NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.	Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 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 present fairly the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2009, its results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, its changes in equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and its cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008. 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 of America 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, 2008. The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting rules established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) relating to the presentation of its noncontrolling interests. The new accounting rules establish accounting and reporting standards for noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary and defines a noncontrolling interest, previously called a minority interest, as the portion of equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. The new accounting rules require, among other items, that a noncontrolling interest be included in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity separate from the Company’s equity; consolidated net income to be reported at amounts inclusive of both the Company’s and noncontrolling interest’s shares and, separately, the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the Company and noncontrolling interest all on the consolidated statement of income; and if a subsidiary is deconsolidated, any retained noncontrolling equity investment in the former subsidiary be measured at fair value and a gain or loss be recognized in net income based on such fair value. The presentation and disclosure requirements of the new accounting rules were applied retrospectively. Other than the change in presentation of noncontrolling interests and its inclusion in comprehensive income, the adoption of the new accounting rules had no impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications of prior year information have been made to conform to the presentation of current year information.

2.	Financial Instruments

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 assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2009 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands):


	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
ASSETS
Marketable securities	$	41,287	$	11,610	$	—
Derivative instruments (included in other receivables)		5,623		6,700		—
Construction reserve funds and Title XI reserve funds		290,871		—		—
LIABILITIES
Short sale of marketable securities (included in other current liabilities)		17,140		—		—
Derivative instruments (included in other current liabilities)		4,004		3,148		—

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting rules established by the FASB related to disclosure requirements of fair value measurements for certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The adoption of the new accounting rules had no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

The estimated fair value of the Company’s other financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2009 are as follows (in thousands):


	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
ASSETS
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	649,398	$	649,398
Investments, at cost, in 50% or less owned companies (included in other assets)		7,506		see below
Notes receivable from other business ventures (included in other assets)		15,568		see below
LIABILITIES
Long-term debt, including current portion		1,051,261		1,099,887

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 because the timing of settlement of these notes is not certain. 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.

Marketable Securities. Marketable security gains, net include gains of $5.6 million and losses of $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to marketable security positions held by the Company as of September 30, 2009. Marketable security gains, net include gains of $9.4

million and losses of $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, related to marketable security positions held by the Company as of September 30, 2009.

3.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Strategies

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting rules established by the FASB that require enhanced disclosures for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The new accounting rules require disclosure by the Company about how and why it uses derivative instruments and hedges, how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows.

The Company accounts for derivatives through the use of a fair value concept whereby all of the Company’s derivative positions are stated at fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives not designated as hedges are reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income as derivative gains (losses), net. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as fair value hedges are recognized as corresponding increases or decreases in the fair value of the underlying hedged item to the extent they are effective, with any ineffective portion reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income as derivative gains (losses), net. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of other comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity to the extent they are effective and reclassified into earnings on the same line item associated with the hedged transaction and in the same period the hedged transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of cash flow hedges are reported in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income as derivative gains (losses), net. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on derivatives designated as cash flow hedges that are entered into by the Company’s equity method investees are also reported as a component of the Company’s other comprehensive income in proportion to the Company’s ownership percentage in the investee, with reclassifications and ineffective portions being included in equity in earnings of 50% or less owned companies in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income.

Derivative instruments are classified as either assets or liabilities based on their individual fair values. Derivative assets and liabilities are included in other receivables and other current liabilities, respectively, in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments as of September 30, 2009 were as follows (in thousands):


	Derivative Asset		Derivative Liability
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments:
Forward currency exchange contracts (fair value hedges)	$	2,556	$	—
Interest rate swap agreements (cash flow hedges)		312		1,775

		2,868		1,775

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments:
Options on equities and equity indices		—		959
Forward currency exchange, option and future contracts		514		140
Interest rate swap agreements		—		641
Commodity swap, option and future contracts:
Exchange traded		5,560		2,719
Non-exchange traded		3,377		732
U.S. treasury notes and bond future and option contracts		4		186

		9,455		5,377

	$	12,323	$	7,152

The Company evaluates the risk of counterparty default by monitoring the financial condition of the financial institutions and counterparties involved and by primarily conducting business with large, well-established financial institutions and diversifying its counterparties. The Company does not currently anticipate nonperformance by any of its significant counterparties.

Fair Value Hedges. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has designated certain of its forward currency exchange contracts with notional values of €16.0 million as fair value hedges in respect of capital commitments denominated in euros for assets scheduled to be delivered in 2010. By entering into these forward currency exchange contracts, the Company has fixed a portion of its euro capital commitments in U.S. dollars to protect against currency fluctuations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company designated €15.0 million notional value of its forward currency exchange contracts as fair value hedges, in addition to €20.0 million previously so designated as of December 31, 2008. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company dedesignated €19.0 million notional value of these contracts as fair value hedges.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recognized gains (losses) on derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges as follows (in thousands):

Cash Flow Hedges. The Company has entered into various interest rate swap agreements with maturities ranging from 2012 to 2014 that have been designated as cash flow hedges. These agreements call for the Company to pay fixed interest rates ranging from 1.79% to 2.85% on aggregate notional values of $143.0 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on these notional values. One of the Company’s Offshore Marine Services joint ventures has also entered into an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2014 that has been designated as a cash flow hedge. This instrument calls for the joint venture to pay a fixed interest rate of 3.05% on the notional value of $29.6 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the notional value. By entering into these interest rate swap agreements, the Company and its joint venture 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 market value of marketable security positions that the Company is either about to acquire, has acquired or is about to dispose of.

The Company has entered into and settled forward currency exchange, option and future contracts with respect to various foreign currencies. As of September 30, 2009, the outstanding forward currency exchange contracts translated into a net purchase of foreign currencies with an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent of $33.4 million. These contracts enable the Company to buy currencies in the future at fixed exchange rates, which could offset possible consequences of changes in foreign exchange rates with respect to the Company’s business conducted in Europe, Africa, Mexico, Central and South America, the Middle East and Asia. The Company generally does not enter into contracts with forward settlement dates beyond twelve months. Subsequent to September 30, 2009, the Company entered into additional forward currency exchange contracts with an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent of $22.0 million.

The Company has entered into various interest rate swap agreements maturing in 2013 that call for the Company to pay fixed interest rates ranging from 2.47% to 2.59% on aggregate notional values of $58.5 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on these notional values. 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. These instruments are not designated as cash flow hedges.

The Company has entered into and settled positions in various commodity swap, option and future contracts (primarily natural gas, crude oil, gasoline, ethanol, sugar and rice). The general purpose of these transactions is 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, inland river and commodity trading businesses.

The Company has also entered into various forward contracts with unrelated third parties to buy and sell commodities. These contracts are non-exchange traded and typically result in physical delivery of the underlying commodity upon settlement. As of September 30, 2009, the Company carried ethanol inventory of $11.9 million relating to such settled transactions.

The Company has entered into and settled various positions in U.S. treasury notes and bonds through 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.

4.	Business Acquisitions

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting rules established by the FASB related to business combinations. The new accounting rules amended the Company’s accounting policy by requiring the Company to recognize on its future acquisitions, with certain exceptions, 100 percent of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interests when the acquisition constitutes a change in control of the acquired entity. The new accounting rules establish that shares issued in consideration for a business combination be at fair value on the acquisition date, requires the recognition of contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition-date fair values with subsequent changes in fair value generally reflected in earnings, and requires recognition of pre-acquisition loss and gain contingencies at their acquisition-date fair values. The new accounting rules also provide for the capitalization of in-process research and development assets acquired, requires acquisition-related transaction costs to be expensed as incurred, allows for the capitalization of acquisition-related restructuring costs only if the criteria in the FASB rules related to exit or disposal cost obligations are met as of the acquisition date, and requires as an adjustment to income tax expense any changes in an acquirer’s existing income tax valuation allowances and tax uncertainty accruals.

SES-CHEM Acquisition. On August 3, 2009, the Company acquired its partner’s 51% interest in SES-CHEM Company Limited (“SES-CHEM”), a provider of environmental services in Thailand, for $0.1 million in cash. Subsequent to the transaction, the Company owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of SES-CHEM. The Company performed a preliminary fair value analysis and the purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values resulting in no goodwill being recorded.

V & A Acquisition. On May 21, 2009, the Company acquired a controlling interest in V&A Commodity Traders, Inc. (“V&A”), a sugar trading business, for $4.0 million. The Company’s purchase price included cash consideration of $1.3 million and forgiveness of a note due from V&A of $2.7 million. The Company performed a fair value analysis and the purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values resulting in no goodwill being recorded. The fair value of assets and liabilities acquired was finalized in June 2009.

SRI Acquisition. On September 7, 2007, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Solid Resources, Inc. and Solid Resources, LLC (collectively referred to as “SRI”), providers of environmental services in the southeastern United States. The selling stockholder of SRI has the opportunity to receive additional consideration of up to $39.5 million based upon certain performance measures over the period from the date of acquisition through September 30, 2011, which will be recognized by the Company as additional cost of the acquisition when the contingency is resolved and when any additional consideration is distributable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company paid $1.7 million of additional consideration in accordance with the acquisition agreement and recorded the consideration as goodwill in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Link Acquisition. On September 7, 2007, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Link Associates International Global Limited (“Link”), a provider of environmental services in the United Kingdom. The selling stockholder of Link has the opportunity to receive additional consideration of up to £2.8 million based upon certain performance measures during the period from the date of acquisition through May 31, 2010, which will be recognized by the Company as additional cost of the acquisition when the contingency is resolved and when any additional consideration is distributable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company paid £61,560 ($0.1 million) of additional consideration in accordance with the acquisition agreement and recorded the consideration as goodwill in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

RMA Acquisition. On October 1, 2006, the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Response Management Associates, Inc. (“RMA”), a provider of environmental consulting services. The selling stockholder of RMA has the opportunity to receive additional consideration of $8.5 million based upon certain

performance measures over the period from the date of the acquisition through September 30, 2012, which will be recognized by the Company as additional cost of the acquisition when the contingency is resolved and when any additional consideration is distributable. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company paid $0.5 million of additional consideration in accordance with the acquisition agreement and recorded the consideration as goodwill in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

5.	Equipment Acquisitions, Dispositions and Depreciation Policy

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, capital expenditures were $129.2 million. Equipment deliveries during the period included three offshore support vessels, two inland river towboats, six helicopters and three ocean liquid tank barges.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company sold 17 offshore support vessels, five inland river dry cargo barges, three inland river towboats, four harbor tugs and other equipment. In addition, two helicopters were scrapped and two helicopters were declared a total loss. The Company received $95.0 million on the disposition of these assets, including the insurance proceeds for the helicopters, and recognized net gains of $22.5 million.

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 September 30, 2009, the estimated useful life (in years) of each of the Company’s major categories of new equipment was as follows:


Offshore support vessels		20
U.S.-flag tankers⁽¹⁾		25
Inland river dry cargo and deck barges		20
Inland river liquid tank barges		25
Inland river towboats		25
Helicopters		12
Harbor and offshore tugs⁽²⁾		25
Ocean liquid tank barges		25

(1)	Subject to Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA 90”) requirements.

(2)

Effective April 1, 2008, the Company changed its estimated useful life for newly built harbor and offshore tugs from 40 to 25 years and reduced the remaining useful life of certain vessels within its harbor and offshore tug fleet due to the more frequent occurrence of technological advancements in vessel design. These changes in estimates did not materially impact the comparability of financial information for the periods presented.

6.	Investments at Equity and Receivables from 50% or Less Owned Companies

SCF Bunge Marine. On August 1, 2009, the Company and a subsidiary of a large international agricultural and food company formed SCF Bunge Marine LLC, a 50-50 joint venture to time charter and market six inland river towboats on the U.S. Inland River Waterways. Three of the six inland river towboats were previously owned by the Company and sold to a leasing company for $17.7 million immediately prior to the formation of the joint venture. Each partner contributed $1.3 million in cash to the joint venture.

Sea-Cat Crewzer. On July 27, 2009, the Company and another offshore support vessel operator formed Sea-Cat Crewzer LLC, a 50-50 joint venture to own and operate two high speed offshore catamaran crew boats. Each partner contributed to the joint venture a vessel and cash with a combined value of $17.3 million. The Company contributed one high speed offshore catamaran crew boat with a fair value of $14.7 million and $2.6 million in cash. In addition, immediately prior to the formation of the joint venture, the Company sold one high speed offshore catamaran crew boat to its joint venture partner for $16.9 million who then contributed the vessel to the joint venture along with $0.4 million in cash.

Dart. On July 22, 2008, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, Era DHS LLC, acquired 49% of the capital stock of Dart Helicopter Services LLC (“Dart”) for cash consideration of $21.0 million. Dart is an international sales, marketing and manufacturing organization focusing on after-market helicopter accessories. The Company performed a fair value analysis and the purchase price was allocated to the acquired assets and liabilities based on their fair values resulting in goodwill of $3.2 million. The fair value analysis of assets and liabilities acquired was finalized during the third quarter of 2009.

7.	Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s unfunded capital commitments as of September 30, 2009 consisted primarily of offshore support vessels, helicopters, inland river dry cargo barges and an inland river towboat and totaled $98.3 million, of which $28.3 million is payable during the remainder of 2009 with the balance payable through 2011. Of the total unfunded capital commitments, $20.7 million may be terminated without further liability other than the payment of liquidated damages of $3.0 million in the aggregate.

The Company has guaranteed the payment of amounts owed by one of its joint ventures under a vessel charter agreement that expires in 2011. In addition, the Company has guaranteed amounts owed under banking

facilities by certain of its joint ventures and has issued a performance guarantee on behalf of one of its joint ventures. As of September 30, 2009, the total amount guaranteed by the Company under these arrangements was $24.5 million. Additionally, as of September 30, 2009, the Company had an uncalled capital commitment to one of its joint ventures for $3.1 million.

In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages, personal injuries and other matters. Management has used estimates in determining the Company’s potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto as appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company’s estimates related to these exposures could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs will have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

Under United States law, “United States persons” are prohibited from business activities and contracts in certain countries, including Sudan and Iran. Relating to these prohibitions, Seabulk International, Inc. (“Seabulk”), a subsidiary of SEACOR acquired in July 2005, filed three reports with and submitted documents to the Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury in December 1999 and January and May 2002. One of the reports was also filed with the Bureau of Export Administration of the U.S. Department of Commerce. The reports and documents related to certain limited charters with third parties involving three Seabulk vessels that called in Sudan for several months in 1999 and January 2000 and charters with third parties involving several of Seabulk’s vessels that called in Iran in 1998. In March 2003, Seabulk received notification from OFAC that the case has been referred to its Civil Penalties Division. Should OFAC determine that these activities constituted violations of the laws or regulations, civil penalties, including fines, could be assessed against Seabulk or certain individuals who knowingly participated in such activity. The Company cannot predict the extent of such penalties; however, management does not believe the outcome of these matters will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or its results of operations.

During 2006 and 2007, Marine Transportation Services (“MTS”) had two of its tankers retrofitted to a double-hull configuration in a foreign shipyard to enable each of them to continue to transport crude oil and petroleum products beyond their OPA 90 mandated retirement dates in 2011. Both vessels operate in the U.S. coastwise, or Jones Act, trade that is restricted to vessels built or rebuilt in the United States. In May 2005, MTS received a determination from the U.S. Coast Guard (“USCG”), which administers the United States build requirements of the Jones Act, concluding the retro-fit work would not constitute a foreign rebuilding and therefore would not jeopardize the tankers’ eligibility to operate in the U.S. coastwise trade. MTS completed the retrofit work in the foreign shipyard in reliance upon the USCG’s determination, which MTS believes was correct and in accord with the USCG’s long-standing regulations and interpretations. On July 9, 2007, a U.S. shipbuilders trade association and two operators of tankers in the U.S. coastwise trade (“Shipbuilders”) commenced a civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Shipbuilders Council of America, Inc., et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, et al. , No. 1:07cv665 (E.D. Va.) (the “SB Trader Litigation”), in which they sought to have the court set aside the USCG’s determination and direct the USCG to revoke the coastwise license of one of the two retrofitted tankers, the Seabulk Trader. MTS intervened in the action to assist the USCG in defending its determination. On April 24, 2008, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion granting a motion for summary judgment by Shipbuilders setting aside the USCG’s determination and remanding the matter to the USCG for further proceedings with instructions to revoke the coastwise endorsement of the Seabulk Trader. On April 30, 2008, MTS appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”), and the lower court’s decision was stayed pending appeal, subject to certain terms (which MTS has also separately appealed). Those terms require that MTS pay to the plaintiffs 12.5% of the revenue generated by the Seabulk Trader from November 7, 2008 in the event that the Court of Appeals affirms the lower court’s decision to revoke its coastwise endorsement (the “Undertaking”). On July 2, 2008, Shipbuilders commenced a second civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, entitled Shipbuilders Council of America, Inc., et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, et al., No. 1:08cv680 (E.D. Va.) (the “SB Challenge Litigation”), alleging essentially identical claims as those asserted

in the SB Trader Litigation against MTS’s second retrofitted tanker, the Seabulk Challenge. MTS has intervened in the SB Challenge Litigation that was stayed pending the decision of the Court of Appeals in the SB Trader Litigation. In September 2009, the Court of Appeals reversed the District Court, holding that the USCG’s interpretation was correct and that the District Court erred in requiring MTS to provide the Undertaking. It is expected that the District Court will remand the matter to the USCG for further proceedings concerning matters as to which the District Court had instructed the USCG to provide further explanation that were not addressed by the Court of Appeals. The loss of coastwise eligibility for its two retrofitted tankers could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and its results of operations. The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s two retro-fitted tankers was $54.8 million as of September 30, 2009 and such tankers contributed operating revenues of $17.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

Certain subsidiaries of the Company are participating employers in an industry-wide, multi-employer, defined benefit pension fund, the United Kingdom Merchant Navy Officers Pension Fund (“MNOPF”). Under the direction of a court order, any deficit of the MNOPF is to be remedied through funding contributions from all participating employers. The Company’s participation relates to officers employed between 1978 and 2002 by SEACOR’s Stirling group of companies (which had been acquired by SEACOR in 2001) and its predecessors. Based on an actuarial valuation of the MNOPF in 2003, the Company was invoiced and expensed $4.4 million in 2005, representing the Company’s allocated share of a total funding deficit of $412.0 million. Subsequent to this invoice, the pension fund trustees determined that $49.0 million of the $412.0 million deficit was deemed uncollectible due to the non-existence or liquidation of certain participating employers and the Company was invoiced and expensed $0.6 million in March 2007 for its allocated share of the uncollectible deficit. Based on an actuarial valuation of the MNOPF in 2006, the Company was invoiced and expensed $3.9 million in September 2007, representing the Company’s allocated share of an additional funding deficit of $332.6 million. Depending on the results of future actuarial valuations, it is possible that the MNOPF will experience further funding deficits requiring the Company to recognize payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received. A funding update as of March 2008 indicated that an additional funding deficit of $116.2 million had developed over the two years since the last actuarial valuation in 2006. No invoices in respect of this deficit will be issued to participating employers until the results of the latest actuarial valuation, carried out in March 2009, are available. Should the deficit be maintained at current levels through the March 2009 actuarial valuation, the Company estimates its share of the uninvoiced deficit to be approximately $1.5 million.

A subsidiary of the Company is a participating employer in an industry-wide, multi-employer, defined benefit pension fund, the United Kingdom Merchant Navy Ratings Pension Fund (“MNRPF”). The Company’s participation relates to ratings employed between 1978 and 2001 by SEACOR’s Stirling group of companies (which had been acquired by SEACOR in 2001) and its predecessors. Based on an actuarial valuation in March 2008, the MNRPF has an accumulated funding deficit of $284.2 million. No decision has yet been reached as to how the deficit will be recovered but the Company expects it is likely that participating employers will be invoiced for their allocated share, at which time the Company would recognize payroll related operating expenses. The Company estimates its allocated share of the uninvoiced deficit to be approximately $1.0 million.

On June 12, 2009, a purported civil class action was filed against SEACOR, Era Group Inc., Era Aviation, Inc., Era Helicopters LLC and two 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.). SEACOR acquired the Era group of companies in December 2004. The complaint alleges that the Defendants violated federal antitrust laws 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 includes all direct purchasers of such services and the relief sought includes compensatory damages and treble damages. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these claims but believes they are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. On September 4, 2009, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, however the district court has yet to rule on that motion.

8.	Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations

As of September 30, 2009, the Company had $158.5 million of outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The remaining availability under this facility was $289.4 million, net of issued letters of credit of $2.1 million. In addition, the Company had other outstanding letters of credit totaling $46.7 million with various expiration dates through 2012.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company made payments on long term debt and capital lease obligations of $222.7 million, including $79.7 million for the purchase of Convertible Debentures and Senior Notes (see note 9), $84.3 million for the redemption of the remaining outstanding principal of its 9.5% Senior Notes (see note 9) and $32.8 million upon the maturity of its 7.2% Senior Notes. Subsequent to September 30, 2009, the Company repaid $33.5 million on its revolving credit facility.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.375% Senior Notes due October 1, 2019 (the “7.375% Senior Notes”) and received net proceeds of $245.9 million. The 7.375% Senior Notes were issued under a supplemental indenture dated as of September 24, 2009 to the base indenture relating to SEACOR’s senior debt securities, dated as of January 10, 2001, between SEACOR and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. Interest on the 7.375% Senior Notes is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year. The 7.375% Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption, plus a specified “make-whole” premium.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company entered into other secured debt totaling $45.2 million and received proceeds of $44.9 million. The interest rates on the debt are variable based on LIBOR plus a margin of 300 to 400 basis points and are reset quarterly. As of September 30, 2009, the interest rates ranged from 4.4% to 4.5%. The debt will be repaid through periodic payments of principal and accrued interest and matures in 2012.

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting rules established by the FASB related to its convertible debt that requires the Company to account separately for the liability and equity components in a manner that reflects the Company’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. The resulting debt discount is amortized over the period the debt is expected to be outstanding as additional non-cash interest expense. Upon adoption of the new accounting rules, the Company recorded the impact on a retrospective basis for all periods presented and adjusted previously reported equity as of December 31, 2008 by increasing additional paid-in capital $33.9 million and reducing retained earnings $18.9 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the impact of adopting the new accounting rules on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of income was an additional $6.0 million and $5.6 million of pre-tax, non-cash interest expense, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the impact of the adopting the new accounting rules on basic earnings per share was a reduction of $0.20 and $0.18 per share, respectively.

9.	Stock and Debt 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”), and its 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company repurchased $3.8 million in principal amount of its 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024 for $3.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company acquired for treasury 2,824,317 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $240.0 million. As of September 30, 2009, the remaining authority under the repurchase plan was $145.5 million.

$37.0 million in principal amount of its 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009, $18.4 million in principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 and $20.2 million in principal amount of its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013 for an aggregate purchase price of $76.0 million. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company redeemed the remaining $81.7 million in principal amount outstanding of its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013 for $84.3 million.

10.

Acquisitions of Noncontrolling Interests

Effective January 1, 2009, the Company purchased the remaining noncontrolled subsidiary shares in a tank farm and handling facility in Sauget, Illinois and certain related leasehold improvements from a noncontrolling interest holder. The aggregate purchase price of $9.6 million included a note payable of $7.0 million, the forgiveness of a $2.3 million note receivable from the noncontrolling interest holder and cash consideration of $0.3 million.

Effective April 1, 2009, the Company purchased the remaining noncontrolled subsidiary shares in an offshore marine services company for $0.9 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 and if-converted methods. Dilutive securities for this purpose assumes restricted stock grants have vested, common shares have been issued pursuant to the exercise of outstanding stock options and common shares have been issued pursuant to the conversion of outstanding convertible debentures. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR excluded 715,985 and 818,364, respectively, of certain share awards as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR excluded 648,449 and 571,501, respectively, of certain share awards as the effect of their inclusion in the computation would have been antidilutive.

Computations of basic and diluted earnings per common share of SEACOR are included in the table below (in thousands, except per share data). Certain prior period information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the adoption of new accounting rules established by the FASB related to the Company’s convertible debt (see note 8).

Segment Information

Accounting standards require public business enterprises to report information about each of their operating business segments that exceed certain quantitative thresholds or meet certain other reporting requirements. Operating business segments have been defined as a component of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The 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, 2008.

The following tables summarize the operating results, capital expenditures and assets of the Company’s reportable segments. Certain prior period information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the adoption of new accounting rules established by the FASB related to the Company’s convertible debt (see note 8).

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: the unprecedented decline in valuations in the global financial markets and illiquidity 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, loss of U.S. coastwise endorsement for the retro-fitted double-hull tankers, Seabulk Trader and Seabulk Challenge, if the Company is unsuccessful in defending litigation seeking the revocation of their coastwise charters, 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, 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, increased competition if the Jones Act is repealed, operational risks of Offshore Marine Services, Marine Transportation Services, Harbor and Offshore Towing Services and Aviation Services, effects of adverse weather conditions and seasonality, future phase-out of Marine Transportation Services’ double-bottom tanker, dependence of spill response revenue on the number and size of spills and upon continuing government regulation in this area and Environmental Services’ ability to comply with such regulation and other governmental regulation, changes in National Response Corporation’s Oil Spill Removal Organization classification, liability in connection with providing spill 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.

Operating Revenues – Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter. Operating revenues decreased by $67.1 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter. Time charter revenues decreased by $68.3 million and other operating revenues, including third party brokered vessel activity, bareboat charter revenues and other marine services, increased by $1.2 million.

The number of days available for charter in the Current Year Quarter was 13,753 compared with 15,470 in the Prior Year Quarter, a 1,717 or 11.1% reduction, due to net fleet dispositions. Overall fleet utilization was 67.4% in the Current Year Quarter compared with 87.7% in the Prior Year Quarter. Net fleet dispositions, the impact of vessels mobilizing between geographic regions, changes in utilization and other changes in fleet mix combined to reduce time charter revenues by $48.0 million.

Overall average day rates were $11,880 per day in the Current Year Quarter compared with $13,161 per day in the Prior Year Quarter, a decrease of $1,281 per day or 9.7%. In overall terms, this decrease reduced time charter revenues by $17.7 million and the impact of unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates reduced time charter revenues by a further $2.6 million.

In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, time charter revenues were $55.8 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to a reduction in rig moving activity and a 39.9% reduction in utilization. As of September 30, 2009, 26 of the Company’s vessels were cold-stacked in this region. Average day rates were $12,105 per day in the Current Year Quarter compared with $14,626 per day in the Prior Year Quarter.

Time charter revenues were lower in Mexico, Central and South America primarily due to the cessation of trading in Venezuela in June 2009, were lower in West Africa due to mobilizing vessels to other geographic regions, were lower in the Middle East due to fleet dispositions, and were lower in the North Sea due to unfavorable currency exchange rate movements between the U.S. dollar and the pound sterling.

Operating Revenues – Current Nine Months compared with Prior Nine Months. Operating revenues decreased by $81.7 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. Time charter revenues decreased by $100.5 million. Other operating revenues, including third party brokered vessel activity, bareboat charter revenues and other marine services, increased by $18.8 million primarily in Mexico, Central and South America and West Africa.

The number of days available for charter in the Current Nine Months was 42,104 compared with 48,022 in the Prior Nine Months, a 5,918 or 12.3% reduction, due to net fleet dispositions. Overall fleet utilization was 74.5% in the Current Nine Months compared with 81.5% in the Prior Nine Months. Net fleet dispositions, the impact of vessels mobilizing between geographic regions, changes in utilization and other changes in fleet mix combined to reduce time charter revenues by $77.7 million.

Overall average day rates were $12,261 per day in the Current Nine Months compared with $12,394 per day in the Prior Nine Months, a decrease of $133 per day or 1%. In overall terms, this decrease reduced time charter revenues by $10.4 million and the impact of unfavorable changes in currency exchange rates reduced time charter revenues by a further $12.4 million.

In the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, time charter revenues were $78.6 million lower in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months primarily due to the reduction in rig moving activity and an 18.3% reduction in utilization primarily attributable to the cold-stacking of additional vessels during 2009.

Time charter revenues were lower in West Africa primarily due to net fleet dispositions and vessels mobilizing to other geographic regions and were lower in the North Sea due to unfavorable currency exchange rate movements between the U.S. dollar and the pound sterling.

Operating Income – Current Year Quarter compared with Prior Year Quarter. Operating income in the Current Year Quarter included $3.9 million of gains on asset dispositions compared with $13.5 million of gains in the Prior Year Quarter. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income decreased by $44.8 million. The decrease in operating revenues noted above was partially offset by a $20.8 million reduction in operating expenses primarily due to net fleet dispositions, a reduction in the number of scheduled drydockings, lower

unscheduled repair costs, and cold-stacking additional vessels in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Administrative and general expenses were $1.3 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to the impact of restructuring the international group in late 2008.

Operating Income – Current Nine Months compared with Prior Nine Months. Operating income in the Current Nine Months included $18.7 million of gains on asset dispositions compared with $35.0 million of gains in the Prior Nine Months. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income decreased by $13.2 million. The decrease in operating revenues noted above was partially offset by a $59.2 million reduction in operating expenses primarily due to net fleet dispositions, a reduction in the number of scheduled drydockings and cold-stacking additional vessels in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Administrative and general expenses were $8.8 million lower in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months primarily due to the impact of restructuring the international group in late 2008.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues were $5.8 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $12.9 million lower in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months primarily due to changes in the contract status of the California Voyager (from time charter to long-term bareboat charter commencing in September 2008) and the Seabulk Challenge (from spot market to time charter commencing in April 2009), the temporary lay-up of the Seabulk Trader commencing in August 2009, and lower utilization for the Seabulk America that operated in the spot market. Operating revenues were also lower for the Seabulk Energy that completed a long-term time charter in February 2009 and then operated in the spot market before commencing a new time charter at a lower day rate in August 2009. In addition, the Seabulk Energy was off-hire for regulatory drydocking and repairs for 28 days in the Current Nine Months. Operating revenues were higher for the Seabulk Arctic and the Seabulk Pride both of which underwent regulatory drydockings in the Prior Nine Months.

Operating Income (Loss). Operating income was $5.7 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $0.3 million higher in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. Operating income in the Prior Nine Months included gains of $3.6 million on the sale of the Seabulk Magnachem and Seabulk Power. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income was $4.0 million higher in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. In both the Current Year Quarter and Current Nine Months the reductions in operating revenues as noted above were offset by lower operating expenses associated with the drydockings of the Seabulk Arctic and Seabulk Pride, the changes in contract status of the Seabulk Challenge and California Voyager and lower voyage expenses for the Seabulk America that operated in the spot market. Operating income was lower for the Seabulk Energy in the Current Year Quarter and Current Nine Months primarily due to the reduction in operating revenues as noted above and in the Current Nine Months due to higher operating expenses, primarily associated with the regulatory drydocking.

Fleet Count. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, Marine Transportation Services owned eight U.S.-flag product tankers operating in the domestic coastwise trade.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues decreased by $2.2 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and increased by $1.5 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. In the Current Year Quarter and Current Nine Months operating revenues were higher in the liquid unit tow operation primarily due to the addition of two towboats and eight 30,000-barrel liquid tank barges. In addition, operating revenues were higher due to the commencement of terminal operations in Sauget, Illinois in May 2008. These increases were offset by declines in operating revenues from non-grain freight loadings and idling of a portion of the pooled fleet in the Current Year Quarter. Loadings in the Current Year Quarter were significantly lower than in the Prior Year Quarter due to weaker demand for the movement of non-grain commodities, including construction related materials and domestic coal.

Operating Income. Operating income in the Current Year Quarter included $0.8 million of gains on asset dispositions compared with $4.1 million in the Prior Year Quarter and $3.5 million of gains on asset dispositions in the Current Nine Months compared with $6.3 million in the Prior Year Nine Months. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income decreased by $0.6 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and increased by $2.0 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. The changes in operating income were generally in line with the changes in operating revenues noted above. Operating results in the pooled fleet benefited from favorable operating conditions and lower fuel prices that resulted in lower towing, fleeting and switching costs compared with the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Nine Months.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues decreased by $9.2 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and by $9.7 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. Operating revenues in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico decreased in the Current Nine Months primarily due to non-recurring hurricane support activity in the Prior Nine Months and a reduction in fuel surcharge revenues as a result of lower fuel prices. In addition, operating revenues were lower in the Current Year Quarter due to the loss of several short-term contracts. Operating revenues in Alaska decreased due to a reduction in fuel sales volume and lower fuel prices at the fixed base operation and fewer aircraft supporting seasonal flightseeing operations, partially offset by additional oil and gas support contracts. Operating revenues for air medical services were lower due to a reduction in the number of medical contracts. International leasing revenues improved as newly delivered aircraft were placed on leases outside the United States.

Operating Income. Operating income in the Current Year Quarter included $1.1 million of gains on asset dispositions and impairments, compared with gains of $1.3 million in the Prior Year Quarter. Operating income in the Prior Nine Months included $4.9 million in gains on asset dispositions and impairments, net. Excluding the impact of these gains, operating income increased by $0.5 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and increased by $7.4 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. Operating income was impacted by the decreases in operating activities noted above, offset by lower fuel costs, a reduction in workforce and the receipt of insurance proceeds related to damage incurred from Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. In addition, operating income in the Current Nine Months was positively impacted by the recovery of a previously reserved receivable balance from a major Alaska-based customer.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues decreased by $8.4 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and by $21.4 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. The decreases were primarily due to higher activity levels in the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Nine Months for pipeline repair projects in the Republic of Georgia and Turkey and industrial services activity primarily on the U.S. West Coast. In addition, operating revenues were higher in the Prior Year Quarter due to higher debris monitoring activity relating to Hurricane Gustav. Operating revenues from professional services were lower in the Current Year Quarter and Current Nine Months primarily due to a decrease in platform recovery, planning and public assistance recovery activities.

Operating Income. Operating income decreased by $1.6 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and by $5.1 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. The decreases were generally in line with the reductions in operating revenues noted above.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues in the Current Year Quarter were $150.9 million compared with $44.3 million in the Prior Year Quarter and $301.2 million in the Current Nine Months compared with $128.4 million in the Prior Nine Months. The improvements in operating revenues reflect increased activity in renewable fuel trading, including logistics and transportation, higher hydrocarbon transportation revenues, higher volumes of rice sales and the consolidation of sugar trading activities commencing June 1, 2009.

Segment Profit (Loss). Segment loss in the Current Year Quarter was $2.0 million compared with segment profit of $5.5 million in the Prior Year Quarter. Segment profit in the Current Nine Months was $4.1 million

compared with $12.9 million in the Prior Nine Months. The reductions in segment profit were primarily due to lower margins on rice sales, higher freight costs for liquid products and higher administrative and general expenses due to increased headcount. In addition, Current Year Quarter and Current Nine Months results were negatively impacted by a provision for doubtful accounts.

Harbor and Offshore Towing Services. Segment profit decreased by $1.0 million in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year quarter and by $0.2 million in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months primarily due to decreased demand in all ports, a reduction in fuel surcharges and additional off-hire time for two tugs after completing term contracts.

Equity in Losses of 50% or Less Owned Companies. During the Current Nine Months, the Company recorded a $0.7 million impairment charge, net of tax, related to one of its 50% or less owned companies.

Interest Income. Interest income decreased in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months primarily due to lower rates of return and lower invested cash balances.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and in the Current Nine Months compared with the Prior Nine Months. The decreases were primarily due to the reduction in principal balances following the purchases, maturity and redemption of certain of the Company’s Senior Notes and Convertible Debentures. The decreases were partially offset by interest incurred on draws on the Company’s revolving credit facility and lower capitalized interest. The impact of adopting new accounting rules established by the FASB related to the Company’s convertible debt was an additional $2.0 million and $1.9 million of pre tax, non-cash interest expense in the Current Year Quarter and Prior Year Quarter, respectively, and an additional $6.0 million and $5.6 million of pre-tax, non-cash interest expense in the Current Nine Months and Prior Nine Months, respectively.

Debt extinguishment gains (losses), net. Debt extinguishment gains, net in the Current Nine Months resulted from the Company’s purchase of $3.8 million in principal amount of its 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024, the purchase of $37.0 million in principal amount of its 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009, the purchase of $18.4 million in principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 and the purchase and redemption of $101.9 million in principal amount of its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013.

Marketable security gains (losses), net. Marketable security gains, net in the Current Year Quarter and the Current Nine Months were primarily due to gains on long marketable security positions partially offset by losses on short sales of marketable securities. Marketable security gains, net in the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Nine Months were primarily due to gains on short sales of marketable securities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from working capital needs, meeting its capital commitments and the repayment of debt obligations. In addition, 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 facility. From time to time, the Company may secure additional liquidity through the issuance of debt, shares of Common Stock, preferred stock or a combination thereof.

Operating Activities

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $276.9 million in the Current Nine Months compared with $205.8 million in the Prior Nine Months. Cash flows from operating activities increased primarily due to improved net income before depreciation and gains on asset dispositions, improvements in working capital and net proceeds received on marketable security transactions designated as trading in the Current Nine Months.

Effective October 1, 2008, the Company designated its investments in marketable equity and debt securities as trading securities from their previous available-for-sale designation. As a result, cash flows from trading securities are now reported within operating activities. Prior to this change in designation, cash flows relating to available-for-sale securities were reported within investing activities. During the Current Nine Months, cash used in operating activities included $19.0 million to purchase marketable security long positions and $1.1 million to cover marketable security short positions. During the Current Nine Months, cash provided by operating activities included $39.1 million received from the sale of marketable security long positions and $11.9 million received upon entering into marketable security short positions.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities were $42.7 million in the Current Nine Months compared with $163.4 million in the Prior Nine Months.

During the Prior Nine Months, cash used in investing activities included $155.6 million to purchase marketable security long positions and $57.0 million to cover marketable security short positions. During the Prior Nine Months, cash provided by investing activities included $106.3 million received from the sale of marketable security long positions and $35.6 million received upon entering into marketable security short positions.

During the Prior Nine Months, the Company sold 13 offshore support vessels, one offshore support construction contract, 21 inland river dry cargo barges, six inland river liquid tank barges, seven helicopters, three helicopter construction contracts, one harbor tug and other equipment for an aggregate consideration of $98.9 million and recognized net gains of $51.3 million.

As of September 30, 2009, construction reserve funds of $274.3 million are 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. During the Current Nine Months, construction reserve fund account transactions included withdrawals of $62.1 million and deposits of $48.5 million. During the Prior Nine Months, construction reserve fund account transactions included withdrawals of $183.3 million and deposits of $43.7 million.

Financing Activities

During the Current Nine Months, the Company made payments on long term debt and capital lease obligations of $222.7 million, including $79.7 million for the purchase of Convertible Debentures and Senior Notes (as discussed below), $84.3 million for the redemption of the remaining outstanding principal of its 9.5% Senior Notes (as discussed below), and $32.8 million upon the maturity of its 7.2% Senior Notes. During the Prior Nine Months, the Company made principal payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $27.0 million.

SEACOR’s Board of Directors previously approved a securities repurchase plan that authorizes the Company to acquire Common Stock and its 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024. During the Current Nine Months, the Company repurchased $3.8 million in principal amount of its 2.875% Convertible Debentures due 2024 for $3.7 million. During the Prior Nine Months, the Company acquired for treasury 2,824,317 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $240.0 million. As of September 30, 2009, the remaining authority under the repurchase plan was $145.5 million.

SEACOR’s Board of Directors previously authorized the Company to purchase, separate from such authorization noted above, any or all of its 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009, its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 and its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013. During the Current Nine Months, the Company purchased $37.0 million in principal amount of its 7.2% Senior Notes due 2009, $18.4 million in principal amount of its 5.875% Senior Notes due 2012 and $20.2 million in principal amount of its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013 for an aggregate purchase price of $76.0 million. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company redeemed the remaining $81.7 million in principal amount outstanding of its 9.5% Senior Notes due 2013 for $84.3 million.

In addition, the Company had other outstanding letters of credit totaling $46.7 million with various expiration dates through 2012.

During the Current Nine Months, the Company issued $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.375% Senior Notes due October 1, 2019 (the “7.375% Senior Notes”) and received proceeds of $245.9 million. Interest on the 7.375% Senior Notes is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1 of each year.

During the Current Nine Months, the Company entered into other secured debt totaling $45.2 million and received proceeds of $44.9 million. The interest rates on the debt are variable based on LIBOR plus a margin of 300 to 400 basis points and are reset quarterly. As of September 30, 2009, the interest rates ranged from 4.4% to 4.5%. The debt will be repaid through periodic payments of principal and accrued interest and matures in 2012.

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements

The recent economic conditions have created an unprecedented disruption in the credit and capital markets. To date, the Company’s liquidity has not been materially impacted 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 additional vessels or other equipment, enter into sale and leaseback transactions for equipment, borrow under its revolving credit facility, issue debt 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.

Contingencies

Litigation”), in which they sought to have the court set aside the USCG’s determination and direct the USCG to revoke the coastwise license of one of the two retrofitted tankers, the Seabulk Trader. MTS intervened in the action to assist the USCG in defending its determination. On April 24, 2008, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion granting a motion for summary judgment by Shipbuilders setting aside the USCG’s determination and remanding the matter to the USCG for further proceedings with instructions to revoke the coastwise endorsement of the Seabulk Trader. On April 30, 2008, MTS appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (the “Court of Appeals”), and the lower court’s decision was stayed pending appeal, subject to certain terms (which MTS has also separately appealed). Those terms require that MTS pay to the plaintiffs 12.5% of the revenue generated by the Seabulk Trader from November 7, 2008 in the event that the Court of Appeals affirms the lower court’s decision to revoke its coastwise endorsement (the “Undertaking”). On July 2, 2008, Shipbuilders commenced a second civil action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, entitled Shipbuilders Council of America, Inc., et al. v. U.S. Department of Homeland Security, et al., No. 1:08cv680 (E.D. Va.) (the “SB Challenge Litigation”), alleging essentially identical claims as those asserted in the SB Trader Litigation against MTS’s second retrofitted tanker, the Seabulk Challenge. MTS has intervened in the SB Challenge Litigation that was stayed pending the decision of the Court of Appeals in the SB Trader Litigation. In September 2009, the Court of Appeals reversed the District Court, holding that the USCG’s interpretation was correct and that the District Court erred in requiring MTS to provide the Undertaking. It is expected that the District Court will remand the matter to the USCG for further proceedings concerning matters as to which the District Court had instructed the USCG to provide further explanation that were not addressed by the Court of Appeals. The loss of coastwise eligibility for its two retrofitted tankers could adversely affect the Company’s financial condition and its results of operations. The aggregate carrying value of the Company’s two retro-fitted tankers was $54.8 million as of September 30, 2009 and such tankers contributed operating revenues of $17.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

On June 12, 2009, a purported civil class action was filed against SEACOR, Era Group Inc., Era Aviation, Inc., Era Helicopters LLC, and two 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.). SEACOR acquired the Era group of companies in December 2004. The complaint alleges that the Defendants violated federal antitrust laws 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 includes all direct purchasers of such services and the relief sought includes compensatory damages and treble damages. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these claims but believes they are without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action. On September 4, 2009, the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, however the district court has yet to rule on that motion.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

For 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, 2008. There has been no significant change in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the Current Nine Months, except as described below.

During the Current Nine Months, the Company entered into several interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $201.5 million, of which $143.0 million have been designated as cash flow hedges on outstanding debt. In addition, one of the Company’s 50% owned joint ventures entered into an interest rate swap agreement with an aggregate notional value of $29.6 million. These instruments call for the Company or the joint venture to pay a fixed interest rate ranging from 1.79% to 3.05% on the notional value and receive in return a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the notional value. These instruments mature in 2012 through 2014. By entering into these interest rate swap agreements, the Company is protecting against increases in interest rates.

During the Current Nine Months, the Company entered into other secured debt totaling $45.2 million and received proceeds of $44.9 million. The rates on the debt are variable based on LIBOR plus a margin of 300 to 400 basis points and reset quarterly. As of September 30, 2009, the interest rates ranged from 4.4% to 4.5%. The debt will be repaid through periodic payments of principal and accrued interest and matures in 2012.

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 September 30, 2009. 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 September 30, 2009.

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.
