SEACOR HOLDINGS INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICY

The condensed consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 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 fairly present the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2012, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, its comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, its changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. 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 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, 2011.

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

Discontinued Operations. The Company's Environmental Services business segment was conducted through SEACOR Environmental Services Inc. ("SES") and O'Brien's Response Management Inc. ("ORM"). SES included National Response Corporation, one of the largest providers of oil spill response services in the United States; NRC Environmental Services Inc., a leading provider of environmental and industrial services on the West Coast of the United States; SEACOR Response Ltd., which provides oil spill response and emergency response services to customers in international markets; and certain other subsidiaries (collectively the "SES Business"). On March 16, 2012, the Company sold the SES Business for a net sales price of $99.9 million and recognized a gain of $20.8 million, net of tax, or $1.00 per diluted share. The transaction did not include ORM, a leading provider of crisis and emergency preparedness and response services. The Company has no continuing involvement in the SES Business, although the sales agreement provides that the Company may receive contingent consideration equal to a portion of the revenue generated by any extraordinary oil spill response that occurs within three years following the date of sale. For all periods presented, the Company has reported the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the SES Business as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The remaining ORM business in the segment was renamed Emergency and Crisis Services.

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue that does not meet these criteria is deferred until the criteria are met. Deferred revenues, included in other current liabilities, for the six months ended June 30 were as follows (in thousands):

	2012			2011
Balance at beginning of period	$	9,968		$	21,045
Revenues deferred during the period	13,550			3,978
Revenues recognized during the period	(7,697		)	(8,334		)
Balance at end of period	$	15,821		$	16,689

As of June 30, 2012, deferred revenues included $6.4 million relating to the time charter of several offshore support vessels operating in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico that are scheduled to be paid through the conveyance of a limited net profit interest in developmental oil and gas producing properties owned by a customer. Payments from the conveyance of the limited net profit interest, and the timing of such payments, are contingent upon production and energy sale prices. Based on the current production payout estimate, the deferred revenues are expected to be paid in 2012. The Company will continue to recognize revenues as cash is received or earlier should future payments become determinable. All costs and expenses related to these charters were recognized as incurred.

6

As of June 30, 2012, deferred revenues included $7.3 million related to contract-lease revenues for certain helicopters leased by Aviation Services to Aeroleo Taxi Aero S/A ("Aeroleo"), its Brazilian joint venture (see Note 6). The deferral resulted from difficulties experienced by Aeroleo following one of its customer's cancellation of certain contracts for a number of AW139 aircraft under contract-lease from Aviation Services. The Company will recognize revenues as cash is received or earlier should future collectability become reasonably assured. All costs and expenses related to these contract-leases were recognized as incurred.

As of June 30, 2012, deferred revenues also included $2.0 million related to contract-lease revenues for certain helicopters leased by Aviation Services to one of its customers. The deferral resulted from the customer having its operating certificate revoked for a period of time and therefore being unable to operate. The certificate has since been reinstated but uncertainty still remains regarding the collectability of the contract-lease revenues. The Company will recognize revenues as cash is received or earlier should future collectability become reasonably assured. All costs and expenses related to these contract-leases were recognized as incurred.

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications of prior period information have been made to conform to the presentation of the current period information. These reclassifications had no effect on net income as previously reported.

2. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of an asset or liability 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. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes 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 value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2012 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

Marketable security gains (losses), net include unrealized gains of $2.6 million and losses of $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to marketable security positions held by the Company as of June 30, 2012.

Long-term debt, including current portion	965,456		—		992,255		—

The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated based upon quoted market prices or by using discounted cash flow analyses based on estimated current rates for similar types of arrangements. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company’s investments, at cost, in 50% or less owned companies because of the lack of quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company’s notes receivable from other business ventures as the overall returns are uncertain due to certain provisions for additional payments contingent upon future events. Considerable judgment was required in developing certain of the estimates of fair value and, accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

The Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

(1) During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company marked its equity investment in its Illinois Corn Processing LLC ("ICP") joint venture to fair value following the acquisition of a controlling interest (see Note 6). The investment's fair value was determined based on a fair value analysis of the assets and liabilities of ICP.

Cash Flow Hedges. As of June 30, 2012, the Company is a party to various interest rate swap agreements, with maturities ranging from 2013 through 2014, which have been designated as cash flow hedges. These agreements call for the Company to pay fixed interest rates ranging from 2.25% to 2.85% on aggregate notional values of $125.0 million and receive a variable interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) on these notional values. As of June 30, 2012, one of the Company’s Offshore Marine Services 50% or less owned companies had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2015 that has been designated as a cash flow hedge. This instrument calls for the joint venture to pay a fixed interest rate of 1.48% on the amortized notional value of $18.9 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value. In addition, as of June 30, 2012, one of the Company’s Inland River Services 50% or less owned companies had four interest rate swap agreements with maturities ranging from 2013 through 2015 that have been designated as cash flow hedges. These instruments call for the joint venture to pay fixed rates of interest ranging from 1.53% to 4.16% on the aggregate amortized notional value of $46.6 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the aggregate amortized notional value. By entering into these interest rate swap agreements, the Company and its joint ventures have converted the variable LIBOR component of certain of their outstanding borrowings to a fixed interest rate.

The Company holds positions in publicly traded equity options that convey the right or obligation to engage in a future transaction on the underlying equity security or index. The Company’s investment in equity options primarily includes positions in energy, marine, transportation and other related businesses. These contracts are typically entered into to mitigate the risk of changes in the market value of marketable security positions that the Company is either about to acquire, has acquired or is about to dispose of.

The Company enters and settles forward currency exchange, option and future contracts with respect to various foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2012, the outstanding forward currency exchange contracts translated into a net purchase of foreign currencies with an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent of $18.6 million. These contracts enable the Company to buy currencies in the future at fixed exchange rates, which could offset possible consequences of changes in currency exchange rates with respect to the Company’s business conducted outside of the United States. The Company generally does not enter into contracts with forward settlement dates beyond twelve to eighteen months.

The Company has entered into various interest rate swap agreements with maturities ranging from 2012 through 2015 that call for the Company to pay fixed interest rates ranging from 1.67% to 2.59% on aggregate amortized notional values of $93.1 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on these notional values. In addition, one of the Company’s Offshore Marine Services 50% or less owned companies has entered into an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2014 that calls for the joint venture to pay a fixed interest rate of 3.05% on the amortized notional value of $24.8 million million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value. The general purpose of these interest rate swap agreements is to provide protection against increases in interest rates, which might lead to higher interest costs for the Company or its joint venture.

The Company enters and settles positions in various exchange and non-exchange traded commodity swap, option and future contracts. In the Company’s commodity trading and logistics business, fixed price future purchase and sale contracts for ethanol and sugar are included in the Company’s non-exchange traded derivative positions. The Company enters into exchange traded positions to protect these purchase and sale contracts as well as its inventory balances from market changes. As of June 30, 2012, the net market exposure to ethanol and sugar under these contracts was not material. The Company also enters into exchange traded positions (primarily natural gas, heating oil, crude oil, gasoline, ethanol and sugar) to provide value to the Company should there be a sustained decline in the price of commodities that could lead to a reduction in the market values and cash flows of the Company’s Offshore Marine Services and Inland River Services businesses. As of June 30, 2012, these positions were not material.

The Company enters and settles various positions in U.S. Treasury notes and bonds through rate locks, futures or options on futures tied to U.S. Treasury notes. The general purpose of these transactions is to provide value to the Company should the price of U.S. Treasury notes and bonds decline, leading to generally higher interest rates, which might lead to higher interest costs for the Company. As of June 30, 2012, there were none of these types of positions outstanding.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company sold four offshore support vessels, six helicopters, one inland river towboat, two harbor tugs and other equipment for net proceeds of $65.6 million ($11.7 million in cash, $5.0 million in cash deposits previously received and $48.9 million in seller financing) and gains of $14.8 million, of which $7.5 million were recognized currently and $7.3 million were deferred. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $2.5 million and received $0.2 million in deposits related to future expected sales. Two of the offshore support vessels sold were to the Company's Mexican joint venture for $48.5 million (see Note 6).

Balance at end of period	$	114,869		$	122,778

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 that 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 June 30, 2012, the estimated useful life (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new equipment was as follows:

Offshore support vessels	20
Wind farm utility vessels	10
Helicopters(1)	15
Inland river dry cargo and deck barges	20
Inland river liquid tank barges	25
Inland river towboats	25
U.S.-flag tankers	25
RORO vessels	20
Harbor and offshore tugs	25
Ocean liquid tank barges	25

______________________ 

(1) Effective July 1, 2011, the Company changed its estimated useful life and salvage value for helicopters from 12 to 15 years and 30% to 40%, respectively, due to improvements in new aircraft models that continue to increase their long-term value and make them viable for operation over a longer period of time. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the change in estimate increased operating income by $4.4 million, net income by $2.9 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.14. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the change in estimate increased operating income by $8.4 million, net income by $5.4 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.26.

The Company performs an impairment analysis of long-lived assets used in operations, including intangible assets, when indicators of impairment are present. If the carrying value of the assets is not recoverable, as determined by the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of the assets is reduced to fair value. Generally, fair value is determined using valuation techniques, such as expected discounted cash flows or appraisals, as appropriate. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, impairment charges recognized by the Company related to long-lived assets held for use were not material.

6. INVESTMENTS, AT EQUITY, AND ADVANCES TO 50% OR LESS OWNED COMPANIES

On June 12, 2009, a purported civil class action was filed against the Company, Era Group Inc., Era Helicopters LLC and three other defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, Superior Offshore International, Inc. v. Bristow Group Inc., et al., No. 09-CV-438 (D. Del.).  The Complaint alleged that the Defendants violated federal antitrust law by conspiring with each other to raise, fix, maintain or stabilize prices for offshore helicopter services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico during the period January 2001 to December 2005.  The purported class of plaintiffs included all direct purchasers of such services and the relief sought included compensatory damages and treble damages.  On September 4, 2009, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint.  On September 14, 2010, the Court entered an order dismissing the Complaint.  On September 28, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration and amendment and a motion for re-argument (the “Motions”).  On November 30, 2010, the Court granted the Motions, amended the Court's September 14, 2010 Order to clarify that the dismissal was without prejudice, permitted the filing of an amended Complaint, and authorized limited discovery with respect to the new allegations in the amended Complaint.  Following the completion of such limited discovery, on February 11, 2011, the Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the amended Complaint with prejudice.  On June 23, 2011, the District Court granted summary judgment for the Defendants.  On July 22, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.  On July 27, 2002, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendants. On August 9, 2011, Defendants moved for certain excessive costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees under 28 U.S.C. § 1927. That motion is fully briefed and a decision is pending.

On July 14, 2010, a group of individuals and entities purporting to represent a class commenced a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, Terry G. Robin, et al. v. Seacor Marine, L.L.C., et al., No. 2:10-cv-01986 (E.D. La.) (the “Robin Case”), in which they assert that support vessels, including vessels owned by the Company, responding to the explosion and resulting fire that occurred aboard the semi-submersible drilling rig, the Deepwater Horizon, were negligent in their efforts to save lives and put out the fire and contributed to the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon and subsequent oil spill. The action now is part of the overall multi-district litigation, In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon”, MDL No. 2179 (“MDL”). The complaint seeks compensatory, punitive, exemplary, and other damages.  In response to this lawsuit, the Company filed petitions seeking exoneration from, or limitation of liability in relation to, any actions that may have been taken by vessels owned by the Company to extinguish the fire.  Pursuant to the Limitation of Liability Act, those petitions imposed an automatic stay on the Robin Case, and the court set a deadline of April 20, 2011 for individual claimants to assert claims in the limitation cases.  Approximately 66 claims were submitted by the deadline in all of the limitation actions.  On June 8, 2011, the Company moved to dismiss these claims (with the exception of one claim filed by a Company employee) on various legal grounds.  On October 12, 2011, the Court granted the Company's motion to dismiss in its entirety, dismissing with prejudice all claims that had been filed against the Company in the limitation actions (with the exception of one claim filed by a Company employee that was not subject to the motion to dismiss).  The Court entered final judgments in favor of the Company in the Robin Case and each of the limitation actions on November 21, 2011.  On December 12, 2011, the claimants appealed each of those judgments to the Unites States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  The claimants' opening brief was submitted on May 7, 2012, and the claimants filed a reply brief on June 1, 2012.  The appeal is now fully submitted but no date has been set for oral argument, if any. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from this matter but believes it is without merit and will continue to vigorously defend the action.

On July 20, 2010, two individuals purporting to represent a class commenced a civil action in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans in the State of Louisiana, John Wunstell, Jr. and Kelly Blanchard v. BP, et al., No. 2010-7437 (Division K) (the “Wunstell Action”), in which they assert, among other theories, that Mr. Wunstell suffered injuries as a result of his exposure to certain noxious fumes and chemicals in connection with the provision of remediation, containment and response services by ORM. The action now is part of the overall MDL. The complaint also seeks to establish a “class-wide court-supervised medical monitoring program” for all individuals “participating in BP's Deepwater Horizon Vessels of Opportunity Program and/or Horizon Response Program” who allegedly experienced injuries similar to those of Mr. Wunstell. The Company believes this lawsuit has no merit and will continue to vigorously defend the action.  Pursuant to contractual agreements with the responsible party, the responsible party has agreed, subject to certain potential limitations, to indemnify and defend ORM in connection with the Wunstell Action and claims asserted in the MDL.

On December 15, 2010, ORM and then-SEACOR subsidiary National Response Corporation (“NRC”) were named as defendants in one of the several consolidated “master complaints” that have been filed in the overall MDL.  The master complaint naming ORM and NRC asserts various claims on behalf of a putative class against multiple defendants concerning the clean-up activities generally, and the use of dispersants specifically.  By court order, the Wunstell Action has been stayed as a result of the filing of the referenced master complaint.  The Company believes that the claims asserted against ORM and NRC in the master complaint have no merit and on February 28, 2011, ORM and NRC moved to dismiss all claims against them in the master complaint on legal grounds.  On September 30, 2011, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss that ORM and NRC had filed (an amended decision was issued on October 4, 2011 that corrected several grammatical errors and non-substantive oversights in the original order).  Although the Court refused to dismiss the referenced master complaint in its entirety at that time, the Court did recognize the validity of the “derivative immunity” and “implied preemption” arguments that ORM and NRC advanced and has directed ORM and NRC to (i) conduct limited discovery to develop evidence to support those arguments and (ii) then re-assert the arguments.  The Court did, however, dismiss all state-law claims and certain other claims that had been asserted in the referenced master complaint, and dismissed the claims of all plaintiffs that have failed to allege a legally-sufficient injury.  A schedule for limited discovery and motion practice was established by the Court and, in accordance with that schedule, ORM and NRC filed for summary judgment re-asserting their derivative immunity and implied preemption arguments on May 18, 2012.  Those motions were argued on July 13, 2012 and the Court has taken them under advisement.  In addition to the indemnity provided to ORM, pursuant to contractual agreements with the responsible party, the responsible party has agreed, subject to certain potential limitations, to indemnify and defend ORM and NRC in connection with these claims in the MDL. 

Subsequent to the filing of the referenced master complaint, four additional individual civil actions have been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana concerning the clean-up activities generally, which name the Company, ORM and/or NRC as defendants and are part of the overall MDL. On April 8, 2011, ORM was named as a defendant in Johnson Bros. Corporation of Louisiana v. BP, PLC, et al., No. 2:11-cv-00781 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by an individual business seeking damages allegedly caused by a delay on a construction project alleged to have resulted from the clean-up operations. On April 15, 2011, ORM and NRC were named as defendants in James and Krista Pearson v. BP Exploration & Production, Inc., et al., No. 2:11-cv-00863 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by a husband and wife, who allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and are seeking damages for personal injury, property damage to their boat, and amounts allegedly due under contract. On April 15, 2011, ORM and NRC were named as defendants in Thomas Edward Black v. BP Exploration & Production, Inc., et al., No. 2:11-cv-00867 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by an individual who is seeking damages for lost income because he allegedly could not find work in the fishing industry after the oil spill. On April 20, 2011, a complaint was filed in Darnell Alexander, et al. v. BP, PLC, et al., No. 2:11-cv-00951 (E.D. La.) on behalf of 117 individual plaintiffs that seek to adopt the allegations made in the referenced master complaint against ORM and NRC (and the other defendants). By court order, all four of these additional individual cases have been stayed as a result of the filing of the referenced master complaint.  The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from this matter but believes it is without merit and does not expect this matter will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

On February 18, 2011, Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, Transocean Holdings LLC, Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc., and Transocean Deepwater Inc. (collectively “Transocean”) named ORM and NRC as third-party defendants in a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint in Transocean's own Limitation of Liability Act action, which is part of the overall MDL, tendering to ORM and NRC the claims in the referenced master complaint that have already been asserted against ORM and NRC. Transocean, Cameron International Corporation, Halliburton Energy Services, Inc., M-I L.L.C., Weatherford U.S., L.P., and Weatherford International, Inc. have also filed cross-claims against ORM and NRC for contribution and tort indemnity should they be found liable for any damages in Transocean's Limitation of Liability Act action and ORM and NRC have asserted counterclaims against those same parties for identical relief.  As provided above, the Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these actions but believes they are without merit and does not expect this matter will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

Separately, on March 2, 2012, the Court announced that BP Exploration & Production Inc. and BP America Production Company (collectively "BP") and the plaintiffs had reached an agreement on the terms of two proposed class action settlements that will resolve, among other things, plaintiffs' economic loss claims and clean-up related claims against BP.  The parties filed their proposed settlement agreements on April 18, 2012 along with motions seeking preliminary approval of the settlements. The Court held a hearing on April 25, 2012 to consider those motions and preliminarily approved both settlements on May 2, 2012.  Although neither the Company, ORM or NRC are parties to the settlement agreements, the Company, ORM and NRC are listed on the releases accompanying both settlement agreements, such that if the settlement agreements are finally approved by the Court as currently drafted, any plaintiffs that settle will be required to release their claims against the Company, ORM and NRC.  The opt-out period for the proposed settlement closes on October 1, 2012 and a final fairness hearing to consider whether the settlements should be finally approved is scheduled for November 8, 2012.

In the course of the Company's business, it may agree to indemnify a party.  If the indemnified party makes a successful claim for indemnification, the Company would be required to reimburse that party in accordance with the terms of the indemnification agreement.  Indemnification agreements generally are subject to threshold amounts, specified claim periods and other restrictions and limitations. 

In connection with the disposition of the SES Business on March 16, 2012, the Company remains contingently liable for certain obligations of the SES Business, including potential liabilities relating to work performed in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response.  These potential liabilities may not exceed the purchase consideration received by the Company for the SES Business and the Company currently is indemnified under contractual agreements with BP.

ORM, a subsidiary of the Company, is defending against five collective action lawsuits, each asserting failure to pay overtime with respect to individuals who provided service on the Deepwater Horizon spill response (the “DPH FLSA Actions”) under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”).  Four of the cases - Dennis Prejean v. O'Brien's Response Management, Inc. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01045) (the “Prejean Action”); Baylor Singleton et. al. v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc., et. al. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01716) (the “Singleton Action”); Himmerite et al. v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc. et al. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01533) (the “Himmerite Action”); and Chann Chavis v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc. et al. (S.D. Tx., Case No.: 4:12-cv-02045) (the “Chavis Action”) - were each brought on behalf of certain individuals who worked on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and who were classified as independent contractors.  The Prejean, Himmerite and Singleton Actions were each filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and then subsequently consolidated with the In re: Oil Spill Multidistrict Litigation (N.D. La., Case No. 10-md-02179) (the “Oil Spill MDL”).  The Himmerite and Singleton Actions have since been automatically stayed pending further scheduling by the Court, pursuant to the procedures in the Oil Spill MDL.  In the Prejean Action, ORM has answered the complaint, a scheduling order has been issued and Plaintiffs have, among other things, filed a Motion for Conditional Certification, which has been stayed pending further scheduling by the Court in accordance with the procedures of the Oil Spill MDL.  The Chavis Action was filed on July 7, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, and ORM has not yet responded to or answered the complaint in that matter.  The other DPH FLSA Action, Mark Blackman et. al. v. Midwest Environmental Resources, Inc., et. al. (N.D. Fla., Case No.: 3:11-cv-146) (the “Blackman Action”), was filed by five individual Plaintiffs on March 28, 2011, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida, against ORM and several other Defendants.  The complaint in the Blackman Action alleges that the named Plaintiffs and class of workers they are suing on behalf of, identified in the complaint as “Safety Techs,” were not appropriately compensated for all of their work time in violation of the FLSA.  On July 8, 2011, the Court stayed all proceedings in the Blackman Action.  On May 8, 2012, the Court ruled on various motions to dismiss brought by ORM and by the other Defendants, denying them in part, granting them in part, and providing the Plaintiffs with leave to amend the complaint.  On June 6, 2012, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and on June 20, 2012, Defendant ORM answered the amended complaint, denying all of the Plaintiffs' claims.  On July 6, 2012, the Court issued a scheduling order setting discovery and dispositive motion deadlines.  The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from any of the five DPH FLSA Actions, but believes they are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend against them.

In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. 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 would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

In 2011, the Company received a Notice of Infringement (the “Notice”) from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Office. The Notice alleged the Company had imported a number of vessels into Brazil without properly completing the required importation documents and levied an assessment of $25.7 million. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position that the proposed assessment is erroneous and believes the resolution of this matter will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or its results of operations. Of the levied assessment, $19.3 million relates to managed vessels whose owner would be responsible to reimburse any potential payment.

8. MULTI-EMPLOYER PENSION PLANS

There has been no material change in the multi-employer pension plans in which the Company participates, except that the Company received notification from the American Maritime Officers Pension Plan (the "AMOPP”) that, based on an actuarial valuation performed as of September 30, 2011, if the Company chose to withdraw from the AMOPP, its withdrawal liability would have been $39.3 million. That liability may change in future years based on various factors, primarily employee census. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has no intention to withdraw from the AMOPP and no deficit amounts have been invoiced. Depending upon the results of the future actuarial valuations and the ten-year rehabilitation plan, it is possible that the AMOPP will experience

16

further funding deficits, requiring the Company to recognize additional payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received or contribution levels are increased.

9. LONG-TERM DEBT AND CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $125.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the SEACOR revolving credit facility. The remaining availability under this facility was $279.0 million, net of issued letters of credit of $1.0 million. As of June 30, 2012, Era Group Inc. ("Era") had $260.0 million of outstanding borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facilities. The remaining availability under this facility was $89.7 million, net of issued letters of credit of $0.3 million. In addition, as of June 30, 2012, the Company had other outstanding letters of credit totaling $47.6 million with various expiration dates through 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company made scheduled payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $7.2 million, repaid $3.2 million of acquired debt, received proceeds of $0.1 million from other debt, made repayments of $50.0 million of borrowings under the SEACOR revolving credit facility, made net repayments on inventory financing arrangements of $14.8 million and had net borrowings of $8.0 million under the Era senior secured revolving credit facility.

SEACOR’s Board of Directors has previously authorized the Company to purchase any or all of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 and its 7.375% Senior Notes due 2019, which may be acquired through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company purchased $5.5 million, in principal amount, of its 5.875% Senior Notes for $5.7 million, resulting in a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.2 million.

10. STOCK REPURCHASES

SEACOR’s Board of Directors previously approved a securities repurchase plan that authorizes the Company to acquire shares of SEACOR common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), which may be acquired through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company acquired for treasury 199,766 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $17.4 million. As of June 30, 2012, the remaining authority under the repurchase plan was $132.6 million.

11. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE OF SEACOR

Basic earnings per common share of SEACOR are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the relevant periods. Diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive securities through the application of the treasury stock method. Dilutive securities for this purpose assumes restricted stock grants have vested and common shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock options. For the three and the six months ended June 30, 2012, diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR excluded 593,344 and 531,101 , respectively, of certain share awards as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR excluded 333,819 and 254,230, respectively, of certain share awards as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive.

A reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted average outstanding common shares of SEACOR was as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2012	2011	2012	2011
Basic Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding	20,584,567	21,166,037	20,552,114	21,135,557
Effect of Dilutive Share Awards:
Options and Restricted Stock	286,813	351,688	331,456	343,202
Diluted Weighted Average Common Shares Outstanding	20,871,380	21,517,725	20,883,570	21,478,759

13. 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. An operating business segment has 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. Certain reclassifications of prior year information have been made to conform to the current year's reportable segment presentation as a result of the Company's presentation of discontinued operations (see Note 1). The Company’s basis of measurement of segment profit or loss is as previously described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

This Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements concerning management’s expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated economic performance and financial condition and other similar matters involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements discussed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other important factors include, among others: decreased demand and loss of revenues as a result of U.S. government implemented moratoriums directing operators to cease certain drilling activities and any extension of such moratoriums (the “Moratoriums”), weakening demand for the Company’s services as a result of unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters and aviation equipment or failures to finalize commitments to charter vessels and aviation equipment in response to Moratoriums, increased government legislation and regulation of the Company’s businesses which could increase cost of operations, increased competition if the Jones Act is repealed, liability, legal fees and costs in connection with providing emergency response services, including the Company’s involvement in response to the oil spill that resulted from the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon in April 2010, decreased demand for the Company’s services as a result of declines in the global economy, declines in valuations in the global financial markets and a lack of liquidity in the credit sectors, including, interest rate fluctuations, availability of credit, inflation rates, change in laws, trade barriers, commodity prices and currency exchange fluctuations, the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, activity in foreign countries and changes in foreign political, military and economic conditions, changes in foreign and domestic oil and gas exploration and production activity, safety record requirements related to Offshore Marine Services, Marine Transportation Services and Aviation Services, decreased demand for Marine Transportation Services and Harbor and Offshore Towing Services due to construction of additional refined petroleum products, natural gas or crude oil pipelines or due to decreased demand for refined petroleum products, crude oil or chemical products or a change in existing methods of delivery, compliance with U.S. and foreign government laws and regulations, including environmental laws and regulations, the dependence of Offshore Marine Services, Marine Transportation Services and Aviation Services on several customers, consolidation of the Company’s customer base, safety issues experienced by a particular helicopter model that could result in customers refusing to use that helicopter model or a regulatory body grounding that helicopter model, which could also permanently devalue that helicopter model, the ongoing need to replace aging vessels and aircraft, industry fleet capacity, restrictions imposed by the Shipping Acts and Aviation Acts on the amount of foreign ownership of the Company’s Common Stock, operational risks of Offshore Marine Services, Marine Transportation Services, Harbor and Offshore Towing Services and Aviation Services, effects of adverse weather conditions and seasonality, dependence of emergency response revenue on the number and size of events and upon continuing government regulation in this area and Emergency and Crisis Services’ ability to comply with such regulation and other governmental regulation, liability in connection with providing emergency response services, the level of grain export volume, the effect of fuel prices on barge towing costs, variability in freight rates for inland river barges, the effect of international economic and political factors in Inland River Services’ operations, adequacy of insurance coverage, the attraction and retention of qualified personnel by the Company and various other matters and factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. 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 are incorporated by reference.

Overview

The Company’s operations are divided into six main business segments – Offshore Marine Services, Aviation Services, Inland River Services, Marine Transportation Services, Emergency and Crisis Services and Commodity Trading and Logistics. The Company also has activities that are referred to and described under Other that primarily includes Harbor and Offshore Towing Services, various other investments in joint ventures and lending and leasing activities.

Discontinued Operations. The Company's Environmental Services business segment was conducted through SEACOR Environmental Services Inc. ("SES") and O'Brien's Response Management Inc. ("ORM"). SES included National Response Corporation, one of the largest providers of oil spill response services in the United States; NRC Environmental Services Inc., a leading provider of environmental and industrial services on the West Coast of the United States; SEACOR Response Ltd., which provides oil spill response and emergency response services to customers in international markets; and certain other subsidiaries (collectively the "SES Business"). On March 16, 2012, the Company sold the SES Business for a net sales price of $99.9 million and recognized a gain of $20.8 million, net of tax, or $1.00 per diluted share. The transaction did not include ORM, a leading provider of crisis and emergency preparedness and response services. The Company has no continuing involvement in the SES Business, although the sales agreement provides that the Company may receive contingent consideration equal to a portion of the revenue generated by any extraordinary oil spill response that occurs within three years following the date of sale. For all periods presented, the Company has reported the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the SES Business as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The remaining ORM business in the segment was renamed Emergency and Crisis Services.

Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues were $29.9 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Current Year Quarter results included the contributions of the Company's wind farm utility vessels and liftboats that were acquired on December 22, 2011 and March 30, 2012, respectively. The wind farm utility vessels contributed $7.1 million of time charter revenues with an average day rate of $2,802 per day and a utilization rate of 93%. The liftboats contributed $21.9 million of operating revenues of which $20.1 million was time charter revenue with an average day rate of $17,454 per day and a utilization rate of 70%.

Excluding the contributions of the wind farm utility vessels and the liftboats, time charter revenues were $2.0 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Overall fleet utilization was 79% compared with 71% in the Prior Year Quarter and average rates were $11,272 per day compared with $11,142 per day in the Prior Year Quarter. The number of days available for charter was 9,937 compared with 10,937 in the Prior Year Quarter, a 1,000 day or 9% reduction.

In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, time charter revenues were $20.3 million higher primarily due to the liftboat acquisition. Excluding the contribution of the liftboats, time charter revenues were $0.2 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. The reactivation of previously cold-stacked vessels and other improvements in utilization increased time charter revenues by $0.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively. Net fleet additions increased time charter revenues by $1.8 million. Lower average day rates and the repositioning of vessels between geographic regions reduced time charter revenues by $5.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had no vessels cold-stacked in this region compared with seven as of June 30, 2011.

In Africa, time charter revenues were $3.4 million higher. Time charter revenues were $2.7 million higher due to improved utilization, $0.4 million higher due to improved average day rates and $0.9 million higher due to the repositioning of vessels between geographic regions. These increases were partially offset by a $0.6 million reduction in time charter revenues due to fleet dispositions.

In the Middle East, time charter revenues were $2.2 million higher, of which $0.9 million was due to improved utilization and $0.2 million was due to higher average day rates. Net fleet additions and the repositioning of vessels between geographic regions increased time charter revenues by $1.1 million.

In Brazil, Mexico and Central and South America, time charter revenues were $3.1 million lower. Time charter revenues were $3.8 million lower due to reduced fleet utilization and were $0.1 million lower due to net fleet dispositions and the repositioning of vessels between geographic regions. Higher average day rates increased time charter revenues by $0.8 million.

In Europe, excluding the $7.1 million contribution of the wind farm utility vessels, time charter revenues were $0.1 million lower. Higher average day rates and improved utilization increased time charter revenues by $1.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Time charter revenues were $1.0 million lower due to vessel dispositions and $0.5 million lower due to unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $25.8 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter, of which $17.9 million was attributable to fleet additions including the wind farm utility vessels and liftboats. Excluding the impact of fleet additions, operating expenses were higher during the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter as follows: personnel costs were $4.0 million higher primarily due to the return to service of previously cold-stacked vessels, increased activity levels, and inflationary pressures on rates of pay; drydocking expenses were $2.5 million higher due to increased drydocking activity during the Current Year Quarter in which there were 567 days of downtime attributable to drydocking compared with 287 days in the Prior Year Quarter; and leased-in equipment expense was $1.4 million higher primarily due to the charter-in of several vessels into Africa and Brazil, Mexico, Central and South America.

Gains on Asset Dispositions. During the Current Year Quarter, the Company sold three offshore support vessels and other equipment for net proceeds of $48.7 million and gains of $7.4 million, of which $0.1 million were recognized currently and $7.3 million were deferred. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $0.5 million. During the Prior Year Quarter, the Company sold four offshore support vessels and other equipment for net proceeds of $11.9 million and gains of $7.7 million, of which $3.1million were recognized currently and $4.6 million were deferred. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $0.5 million.

Operating Income. Excluding the impact of gains on asset dispositions and the impact of brokered vessel activity, operating income as a percentage of operating revenues was 0.2% in the Current Year Quarter compared with 2.0% in the Prior Year Quarter. The reduction was primarily due to increased drydocking activity during the Current Year Quarter as referred to above.

28

Current Six Months compared with Prior Six Months

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues were $70.6 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months. Current Six Months results included the contributions of the Company's wind farm utility vessels and liftboats that were acquired on December 22, 2011 and March 30, 2012, respectively. The wind farm utility vessels contributed $12.7 million of time charter revenues with an average day rate of $2,627 per day and a utilization rate of 90%. The liftboats contributed $21.9 million of operating revenues of which $20.1 million was time charter revenue with an average day rate of $17,454 per day and a utilization rate of 70%.

Excluding the contribution of the wind farm utility vessels and liftboats, time charter revenues were $38.2 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months. Overall fleet utilization was 80% compared with 68% and average day rates were $12,246 per day compared with $10,655 per day in the Prior Six Months.The number of days available for charter was 20,101 compared with 21,814 in the Prior Six Months, a 1,713 day or 8% reduction.

In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, time charter revenues were $47.6 million higher primarily due to firmer market conditions during the first quarter of 2012 and the contribution of the liftboats. Excluding the contribution of the liftboats, time charter revenues were $27.5 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months. Net fleet additions increased time charter revenues by $3.6 million. Higher average day rates and improved utilization increased time charter revenues by $9.6 million and $15.0 million, respectively. The repositioning of vessels between geographic regions decreased time charter revenues by $0.7 million. As of June 30, 2012, the Company had no vessels cold-stacked in this region compared with seven as of June 30, 2011.

In Africa, time charter revenues were $3.7 million higher, of which $2.7 million was due to improved utilization and $1.2 million was due to higher average day rates. Fleet dispositions and the repositioning of vessels between geographic regions decreased time charter revenues by $0.2 million.

In the Middle East, time charter revenues were $3.1 million higher, of which $1.4 million was due to improved utilization and $0.2 million was due to higher average day rates. Net fleet additions increased time charter revenues by $2.3 million and the repositioning of vessels between geographic regions decreased time charter revenues by $0.8 million.

In Brazil, Mexico and Central and South America, time charter revenues were $2.4 million higher. Time charter revenues were $2.7 million higher due to the repositioning of vessels between geographic regions and $3.8 million higher due to higher average day rates. Lower utilization and net fleet dispositions decreased time charter revenues by $3.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively.

In Europe, excluding the $12.7 million contribution of the wind farm utility vessels, time charter revenues were $1.1 million higher. Time charter revenues were $1.9 million higher due to improved average day rates and $2.1 million higher due to a vessel that repositioned into the region. Lower utilization, vessel dispositions and unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates decreased time charter revenues by $0.8 million, $1.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Revenues from brokered vessel activity were $3.2 million lower due to reduced activity in West Africa. This was partially offset by a $2.8 million increase in bareboat charter and other marine services revenues.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $38.2 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months, of which $21.0 million was attributable to fleet additions including the wind farm utility vessels and liftboats. Excluding the impact of fleet additions, operating expenses were higher during the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months as follows: personnel costs were $6.9 million higher primarily due to the return to service of previously cold-stacked vessels, increased activity levels, and inflationary pressures on rates of pay; repair and maintenance expenses were $1.8 million higher, primarily in the U.S Gulf of Mexico, as activity levels increased during the Current Six Months; drydocking expenses were $3.2 million higher due to increased drydocking activity in international regions; fuel, lubes and supplies expenses were $1.3 million higher primarily due to increased activity levels in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico; leased-in equipment expense was $3.7 million higher primarily due to the charter-in of several vessels into Africa and Brazil, Mexico, Central and South America; brokered vessel activity was $2.2 million lower due to reduced activity in West Africa; other operating expenses were $2.4 million higher primarily due to net fleet additions and increased activity levels.

Gains on Asset Dispositions. During the Current Six Months, the Company sold four offshore support vessels and other equipment for net proceeds of $50.6 million and gains of $9.1 million, of which $1.8 million were recognized currently and $7.3 million were deferred. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $0.6 million. During the Prior Six Months, the Company sold five offshore support vessels and other equipment for net proceeds of $20.6 million and gains of $11.8 million, of which $7.2 million were recognized currently and $4.6 million were deferred. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $0.8 million.

29

Operating Income (Loss). Excluding the impact of gains on asset dispositions and the impact of brokered vessel activity, operating income as a percentage of operating revenues was 9% in the Current Six Months compared with an operating loss as a percentage of operating revenues of 4% in the Prior Six Months. The improvement was primarily due to firmer market conditions in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico during the first quarter of 2012.

Equity in Earnings of 50% or Less Owned Companies, Net of Tax. Equity in earnings of 50% or less owned companies, net of tax, increased by $1.9 million in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to the commencement of a long-term charter for a vessel in November 2011.

Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter

Operating Revenues.  Operating revenues were $5.5 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter.  Operating revenues in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico were $6.8 million higher primarily due to newly delivered medium and heavy helicopters being placed on contract, an expansion of government services support and a general increase in charter activity. Operating revenues from contract-leasing activities were $10.5 million lower. Contract-leasing revenues for aircraft chartered to Aviation Services' Brazilian joint venture were $6.2 million lower primarily due to the deferral of $4.4 million as a result of difficulties experienced by Aeroleo following one of its customer's cancellation of certain contracts for a number of AW139 aircraft under contract-lease from Aviation Services. In addition, contract-lease revenues from the joint venture were lower due to decreased flight hours for aircraft undergoing major maintenance.  Aviation Services also deferred contract-leasing revenues of $2.0 million from another customer due to the customer's short-term liquidity issues.  In addition, contract-leasing revenues were $1.4 million lower as a result of the expiration of a short-term contract-lease in Argentina. Operating revenues for air medical services were $0.8 million lower due to the conclusion of a long-term hospital contract. 

Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses were $3.5 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter.  Personnel costs were $1.3 million higher primarily due to the implementation of a pilot pay scale adjustment and the addition of personnel to support increased activity. Repair and maintenance expenses were $4.4 million lower primarily as a result of vendor credits for exiting certain power-by-hour maintenance contracts, partially offset by increased flight hours on helicopters under continuing power-by-hour maintenance contracts and the timing of repairs.   

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expenses were $1.9 million lower due to a change in estimate of the useful life and salvage value of helicopters, which reduced depreciation expense by $4.4 million in the Current Year Quarter, partially offset by the addition of new and higher cost equipment.  Effective July 1, 2011, the Company changed its estimated useful life and salvage value for helicopters from 12 to 15 years and 30% to 40% respectively, due to improvements in new aircraft models that continue to increase their long-term value and make them viable for operation over a longer period of time.

Gains on Asset Dispositions and Impairments, Net.   During the Current Year Quarter, Aviation Services sold five helicopters and other equipment for proceeds of $1.9 million and gains of $0.9 million.  In addition, Aviation Services recognized previously deferred gains of $0.2 million.  During the Prior Year Quarter, Aviation Services sold two helicopters and other equipment for proceeds of $6.9 million and gains of $6.0 million.  In addition, Aviation Services recognized previously deferred gains of $0.1 million.

Operating Income. Excluding the change in depreciation policy noted above, operating income as a percentage of operating revenues was 5% compared with 20% in the Prior Year Quarter. The decrease was primarily due to the deferral of certain operating revenues partially offset by lower operating expenses in the Current Year Quarter as noted above and higher gains on asset dispositions in the Prior Year Quarter.

Current Six Months compared with Prior Six Months

Operating Revenues.  Operating revenues were $0.6 million lower in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months.  Operating revenues in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico were $14.8 million higher primarily due to newly delivered medium and heavy helicopters being placed on contract, an expansion of government services support and a general increase in charter activity. Operating revenues in Alaska were $2.0 million lower primarily due to the temporary suspension of a contract with a major oil and gas customer whose operations are expected to resume in the fourth quarter of 2012. Operating revenues from contract-leasing activities were $12.4 million lower. Contract-leasing revenues for aircraft chartered to Aviation Services' Brazilian joint venture were $8.7 million lower primarily due to the deferral of $7.3 million as a result of difficulties experienced by Aeroleo following one of its customer's cancellation of certain contracts for a number of AW139 aircraft under contract-lease from Aviation Services. In addition, contract-lease revenues from the joint venture were lower due to decreased flight hours for aircraft undergoing major maintenance.  Aviation Services also deferred contract-leasing revenues of $2.0 million from another customer due to the customer's short-term liquidity issues.  In addition, contract-leasing revenues were $4.6 million lower as a result of the expiration of contract-leases in Argentina, Thailand and Trinidad.  These decreases were partially offset by additional aircraft and new contract-leases in Mexico, the United Kingdom and Denmark.

Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses were $2.8 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months.  Personnel costs were $2.4 million higher primarily due to the implementation of a pilot pay scale adjustment and the addition of personnel to support increased activity in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.  Repair and maintenance expenses were $3.8 million lower primarily as a result of vendor credits recognized in the Current Six Months, offset by additional flight hours on helicopters under power-by-hour agreements and the timing of repairs. Insurance and loss reserves were $1.0 million higher due to an increase in the overall fleet value and the recognition of a good experience credit from Aviation Services' hull and machinery underwriters

32

in the Prior Six Months. Other operating expenses were $3.1 million higher primarily due to the Prior Six Months receipt of $1.8 million in insurance proceeds related to hurricane damages sustained in 2005. 

Administrative and General.  Administrative and general expenses were $3.6 million higher in the Current Six Months primarily due to the recognition of previously deferred legal and professional expenses associated with a contemplated public offering and an increase in administrative support.

Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expenses were $4.2 million lower primarily due to the change in estimate of the useful life and salvage value of helicopters noted above, which reduced depreciation expense in the Current Six Months by $8.4 million, partially offset by the addition of new and higher cost equipment. 

Gains on Asset Dispositions and Impairments, Net.  During the Current Six Months, Aviation Services sold six helicopters and other equipment for proceeds of $4.8 million and gains of $2.4 million. In addition, Aviation Services recognized previously deferred gains of $0.4 million.  During the Prior Six Months, Aviation Services sold four helicopters and other equipment for proceeds of $9.7 million and gains of $8.1 million. In addition, Aviation Services recognized previously deferred gains of $0.3 million.

Operating Income. Excluding the change in depreciation policy noted above, operating income as a percentage of operating revenues was 2% compared with 16% in the Prior Six Months. The decrease was primarily due to the deferral of certain operating revenues noted above and higher gains on asset dispositions in the Prior Six Months.

Equity in losses of 50% or less owned companies. During the Current Six Months, Aviation Services recognized an impairment charge of $5.9 million, net of tax, on its investment in its Brazilian joint venture.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues were $11.9 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $18.9 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months. In the Current Six Months, dry cargo markets suffered from weak demand for freight and a portion of the dry cargo barge fleet was idled. In the Prior Six Months, markets were disrupted by difficult weather-related operating conditions with periodic river closures and restricted tow sizes. Operating revenues from the liquid unit tow and 10,000 barrel liquid tank barge operations were higher in both comparable periods due to increased demand. Operating revenues from inland river towboat operations and other activities were $8.5 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $17.1 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to activity in SCF's Lewis and Clark Fleeting and Terminal operations acquired in December 2011 (“Lewis & Clark").

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $9.7 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $16.6 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to Lewis & Clark. Barge logistics expenses were higher in both comparable periods primarily due to higher towing, fleeting and switching expenses and higher fuel costs.

Administrative and General. Administrative and general expenses were $0.6 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to Lewis & Clark and were $1.9 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to Lewis & Clark, the acquisition of a 70% interest in Naviera Central S.A. in December 2011 and higher wage and benefit costs.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $1.5 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $2.8 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to Lewis & Clark and the consolidation of Soylutions LLC beginning in July 2011.

Gains on Asset Dispositions. During the Current Year Quarter, the Company sold other equipment for net proceeds of $0.2 million and recognized gains of $0.2 million. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $0.7 million. During the Current Six Months, the Company sold one towboat and other equipment for net proceeds of $5.2 million and gains of $1.4 million. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $1.4 million.

During the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months, the Company sold one towboat for proceeds of $0.7 million and recognized a loss of $0.7 million. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $0.7 million and $1.4 million in the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months, respectively.

Operating Income. Excluding the impact of gains on asset dispositions, operating income as a percentage of operating revenues was 9% in the Current Year Quarter and the Prior Year Quarter and 11% in the Current Six Months compared with 16% in the Prior Six Months. The reduction in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months was primarily due to lower revenues for the dry cargo barge pools and higher barge logistics expenses discussed above.

G&G Shipping Acquisition. In April 2011, Marine Transportation Services acquired real property, eight foreign flag Roll-on/Roll-off (“RORO”) vessels and a 70% interest in an operating company engaged in the shipping trade between the United States, the Bahamas and the Caribbean (the "G&G Shipping Acquisition"). The operating company leases-in the real property and the RORO vessels from the Company. In the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months, this operation contributed operating losses of $1.3 million and $2.1 million, respectively. In the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months, it contributed an operating loss of $0.4 million.

37

Operating Revenues. Operating Revenues were $1.5 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter, and $10.4 million higher in the Current Six Months compared wit the Prior Six Months. Time charter revenues for the Company's U.S.-flag product tankers were flat in both comparable periods. In both cases, higher charter rates for three vessels were offset by 21 days of out-of-service time for one vessel undergoing topside repairs. Operating revenues for the foreign flag RORO vessels were $1.5 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $9.8 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months reflecting the G&G Shipping Acquisition discussed above.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $3.1 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to higher repair and maintenance costs and a complete quarter of activity for the RORO vessels. Operating expenses were $9.9 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to the G&G Acquisition discussed above and higher repair and maintenance costs.

Administrative and General. Administrative and general expenses were $0.8 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to higher salary costs, higher legal fees and higher facility maintenance expenses. Administrative and general expenses were $1.8 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to the G&G Shipping Acquisition discussed above, and higher legal fees.

Operating Income. Operating income as a percentage of operating revenues was 2% in the Current Year Quarter compared with 12% in the Prior Year Quarter and 6% in the Current Six Months compared with 12% in the Prior Six Months primarily due to out-of-service time and higher repair and maintenance costs for one vessels undergoing topside repairs.

Equity in earnings of 50% or Less Owned Companies. Equity in earnings in the Current Year Quarter and the Current Six Months reflect losses incurred by the Company's Trailer Bridge joint venture, an operator of U.S.-flag deck and RORO barges, partially offset by earnings from the Company's joint venture that began operating its U.S.-flag articulated tug-barge on the Great Lakes in April 2012.

Operating Results. Operating revenues and operating margins for Emergency and Crisis Services can vary materially between comparable periods depending upon the number and magnitude of emergency responses. Emergency and Crisis Services' operating results in the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months were impacted by oil spill response activities relating to the BP Macondo well incident in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico following the sinking of the semi-submersible drilling rig Deepwater Horizon in April 2010. Emergency and Crisis Services provided professional assistance, consulting services and software systems in support of incident management activities.

(1) In the Company’s energy and sugar trading businesses, fixed price future purchase and sale contracts for ethanol and sugar are included in derivative positions at fair value. The Company routinely enters into exchange traded derivative positions to offset its net commodity market exposure on these purchase and sale contracts as well as its inventory balances. As a result, derivative gains (losses), net recognized during any period are predominately offset by fair value adjustments included in operating revenues and expenses on completed transactions, subject to certain timing differences on the delivery of physical inventories. As of June 30, 2012 and 2011, the net market exposure to ethanol and sugar under its contracts and inventory balances was not material.

Energy Trading. Segment Profit was $3.0 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to lower backhaul revenues, a change in the ethanol product sales mix which reduced margins and higher losses as a result of consolidating of the Company's alcohol manufacturing joint venture, Illinois Corn Processing LLC (“ICP”) effective February 1, 2012.

40

Segment profit was $3.8 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to the recognition of a gain of $6.0 million, net of tax, which is included in equity in earnings in 50% or less owned subsidiaries, following the Company obtaining a controlling interest in ICP and the consequent adjustment of its investment therein to fair value. This gain was partially offset by reductions in segment profit due to reasons noted above.

Harbor and Offshore Towing Services. Segment profit was $1.2 million lower for the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $1.4 million lower for the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to decreased harbor traffic, higher drydocking and repair and maintenance costs and higher leased-in expenses to cover for vessels undergoing drydockings. These reductions in segment profit were partially offset by higher gains on asset sales.

Corporate Expenses. Corporate expenses decreased by $1.8 million in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to lower audit and tax fees and management bonus accruals, partially offset by the receipt in the Prior Six Months of insurance proceeds related to hurricanes Katrina and Rita in 2005.

Derivative gains (losses), net. Derivative losses, net in the Prior Year Quarter and the Prior Six Months were primarily due to losses on U.S. treasury notes, rate-locks and bond future and option contracts resulting from declines in market interest rates, partially offset by gains on forward currency exchange, option and future contracts due to movements in underlying currencies.

Foreign currency gains, net. Foreign currency gains, net in the Prior Year Quarter and the Prior Six Months were primarily due to the strengthening of the euro against the U.S. dollar.

Interest Income. Interest income was higher in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months primarily due to a prepayment penalty received following the early redemption of a note receivable in the Company's lending and leasing portfolio and interest earned on additional notes to certain of the Company's 50% or less owned companies.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was higher in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months primarily due to interest expense on borrowings from Era's senior secured revolving credit facility entered into on December 22, 2011.

Marketable Security Gains (Losses), net. Marketable security gains, net in the Current Year Quarter and Prior Year Quarter were primarily attributable to gains on the Company's long and short marketable security positions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company's ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from working capital needs, and its obligations to meet capital commitments and repay debt obligations. 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 facilities. From time to time, the Company may secure additional liquidity through asset sales or the issuance of debt, shares of Common Stock or common stock of its subsidiaries, preferred stock or a combination thereof.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company’s unfunded capital commitments totaled $377.6 million and consisted of: eleven offshore support vessels for $148.7 million; an interest in a jack-up drilling rig for $31.2 million; twelve helicopters for $139.3 million; seven inland river liquid tank barges for $16.2 million; an interest in a river grain terminal for $1.3 million; four harbor tugs for $28.5 million and other equipment and improvements for $12.4 million. Of these commitments $110.2 million is payable during the remainder of 2012 with the balance payable through 2016 and $154.2 million may be terminated without further liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $3.3 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the Company committed to purchase three inland river towboats for $11.4 million and notified the Company's lessors of its intent to purchase three harbor tugs for $3.9 million.

As of June 30, 2012, construction reserve funds of $182.8 million were 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.

SEACOR’s Board of Directors previously approved a securities repurchase plan that authorizes the Company to acquire Common Stock, which may be acquired through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions. As of June 30, 2012, the remaining authority under the repurchase plan was $132.6 million.

SEACOR’s Board of Directors has previously authorized the Company to purchase any or all of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 and its 7.375% Senior Notes due 2019, which may be acquired through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions.

42

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had $125.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the SEACOR revolving credit facility. The remaining availability under this facility as of June 30, 2012 was $279.0 million, net of issued letters of credit of $1.0 million. On November 3, 2012, the maximum committed amount under the revolving credit facility will be reduced by $40.5 million. As of June 30, 2012, Era had $260.0 million of outstanding borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility. The remaining availability under this facility as of June 30, 2012 was $89.7 million, net of issued letters of credit of $0.3 million. In addition, the Company had other outstanding letters of credit totaling $47.6 million with various expiration dates through 2016.

The acquired company had $1.6 million in cash at the time of the acquisition.

Financing Activities

During the Current Six Months, net cash used in financing activities of continuing operations was $85.3 million. The Company:

• had net borrowings of $8.0 million under the Era senior secured revolving credit facility;

• repaid $50.0 million under the SEACOR revolving credit facility;

• purchased $5.5 million, in principal amount, of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 for an aggregate purchase price of $5.7 million;

• made scheduled payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $7.2 million;

• repaid $3.2 million of acquired debt;

• received proceeds from other debt of $0.1 million;

• had net borrowings on inventory financing arrangements of $14.8 million;

• received $6.7 million for share award plans; and

• acquired for Treasury 199,766 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $17.4 million.

During the Prior Six Months, net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations was $3.0 million. The Company:

• purchased $1.0 million, in principal amount, of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 for an aggregate purchase price of $1.0 million;

• made scheduled payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $6.5 million;

• had net borrowings on inventory financing arrangements of $5.8 million; and

• received $6.3 million from share award plans.

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements

Current economic conditions have continued to disrupt the credit and capital markets. To date, the Company’s liquidity has not been materially impacted by the current credit environment 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 assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions for equipment; borrow under its revolving credit facilities; issue debt, shares of Common Stock, common stock of its subsidiaries or preferred stock; or a combination thereof.

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 and capital markets.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

For a discussion of the Company's off-balance sheet arrangements, refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There has been no material change in the Company's off-balance sheet arrangements during the Current Year Quarter except for the indemnifications of the SES Business as discussed below in Contingencies.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

For a discussion of the Company's contractual obligations and commercial commitments, refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. There has been no material change in the Company's contractual obligations and commercial commitments during the Current Six Months.

Contingencies

Prior to the sale of the SES Business, the Company had issued performance guarantees on behalf of the SES Business that expire in 2012 through 2014. As of June 30, 2012, the amount of outstanding SES Business performance guarantees was $0.8 million.

On August 19, 2011, the Company granted two fixed price purchase options to an unrelated third party to acquire up to 25% of the outstanding common stock of ORM, the Company's Emergency and Crisis Services business segment. The first option to acquire a 12.5% interest may be exercised beginning August 19, 2012 through August 19, 2014. If the first option is exercised, the second option to acquire an additional 12.5% may be exercised beginning August 19, 2013 through August 19, 2015.

On June 12, 2009, a purported civil class action was filed against the Company, Era Group Inc., Era Helicopters LLC and three other defendants (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, Superior Offshore International, Inc. v. Bristow Group Inc., et al., No. 09-CV-438 (D. Del.).  The Complaint alleged that the Defendants violated federal antitrust law by conspiring with each other to raise, fix, maintain or stabilize prices for offshore helicopter services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico during the period January 2001 to December 2005.  The purported class of plaintiffs included all direct purchasers of such services and the relief sought included compensatory damages and treble damages.  On September 4, 2009, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint.  On September 14, 2010, the Court entered an order dismissing the Complaint.  On September 28, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration and amendment and a motion for re-argument (the “Motions”).  On November 30, 2010, the Court granted the Motions, amended the Court's September 14, 2010 Order to clarify that the dismissal was without prejudice, permitted the filing of an amended Complaint, and authorized limited discovery with respect to the new allegations in the amended Complaint.  Following the completion of such limited discovery, on February 11, 2011, the Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the amended Complaint with prejudice.  On June 23, 2011, the District Court granted summary judgment for the Defendants.  On July 22, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.  On July 27, 2002, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendants. On August 9, 2011, Defendants moved for certain excessive costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees under 28 U.S.C. § 1927. That motion is fully briefed and a decision is pending.

On July 14, 2010, a group of individuals and entities purporting to represent a class commenced a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, Terry G. Robin, et al. v. Seacor Marine, L.L.C., et al., No. 2:10-cv-01986 (E.D. La.) (the “Robin Case”), in which they assert that support vessels, including vessels owned by the Company, responding to the explosion and resulting fire that occurred aboard the semi-submersible drilling rig, the Deepwater Horizon, were negligent in their efforts to save lives and put out the fire and contributed to the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon and subsequent oil spill. The action now is part of the overall multi-district litigation, In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon”, MDL No. 2179 (“MDL”). The complaint seeks compensatory, punitive, exemplary, and other damages.  In response to this lawsuit, the Company filed petitions seeking exoneration from, or limitation of liability in relation to, any actions that may have been taken by vessels owned by the Company to extinguish the fire.  Pursuant to the Limitation of Liability Act, those petitions imposed an automatic stay on the Robin Case, and the court set a deadline of April 20, 2011 for individual claimants to assert claims in the limitation cases.  Approximately 66 claims were submitted by the deadline in all of the limitation actions.  On June 8, 2011, the Company moved to dismiss these claims (with the exception of one claim filed by a Company employee) on various legal grounds.  On October 12, 2011, the Court granted the Company's motion to dismiss in its entirety, dismissing with prejudice all claims that had been filed against the Company in the limitation actions (with the exception of one claim filed by a Company employee that was not subject to the motion to dismiss).  The Court entered final judgments in favor of the Company in the Robin Case and each of the limitation actions on November 21, 2011.  On December 12, 2011, the claimants appealed each of those judgments to the Unites States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  The claimants' opening brief was submitted on May 7, 2012, and the claimants filed a reply brief on June 1, 2012.  The appeal is now fully submitted but no date has been set for oral argument, if any. The

46

Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from this matter but believes it is without merit and will continue to vigorously defend the action.

On July 20, 2010, two individuals purporting to represent a class commenced a civil action in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans in the State of Louisiana, John Wunstell, Jr. and Kelly Blanchard v. BP, et al., No. 2010-7437 (Division K) (the “Wunstell Action”), in which they assert, among other theories, that Mr. Wunstell suffered injuries as a result of his exposure to certain noxious fumes and chemicals in connection with the provision of remediation, containment and response services by ORM. The action now is part of the overall MDL. The complaint also seeks to establish a “class-wide court-supervised medical monitoring program” for all individuals “participating in BP's Deepwater Horizon Vessels of Opportunity Program and/or Horizon Response Program” who allegedly experienced injuries similar to those of Mr. Wunstell. The Company believes this lawsuit has no merit and will continue to vigorously defend the action.  Pursuant to contractual agreements with the responsible party, the responsible party has agreed, subject to certain potential limitations, to indemnify and defend ORM in connection with the Wunstell Action and claims asserted in the MDL.

On December 15, 2010, ORM and then-SEACOR subsidiary National Response Corporation (“NRC”) were named as defendants in one of the several consolidated “master complaints” that have been filed in the overall MDL.  The master complaint naming ORM and NRC asserts various claims on behalf of a putative class against multiple defendants concerning the clean-up activities generally, and the use of dispersants specifically.  By court order, the Wunstell Action has been stayed as a result of the filing of the referenced master complaint.  The Company believes that the claims asserted against ORM and NRC in the master complaint have no merit and on February 28, 2011, ORM and NRC moved to dismiss all claims against them in the master complaint on legal grounds.  On September 30, 2011, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss that ORM and NRC had filed (an amended decision was issued on October 4, 2011 that corrected several grammatical errors and non-substantive oversights in the original order).  Although the Court refused to dismiss the referenced master complaint in its entirety at that time, the Court did recognize the validity of the “derivative immunity” and “implied preemption” arguments that ORM and NRC advanced and has directed ORM and NRC to (i) conduct limited discovery to develop evidence to support those arguments and (ii) then re-assert the arguments.  The Court did, however, dismiss all state-law claims and certain other claims that had been asserted in the referenced master complaint, and dismissed the claims of all plaintiffs that have failed to allege a legally-sufficient injury.  A schedule for limited discovery and motion practice was established by the Court and, in accordance with that schedule, ORM and NRC filed for summary judgment re-asserting their derivative immunity and implied preemption arguments on May 18, 2012.  Those motions were argued on July 13, 2012 and the Court has taken them under advisement.  In addition to the indemnity provided to ORM, pursuant to contractual agreements with the responsible party, the responsible party has agreed, subject to certain potential limitations, to indemnify and defend ORM and NRC in connection with these claims in the MDL. 

Subsequent to the filing of the referenced master complaint, four additional individual civil actions have been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana concerning the clean-up activities generally, which name the Company, ORM and/or NRC as defendants and are part of the overall MDL. On April 8, 2011, ORM was named as a defendant in Johnson Bros. Corporation of Louisiana v. BP, PLC, et al., No. 2:11-cv-00781 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by an individual business seeking damages allegedly caused by a delay on a construction project alleged to have resulted from the clean-up operations. On April 15, 2011, ORM and NRC were named as defendants in James and Krista Pearson v. BP Exploration & Production, Inc., et al., No. 2:11-cv-00863 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by a husband and wife, who allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and are seeking damages for personal injury, property damage to their boat, and amounts allegedly due under contract. On April 15, 2011, ORM and NRC were named as defendants in Thomas Edward Black v. BP Exploration & Production, Inc., et al., No. 2:11-cv-00867 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by an individual who is seeking damages for lost income because he allegedly could not find work in the fishing industry after the oil spill. On April 20, 2011, a complaint was filed in Darnell Alexander, et al. v. BP, PLC, et al., No. 2:11-cv-00951 (E.D. La.) on behalf of 117 individual plaintiffs that seek to adopt the allegations made in the referenced master complaint against ORM and NRC (and the other defendants). By court order, all four of these additional individual cases have been stayed as a result of the filing of the referenced master complaint.  The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from this matter but believes it is without merit and does not expect this matter will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

On February 18, 2011, Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, Transocean Holdings LLC, Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc., and Transocean Deepwater Inc. (collectively “Transocean”) named ORM and NRC as third-party defendants in a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint in Transocean's own Limitation of Liability Act action, which is part of the overall MDL, tendering to ORM and NRC the claims in the referenced master complaint that have already been asserted against ORM and NRC. Transocean, Cameron International Corporation, Halliburton Energy Services, Inc., M-I L.L.C., Weatherford U.S., L.P., and Weatherford International, Inc. have also filed cross-claims against ORM and NRC for contribution and tort indemnity should they be found liable for any damages in Transocean's Limitation of Liability Act action and ORM and NRC have asserted counterclaims against those same parties for identical relief.  As provided above, the Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these actions but believes they are without merit and does not expect this matter will have a material effect on the

47

Company's consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

Separately, on March 2, 2012, the Court announced that BP Exploration & Production Inc. and BP America Production Company (collectively "BP") and the plaintiffs had reached an agreement on the terms of two proposed class action settlements that will resolve, among other things, plaintiffs' economic loss claims and clean-up related claims against BP.  The parties filed their proposed settlement agreements on April 18, 2012 along with motions seeking preliminary approval of the settlements. The Court held a hearing on April 25, 2012 to consider those motions and preliminarily approved both settlements on May 2, 2012.  Although neither the Company, ORM or NRC are parties to the settlement agreements, the Company, ORM and NRC are listed on the releases accompanying both settlement agreements, such that if the settlement agreements are finally approved by the Court as currently drafted, any plaintiffs that settle will be required to release their claims against the Company, ORM and NRC.  The opt-out period for the proposed settlement closes on October 1, 2012 and a final fairness hearing to consider whether the settlements should be finally approved is scheduled for November 8, 2012.

In the course of the Company's business, it may agree to indemnify a party.  If the indemnified party makes a successful claim for indemnification, the Company would be required to reimburse that party in accordance with the terms of the indemnification agreement.  Indemnification agreements generally are subject to threshold amounts, specified claim periods and other restrictions and limitations. 

In connection with the disposition of the SES Business on March 16, 2012, the Company remains contingently liable for certain obligations of the SES Business, including potential liabilities relating to work performed in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response.  These potential liabilities may not exceed the purchase consideration received by the Company for the SES Business and the Company currently is indemnified under contractual agreements with BP.

ORM, a subsidiary of the Company, is defending against five collective action lawsuits, each asserting failure to pay overtime with respect to individuals who provided service on the Deepwater Horizon spill response (the “DPH FLSA Actions”) under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”).  Four of the cases - Dennis Prejean v. O'Brien's Response Management, Inc. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01045) (the “Prejean Action”); Baylor Singleton et. al. v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc., et. al. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01716) (the “Singleton Action”); Himmerite et al. v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc. et al. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01533) (the “Himmerite Action”); and Chann Chavis v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc. et al. (S.D. Tx., Case No.: 4:12-cv-02045) (the “Chavis Action”) - were each brought on behalf of certain individuals who worked on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and who were classified as independent contractors.  The Prejean, Himmerite and Singleton Actions were each filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and then subsequently consolidated with the In re: Oil Spill Multidistrict Litigation (N.D. La., Case No. 10-md-02179) (the “Oil Spill MDL”).  The Himmerite and Singleton Actions have since been automatically stayed pending further scheduling by the Court, pursuant to the procedures in the Oil Spill MDL.  In the Prejean Action, ORM has answered the complaint, a scheduling order has been issued and Plaintiffs have, among other things, filed a Motion for Conditional Certification, which has been stayed pending further scheduling by the Court in accordance with the procedures of the Oil Spill MDL.  The Chavis Action was filed on July 7, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, and ORM has not yet responded to or answered the complaint in that matter.  The other DPH FLSA Action, Mark Blackman et. al. v. Midwest Environmental Resources, Inc., et. al. (N.D. Fla., Case No.: 3:11-cv-146) (the “Blackman Action”), was filed by five individual Plaintiffs on March 28, 2011, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida, against ORM and several other Defendants.  The complaint in the Blackman Action alleges that the named Plaintiffs and class of workers they are suing on behalf of, identified in the complaint as “Safety Techs,” were not appropriately compensated for all of their work time in violation of the FLSA.  On July 8, 2011, the Court stayed all proceedings in the Blackman Action.  On May 8, 2012, the Court ruled on various motions to dismiss brought by ORM and by the other Defendants, denying them in part, granting them in part, and providing the Plaintiffs with leave to amend the complaint.  On June 6, 2012, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and on June 20, 2012, Defendant ORM answered the amended complaint, denying all of the Plaintiffs' claims.  On July 6, 2012, the Court issued a scheduling order setting discovery and dispositive motion deadlines.  The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from any of the five DPH FLSA Actions, but believes they are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend against them.

In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. 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 would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

In 2011, the Company received a Notice of Infringement (the “Notice”) from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Office. The Notice alleged the Company had imported a number of vessels into Brazil without properly completing the required importation

48

documents and levied an assessment of $25.7 million. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position that the proposed assessment is erroneous and believes the resolution of this matter will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or its results of operations. Of the levied assessment, $19.3 million relates to managed vessels whose owner would be responsible to reimburse any potential payment.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For a 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, 2011. There has been no significant change in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the Current Six Months, except as described below.

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had capital purchase commitments of €110.8 million ($139.3 million). An adverse change of 10% in the underlying foreign currency exchange rate would increase the U.S. dollar equivalent of these non-hedged purchase commitments by $9.0 million, net of tax.

As of June 30, 2012, Era Group Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, had outstanding variable rate borrowings of $260.0 million under the terms of its senior secured revolving credit facility. The average borrowing rate as of June 30, 2012 was 3.4%. An adverse change of 10% in the underlying rate would result in additional annual interest expense of $0.1 million, net of tax.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

With the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s 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 June 30, 2012. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2012.

There have been no changes in the Company’s 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 Company’s internal control over financial reporting. During the Current Year Quarter, the Company implemented a newer version of its financial information technology system. This implementation was subject to thorough testing and review before and after the final implementation with no significant impact on our underlying internal controls over financial reporting.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

Fair Value Measurements

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of an asset or liability 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. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes 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 value of the assets or liabilities.

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2012 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
ASSETS
Marketable securities(1)	$	32,759	$	62	$	—
Derivative instruments (included in other receivables)	1,510		5,408		—
Construction reserve funds and Title XI reserve funds	192,420		—		—
LIABILITIES
Short sale of marketable securities (included in other current liabilities)	13,507		138		—
Derivative instruments (included in other current liabilities)	8,029		8,064		—

 ______________________

(1) Marketable security gains (losses), net include unrealized gains of $0.2 million and losses of $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to marketable security positions held by the Company as of June 30, 2012. Marketable security gains (losses), net include unrealized gains of $2.6 million and losses of $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to marketable security positions held by the Company as of June 30, 2012.

The estimated fair values of the Company’s other financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):

			Estimated Fair Value
	Carrying Amount		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
ASSETS
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	319,373	$	319,373	$	—	$	—
Investments, at cost, in 50% or less owned companies (included in other assets)	9,315		see below
Notes receivable from other business ventures (included in other receivables and other assets)	40,900		see below
LIABILITIES
Long-term debt, including current portion	965,456		—		992,255		—

The carrying value of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash approximates fair value. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was estimated based upon quoted market prices or by using discounted cash flow analyses based on estimated current rates for similar types of arrangements. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company’s investments, at cost, in 50% or less owned companies because of the lack of quoted market prices and the inability to estimate fair value without incurring excessive costs. It was not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Company’s notes receivable from other business ventures as the overall returns are uncertain due to certain provisions for additional payments contingent upon future events. Considerable judgment was required in developing certain of the estimates of fair value and, accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

The Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2012 were as follows (in thousands):

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
ASSETS
Investment in Illinois Corn Processing LLC(1)	$	—	$	30,916	$	—

 ______________________

(1) During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company marked its equity investment in its Illinois Corn Processing LLC ("ICP") joint venture to fair value following the acquisition of a controlling interest (see Note 6). The investment's fair value was determined based on a fair value analysis of the assets and liabilities of ICP.

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policy

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICY

The condensed consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 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 fairly present the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2012, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, its comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, its changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. 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 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, 2011.

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

Discontinued Operations. The Company's Environmental Services business segment was conducted through SEACOR Environmental Services Inc. ("SES") and O'Brien's Response Management Inc. ("ORM"). SES included National Response Corporation, one of the largest providers of oil spill response services in the United States; NRC Environmental Services Inc., a leading provider of environmental and industrial services on the West Coast of the United States; SEACOR Response Ltd., which provides oil spill response and emergency response services to customers in international markets; and certain other subsidiaries (collectively the "SES Business"). On March 16, 2012, the Company sold the SES Business for a net sales price of $99.9 million and recognized a gain of $20.8 million, net of tax, or $1.00 per diluted share. The transaction did not include ORM, a leading provider of crisis and emergency preparedness and response services. The Company has no continuing involvement in the SES Business, although the sales agreement provides that the Company may receive contingent consideration equal to a portion of the revenue generated by any extraordinary oil spill response that occurs within three years following the date of sale. For all periods presented, the Company has reported the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the SES Business as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The remaining ORM business in the segment was renamed Emergency and Crisis Services.

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue that does not meet these criteria is deferred until the criteria are met. Deferred revenues, included in other current liabilities, for the six months ended June 30 were as follows (in thousands):

	2012			2011
Balance at beginning of period	$	9,968		$	21,045
Revenues deferred during the period	13,550			3,978
Revenues recognized during the period	(7,697		)	(8,334		)
Balance at end of period	$	15,821		$	16,689

As of June 30, 2012, deferred revenues included $6.4 million relating to the time charter of several offshore support vessels operating in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico that are scheduled to be paid through the conveyance of a limited net profit interest in developmental oil and gas producing properties owned by a customer. Payments from the conveyance of the limited net profit interest, and the timing of such payments, are contingent upon production and energy sale prices. Based on the current production payout estimate, the deferred revenues are expected to be paid in 2012. The Company will continue to recognize revenues as cash is received or earlier should future payments become determinable. All costs and expenses related to these charters were recognized as incurred.

As of June 30, 2012, deferred revenues included $7.3 million related to contract-lease revenues for certain helicopters leased by Aviation Services to Aeroleo Taxi Aero S/A ("Aeroleo"), its Brazilian joint venture (see Note 6). The deferral resulted from difficulties experienced by Aeroleo following one of its customer's cancellation of certain contracts for a number of AW139 aircraft under contract-lease from Aviation Services. The Company will recognize revenues as cash is received or earlier should future collectability become reasonably assured. All costs and expenses related to these contract-leases were recognized as incurred.

As of June 30, 2012, deferred revenues also included $2.0 million related to contract-lease revenues for certain helicopters leased by Aviation Services to one of its customers. The deferral resulted from the customer having its operating certificate revoked for a period of time and therefore being unable to operate. The certificate has since been reinstated but uncertainty still remains regarding the collectability of the contract-lease revenues. The Company will recognize revenues as cash is received or earlier should future collectability become reasonably assured. All costs and expenses related to these contract-leases were recognized as incurred.

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications of prior period information have been made to conform to the presentation of the current period information. These reclassifications had no effect on net income as previously reported.

Earnings Per Common Share of SEACOR [Abstract]

Earnings Per Common Share of SEACOR

EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE OF SEACOR

Basic earnings per common share of SEACOR are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the relevant periods. Diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR are computed based on the weighted average number of common shares issued and outstanding plus the effect of potentially dilutive securities through the application of the treasury stock method. Dilutive securities for this purpose assumes restricted stock grants have vested and common shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock options. For the three and the six months ended June 30, 2012, diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR excluded 593,344 and 531,101 , respectively, of certain share awards as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR excluded 333,819 and 254,230, respectively, of certain share awards as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive.

A reconciliation of basic and diluted weighted average outstanding common shares of SEACOR was as follows:

Equipment Acquisitions, Dispositions and Depreciation and Impairment Policies

EQUIPMENT ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSITIONS AND DEPRECIATION AND IMPAIRMENT POLICIES

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, capital expenditures were $186.5 million. Equipment deliveries during the period included one offshore support vessel, one wind farm utility vessel, three inland river dry cargo barges, two liquid tank barges, one inland river towboat and 13 helicopters.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company sold four offshore support vessels, six helicopters, one inland river towboat, two harbor tugs and other equipment for net proceeds of $65.6 million ($11.7 million in cash, $5.0 million in cash deposits previously received and $48.9 million in seller financing) and gains of $14.8 million, of which $7.5 million were recognized currently and $7.3 million were deferred. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $2.5 million and received $0.2 million in deposits related to future expected sales. Two of the offshore support vessels sold were to the Company's Mexican joint venture for $48.5 million (see Note 6).

The Company previously sold certain equipment to 50% or less owned companies prior to adopting new accounting rules effective January 1, 2009 and from time to time enters into vessel sale-leaseback transactions with finance companies and provides seller financing on sales of its equipment to third parties and its 50% or less owned companies. A portion of the gains realized from these transactions were deferred and recorded in deferred gains and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Deferred gain activity related to these transactions for the six months ended June 30 was as follows (in thousands):

	2012			2011
Balance at beginning of period	$	119,570		$	131,836
Deferred gains arising from asset sales	7,280			4,597
Amortization of deferred gains included in operating expenses as a reduction to rental expense	(9,526		)	(11,194		)
Amortization of deferred gains included in gains on asset dispositions and impairments, net	(2,455		)	(2,461		)
Balance at end of period	$	114,869		$	122,778

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 that 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 June 30, 2012, the estimated useful life (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new equipment was as follows:

Offshore support vessels	20
Wind farm utility vessels	10
Helicopters(1)	15
Inland river dry cargo and deck barges	20
Inland river liquid tank barges	25
Inland river towboats	25
U.S.-flag tankers	25
RORO vessels	20
Harbor and offshore tugs	25
Ocean liquid tank barges	25

______________________ 

(1) Effective July 1, 2011, the Company changed its estimated useful life and salvage value for helicopters from 12 to 15 years and 30% to 40%, respectively, due to improvements in new aircraft models that continue to increase their long-term value and make them viable for operation over a longer period of time. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the change in estimate increased operating income by $4.4 million, net income by $2.9 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.14. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the change in estimate increased operating income by $8.4 million, net income by $5.4 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.26.

The Company performs an impairment analysis of long-lived assets used in operations, including intangible assets, when indicators of impairment are present. If the carrying value of the assets is not recoverable, as determined by the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of the assets is reduced to fair value. Generally, fair value is determined using valuation techniques, such as expected discounted cash flows or appraisals, as appropriate. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, impairment charges recognized by the Company related to long-lived assets held for use were not material.

Multiemployer Pension Plans

MULTI-EMPLOYER PENSION PLANS

There has been no material change in the multi-employer pension plans in which the Company participates, except that the Company received notification from the American Maritime Officers Pension Plan (the "AMOPP”) that, based on an actuarial valuation performed as of September 30, 2011, if the Company chose to withdraw from the AMOPP, its withdrawal liability would have been $39.3 million. That liability may change in future years based on various factors, primarily employee census. As of June 30, 2012, the Company has no intention to withdraw from the AMOPP and no deficit amounts have been invoiced. Depending upon the results of the future actuarial valuations and the ten-year rehabilitation plan, it is possible that the AMOPP will experience further funding deficits, requiring the Company to recognize additional payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received or contribution levels are increased.

Bristow Group Inc., et al., No. 09-CV-438 (D. Del.).  The Complaint alleged that the Defendants violated federal antitrust law by conspiring with each other to raise, fix, maintain or stabilize prices for offshore helicopter services in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico during the period January 2001 to December 2005.  The purported class of plaintiffs included all direct purchasers of such services and the relief sought included compensatory damages and treble damages.  On September 4, 2009, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint.  On September 14, 2010, the Court entered an order dismissing the Complaint.  On September 28, 2010, the plaintiffs filed a motion for reconsideration and amendment and a motion for re-argument (the “Motions”).  On November 30, 2010, the Court granted the Motions, amended the Court's September 14, 2010 Order to clarify that the dismissal was without prejudice, permitted the filing of an amended Complaint, and authorized limited discovery with respect to the new allegations in the amended Complaint.  Following the completion of such limited discovery, on February 11, 2011, the Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment to dismiss the amended Complaint with prejudice.  On June 23, 2011, the District Court granted summary judgment for the Defendants.  On July 22, 2011, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.  On July 27, 2002, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the defendants. On August 9, 2011, Defendants moved for certain excessive costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees under 28 U.S.C. § 1927. That motion is fully briefed and a decision is pending.

On July 14, 2010, a group of individuals and entities purporting to represent a class commenced a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, Terry G. Robin, et al. v. Seacor Marine, L.L.C., et al., No. 2:10-cv-01986 (E.D. La.) (the “Robin Case”), in which they assert that support vessels, including vessels owned by the Company, responding to the explosion and resulting fire that occurred aboard the semi-submersible drilling rig, the Deepwater Horizon, were negligent in their efforts to save lives and put out the fire and contributed to the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon and subsequent oil spill. The action now is part of the overall multi-district litigation, In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig “Deepwater Horizon”, MDL No. 2179 (“MDL”). The complaint seeks compensatory, punitive, exemplary, and other damages.  In response to this lawsuit, the Company filed petitions seeking exoneration from, or limitation of liability in relation to, any actions that may have been taken by vessels owned by the Company to extinguish the fire.  Pursuant to the Limitation of Liability Act, those petitions imposed an automatic stay on the Robin Case, and the court set a deadline of April 20, 2011 for individual claimants to assert claims in the limitation cases.  Approximately 66 claims were submitted by the deadline in all of the limitation actions.  On June 8, 2011, the Company moved to dismiss these claims (with the exception of one claim filed by a Company employee) on various legal grounds.  On October 12, 2011, the Court granted the Company's motion to dismiss in its entirety, dismissing with prejudice all claims that had been filed against the Company in the limitation actions (with the exception of one claim filed by a Company employee that was not subject to the motion to dismiss).  The Court entered final judgments in favor of the Company in the Robin Case and each of the limitation actions on November 21, 2011.  On December 12, 2011, the claimants appealed each of those judgments to the Unites States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  The claimants' opening brief was submitted on May 7, 2012, and the claimants filed a reply brief on June 1, 2012.  The appeal is now fully submitted but no date has been set for oral argument, if any. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from this matter but believes it is without merit and will continue to vigorously defend the action.

On July 20, 2010, two individuals purporting to represent a class commenced a civil action in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans in the State of Louisiana, John Wunstell, Jr. and Kelly Blanchard v. BP, et al., No. 2010-7437 (Division K) (the “Wunstell Action”), in which they assert, among other theories, that Mr. Wunstell suffered injuries as a result of his exposure to certain noxious fumes and chemicals in connection with the provision of remediation, containment and response services by ORM. The action now is part of the overall MDL. The complaint also seeks to establish a “class-wide court-supervised medical monitoring program” for all individuals “participating in BP's Deepwater Horizon Vessels of Opportunity Program and/or Horizon Response Program” who allegedly experienced injuries similar to those of Mr. Wunstell. The Company believes this lawsuit has no merit and will continue to vigorously defend the action.  Pursuant to contractual agreements with the responsible party, the responsible party has agreed, subject to certain potential limitations, to indemnify and defend ORM in connection with the Wunstell Action and claims asserted in the MDL.

On December 15, 2010, ORM and then-SEACOR subsidiary National Response Corporation (“NRC”) were named as defendants in one of the several consolidated “master complaints” that have been filed in the overall MDL.  The master complaint naming ORM and NRC asserts various claims on behalf of a putative class against multiple defendants concerning the clean-up activities generally, and the use of dispersants specifically.  By court order, the Wunstell Action has been stayed as a result of the filing of the referenced master complaint.  The Company believes that the claims asserted against ORM and NRC in the master complaint have no merit and on February 28, 2011, ORM and NRC moved to dismiss all claims against them in the master complaint on legal grounds.  On September 30, 2011, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss that ORM and NRC had filed (an amended decision was issued on October 4, 2011 that corrected several grammatical errors and non-substantive oversights in the original order).  Although the Court refused to dismiss the referenced master complaint in its entirety at that time, the Court did recognize the validity of the “derivative immunity” and “implied preemption” arguments that ORM and NRC advanced and has directed ORM and NRC to (i) conduct limited discovery to develop evidence to support those arguments and (ii) then re-assert the arguments.  The Court did, however, dismiss all state-law claims and certain other claims that had been asserted in the referenced master complaint, and dismissed the claims of all plaintiffs that have failed to allege a legally-sufficient injury.  A schedule for limited discovery and motion practice was established by the Court and, in accordance with that schedule, ORM and NRC filed for summary judgment re-asserting their derivative immunity and implied preemption arguments on May 18, 2012.  Those motions were argued on July 13, 2012 and the Court has taken them under advisement.  In addition to the indemnity provided to ORM, pursuant to contractual agreements with the responsible party, the responsible party has agreed, subject to certain potential limitations, to indemnify and defend ORM and NRC in connection with these claims in the MDL. 

Subsequent to the filing of the referenced master complaint, four additional individual civil actions have been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana concerning the clean-up activities generally, which name the Company, ORM and/or NRC as defendants and are part of the overall MDL. On April 8, 2011, ORM was named as a defendant in Johnson Bros. Corporation of Louisiana v. BP, PLC, et al., No. 2:11-cv-00781 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by an individual business seeking damages allegedly caused by a delay on a construction project alleged to have resulted from the clean-up operations. On April 15, 2011, ORM and NRC were named as defendants in James and Krista Pearson v. BP Exploration & Production, Inc., et al., No. 2:11-cv-00863 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by a husband and wife, who allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and are seeking damages for personal injury, property damage to their boat, and amounts allegedly due under contract. On April 15, 2011, ORM and NRC were named as defendants in Thomas Edward Black v. BP Exploration & Production, Inc., et al., No. 2:11-cv-00867 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by an individual who is seeking damages for lost income because he allegedly could not find work in the fishing industry after the oil spill. On April 20, 2011, a complaint was filed in Darnell Alexander, et al. v. BP, PLC, et al., No. 2:11-cv-00951 (E.D. La.) on behalf of 117 individual plaintiffs that seek to adopt the allegations made in the referenced master complaint against ORM and NRC (and the other defendants). By court order, all four of these additional individual cases have been stayed as a result of the filing of the referenced master complaint.  The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from this matter but believes it is without merit and does not expect this matter will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

On February 18, 2011, Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, Transocean Holdings LLC, Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc., and Transocean Deepwater Inc. (collectively “Transocean”) named ORM and NRC as third-party defendants in a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint in Transocean's own Limitation of Liability Act action, which is part of the overall MDL, tendering to ORM and NRC the claims in the referenced master complaint that have already been asserted against ORM and NRC. Transocean, Cameron International Corporation, Halliburton Energy Services, Inc., M-I L.L.C., Weatherford U.S., L.P., and Weatherford International, Inc. have also filed cross-claims against ORM and NRC for contribution and tort indemnity should they be found liable for any damages in Transocean's Limitation of Liability Act action and ORM and NRC have asserted counterclaims against those same parties for identical relief.  As provided above, the Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these actions but believes they are without merit and does not expect this matter will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

Separately, on March 2, 2012, the Court announced that BP Exploration & Production Inc. and BP America Production Company (collectively "BP") and the plaintiffs had reached an agreement on the terms of two proposed class action settlements that will resolve, among other things, plaintiffs' economic loss claims and clean-up related claims against BP.  The parties filed their proposed settlement agreements on April 18, 2012 along with motions seeking preliminary approval of the settlements. The Court held a hearing on April 25, 2012 to consider those motions and preliminarily approved both settlements on May 2, 2012.  Although neither the Company, ORM or NRC are parties to the settlement agreements, the Company, ORM and NRC are listed on the releases accompanying both settlement agreements, such that if the settlement agreements are finally approved by the Court as currently drafted, any plaintiffs that settle will be required to release their claims against the Company, ORM and NRC.  The opt-out period for the proposed settlement closes on October 1, 2012 and a final fairness hearing to consider whether the settlements should be finally approved is scheduled for November 8, 2012.

In the course of the Company's business, it may agree to indemnify a party.  If the indemnified party makes a successful claim for indemnification, the Company would be required to reimburse that party in accordance with the terms of the indemnification agreement.  Indemnification agreements generally are subject to threshold amounts, specified claim periods and other restrictions and limitations. 

In connection with the disposition of the SES Business on March 16, 2012, the Company remains contingently liable for certain obligations of the SES Business, including potential liabilities relating to work performed in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response.  These potential liabilities may not exceed the purchase consideration received by the Company for the SES Business and the Company currently is indemnified under contractual agreements with BP.

ORM, a subsidiary of the Company, is defending against five collective action lawsuits, each asserting failure to pay overtime with respect to individuals who provided service on the Deepwater Horizon spill response (the “DPH FLSA Actions”) under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”).  Four of the cases - Dennis Prejean v. O'Brien's Response Management, Inc. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01045) (the “Prejean Action”); Baylor Singleton et. al. v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc., et. al. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01716) (the “Singleton Action”); Himmerite et al. v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc. et al. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01533) (the “Himmerite Action”); and Chann Chavis v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc. et al. (S.D. Tx., Case No.: 4:12-cv-02045) (the “Chavis Action”) - were each brought on behalf of certain individuals who worked on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and who were classified as independent contractors.  The Prejean, Himmerite and Singleton Actions were each filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and then subsequently consolidated with the In re: Oil Spill Multidistrict Litigation (N.D. La., Case No. 10-md-02179) (the “Oil Spill MDL”).  The Himmerite and Singleton Actions have since been automatically stayed pending further scheduling by the Court, pursuant to the procedures in the Oil Spill MDL.  In the Prejean Action, ORM has answered the complaint, a scheduling order has been issued and Plaintiffs have, among other things, filed a Motion for Conditional Certification, which has been stayed pending further scheduling by the Court in accordance with the procedures of the Oil Spill MDL.  The Chavis Action was filed on July 7, 2012 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, and ORM has not yet responded to or answered the complaint in that matter.  The other DPH FLSA Action, Mark Blackman et. al. v. Midwest Environmental Resources, Inc., et. al. (N.D. Fla., Case No.: 3:11-cv-146) (the “Blackman Action”), was filed by five individual Plaintiffs on March 28, 2011, in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Florida, against ORM and several other Defendants.  The complaint in the Blackman Action alleges that the named Plaintiffs and class of workers they are suing on behalf of, identified in the complaint as “Safety Techs,” were not appropriately compensated for all of their work time in violation of the FLSA.  On July 8, 2011, the Court stayed all proceedings in the Blackman Action.  On May 8, 2012, the Court ruled on various motions to dismiss brought by ORM and by the other Defendants, denying them in part, granting them in part, and providing the Plaintiffs with leave to amend the complaint.  On June 6, 2012, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint and on June 20, 2012, Defendant ORM answered the amended complaint, denying all of the Plaintiffs' claims.  On July 6, 2012, the Court issued a scheduling order setting discovery and dispositive motion deadlines.  The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from any of the five DPH FLSA Actions, but believes they are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend against them.

In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. 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 would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

In 2011, the Company received a Notice of Infringement (the “Notice”) from the Brazilian Federal Revenue Office. The Notice alleged the Company had imported a number of vessels into Brazil without properly completing the required importation documents and levied an assessment of $25.7 million. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position that the proposed assessment is erroneous and believes the resolution of this matter will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or its results of operations. Of the levied assessment, $19.3 million relates to managed vessels whose owner would be responsible to reimburse any potential payment.

Nature Of Operations And Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis Of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 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 fairly present the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2012, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, its comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, its changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2012, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011. 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 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, 2011.

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

Discontinued Operations, Policy

Discontinued Operations. The Company's Environmental Services business segment was conducted through SEACOR Environmental Services Inc. ("SES") and O'Brien's Response Management Inc. ("ORM"). SES included National Response Corporation, one of the largest providers of oil spill response services in the United States; NRC Environmental Services Inc., a leading provider of environmental and industrial services on the West Coast of the United States; SEACOR Response Ltd., which provides oil spill response and emergency response services to customers in international markets; and certain other subsidiaries (collectively the "SES Business"). On March 16, 2012, the Company sold the SES Business for a net sales price of $99.9 million and recognized a gain of $20.8 million, net of tax, or $1.00 per diluted share. The transaction did not include ORM, a leading provider of crisis and emergency preparedness and response services. The Company has no continuing involvement in the SES Business, although the sales agreement provides that the Company may receive contingent consideration equal to a portion of the revenue generated by any extraordinary oil spill response that occurs within three years following the date of sale. For all periods presented, the Company has reported the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the SES Business as discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The remaining ORM business in the segment was renamed Emergency and Crisis Services.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue that does not meet these criteria is deferred until the criteria are met. Deferred revenues, included in other current liabilities, for the six months ended June 30 were as follows (in thousands):

	2012			2011
Balance at beginning of period	$	9,968		$	21,045
Revenues deferred during the period	13,550			3,978
Revenues recognized during the period	(7,697		)	(8,334		)
Balance at end of period	$	15,821		$	16,689

As of June 30, 2012, deferred revenues included $6.4 million relating to the time charter of several offshore support vessels operating in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico that are scheduled to be paid through the conveyance of a limited net profit interest in developmental oil and gas producing properties owned by a customer. Payments from the conveyance of the limited net profit interest, and the timing of such payments, are contingent upon production and energy sale prices. Based on the current production payout estimate, the deferred revenues are expected to be paid in 2012. The Company will continue to recognize revenues as cash is received or earlier should future payments become determinable. All costs and expenses related to these charters were recognized as incurred.

As of June 30, 2012, deferred revenues included $7.3 million related to contract-lease revenues for certain helicopters leased by Aviation Services to Aeroleo Taxi Aero S/A ("Aeroleo"), its Brazilian joint venture (see Note 6). The deferral resulted from difficulties experienced by Aeroleo following one of its customer's cancellation of certain contracts for a number of AW139 aircraft under contract-lease from Aviation Services. The Company will recognize revenues as cash is received or earlier should future collectability become reasonably assured. All costs and expenses related to these contract-leases were recognized as incurred.

As of June 30, 2012, deferred revenues also included $2.0 million related to contract-lease revenues for certain helicopters leased by Aviation Services to one of its customers. The deferral resulted from the customer having its operating certificate revoked for a period of time and therefore being unable to operate. The certificate has since been reinstated but uncertainty still remains regarding the collectability of the contract-lease revenues. The Company will recognize revenues as cash is received or earlier should future collectability become reasonably assured. All costs and expenses related to these contract-leases were recognized as incurred.

______________________ 

(1) Effective July 1, 2011, the Company changed its estimated useful life and salvage value for helicopters from 12 to 15 years and 30% to 40%, respectively, due to improvements in new aircraft models that continue to increase their long-term value and make them viable for operation over a longer period of time. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, the change in estimate increased operating income by $4.4 million, net income by $2.9 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.14. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the change in estimate increased operating income by $8.4 million, net income by $5.4 million, and basic and diluted earnings per share by $0.26.

Fair Value Hedges. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company utilized forward currency exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges to fix a portion of its euro-denominated capital commitments in U.S. dollars to protect against currency fluctuations. As of June 30, 2012, there were no forward currency exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges.

The Company recognized gains (losses) on derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges for the six months ended June 30 as follows (in thousands):

	Derivative losses, net

Cash Flow Hedges. As of June 30, 2012, the Company is a party to various interest rate swap agreements, with maturities ranging from 2013 through 2014, which have been designated as cash flow hedges. These agreements call for the Company to pay fixed interest rates ranging from 2.25% to 2.85% on aggregate notional values of $125.0 million and receive a variable interest rate based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) on these notional values. As of June 30, 2012, one of the Company’s Offshore Marine Services 50% or less owned companies had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2015 that has been designated as a cash flow hedge. This instrument calls for the joint venture to pay a fixed interest rate of 1.48% on the amortized notional value of $18.9 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value. In addition, as of June 30, 2012, one of the Company’s Inland River Services 50% or less owned companies had four interest rate swap agreements with maturities ranging from 2013 through 2015 that have been designated as cash flow hedges. These instruments call for the joint venture to pay fixed rates of interest ranging from 1.53% to 4.16% on the aggregate amortized notional value of $46.6 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the aggregate amortized notional value. By entering into these interest rate swap agreements, the Company and its joint ventures have converted the variable LIBOR component of certain of their outstanding borrowings to a fixed interest rate.

The Company recognized gains (losses) on derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges for the six months ended June 30 as follows (in thousands):

The Company holds positions in publicly traded equity options that convey the right or obligation to engage in a future transaction on the underlying equity security or index. The Company’s investment in equity options primarily includes positions in energy, marine, transportation and other related businesses. These contracts are typically entered into to mitigate the risk of changes in the market value of marketable security positions that the Company is either about to acquire, has acquired or is about to dispose of.

The Company enters and settles forward currency exchange, option and future contracts with respect to various foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2012, the outstanding forward currency exchange contracts translated into a net purchase of foreign currencies with an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent of $18.6 million. These contracts enable the Company to buy currencies in the future at fixed exchange rates, which could offset possible consequences of changes in currency exchange rates with respect to the Company’s business conducted outside of the United States. The Company generally does not enter into contracts with forward settlement dates beyond twelve to eighteen months.

The Company has entered into various interest rate swap agreements with maturities ranging from 2012 through 2015 that call for the Company to pay fixed interest rates ranging from 1.67% to 2.59% on aggregate amortized notional values of $93.1 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on these notional values. In addition, one of the Company’s Offshore Marine Services 50% or less owned companies has entered into an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2014 that calls for the joint venture to pay a fixed interest rate of 3.05% on the amortized notional value of $24.8 million million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value. The general purpose of these interest rate swap agreements is to provide protection against increases in interest rates, which might lead to higher interest costs for the Company or its joint venture.

The Company enters and settles positions in various exchange and non-exchange traded commodity swap, option and future contracts. In the Company’s commodity trading and logistics business, fixed price future purchase and sale contracts for ethanol and sugar are included in the Company’s non-exchange traded derivative positions. The Company enters into exchange traded positions to protect these purchase and sale contracts as well as its inventory balances from market changes. As of June 30, 2012, the net market exposure to ethanol and sugar under these contracts was not material. The Company also enters into exchange traded positions (primarily natural gas, heating oil, crude oil, gasoline, ethanol and sugar) to provide value to the Company should there be a sustained decline in the price of commodities that could lead to a reduction in the market values and cash flows of the Company’s Offshore Marine Services and Inland River Services businesses. As of June 30, 2012, these positions were not material.

The Company enters and settles various positions in U.S. Treasury notes and bonds through rate locks, futures or options on futures tied to U.S. Treasury notes. The general purpose of these transactions is to provide value to the Company should the price of U.S. Treasury notes and bonds decline, leading to generally higher interest rates, which might lead to higher interest costs for the Company. As of June 30, 2012, there were none of these types of positions outstanding.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

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. An operating business segment has 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. Certain reclassifications of prior year information have been made to conform to the current year's reportable segment presentation as a result of the Company's presentation of discontinued operations (see Note 1). The Company’s basis of measurement of segment profit or loss is as previously described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The following tables summarize the operating results, capital expenditures and assets of the Company’s reportable segments.
