CSX CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. Basis of Presentation

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to fairly present the financial position of CSX Corporation and subsidiaries (“CSX” or the “Company”) at April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and the Consolidated Income and Cash Flow Statements for the quarters ended April 1, 2005 and March 26, 2004, such adjustments being of a normal recurring nature. Certain prior-year data have been reclassified to conform to the 2005 presentation.

     The Company suggests that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report and Form 10-K.

     CSX follows a 52/53 week fiscal reporting calendar. Fiscal year 2005 consists of 52 weeks ending on December 30, 2005. Fiscal year 2004 consisted of a 53-week year ending on December 31, 2004. The financial statements presented are for the 13-week quarters ended April 1, 2005 and March 26, 2004. In 2004, the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2004, consisted of 14 weeks.

     Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss consists of the following:

                         
    Balance     Net Gain     Balance  
(Dollars in Millions)   December 31, 2004     (Loss)     April 1, 2005

  $ (292 )   $     $ (292 )
Fair Value of Fuel Derivatives
    72       67       139

Total
  $ (220 )   $ 66     $ (154 )
 
                 

     Other comprehensive income for the three months ended March 26, 2004 was $14 million primarily resulting from fuel hedging activities.

     CSX acquires auction rate securities and classifies these investments as available for sale. Accordingly, these investments are included in current assets as Short-term Investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. On the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements, purchases and sales of these assets are classified as investing activities.

Earnings Per Share:
               
Income from Continuing Operations
  $ 0.72     $ 0.13  
Discontinued Operations
    1.97       0.01

Net Earnings
  $ 2.56     $ 0.14  
 
           

     Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Earnings per share, assuming dilution, is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of potentially dilutive common shares from convertible debt and employee stock options and awards.

(Unaudited)

NOTE 2. Earnings Per Share, Continued

     Certain potentially dilutive common shares at April 1, 2005 and March 26, 2004 were excluded from the computation of earnings per share, assuming dilution, since their related option exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares during the period. The following table indicates information about potentially dilutive common shares excluded from the computation of earnings per share:

                 
    Quarters Ended  
    April 1, 2005     March 26, 2004  
Number of Shares (Thousands)
    7,431       18,400  
Average Exercise / Conversion Price
  $ 47.16     $ 42.43  

     In September 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached a consensus on Issue No. 04-8, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings Per Share.” The EITF states that contingently convertible debt instruments are subject to the “if-converted” method under SFAS 128, Earnings Per Share, regardless of fulfillment of any of the contingent features included in the instrument. Consequently, CSX is required to include approximately 10 million shares underlying its convertible debt instrument using the “if-converted” method in the computation of earnings per share, assuming dilution. Additionally, earnings per share, assuming dilution, has been restated for all prior periods presented.

     A substantial increase in the fair market value of the Company’s stock price could trigger contingent conditions for conversion and allow holders to convert their debentures into CSX common stock and thus negatively impact basic earnings per share.

NOTE 3. Discontinued Operations

     CSX sold its International Terminals business on February 22, 2005 for closing cash consideration of $1.142 billion, subject to final working capital and long-term debt adjustments that have yet to be determined. Of the gross proceeds, approximately $110 million was paid for the purchase of a minority interest in an International Terminals’ subsidiary, acquired during the first quarter of 2005 and divested as part of the sale to Dubai Ports International FZE. Other related cash transaction costs amounted to approximately $32 million. The Company expects to tender substantial income tax payments attributable to the transaction. The Company is considering various options regarding the use of net cash proceeds including, but not limited to, reduction of debt and other general corporate purposes.

     CSX recognized income of $683 million pretax, $428 million after tax, for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 as a result of the sale. Discontinued Operations for the three months ended April 1, 2005 also includes an after-tax loss on operations of $3 million from the International Terminals business.

     The results of operations and financial position of the Company’s former International Terminals business are reported as Discontinued Operations for all periods presented. Additional information about the sale is included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

NOTE 4. Debt and Credit Agreements

     In February 2004, the Company executed a $100 million bank financing that matured February 25, 2005, which bore interest at a rate that varied with LIBOR plus an applicable spread. The Company settled this obligation with cash at maturity.

     In December 2003, CSX executed a $75 million revolving loan facility with a maturity date in 2005. Borrowings under the facility bore interest at a rate that fluctuated with LIBOR. In addition, the Company paid an annual commitment fee of 0.15% for the period the facility was not drawn. As of December 31, 2004, the Company had $75 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding under this borrowing. In January 2005, the Company paid this obligation in full with cash.

     The Company has a $1.2 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit facility expiring in May 2009 and a $400 million 364-day unsecured revolving credit facility expiring in May 2005, which the Company expects to renew for an additional 364-day period. The facilities were entered into in May 2004 on terms substantially similar to the facilities they replaced: a $345 million unsecured revolving credit facility that expired in May 2004 and a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that would have expired in May 2006. Generally, these facilities may be used for general corporate purposes, to support the Company’s commercial paper, and for working capital. Neither of the credit facilities was drawn on as of April 1, 2005. Commitment fees and interest rates payable under the facilities are similar to fees and rates available to comparably rated investment-grade borrowers. Similar to the credit facilities they replaced, these credit facilities allow for borrowings at floating (LIBOR-based) rates, plus a spread, depending upon our senior unsecured debt ratings. At April 1, 2005, the Company was in compliance with all covenant requirements under the facilities.

NOTE 5. Divestitures

     In February 2003, CSX conveyed most of its interest in its domestic container-shipping subsidiary, CSX Lines, to a new venture formed with The Carlyle Group. CSX Lines was subsequently renamed Horizon Lines LLC. Horizon subleased vessels and equipment from certain affiliates of CSX covering the primary financial obligations related to $249 million of leases under which CSX or one of its affiliates will remain a lessee / sublessor or guarantor. A deferred pretax gain of approximately $127 million as a result of the transaction is being recognized over the 12-year sublease term. The securities contained a term of 7 years and a preferred return feature. During the third quarter of 2003, CSX received a $15 million payment from Horizon Lines, which included $3 million of interest, in return of a portion of its investment in Horizon.

     In July 2004, Horizon was acquired by an unrelated third party, and CSX received $59 million, which included $48 million for the purchase of its ownership interest in Horizon, $4 million of interest, and a performance payment of $7 million, which will also be recognized over the 12-year sub-lease term. However, CSX and one of its affiliates will continue to remain a lessee / sublessor or guarantor on certain vessels and equipment as long as the subleases remain in effect. (See Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies.)

     CSX sold its International Terminals business on February 22, 2005. (See Note 3. Discontinued Operations.)

     SFAS 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure — an amendment of SFAS 123” was issued in December 2002. SFAS 148 amends SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” to provide alternative methods of transition to Statement 123’s fair value method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and requires disclosure of the effects of an entity’s accounting policy with respect to stock-based employee compensation. Effective beginning with fiscal year 2003, CSX has voluntarily adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 and adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS 148. In accordance with the prospective method of adoption permitted under SFAS 148, stock-based awards issued subsequent to fiscal year 2002 are accounted for under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 utilizing the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation method and, accordingly, are expensed.

     The Company recognized pretax expense of $1 million and $7 million in fiscal quarters ended April 1, 2005, and March 26, 2004, respectively, for stock options granted in May 2003. Stock compensation expense for the fiscal quarter ended March 26, 2004 includes $5 million pretax recorded in conjunction with the Company’s management restructuring related to recognition of unamortized expense for 2003 stock option awards retained by terminated employees (see Note 16. Management Restructuring). In addition to stock option expense, stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income consists of restricted stock awards, stock issued to directors and the Company’s long-term incentive compensation program for all periods presented.

     The following table illustrates the pro forma effect on net earnings and earnings per share as if the fair value based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period:

NOTE 6. New Accounting Pronouncements, Continued

     On December 16, 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 123(R), “Share-Based Payment”, which is a revision of SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”. Currently, the Company uses the Black-Scholes-Merton formula to estimate the value of stock options granted to employees and expects to continue to use this acceptable option valuation model upon the required adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006. Because SFAS 123(R) must be applied not only to new awards but to previously granted awards that are not fully vested on the effective date, and because the Company adopted SFAS 123 using the prospective transition method (which applied only to awards granted, modified or settled after the adoption date), compensation cost for some previously granted awards that were not recognized under SFAS 123 will be recognized under SFAS 123(R). However, had CSX adopted SFAS 123(R) in prior periods, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of SFAS 123 as described in the disclosure of pro forma net income and earnings per share above. SFAS 123(R) also requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation cost to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow as required under current literature. This requirement will reduce net operating cash flows and increase net financing cash flows in periods after adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 123(R) on its consolidated financial statements, but does not expect the impact to be material.

     In 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” which requires a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to be consolidated by a company that is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the VIE’s activities or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s residual returns, or both. Interpretation No. 46 also requires disclosures about VIEs that a company is not required to consolidate but in which it has a significant variable interest. Also in 2003, Interpretation 46 (“46R”), a revision to FASB Interpretation No. 46, was issued to clarify some of the provisions of, and to exempt certain entities from, Interpretation 46 requirements. Under the rules of the new guidance, CSX consolidated Four Rivers Transportation (“FRT”), a shortline railroad, into its financial statements at the beginning of fiscal year 2004. The adoption of Interpretation No. 46 will not have a material impact on results of operations in future reporting periods. Previously, FRT was accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

NOTE 7. Investment in and Integrated Rail Operations with Conrail

     In August 2004, the ownership of portions of the Conrail Inc. (“Conrail”) system already operated by CSX Transportation, Inc (“CSXT”) and Norfolk Southern Railway Company (“NSR”), were transferred to and therefore directly owned by CSXT and NSR, and the parties consummated an exchange offer of new unsecured securities for unsecured securities of Conrail. Conrail’s secured debt and lease obligations are supported by new leases and subleases which became the direct lease and sublease obligations of CSXT and NSR.

     The Company recorded this transaction at fair value based on the results of an independent valuation. Since September 2004, the impact of the transaction has been included in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Income Statements.

     As a result of the transaction, the assets and liabilities transferred to CSXT are reflected in their respective line items in CSX’s Consolidated Balance Sheet.

     Additional information about this transaction is included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.

Accounting and Financial Reporting Effects

     Prior to the spin-off transaction, CSX’s rail and intermodal operating revenue includes revenue from traffic moving on Conrail property. Operating expenses include costs incurred to handle such traffic and operate the Conrail lines. Rail operating expense includes an expense category, “Conrail Rents, Fees and Services,” which reflects:

  1.   Right-of-way usage fees to Conrail through August 2004.
 
  2.   Equipment rental payments to Conrail through August 2004.
 
  3.   Transportation, switching, and terminal service charges provided by Conrail in the Shared Assets Areas that Conrail operates for the joint benefit of CSX and NSR.
 
  4.   Amortization of the fair value write-up arising from the acquisition of Conrail and certain other adjustments.
 
  5.   CSX’s 42% share of Conrail’s income before the cumulative effect of accounting change recognized under the equity method of accounting.

     Conrail will continue to own, manage, and operate the Shared Assets Areas for the joint benefit of CSXT and NSR. However, the spin-off transaction effectively decreased rents paid to Conrail after the transaction date, as some assets previously leased from Conrail are now owned by CSXT.

     On March 31, 2005, CSXT executed a long-term promissory note with a subsidiary of Conrail for $23 million which is included in Long-term Debt in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of April 1, 2005. The note bears interest at 4.52% and matures on March 31, 2035.

     The agreement under which CSXT operated its allocated portion of the Conrail route system was terminated upon consummation of the spin-off transaction as CSXT then became the direct owner of its allocated portion of the Conrail system. Agreements for subleasing Conrail equipment operated by CSXT cover varying terms. CSXT is responsible for all costs of operating, maintaining, and improving the equipment under these agreements.

NOTE 8. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

     The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for the estimated probable losses on uncollectible accounts and other receivables. The allowance is based upon the credit worthiness of customers, historical experience, the age of the receivable and current market and economic conditions. Uncollectible amounts are charged against the allowance account. The allowance for doubtful accounts is maintained against both current and long-term asset accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts of $118 million and $95 million is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004.

NOTE 11. Derivative Financial Instruments

     CSX uses derivative financial instruments to manage its overall exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and fuel costs.

Interest Rate Swaps

     CSX has entered into various interest rate swap agreements on the following fixed rate notes:

                 
    Notional Amount     Fixed Interest  
Maturity Date   (Millions)     Rate  
June 22, 2005
    50       6.46 %
August 15, 2006
    300       9.00 %
May 1, 2007
    450       7.45 %
May 1, 2032
    150       8.30 %
 
             
Total/Average
  $ 950       8.02 %
 
           

     Under these agreements, the Company will pay variable interest based on LIBOR in exchange for a fixed rate, effectively transforming the notes to floating rate obligations. The interest rate swap agreements are designated and qualify as fair value hedges and the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the fixed rate note attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current earnings during the period of change in fair values. Hedge effectiveness is measured at least quarterly based on the relative change in fair value of the derivative contract in comparison with changes over time in the fair value of the fixed rate notes. Any change in fair value resulting from ineffectiveness, as defined by SFAS 133, “Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” is recognized immediately in earnings. The Company’s interest rate swaps qualify as perfectly effective fair value hedges, as defined by SFAS 133. As such, there was no ineffective portion to the hedge recognized in earnings during the current or prior year periods. Long-term debt has been increased by $14 million and $26 million for the fair market value of the interest rate swap agreements at April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

     The differential to be paid or received under these agreements is accrued based on the terms of the agreements and is recognized in interest expense over the term of the related debt. The related amounts payable to or receivable from counterparties are included in other current liabilities or assets. Cash flows related to interest rate swap agreements are classified as Operating Activities in the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements. For the quarters ended April 1, 2005 and March 26, 2004, the Company reduced interest expense by approximately $5 million and $13 million, respectively, as a result of the interest rate swap agreements that were in place during each period. Fair value adjustments are non-cash transactions and, accordingly, have no cash impact on the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements.

     The counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements expose the Company to credit loss in the event of non-performance. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

NOTE 11. Derivative Financial Instruments, Continued

Fuel Hedging

     In the third quarter of 2003, CSX began a program to hedge a portion of its future locomotive fuel purchases. This program was established to manage exposure to fuel price fluctuations. In order to minimize this risk, CSX has entered into a series of swaps in order to fix the price of a portion of its estimated future fuel purchases.

     Following is a summary of outstanding fuel swaps:

         
    April 1,  
    2005  
Approximate Gallons Hedged (Millions)
    271  
Average Price Per Gallon
  $ 0.80  
Swap Maturities
  April 2005 - July 2006
                 
    2005     2006  
Estimated % of Future Fuel Purchases Hedged at April 1, 2005
    47 %     9 %
 
           

     The program limits fuel hedges to a 24-month duration and a maximum of 80% of CSX’s average monthly fuel purchased for any month within the 24-month period, and places the hedges among selected counterparties. Fuel hedging activity favorably impacted fuel expense for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 by $51 million. There was no material impact on fuel expense for the quarter ended March 26, 2004. Ineffectiveness, or the extent to which changes in the fair values of the fuel swaps did not offset changes in the fair values of the expected fuel purchases, was immaterial.

     These instruments qualify, and are designated by management, as cash-flow hedges of variability in expected future cash flows attributable to fluctuations in fuel prices. The fair values of fuel derivative instruments are determined based upon current fair market values as quoted by third party dealers and are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets with offsetting adjustments to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss, a component of Shareholders’ Equity. Amounts are reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss as the underlying fuel that was hedged is consumed by rail operations. Fair value adjustments are non-cash transactions and, accordingly, have no cash impact on the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements. See Note 1. Basis of Presentation, for the impact of fuel hedging activity on Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss.

     The Company has temporarily suspended entering into new swaps in its fuel hedge program since the third quarter of 2004. The Company will continue to monitor and assess the current issues facing the global fuel market place to decide when to resume hedging under the program.

     The counterparties to the fuel hedge agreements expose the Company to credit loss in the event of non-performance. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by the counterparties.

Casualty Reserves

     Casualty reserves represent accruals for the uninsured portion of personal injury and occupational injury claims.

Personal Injury

     CSX retains an independent actuarial firm to assist management in assessing the value of CSX’s personal injury portfolio. An analysis is performed by the independent actuarial firm semi-annually. The methodology used by the actuary includes a development factor to reflect growth in the value of the Company’s personal injury claims. This methodology is based largely on CSX’s historical claims and settlement activity. Actual results may vary from estimates due to the type and severity of the injury, costs of medical treatments, and uncertainties surrounding the litigation process. Reserves for personal injury claims are $388 million and $383 million at April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

     While the final outcome of casualty-related matters cannot be predicted with certainty, considering among other things the meritorious legal defenses available and liabilities that have been recorded, it is the opinion of CSX management that none of these items, when finally resolved, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or liquidity. However, should a number of these items occur in the same period, it could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year.

Occupational

     Occupational claims include allegations of exposure to certain materials in the work place, such as asbestos, solvents, and diesel fuel, or alleged physical injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome or hearing loss.

     The Company is party to a number of occupational claims by employees exposed to asbestos in the workplace. The heaviest exposure for CSX employees was due to work conducted in and around the use of steam locomotive engines that were phased out between the early 1950’s and late 1960’s. However, other types of exposures, including exposure from locomotive component parts and building materials, continued after 1967, until it was substantially eliminated by 1985.

NOTE 12. Casualty, Environmental and Other Reserves, Continued

     Asbestos and other occupational claim filings against the Company have been inconsistent. Accordingly, while the Company had concluded that a probable loss had occurred, it did not believe it could estimate the range of reasonably possible loss because of the lack of experience with such claims and the lack of detailed employment records for the population of exposed employees. Claim filings increased and when they continued into 2003, the Company concluded that an estimate for incurred but not reported asbestos exposure liability needed to be recorded.

     CSX engaged a third party, who has extensive experience in performing asbestos and other occupational studies, to assist in assessing the unasserted liability exposure. The analysis is performed by the specialist semi-annually. The objective of the analysis is to determine the number of estimated incurred but not reported claims and the estimated average cost per claim to be received over the next seven years. Seven years was determined by management to be the time period in which claim filings and claim values could be estimated with more certainty.

     The methodology used by the specialists includes an estimate of future anticipated claims based on the Company’s average historical claim filing rates, future anticipated dismissal rates and settlement rates. CSX’s future liability for incurred but not reported claims is estimated by multiplying the future anticipated claims by the average settlement values.

     A summary of existing asbestos and other occupational claims activity is as follows:

                 
    Quarter Ended     Year Ended  
    April 1, 2005     December 31, 2004  
Asserted Claims:
               
Open Claims — Beginning of Period
    11,460       13,478  
New Claims Filed
    273       1,178  
Claims Settled
    (354 )     (2,758 )
Claims Dismissed
    (40 )     (438 )
 
           
Open Claims — End of Period
    11,339       11,460  
 
           

     The amounts recorded by CSX for the occupational liabilities are based upon currently known facts. Projecting future events, such as the number of new claims to be filed each year, the average cost of disposing of claims, as well as the numerous uncertainties surrounding asbestos and other occupational litigation in the United States, could cause the actual costs to be higher or lower than projected.

     Reserves for asbestos related claims are $205 million and $212 million at April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. Reserves for other occupational related claims are $108 million and $110 million at April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively.

NOTE 12. Casualty, Environmental and Other Reserves, Continued

Environmental Reserves

     CSX is a party to various proceedings, including administrative and judicial proceedings, involving private parties and regulatory agencies related to environmental issues. CSX has been identified as a PRP at approximately 251 environmentally impaired sites, many of which are, or may be, subject to remedial action under the Superfund or similar state statutes. A number of these proceedings are based on allegations that CSX, or its railroad predecessors, sent hazardous substances to the facilities in question for disposal.

     In addition, some of CSX’s land holdings are and have been used for industrial or transportation-related purposes or leased to commercial or industrial companies whose activities may have resulted in releases onto the property. Therefore, CSX is subject to environmental cleanup and enforcement actions including under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), also known as the Superfund law, as well as similar state laws that may impose joint and several liability for cleanup and enforcement costs on current and former owners and operators of a site without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, which could be substantial. In the fourth quarter of 2004, CSX added $6 million of Conrail environmental claims, due to the Conrail spin-off transaction.

     At least once a quarter, CSX reviews its role with respect to each site identified. Based on the review process, CSX has recorded reserves to cover estimated contingent future environmental costs with respect to such sites. Environmental costs are charged to expense when they relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and do not contribute to current or future revenue generation. The recorded liabilities for estimated future environmental costs at April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004 were $60 million and $59 million, respectively. These liabilities, which are undiscounted, include amounts representing CSX’s estimate of unasserted claims, which CSX believes to be immaterial. The liability includes future costs for all sites where the Company’s obligation is (1) deemed probable and (2) where such costs can be reasonably estimated. The liability includes future costs for remediation and restoration of sites as well as any significant ongoing monitoring costs, but excludes any anticipated insurance recoveries.

     The Company does not currently possess sufficient information to reasonably estimate the amounts of additional liabilities, if any, on some sites until completion of future environmental studies. In addition, latent conditions at any given location could result in exposure, the amount and materiality of which cannot presently be reliably estimated. Based upon information currently available, however, the Company believes its environmental reserves are adequate to accomplish remedial actions to comply with present laws and regulations, and that the ultimate liability for these matters, if any, will not materially affect its overall results of operations and financial condition.

Separation Liability

     Separation liabilities at April 1, 2005 and December 31, 2004 provide for the estimated costs of implementing workforce reductions, improvements in productivity and other cost reductions at the Company’s major transportation units since 1991. These liabilities are expected to be paid out over the next 15 to 20 years through general corporate funds.

NOTE 13. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

     The Company has a commitment under a long-term maintenance program for approximately 40% of CSX’s fleet of locomotives. The agreement expires in 2026 and approximates $5.8 billion. The long-term maintenance program is intended to provide CSX access to efficient, high-quality locomotive maintenance services at fixed price levels through the term of the program. Under the program, CSX paid $41 million and $37 million for the quarters ending April 1, 2005 and March 26, 2004, respectively.

     The Company has various commitments to purchase technology and communications services. The terms for the various agreements call for CSX to pay $36 million, $29 million and $26 million for the fiscal years ending 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively. The largest obligation is for purchased communications services of $24 million per year for the years 2005 through 2007.

STB Proceeding

     In 2001 Duke Energy Corporation (“Duke”) filed a complaint before the STB alleging that certain CSX common carrier coal rates were unreasonably high. In February 2004, the STB issued a decision finding that the CSX common carrier rates were reasonable. While approving the rate levels, the STB also invited Duke to request a phase-in of rate increases over some time period. The nature and amount of any such phase-in is uncertain, and would only apply to billings subsequent to December 2001. In October 2004, the STB issued a decision denying Duke’s petition for reconsideration of its February 2004 ruling. In November 2004, Duke advised the STB that it would request phase-in relief, and filed a Petition for Review of the STB’s decisions in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. CSX will continue to consider and pursue all available legal defenses in this matter. Administrative proceedings and legal appeals could take several years to resolve. A favorable outcome could result in gain realization in amounts that could be material to results of operations in the quarters received.

Self-Insurance

     The Company uses a combination of third-party and self-insurance, obtaining substantial amounts of commercial insurance for potential losses for third-party liability and property damages. Specified levels of risk (up to $35 million for property and $25 million for liability per occurrence) are retained on a self-insurance basis.

NOTE 13. Commitments and Contingencies, Continued

Guarantees

     The Company and its subsidiaries are contingently liable individually and jointly with others as guarantors of obligations principally relating to leased equipment, joint ventures and joint facilities used by the Company in its business operations. Utilizing the Company’s guarantee for these obligations allows the obligor to take advantage of lower interest rates and obtain other favorable terms. Guarantees are contingent commitments issued by the Company that could require CSX or one of its affiliates to make payment to or to perform certain actions for the guaranteed party based on another entity’s failure to perform. As of April 1, 2005, the Company’s guarantees can be segregated into two main categories:

  1.   Guarantees of approximately $314 million of lease commitments assumed by A.P. Moller-Maersk (“Maersk”) for which the Company is contingently liable. CSX believes Maersk will fulfill its contractual commitments with respect to such leases, and CSX will have no further liabilities for those obligations.
 
  2.   Guarantees of approximately $249 million relating to leases assumed as part of CSX’s conveyance of its interest in CSX Lines in February 2003, as discussed in Note 5. Divestitures.

     Upon consummation of the sale of the International Terminals business in the first quarter of 2005, the Company was no longer liable for the guarantees related to construction and cash deficiency support at several of the Company’s international terminals locations under development.

     The maximum amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these guarantees is the amount of the guarantees themselves.

Other Legal Proceedings

     CSX is involved in routine litigation incidental to its business and is a party to a number of legal actions and claims, various governmental proceedings and private civil lawsuits, including those related to environmental matters, Federal Employers’ Liability Act claims by employees, other personal injury claims, and disputes and complaints involving certain transportation rates and charges. Some of the legal proceedings include claims for compensatory as well as punitive damages, and others purport to be class actions. While the final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, considering among other things, the meritorious legal defenses available and liabilities that have been recorded along with applicable insurance, it is the opinion of CSX management that none of these items will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations, financial position or liquidity of CSX. However, an unexpected adverse resolution of one or more of these items could have a material adverse effect on the results of operations in a particular quarter or fiscal year. The Company is also party to a number of actions, the resolution of which could result in gain realization in amounts that could be material to results of operations in the quarters received.

NOTE 14. Business Segments

     The Company operates in two business segments: rail and intermodal. The rail segment provides rail freight transportation over a network of more than 22,000 route miles in 23 states, the District of Columbia and two Canadian provinces. The intermodal segment provides integrated rail and truck transportation services and operates a network of dedicated intermodal facilities across North America. The Company’s segments are strategic business units that offer different services and are managed separately. The rail and intermodal segments are also viewed on a combined basis as Surface Transportation operations.

     The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on several factors, of which the primary financial measure is business segment operating income. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies (Note 1) in the CSX 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Intersegment sales and transfers are generally accounted for as if the sales or transfers were to third parties, at current market prices.

     The International Terminals business segment has been reclassified to Discontinued Operations. (See Note 3. Discontinued Operations.)

     Business segment information for the quarters ended April 1, 2005 and March 26, 2004 is as follows:

NOTE 15. Employee Benefit Plans

     The Company sponsors defined benefit pension plans, principally for salaried, non-contract personnel. The plans provide eligible employees with retirement benefits based predominantly on years of service and compensation rates near retirement.

     In addition to the defined benefit pension plans, the Company sponsors one medical plan and one life insurance plan that provide benefits to full-time, salaried, non-contract employees hired prior to January 1, 2003, upon their retirement if certain eligibility requirements are met. The postretirement medical plans are contributory (partially funded by retirees), with retiree contributions adjusted annually. The life insurance plan is non-contributory.

     The following table presents components of net periodic benefit cost:

                                 
(Dollars in Millions)   Pension Benefits     Other Benefits  
    April 1,     March 26,     April 1,     March 26,

Net Periodic Benefit Cost, Including Termination Benefits
  $ 12     $ 15     $ 10     $ 26  
 
                       

     The Company expects to contribute $2 million to its pension plan in 2005.

     Due to the termination of employees under the management restructuring plan (see Note 16. Management Restructuring), a curtailment occurred in the Company’s defined benefit pension plans and postretirement medical plan. The estimated cost of the curtailments of $21 million was included in the management restructuring charge for the quarter ended March 26, 2004.

NOTE 16. Management Restructuring

     During 2004, Surface Transportation incurred restructuring charges related to the November 2003 management restructuring plan to streamline the structure, eliminate organizational layers and realign certain functions. For the quarter ended March 26, 2004, the Company recorded expense of $53 million for separation expense, pension and post-retirement benefit curtailment charges, stock compensation expense and other related expenses.

NOTE 17. Summarized Consolidating Financial Data

     During 1987, a subsidiary of the Company entered into agreements to sell and lease back, by charter, three new U.S.–built, U.S.–flag, D-7 class container ships. CSX has guaranteed certain obligations which, along with the container ships, serve as collateral for debt securities registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Another CSX entity became the obligor in 2003. In accordance with SEC disclosure requirements, consolidating summarized financial information for the parent and obligor follows. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2005 Surface Transportation Highlights and Challenges

Revenue

     The first quarter of 2005 marked the 12th consecutive quarter of year-over-year revenue growth. Revenue increased 10% or $188 million year-over-year driven primarily by increased demand for coal due to both increased electricity generation and rebuilding of utility stockpile inventory. In addition, demand created from a generally strong industrial economy, continued yield management strategies and the Company’s fuel surcharge program, drove the merchandise market to record revenue levels.

Volume

     Overall volume during the first quarter of 2005 increased 1% versus last year. Volume growth achieved by coal traffic was partially offset by volume decreases from CSXI’s Network Simplification Initiative (“NSI”). NSI eliminated 26 weekly train starts in an effort to improve overall contribution by consolidating volumes on fewer trains.

Fuel Costs and Fuel Surcharge Program

     Fuel expenses increased 16% to $179 million in the first quarter, net of $51 million of fuel hedging benefits, due principally to the rising price per gallon of diesel fuel. The average price per gallon of diesel fuel, including benefits from CSX’s fuel hedging program, was $1.1397 in the first quarter of 2005 versus $1.0171 in the first quarter of 2004. In addition, the fuel surcharge programs within Surface Transportation and contractual cost escalation clauses used in most multi-year customer contracts partially offset fuel cost increases.

Operations

     As illustrated in the table below, key measures of network performance declined versus prior year. The Company continued to refine the operating network plan through the execution of the ONE Plan. While automotive network performance improved during the first quarter, overall service measurements declined. CSX remains focused on improving its operating performance through this process, which ultimately is expected to result in more reliable service and lower operating costs.

International Terminals Divestiture

     CSX recognized income of $683 million pretax, $428 million after tax, for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 as a result of the sale of its International Terminals business in February 2005. Discontinued Operations for the three months ended April 1, 2005 also includes an after-tax loss on operations of $3 million from the International Terminals business.

2005 Expectations

Revenue

     Revenue growth is expected to continue to outpace volume growth in 2005 due to a continued emphasis on price. Lower contributory traffic is either being re-priced or replaced by longer haul, more profitable business. The amount of any revenue and volume increase depends on several factors:

Economy: Favorable economic conditions are expected based on the forecasts for key economic indicators such as the gross domestic product, industrial and automotive production as well as overall import levels. Generally, CSX’s revenue is fairly diversified and a large portion is relatively insensitive to significant fluctuations in the general economy. However, changes in the macro economic environment do impact overall revenue growth.

Operational Performance: Service is expected to improve with more consistent execution of the ONE Plan, which should result in improved average velocity and a more reliable service product. Consequently, additional volume may be captured as freight car availability increases due to improved asset utilization and reduced transit times. If service does not improve, volume growth could be flat to slightly negative.

Fuel Prices: Because of the fuel surcharge program and cost escalation clauses in long-term contracts, which include a fuel element, a portion of CSX’s revenue varies with the price of fuel, but these mechanisms only partially offset the inflation in fuel prices.

Operations

     Improvement in key operating measurements is targeted in 2005. Several factors can affect overall service levels:

Availability of Resources: Locomotive and train and engine employee availability are critical to operating plan execution. Management believes current resource plans, which include hiring additional train and engine employees and the acquisition of 100 new locomotives, will be sufficient to manage anticipated volume while improving service levels.

Volume: If volume growth significantly exceeds management’s expectations, additional train crew hiring and locomotive resources may be required, depending on the type and location of the volume growth. Deployment of additional resources could lag any surge in demand by several months due to the time required to hire and train employees or secure additional locomotives, subject to availability, which could negatively impact overall service levels during that period.

Risk Factors

Competition

     The Company experiences competition from other transportation providers including railroads and motor carriers that operate similar routes across its service area, and to a less significant extent barges, ships, and pipelines. Transportation providers such as motor carriers and barges utilize public rights-of-way that are built and maintained by governmental entities while CSX and other railroads must build and maintain rail networks through the utilization of internal resources. If the scope and quality of these alternative methods of transportation are materially increased, or if legislation is passed providing materially greater opportunity for motor carriers with respect to size or weight restrictions, there could be a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Employees and Labor Union Relationships

     The Company considers employee relations with most of its unions generally to be good. Most of CSX’s employees are represented by labor unions and are covered by collective bargaining agreements. The bargaining agreements contain a moratorium clause that precludes serving new bargaining demands until a certain date. These agreements, which usually are bargained nationally by the National Railway Labor Conference (“NRLC”), normally contain the same moratorium date so all bargaining on agreement changes generally begins at approximately the same time. A round of bargaining started in 2000 when the moratorium provisions expired. Agreements have been reached with all but one of the unions. Negotiations with the union representing the machinists are in mediation. The machinists have asked the National Mediation Board to be released from mediation and the railroads have opposed that request. The machinists have sued the National Mediation Board seeking an order directing their release from mediation.

     Also, the agreements which were concluded in the 2000 bargaining round are now open for renegotiation. The process of renegotiating these agreements commenced in early November 2004 when the parties were free to serve their bargaining demands. The outcome of the 2004 round of negotiations is uncertain at this time.

     In the rail industry, negotiations have generally taken place over a number of years and previously have not resulted in any extended work stoppages. The existing agreements continue to remain in effect until new agreements are reached. The parties are not permitted to either strike or lockout until the Railway Labor Act’s lengthy procedures (which include mediation, cooling-off periods, and the possibility of Presidential intervention) are exhausted.

Environmental Laws and Regulation

     The Company’s operations are subject to wide-ranging federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations concerning, among other things, emissions to the air, discharges to water and the handling, storage, transportation and disposal of waste and other materials and cleanup of hazardous material or petroleum releases. The Company generates and transports hazardous and non-hazardous waste and materials in its current operations, and it has done so in its former operations. In certain circumstances, environmental liability can extend to formerly owned or operated properties, leased properties and properties owned by third parties, as well as to properties currently owned and used by the Company. Environmental liabilities have arisen and may also arise from claims asserted by adjacent landowners or other third parties in toxic tort litigation. The Company has been and may be subject to allegations or findings to the effect that it has violated, or is strictly liable under, environmental laws or regulations, and such violations can result in the Company’s incurring fines, penalties or costs relating to the cleanup of environmental contamination. Although the Company has appropriately recorded current and long-term liabilities for known future environmental costs, it could incur significant costs as a result of any of the foregoing, and may be required to incur significant expenses to investigate and remediate known, unknown or future environmental contamination, which could have a material adverse effect on results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

Fuel Costs

     Fuel costs represent a significant expense of the Company’s Surface Transportation operations. Fuel prices can vary significantly from period to period and significant increases may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results. Furthermore, fuel prices and supply are influenced considerably by international political and economic circumstances. If a fuel supply shortage arose from OPEC production restrictions, a disruption of oil imports or otherwise, fuel shortages, higher fuel prices and any subsequent price increases could, despite the Company’s fuel surcharge programs, materially adversely affect our operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

Future Acts of Terrorism or War

     Terrorist attacks, such as those that occurred on September 11, 2001, or in Madrid, Spain on March 11, 2004, any government response thereto or war may adversely affect results of operations, financial condition and liquidity. The Company’s rail lines and physical plant may be direct targets or indirect casualties of acts of terror, which could cause significant business interruption and result in increased costs and liabilities and decreased revenues and have a material adverse effect on operating results, financial condition or liquidity. In addition, insurance premiums charged for some or all of the coverage currently maintained by the Company could increase dramatically or the coverage may no longer be available.

Regulation and Legislation

     The Company is subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the Surface Transportation Board (“STB”) of the United States Department of Transportation (“DOT”), the Federal Railroad Administration of DOT and other state and federal regulatory agencies as to rail operations and for a variety of health, safety, labor, environmental and other matters. Legislation passed by Congress or regulations issued by these organizations can significantly affect the costs and profitability of the Company’s business. In addition, the failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

     In response to the heightened threat of terrorism in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, federal, state and local governmental bodies are proposing and beginning to adopt various legislation and regulations relating to security issues that affect the transportation industry, including rules and regulations that affect the transportation of hazardous materials. Although the Company and the Federal Government has secured favorable filings from the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and the Surface Transportation Board, legal proceedings continue and the ultimate outcome is uncertain. The extent to which other governmental bodies will ultimately take similar or related steps is also uncertain. Any legislation, regulations, or rules enacted by federal, state or local governmental bodies relating to security issues that affect rail and intermodal transportation have the potential to materially adversely affect the Company’s operations and costs.

Safety

     The Company faces inherent business risk of exposure to property damage and personal injury claims in the event of train accidents, including derailments. The Company is also subject to exposure to occupational injury claims. While the Company is working diligently to enhance its safety programs and to continue to raise the awareness levels of its employees concerning safety, the Company cannot ensure that it will not experience any material property damage, personal or occupational claims in the future or that it will not incur significant costs to defend such claims. Additionally, the Company cannot ensure that existing claims will not suffer adverse development not currently reflected in reserve estimates, as the ultimate outcome of existing claims is subject to numerous factors that are outside of the Company’s control. The Company engages outside parties to assist with the evaluation of certain of the occupational and personal injury claims, and believes that it is adequately reserved to cover all potential claims. However, final amounts determined to be due on any outstanding matters may differ materially from the recorded reserves.

Severe Weather

     The Company may face severe weather conditions and other natural occurrences, including floods, fires, hurricanes and earthquakes which may cause significant disruptions to the Company’s operations, and result in increased costs and liabilities and decreased revenues which could have a material adverse effect on operating results, financial condition and liquidity.

Consolidated Operating Revenue

     The three months ended April 1, 2005 demonstrated revenue growth increasing 10% or $188 million compared to the prior year comparable quarter primarily driven by yield management success, strong demand and the Company’s fuel surcharge program.

Consolidated Operating Income

     Consolidated operating expenses remained relatively flat as decreases in Conrail Rents, Fees and Services and the absence of the restructuring charges offset increases in other expense items. Overall consolidated operating income increased $202 million or 133% quarter over quarter.

37

CSX CORPORATION
ITEM 2: MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

Interest Expense

     Interest expense increased $6 million compared to the prior year comparable period due to the higher rate of Conrail debt included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of the Conrail asset transfer in August 2004 combined with rising short-term interest rates and decreased benefit from the Company’s interest rate swaps.

Income Tax Expense

     The income tax expense for the period ended April 1, 2005 increased $71 million compared to the prior year comparable quarter, which is the result of higher consolidated operating income offset by a one-time, non-cash deferred income tax expense reduction stemming from the enactment of income tax legislation in one jurisdiction during the period.

Net Earnings

     CSX consolidated net earnings for the period ended April 1, 2005 increased $549 million compared to the prior year comparable quarter as the Company recognized income of $683 million pretax, $428 million after tax, as a result of the sale of its International Terminals business.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued

Rail

Rail Operating Revenue

     Rail revenue increased $174 million or 11% for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 compared to the quarter ended March 26, 2004.

Merchandise

     Merchandise revenue was up 8% on relatively flat volume during the first quarter of 2005. All markets showed year-over-year improvement in revenue per car due to continued price increases and the Company’s fuel surcharge program.

  •   Phosphates and Fertilizers – Strength in revenue yield offset volume weakness and mix changes, as overall revenue grew 1%. Domestic phosphate demand was soft, causing interior phosphate revenue to fall by 24% while shorter haul export phosphate revenue grew 15%.
 
  •   Metals – Despite a 1% decline in volume, metals revenue grew 16% due to market pricing and favorable mix changes. Strong demand continues to sustain high levels of steel production, but the sources of the strength are beginning to shift from automotive to construction. Imports have also been strong.
 
  •   Forest Products – Paper markets produced significantly higher revenue despite lower volume in several lines of business. Volume strength in lumber and panel markets was offset by declines in several paper markets. U.S. newsprint demand dropped over 4% during the first two months of the year, while imports continue to affect domestic paper production.
 
  •   Food and Consumer – Volume was favorable by 7%, led by gains in building products and alcoholic beverages. Even stronger revenue gains of 19% were driven by continued yield management success and gains in transportation equipment.
 
  •   Agricultural Products – Volume was flat due to weakness in domestic beans and processed products markets. However, revenue was favorable on strength in export and ethanol shipments, as well as revenue per car increases in feed ingredients, sweeteners and flour.
 
  •   Chemicals – Revenue grew 7% on relatively flat volume. Gains were strongest in textile chemicals, bleach/paper chemicals, and petroleum products. The plastics market experienced volatility during the quarter as buyers reduced existing inventories; but revenue still grew 4%. Sand shipments were down due to car shortages and losses of marginal traffic.
 
  •   Emerging Markets – Volume was favorable overall as strength in most lines of business offset weakness in military shipments. Volume strength was primarily driven by growth in northern aggregates of 32% and salt of 23%. An unfavorable military mix impact, drove an overall decline in revenue per car.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued

Automotive

     Revenue increased 3% on flat volume as a result of yield improvements. North American light vehicle production decreased 179,285 units, or roughly 4%, year over year. Inventory levels remain high, at 69 days for most manufacturers and 79 days for the Big 3. Manufacturers are using production downtime and incentives to address excess inventory.

Coal, Coke and Iron Ore

     Overall coal, coke and iron ore revenues were favorable 20% year over year. Volume was favorable 9% or 38,000 carloads. Growth was driven by volume gains in export, industrial, coke, and northern utility markets. Revenue per car growth was the result of market price increases and the Company’s fuel surcharge program offsetting slightly unfavorable mix. All lines of business reflect favorable year over year revenue-per-car gains.

Rail Operating Expense

     Labor and Fringe expenses increased $16 million in the first quarter of 2005 versus the prior year quarter. The effects of inflation continue to drive labor and fringe expense increases, along with increases in incentive compensation. These costs were partially offset by benefits realized from reduced staffing levels.

     Materials, Supplies and Other expenses increased $45 million during the first quarter of 2005 as compared to the prior year quarter. The increase is associated with volume and inflation related expenses as well as an increase in expenses related to the resolution of certain legal matters and higher reserve requirements for non-trade uncollectible accounts.

     Depreciation increased $43 million for the first quarter of 2005 due to an increased depreciation base, mainly attributable to the Conrail transaction, as assets previously leased from Conrail are now owned directly by CSX.

     Fuel increased $25 million for the quarter versus the prior year due to higher fuel prices, net of hedging benefits.

     Conrail Rents, Fees and Services decreased $67 million for the quarter primarily due to the Conrail transaction completed in the third quarter of 2004. This transaction decreased rents paid to Conrail, as assets previously leased from Conrail are now owned directly by CSX.

     Restructuring Charge of $50 million represents the 2004 charge for separation expenses related to the management restructuring announced in November 2003 at Surface Transportation.

Rail Operating Income

     Operating income was $299 million for the quarter ended April 1, 2005 compared to $132 million for the quarter ended March 26, 2004.

Intermodal

Intermodal Operating Revenue

Domestic

     The Network Simplification Initiative (NSI), severe west coast weather and service issues led to a 17% decrease in volume. Market rate increases partially offset the volume reduction and significantly improved revenue per unit.

International

     Revenue gains were largely driven by increases in traffic on the core network. Decreases in off-core and transcontinental traffic were impacted by marketing changes and the west coast embargo which was caused by severe weather.

Other

     Overall revenue strength was driven by favorable changes in incentive refund programs, fuel surcharge and an increase in per-diem and supplemental charges related to asset utilization.

Intermodal Operating Expense

     Intermodal operating expense decreased $19 million, or 6%, compared to the prior year quarter, resulting primarily from reduction in volume associated with NSI and western linehaul routes unfavorably impacted by the significant weather on the west coast.

Intermodal Operating Income

     Intermodal operating income increased $33 million, or 174%, compared to the prior year quarter due to favorable changes in incentive refund programs, fuel surcharge and an increase in per-diem and supplemental charges related to asset utilization. Continued yield improvements in the domestic business segment are also driving the increase.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased $964 million to $1.8 billion at April 1, 2005, from $859 million at December 31, 2004. Net cash proceeds from the disposition of the Company’s International Terminals business is the primary source of cash and cash equivalents during the three months ended April 1, 2005. The Company is considering options regarding the use of net cash proceeds including reduction of debt and other corporate purposes.

     Other current assets increased $131 million to $288 million as of April 1, 2005 as rising fuel prices continue to increase the Company’s fuel hedge asset.

     Other current liabilities decreased $36 million to $79 million primarily due to payments for the purchase of freight cars.

     See Note 4. Debt and Credit Agreements, for discussion of the Company’s revolving credit agreements.

     As of April 1, 2005, CSX’s long-term unsecured debt obligations were rated BBB and Baa2 by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s Investor Service, respectively. On March 30, 2004, Standard and Poor’s lowered the Company’s short-term rating from A-2 to A-3 and revised the outlook from stable to negative. On July 6, 2004, Moody’s Investor Service reaffirmed the Company’s short and long-term unsecured debt ratings, but adjusted the outlook from stable to negative. The Company’s short-term commercial paper program is rated A-3 and P-2 by Standard and Poor’s and Moody’s Investor Service, respectively. This increases the Company’s borrowing costs in the commercial paper market and reduces the Company’s access to these funds because of the limited demand for A-3 commercial paper. If CSX’s long-term unsecured bond ratings were reduced to BBB- and Baa3, the Company’s undrawn borrowing costs under the $1.2 billion and $400 million revolving credit facilities would not materially increase.

     The Company had no commercial paper outstanding at April 1, 2005 or December 31, 2004.

     CSX’s working capital at April 1, 2005 was $517 million, compared to a deficit of $330 million at December 31, 2004. This change is primarily driven by the net cash proceeds from the disposition of the Company’s International Terminals business and a decrease in debt that will become due within 12 months. The Company believes that in future periods working capital will return to a deficit. A working capital deficit is not unusual for the Company and other companies in the industry and does not indicate a lack of liquidity. The Company continues to maintain adequate current assets to satisfy current liabilities and maturing obligations when they come due and has sufficient financial capacity to manage its day-to-day cash requirements and any obligations arising from legal, tax and other regulatory rulings.

Shelf Registration Statements

     CSX currently has $900 million of capacity under an effective shelf registration that may be used, subject to market conditions and board authorization, to issue debt or equity securities at the Company’s discretion. The Company presently intends to use the proceeds from the sale of any securities issued under its shelf registration statement to finance cash requirements, including refinancing existing debt as it matures. While the Company seeks to give itself flexibility with respect to meeting such needs, there can be no assurance that market conditions would permit the Company to sell such securities on acceptable terms at any given time, or at all.

OTHER MATTERS

Critical Accounting Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that management make estimates in reporting the amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Significant estimates using management judgment are made for the following areas:

  •   Casualty, Environmental and Legal Reserves
 
  •   Pension and Postretirement Medical Plan Accounting
 
  •   Depreciation Policies for Assets Under the Group-Life Method
 
  •   Income Taxes

     These estimates and assumptions are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on a regular basis.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

     Certain statements in this report and in other materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as information included in oral statements or other written statements made by the Company, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements include, among others, statements regarding:

  •   Expectations as to operating results and operational improvements;
 
  •   Expectations as to the effect of claims, lawsuits, environmental costs, commitments, contingent liabilities, labor negotiations or agreements on our financial condition;
 
  •   Management’s plans, goals, strategies and objectives for future operations and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts, and management’s expectations as to future performance and operations and the time by which objectives will be achieved; and
 
  •   Future economic, industry or market conditions or performance.

     Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words or phrases such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “project”, and similar expressions. The Company cautions against placing undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect its good faith beliefs with respect to future events and are based on information currently available to it as of the date the forward-looking statement is made. Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times that, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved.

     Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and actual performance or results could differ materially from that anticipated by these forward-looking statements. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement. If the Company does update any forward-looking statement, no inference should be drawn that the Company will make additional updates with respect to that statement or any other forward-looking statements. The following important factors, in addition to those discussed elsewhere, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by these forward-looking statements:

  •   The Company’s success in implementing its operational objectives and improving Surface Transportation operating efficiency;
 
  •   Changes in operating conditions and costs or commodity concentrations;
 
  •   Material changes in domestic or international economic or business conditions, including those affecting the rail industry such as customer demand, effects of adverse economic conditions affecting shippers, and adverse economic conditions in the industries and geographic areas that consume and produce freight;
 
  •   Labor costs and labor difficulties, including stoppages affecting either the Company’s operations or the customers’ ability to deliver goods to the Company for shipment;
 
  •   The inherent risks associated with safety and security, including adverse economic or operational effects from terrorist activities and any governmental response;
 
  •   Changes in fuel prices;

  •   Legislative, regulatory, or legal developments involving taxation, including the outcome of tax claims and litigation; the potential enactment of initiatives to re-regulate the rail industry and the ultimate outcome of shipper and rate claims subject to adjudication;
 
  •   Competition from other modes of freight transportation such as trucking and competition and consolidation within the transportation industry generally;
 
  •   Natural events such as extreme weather conditions, fire, floods, earthquakes, or other unforeseen disruptions of the Company’s operations, systems, property, or equipment; and
 
  •   The outcome of litigation and claims, including those related to environmental contamination, personal injuries and occupational illnesses.

     Other important assumptions and factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are specified elsewhere in this report and in the Company’s other SEC reports, accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and the Company’s website at www.csx.com.

CSX CORPORATION
ITEM 3: QUANTATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

     CSX addresses market risk exposure to fluctuations in interest rates and the risk of volatility in its fuel costs through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

     The Company addresses its exposure to interest rate market risk through a controlled program of risk management that includes the use of interest rate swap agreements. As of April 1, 2005, the Company had various interest rate swap agreements on $950 million of its fixed rate outstanding notes payable. In the event of a 1% increase or decrease in the LIBOR interest rate, the interest expense related to these agreements would increase or decrease approximately $10 million on an annual basis.

     During 2003, the Company began a program to hedge its exposure to fuel price volatility through swap transactions. As of April 1, 2005, CSX had hedged approximately 47% and 9% of fuel purchases for 2005 and 2006, respectively. At April 1, 2005, a 1% change in fuel prices would result in an increase or decrease in the asset related to the swaps of approximately $3 million. The Company’s rail unit average annual fuel consumption is approximately 607 million gallons. A one-cent change in the price per gallon of fuel would affect fuel expense by approximately $3 million annually.

     The Company is exposed to loss in the event of non-performance by any counter-party to the interest rate swap or fuel hedging agreements. The Company does not anticipate non-performance by such counter-parties, and no material loss would be expected from non-performance.

     Exclusive of derivative contracts that swap fixed interest rate notes to floating interest rates, CSX had approximately $434 million of floating rate debt outstanding at April 1, 2005. A 1% variance in interest rates would on average affect annual interest expense by approximately $4 million.
