 A. Wilhelm Wilhelm. For German rulers thus named, use William. , President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are obviously pleased to deliver yet another quarter of solid operating results. Strong 15% growth in pre-tax income reflects the Company's ongoing ability to provide consistent, predictable financial results despite the continuing impact of Hurricane Katrina.

"We added 18 net new locations during the second quarter of 2006, and our retention rate for existing business improved to 92% for the twelve months ended June 30, 2006.

Second Quarter Operating Results

Revenue for the second quarter of 2006, excluding reimbursed management contract expense, increased by approximately 4% to $64.9 million from $62.5 million in the year ago period. Excluding New Orleans New Orleans (ôr`lēənz –lənz, ôrlēnz`), city (2006 pop. 187,525), coextensive with Orleans parish, SE La., between the Mississippi River and Lake Pontchartrain, 107 mi (172 km) by water from the river mouth; founded , revenue from same locations (locations open more than one year) increased by 6% as compared to the second quarter of 2005.

Gross profit in the quarter increased by more than 7% to $18.8 million from $17.5 million a year ago, despite the fact that gross profit from the Company's New Orleans operations was $0.5 million less than the year ago period due to Hurricane Katrina. While the recovery in New Orleans continues, progress is slow and not all of the City's operations are back to pre-Hurricane levels. During the second quarter, however, the Company did resume collections from the City's on-street adj. 1. at the sides of streets; as, on-street parking is prohibited at rush hour s>. Opposite of off-street nt>.

 meters, and now is collecting revenues from 3,800 parking spaces. An insurance claim for the Company's Hurricane-related losses has been filed, although no final determination is expected before the end of 2006. Second quarter 2006 gross profit included $0.2 million realized from the Sound Parking portfolio, which was partially offset by a $0.1 million charge related to an operation in Minnesota Minnesota, state, United States
Minnesota (mĭn'ĭsō`tə), upper midwestern state of the United States. It is bordered by Lake Superior and Wisconsin (E), Iowa (S), South Dakota and North Dakota (W), and the Canadian provinces
. The contract for the Minnesota location was terminated as of the end of May 2006, and the Company does not expect any further financial obligations related to that contract. Same location gross profit increased by 6% during the second quarter, and would have been 8% excluding New Orleans.

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately 9% to $10.1 million from $9.2 million a year ago. The increase was due partially to the January January: see month.  acquisition of the Sound Parking operations of $0.1 million and stock compensation expense of $0.2 million resulting from the adoption of FAS 123R. Also, audit and Sarbanes-Oxley costs were incurred earlier in the year this year as compared to last year contributing to $0.2 million of the increase in G&A. The remainder of the increase was due to resource investments in new initiatives that began in the latter part of 2005. Second quarter 2006 general and administrative expenses were down $0.6 million, or almost 6% as compared to the 2006 first quarter, and the Company expects that its underlying G&A run rate for the remainder of 2006 will be consistent with second quarter levels.

Notes:

 increased by almost 6% to $7.2 million versus $6.8 million in the year ago quarter.

Free cash flow was used to reduce borrowings, resulting in reduced leverage and borrowing rates. Therefore, despite a higher interest rate environment, interest expense for the second quarter of 2006 decreased by almost 11% to $2.2 million from $2.5 million a year ago. Pre-tax income for the second quarter increased by more than 15% to $5.0 million, or $0.49 per share, from $4.4 million, or $0.41 per share, in the second quarter of 2005. The Company expects its 2006 book tax provision to be approximately 15% in the absence of any changes to the valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets.

 tax expense, the Company considers year-over-year growth in pre-tax income to be the most meaningful measure of its overall earnings performance. The Company continues to expect its cash tax expense to be under 5% for 2006.

Net income for the 2006 second quarter was $4.4 million, or $0.43 per share, versus $4.3 million, or $0.40 per share, a year ago.

Free cash flow for the second quarter was $13.6 million as compared with $2.8 million a year ago. As noted in the first quarter release, there was a permanent shift in the timing of approximately $3.0 million in payments under the Company's performance-based compensation program, from the 2005 second quarter to the first quarter of 2006 (and subsequent years). Normal fluctuations in the timing of payments, collections and certain accruals Accruals

Year-to-Date Year-to-date (YTD)

The period beginning at the start of the calendar year up to the current date.
 Results

Revenue for the first half of 2006, excluding reimbursed management contract expense, increased by over 4% to $128.5 million from $123.0 million in the first half of 2005.

Gross profit for the first half of 2006 increased over 12% to $37.6 million from $33.5 million in the year ago period. The Sound Parking portfolio in Seattle that the Company acquired in January 2006 generated $0.4 million of gross profit in 2006. Gross profit for 2006 was negatively affected, however, by $0.8 million due to the continuing impact of Hurricane Katrina and by a $0.2 million charge related to the terminated Minnesota operation.

General and administrative expenses for the first six months of 2006 increased 13% to $20.7 million from $18.3 million for the first six months of 2005. Aside from the ongoing costs related to permanent resource investment in growth initiatives, other contributing factors include expenses associated with the acquired Sound Parking operations of $0.3 million, stock compensation expense of $0.3 million, and additional audit and Sarbanes-Oxley expenses of $0.2 million.

Operating income for the first half of 2006 increased almost 22% to $13.9 million from $11.4 million in the first half of 2005. Excluding the $0.9 million valuation allowance taken in the first quarter of 2005, first half 2006 operating income would have increased 13% over first half 2005 results.

Interest expense decreased by $0.5 million to $4.4 million for the first six months of 2006, due to a reduction in outstanding borrowings and applicable rates.

Pre-tax income was $9.4 million, an increase of almost 46% over the same period last year. After adjusting for last year's valuation allowance, pre-tax income for the first six months of 2006 increased 28% as compared with the same period of 2005.

Income tax expense was $1.3 million for the first six months of 2006 as compared with $0.1 million for the six months of 2005 due to the recording of $0.5 million of quarterly deferred tax expense. Net income for the first half of 2006 was $8.2 million as compared with $6.4 million in the same period of 2005, an increase of 29%. This translates to earnings per share of $0.79 for the first half of 2006 as compared with $0.60 for the same period last year.

The Company generated $10.8 million of free cash flow during the first half of 2006 as compared with $8.7 million during the first half of 2005. With the elimination of semi-annual interest payments that will result from the Company's July 2006 redemption of all of its outstanding 9.25% Notes, the timing of free cash flow will change from its historical patterns, even without the normal fluctuations in working capital. The Company nevertheless continues to expect to generate at least $20 million in 2006 free cash flow.

Wilhelm concluded, "Our pipeline for new business remains strong, especially in our airport and hospital / university businesses. In the Airport Division, we retained every contract that was up for bid during the first two quarters and added some new inventory. We are on track with what we have forecasted in terms of deals for the third and fourth quarters.

"As expected, our recent acquisition of the Sound Parking portfolio is providing benefits through its integration into our operations in the Pacific Northwest. We are successfully leveraging its relationships with our size to participate in major transactions in that marketplace that neither Company would have been able to accomplish on its own.

"Finally, due to our stock's performance and the resulting increase in our market capitalization Market Capitalization

A measure of a public company's size. Market capitalization is the total dollar value of all outstanding shares. It's calculated by multiplying the number of shares times the current market price. This term is often referred to as market cap.

. We look forward to the increased visibility that this recognition will bring."

Financial Outlook

Based on the year-to-date results, the Company is raising its net earnings guidance for the 2006 year by $0.10 to $1.60 - $1.70 per share. The Company also is raising its pre-tax income per share expectation by $0.10 to $1.84 - $1.94. The Company also reaffirms its expectation that free cash flow will be $20 million or higher for the year.
