NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
The condensed consolidated financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 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, which effective July 1, 2005 include Seabulk International, Inc. (Seabulk see Note 2). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and those described in Note 2) have been made to present fairly the Companys financial position as of March 31, 2006 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the 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 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 Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
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.
Certain reclassifications of prior period information have been made to conform to the presentation of the current period.
2. Seabulk Merger and Disposition of Held for Sale Seabulk Assets
On July 1, 2005, SEACOR completed its acquisition of Seabulk through a merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary of SEACOR (the Seabulk Merger). The Seabulk Merger was accounted for as a purchase, with SEACOR as the acquiror in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. Accordingly, SEACOR has performed a preliminary fair value analysis and the purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities of Seabulk, including certain identifiable intangible assets, based on their estimated fair values as of July 1, 2005, with the excess of purchase price over fair value recorded as goodwill in the amount of $18.6 million. Further changes to the preliminary fair value analysis may be made as valuations of assets and liabilities are finalized and additional information becomes available, primarily related to the fair value of acquired equipment, identifiable intangible assets and income tax obligations.
Changes to the allocation of purchase price during the three months ended March 31, 2006 are summarized in the following table (in thousands):

As part of the fair value analysis, the Company designated certain Seabulk vessels as held for sale which aggregated $124.2 million, net of drydock commitments, including two foreign-flag double-hulled product tankers, one tug and twelve offshore supply vessels. During the six months ended December 31, 2005, Seabulk sold the two foreign-flag double-hull product tankers, one tug and six offshore supply vessels for aggregate consideration of $117.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, Seabulk sold four offshore supply vessels for aggregate consideration of $6.0 million. No gain or loss on the sale of the vessels was recorded as the fair value of the vessels was equal to the net sales price. As of March 31, 2006, two offshore supply vessels with combined value of $0.5 million were classified as held for sale.

Pro forma Information The following pro forma information has been prepared as if the acquisition of Seabulk had occurred on January 1, 2005.

3. Equipment Acquisitions, Dispositions and Depreciation Policy
Capital expenditures aggregated $57.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006. Equipment deliveries during the period included one new towing supply vessel, nine new dry cargo covered hopper barges and two new helicopters. In addition to the disposition of the four Seabulk vessels designated as held for sale, the Company sold twelve offshore support vessels, two helicopters and other equipment for aggregate consideration of $49.2 million and recognized a gain of $20.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2006.
Equipment, stated at cost, is depreciated over the estimated useful lives of the assets using the straight-line method. For offshore support vessels and related equipment estimated useful lives are generally 20 years from date of build, for marine transportation tankers 25 years from date of build or the required retirement date as determined by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, for inland river dry cargo and chemical tank barges 20 years from date of build, for helicopters and related equipment 12 years from date of build, for harbor and offshore tugs 40 years from date of build, and for all other equipment 2 to 20 years.
4. Disposition of Joint Venture Interest
In 1994, the Company and Grupo TMM, S.A., a Mexican corporation (TMM) organized a joint venture, Maritima Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. (Marmex) to serve the Mexican offshore market. Effective March 3, 2006 the Company sold its 40% interest in Marmex to TMM for $20.0 million, recognized a gain of $4.5 million, net of tax and was released from its guarantees in the amount of $8.0 million with respect to vessels bareboat chartered to the joint venture. In addition, TMM purchased five offshore vessels from the Company for aggregate consideration of approximately $37.3 million (see Note 3).
Construction reserve fund accounts were established by the Company pursuant to Section 511 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended. 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. As of March 31, 2006, construction reserve funds of $156.4 million are classified as non-current assets as the Company has the intent and ability to maintain the funds more than one year and/or use the funds to acquire property and equipment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company withdrew $10.2 million from its joint depository construction reserve fund accounts with the consent of the Maritime Administration (MARAD). The withdrawals reimbursed the Company for a prior purchase of an offshore supply vessel. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, these withdrawals were offset by the Companys deposit into its joint depository construction reserve fund accounts of additional offshore support vessel sale proceeds and interest earned on invested fund balances totaling $43.8 million.

6. Commitments and Contingencies
The Companys unfunded capital commitments as of March 31, 2006 for new helicopters, new dry cargo covered hopper barges, new offshore support vessels and other equipment totaled $669.0 million, of which $498.0 million is payable in 2006 and 2007 with the remaining balance payable through 2009. Of these commitments, approximately $141.0 million may be terminated without liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $2.5 million in the aggregate. Subsequent to March 31, 2006, the Company committed to purchase additional equipment including a barge, a supply vessel and a helicopter in the aggregate amount of $6.7 million.
The Company has guaranteed the payment of amounts owed by certain of its joint ventures under vessel charter agreements that expire through 2009. In addition, the Company has guaranteed amounts owed by certain of its joint ventures under a banking facility and a performance guarantee. As of March 31, 2006, the total amount guaranteed by the Company was $4.4 million.
A subsidiary of SEACOR has 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 Gulf of Mexico. The Company believes that this subpoena is part of a broader industry inquiry and that the other providers also have received such subpoena. SEACOR intends to provide all information requested in the 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 the prohibitions, Seabulk has filed three reports with and submitted documents to the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of Treasury. 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 the Seabulks 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 and/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 financial position or results of operations.
7. Long-Term Debt
As of March 31, 2006, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the SEACOR revolving credit facility which terminates in February 2007. Remaining availability under the SEACOR revolving credit facility was $180.3 million, net of issued letters of credit of $19.7 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company terminated the Seabulk credit facility.
8. Stock and Debt Repurchases
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company did not acquire any shares of SEACOR common stock, par value $0.01 per share, (Common Stock) for treasury. As of March 31, 2006, repurchase authority of $50.0 million granted by the Companys Board of Directors remains available for acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock, SEACORs 7.2% Senior Notes Due 2009, its 5-7/8% Senior Notes due 2012, its 2.875% Convertible Debentures Due 2024 and the 9.5% senior notes of Seabulk due 2013. Securities are acquired from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions.

9. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per common share were computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the relevant periods. Diluted earnings per common share were computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus all potentially dilutive common shares that would have been outstanding in the relevant periods assuming the vesting of restricted stock grants and the issuance of common shares for stock options and convertible subordinated notes through the application of the treasury stock and if-converted methods. Diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2006 included all outstanding options and share awards. Diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended March 31, 2005 excluded 83,560 options and share awards as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive.

10. Comprehensive Income
For the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, total comprehensive income was $49.4 million and $17.6 million, respectively. Other comprehensive income (loss) consisted of gains and losses from foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized holding gains and losses on available-for-sale securities.
11. Share-Based Compensation
On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payments (SFAS No. 123(R)), which is a revision of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Share-Based Payments (SFAS No. 123). SFAS No. 123 supersedes Accounting Principal Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25) and amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS No. 123(R) requires all share based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. SFAS No. 123(R) eliminates the alternative of using the intrinsic method of accounting provided for in APB No. 25, which generally resulted in no compensation expense recorded in the financial statements related to the grant of stock options to employees if certain conditions were met. However, APB 25 required recognition of compensation expense for other share-based awards such as restricted stock grants.
The fair value concepts were not changed significantly in SFAS No. 123(R); however, in adopting SFAS No. 123(R), companies must choose among alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions. After assessing alternative valuation models and amortization assumptions, the Company has continued using both the Black-Scholes valuation model and straight-line amortization of compensation expense over the requisite service period of the grants. The Company will reconsider use of this model if additional information becomes available in the future that indicates another model would be more appropriate, or if grants issued in future periods have characteristics that cannot be reasonably estimated using this model. The Company has previously estimated forfeitures in our expense calculation for pro forma footnote disclosure and no change in that methodology was made upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R).
7
The Companys share-based compensation plans as described in Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 have not been modified during the three months ended March 31, 2006. Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective method which requires the Company to record compensation expense for all awards granted after the date of adoption and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that remain outstanding at the date of adoption. Accordingly, prior period amounts presented herein have not been restated to reflect the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R). In accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), the Company will present the excess tax benefits from the exercise of stock options as a financing cash flow in our statements of cash flows in the period realized. The effect of adopting SFAS No. 123(R) did not have a material impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
The previously disclosed pro forma effects of recognizing the estimated fair value of stock-based compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are presented below (amounts in thousands, except per share data):

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company also issued 45,798 shares of Common Stock in exchange for restricted stock units previously issued by Seabulk and assumed as part of the Seabulk Merger.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company recognized $1.2 million of compensation expense related to stock options, employee stock purchase plan purchases, restricted stock grants (including restricted stock units) and director stock grants. The weighted average value of grants under the Companys share-based compensation plans were $59.44 and $50.07 for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The fair value of each option granted during the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: (a) no dividend yield, (b) weighted average expected volatility of 26.0% and 27.6%, respectively, (c) weighted average discount rates of 4.72% and 4.17%, respectively, and (d) expected lives of five years.
The aggregate intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2006 was $5.5 million. As of March 31, 2006, the aggregate intrinsic value of all options outstanding, all exercisable options and all restricted stock awards outstanding was $32.8 million, $26.0 million and $12.8. million, respectively. As of March 31, 2006, the Company had approximately $14.7 million in total unrecognized compensation costs related to its share-based compensation plans. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2 years.

12. Segment Information
Accounting standards require public business enterprises to report information about each of their operating business segments that exceed certain quantitative thresholds or meet certain other reporting requirements. 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 Companys basis of measurement of segment profit or loss has not changed from those previously described in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10 - K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005. Certain reclassifications of prior period information have been made to conform to the current periods reportable segment presentation.

Operating Revenues Current Year Quarter compared to Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico region increased $46.0 million in the Current Year Quarter as compared to the Prior Year Quarter. Demand for offshore support vessels was stronger in the Current Year Quarter, partly in response to higher levels of exploration and production activity but also due to the continuing requirements for offshore support vessels to support the re-construction of offshore installations damaged during the hurricanes of 2005. These factors contributed to higher rates per day worked and higher utilization for SEACORs pre-existing fleet across all vessel classes compared to the Prior Year Quarter and an increase in Operating Revenues of approximately $17.6 million.
The Company continually assesses its asset portfolio and regularly buys, sells, charters and repositions vessels in an effort to align Offshore Marine Services fleet mix with the anticipated needs of its customers. Adjustments in the fleet mix in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico resulted in increased operating revenues of $28.4 million in the Current Year Quarter, of which $14.1 million was attributable to vessels acquired in the Seabulk Merger. Another $14.3 million was generated by vessels added to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico fleet in the Current Year Quarter, primarily through new builds, other vessels acquired from third parties, changes in charter arrangements and vessel relocations.
Operating revenues in the United Kingdom region decreased $4.0 million in the Current Year Quarter as compared to the Prior Year Quarter primarily as a result of the sale of the Companys North Sea Anchor Handling Towing Supply vessel and Platform Supply vessels in the Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues for the Companys Standby Safety vessels fell $0.3 million due to the changes in the value of the US Dollar relative to the British Pound for charter hire denominated in British Pounds.
Operating revenues in the Africa region increased $24.3 million in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter. Increased fleet size as a result of the Seabulk Merger accounted for $21.0 million of the increase, other changes in the fleet mix due to acquisitions and dispositions accounted for $0.2 million of the increase and $3.1 million was due to changes in utilization and average day rates for SEACORs pre-existing fleet.
Operating revenues in the Latin America/Mexico region increased by $0.7 million in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter. Increased fleet size as a result of the Seabulk Merger accounted for an increase of $2.9 million, offset by changes in fleet mix due to sales and relocations.
Operating revenues in the Asia region increased $6.3 million in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter. Increased fleet size as a result of the Seabulk Merger accounted for $5.1 million of the increase and brokered vessel activity accounted for $1.1 million of the increase.
Operating revenues in the Middle East region in the Current Year Quarter were primarily due to the results of vessels acquired in the Seabulk Merger. In addition, one vessel from SEACORs pre-existing fleet operated in the Middle East region throughout the Current Year Quarter.
Operating Income Current Year Quarter compared to Prior Year Quarter. Operating Income increased $43.8 million over the Prior Year Quarter. Seabulk vessels contributed $12.2 million of this increase. Results in the Current Year Quarter included $20.6 million in gains on sale of assets compared to $12.9 million of gains in the Prior Year Quarter.
12
Operating expenses in the Current Year Quarter for SEACORs pre-existing international fleet were generally consistent with the Prior Year Quarter.
Operating expenses in the Current Year Quarter for SEACORs pre-existing U.S. Gulf of Mexico fleet were higher as compared to the Prior Year Quarter. The increase was a result of wage costs related to fleet mix and higher pay rates for sea staff, higher repair and maintenance expense and third party management fees.
Operating Data. The table below sets forth operational data for Offshore Marine Services during the periods indicated.

Operating Revenues Current Year Quarter compared to Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues for the Current Year Quarter reflect the Companys tanker fleet operations acquired in the Seabulk Merger. Seven of the ten vessels remain on term contracts. Two vessels were subject to contract renegotiation in the Current Year Quarter which resulted in increased day rates of approximately 4%. Three vessels were operating under contracts of affreightment.
Operating Income Current Year Quarter compared to Prior Year Quarter. Operating income for the Current Year Quarter was impacted by regulatory drydocking costs and insurance deductibles of approximately $1.2 million for one of the Companys tankers following a grounding in Alaska.
As of March 31, 2006, Marine Transportation Services operated ten Jones Act U.S.-flag product tankers in the domestic coastwise trade, of which it owns nine and leases one.

Operating Revenues Current Year Quarter compared to Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues in the Current Year Quarter increased by $9.0 million compared to the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to fleet additions, which included both additional barges and towboats. Net fleet additions between the two quarters included 64 dry cargo hopper barges, 19 chemical tank barges, one towboat, seven harbor boats, two floating cranes, a dry dock and other assets supporting fleet operations. Fleet growth increased available operating barge days in the Current Year Quarter by 10% compared to the Prior Year Quarter.
Operating revenue also increased in the Current Year Quarter compared to the Prior Year Quarter due to higher freight rates for dry bulk commodities. Demand was stronger for both grain and non-grain commodity shipping capacity partly due to reduced availability of dry cargo barges in an older industry-wide fleet. Mild temperatures and lower river conditions resulted in fewer delays and traffic interruptions but smaller per barge loads on the upper river system in the Current Year Quarter.
As of March 31, 2006, Inland River Services operated a fleet of 1,140 dry cargo hopper barges, of which 758 were owned, 187 were chartered in, 189 were managed and six were joint-ventured. Inland River Services also owns 44 chemical tank barges and seven towboats, three of which are joint-ventured and seven harbor boats, two floating cranes, a dry dock and other assets related to its fleeting services business.
Operating Income Current Year Quarter compared to Prior Year Quarter. Operating income in the Current Year Quarter increased $7.1 million compared to the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to barge fleet expansion and improved profitability that resulted from higher freight rates and increased volumes of cargo stored in barges. The operating income improvements were partially offset by higher operating expenses and the lingering operational delays in New Orleans caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. Rising fuel costs and operating delay expenses were offset by a traffic pattern change that had fewer loadings on the Ohio and Illinois rivers but more loadings on the lower Mississippi.

Operating Revenues Current Year Quarter compared to Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues for the Current Year Quarter increased $9.7 million as compared to the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to higher demand in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico resulting from increased drilling and production activity, continued support of hurricane-related recovery efforts and increased rates. The increased demand was met through ongoing changes in fleet mix as compared to the Prior Year Quarter as well as better utilization of equipment. Additionally, aircraft designated for seasonal activity in the Prior Year Quarter, such as flight seeing and firefighting work, were relocated to the U.S. Gulf of Mexico to support the increased demand. Continued efforts to modernize the fleet whereby older equipment was removed from service and replaced with newer aircraft yielded higher rates as did current market conditions in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico related to the increased demand. Aviation Services also generated revenue via long-term leases of equipment that had been idle in the Prior Year Quarter.
Operating Loss Current Year Quarter compared to Prior Year Quarter. Operating Loss for the Current Year Quarter decreased $3.7 million primarily due to the increase in revenue growth. The decrease was partially offset by higher costs related to fleet modernization, including training, wages and taxes as well as continued costs associated with rebuilding our bases that were damaged by the hurricanes of 2005 and legal costs primarily related to a Department of Justice subpoena. Some of the newer equipment was placed in prepaid maintenance programs, which results in maintenance expense by being recognized as flight hours are incurred. Additionally, during the Current Year Quarter Aviation Services performed scheduled maintenance work to ready helicopters for summer flight seeing activities in Alaska.
As of March 31, 2006, Aviation Services operated a fleet of 109 helicopters.

Operating Revenues Current Year Quarter compared to Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues in the Current Year Quarter decreased by $8.0 million compared to the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to reduced spill response activities. Response activity in the Current Year Quarter was largely the result of a continuation of services begun in the aftermath of the hurricanes which impacted the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Activity in the Prior Year Quarter was the continuation of a major oil spill response on the Delaware River begun in the fourth quarter of 2004. For the Prior Year Quarter $18.2 million or 51% of Environmental Services operating revenues were related to spill response activity compared to $8.5 million, or 30% in the Current Year Quarter.
Operating Income Current Year Quarter compared to Prior Year Quarter. Operating income was $2.3 million lower in the Current Year Quarter largely as a result of the reduction in spill response activity noted above, lower margins for spill response activity and reduced retainer fees.
The operating results of Environmental Services are very dependent on the number of spills in a given period and the magnitude of each spill. Consequently, spill response revenues and related profits can vary materially between comparable periods, and the operating revenues and profits earned in any one period are not indicative of a trend or of anticipated results in future periods.

Other income (expense), net Current Year Quarter compared to Prior Year Quarter. Net interest expense increased primarily due to $6.6 million of interest expense on assumed Seabulk debt as part of the Seabulk Merger partially offset by an increase in interest income of $3.5 million as a result of higher cash balances and interest rates. Derivative loss, net increased primarily due to a $3.9 million loss in the Current Year Quarter on an interest rate swap assumed as part of the Seabulk Merger partially offset by increased gains on commodity and foreign currency future contracts. Marketable securities sale gains (losses) in all reported periods included net gains (losses) from the sale of equity and fixed income marketable securities and short-sale positions.
Equity Earnings
Equity earnings increased $4.8 million to $6.4 million in the Current Year Quarter primarily as a result of a gain of $4.5 million, net of tax on the sale in the Current Year Quarter of the Companys interest in Maritima Mexicana, S.A. de C.V. (Marmex), a joint venture organized by the Company and Grupo TMM, S.A., a Mexican corporation. During the Current Year Quarter operating results improved in several entities in which the Company owns a 50% or less equity interest, including its bulk carrier joint venture and certain offshore marine and environmental joint ventures.
Discontinued Operations
On December 31, 2004, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Era Aviation, Inc. (Era). Effective May 27, 2005, the Company sold Eras regional airline service business, previously held for sale, for cash consideration of $15.0 million. The operating results of the regional airline service business for the Prior Year Quarter have been reported as Discontinued Operations in the Companys Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

General
The Companys ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from working capital needs, acquisition, construction or improvement of equipment, repayment of debt obligations, repurchase of common stock and purchase of other investments. Principal sources of liquidity are cash balances, marketable securities, construction reserve funds, cash flows from operations and borrowings under the Companys revolving credit facility although, from time to time, the Company may issue debt, shares of Common Stock, preferred stock, or a combination thereof, or sell vessels and other assets to finance the acquisition of equipment and businesses or make improvements to existing equipment. Fleet size, rates of hire and utilization of the Companys offshore support vessels, inland barges, helicopters, tankers and harbor tugs and the number and severity of oil spills managed by Environmental Services primarily determine the Companys levels of operating cash flows.

Cash flows from operating activities increased in the Current Year Quarter primarily due to the Seabulk Merger and improved operating results before depreciation and asset sales in all of the Companys lines of business (see Consolidated Results of Operations discussion above), partially offset by increases in working capital.
Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities declined in the Current Year Quarter primarily from decreased proceeds from sales of equipment and marketable securities, increased purchases of property and equipment and increased deposits into construction reserve fund accounts on sales of offshore supply vessels. These additional cash uses were partially offset by a decrease in purchases of marketable securities and proceeds on the sale of the Marmex joint venture. Capital expenditures aggregated $57.6 million in the Current Year Quarter. Also in the Current Year Quarter, the Company sold vessels, helicopters, held for sale assets and other equipment for aggregate consideration of $55.2 million.
Construction reserve fund accounts were established by the Company pursuant to Section 511 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended. 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. As of March 31, 2006, construction reserve funds of $156.4 million are classified as non-current assets as the Company has the intent and ability to maintain the funds more than one year and/or use the funds to acquire property and equipment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company withdrew $10.2 million from its joint depository construction reserve fund accounts with the consent of the Maritime Administration (MARAD). The withdrawals reimbursed the Company for a prior purchase of an offshore supply vessel. During the three months ended March 31, 2006, these withdrawals were offset by the Companys deposit into its joint depository construction reserve fund accounts of additional offshore support vessel sale proceeds and interest earned on invested fund balances totaling $43.8 million.

The Companys unfunded capital commitments as of March 31, 2006 for new helicopters, new dry cargo covered hopper barges, new offshore support vessels and other equipment totaled $669.0 million, of which $498.0 million is payable in 2006 and 2007 with the remaining balance payable through 2009. Of these commitments, approximately $141.0 million may be terminated without liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $2.5 million in the aggregate. Subsequent to March 31, 2006, the Company committed to purchase additional equipment including a barge, a supply vessel and a helicopter in the aggregate amount of $6.7 million.
Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities increased in the Current Year Quarter primarily due to repayment of outstanding debt, partially offset by the Companys reduction in repurchases of Common Stock and additional cash received on exercise of stock options.
During the Current Year Quarter the Company did not acquire any shares of its Common Stock for treasury. As of March 31, 2006, repurchase authority of $50.0 million granted by the Companys Board of Directors remains available for acquisition of additional shares of Common Stock, SEACORs 7.2% Senior Notes Due 2009, its 5-7/8% Senior Notes due 2012, its 2.875% Convertible Debentures Due 2024 and the 9.5% senior notes of Seabulk due 2013. Securities are acquired from time to time through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions.
As of March 31, 2006, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the SEACOR revolving credit facility which terminates in February 2007. Remaining availability under the SEACOR revolving credit facility was $180.3 million, net of issued letters of credit of $19.7 million. During the Current Year Quarter the Company terminated the Seabulk credit facility.
The Companys 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 and/or off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
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. While the Company believes it has meritorious defenses against these claims, management has used estimates in determining the Companys potential exposure and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Companys estimates of that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs will have a material effect on the Companys financial position or results of its operations.
A subsidiary of SEACOR has 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 Gulf of Mexico. The Company believes that this subpoena is part of a broader industry inquiry and that the other providers also have received such subpoena. SEACOR intends to provide all information requested in the 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 the prohibitions, Seabulk has filed three reports with and submitted documents to the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of Treasury. 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 of the Seabulk vessels which called in Sudan for several months in 1999 and January 2000, and charters with third parties involving several of the Seabulks 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 and/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 financial position or results of operations.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There has been no significant change in the Companys exposure to market risk during the three months ended March 31, 2006. For discussion of the Companys exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.
Subsequent to March 31, 2006, the Company entered into foreign exchange contracts with notional values of 10.0 million Pounds Sterling and 85.0 million Euros. The foreign exchange contracts are being used to offset possible consequences of changes in foreign exchange rates with respect to the Companys business conducted in those currencies.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
The Companys management evaluated, with the participation of the Companys principal executive and principal financial officers the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)), as of March 31, 2006. Based on their evaluation, the Companys principal executive and principal financial officers concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2006.
In conducting managements evaluation of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting, the operations of Seabulk, acquired July 1, 2005, were excluded. The business constituted approximately $1.1 billion of total assets as of March 31, 2006 and $6.6 million of net income for the three months ended March 31, 2006.
The Company has recently completed the implementation of a suite of software applications used to accumulate certain financial data for reporting business activities of Seabulks operations. This software application implementation was not made in response to any deficiency in the Companys internal controls and the same suite of software applications have been generally used in the Companys worldwide operation since the beginning of 2003. Except for the preceding changes there have been no other changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the Current Year Quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
