NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.	Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial information for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 has been prepared by the Company and has not been audited by its independent registered public accounting firm. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEACOR Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2008, its results of operations for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year or any future periods.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.

Unless the context otherwise indicates, any references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company” refer to SEACOR Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and any references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “SEACOR” refer to SEACOR Holdings Inc.

2.	Fair Value Measurements

On September 16, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS No. 157 provides a single definition of fair value, together with a framework for measuring it, and requires additional disclosure about the use of fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008, with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not Active (“FSP 157-3”). FSP 157-3 clarifies the application of SFAS No. 157 in a market that is not active and illustrates key considerations in determining the fair value of a financial asset when the market for the financial asset is not active. FSP 157-3 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

The fair value of an asset or liability, as defined by SFAS No. 157, is the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs derived from observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair vale of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2008 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands):


	Level 1			Level 2			Level 3
ASSETS
Available-for-sale marketable securities	$	71,272		$	1,590		$	—
Commodity swap, options and future contracts, net		1,131			—			—
Forward delivery contracts, net		—			21			—
Construction reserve funds and Title XI reserve funds		265,586			—			—

LIABILITIES
Short sale of marketable securities		(61,208	)		—			—
Short sale of equity options, net		(7,931	)		—			—
Short sale of forward exchange contracts, net		—			(2,678	)		—
Short sale of forward option and future contracts, net		(1,866	)		—			—
Short sale of U.S. treasury notes and bond future and option contracts, net		(1,088	)		—			—

During the third quarter, the Company determined that the fair value of one of its available-for-sale marketable securities is based on a quoted price in a market that is not active and has reclassified the security from Level 1 to Level 2.

On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 155. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities, and certain non-financial instruments that are similar to financial instruments, at fair value. SFAS No. 159 became effective for SEACOR on January 1, 2008 and the Company did not elect the fair value option under this standard.

4.	Equipment Acquisitions, Dispositions and Depreciation Policy

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, capital expenditures were $315.6 million. Equipment deliveries during the period included seven offshore marine vessels, 15 inland river dry cargo barges, four inland river towboats, 17 helicopters, three ocean liquid tank barges and four harbor tugs. One offshore marine vessel scheduled for delivery during the three months ended June 30, 2008 has been delayed for an undetermined length of time due to damage sustained in a fire while under construction in a shipyard.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company sold 13 offshore marine vessels, one offshore marine construction contract, 21 inland river dry cargo barges, six inland river liquid tank barges, seven helicopters, three helicopter construction contracts, one harbor tug and other equipment for an aggregate consideration of $98.9 million and recognized net gains of $51.3 million.

Equipment, stated at cost, is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset to an estimated salvage value. With respect to each class of asset, the estimated useful life is based upon a newly built asset being placed into service and represents the point at which it is typically not justifiable for the Company to continue to operate the asset in the same or similar manner. From time to time, the Company may acquire older assets which have already exceeded the Company’s useful life policy, in which case the Company depreciates such assets based on its best estimate of remaining useful life, typically the next survey or certification date.

As of September 30, 2008, the estimated useful life (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new equipment was as follows:


Offshore marine vessels		20
Tankers⁽¹⁾		25
Inland river dry cargo and deck barges		20
Inland river liquid tank barges		25
Inland river towboats		25
Helicopters		12
Harbor and offshore tugs⁽²⁾		25
Ocean liquid tank barges		25

(1)	Subject to Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA 90”) requirements.

(2)

Effective April 1, 2008, the Company changed its estimated useful life for newly built harbor and offshore tugs from 40 to 25 years and reduced the remaining useful life of certain vessels within its harbor and offshore tug fleet due to the more frequent occurrence of technological advancements in vessel design. These changes in estimates did not materially impact the comparability of financial information for the periods presented.

5.	Investments at Equity and Receivables from 50% or Less Owned Companies

Seaspraie. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded a $1.3 million loss, net of tax, primarily resulting from an impairment charge recognized by the Seaspraie joint venture on prime broker exposure.

Dart. On July 22, 2008, the Company purchased a 49% interest in DART Helicopter Services LLC, an international sales, marketing and manufacturing organization focusing on after market helicopter accessories, for $21.0 million.

6.	Construction Reserve Funds

The Company has established, pursuant to Section 511 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended, joint depository construction reserve funds with the Maritime Administration. In accordance with this statute, the Company is permitted to deposit proceeds from the sale of certain vessels into the joint depository construction reserve fund accounts for the purpose of acquiring U.S.-flag vessels and qualifying for the temporary deferral of taxable gains realized from the sale of vessels. Withdrawals from the construction reserve fund accounts are only permitted with the consent of the Maritime Administration and the funds on deposit must be committed for expenditure within three years or be released for the Company’s general use.

As of September 30, 2008, construction reserve funds of $247.8 million are classified as non-current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as the Company has the intent and ability to use the funds to acquire equipment. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, construction reserve fund account transactions included withdrawals of $183.3 million and deposits of $43.7 million.

7.	Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s unfunded capital commitments as of September 30, 2008 consisted primarily of offshore marine vessels, helicopters, inland river barges and inland river towboats and totaled $276.2 million, of which $114.2 million is payable during the remainder of 2008 and the balance payable through 2010. Of the total unfunded capital commitments, $35.1 million may be terminated without further liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $3.4 million in the aggregate.

The Company has guaranteed the payment of amounts owed by one of its joint ventures under a vessel charter agreement that expires in 2011. In addition, the Company has guaranteed amounts owed under banking facilities by certain of its joint ventures and has issued a performance guarantee on behalf of one of its joint ventures. As of September 30, 2008, the total amount guaranteed by the Company was $23.7 million. Additionally, as of September 30, 2008, the Company had an uncalled capital commitment to one of its joint ventures for $3.2 million.

In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages, personal injuries and other matters. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company’s estimates of that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

In June 2005, a subsidiary of SEACOR received a document subpoena from the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice. This subpoena relates to a grand jury investigation of potential antitrust violations among providers of helicopter transportation services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. The Company believes that this subpoena is part of a broader industry inquiry and that other providers have also received such subpoena. SEACOR believes it has provided all information requested in response to this investigation.

Under United States law, “United States persons” are prohibited from business activities and contracts in certain countries, including Sudan and Iran. Relating to these prohibitions, Seabulk International, Inc. (“Seabulk”), a subsidiary of SEACOR acquired in July 2005, filed three reports with and submitted documents to the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury in December 1999 and January and May 2002. One of the reports was also filed with the Bureau of Export Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The reports and documents related to certain limited charters with third parties involving three Seabulk vessels which called in Sudan for several months in 1999 and January 2000 and charters with third parties involving several of Seabulk’s vessels which called in Iran in 1998. In March 2003, Seabulk received notification from OFAC that the case has been referred to its Civil Penalties Division. Should OFAC determine that these activities constituted violations of the laws or regulations, civil penalties, including fines, could be assessed against Seabulk or certain individuals who knowingly participated in such activity. The Company cannot predict the extent of such penalties; however, management does not believe the outcome of these matters will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

Marine Transportation Services (“MTS”) had two of its tankers retro-fitted to a double-hull configuration in a foreign shipyard to enable each of them to continue to transport crude oil and petroleum products beyond their OPA 90 mandated retirement dates in 2011. Both vessels operate in the U.S. coastwise, or Jones Act, trade which is restricted to vessels built or rebuilt in the United States. In May 2005, MTS received a determination from the National Vessel Documentation Center (“NVDC”) of the U.S. Coast Guard (“USCG”), which administers the U.S. build requirements of the Jones Act, concluding the retro-fit work would not constitute a foreign rebuilding and therefore would not jeopardize the tankers’ eligibility to operate in the U.S. coastwise trade. MTS completed the retro-fit work in the foreign shipyard in reliance upon the NVDC’s determination. MTS believes the NVDC’s determination was correct and in accord with the USCG’s long-standing regulations and interpretations. On July 9, 2007, a U.S. shipbuilders trade association and two operators of tankers in the U.S. coastwise trade (“Shipbuilders”) commenced a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (“Court”), Shipbuilders Council of America, Inc., et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, et al., No. 1:07cv665 (E.D. Va.) (the “SB Trader Litigation”), in which they sought to have the court set aside the NVDC’s determination and direct the USCG to revoke the coastwise license of one of the two retro-fitted tankers, the Seabulk Trader. MTS intervened in the action to assist the USCG in defending the NVDC’s determination. On April 24, 2008, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion granting a motion for summary judgment filed by the Shipbuilders, setting aside the NVDC’s determination, and remanding the matter to the USCG for further proceedings with instructions to revoke the coastwise endorsement for the Seabulk Trader. MTS filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and a motion requesting the Court to stay its judgment pending appeal. The Court entered an order temporarily staying its judgment pending appeal and, on August 18, 2008, issued an order expressing its intention to revise its Memorandum Opinion by deleting the instruction to the NVDC to revoke the Seabulk Trader’s coastwise endorsement and remanding the matter to the USCG with a direction to complete its proceedings reevaluating its prior determination in accordance with the Court’s revised order within 90 days. On August 20, 2008, MTS and the Coast Guard filed with the court of appeals a motion to remand and suspend the briefing schedule and moved for an order remanding the case to the Court to permit the Court to amend its Memorandum Opinion in accordance with its August 18, 2008 order. On October 23, 2008, the court of appeals denied the motion to remand. Consequently, the court of appeals will review the district court’s decision on appeal, and MTS will ask the Court to make permanent the order staying its judgment pending appeal. On July 2, 2008, Shipbuilders commenced a second civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, entitled Shipbuilders Council of America, Inc., et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, et al., No. 1:08cv680 (E.D. Va.) (the “SB Challenge Litigation”), alleging essentially identical claims as those asserted in the SB Trader Litigation against MTS’s second retro-fitted tanker, the Seabulk Challenge. As it did in the SB Trader Litigation, MTS intends to intervene in the SB Challenge Litigation. The loss of coastwise eligibility for its two retro-fitted tankers could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and its results of operations. The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s two retro-fitted tankers was $61.8 million as of September 30, 2008 and such tankers contributed operating revenues of $20.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company are participating employers in an industry-wide, multi-employer, defined benefit pension fund, the United Kingdom Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund (“MNOPF”). Under the direction of a court order, any deficit of the MNOPF is to be remedied through funding contributions from all participating employers. The Company’s participation relates to officers employed between 1978 and 2002 by SEACOR’s Stirling group of companies (which had been acquired by SEACOR in 2001) and its predecessors. Based on an actuarial valuation of the MNOPF in 2003, the Company was invoiced and expensed $4.4 million in 2005, representing the Company’s allocated share of a total funding deficit of $412.0 million. Subsequent to this invoice, the pension fund trustees determined that $49.0 million of the $412.0 million deficit was deemed uncollectible due to the non-existence or liquidation of certain participating employers and the Company was invoiced and expensed $0.6 million in March 2007 for its allocated share of the uncollectible deficit. Based on an actuarial valuation of the MNOPF in 2006, the Company was invoiced and expensed $3.9 million in September 2007, representing the Company’s allocated share of an additional funding deficit of $332.6 million. Depending on the results of future actuarial valuations, it is possible that the MNOPF will experience further funding deficits requiring the Company to recognize payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received.

8.	Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility and the remaining availability under this facility was $447.9 million, net of issued letters of credit of $2.1 million. In addition, the Company had other outstanding letters of credit totaling $38.7 million with various expiration dates through 2010. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company made two draws on its revolving credit facility totaling $75.0 million.

In April and May 2008, the Company committed to purchase two leased-in offshore marine vessels at the end of their lease terms in September and October 2008, respectively. The leases had previously been considered operating leases but were determined to be capital leases upon commitment to purchase the vessels. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the first lease obligation was settled as scheduled. As of September 30, 2008, the capital lease obligation related to the remaining vessel was $14.3 million and is included in current portion of capital lease obligations in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

9.	Stock and Debt Repurchases

During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company acquired for treasury 2,824,317 shares of SEACOR common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $240.0 million. From time to time, SEACOR’s Board of Directors grants authorization to repurchase shares of Common Stock and SEACOR’s 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024. On April 23, June 4 and September 10, 2008, SEACOR’s Board of Directors increased such repurchase authority by $70.9 million, $75.5 million and $117.7 million, respectively, to a total authorized expenditure on each occasion of up to $150.0 million. As of September 30, 2008, $149.2 million of the repurchase authority granted by SEACOR’s Board of Directors remained available. Additionally, the Company may purchase, separate from such authorization, any or all of its 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009, its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012, and the 9.5% senior notes of Seabulk due 2013. Securities are acquired through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company repurchased $51.2 million, principal amount, of its 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009 and $0.5 million, principal amount, of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 for an aggregate purchase price of $51.6 million.

Earnings Per Common Share

In accordance with SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share, basic earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the relevant periods. Diluted earnings per common share are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive securities. In determining dilutive securities for this

purpose the Company assumes, through the application of the treasury stock and if-converted methods, all restricted stock grants have vested, all common shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise of all outstanding stock options and all common shares have been issued pursuant to the conversion of all outstanding convertible notes. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, diluted earnings per common share excluded 648,449 and 571,501, respectively, of certain share awards as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, diluted earnings per common share excluded 314,180 and 277,395, respectively, of certain share awards as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive.

Computations of basic and diluted earnings per common share are as follows (in thousands, except per share data):


	For the Three Months Ended September 30,					For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	Net Income		Average O/S Shares	Per Share		Net Income		Average O/S Shares	Per Share

New Accounting Pronouncements

On December 4, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) changes SFAS No. 141 by requiring acquiring companies to recognize, with certain exceptions, 100 percent of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests in acquisitions of less than a 100 percent controlling interest when the acquisition constitutes a change in control of the acquired entity, by establishing that shares issued in consideration for a business combination be at fair value on the acquisition date, by requiring the recognition of contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition-date fair values with subsequent changes in fair value generally reflected in earnings, by requiring recognition of pre-acquisition loss and gain contingencies at their acquisition-date fair values, by providing for the capitalization of in-process research and development assets acquired, by requiring acquisition-related transaction costs to be expensed as incurred, by allowing for the capitalization of acquisition-related restructuring costs only if the criteria in SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities, are met as of the acquisition date and by requiring as an adjustment to income tax expense any changes in an acquirer’s existing income tax valuation allowances and tax uncertainty accruals. SFAS No. 141(R) is required to be adopted concurrently with SFAS No. 160, Accounting and Reporting of Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51, and is effective for business combination transactions for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited.

On December 4, 2007, the FASB also issued SFAS No. 160 which requires that a non-controlling interest in a consolidated subsidiary be displayed in the consolidated statement of financial position as a separate component of equity because noncontrolling interests meet the definition of equity of the consolidated entity. After control is obtained, a change in ownership interests that does not result in a loss of control will be accounted for as an equity transaction, and a change in ownership of a consolidated subsidiary that results in a loss of control and deconsolidation is a significant event that triggers gain or loss recognition, with the establishment of a new fair value basis in any remaining ownership interests. SFAS No. 160 is required to be adopted concurrently with SFAS No. 141(R) and is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

On February 12, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, deferring the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for one year for nonfinancial assets and liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at least annually. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, the adoption would have on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

On March 19, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 requires enhanced disclosure for derivative instruments and hedging activities about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments and hedges and how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of SFAS No. 161 will have on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

On May 9, 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position, Accounting Principles Board 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (“FSP APB 14-1”). FSP APB 14-1 clarifies the accounting for convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (including partial cash settlement) upon conversion. FSP APB 14-1 requires issuers of convertible debt to account separately for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate. The resulting debt discount is amortized over the period the debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense. The equity component is not revalued as long as it continues to qualify for equity treatment. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retrospective basis for all periods presented. The Company has not yet determined what impact the adoption of FSP APB 14-1 will have on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations, but expects such impact will be material.

On May 15, 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. SFAS No. 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 162 will result in a change in current practice and as such will have no impact on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

Segment Information

Operating business segments have been defined as a component of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s basis of measurement of segment profit or loss has not changed from those previously described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company’s Commodity Trading segment exceeded certain quantitative thresholds and is presented below as a reportable segment. All prior period information has been restated to conform to the current period’s segment presentation.

The following tables summarize the operating results and assets of the Company’s reportable segments. Certain reclassifications of prior period information have been made to conform to the current period’s segment presentation.

In addition, these statements constitute the Company’s cautionary statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. It is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, the following should not be considered a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties. The words “estimate,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statement is based. The forward-looking statements in this Form 10-Q should be evaluated together with the many uncertainties that affect the Company’s businesses, particularly those mentioned under “Forward-Looking Statements” in Item 7 on the Company’s Form 10-K and SEACOR’s periodic reporting on Form 8-K (if any), which is incorporated by reference.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues increased by $17.3 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and by $0.8 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. In the Current Year Quarter, overall average day rates increased by 12%, overall utilization improved by 4% and days available for charter were 11% lower due to net fleet dispositions. In the Current Nine Months, overall average day rates increased by 10%, overall utilization was flat and days available for charter were 11% lower due to net fleet dispositions. The improvements in average day rates contributed additional operating revenues of $17.7 million in the Current Year Quarter and $31.3 million in the Current Nine Months. Net fleet dispositions, changes in fleet utilization, the impact of vessels mobilizing between geographic regions and other changes in fleet mix reduced operating revenues by $6.2 million in the Current Year Quarter and by $43.5 million in the Current Nine Months. Movements in foreign currency exchange rates reduced operating revenues by $1.1 million in the Current Year Quarter and by $1.0 million in the Current Nine Months. In addition, operating revenues from other marine services, primarily brokered vessel activity and bareboat charters, increased by $6.9 million in the Current Year Quarter and by $14.0 million in the Current Nine Months.

In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, operating revenues in the Current Year Quarter were higher compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to an increase in overall utilization and higher average day rates as a result of more rig moving activity. Operating revenues were lower in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months primarily as a result of the now concluded regulatory drydocking, major repair and upgrade program of the Company’s large U.S.-flag AHTS vessels, which resulted in 281 days of out-of-service time in the Current Nine Months compared with 81 days in the Prior Nine Months. In Mexico, Central and South America and the Middle East, operating revenues were higher primarily due to vessels mobilizing from other geographic regions. Operating revenues decreased in West Africa primarily as a result of net fleet dispositions.

Operating Income – Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter. Operating income in the Current Year Quarter included $13.5 million of gains on asset dispositions compared with $13.2 million in the Prior Year Quarter. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income increased by $13.9 million primarily due to the increase in operating revenues as discussed above. Operating expenses increased by $2.4 million primarily due to higher time charter-in expenses for brokered vessels, higher maintenance and repair costs offset by lower bareboat charter-in expenses and third party management fees. In addition, administrative and general expenses increased by $1.3 million primarily due to the recognition of international staff severance payments and costs related to hurricane disruption in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

Operating Income – Current Nine Months compared with Prior Nine Months. Operating income in the Current Nine Months included $35.0 million of gains on asset dispositions compared with $60.1 million in the Prior Nine Months. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income decreased by $20.3 million. Operating expenses increased by $19.7 million primarily due to higher time charter-in expenses for brokered vessels, higher drydocking costs, higher mobilization costs and higher wage and benefit costs partially offset by lower bareboat charter-in expenses and third party management fees. Administrative and general expenses increased by $5.0 million primarily due to the recognition of international staff severance payments. In addition, depreciation decreased by $3.6 million primarily due to net fleet reductions.

Equity in Earnings of 50% or Less Owned Companies. Equity earnings increased by $1.9 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and by $0.3 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. The increase in equity earnings was primarily due to an overall improvement in the operating results for Offshore Marine Services’ joint ventures partially offset in the Current Nine Months by a reduction in gains on dispositions. In February 2008, Offshore Marine Services recognized a gain of $1.9 million, net of tax, relating to the sale of a vessel owned by its Norwegian joint venture. In March 2007, Offshore Marine Services recognized a gain of $4.1 million, net of tax, relating to the sale of its interest in an Egyptian joint venture.

Operating Revenues – Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues decreased by $0.2 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues were higher in the Current Year Quarter for the Seabulk Challenge, which was out-of-service for all of the Prior Year Quarter while undergoing a retro-fit to a double-hull configuration, and for the Brenton Reef, which was out-of-service for 25 days in the Prior Year Quarter while undergoing repairs. In addition, the Seabulk Energy’s day rate was higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. These increases in operating revenues were partially offset by the sale and subsequent scrapping of the Seabulk Power, out-of-service time in the Current Year Quarter for the Seabulk Arctic and Seabulk Pride while undergoing regulatory dockings and lower cargo volumes in the Current Year Quarter for the Seabulk America, which operates under a contract of affreightment. During September 2008, the Brenton Reef’s contract status changed from a time charter to a multi-year bareboat charter.

Operating Revenues – Current Nine Months compared with Prior Nine Months. Operating revenues increased by $1.0 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. The increase was primarily due to out-of-service time in the Prior Nine Months for the Seabulk Trader and Seabulk Challenge while undergoing retro-fit and the Brenton Reef while undergoing repairs. In addition, the Seabulk Energy’s day rate was higher in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. These increases in operating revenues were partially offset by the sale and subsequent scrapping of the Seabulk Power in January 2008 and the Seabulk Magnachem in March 2008, out-of-service time in the Current Nine Months for the Seabulk Arctic and Seabulk Pride while undergoing regulatory drydockings, lower cargo volumes for the Seabulk America and a change in contract status for the Seabulk Mariner from time charter to a multi-year bareboat charter in March 2007.

Operating Income (Loss) – Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter. Operating loss increased by $2.2 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to higher costs and expenses. Regulatory drydocking expenses were higher and fuel costs increased due to an

additional vessel operating in the spot market. The increases in operating expenses were partially offset by a reduction in depreciation charges as a result of the sale of the Seabulk Power and the extension of the retro-fitted tankers useful lives.

Operating Income (Loss) – Current Nine Months compared with Prior Nine Months. Operating income increased by $16.7 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months due to the improvements in operating revenues noted above and lower costs and expenses. Operating expenses were lower primarily due to the sale and subsequent scrapping of the Seabulk Power and Seabulk Magnachem and the conversion of the Seabulk Mariner from time charter to a multi-year bareboat charter partially offset by higher fuel costs for vessels operating in the spot market. In addition, depreciation charges were lower as a result of the sale of the Seabulk Power and the extension of the retro-fitted tankers useful lives. Operating income in the Current Nine Months included $3.6 million in gains on asset dispositions.

Fleet Count. As of September 30, 2008 and 2007, Marine Transportation Services owned eight and ten U.S.-flag product tankers, respectively, operating in the domestic coastwise trade.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues increased by $3.9 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and by $12.6 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. The increases were primarily due to higher rates for all classes of equipment employed, more dry cargo barges operating on voyage affreightment contracts rather than long-term charter arrangements and higher demurrage revenues. These increases were partially offset by lower operating revenues resulting from net fleet reductions following the sale of equipment to joint ventures and third parties. In addition, operating revenues in the Current Nine Months were positively impacted due to the March 2007 acquisition of Waxler Transportation Company, Inc. and Waxler Towing Company, Incorporated (collectively referred to as “Waxler”).

Operating Income. Operating income in the Current Year Quarter and Current Nine Months included $4.1 million and $6.3 million, respectively, of gains on asset dispositions compared with $1.6 million and $7.8 million in the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Nine Months, respectively. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income decreased by $2.9 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and by $8.1 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. Operating expenses increased due to higher fuel, towing, fleeting and switching costs, higher operating costs on dry cargo barges moving to voyage affreightment contracts, and higher repair and maintenance costs. These cost increases were partially offset by the improvements in operating revenues noted above.

Equity in Earnings (Losses) of 50% or Less Owned Companies. Equity earnings decreased by $3.4 million in the Current Year Quarter and $6.3 million Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Nine Months primarily due to losses from securities and futures trading. In addition, the Company recognized a $1.3 million loss, net of tax, in the Current Year Quarter primarily resulting from an impairment charge on prime broker exposure.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues increased by $11.0 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and increased by $27.3 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. Operating revenues in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico increased due to additional contracts, a higher fuel surcharge resulting from increased fuel costs, generally better rates with new equipment and additional activity as a result of Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. International operating revenues increased as additional helicopters were placed on long-term leases and short-term contracts outside of the United States. In addition, operating revenues in Alaska increased due to improved fuel sales volume at the fixed-base operation and overall higher fuel prices. The air medical services business had improved results in the Current Nine Months due to additional contracts and certain rate increases.

Operating Income. Operating income in the Current Year Quarter and the Current Nine Months included $1.3 million and $4.9 million, respectively, of gains on asset dispositions compared with gains of $4.3 million and $6.0 million in the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Nine Months, respectively. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income decreased by $0.5 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and increased by $2.4 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. The improvements in operating revenues were impacted by higher operating expenses resulting from the increased operating activity described above, higher depreciation charges as a result of net aircraft additions and higher repair costs due to the timing of component and fleet repair and maintenance. In addition, operating income in the Current Year Quarter was impacted by costs related to hurricane disruption in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

Operating Revenues – Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues decreased $0.1 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to lower operating revenues from response services offset by higher operating revenues from project management and retainer services. Spill response revenues were lower primarily due to a significant oil spill response event in Puerto Rico in the Prior Year Quarter. The increase in project management revenues was primarily due to acquisitions and the expansion of services domestically. Retainer services revenues were higher primarily due to new contracts with major domestic oil companies.

Operating Revenues – Current Nine Months compared to the Prior Nine Months. Operating revenues increased $21.7 million in the Current Nine Months compared to the Prior Nine Months due to increased revenues from project management, response, retainer and professional services. Response activities included significant events in Tulsa and Louisiana in the Current Nine Months and in Puerto Rico in the Prior Nine Months. Operating revenues from project management and retainer services were higher in the Current Nine Months for the reasons described above in the Current Year Quarter. The increase in professional services revenues was primarily due to a full nine months of operations for acquisitions made in the Prior Nine Months.

Operating Income. Operating income decreased $0.7 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and increased $3.2 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months primarily due to the activities noted in operating revenues above. Operating costs and expenses were generally in line with the changes in activity levels but were also affected by higher amortization expense related to intangible assets arising from the Company’s acquisitions.

Harbor and Offshore Towing Services. Segment profit increased in the Current Year Quarter and the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Year Quarter and the Prior Nine Months primarily due to tariff increases and the commencement of terminal operations in St. Eustatius. The increases were partially offset by higher fuel costs and the cost of providing third-party equipment to support the start-up of the St. Eustatius terminal operation.

Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses increased by $0.4 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and by $2.9 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months primarily due to higher wage and benefit costs, including management bonus and share awards, and higher travel expenses partially offset by lower costs for professional services. In addition, corporate expenses increased in the Current Nine Months due to higher severance costs.

Derivative gains (losses), net. Derivative losses, net increased by $15.3 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and increased by $17.5 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months due to losses on foreign currency forward exchange, option and future contracts, commodity swap, option and future contracts and U.S. treasury note and bond future and option contracts partially offset by gains on equity and index options.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $6.9 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and decreased by $17.8 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. The decrease was primarily due to lower invested cash balances partially offset by higher interest income on the Company’s bond investments.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $3.5 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $2.4 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months primarily due to lower capitalized interest, higher interest expense on capital lease obligations and interest on foreign tax settlements.

Marketable security gains (losses), net. Marketable security gains, net increased $24.0 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $32.8 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months primarily resulting from realized and unrealized gains on short sales of marketable securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from working capital needs, meeting its capital commitments and the repayment of debt obligations. In addition, the Company may use its liquidity to fund acquisitions, repurchase shares of SEACOR common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), for treasury or to make other investments. Sources of liquidity are cash balances, marketable securities, construction reserve funds, Title XI reserve funds, cash flows from operations and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility. From time to time, the Company may secure additional liquidity through the issuance of debt, shares of Common Stock, preferred stock, or a combination thereof.

Net Decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents	(211,162	)	(77,946	)

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities decreased in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months primarily due to unfavorable changes in working capital and reduced operating results before depreciation and gains on asset dispositions.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities decreased in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months primarily due to higher withdrawals from construction reserve funds, increased proceeds from sales of marketable securities and lower purchases of property and equipment. These additional sources of cash were partially offset by lower proceeds from the sale of property and equipment and increased purchases of marketable securities.

During the Current Nine Months, capital expenditures were $315.6 million. Equipment deliveries during the period included seven offshore marine vessels, 15 inland river dry cargo barges, four inland river towboats, 17 helicopters, three ocean liquid tank barges and four harbor tugs. During the Prior Nine Months, capital expenditures were $426.7 million. Excluding equipment from business acquisitions, equipment deliveries included 13 offshore marine vessels, 40 inland river dry cargo barges, 18 inland river deck barges, 19 helicopters and three harbor tugs.

During the Current Nine Months, the Company sold thirteen offshore marine vessels, one offshore marine construction contract, 21 inland river dry cargo barges, six inland river liquid tank barges, seven helicopters, three helicopter construction contracts, one harbor tug and other equipment for an aggregate consideration of $98.9 million and recognized net gains of $51.3 million. During the Prior Nine Months, the Company sold 30 offshore marine vessels, 118 inland river dry cargo barges, three inland river liquid tank barges, one towboat, seven helicopters, construction contracts and other equipment for an aggregate consideration of $305.2 million and recognized net gains of $74.3 million.

As of September 30, 2008, construction reserve funds of $247.8 million are classified as non-current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as the Company has the intent and ability to use the funds to acquire equipment. During the Current Nine Months, construction reserve fund account transactions included withdrawals of $183.3 million and deposits of $43.7 million. During the Prior Nine Months, construction reserve account transactions included withdrawals of $36.6 million and deposits of $64.1 million.

The Company’s unfunded capital commitments as of September 30, 2008 consisted primarily of offshore marine vessels, harbor tugs, helicopters and inland river barges and totaled $276.2 million, of which $114.2 million is payable during the remainder of 2008, with the balance payable through 2010. Of the total unfunded capital commitments, $35.1 million may be terminated without further liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $3.4 million in the aggregate.

During the Current Nine Months, cash used to purchase marketable security long positions was $155.6 million and cash used to cover marketable security short positions was $57.0 million. During the Prior Nine Months, cash used to purchase marketable security long positions was $17.3 million and cash used to cover marketable security short positions was $41.2 million.

During the Current Nine Months, cash received from the sale of marketable security long positions was $106.3 million and cash received upon entering into marketable security short positions was $35.6 million. During the Prior Nine Months, cash received from the sale of marketable security long positions was $31.4 million and cash received upon entering into marketable security short positions was $46.9 million.

Cash used in investing activities for business acquisitions, net of cash acquired was $6.1 million in the Current Nine Months and $39.3 million in the Prior Nine Months. Investing activities with the Company’s joint ventures used cash flows of $31.4 million in the Current Nine Months and $6.7 million in the Prior Nine Months.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities increased in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months primarily due to increased repurchases of Common Stock and higher payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt.

During the Current Nine Months, the Company acquired for treasury 2,824,317 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $240.0 million. From time to time, SEACOR’s Board of Directors grants authorization to repurchase shares of Common Stock and SEACOR’s 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024. On April 23, June 4 and September 10, 2008, SEACOR’s Board of Directors increased such repurchase

authority by $70.9 million, $75.5 million and $117.7 million, respectively, to a total authorized expenditure on each occasion of up to $150.0 million. As of September 30, 2008, $149.2 million of the repurchase authority granted by SEACOR’s Board of Directors remained available. Additionally, the Company may purchase, separate from such authorization, any or all of its 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009, its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012, and the 9.5% senior notes of Seabulk due 2013. Securities are acquired through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company repurchased $51.2 million, principal amount, of its 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009 and $0.5 million, principal amount, of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012, for an aggregate purchase price of $51.6 million.

During the Prior Nine Months, the Company acquired for treasury 1,762,980 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $158.3 million.

During the Current Nine Months, the Company made principal payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $29.7 million. During the Prior Nine Months, the Company made principal payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $17.1 million. During the Current Nine Months, the Company received proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $11.3 million.

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements

The current economic conditions have created an unprecedented disruption in the credit markets. To date, the Company’s liquidity has not been materially impacted and management does not expect that it will be materially impacted in the near-future. The Company anticipates it will continue to generate positive cash flows from operations and that these cash flows will be adequate to meet the Company’s working capital requirements. In support of the Company’s capital expenditure program or other liquidity requirements, the Company may use its cash balances, sell securities, utilize construction reserve funds, sell additional vessels or other equipment, enter into sale and leaseback transactions for equipment, borrow under its revolving credit facility, issue debt or a combination thereof.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company’s long-term debt included $134.5 million, principal amount, of its 7.2% Senior Notes due September 2009. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company repurchased $51.2 million, principal amount, of these notes, the balance of which the Company expects to refinance provided the credit and capital markets will be accessible on reasonable terms. If unable to refinance on reasonable terms, the Company intends to use its revolving credit facility to meet this obligation.

The Company’s long-term liquidity is dependent upon its ability to generate operating profits sufficient to meet its requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and a reasonable return on shareholders’ investment. The Company believes that earning such operating profits will permit it to maintain its access to favorably priced debt, equity or off-balance sheet financing arrangements. Management will continue to closely monitor the Company’s liquidity and the credit markets.

Contingencies

Marine Transportation Services (“MTS”) had two of its tankers retro-fitted to a double-hull configuration in a foreign shipyard to enable each of them to continue to transport crude oil and petroleum products beyond their OPA 90 mandated retirement dates in 2011. Both vessels operate in the U.S. coastwise, or Jones Act, trade which is restricted to vessels built or rebuilt in the United States. In May 2005, MTS received a determination from the National Vessel Documentation Center (“NVDC”) of the U.S. Coast Guard (“USCG”), which administers the U.S. build requirements of the Jones Act, concluding the retro-fit work would not constitute a foreign rebuilding and therefore would not jeopardize the tankers’ eligibility to operate in the U.S. coastwise trade. MTS completed the retro-fit work in the foreign shipyard in reliance upon the NVDC’s determination. MTS believes the NVDC’s determination was correct and in accord with the USCG’s long-standing regulations and interpretations. On July 9, 2007, a U.S. shipbuilders trade association and two operators of tankers in the U.S. coastwise trade (“Shipbuilders”) commenced a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (“Court”), Shipbuilders Council of America, Inc., et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, et al., No. 1:07cv665 (E.D. Va.) (the “SB Trader Litigation”), in which they sought to have the court set aside the NVDC’s determination and direct the USCG to revoke the coastwise license of one of the two retro-fitted tankers, the Seabulk Trader. MTS intervened in the action to assist the USCG in defending the NVDC’s determination. On April 24, 2008, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion granting a motion for summary judgment filed by the Shipbuilders, setting aside the NVDC’s determination, and remanding the matter to the USCG for further proceedings with instructions to revoke the coastwise endorsement for the Seabulk Trader. MTS filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit and a motion requesting the Court to stay its judgment pending appeal. The Court entered an order temporarily staying its judgment pending appeal and, on August 18, 2008, issued an order expressing its intention to revise its Memorandum Opinion by deleting the instruction to the NVDC to revoke the Seabulk Trader’s coastwise endorsement and remanding the matter to the USCG with a direction to complete its proceedings reevaluating its prior determination in accordance with the Court’s revised order within 90 days. On August 20, 2008, MTS and the Coast Guard filed with the court of appeals a motion to remand and suspend the briefing schedule and moved for an order remanding the case to the Court to permit the Court to amend its Memorandum Opinion in accordance with its August 18, 2008, order. On October 23, 2008, the court of appeals denied the motion to remand. Consequently, the court of appeals will review the district court’s decision on appeal, and MTS will ask the Court to make permanent the order staying its judgment pending appeal. On July 2, 2008, Shipbuilders commenced a second civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, entitled Shipbuilders Council of America, Inc., et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, et al., No. 1:08cv680 (E.D. Va.) (the “SB Challenge Litigation”), alleging essentially identical claims as those asserted in the SB Trader Litigation against

MTS’s second retro-fitted tanker, the Seabulk Challenge. As it did in the SB Trader Litigation, MTS intends to intervene in the SB Challenge Litigation. The loss of coastwise eligibility for its two retro-fitted tankers could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and its results of operations. The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s two retro-fitted tankers was $61.8 million as of September 30, 2008 and such tankers contributed operating revenues of $20.4 million during the Current Nine Months.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company are participating employers in an industry-wide, multi-employer, defined benefit pension fund, the United Kingdom Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund (“MNOPF”). Under the direction of a court order, any deficit of the MNOPF is to be remedied through funding contributions from all participating employers. The Company’s participation relates to officers employed between 1978 and 2002 by SEACOR’s Stirling group of companies (which had been acquired by SEACOR in 2001) and its predecessors. Based on an actuarial valuation of the MNOPF in 2003, the Company was invoiced and expensed $4.4 million in 2005, representing the Company’s allocated share of a total funding deficit of $412.0 million. Subsequent to this invoice, the pension fund trustees determined that $49.0 million of the $412.0 million deficit was deemed uncollectible due to the non-existence or liquidation of certain participating employers, and the Company was invoiced and expensed $0.6 million in March 2007 for its allocated share of the uncollectible deficit. Based on an actuarial valuation of the MNOPF in 2006, the Company was invoiced and expensed $3.9 million in September 2007, representing the Company’s allocated share of an additional funding deficit of $332.6 million. Depending on the results of future actuarial valuations, it is possible that the MNOPF will experience further funding deficits requiring the Company to recognize payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. There has been no significant change in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the Current Nine Months, except as described below.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company held available-for-sale marketable securities with a fair value of $72.9 million, including $47.8 million in fixed income investments consisting of corporate debt securities, municipal bonds and foreign government bonds and $25.1 million in equity securities. The fair value of the fixed income securities fluctuates based on market interest rates and the creditworthiness of the issuers. When making substantial investments in fixed income securities, the Company manages its risk associated with these investments by analyzing the creditworthiness of issuers and utilizing other techniques which may include maintaining a ladder of maturities. The Company’s investments in equity securities primarily include positions in energy, marine, transportation and other related businesses. The Company reviews its investments in available-for-sale marketable securities for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the decline in fair value of such assets below the carrying value is other than temporary. The analysis includes a review of the type of security and probability of recovery, the financial condition and near-term prospects of the issuer, the intent and ability to retain the investments in the issuer for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value, the period of time until anticipated recovery, and the period of time that a decline in value has existed. Based on the Company’s review, accumulated other comprehensive losses of $3.0 million, net of tax, relating to its long positions are deemed temporary and no impairment has been recognized. Additionally, the Company disposes of these investments when it judges the risk profile to be too high or when it believes that the investments have reached an attractive valuation. As of September 30, 2008, a 10% decline in the value of available-for-sale marketable securities would reduce other comprehensive income by $4.7 million, net of tax.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company held positions in short sales of marketable securities with a fair value of $61.2 million. The Company’s short sales of marketable securities primarily include positions in energy, marine, transportation and other related businesses. As of September 30, 2008, a 10% increase in the value of the securities underlying the short sale positions of the Company would reduce income by $4.0 million, net of tax.

The Company held positions in publicly traded equity options which may convey to the Company a right or obligation to engage in a future transaction on the underlying equity security. These investments include positions in energy, marine, transportation and other related businesses. These investments have short-term maturities and their market values fluctuate based on changes in the price and volatility of the underlying security, the strike price of the option and the time to expiration. As of September 30, 2008, the fair value of the Company’s held positions in publicly traded equity options was an unrealized loss of $7.8 million.

The Company has entered into and settled various positions in forward exchange, option and future contracts with respect to the pound sterling, euro, yen, rupee, Singapore dollar, won, Taiwanese dollar, ringgit, dinar, renminbi, dirham and rand. These contracts enable the Company to buy or sell these currencies in the future at fixed exchange rates, which could offset possible consequences of changes in foreign exchange rates with respect to the Company’s business conducted in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Asia. As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding foreign currency contract positions translate to a net purchase of foreign currencies with an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent of $151.2 million. An adverse change in the underlying foreign currency exchange rates of 10% would reduce income by $9.8 million, net of tax. Subsequent to September 30, 2008, the Company settled all of its foreign currency forward contracts. There was no significant adverse change incurred as a result of the termination of these contracts.

As of June 2008, the Company no longer designated any of its foreign currency forward contracts as fair value hedges for capital commitments. For the Current Nine Months, the Company reduced its capital commitment obligations by $8.3 million as a result of the foreign currency forward contracts previously designated as fair value hedges.
