidiary in order to authorize and issue 
additional shares of common stock above the current number of shares of authorized capital stock, which 
may be required in connection with any future acquisitions. In addition, our senior credit facility contains 

17 

provisions that restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness and/or make substantial investments or 
acquisitions. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will be able to finance our current growth strategy. 

A majority of our board of directors are not considered “independent” under the rules of The NASDAQ 
Stock Market LLC. 

Steamboat Industries LLC and its subsidiary own a majority of our common stock. As a result, we are 

a “controlled company” under the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC., and we rely on the 
“controlled company” exception to the board of directors and committee composition requirements under 
rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. Pursuant to this exception, we are exempt from the rule that 
requires that (i) our board of directors be comprised of a majority of “independent directors” as defined 
under the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC; (ii) our compensation committee be comprised 
solely of “independent directors”; and (iii) our nominating and corporate governance committee be 
comprised solely of “independent directors”, as defined under the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market 
LLC. Because we rely upon this exemption, a majority of our board of directors are not considered 
“independent”. Furthermore, our compensation, nominating and corporate governance committees are 
not comprised solely of “independent directors,” as only one member out of the three member-directors 
on each committee is considered “independent” under the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. The 
“controlled company” exception does not modify the independence requirements of the audit committee. 

The sureties for our performance bond program may elect not to provide us with new or renewal 
performance bonds for any reason. 

As is customary in the industry, a surety provider can refuse to provide a bond principal with new or 

renewal surety bonds. If any existing or future surety provider refuses to provide us with surety bonds, 
there can be no assurance that we would be able to find alternate providers on acceptable terms, or at all. 
Our inability to provide surety bonds could also result in the loss of existing contracts. Failure to find a 
provider of surety bonds, and our resulting inability to bid for new contracts or renew existing contracts, 
could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. 

We may be unable to renew our insurance coverage and we do not maintain insurance coverage for all 
possible risks. 

Our liability and worker’s compensation insurance coverage expires on an annual basis. There can be 

no assurance that our insurance carriers will in fact be willing to renew our coverage at any rate at the 
expiration date. We maintain a comprehensive portfolio of insurance policies to help protect us against 
loss or damage incurred from a wide variety of insurable risks. Each year, we review with our professional 
insurance advisers whether the insurance policies and associated coverages that we maintain are sufficient 
to adequately protect us from the various types of risk to which we are exposed in the ordinary course of 
business. That analysis takes into account various pertinent factors such as the likelihood that we would 
incur a material loss from any given risk as well as the cost of obtaining insurance coverage against any 
such risk. While we believe that we maintain a comprehensive portfolio of insurance that is consistent with 
customary business practices and adequately protects us from the risks that we typically face in the 
ordinary course of our business, there can be no assurance that we may not sustain a material loss for 
which we do not maintain any, or adequate insurance coverage. 

Our business may be harmed as a result of extraordinary natural disasters. 

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused significant disruption to our operations in New Orleans and the 

U.S. Gulf Coast region, which adversely impacted our operating results for this region. To the extent that 
we experience similar weather related events in the U.S. Gulf Coast Region or in other geographical areas 

18 

where we operate, or experience other extraordinary natural events, such as earthquakes, our operating 
results may be adversely impacted. 

Our business may be harmed as a result of terrorist attacks and the related increase in government 
regulation of airports and reduced air travel. 

Any terrorist attacks, particularly in the United States or Canada, may negatively impact our business, 

financial condition and results of operations. Attacks have resulted in, and may continue to result in, 
increased government regulation of airlines and airport facilities, including imposition of minimum 
distances between parking facilities and terminals, resulting in the elimination of currently managed 
parking facilities, and increased security checks of employees and passengers at airport facilities. We derive 
a significant percentage of our gross profit from parking facilities and parking related services in and 
around airports. For the year ended December 31, 2006, approximately 19% of gross profit was derived 
from those operations. The Federal Aviation Administration generally prohibits parking within 300 feet of 
airport terminals during periods of heightened security. While the prohibition is not currently in effect, 
there can be no assurance that this governmental prohibition will not again be reinstated. The existing 
regulations governing parking within 300 feet of airport terminals or future regulations may prevent us 
from using certain parking spaces. Reductions in the number of parking spaces and air travelers may 
reduce our revenues and cash flow for both our leased facilities and those facilities we operate under 
management contracts. 

We must comply with regulations that may impose significant costs on us. 

Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or 

previous owner or operator of real property may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of 
hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. These laws typically impose liability without 
regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous 
or toxic substances. In connection with the operation of parking facilities, we may be potentially liable for 
such costs. In addition, from time to time we are involved in environmental issues at certain of locations or 
in connection with our operations. While it is difficult to predict the ultimate outcome of any of these 
matters, based on information currently available, management believes that none of these matters, 
individually or in the aggregate, are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial 
position, results of operations, or cash flows. The cost of defending against claims of liability, or 
remediation of a contaminated property, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial 
condition and results of operations. In addition, several state and local laws have been passed in recent 
years that encourage car pooling and the use of mass transit. Laws and regulations that reduce the number 
of cars and vehicles being driven could adversely impact our business. 

We collect and remit sales/parking taxes and file tax returns for and on behalf of ourselves and our 
clients. We are affected by laws and regulations that may impose a direct assessment on us for failure to 
remit sales/parking taxes and filing of tax returns for ourselves and on behalf of our clients. 

Prior transactions limit our ability to utilize our remaining net operating losses and may accelerate future 
payment of taxes. 

We have substantial net operating losses, or NOLs, for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes. As 
a result of the initial public offering completed in June 2004, an ownership change occurred under Internal 
Revenue Code Section 382 that limits our ability to use pre-change NOLs to reduce future taxable income. 

19 

The operation of our business is dependent upon key personnel. 

Our success is, and will continue to be, substantially dependent upon the continued services of our 

executive management team. The loss of the services of one or more of the members of our executive 
management team could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of 
operations. Although we have entered into employment agreements with, and historically have been 
successful in retaining the services of, our executive management, there can be no assurance that we will be 
able to retain them in the future. In addition, our continued growth depends upon our ability to attract and 
retain skilled operating managers and employees. 

Many of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. 

Approximately 22.7% of our employees are represented by labor unions. Approximately 18.0% of our 
collective bargaining contracts, representing 3.0% of our employees, are up for renewal in 2007. There can 
be no assurance that we will be able to renew existing labor union contracts on acceptable terms. 
Employees could exercise their rights under the labor union contract, which could include a strike or walk-
out. In such cases, there are no assurances that we would be able to staff sufficient employees for our 
short-term needs. Any such labor strike or our inability to negotiate a satisfactory contract upon expiration 
of the current agreements could have a negative effect on our business, financial condition and results of 
operations. 

We make contributions to multiemployer benefit plans on behalf of certain employees covered by 
collective bargaining agreements and could be responsible for paying unfunded liabilities incurred by such 
benefit plans, which amount could be material. 

We operate in a very competitive business environment. 

Competition in the field of parking facility management is intense. The market is fragmented and is 

served by a variety of entities ranging from single lot operators to large regional and national multi-facility 
operators, as well as municipal and other governmental entities that choose not to outsource their parking 
operations. Competitors may be able to adapt more quickly to changes in customer requirements, or 
devote greater resources to the promotion and sale of their products. Many of our competitors also have 
long-standing relationships with our clients. Providers of parking facility management services have 
traditionally competed on the basis of cost and service. As we have worked to establish ourselves as one of 
the principal members of the industry, we compete predominately on the basis of high levels of service and 
strong relationships. We may not be able to, or may choose not to, compete with certain competitors on 
the basis of price. As a result, a greater proportion of our clients may switch to other service providers or 
self-manage during an economic downturn. 

Economic and demographic trends could materially adversely affect our business. 

Our business operations are located in North America and tend to be concentrated in large urban 
areas. Our business could be materially adversely affected to the extent that economic or demographic 
factors result in the movement of white-collar jobs from urban centers to suburbs or even out of North 
America, increased office vacancies in urban areas or movement toward home office alternatives, or lower 
consumer spending or employment levels.

We have interests in 13 joint ventures, each of which operates between one and 22 parking facilities. 

We are the general partner of three limited partnerships, each of which operates between one and nine 
parking facilities. For additional information, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Summary of Operating Facilities.” 

Office Leases 

We lease approximately 24,000 square feet of office space for our corporate offices in Chicago, 

Illinois. The lease expires in 2013. The lease includes an expansion option for up to 6,000 additional square 
feet of space, and we have a right of first opportunity on an additional 24,000 square feet. We believe that 
the leased facility, together with our expansion options, is adequate to meet current and foreseeable future 
needs. 

We also lease regional offices. These lease agreements generally include renewal and expansion 
options, and we believe that these facilities are adequate to meet our current and foreseeable future needs. 

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

We are subject to various claims and legal proceedings that consist principally of lease and contract 

disputes. We consider these claims and legal proceedings to be routine and incidental to our business, and 
in the opinion of management, the ultimate liability with respect to these proceedings and claims will not 
materially affect our financial position, operations or liquidity. 

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS 

No matters were submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006.

As of March 5, 2007, there were approximately 2,637 holders of our common stock, based on the 
number of record holders of our common stock and an estimate of the number of individual participants 
represented by security position listings. 

We did not pay a cash dividend in respect of our common stock in 2006 or 2005. By the terms of our 

senior credit facility, we are restricted from paying cash dividends on our capital stock while such facility is 
in effect. 

In 2006, we redeemed from AP Holdings, Inc., our former parent, all of our issued and authorized 
Series D 18% preferred stock, which consisted of ten shares. The purchase price for the Series D preferred 
stock was $1.4 thousand, which included a redemption premium and accrued dividends. 

There are no restrictions on the ability of our wholly owned subsidiaries to pay cash dividends to us.

The following table presents selected historical consolidated financial data as of December 31, 2006, 
2005 and 2004, derived from our audited consolidated financial statements, which are included elsewhere 
herein. The table also presents selected historical consolidated financial data as of December 31, 2003 and

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS 

The following discussion of our results of operations should be read in conjunction with the “Selected 

Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere herein. 
This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results may 
differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, 
including, but not limited to, those set forth in Item 1A “Risk Factors” and elsewhere herein. 

Overview 

Our Business 

We manage parking facilities in urban markets and at airports across the United States and in three 

Canadian provinces. We do not own any facilities, but instead enter into contractual relationships with 
property owners or managers. 

We operate our clients’ parking properties through two types of arrangements: management contracts 

and leases. Under a management contract, we typically receive a base monthly fee for managing the 
facility, and we may also receive an incentive fee based on the achievement of facility performance 
objectives. We also receive fees for ancillary services. Typically, all of the underlying revenues and 
expenses under a standard management contract flow through to our clients rather than to us. However, 
some management contracts, which are referred to as “reverse” management contracts, usually provide for 
larger management fees and require us to pay various costs. Under lease arrangements, we generally pay to 
the property owner either a fixed annual rent, a percentage of gross customer collections or a combination 
thereof. We collect all revenues under lease arrangements and we are responsible for most operating 
expenses, but we are typically not responsible for major maintenance, capital expenditures or real estate 
taxes. Margins for lease contracts vary significantly, not only due to operating performance, but also due to 
variability of parking rates in different cities and varying space utilization by parking facility type and 
location. As of December 31, 2006, we operated 88% of our locations under management contracts and 
12% under leases. 

In evaluating our financial condition and operating performance, management’s primary focus is on 

our gross profit, total general and administrative expense and general and administrative expense as a 
percentage of our gross profit. Although the underlying economics to us of management contracts and 
leases are similar, the manner in which we are required to account for them differs. Revenue from leases 
includes all gross customer collections derived from our leased locations (net of parking tax), whereas 
revenue from management contracts only includes our contractually agreed upon management fees and 
amounts attributable to ancillary services. Gross customer collections at facilities under management 
contracts, therefore, are not included in our revenue. Accordingly, while a change in the proportion of our 
operating agreements that are structured as leases versus management contracts may cause significant 
fluctuations in reported revenue and expense of parking services, that change will not artificially affect our 
gross profit. For example, as of December 31, 2006, 88% of our locations were operated under 
management contracts and 81% of our gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2006 was derived 
from management contracts. Only 41% of total revenue (excluding reimbursement of management 
contract expenses), however, was from management contracts because under those contracts the revenue 
collected from parking customers belongs to our clients. Therefore, gross profit and total general and 
administrative expense, rather than revenue, are management’s primary focus. 

General Business Trends 

We believe that sophisticated commercial real estate developers and property managers and owners 
recognize the potential for parking and related services to be a profit generator rather than a cost center. 

25 

Often, the parking experience makes both the first and the last impressions on their properties’ tenants 
and visitors. By outsourcing these services, they are able to capture additional profit by leveraging the 
unique operational skills and controls that an experienced parking management company can offer. Our 
ability to consistently deliver a uniformly high level of parking and related services and maximize the profit 
to our clients improves our ability to win contracts and retain existing locations. Our retention rate for the 
twelve month periods ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 was 91%, which also reflects our 
decision not to renew, or to terminate, unprofitable contracts. 

We are also experiencing an increase in our ability to leverage existing relationships to increase the 
scope of services provided, thereby increasing the profit per location. For the year ended December 31, 
2006 compared to the year ended December 31, 2005, we improved average gross profit per location by 
4.7% from $36.6 thousand to $38.4 thousand. 

Summary of Operating Facilities 

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

Revenue 

We recognize parking services revenue from lease and management contracts as the related services 

are provided. Substantially all of our revenues come from the following two sources: 

• Parking services revenue—lease contracts.  Parking services revenues related to lease contracts 

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

• Parking services revenue—management contracts.  Management contract revenue consists of 

management fees, including both fixed and performance-based fees, and amounts attributable to 
ancillary services such as accounting, equipment leasing, payments received for exercising 
termination rights, consulting, development fees, gains on sales of contracts, insurance and other 
value-added services with respect to managed locations. Development fees received from a 
customer for which we have provided certain consulting services as part of our offerings of ancillary 
management services and gains from sales of contracts for which we have no asset basis or 
ownership interest and would be received as part of a formula buy-out. We believe we generally 
purchase required insurance at lower rates than our clients can obtain on their own because we 
effectively self-insure for all liability and worker’s compensation claims by maintaining a large per-
claim deductible. As a result, we have generated operating income on the insurance provided under 
our management contracts by focusing on our risk management efforts and controlling losses. 
Management contract revenues do not include gross customer collections at the managed locations 
as this revenue belongs to the property owner rather than to us. Management contracts generally 
provide us with a management fee regardless of the operating performance of the underlying 
facility. 

26 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Reimbursement of Management Contract Expense 

Reimbursement of management contract expense consists of the direct reimbursement from the 

property owner for operating expenses incurred under a management contract. 

Cost of Parking Services 

Our cost of parking services consists of the following: 

• Cost of parking services—lease contracts.  The cost of parking services under a lease arrangement 
consists of contractual rental fees paid to the facility owner and all operating expenses incurred in 
connection with operating the leased facility. Contractual fees paid to the facility owner are 
generally based on either a fixed contractual amount or a percentage of gross revenue or a 
combination thereof. Generally, under a lease arrangement we are not responsible for major capital 
expenditures or real estate taxes. 

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

Gross Profit 

Gross profit equals our revenue less the cost of generating such revenue. This is the key metric we use 

to examine our performance because it captures the underlying economic benefit to us of both lease 
contracts and management contracts. 

General and Administrative Expenses 

General and administrative expenses include salaries, wages, payroll taxes, insurance, travel and office 

related expenses for our headquarters, field offices and supervisory employees. 

Depreciation and Amortization 

Depreciation is determined using a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the various 

asset classes or in the case of leasehold improvements, over the initial term of the operating lease or its 
useful life, whichever is shorter. Intangible assets determined to have finite lives are amortized over their 
remaining useful life. 

Management Fee 

We recorded no management fee to AP Holdings, our former parent, in 2006 and 2005. The fee was 

terminated upon the closing of the initial public offering in June 2004. We recorded $1.5 million in 
management fees for the year ended December 31, 2004. 

Valuation Allowance Related to Long-Term Receivables 

Valuation allowance related to long-term receivables is recorded when there is an extended length of 

time estimated for collection of long-term receivables. 

Seasonality 

During the first quarter of each year, seasonality impacts our performance with regard to moderating 
revenues, with the reduced levels of travel most clearly reflected in the parking activity associated with our 
airport and hotel businesses as well as increases in certain costs of parking services, such as snow removal, 

27 

both of which negatively affect gross profit. Although our revenues and profitability are affected by the 
seasonality of the business, general and administrative costs are relatively stable throughout the fiscal year. 
See Item 6, “Selected Financial Data”, for further information. 

Results of Operations 

Hurricane Katrina 

We have a claim for $6.0 million, which consists of $3.0 million for property damage and $3.0 million 
for business interruption. The settlement of the claim has not been finalized, however, as of January 2007 
we have received partial payments from the insurance carrier totaling $2.0 million. We are required to 
reimburse the owners of the leased and managed locations for property damage of $2.2 million, of which 
$0.5 million was accrued for as of December 31, 2005 and the remaining $1.7 million accrued for as of 
December 31, 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we also recorded $0.3 million for the recovery 
from insurers of recognized losses on nonmonetary assets, which have been reflected as a reduction in cost 
of sales. 

Fiscal 2006 Compared to Fiscal 2005 

Parking services revenue—lease contracts.  Lease contract revenue decreased $0.8 million, or 0.5%, to 
$153.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $154.1 million in the year-ago period. 
This decrease resulted from a reductions in revenue related to contract expirations of $15.2 million, offset 
by an increase of $7.3 million in revenues from new locations and an increase in same location revenue of 
$7.1 million. The increase in same location revenue was due to increases in short-term parking revenue of 
$4.4 million, or 5.3%, and an increase in monthly parking revenue of $2.7 million, or 6.6%. 

Parking services revenue—management contracts.  Management contract revenue increased $12.7 

million, or 13.5%, to $106.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $93.9 million in 
the year-ago period. This increase resulted from an increase of $11.4 million in revenues from new 
locations that was partially offset by reductions in revenue attributable to contract expirations of $4.9 
million and an increase in same location revenue of $6.2 million. The increase in same location revenue 
was primarily due to additional fees from reverse management locations and ancillary services. 

Reimbursement of management contract expense.  Reimbursement of management contract expenses 

increased $7.4 million, or 2.2%, to $346.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to 
$338.7 million for the year-ago period. This increase resulted from additional reimbursements for costs 
incurred on the behalf of owners. 

Cost of parking services—lease contracts.  Cost of parking services for lease contracts decreased $2.0 
million, or 1.4%, to $139.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $141.0 million in 
the year-ago period. This decrease resulted from reductions in costs attributable to contract expirations of 
$17.1 million that was partially offset by an increase in costs from new locations of $8.1 million and an 
increase in same location costs of $7.0 million. The increase in same location costs was due to increases in 
rent expense of $6.0 million, or 7.1%, due to percentage rental payments from increased revenue, $1.2 
million, or 9.0% for increases in payroll and payroll related expenses, partially offset by a decrease in other 
operating costs of $0.2 million. 

Cost of parking services—management contracts.  Cost of parking services for management contracts 

increased $7.9 million, or 21.3%, to $45.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to 
$37.1 million in the year-ago period. This increase resulted from an increase of $8.9 million in costs from 
new reverse management locations and an increase in same location costs of $2.7 million that was partially 
offset by reductions in costs attributable to contract expirations of $3.7 million.. The increase in same 
location costs was due to increases in payroll and payroll related costs of $3.0 million, partially offset by 

28 

decreases attributable to operating expenses on our reverse management locations of $0.3 million, or 
3.4%. 

Reimbursed management contract expense.  Reimbursed management contract expenses increased 
$7.4 million, or 2.2%, to $346.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $338.7 million 
for the year-ago period. This increase resulted from additional reimbursed costs incurred on the behalf of 
owners. 

Gross profit—lease contracts.  Gross profit for lease contracts increased $1.2 million, or 9.4%, to $14.3 

million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $13.1 million for the year-ago period. Gross 
margin for lease contracts increased to 9.3% at December 31, 2006, compared to 8.5% for the year-ago 
period. This margin increase was due to decreases in costs related to contract expirations. 

Gross profit—management contracts.  Gross profit for management contracts increased $4.8 million, 

or 8.4%, to $61.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $56.8 million for the year-
ago period. Gross margin for management contracts decreased to 57.8% for the year ended December 31, 
2006, compared to 60.5% for the year-ago period. This decrease was primarily due to increases in costs 
from new reverse management locations. 

General and administrative.  General and administrative expenses increased $2.3 million, or 5.9%, to 

$41.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $38.9 million for the year-ago period. 
This increase resulted primarily from increases in payroll and payroll related expenses of $2.4 million, $0.5 
million related to the adoption of FAS 123R, Sound Parking operations of $0.5 million, partially offset by a 
reduction in legal fees of $0.5 million, accounting and audit fees of $0.2 million, outsourcing related to our 
IT function of $0.2 million and other operating expenses of $0.2 million. 

Valuation allowance related to long-term receivables.  We recorded no additional valuation allowance 

related to long term receivables for the year ended December 31, 2006, compared to $0.9 million in the 
year-ago period. The valuation allowance in 2005 related to a long-term receivable for a facility in 
Minnesota where a breakdown in negotiations to restructure the contract had occurred. The allowance for 
the entire outstanding receivable was recorded due to the uncertainty of future collection. The contract 
expired on May 31, 2006 and we have not received any collections on the outstanding amounts. The 
allowance was written off in 2006. 

Interest expense.  Interest expense decreased $1.1 million, or 11.7%, to $8.3 million for the year ended 

December 31, 2006, compared to $9.4 million for the year-ago period. This decrease resulted primarily 
from the redemption of the 91⁄4% Senior Subordinated Notes and the refinancing of our senior credit 
facility. 

Interest income.  Interest income decreased $0.2 million, or 34.4%, to $0.6 million for the year ended 

December 31, 2006, compared to $0.8 million for the year-ago period. The decrease resulted primarily 
from reduction of repayments received in 2006 for interest bearing guarantor payments related to Bradley 
International Airport. 

Income tax benefit.  Income tax benefit increased $14.9 million, to $14.9 for the year ended 
December 31, 2006, compared to $14 thousand for the year-ago period. The year ended December 31, 
2006 reflects the recognition of a reduction of the valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets of $23.9 
million offset by $9.0 million of current and deferred tax expense. We concluded in the fourth quarter of 
2006 that certain net operating loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets are more likely than not to 
be realized and accordingly, reduced the valuation allowance by the amount we considered recoverable.

Fiscal 2005 Compared to Fiscal 2004 

Hurricane Katrina 

Our operations were impacted by Hurricane Katrina during the year ended December 31, 2005 
compared to the year ended December 31, 2004. The impact was a $1.2 million reduction in net income 
compared to the year-ago period and the recording of a $0.5 million provision to cover the deductible 
portion of our casualty insurance program that we expect to incur in connection with the hurricane related 
insurance claim that we filed. 

Parking services revenue—lease contracts.  Lease contract revenue increased $5.3 million, net of 

$2.1 million attributable to Katrina, or 3.6%, to $154.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, 
compared to $148.8 million in the year-ago period. This increase resulted from an increase in same 
location revenue of $5.7 million, an increase of $13.5 million in revenues from new locations that was offset 
by reductions in revenue related to contract expirations of $13.9 million. The increase in some location 
revenue was due to increases in short-term parking revenue of $4.8 million, or 6.2%, and an increase in 
monthly parking revenue and other of $0.9 million, or 2.2%. 

Parking services revenue—management contracts.  Management contract revenue increased $10.2 

million, net of $0.2 million attributable to Katrina, or 12.1%, to $93.9 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2005, compared to $83.7 million in the year-ago period. This increase resulted from an 
increase of $8.9 million in revenues from new locations that was offset by reductions in revenue 
attributable to contract expirations of $6.3 million and an increase in same location revenue of $7.6 million. 
The increase in same location revenue was primarily due to additional fees from reverse management 
locations and ancillary services. 

Reimbursement of management contract expense.  Reimbursement of management contract expenses 

increased $7.5 million, or 2.3%, to $338.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to 
$331.2 million for the year-ago period. This increase resulted from additional reimbursements for costs 
incurred on the behalf of owners. 

Cost of parking services—lease contracts.  Cost of parking services for lease contracts increased $6.5 

million, net of a benefit of $0.7 million attributable to Katrina, or 4.8%, to $141.0 million for the year 
ended December 31, 2005, compared to $134.5 million in the year-ago period. This increase resulted from 
an increase of $13.2 million in costs from new locations that was offset by reductions in costs attributable to 
contract expirations of $12.8 million and an increase in same location costs of $6.1 million. The increase in 
same location revenue was due to increases in rent expense of $4.2 million, or 5.3%, due to percentage 
rental payments from increased revenue, $1.4 million, or 5.5% for increases in other operating costs and 
$0.5 million for a provision for the deductible portion of our casualty loss related to the impact of Katrina. 

Cost of parking services—management contracts.  Cost of parking services for management contracts 

increased $3.1 million, or 9.0%, to $37.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $34.0 
million in the year-ago period. This increase resulted from an increase of $6.1 million in costs from new 
locations that was partially offset by reductions in costs attributable to contract expirations of $4.4 million 
and an increase in same location costs of $1.4 million. The increase in same location revenue was due to 
increases attributable to operating expenses on our reverse management locations of $1.4 million, or 3.4%, 
and increases in other operating expenses of $0.3 million, offset by a net reduction of $0.3 million in 
compensation and benefits. 

Reimbursed management contract expense.  Reimbursed management contract expenses increased 
$7.5 million, or 2.3%, to $338.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $331.2 million 
for the year-ago period. This increase resulted from additional reimbursed costs incurred on the behalf of 
owners. 

30 

Gross profit—lease contracts.  Gross profit for lease contracts decreased $1.1 million, or 8.0%, to 

$13.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $14.2 million for the year-ago period. 
Gross margin for lease contracts decreased to 8.5% at December 31, 2005, compared to 9.5% for the year-
ago period. The margin decrease was due to the $0.5 million for a provision for the deductible portion of 
our casualty loss and $0.9 million in operations related to the impact of Katrina. 

Gross profit—management contracts.  Gross profit for management contracts increased $7.1 million, 
or 14.3%, to $56.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $49.7 million for the year-
ago period. Gross margin for management contracts increased to 60.5% for the year ended December 31, 
2005, compared to 59.3% for the year-ago period. This increase was primarily due to additional fees from 
reverse management locations and ancillary services. 

General and administrative.  General and administrative expenses increased $5.5 million, or 16.3%, to 

$38.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to $33.4 million for the year-ago period. 
This increase resulted primarily from increases in consulting and accounting fees incurred for regulation 
404 certification of $0.8 million, professional fees and due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions of 
$0.6 million, a previously announced one-time bonus to executive management of $0.3 million and 
increases in payroll, payroll related expenses, and other costs of $3.2 million. 

Management fee—parent company.  We recorded no management fee to AP Holdings, our former 
parent, in 2005. The fee was terminated upon the closing of the initial public offering in June 2004. We 
recorded $1.5 million in management fees for the year ended December 31, 2004. 

Valuation allowance related to long-term receivables.  We recorded $0.9 million as a valuation 
allowance related to long term receivables for the year ended December 31, 2005, compared to no 
allowance in the year-ago period. The valuation allowance relates to a long-term receivable for a facility in 
Minnesota where a breakdown in negotiations to restructure the contract has occurred. The allowance was 
recorded due to the uncertainty of future collections. 

Interest expense.  Interest expense decreased $4.0 million, or 29.7%, to $9.4 million for the year ended 

December 31, 2005, compared to $13.4 million for the year-ago period. The decrease resulted primarily 
from the redemption of the 14% Notes and refinancing our senior credit facility, in conjunction with our 
initial public offering in June 2004. 

Interest income.  Interest income increased $0.3 million, or 57.5%, to $0.8 million for the year ended 

December 31, 2005, compared to $0.5 million for the year-ago period. The increase resulted primarily from 
recognizing interest income due on the repayments received in 2005 for interest bearing guarantor 
payments related to Bradley International Airport. (See Note O to our consolidated financial statements.) 

Income tax (benefit) expense.  Income tax (benefit) decreased $0.1 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2005, compared to a benefit of $0.1 million for the year-ago period. The year ended 
December 31, 2005 reflects the recognition of a reduction of the valuation allowance for the deferred tax 
assets of $0.4 million offset by an increase of $0.5 million of current and foreign tax expense.

Unaudited Quarterly Results 

The following table sets forth our unaudited quarterly consolidated statement of income data for the 

years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005. The unaudited quarterly information has been 
prepared on the same basis as the annual financial information and, in management’s opinion, includes all 
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the information 
for the quarters presented. Historically, our revenues and operating results have varied from quarter to 
quarter and are expected to continue to fluctuate in the future. These fluctuations have been due to a 
number of factors, including: general economic conditions in our markets; additions of contracts; 
expiration and termination of contracts; conversion of lease contracts to management contracts; 
conversion of management contracts to lease contracts and changes in terms of contracts that are retained. 
The operating results for any historical quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for any future 
period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Outstanding Indebtedness 

On December 31, 2006, we had total indebtedness of approximately $85.7 million, a reduction of $6.4 

million from December 31, 2005. The $85.7 million includes: 

•  $77.1 million under our senior credit facility; and 

•  $8.6 million of other debt including capital lease obligations and obligations on seller notes and 

other indebtedness. 

We believe that our cash flow from operations, combined with available borrowing capacity under our 
senior credit facility, which amounted to $35.1 million at December 31, 2006, will be sufficient to enable us 
to pay our indebtedness, or to fund other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our 
indebtedness on or before their respective maturities. We believe that we will be able to refinance our 
indebtedness on commercially reasonable terms. 

Senior Credit Facility 

We entered into an amended and restated senior credit agreement as of June 29, 2006 with Bank of 

America, N.A. and LaSalle Bank, N.A., as co-administrative agents, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as 
syndication agent and four other lenders. This agreement amends and restates our credit facility dated 
June 2, 2004. 

The senior credit facility was increased from $90.0 million to $135.0 million. The $135.0 million 
revolving credit facility will expire on June 29, 2011. The revolving credit facility includes a letter of credit 
sub-facility with a sublimit of $50.0 million and a swing line sub-facility with a sublimit of $10.0 million. 

The revolving credit facility bears interest, at our option, at either (1) LIBOR plus the applicable 

LIBOR Margin ranging between 1.50% and 2.25% depending on the ratio of our total funded 
indebtedness to our EBITDA from time to time (“Total Debt Ratio”) or (2) the Base Rate (as defined 
below) plus the applicable Base Rate Margin ranging between 0.00% and 0.75% depending on our Total 
Debt Ratio. We may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months for LIBOR based borrowings. 
The Base Rate is the greater of (i) the rate publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, 
N.A. as its “prime rate”, or (ii) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50%. 

The senior credit facility includes the covenants; fixed charge ratio, total debt to EBITDA ratio and a 

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

At December 31, 2006, we were in compliance with all of our covenants. 

The weighted average interest rate on our Senior Credit Facility at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was 

5.9% and 4.4%, respectively. The rate includes all outstanding LIBOR contracts, interest rate cap effect 
and letters of credit. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings, not including letters of 
credit, was 7.2% and 5.6% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. 

At December 31, 2006, we had $22.8 million letters of credit outstanding under the senior credit 
facility, borrowings against the senior credit facility aggregated $77.1 million and we had $35.1 million 
available under the senior credit facility. 

33 

Interest Rate Cap Transactions 

We use a variable rate senior credit facility to finance our operations. This facility exposes us to 
variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense 
increases and conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense also decreases. We believe that it is 
prudent to limit the exposure of an increase in interest rates. 

To meet this objective, we entered into two interest rate cap transactions with LaSalle Bank National 
Association (“LaSalle”) in 2005, allowing us to continue to take advantage of LIBOR based pricing under 
our Credit Agreement while hedging our interest rate exposure on a portion of our borrowings under the 
Credit Agreement (“Rate Cap Transactions”). Under each Rate Cap Transaction, we receive payments 
from LaSalle at the end of each quarterly period to the extent that the prevailing three month LIBOR 
during that period exceeded our cap rate. The first Rate Cap Transaction capped our LIBOR rate on a 
$30.0 million principal balance at 2.5% for a total of 18 months, which matured on July 12, 2006, and for 
which we recognized a gain of $0.3 million over the life of the cap. For the years ended December 31, 2006 
and 2005, we recognized a gain of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, both of which were reported 
as a reduction of interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The second Rate Cap 
Transaction capped our LIBOR rate on a $15.0 million principal balance at 2.5% for a total of nine 
months, which matured on October 12, 2005, and for which we recognized a gain of $18 thousand that was 
reported as a reduction of interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended 
December 31, 2005. Each Rate Cap Transaction began as of January 12, 2005 and settled each quarter on 
a date that coincided with our quarterly interest payment dates under the credit agreement. 

In 2006 we entered into a third interest rate cap transaction with LaSalle, which allows us to limit our 

exposure on a portion of our borrowings under the Credit Agreement (“Rate Cap Transaction”). Under 
the third Rate Cap Transaction, we will receive payments from LaSalle each quarterly period to the extent 
that the prevailing three month LIBOR during that period exceeds our cap rate of 5.75%. The third Rate 
Cap Transaction caps our LIBOR interest rate on a notional amount of $50.0 million at 5.75% for a total 
of 36 months. The Rate Cap Transaction began as of August 4, 2006 and settles each quarter on a date that 
coincides with our quarterly interest payment dates under the credit agreement. 

At December 31, 2006, the $50.0 million Rate Cap Transaction is reported at its fair value of $0.1 

million and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Total 
changes in fair value of the Rate Cap Transaction have been $0.2 million and have been reflected in 
accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheet. $42 thousand of this change 
has been recorded as an increase of interest expense in the consolidated statement of income for the year 
ended December 31, 2006. 

We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes. 

Stock Repurchases 

On February 23, 2006, the Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase shares of our common 

stock, on the open market or through private purchases, for a value not to exceed $7.5 million. 

During the first quarter we repurchased 120,300 shares at an average price of $24.93 per share on the 
open market. The total value of the first quarter transactions was approximately $3.0 million. These shares 
were retired in March 2006. 

During the second quarter we repurchased 104,969 shares at an average price of $28.56 per share on 

the open market. The total value of the second quarter transactions was approximately $3.0 million. These 
shares were retired in July 2006. 

There were no repurchases in the third quarter. 

34 

In October 2006, the Board of Directors increased the authorization to repurchase shares of our 
common stock, on the open market or through private purchases, to $20.0 million. We repurchased certain 
shares in open market transactions from time to time and our majority shareholder agreed in each case to 
sell shares equal to its pro-rata ownership at the same price paid by us in each open market purchase. 
During the fourth quarter we repurchased 180,051 shares at an average price of $37.93 per share on the 
open market. Our majority shareholder sold to us 189,596 shares in the fourth quarter at an average price 
of $37.90 per share. The total value of the fourth quarter transactions was $14.0 million. 353,547 shares 
were retired in December 2006 and the remaining 16,100 shares were held as treasury stock and retired in 
January 2007. The fourth quarter purchases completed the increased repurchase program authorized by 
the Board of Directors in October 2006. 

On March 2005, the Board of Directors authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock for a 

value not to exceed $6.0 million. We repurchased certain shares in open market transactions from time to 
time and our majority shareholder agreed in each case to sell shares equal to its pro-rata ownership at the 
same price by us in each open market purchase. On March 15, 2005, we repurchased 93,170 shares at 
$15.60 per share on the open market. Our majority shareholder sold to us 99,136 shares at $15.60 per 
share. The total value of the transaction was approximately $3.0 million. 

During the second quarter of 2005 we repurchased 43,786 shares at an average price of $16.88 per 

share on the open market. Our majority shareholder sold to us 32,956 shares in the second quarter at an 
average price of $16.93 per share. The total value of the 2005 second quarter transactions was $1.3 million. 

During the third quarter of 2005 we repurchased 39,735 shares at an average price of $18.17 per share 

on the open market. Our majority shareholder sold to us 52,921 shares in the third quarter at an average 
price of $17.79 per share. The total value of the third quarter transactions was $1.7 million. The 2005 third 
quarter purchases completed the repurchase program authorized by the Board of Directors on March 4, 
2005. 

The Company retired the total 361,704 shares it purchased during the year ended December 31, 2005. 

Letters of Credit 

At December 31, 2006, we provided letters of credit totaling $22.4 million to our casualty insurance 

carriers to collateralize our casualty insurance program. 

As of December 31, 2006, we provided $0.4 million in letters of credit to collateralize other programs. 

Deficiency Payments 

Pursuant to our obligations with respect to the parking garage operations at Bradley International 

Airport, we are required to make certain payments for the benefit of the State of Connecticut and for 
holders of special facility revenue bonds. The deficiency payments represent contingent interest bearing 
advances to the trustee to cover operating cash flow requirements. The payments, if any, are recorded as a 
receivable by us for which we are reimbursed from time to time as provided in the trust agreement. As of 
December 31, 2006 we have advanced to the trustee $4.3 million, net of reimbursements. We believe these 
advances to be fully recoverable and therefore have not recorded a valuation allowance for them. We do 
not guarantee the payment of any principal or interest on any debt obligations of the State of Connecticut 
or the trustee. 

We received repayments (net of deficiency payments) of $0.6 million in the year ended December 31, 

2006 compared to $1.5 million in the year ended December 31, 2005. (See Note O) 

35 

Capital Leases 

We incurred $3.6 million in new capital lease obligations for the year ended December 31, 2006, 

compared to $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. 

Lease Commitments 

We have minimum lease commitments of $33.0 million for fiscal 2007. The leased properties generate 

sufficient cash flow to meet the base rent payment. 

Daily Cash Collections 

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

Gross daily collections are collected by us and deposited into banks using one of three methods, which 

impact our investment in working capital: 

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

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

•  accounts where the revenues are deposited into the clients’ accounts increase our investment in 

working capital. 

Our average investment in working capital depends on our contract mix. For example, an increase in 

contracts that require all cash deposited in our bank accounts reduces our investment in working capital 
and improves our liquidity. During 2006 and 2005, there were no material changes in these types of 
contracts. In addition, our clients may accelerate monthly distributions to them and have an estimated 
distribution occur in the current month. During 2006 and 2005, there were no material changes in the 
timing of current month distributions. 

Our liquidity also fluctuates on an intra-month and intra-year basis depending on the contract mix and 

timing of significant cash payments. Additionally, our ability to utilize cash deposited into our local 
accounts is dependent upon the availability and movement of that cash into our corporate account. For all 
these reasons, we, from time to time, carry a significant cash balance, while also utilizing our senior credit 
facility. 

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities 

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $28.8 million for 2006, compared to $31.4 million for 
2005. Cash provided during 2006 included $26.4 million from operations, a net increase in operating assets 
and liabilities of $2.4 million due primarily to an increase in accounts payable of $2.0 million and a 
decrease of $0.7 million in accounts receivable, which was partially offset by an increase of $0.3 million in 
prepaid expenses.

Summary Disclosures About Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments 

The following summarizes certain of our contractual obligations at December 31, 2006 and the effect 

such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flow in future periods. The nature of our 
business is to manage parking facilities. As a result, we do not have significant short-term purchase 
obligations.

Critical Accounting Policies 

“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” discusses 
our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles 
generally accepted in the United States of America. Accounting estimates are an integral part of the 
preparation of the financial statements and the financial reporting process and are based upon current 
judgments. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally 
accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the 
reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of 
the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. 
Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their complexity and the possibility that 
future events affecting them may differ materially from our current judgments and estimates. 

This listing of critical accounting policies is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our 
accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically 
dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, with no need for 

38 

management’s judgment regarding accounting policy. We believe that of our significant accounting 
policies, the following may involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity: 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill 

As of December 31, 2006, our net long-lived assets were comprised primarily of $14.2 million of 

property, equipment and leasehold improvements and $2.7 million of contract and lease rights. In 
accounting for our long-lived assets, other than goodwill, we apply the provisions of Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for 
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of.” Beginning January 1, 2002, we account for goodwill and other 
intangible assets under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” As of 
December 31, 2006, we had $119.1 million of goodwill. 

The determination and measurement of an impairment loss under these accounting standards require 

the significant use of judgment and estimates. The determination of fair value of these assets utilizes cash 
flow projections that assume certain future revenue and cost levels, assumed discount rates based upon 
current market conditions and other valuation factors, all of which involve the use of significant judgment 
and estimation. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 we were not required to 
record any impairment charges related to long-lived assets or to goodwill. Future events may indicate 
differences from our judgments and estimates which could, in turn, result in impairment charges in the 
future. Future events that may result in impairment charges include increases in interest rates, which would 
impact discount rates, unfavorable economic conditions or other factors which could decrease revenues 
and profitability of existing locations and changes in the cost structure of existing facilities. Factors that 
could potentially have an unfavorable economic effect on our judgments and estimates include, among 
others: changes imposed by governmental and regulatory agencies, such as property condemnations and 
assessment of parking-related taxes; construction or other events that could change traffic patterns; and 
terrorism or other catastrophic events. 

Insurance Reserves 

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

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

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

39 

Income Taxes 

We use the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to account for 
income taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future 
tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing 
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using 
enacted tax rates to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected 
to be recovered or settled. We have certain net operating loss carry forwards which expire between 2018 
and 2024. Our ability to fully utilize these net operating losses to offset taxable income is limited due to the 
change in ownership resulting from the initial public offering (Internal Revenue Code Section 382). We 
consider a number of factors in our assessment of the recoverability of our net operating loss carryforwards 
including their expiration dates, the limitations imposed due to the change in ownership as well as future 
projections of income. Future changes in our operating performance along with these considerations may 
significantly impact the amount of net operating losses ultimately recovered, and our assessment of their 
recoverability. 

Litigation 

We are subject to litigation in the normal course of our business. We apply the provisions of SFAS 

No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies,” in determining the timing and amount of expense recognition 
associated with legal claims against us. Management uses guidance from internal and external legal counsel 
on the potential outcome of litigation in determining the need to record liabilities for potential losses and 
the disclosure of pending legal claims. 

In addition to any litigation that may arise in connection with insured matters, we are subject to 
various claims and legal proceedings that consist principally of lease and contract disputes. We consider 
these claims and legal proceedings to be routine and incidental to our business, and in the opinion of 
management, the ultimate liability with respect to these proceedings and claims will not materially affect 
our financial position, operations or liquidity. 

ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

Interest Rates 

Our primary market risk exposure consists of risk related to changes in interest rates. We use a 

variable rate senior credit facility to finance our operations. This facility exposes us to variability in interest 
payments due to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense increases and 
conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense also decreases. We believe that it is prudent to limit 
the exposure of an increase in interest rates. 

To meet this objective, we entered into two interest rate cap transactions with LaSalle Bank National 
Association (“LaSalle”) in 2005, allowing us to continue to take advantage of LIBOR based pricing under 
our Credit Agreement while hedging our interest rate exposure on a portion of our borrowings under the 
Credit Agreement (“Rate Cap Transactions”). Under each Rate Cap Transaction, we receive payments 
from LaSalle at the end of each quarterly period to the extent that the prevailing three month LIBOR 
during that period exceeded our cap rate. The first Rate Cap Transaction capped our LIBOR rate on a 
$30.0 million principal balance at 2.5% for a total of 18 months, which matured on July 12, 2006, and for 
which we recognized a gain of $0.3 million over the life of the cap. For the years ended December 31, 2006 
and 2005, we recognized a gain of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, both of which were reported 
as a reduction of interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The second Rate Cap 
Transaction capped our LIBOR rate on a $15.0 million principal balance at 2.5% for a total of nine 
months, which matured on October 12, 2005, and for which we recognized a gain of $18 thousand that was 

40 

reported as a reduction of interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended 
December 31, 2005. Each Rate Cap Transaction began as of January 12, 2005 and settled each quarter on 
a date that coincided with our quarterly interest payment dates under the credit agreement. 

In 2006 we entered into a third interest rate cap transaction with LaSalle, which allows us to limit our 

exposure on a portion of our borrowings under the Credit Agreement (“Rate Cap Transaction”). Under 
the third Rate Cap Transaction, we will receive payments from LaSalle each quarterly period to the extent 
that the prevailing three month LIBOR during that period exceeds our cap rate of 5.75%. The third Rate 
Cap Transaction caps our LIBOR interest rate on a notional amount of $50.0 million at 5.75% for a total 
of 36 months. The Rate Cap Transaction began as of August 4, 2006 and settles each quarter on a date that 
coincides with our quarterly interest payment dates under the credit agreement. 

At December 31, 2006, the $50.0 million Rate Cap Transaction is reported at its fair value of $0.1 

million and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Total 
changes in the fair value of the Rate Cap Transaction have been $0.2 million and have been reflected in 
accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheet. $42 thousand of this change 
has been recorded as an increase of interest expense in the consolidated statement of income for the year 
ended December 31, 2006. 

We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes. 

Our $135.0 million senior credit facility provides for a $135.0 million variable rate revolving facility. 

Interest expense on such borrowing is sensitive to changes in the market rate of interest. If we were to 
borrow the entire $135.0 million available under the facility, a 1% increase in the average market rate 
would result in an increase in our annual interest expense of $1.35 million. 

This amount is determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical interest rates on our 
borrowing cost, but does not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that 
could exist in such an environment. Due to the uncertainty of the specific changes and their possible 
effects, the foregoing sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure. 

Foreign Currency Risk 

Our exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal. All foreign investments are denominated in U.S. 
dollars, with the exception of Canada. We had approximately $1.2 million and $0.1 million of Canadian 
dollar denominated cash and debt instruments, respectively, at December 31, 2006. We do not hold any 
hedging instruments related to foreign currency transactions. We monitor foreign currency positions and 
may enter into certain hedging instruments in the future should we determine that exposure to foreign 
exchange risk has increased. 

ITEM 8.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA 

The financial statements required by this Item are attached to and are hereby incorporated into this 

Report. 

ITEM 9A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

As of the end of the period covered by this annual report, our chief executive officer, chief financial 

officer, and corporate controller carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation 
of our disclosure controls and procedures as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities 
Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Based upon their evaluation, our chief executive officer, chief 
financial officer, and corporate controller concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were 

41 

adequate and effective and designed to ensure that material information relating to us (including our 
consolidated subsidiaries) required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file under the Exchange Act is 
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the required time periods. 

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting 

There were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting or any other factors 

that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation referred to above. 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over 
financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our internal control system is 
designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and board of directors regarding the 
preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. Under the supervision and with the 
participation of our management, including our chief executive officer, chief financial officer and 
corporate controller, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial 
reporting based on the framework in Internal Control-Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee on 
Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission (“COSO Framework”). Based on our evaluation 
under the COSO Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial 
reporting was effective as of December 31, 2006. 

Our management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as 

of December 31, 2006 has been audited by Ernst & Young, LLP, an independent registered certified public 
accounting firm, as stated in their attestation report, which is included herein. 

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Internal Control 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not 

absolute, assurance that the objectives of the internal control system are met. Because of the inherent 
limitations of any internal control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all 
control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors 
of Standard Parking Corporation 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Standard Parking Corporation as 
of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity 
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006. Our audits also included 
the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule 
are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 
financial statements and schedule based on our audits. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting 
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit 
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial 
statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made 
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the 
consolidated financial position of Standard Parking Corporation at December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the 
consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended 
December 31, 2006, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, 
the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements 
taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein. 

As discussed in Note A to the consolidated financial statements, effective January 1, 2006, the 

Company changed its method of accounting for stock based compensation. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 
Board (United States), the effectiveness of Standard Parking Corporation’s internal control over financial 
reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated 
Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our 
report dated March 7, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors 
of Standard Parking Corporation 

We have audited management’s assessment, included in Item 9A of the accompanying Form 10-K, 

that Standard Parking Corporation maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of 
December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Standard 
Parking Corporation’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial 
reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our 
responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of 
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting 
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain 
reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in 
all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial 
reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating 
effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the 
circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable 

assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for 
external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal 
control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance 
of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the 
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to 
permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, 
and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations 
of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention 
or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have 
a material effect on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect 
misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk 
that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance 
with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. 

In our opinion, management’s assessment that Standard Parking Corporation maintained effective 
internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, 
based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Standard Parking Corporation maintained, in all 
material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on the 
COSO criteria. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight 
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the related 
consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended December 31, 2006 of Standard Parking Corporation and our report dated March 7, 2007, 
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 

Years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 

(In thousands except share and per share data) 

Note A. Significant Accounting Policies 

Standard Parking Corporation (“Standard” or “the Company”), and its subsidiaries and affiliates 
manage, operate and develop parking properties throughout the United States and Canada. The Company 
is a majority-owned subsidiary of Steamboat Industries LLC. The Company provides on-site management 
services at multi-level and surface facilities for all major markets of the parking industry. The Company 
manages approximately 2,000 parking facilities, across the United States and Canada. 

Principles of Consolidation 

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned 
subsidiaries, and joint ventures in which the Company has more than 50% ownership interest. Minority 
interest recorded in the consolidated statements of income is the joint venture partner’s non-controlling 
interest in consolidated joint ventures. We have interests in 13 joint ventures, each of which operates 
between one and twenty-two parking facilities. Of the 13 joint ventures, eight are majority owned by us and 
are consolidated into our financial statements, and five are single purpose entities where we have a 50% 
interest or a minority interest. Investments in joint ventures where the Company has a 50% or less non-
controlling ownership interest are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany 
profits, transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The existing VIEs in which we have a variable interest are not consolidated into our financial 

statements because we are not the primary beneficiary. 

Parking Revenue 

The Company recognizes gross receipts (net of taxes collected from customers) from leased locations, 

management fees and amounts attributable to ancillary services earned from management contract 
properties as parking revenue as the related services are provided. Also included in parking revenue are 
gains on sales of parking contracts and development fees. Development fees are revenue received from a 
customer for which we have provided certain consulting services as part of our offerings of ancillary 
management services. The gains from sales of contracts are for these contracts for which we have no asset 
basis or ownership interest and would be received as part of a formula buy-out in the contract in order for 
the owner to terminate the contract prior to its expiration. 

Cost of Parking Services 

The Company recognizes costs for leases and non-reimbursed costs from managed facilities as cost of 

parking services. Cost of parking services consists primarily of rent and payroll related costs.

Years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 

(In thousands except share and per share data) 

Advertising Costs 

Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in general and administrative expenses. 

Advertising expenses aggregated $261, $352 and $456 for 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 

Stock Based Compensation 

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company followed Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for the stock options 
granted to employees and directors. Accordingly, employee and director compensation expense was 
recognized only for those options whose price was less than fair market value at the measurement date. 
The Company adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based 
Compensation.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 
No. 123R using the modified prospective method and consequently has not retroactively adjusted prior 
period results. Under this method, compensation costs are based on the estimated fair value of the 
respective options and the proportion vesting in the period. (See Note R). 

Cash and Cash Equivalents 

Cash equivalents represent funds temporarily invested in money market instruments with maturities 

of one to five days. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value. 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 

Accounts receivable, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts, represents our estimate of the 
amount that ultimately will be realized in cash. Management reviews the adequacy of its allowance for 
doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends, aging of receivables, and a review 
of specific accounts, and makes adjustments in the allowance as necessary. Changes in economic conditions 
or other circumstances could have an impact on the collection of existing receivable balances or future 
allowance considerations. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company’s allowance for doubtful 
accounts was $3,384 and $3,565, respectively. 

Leaseholds and Equipment 

Leaseholds, equipment and leasehold improvements are stated at cost. Leaseholds (cost of parking 
contracts) are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average contract life of 10 years. Equipment is 
depreciated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of approximately 5 years on average. 
Leasehold improvements are amortized on the straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases or 
the service lives of the improvements, whichever is shorter (average of approximately 7 years). Assets 
under capital leases are amortized on the straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases or the 
service lives of the asset. Depreciation and amortization includes losses on abandonments of leaseholds 
and equipment of $368, $646 and $89 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Depreciation expense was 
$5,619, $6,355 and $5,801 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

(In thousands except share and per share data) 

Goodwill 

On January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 
No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which eliminates the amortization of goodwill and instead 
requires that goodwill be tested for impairment at least annually. The annual impairment test of goodwill 
made by the Company in the fourth quarter for the years ended 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, did not 
require adjustment to the carrying value of our goodwill. 

Long Lived and Finite-Lived Intangible Assets 

Long-lived assets and identifiable intangibles with finite lives are reviewed for impairment whenever 
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. 
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an 
asset or group of assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset or 
group of assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the 
amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Assets to be 
disposed of are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. 

Debt Issuance Costs 

The costs of obtaining financing are capitalized and amortized as interest expense over the term of the 

respective financing using the interest rate method. Debt issuance costs of $1,087 and $1,292 at 
December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are included in intangibles and other assets in the consolidated 
balance sheets and are reflected net of accumulated amortization of $1,169 and $4,768 at December 31, 
2006 and 2005, respectively. 

Financial Instruments 

The carrying values of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable are reasonable estimates of 
their fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Other long-term debt has a 
carrying value that approximates fair value because these instruments bear interest at market rates. 

Foreign Currency Translation 

The functional currency of the Company’s foreign operations is the local currency. Accordingly, assets 
and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations are translated from foreign currencies into U.S. dollars 
at the rates in effect on the balance sheet date while income and expenses are translated at the weighted-
average exchange rates for the year. Adjustments resulting from the translations of foreign currency 
financial statements are accumulated and classified as a separate component of stockholders’ equity. 

Interest rate caps 

We use a variable rate senior credit facility to finance our operations. This facility exposes us to 
variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense 
increases and conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense also decreases. We believe that it is 
prudent to limit the exposure of an increase in interest rates.

(In thousands except share and per share data) 

To meet this objective, we entered into two interest rate cap transactions with LaSalle Bank National 
Association (“LaSalle”) in 2005, allowing us to continue to take advantage of LIBOR based pricing under 
our Credit Agreement while hedging our interest rate exposure on a portion of our borrowings under the 
Credit Agreement (“Rate Cap Transactions”). Under each Rate Cap Transaction, we receive payments 
from LaSalle at the end of each quarterly period to the extent that the prevailing three month LIBOR 
during that period exceeded our cap rate. The first Rate Cap Transaction capped our LIBOR rate on a 
notional amount of $30.0 million at 2.5% for a total of 18 months, which matured on July 12, 2006, and for 
which we recognized a gain of $0.3 million over the life of the cap. For the years ended December 31, 2006 
and 2005, we recognized a gain of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, both of which were reported 
as a reduction of interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. The second Rate Cap 
Transaction capped our LIBOR rate on a notional amount of $15.0 million at 2.5% for a total of nine 
months, which matured on October 12, 2005, and for which we recognized a gain of $18 thousand that was 
reported as a reduction of interest expense in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings for the year ended 
December 31, 2005. Each Rate Cap Transaction began as of January 12, 2005 and settled each quarter on 
a date that coincided with our quarterly interest payment dates under the credit agreement. 

In 2006 we entered into a third interest rate cap transaction with LaSalle, which allows us to limit our 

exposure on a portion of our borrowings under the Credit Agreement (“Rate Cap Transaction”). Under 
the third Rate Cap Transaction, we will receive payments from LaSalle each quarterly period to the extent 
that the prevailing three month LIBOR during that period exceeds our cap rate of 5.75%. The third Rate 
Cap Transaction caps our LIBOR interest rate on a notional amount of $50.0 million at 5.75% for a total 
of 36 months. The Rate Cap Transaction began as of August 4, 2006 and settles each quarter on a date that 
coincides with our quarterly interest payment dates under the credit agreement. 

At December 31, 2006, the $50.0 million Rate Cap Transaction is reported at its fair value of $0.1 

million and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. Total 
changes in the fair value of the Rate Cap Transaction have been $0.2 million and have been reflected in 
accumulated other comprehensive income on the consolidated balance sheet. $42 thousand of this change 
has been recorded as an increase of interest expense in the consolidated statement of income for the year 
ended December 31, 2006. 

We do not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes. 

Use of Estimates 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in 

the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts 
reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those 
estimates. 

Insurance Reserves 

The Company purchases comprehensive liability insurance covering certain claims that occur at 
parking facilities the Company leases or manages. In addition, the Company purchases umbrella/excess 
liability coverage. The Company’s various liability insurance policies have deductibles of up to $250 that

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(In thousands except share and per share data) 

must be met before the insurance companies are required to reimburse the Company for costs incurred 
relating to covered claims. As a result, the Company is, in effect, self-insured for all claims up to the 
deductible levels. The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, in 
determining the timing and amount of expense recognition associated with claims against the Company. 
The expense recognition is based upon the Company’s determination of an unfavorable outcome of a claim 
being deemed as probable and capable of being reasonably estimated, as defined in SFAS No. 5. This 
determination requires the use of judgment in both the estimation of probability and the amount to be 
recognized as an expense. The Company utilizes historical claims experience along with regular input from 
third party insurance advisors in determining the required level of insurance reserves. Future information 
regarding historical loss experience may require changes to the level of insurance reserves and could result 
in increased expense recognition in the future. 

Litigation 

The Company is subject to litigation in the normal course of our business. The Company applies the 

provisions of SFAS No. 5, “Accounting for Contingencies”, in determining the timing and amount of 
expense recognition associated with legal claims against us. Management uses guidance from internal and 
external legal counsel on the potential outcome of litigation in determining the need to record liabilities 
for potential losses and the disclosure of pending legal claims. (See Note L). 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements 

In July 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards Interpretation No. 48 

(“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes”. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in 
income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109, “Accounting 
for Income Taxes”. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the 
financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax 
return. The new FASB standard also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and 
penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective 
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company has completed a preliminary evaluation 
of the impact of the January 1, 2007 adoption of FIN 48 and determined that such adoption is not expected 
to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results from operations. 

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, Fair Value 
Measurements (“Statement No. 157”). Statement No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for 
measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value 
measurements. The statement does not require new fair value measurements, but is applied to the extent 
that other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements. The statement 
emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the 
assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Companies will be required 
to disclose the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop 
the measurements, and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for 
the period. Statement No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The 
Company is currently evaluating the impact of Statement No. 157 on its consolidated financial statements, 
but is not yet in a position to determine the impact of its adoption.

Note B. Net Income Per Common Share 

In accordance with SFAS No.128, “Earnings Per Share (“EPS”),” basic net income per share is 
computed by dividing net income by the weighted daily average number of shares of common stock 
outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is based upon the weighted daily average 
number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period plus dilutive potential common shares, 
including stock options using the treasury-stock method. 

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

There are no additional securities that could dilute basic EPS in the future that were not included in 

the computation of diluted EPS. 

Note C. Non-Cash Stock Compensation Expense 

In accordance with the 2001 Option Plan, outstanding options to purchase 503.86 shares of Series D 
preferred stock immediately became fully vested and exercisable upon completion of our IPO. The vested 
Series D preferred stock options were then converted into options to purchase an aggregate of 444,836 
shares of our common stock which became fully vested upon completion of our IPO on June 2, 2004. 

For the year ended December 31, 2004, we recorded $2.3 million in non-cash stock compensation 
expense which represented the difference between the fair market value of $11.50 per share (the IPO price 
per share) and the exercise price of $6.34 per share on the 444,836 shares converted to our common stock. 
In addition, we issued 4,414 options at an exercise price of $11.50, which were immediately vested, on 
October 29, 2004 when the fair market value was $12.89 per share and we recorded the difference as 
compensation expense. 

Note D. Net Gain from Extinguishment of Debt and Other 

In 2004, we recorded a net gain of $3,832 in conjunction with our IPO. In 2005 and 2006, we had no 

gains from extinguishment of debt and other.

Senior Credit Facility 

We entered into an amended and restated senior credit agreement as of June 29, 2006 with Bank of 

America, N.A. and LaSalle Bank, N.A., as co-administrative agents, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as 
syndication agent and four other lenders. This agreement amends and restates our credit facility dated 
June 2, 2004. 

The senior credit facility was increased from $90.0 million to $135.0 million. The $135.0 million 
revolving credit facility will expire on June 29, 2011. The revolving credit facility includes a letter of credit 
sub-facility with a sublimit of $50.0 million and a swing line sub-facility with a sublimit of $10.0 million. 

The revolving credit facility bears interest, at our option, at either (1) LIBOR plus the applicable 

LIBOR Margin ranging between 1.50% and 2.25% depending on the ratio of our total funded 
indebtedness to our EBITDA from time to time (“Total Debt Ratio”) or (2) the Base Rate (as defined 
below) plus the applicable Base Rate Margin ranging between 0.00% and 0.75% depending on our Total 
Debt Ratio. We may elect interest periods of one, two, three or six months for LIBOR based borrowings. 
The Base Rate is the greater of (i) the rate publicly announced from time to time by Bank of America, 
N.A. as its “prime rate”, or (ii) the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50%. 

The senior credit facility includes the covenants; fixed charge ratio, total debt to EBITDA ratio and a 

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

At December 31, 2006 we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants. 

The weighted average interest rate on our Senior Credit Facility at December 31, 2006 and 2005 was 

5.9% and 4.4%, respectively. The rate includes all outstanding LIBOR contracts, interest rate cap effect 
and letters of credit. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings, not including letters of 
credit, was 7.2% and 5.6% at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. 

At December 31, 2006, we had $22.8 million of letters of credit outstanding under the senior credit 
facility, borrowings against the senior credit facility aggregated $77.1 million, and we had $35.1 million 
available under the senior credit facility. 

Consolidated joint ventures have entered into four agreements for stand-alone development projects 
providing nonrecourse funding. These joint venture debentures are collateralized by the specific contracts 
that were funded. 

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

SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” requires that we assess the realizability of deferred tax 
assets at each reporting period. These assessments generally consider several factors including the reversal 
of existing temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and potential tax planning strategies. 
We have reduced the valuation allowance related to our net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) and 
other deferred tax assets that we believe are more likely than not to be realized based upon our 
profitability over the past several years, estimates of future taxable income, limitations on the use of our 
NOLs and the carryforward life over which the tax benefits will be realized. 

At December 31, 2006 the Company had $48.0 million of federal net operating loss (NOLs) which will 

expire in the years 2018 through 2024. As a result of the initial public offering completed in June of 2004,

(In thousands except share and per share data) 

an ownership change occurred under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 which limits our ability to use 
pre-change NOLs to reduce future taxable income. 

In previous years, the Company had treated its investment in its Canadian subsidiary as permanently 

reinvested under APB 23. In 2005, based on its future investment plans, the Company has determined that 
its investment in Canada is no longer permanent in duration and has provided for taxes on its 
undistributed Canadian earnings as part of its 2006 and 2005 tax provision.

Note I. Benefit Plans 

The Company offers deferred compensation arrangements for certain key executives and sponsors an 

employees’ savings and retirement plan in which certain employees are eligible to participate. Subject to 
their continued employment by the Company, certain employees offered supplemental pension 
arrangements will receive a defined monthly benefit upon attaining age 65. At December 31, 2006 and 
2005, the Company has accrued $2,883 and $2,752, respectively, representing the present value of the 
future benefit payments. Expenses related to these plans amounted to $182, $172, and $199 in 2006, 2005 
and 2004, respectively. 

Participants in the savings and retirement plan may elect to contribute a portion of their 

compensation to the plan. The Company, contributes an amount in cash or other property as required by 
the plan. Expenses related to these plans amounted to $808, $782, and $817 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, 
respectively.

The Company also contributes to two multi-employer defined contribution and nine multi-employer 

defined benefit plans which cover certain union employees. Expenses related to these plans were $418, 
$500 and $483 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 

Note J.  Leases and Contingencies 

The Company operates parking facilities under operating leases expiring on various dates, generally 

prior to 2017. Certain of the leases contain options to renew at the Company’s discretion. 

Total future annual rent expense is not determinable due to the application of percentage factors 

based on revenues. At December 31, 2006, the Company’s minimum rental commitments, excluding 
contingent rent provisions under all non-cancelable leases, are as follows:

Rent expense, including contingent rents, was $109,597, $108,721 and $102,300 in 2006, 2005 and 

2004, respectively. 

Contingent rent expense was $65,421, $66,959 and $79,892 in 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. 
Contingent rent expense consists primarily of percentage rent payments, which will cease at various times 
as certain leases expire. 

Note K. Management Contracts and Related Arrangements with Affiliates 

Steven A. Warshauer and Michael K. Wolf own membership interests in a limited liability company 

that is a member of the limited liability companies that during 2006 owned two surface parking lots in 
Chicago. We managed both of those lots during 2006 pursuant to management contracts until September, 
at which time one of those lots was sold and our management of it ceased. We recorded a total of $36 in 
2006 $40 in 2005 and $40 in 2004 under the applicable management contracts. 

In connection with the acquisition of a 76% interest in Executive Parking Industries, LLC, we entered 

into a management agreement dated May 1, 1998, with D&E Parking, Inc., a privately held company 
entirely owned by Ed Simmons, an executive officer, and Dale Stark, a former Senior Vice President and 
presently a consultant of the Company. The management agreement is for a period of nine years, 
terminating on April 30, 2007. In consideration of the services provided by D&E under this arrangement, 
we paid D&E an annual base fee of $549 in 2006 $658 in 2005 and $569 in 2004.

(In thousands except share and per share data) 

On December 31, 2000, we sold, at fair market value, certain contract assets to D&E. We continue to 
operate the parking facilities and receive net management fees and reimbursement for support services in 
connection with the operation of the parking facilities. We recorded net management fees of $149 in 2006 
$145 in 2005 and $143 in 2004. 

In 2006, Standard Parking provided property management services for nine separate retail shopping 

centers and commercial office buildings in which D&E has an ownership interest. Dale Stark is the 
managing member  of each of the property ownership entity.  In consideration of the property 
management services we provided for these nine properties, we recorded net management fees totaling 
$363 in 2006. In 2005, we operated eight of these properties and recorded net management fees totaling 
$252. In 2004, we operated six of these properties and recorded net management fees totaling $113. 

In 2006, our wholly owned subsidiary, Preferred Response Security Services, Inc., provided security 

services for two retail shopping centers owned by D&E. We recorded net management fees amounting to 
$37 for these security services in 2006 and $18 in 2005. In 2006, we provided sweeping and power washing 
for three retail shopping facilities in which D&E has an ownership interest. For these services we recorded 
net management fees totaling $45 in 2006 and $41 in 2005. 

We entered into a management agreement dated as of September 19, 2000, with Circle Line 

Sightseeing Yachts, Inc. to manage and operate certain parking facilities located along the Hudson River 
and Piers located in New York City and under the control of Circle Line. Until June of 2005, Circle Line 
was approximately 41.25% indirectly owned by John V. Holten’s immediate family. Mr. Holten was 
previously a Director of New York Cruise Lines, Inc., which owned all of the outstanding stock of Circle 
Line, from 1990 to February 2005. We received a total of $78,900 in 2005 and $71,400 in 2004 under this 
arrangement. Additionally, Circle Line had the right to require us to temporarily advance to Circle Line on 
or before each December 31st and April 1st the anticipated net profit in increments of $100,000 each. We 
made an advance of $100,000 in 2005 which was repaid as of December 31, 2005 

Note L.  Legal Proceedings 

In addition to any litigation that may arise in connection with insured matters, we are subject to 
various claims and legal proceedings that consist principally of lease and contract disputes. We consider 
these claims and legal proceedings to be routine and incidental to our business, and in the opinion of 
management, the ultimate liability with respect to these proceedings and claims will not materially affect 
our financial position, operations or liquidity.

We are entered into a 25-year agreement with the State of Connecticut that expires on April 6, 2025, 

under which we operate the surface parking and 3,500 garage parking spaces at Bradley International 
Airport located in the Hartford, Connecticut metropolitan area. The parking garage was financed on 
April 6, 2000 through the issuance of $53.8 million of State of Connecticut special facility revenue bonds, 
representing $47.7 million non-taxable Series A bonds and a separate taxable issuance of $6.1 million 
Series B bonds. The Series B bonds were retired on July 1, 2006 according to the terms of the indenture. 
The Bradley agreement provides that we deposit with a trustee for the bondholders all gross revenues 
collected from operations of the surface and garage parking, and from these gross revenues, the trustee 
pays debt service on the special facility revenue bonds, operating and capital maintenance expenses of the 
surface and garage parking facilities and specific annual guaranteed minimum payments to the State. 
Principal and interest on the Bradley special facility revenue bonds increase from approximately 
$3.6 million in lease year 2002 to approximately $4.5 million in lease year 2025. Our annual guaranteed 
minimum payments to the State increase from approximately $8.3 million in lease year 2002 to 
approximately $13.2 million in lease year 2024. 

To the extent that monthly gross receipts are not sufficient for the trustee to make the required 
payments we are obligated, pursuant to our guaranty agreement, to deliver the deficiency amount to the 
trustee within three business days of being notified. We are responsible for these deficiency payments 
regardless of the amount of utilization for the Bradley parking facilities. We received repayments (net of 
deficiency payments) of $600 for the year-ended December 31, 2006. In addition in 2006, we received $523 
for the 2005 receivable and $140 and $60 for interest and premium, respectively. As of December 31, 2006, 
we recorded a receivable of $114 related to interest and premium income on the deficiency payments 
received in 2006. We received repayments (net of deficiency payments) of $1.5 million for the year ended 
December 31, 2005. In addition in 2005, we received $246 of premium income and recorded an interest 
receivable of $523 which was collected in 2006. We made deficiency payments (net of repayments) of $2.0 
million for the year ended December 31, 2004. 

The deficiency payments represent contingent interest bearing advances to the trustee to cover 
operating cash flow requirements. The payments, if any, are recorded as a receivable by us for which we 
are reimbursed from time to time as provided in the trust agreement. As of December 31, 2006 we have

Years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 

(In thousands except share and per share data) 

advanced to the trustee $4.3 million, net of reimbursements. We believe these advances to be fully 
recoverable and therefore have not recorded a valuation allowance for them. We do not guarantee the 
payment of any principal or interest on any debt obligations of the State of Connecticut or the trustee. 
Total cumulative net management fees related to Bradley are $4.0 million. Prior to 2003, we recognized a 
total of $1.6 million in fees. A full valuation allowance was recorded against these fees during the year 
ended December 31, 2003. Due to the existence of outstanding guarantor payments, $2.4 million in 
management fees have not been recognized as of December 31, 2006. 

The increase in Other Bradley related consists of a receivable of $367 owed to us by a sub-contractor. 
The amount was reclassed to long-term due to the length of time required for collection. The receivable is 
interest bearing. In addition, we reclassed $344 to other long-term debt, our obligation to the joint venture 
partner related to recovery of administrative costs. The valuation allowance and working capital funds held 
by us of $365 at December 31, 2006, offset all non-interest bearing other Bradley receivable amounts.

Note R.  Stock-Based Compensation 

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company followed Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, 
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for the stock options 
granted to employees and directors. Accordingly, employee and director compensation expense was 
recognized only for those options whose price was less than fair market value at the measurement date. 
The Company had adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based 
Compensation. We were required to disclose pro forma information regarding option grants made to our 
employees based on specific valuation techniques that produce estimated compensation charges. The pro 
forma information is as follows (in thousands, except per-share amounts):

Deductions for stock-based employee compensation expense in the above table were calculated using 

the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Allocation of compensation expense was made using historical 
option terms for option grants made to our employees and using our historical stock price volatility. 

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R using 

the modified prospective method and consequently we have not retroactively adjusted prior period results. 
Under this method, compensation costs for the year ended December 31, 2006 is based on the estimated 
fair value of the respective options and the proportion vesting in the period. Deductions for stock-based 
employee compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2006 were calculated using the Black-
Scholes option pricing model. Allocation of compensation expense was made using historical option terms 
for option grants made to our employees and historical volatility. 

The Company has an amended and restated Long-Term Incentive Plan that was adopted in 
conjunction with the IPO. The maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued and 
awarded under the Long-Term Incentive Plan is 1,000,000, of which 510,532 shares are outstanding as of 
December 31, 2006. The Long-Term Incentive Plan will terminate 10 years from the date it was adopted by 
our board. In most cases the options vest at the end of a three-year period from the date of the award. 
Options are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing price at the date of grant. 

The estimated weighted average fair value of the options granted was $11.18 for 2006 option grants 

and $6.87  for 2005 option grants, using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following

assumptions; weighted average dividend yield was 0% for fiscal year 2006 and 2005, weighted average 
volatility of 27.07% and 34.57% for 2006 and 2005, respectively, which was based on the 90 day historical 
volatility of our common stock at the grant date, weighted average risk free interest based on zero-coupon 
U.S. government issues with a remaining term equal to the expected life of the option of 5.03% for 2006 
and 4.13% for 2005, and a weighted average expected term of 7 years for 2006 and 2005. 

On May 5, 2006, we issued stock options to purchase 13,410 shares of common stock at a market price 

of $27.06 per share to certain directors. 

On October 12, 2005, we issued stock options to purchase 16,608 shares of common stock at a market 

price of $19.00 per share to our outside Directors. 

For the year ended December 31, 2004, we issued stock grants totaling 15,044 shares to our outside 
Directors. On June 2, 2004, 8,696 shares were issued in conjunction with our initial public offering at the 
closing price of $13.09 per share. On December 27, 2004, we issued 6,348 shares at the market closing price 
of $15.76 per share. The total value of the grants, of $214, was recorded as compensation and is included in 
our general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2004. 

The adoption of SFAS No. 123R using the modified prospective method resulted in recognizing $480 
of stock based compensation expense, for the year ended December 31, 2006, which is included in general 
and administrative expense. As of December 31, 2006, there was $133 of unrecognized compensation costs 
related to unvested options which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.5 years.

$53.7 million in gross proceeds was raised from this offering. After deducting the underwriting discount of 
$3.8 million, and offering expenses of $3.2 million, net proceeds to us were $46.7 million. In conjunction 
with this offering, we entered into a new $90.0 million senior credit facility and redeemed our 14% Notes 
in the amount of $57.7 million. In addition, we paid $1.6 million of interest premium on the 14% Notes, 
$0.8 million of interest previously deferred on the term loan for the old senior credit facility, $6.6 million to 
purchase the common stock subject to put/call rights and any remaining existing stock options of the 
common stock (plus a $5.0 million note assumed by our parent company), $1.4 million in debt issuance 
costs for the new senior credit facility and $0.3 million for professional fees related to the exchange of debt. 

Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series C 

In connection with our IPO, we exchanged a portion of our 11 ¼% Redeemable Preferred Stock (the 

“Series C preferred stock”), that was owned by Steamboat Industries LLC for 5,789,499 shares of our 
common stock. The Series C preferred stock had an initial liquidation preference equal to $1.0 million per 
share or $40.7 million in the aggregate. The Series C preferred stock accrued dividends on a cumulative 
basis at 11¼% per year. Conversion was fixed by resolution of the Board of Directors and the shares have 
no voting rights except as to alterations or changes that may adversely affect the holders of the Series C 
preferred stock. Our remaining Series C preferred stock was contributed to us by our parent as a capital 
contribution, which amounted to $63.3 million and included accumulated dividends of $2.9 million.  

Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series D 

In connection with our IPO, Steamboat Industries LLC and its wholly owned subsidiary, Steamboat 

Industries N.V., acquired all but ten shares of our outstanding 18% Senior Convertible Redeemable 
Series D Preferred Stock (the “Series D preferred stock”). Steamboat Industries LLC then contributed its

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) 

Years Ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 

(In thousands except share and per share data) 

Series D preferred stock to us as a capital contribution, which amounted to $60.7 million and included 
accumulated dividends of $4.4 million. We then retired all shares of Series D preferred stock contributed 
to us and now have only ten shares of Series D preferred stock outstanding. The Series D preferred stock 
has an initial liquidation preference equal to $100 per share or $1,000 in the aggregate. 

Prior to our IPO and, in connection with our recapitalization, we issued 3,500 shares of the Series D 

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

We redeemed from AP Holdings, Inc., our former parent, all of our remaining issued and authorized 

Series D 18% preferred stock, which consisted of ten shares, on September 1, 2006 and subsequently 
retired these shares in the same month.  The purchase price for the Series D preferred stock was $1.4, 
which included a redemption premium and accrued dividends. 

Note T. Hurricane Katrina 

We have a claim for $6.0 million, which consists of $3.0 million for property damage and $3.0 million 
for business interruption. The settlement of the claim has not been finalized, however, as of January 2007, 
we have received partial payments from the insurance carrier totaling $2.0 million. We are required to 
reimburse the owners of the leased and managed locations for property damage of $2.2 million, of which 
$500 was accrued as of December 31, 2005 and the remaining $1.7 million accrued for as of December 31, 
2006. For the year ended December 31, 2006, we also recorded $300 for the recovery from insurers of 
recognized losses on nonmonetary assets, which have been reflected as a reduction in cost of sales. Based 
on the status of the claim, we do not believe future recoveries are reasonably estimable and probable as of 
December 31, 2006, and accordingly no additional recoveries of costs have been recorded.
