The accompanying notes are an integral part of these statements. 7 GREYHOUND LINES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 (UNAUDITED) 1. INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS In the opinion of management, the unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements of Greyhound Lines, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("Greyhound" or the "Company") include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2002, the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Due to the seasonality of the Company's operations, the results of its operations for the interim period ended September 30, 2002 may not be indicative of total results for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements of Greyhound Lines, Inc. and Subsidiaries and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2001. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period statements to conform them to the current year presentation. On March 16, 1999, the Company's stockholders approved the Agreement and Plan of Merger with Laidlaw Inc. ("Laidlaw") pursuant to which the Company became a wholly owned subsidiary of Laidlaw (the "Merger"). The consolidated financial statements of the Company do not reflect any purchase accounting adjustments relating to the Merger. On June 28, 2001, as part of a financial restructuring, Laidlaw USA, Inc., Laidlaw Inc., Laidlaw International Finance Corporation, Laidlaw Investments Ltd., Laidlaw One, Inc. and Laidlaw Transporation, Inc. filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of New York, under a jointly administered case captioned, In re: Laidlaw USA, Inc., et al, Case No. 01-14099. On that date, Laidlaw Inc. and Laidlaw Investments Ltd. also filed cases under the Canada Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice in Toronto, Canada, court file no. 01-CL-4178. Laidlaw is the ultimate parent company of Greyhound. Neither Greyhound, nor any of its subsidiaries were included in, or made party to, these reorganization filings and proceedings. The reorganization filings and proceedings do not cause a cross default with any of the Company's debt which would place the Company's debt in default with its financial institutions and, as of the date of this report, the Company is in compliance with all covenants in its various debt agreements. Although the outcome of the foregoing matters is uncertain, management believes that the likely outcome will have no material impact on the Company's financial position, cash flows or results of operations. In October 2002, Laidlaw filed a motion with the United States Bankruptcy Court that included an update on the status of their reorganization effort. Among the remaining outstanding issues to be resolved is a claim asserted in the bankruptcy proceedings by the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation relating to the current pension obligations of Greyhound. 2. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 ("SFAS 142") "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and, as a result, the Company ceased to amortize goodwill. In lieu of amortization, SFAS 142 requires that goodwill be reviewed for impairment upon adoption of SFAS 142 and at least annually thereafter. Under SFAS 142, goodwill impairment is deemed to exist if the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value. To determine estimated fair value of the reporting units the Company utilizes both a discounted cash flow methodology as well as the implied values of comparable companies. This methodology differs from the Company's previous accounting policy, which used undiscounted cash flows to determine possible impairment. 8 GREYHOUND LINES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 (UNAUDITED) 2. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS (CONTINUED) During the second quarter of 2002 the Company completed the initial impairment assessment as required by SFAS 142 and determined that the carrying value of its Bus Operations reporting unit exceeded that unit's fair value. As a result, effective to the first quarter of 2002, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $40.0 million ($37.6 million after tax) as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting for goodwill. Due to the establishment of a full valuation allowance against deferred tax assets during the third quarter 2002, the Company reversed the tax benefit allocated to this charge. The Company's remaining goodwill ($3.0 million) relates to the Courier Services reporting unit where fair value exceeds carrying value. In connection with adopting SFAS 142 the Company reassessed the useful lives and classification of its identifiable intangible assets and, with the exception of the useful life of trademarks, determined that the useful lives and classifications continue to be appropriate. Trademarks, which had previously been amortized over a fifteen year life, are now considered to have an indefinite life and are no longer amortized. During the first quarter of 2002 the Company completed an impairment test on its trademarks as required by SFAS 142 which did not result in an impairment charge. The trademarks will be subjected to an impairment test in the future at least annually. The following table provides information relating to the Company's amortized and unamortized intangible assets as of September 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 (in thousands):
SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 DECEMBER 31, 2001 ----------------------------- ----------------------------- ACCUMULATED ACCUMULATED COST AMORTIZATION COST AMORTIZATION ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Amortized intangible assets: Software $ 49,677 $ 29,871 $ 46,070 $ 27,154 Debt issuance costs 10,225 6,334 9,758 4,825 Deferred lease costs 3,847 2,767 3,847 2,357 Other 277 160 346 151 ------------- ------------- ------------- ------------- Total $ 64,026 $ 39,132 $ 60,021 $ 34,487 ============= ============= ============= ============= Unamortized intangible assets: Trademark $ 3,313 $ 3,313 ============= =============
Amortization expense for intangible assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $1.7 million and $5.2 million, respectively. Estimated amortization expense, excluding the effect of costs that may be capitalized in future periods, for the year ended December 31, 2002 and the four succeeding years are as follows: $6.9 million (2002); $6.5 million (2003); $5.0 million (2004); $4.1 million (2005) and $3.1 million (2006). Actual results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and proforma results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 had the Company applied the provisions of SFAS 142 in that period are as follows (in thousands):

9 GREYHOUND LINES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 (UNAUDITED) 3. REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY In July 2002, the Company amended the Revolving Credit Facility to extend the maturity date one year, to October 24, 2004, increase the letter of credit sub-facility to $50 million and modify certain definitions. The definition of consolidated cash flow was amended to exclude any loss recognized in connection with an asset sale. Additionally, the definition of consolidated net worth was amended to exclude up to $43.1 million in reductions in consolidated stockholder's equity due to impairment adjustments related to goodwill as a result of the implementation of SFAS 142. In November 2002, the Company executed an additional amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility further modifying the definition of consolidated cash flow and consolidated net worth. The definition of consolidated cash flow was amended such that cash flow excludes pension expense and instead is reduced by pension contributions (unless Laidlaw provides the funding for the contribution). The definition of consolidated net worth was amended to exclude up to $30 million of the effect of reductions in consolidated stockholder's equity due to the recognition of a minimum pension liability for periods prior to June 30, 2002, and for any additional reductions recorded during the period commencing July 1, 2002 and ending December 31, 2002. Additionally, the definition for consolidated net worth was amended to exclude reductions due to deferred tax adjustments recorded in 2002. The amendment also requires the Company to have at all times during the term of the agreement either borrowing availability of $20 million or a borrowing base (as defined in the agreement) of $145 million. Under the Revolving Credit Facility the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants, including a minimum consolidated cash flow to interest expense ratio, a maximum indebtedness to cash flow ratio and a minimum level of consolidated net worth. At September 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. Based upon the Company's annual operating budget (which extends through August 31, 2003), and after taking into account the effect of the amendments discussed above, management anticipates remaining in compliance with these covenants, although only by a small margin during the first and second quarter of 2003. Management is closely monitoring this situation and intends on requesting further amendments should it appear likely they will be necessary to remain in compliance with the covenants. 4. PENSION PLANS The Company maintains nine defined benefit pension plans, the most significant of which (the "ATU Plan") covers approximately 14,000 current and former employees, fewer than 1,000 of which are active employees of the Company. The ATU Plan was closed to new participants in 1983 and over 85% of its participants are over the age of 50. The Company has historically obtained actuarial valuations on the plans twice a year. The most recent actuarial valuation, as of May 31, 2002, reflected a $11.3 million decrease in the funded status of the pension plans as compared to the December 31, 2001 actuarial valuation. The decline in funded status is primarily attributable to losses experienced in the equity portion of the plans' investment portfolio. 10 GREYHOUND LINES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 (UNAUDITED) 4. PENSION PLAN (CONTINUED) Plan status as of the last two valuation dates is as follows (in millions):
PLAN MEASUREMENT DATE ---------------------------------- MAY 31, 2002 DECEMBER 31, 2001 -------------- ----------------- Benefit Obligation $ 686.6 $ 713.5 Fair Value of Plan Assets 618.7 656.9 -------------- -------------- Funded Status (67.9) (56.6) Unrecognized Prior Service Cost (8.0) -- Unrecognized Net Loss 108.0 92.7 -------------- -------------- Prepaid Benefit Cost $ 32.1 $ 36.1 ============== ============== Accrued Benefit Liability $ (65.9) $ (46.4) Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss 98.0 82.5 -------------- -------------- Prepaid Benefit Cost $ 32.1 $ 36.1 ============== ==============
The Company is required to record an additional minimum pension liability when the pension plans' accumulated benefit obligation exceeds the plans' assets by more than the amounts previously accrued for as pension costs. These charges are recorded as a reduction to stockholder's equity, as a component of accumulated comprehensive loss, net of any available tax benefit. During the third quarter, after obtaining the most recent actuarial valuation, the Company recorded an increase in the minimum liability of $15.5 million. Subsequent to the most recent actuarial valuation there has been a further decline in the value of plan assets. The Company believes that if plan assets remain at current levels and interest rates remain unchanged through the rest of the year, it will be required to further increase the minimum pension liability as of December 31, 2002. Although the exact amount of the additional charge to stockholder's equity is not known at this time, it will likely exceed $100 million. For financial reporting and investment planning purposes the Company currently uses an actuarial mortality table that closely matches the actual experience related to the existing participant population. For funding purposes, legislation passed by the United States Congress mandates the use of a prescribed actuarial mortality table and discount rates that differ from those used by the Company for financial reporting and investment planning purposes. Based upon plan asset values at September 30, 2002, and assumed annual investment returns, application of the actuarial mortality table and discount rates as prescribed by current regulations, and further assuming a continuation of the freeze of wage and service accruals, estimated Company contributions over the next five years to the ATU Plan, which represents approximately 89% of total plan obligations, is as follows (in millions):
ESTIMATED CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE ATU PLAN --------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 ------ ------- ------- -------- -------- 5.0% Investment Return $ -- $ 24.0 $ 86.6 $ 46.4 $ 48.0 7.5% Investment Return -- 24.0 77.6 42.7 42.5 10.0% Investment Return -- 24.0 68.6 39.3 36.7
However, there is no assurance that the ATU Plan will be able to earn the assumed rate of return, that new regulations may result in changes in the prescribed actuarial mortality table and discount rates, or that there will be market driven changes in the discount rates, which would result in the Company being required to make contributions in the future that differ significantly from the estimates above. 11 GREYHOUND LINES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 (UNAUDITED) 5. INCOME TAXES The Company has significant net deferred tax assets resulting from operating losses and other deductible temporary differences that will reduce taxable income in future periods. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is "more likely than not" that all or a portion of net deferred tax assets will not be realized. A review of all available positive and negative evidence needs to be considered, including expected reversals of significant deductible temporary differences, a company's recent financial performance, the market environment in which a company operates and the length of operating loss carryforward periods. Furthermore, the weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence should be commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. Therefore, current operating losses and the reasonable likelihood of significant near-term reversals of deductible temporary differences carry more weight than forecasted future operating profits. With the decline in pension fund assets during the quarter ended September 30, 2002, and attendant increase in projected pension funding (which will give rise to tax deductions when made), the Company concluded that it was appropriate to establish a full valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets. As a result, the valuation allowance for net deferred tax assets increased from $27.5 million at December 31, 2001, to $97.4 million at September 30, 2002. This increase was recorded during the third quarter of 2002 as a $61.7 million charge to tax expense, a $2.5 million charge to the cumulative effect of a change in the accounting for goodwill and a $5.7 million charge to accumulated other comprehensive loss (relating primarily to the tax benefit on the minimum pension liability recorded during 2002). In addition, the Company expects to provide a full valuation allowance on future tax benefits until it can achieve an appropriate level of profitability that demonstrates its ability to utilize existing operating loss carryforwards and future tax deductions for projected pension contributions. 6. GOLDEN STATE In December 2001, Gonzalez, Inc. d/b/a Golden State Transportation ("Golden State") and 22 current and former employees and agents of Golden State were indicted as part of a 42-count federal criminal proceeding. The case, filed before the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, is styled U.S. v. Gonzalez, Inc, et al., Case No. CR 01-1696-TUC-RCC. On September 4, 2002, a superseding indictment was issued in this proceeding adding 32 additional criminal counts against Golden State and certain individual defendants, including two newly indicted defendants. The indictment alleges that the defendants were engaged in a conspiracy, spanning over a two-year period, to transport and harbor illegal aliens within the United States and to launder money. Golden State has pleaded not guilty to the charges and no trial date has been set for this case. Golden State is currently in the process of obtaining and assessing the significant volume of evidence amassed by the Government. At this stage in the proceeding, the probable outcome of this case cannot be predicted. As part of the original indictment, the U.S. Government has sought a forfeiture of substantially all of Golden State's assets and obtained a restraining order restricting access to bank accounts and restraining all vehicles. On July 2, 2002, the restraining order was lifted entirely as to Golden State's bank accounts and future cash receipts. The leased vehicles have also been released from the restraining order. On August 20, 2002, the Government filed an in rem civil forfeiture action against the parcels of real property owned by Golden State. The case, filed before the United States District Court for the District of Arizona, is styled U.S. v. 130 North 35th Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona, et al., Case No. CV 02-409-TUC-RCC. 12 GREYHOUND LINES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 (UNAUDITED) 6. GOLDEN STATE (CONTINUED) Although Golden State continued to operate following the original indictment, the resultant legal costs and a decline in business consumed substantially all available cash. Golden State was in the process of implementing a plan to restructure their operations in a manner that would improve profitability and cash flow. However, the Government's potential forfeiture claims impaired Golden State's ability to raise money utilizing their real property. Faced with funding insurance renewal premiums in advance and a lack of immediate working capital, Golden State ceased operations effective August 30, 2002 and filed a voluntary petition for bankruptcy on September 30, 2002 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Arizona in a case styled In re: Gonzalez, Inc. d/b/a Golden State Transportation, Case No. 02-15508-PHX-GBN. The Company has a 51.4% ownership interest in Golden State and also leased 40 buses to Golden State (the "Lease Buses") and guaranteed third party leases of an additional 27 of Golden State's buses (the "Guarantee Buses"). In addition, the Company has receivables due from Golden State. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002 the Company recorded a $4.0 million charge principally from the write-off of the investment in, and accounts receivable due from, Golden State. As a result of defaults under the bus leases between Golden State and the Company, Golden State has returned the Lease Buses to the Company. Additionally, the Company has taken assignment of the leases for the Guarantee Buses. The Company intends to retain the buses for use in revenue service. Finally, because control of Golden State no longer rests with the Company, Golden State's future results of operations and financial condition is no longer included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS During the quarter ended June 30, 2002 the Company sold buses to Greyhound Canada Transportation Corp. ("GCTC"), an affiliated company owned by Laidlaw, which resulted in a recorded gain of $0.3 million on gross proceeds from the sale of approximately $5.7 million. The Company makes available to Hotard Coaches, Inc. ("Hotard"), an affiliated company engaged in the travel services business in the U.S., a revolving credit line subject to a maximum availability of $3.0 million. Borrowings are available at a rate equal to the prime rate plus 2.5%, and mature the earlier of October 23, 2003 or upon 30 days notice by the Company. The revolving credit line is secured by liens on substantially all of the assets of Hotard. At September 30, 2002, outstanding borrowings were $2.9 million. Included in accounts receivable on the Company's Interim Consolidated Statements of Financial Position at September 30, 2002, are amounts due from GCTC of approximately $1.0 million and $2.9 million due from Hotard for outstanding borrowings under their revolving credit facility with the Company. Additionally, included in accounts payable at September 30, 2002, are amounts due to Laidlaw of approximately $1.7 million. 8. OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Company includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities and changes in minimum pension liabilities as other comprehensive income. For the three months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, comprehensive income (loss) was ($74.2) million and $12.2 million, respectively. Additionally, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, comprehensive income (loss) was ($122.7) million and $5.4 million respectively. The difference between net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss) in 2002 is due primarily to changes in minimum pension liabilities. 13 ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS GENERAL Greyhound is the only nationwide provider of scheduled intercity bus transportation services in the United States. The Company's primary business consists of scheduled passenger service, package express service and food services at certain terminals. The Company's consolidated operations include a nationwide network of terminal and maintenance facilities, a fleet of approximately 2,900 buses and approximately 1,800 sales outlets. The Company's business is seasonal in nature and generally follows the pattern of the travel industry as a whole, with peaks during the summer months and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday periods. As a result, the Company's operating cash flows are also seasonal with a disproportionate amount of the Company's annual operating cash flows being generated during the peak travel periods. The day of the week on which certain holidays occur, the length of certain holiday periods, and the date on which certain holidays occur within the fiscal quarter, may also affect the Company's quarterly results of operations. RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following table sets forth the Company's results of operations as a percentage of total operating revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001:

THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2002 AND 2001 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Operating Revenues. Total operating revenues decreased $9.2 million, down 3.2%, and decreased $30.5 million, down 3.9%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001. Passenger services revenues decreased $9.5 million, down 3.8%, and $32.4 million, down 4.9%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001. Subsequent to the events of September 11, 2001, and continuing through the third quarter of 2002, the Company has experienced significant declines in its short haul markets (450 miles and less), while long haul travel (over 450 miles) has increased. During the third quarter of 2002 that trend was less pronounced as the prior period included a substantial increase in passengers and trip length during the shutdown of the air system following the events of September 11, 2001. As a result of the decline in passengers the Company experienced a 6.9% and 4.4% decline in passenger miles during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. Additionally, the change in passenger mix has resulted in an increase in average trip length of 1.9% and 4.7% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, respectively. Because longer trips produce lower revenue per mile, the change in passenger mix has caused a decline in yield that, during the third quarter was more than offset by price increases resulting in a 3.3% overall increase in yield compared to the same period in 2001. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the effects of increased trip length more than offset price increases, resulting in a decrease in yield of 0.5% compared to the same period in 2001. Package express revenues decreased $0.3 million, down 2.9%, and $1.1 million, down 3.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001. The Company continues to experience reduced standard product deliveries (the traditional, low value, terminal to terminal market segment) which has more than offset growth in the Company's same day delivery product and freight forwarding services. Food services revenues decreased $0.6 million, down 5.2%, and $1.2 million, down 3.5%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001. Food services revenues decreased over the prior year due primarily to the declines in passenger counts, offset somewhat by product price increases. 15 Other operating revenues, consisting primarily of revenue from travel services and in-terminal sales and services, increased $1.3 million, up 7.2%, and $4.2 million, up 7.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001. The increase is principally due to fees collected on internet and will call ticket sales and government provided route subsidies. Operating Expenses. Total operating expenses increased $3.6 million, up 1.4% and decreased $6.7 million, down 0.9%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. Maintenance costs decreased $0.4 million, down 1.4%, and $0.5 million, down 0.6% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001 principally due to the Company operating fewer miles. On a per mile basis, maintenance cost increased 5.0% and 4.0%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, due to a higher average fleet age, fewer buses under warranty and increased material and labor costs due to inflation and wage rate increases. Transportation expenses which consist primarily of fuel costs and driver salaries, decreased $2.0 million, down 3.0%, and $12.4 million, down 6.3%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001, due primarily to fewer miles operated, decreased fuel prices and driver hiring and training costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 the average cost per gallon of fuel was $0.80 and $0.73 per gallon, compared to $0.86 and $0.90 per gallon during the same periods in 2001, resulting in reduced fuel costs of $1.1 million and $7.6 million, respectively. Additionally, driver hiring and training costs were $2.4 million lower during the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as the Company needed to hire fewer drivers due to the reduction in bus miles operated. On a per-mile basis, excluding the effects of fuel price changes and driver hiring costs, transportation expenses increased by 4.7% and 3.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002 principally due to driver wage rate increases. Agents' commissions and station costs decreased $0.4 million, down 0.8%, and $4.4 million, down 3.1%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001. The decrease is primarily due to lower commissions and terminal wages as a result of decreased ticket sales, offset somewhat by substantially increased security costs. Marketing, advertising and traffic expenses decreased $1.3 million, down 15.5%, and $6.0 million, down 22.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001. Since September 11, 2001, leisure or discretionary travel in non-peak periods has been soft. As a result management viewed the opportunity to stimulate discretionary travel during the traditionally slow winter travel period as being low, and substantially reduced advertising spending during the first quarter of 2002. However, to support the heavy summer travel period, the Company increased spending in the second and third quarter of 2002 (albeit still at lower levels than the prior period). Insurance and safety costs increased $6.0 million, up 34.4%, and $15.7 million, up 35.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001. The increase is primarily due to the change in estimate described below, an increase in the cost of excess insurance coverage and a growth in the average cost per claim due principally to medical cost inflation. The Company's parent, Laidlaw Inc. ("Laidlaw"), recently requested that the Company maintain its insurance reserves at the lesser of the actuarial midpoint plus 10% or the actuarial maximum. Previously the Company recorded insurance reserves at the actuarial mid-point. As a result, insurance expense for the three months ended September 30, 2002 includes a $3.1 million charge for this change in estimate. General and administrative expenses decreased $1.6 million, down 5.0%, and $7.2 million, down 7.1%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001. During the three months ended September 30, 2002, the decrease is attributable to lower incentive plan costs ($1.1 million) due to the decline in financial performance, a decrease in management fees ($0.9 million) charged by Laidlaw and reduced travel and other employee related costs due to lower business volume, offset somewhat by higher health and welfare costs ($1.4 million) due principally to medical cost inflation. During the nine months ended September 30, 2002, the decrease is due to lower incentive plan costs ($6.2 million), a decrease in management fees ($2.6 million) and reduced travel and other employee related costs due to lower business volume, offset somewhat by higher health and welfare costs ($2.9 million). 16 Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.5 million, up 3.9%, and $2.1 million, up 5.9%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001. The increases are primarily due to inflationary increases in the cost of recent capital expenditures for buses, structures and capitalized software which, due to the long-lived nature of the Company's assets, significantly exceeds the historical cost basis of asset disposals, partially offset by a decrease in goodwill and trademark amortization. Operating taxes and licenses expense were essentially flat for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 and decreased $1.1 million, down 2.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. The decrease is due principally to lower payroll and fuel taxes resulting from the lower business volume and miles operated. Operating rents were essentially flat for the three months ended September 30, 2002 compared to the same period in 2001 and increased $6.6 million, up 12.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same period in 2001. The increase is due to the settlement of the New York Port Authority license agreement in June 2001 that resulted in a reduction to operating rents of approximately $7.5 million in the second quarter of 2001. Food services cost of goods sold decreased $0.3 million, down 3.9%, and $1.2 million, down 5.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001. This is primarily due to the decrease in food services revenues related to decreased passenger counts. Other operating expenses increased $3.1 million, up 248.0%, and $1.8 million, up 44.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001. The increase is principally due to $4.0 million charge related to the Company's investment in and accounts receivable due from Golden State offset by losses on disposals of property, plant and equipment in 2001 compared to gains recorded in 2002. Interest expense decreased $0.9 million, down 12.7%, and $2.3 million, down 10.7%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to the same periods in 2001, due to a decrease in the average debt outstanding and a decrease in interest rates. Income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, includes a $61.7 million charge related to the establishment of a full valuation allowance on the Company's remaining net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2002. See Note 5 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. Minority interests for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, reflects the minority partners share of current year losses in the Company's hispanic joint ventures, particularly Golden State. The joint ventures produced income in the prior year periods. During 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 "Accounting for Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" and, as a result, recorded a non-cash charge of $40.0 million as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. See Note 2 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Company's principal near-term liquidity requirements are to provide working capital, to finance capital expenditures, including bus acquisitions and to meet debt service requirements, including the payment of interest on the 11 1/2% Senior Notes. The Company's principal sources of liquidity are expected to be cash flow from operations and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company believes that its cash flow from operations, together with borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, will fund its working capital and near-term capital expenditure needs. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility of $3.2 million, issued letters of credit of $41.8 million and availability of $80.0 million. 17 Under the Revolving Credit Facility the Company is required to meet certain financial covenants, including a minimum consolidated cash flow to interest expense ratio, a maximum indebtedness to cash flow ratio and a minimum level of consolidated net worth. At September 30, 2002, the Company was in compliance with all such covenants. Based upon the Company's annual operating budget (which extends through August 31, 2003), and after taking into account the effect of the amendments discussed in Note 3 to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, management anticipates remaining in compliance with these covenants, although only by a small margin during the first and second quarter of 2003. Management is closely monitoring this situation and intends on requesting further amendments should it appear likely they will be necessary to remain in compliance with the covenants. Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $76.6 million, an increase of $11.0 million compared to $65.6 million during the same period of 2001. The principal reason for the increase is an increase in claims liabilities under the Company's self-insurance program offset somewhat by lower levels of profitability during the current year. Net cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $26.8 million compared to $47.7 million during the same period in 2001. The $20.8 million change is principally due to a significant decrease in capital expenditures due to lower business volumes compared to the same period in 2001. Net cash used for financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 was $60.5 million as compared to $16.5 million during the same period in 2001. The $44.0 million difference is principally due to the pay down of the Revolving Credit Facility from the increased operating cash flow and reduction of cash balances. POTENTIAL PENSION PLAN FUNDING REQUIREMENTS The Company maintains nine defined benefit pension plans, the most significant of which (the "ATU Plan") covers approximately 14,000 current and former employees, fewer than 1,000 of which are active employees of the Company. The ATU Plan was closed to new participants in 1983 and over 85% of its participants are over the age of 50. For financial reporting and investment planning purposes the Company currently uses an actuarial mortality table that closely matches the actual experience related to the existing participant population. For funding purposes, legislation passed by the United States Congress mandates the use of a prescribed actuarial mortality table and discount rates that differ from those used by the Company for financial reporting and investment planning purposes. Based upon plan asset values at September 30, 2002, and assumed annual investment returns, application of the actuarial mortality table and discount rates as prescribed by current regulations, and further assuming a continuation of the freeze of wage and service accruals, estimated Company contributions over the next five years to the ATU Plan, which represents approximately 89% of total plan obligations, is as follows (in millions):
ESTIMATED CONTRIBUTIONS FOR THE ATU PLAN ---------------------------------------------------------------- 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 ------- ------- ------- -------- -------- 5.0% Investment Return $ -- $ 24.0 $ 86.6 $ 46.4 $ 48.0 7.5% Investment Return -- 24.0 77.6 42.7 42.5 10.0% Investment Return -- 24.0 68.6 39.3 36.7
However, there is no assurance that the ATU Plan will be able to earn the assumed rate of return, that new regulations may result in changes in the prescribed actuarial mortality table and discount rates, or that there will be market driven changes in the discount rates, which would result in the Company being required to make contributions in the future that differ significantly from the estimates above. 18 RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS INCLUDED IN THIS FORM 10-Q Statements in this Form 10-Q that are not purely historical facts, including statements regarding our beliefs, expectations, intentions, projections or strategies for the future, may be "forward-looking statements" under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
