SEACOR HOLDINGS INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICY
The condensed consolidated financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 has been prepared by the Company and has not been audited by its independent registered public accounting firm. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SEACOR Holdings Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) have been made to fairly present the Company’s financial position as of June 30, 2014, its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, its comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, its changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2014, and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the full year or any future periods.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
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. Capitalized terms used and not specifically defined herein have the same meaning as such defined terms used in the Company's Annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Discontinued Operations (see Note 15). The Company reports disposed businesses as discontinued operations when it has no continuing interest in the business. Discontinued operations includes the historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the operations previously reported as discontinued in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Revenue Recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned. Revenue is realized or realizable and earned when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the price to the buyer is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. Revenue that does not meet these criteria is deferred until the criteria are met. Deferred revenues, included in other current liabilities, for the six months ended June 30, were as follows (in thousands):

As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company's deferred revenues related to the time charter of several offshore support vessels scheduled to be paid through the conveyance of an overriding royalty interest (the "Conveyance") in developmental oil and gas producing properties operated by a customer in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. Payments under the Conveyance, and the timing of such payments, were contingent upon production and energy sale prices. On August 17, 2012, the customer filed a voluntary petition for chapter 11 bankruptcy, which was converted to chapter 7 in June 2014. The Company is vigorously defending its interest in connection with the bankruptcy filing; however, payments received under the Conveyance subsequent to August 17, 2012 and during the 90 days prior to the filing are subject to bankruptcy court approval. The Company will recognize revenues as approved by the bankruptcy court. All costs and expenses related to these charters were recognized as incurred.

New Accounting Pronouncement. On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. The core principal of the new standard is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is prohibited. The Company has not yet determined what impact, if any, the adoption of the new standard will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications of prior period information have been made to conform to the presentation of the current period information. These reclassifications had no effect on net income as previously reported.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The fair value of an asset or liability is the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The Company utilizes a fair value hierarchy that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and defines three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, or inputs derived from observable market data. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2014 that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

The estimated fair value includes the conversion options on the Company's 2.5% and 3.0% Convertible Senior Notes.
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 third parties as the overall returns are uncertain due to certain provisions for additional payments contingent upon future events. Considerable judgment was required in developing certain of the estimates of fair value and, accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.
The Company’s non-financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were as follows (in thousands):

Cash Flow Hedges. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had no interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2014, one of the Company’s Offshore Marine Services 50% or less owned companies had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2015 that has been designated as a cash flow hedge. This instrument calls for this company to pay a fixed interest rate of 1.48% on the amortized notional value of $16.1 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, this interest rate swap was dedesignated. As of June 30, 2014, one of the Company’s Inland River Services 50% or less owned companies had two interest rate swap agreements with maturities in 2015 that have been designated as cash flow hedges. These instruments call for this company to pay fixed rates of interest ranging

from 1.53% to 1.62% on the aggregate amortized notional value of $18.8 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the aggregate amortized notional value. Additionally, as of June 30, 2014, one of the Company’s Shipping Services 50% or less owned companies had an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2017 that has been designated as a cash flow hedge. The instrument calls for this company to pay a fixed interest rate of 2.79% on the amortized notional value of $36.2 million and received a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value. By entering into these interest rate swap agreements, the Company's 50% or less owned companies have converted the variable LIBOR component of certain of their outstanding borrowings to a fixed interest rate.

The Company holds positions in publicly traded equity options that convey the right or obligation to engage in a future transaction on the underlying equity security or index. The Company’s investment in equity options primarily includes positions in energy, marine, transportation and other related businesses. These contracts are typically entered into to mitigate the risk of changes in the market value of marketable security positions that the Company is either about to acquire, has acquired or is about to dispose of.
The Company enters and settles forward currency exchange, option and future contracts with respect to various foreign currencies. As of June 30, 2014, the outstanding forward currency exchange contracts translated into a net purchase of foreign currencies with an aggregate U.S. dollar equivalent of $4.7 million. These contracts enable the Company to buy currencies in the future at fixed exchange rates, which could offset possible consequences of changes in currency exchange rates with respect to the Company’s business conducted outside of the United States. The Company generally does not enter into contracts with forward settlement dates beyond twelve to eighteen months.
The Company has entered into various interest rate swap agreements with maturities ranging from 2014 through 2018 that call for the Company to pay fixed interest rates ranging from 3.00% to 3.05% on an aggregate amortized notional value of $34.5 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR or Euribor on these aggregate amortized notional values. As of June 30, 2014, one of the Company’s Offshore Marine Services 50% or less owned companies has an interest rate swap agreement maturing in 2018 that calls for this company to pay a fixed interest rate of 1.30% on the amortized notional value of $98.3 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value. Additionally, another one of the Company's Offshore Marine Services 50% or less owned companies has two interest rate swap agreements maturing in 2020 that call for this company to pay fixed interest rates ranging from 1.89% to 2.27% on the aggregate amortized notional value of $24.9 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the amortized notional value. As of June 30, 2014, one of the Company's Shipping Services 50% or less owned companies has six interest rate swap agreements with maturities ranging from 2018 to 2020 that call for this company to pay fixed rates of interest ranging from 2.96% to 5.40% on the aggregate amortized notional value of $126.0 million and receive a variable interest rate based on LIBOR on the aggregate amortized notional value. The general purpose of these interest rate swap agreements is to provide protection against increases in interest rates, which might lead to higher interest costs for the Company or its 50% or less owned companies.
The Company enters and settles positions in various exchange and non-exchange traded commodity swap, option and future contracts. ICP enters into exchange traded positions (primarily corn) to protect its raw material and finished goods inventory balance from market changes. In the Company’s agricultural commodity trading and logistics business, fixed price future purchase and sale contracts for sugar are included in the Company’s non-exchange traded derivative positions. The Company enters into exchange traded positions to protect these purchase and sale contracts as well as its inventory balances from market changes. As of June 30, 2014, the net market exposure to corn and sugar under these contracts was not material. The Company also enters into exchange traded positions (primarily natural gas, heating oil, crude oil, gasoline, corn and sugar) to provide value to the Company should there be a sustained decline in the price of commodities that could lead to a reduction in the market values and cash flows of the Company’s Offshore Marine Services, Inland River Services and Shipping Services businesses. As of June 30, 2014, none of these types of positions were outstanding.

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS
C-Lift Acquisition. On June 6, 2013, the Company acquired a controlling interest in C-Lift through the acquisition of its partner's 50% equity interest for $13.3 million in cash. C-Lift owned and operated two liftboats in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. 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 preliminary fair value analysis was finalized in March 2014.
Witt O'Brien's. Subsequent to June 30, 2014, the Company acquired a controlling interest in Witt O'Brien's, a global leader in preparedness, crisis management, and disaster response and recovery, through the acquisition of its partner's 45.8% equity interest for $35.4 million (see Note 6).

EQUIPMENT ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSITIONS AND DEPRECIATION AND IMPAIRMENT POLICIES
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, capital expenditures were $273.7 million, including $148.3 million of progress payments toward the construction of three U.S.-flag product tankers. Equipment deliveries during the period included two crew boats, one supply boat, one wind farm utility vessel, 65 inland river dry-cargo barges and one inland river towboat.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company sold five crew boats, three supply boats, one wind farm utility vessel, one U.S.-flag product tanker, which was leased back, one foreign-flag short-sea container/RORO vessel and other property and equipment for net proceeds of $100.9 million ($75.3 million in cash and $25.6 million in seller financing) and gains of $50.6 million, of which $10.2 million were recognized currently and $40.4 million were deferred. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $2.7 million. The Company also received deposits of $2.7 million related to future offshore support vessel sales.
The Company has sold certain equipment to its 50% or less owned companies, entered into vessel sale-leaseback transactions with finance companies, and provided seller financing on sales of its equipment to third parties and its 50% or less owned companies. A portion of the gains realized from these transactions were deferred and recorded in deferred gains and other liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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.

The Company performs an impairment analysis of long-lived assets used in operations, including intangible assets, when indicators of impairment are present. If the carrying value of the assets is not recoverable, as determined by the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of the assets is reduced to fair value. Generally, fair value is determined using valuation techniques, such as expected discounted cash flows or appraisals, as appropriate. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized impairment charges of $3.9 million related to two aircraft.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As of June 30, 2014, the Company's unfunded capital commitments were $412.8 million and included: $86.5 million for 13 offshore support vessels; $1.1 million for two inland river tank barges; $4.6 million for four inland river towboats; $230.2 million for three U.S.-flag product tankers; $78.4 million for one U.S.-flag articulated tug-barge; and $12.0 million for other equipment and improvements. These commitments are payable as follows: $99.7 million is payable during the remainder of 2014; $303.8 million is payable during 2015-2016; and $9.3 million is payable during 2017.
On July 20, 2010, two individuals purporting to represent a class commenced a civil action in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans in the State of Louisiana, John Wunstell, Jr. and Kelly Blanchard v. BP, et al., No. 2010-7437 (Division K) (the “Wunstell Action”), in which they assert, among other theories, that Mr. Wunstell suffered injuries as a result of his exposure to certain noxious fumes and chemicals in connection with the provision of remediation, containment and response services by ORM, a subsidiary of the Company prior to the ORM Transaction, during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and clean-up in the U.S Gulf of Mexico. The action now is part of the overall multi-district litigation, In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig "Deepwater Horizon", MDL No. 2179 filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana ("MDL"). The complaint also seeks to establish a “class-wide court-supervised medical monitoring program” for all individuals “participating in BP's Deepwater Horizon Vessels of Opportunity Program and/or Horizon Response Program” who allegedly experienced injuries similar to those of Mr. Wunstell. The Company believes this lawsuit has no merit and will continue to vigorously defend the action and pursuant to contractual agreements with the responsible party, the responsible party has agreed, subject to certain potential limitations, to indemnify and defend ORM in connection with the Wunstell Action and claims asserted in the MDL, discussed further below. Although the Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from this matter, the Company does not expect it will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On December 15, 2010, ORM and NRC, subsidiaries of the Company prior to the ORM Transaction and SES Business Transaction, respectively, were named as defendants in one of the several consolidated “master complaints” that have been filed in the overall MDL. The master complaint naming ORM and NRC asserts various claims on behalf of a putative class against multiple defendants concerning the clean-up activities generally, and the use of dispersants specifically. By court order, the Wunstell Action has been stayed as a result of the filing of the referenced master complaint. The Company believes that the claims asserted against ORM and NRC in the master complaint have no merit and on February 28, 2011, ORM and NRC moved to dismiss all claims against them in the master complaint on legal grounds. On September 30, 2011, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss that ORM and NRC had filed (an amended decision was issued on October 4, 2011 that corrected several grammatical errors and non-substantive oversights in the original order). Although the Court refused to dismiss the referenced master complaint in its entirety at that time, the Court did recognize the validity of the “derivative immunity” and “implied preemption” arguments that ORM and NRC advanced and directed ORM and NRC to (i) conduct limited discovery to develop evidence to support those arguments and (ii) then re-assert the arguments. The Court did, however, dismiss all state-law claims and certain other claims that had been asserted in the referenced master complaint, and dismissed the claims of all plaintiffs that have failed to allege a legally-sufficient injury. A schedule for limited discovery and motion practice was established by the Court and, in accordance with that schedule, ORM and NRC filed for summary judgment re-asserting their derivative immunity and implied preemption arguments on May 18, 2012. Those motions were argued on July 13, 2012 and are still pending decision. In addition to the indemnity provided to ORM, pursuant to contractual agreements with the responsible party, the responsible party has agreed, subject to certain potential limitations, to indemnify and defend ORM and NRC in connection with these claims in the MDL. Although the Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from this matter, the Company does not expect it will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Subsequent to the filing of the referenced master complaint, ten additional individual civil actions have been filed in or removed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana concerning the clean-up activities generally, which name the Company, ORM and/or NRC as defendants or third-party defendants and are part of the overall MDL. By court order, all of these additional individuals' cases have been stayed until further notice. On April 8, 2011, ORM was named as a defendant in Johnson Bros. Corporation of Louisiana v. BP, PLC, et al., No. 2:11-CV-00781 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by an individual business seeking damages allegedly caused by a delay on a construction project alleged to have resulted from the clean-up operations. On April 13, 2011, the Company was named as a defendant in Mason v. Seacor Marine, LLC, No. 2:11-CV-00826 (E.D. La.), an action in which plaintiff, a former employee, alleges sustaining personal injuries in connection with responding to the explosion and fire, but also in the months thereafter in connection with the clean-up of oil and dispersants while a member of the crew of the M/V Seacor Vanguard. Although the case is subject to the MDL Court’s stay of individual proceedings, the employee moved to sever his case from the MDL on July 16, 2012, which the Court denied on March 5, 2013. The employee filed a motion asking the Court to reconsider, which was denied on May 3, 2013, and the employee filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (“Fifth Circuit”) on May 22, 2013. On July 24, 2013, the Company filed a motion to dismiss for lack of appellate jurisdiction, which was granted on August 16, 2013. The same company employee has also brought a claim in the M/

11


V Seacor Vanguard vessel’s limitation action in the MDL which relates to any actions that may have been taken by vessels owned by the Company to extinguish the fire. On April 15, 2011, ORM and NRC were named as defendants in James and Krista Pearson v. BP Exploration & Production, Inc. ("BP Exploration"), et al., No. 2:11-CV-00863 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by a husband and wife, who allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and are seeking damages for personal injury, property damage to their boat, and amounts allegedly due under contract. On April 15, 2011, ORM and NRC were named as defendants in Thomas Edward Black v. BP Exploration, et al., No. 2:11-CV-00867 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by an individual who is seeking damages for lost income because he allegedly could not find work in the fishing industry after the oil spill. On April 20, 2011, a complaint was filed in Darnell Alexander, et al. v. BP, PLC, et al., No. 2:11-CV-00951 (E.D. La.) on behalf of 117 individual plaintiffs that seek to adopt the allegations made in the referenced master complaint against ORM and NRC (and the other defendants). Plaintiffs in this matter have since been granted leave to amend their complaint to include 410 additional individual plaintiffs. On October 3, 2012, ORM and NRC were served with a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint by Jambon Supplier II, L.L.C. and Jambon Marine Holdings L.L.C. in their Limitation of Liability action, In the Matter of Jambon Supplier II, L.L.C., et al., No. 2:12-CV-00426 (E.D. La.). This Third-Party Complaint alleges that if claimant David Dinwiddie, who served as a clean-up crewmember aboard the M/V JAMBON SUPPLIER II vessel during the clean-up efforts, was injured as a result of his exposure to dispersants and chemicals during the course and scope of his employment, then said injuries were caused by the third-party defendants. On November 25, 2012, ORM was named as a defendant in Victoria Sanchez v. American Pollution Control Corp. et al., No. 2:12-CV-00164 (E.D. La.), a maritime suit filed by an individual who allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and sustained personal injuries during the course of such employment. On December 17, 2012, the Court unsealed a False Claims Act lawsuit naming ORM as a defendant, Dillon v. BP, PLC et al., No. 2:12-CV-00987 (E.D. La.)., which is a suit by an individual seeking damages and penalties arising from alleged false reports and claims made to the federal government with respect to the amount of oil burned and dispersed during the clean-up. The federal government has declined to intervene in this suit. On April 8, 2013, the Company, ORM, and NRC were named as defendants in William and Dianna Fitzgerald v. BP Exploration et al., No. 2:13-CV-00650 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by a husband and wife whose son allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and became ill as a result of his exposure to oil and dispersants. Finally, on April 17, 2013, ORM was named as a defendant in Danos et al. v. BP America Production Co. et al., No. 2:13-CV-03747 (removed to E.D. La.), which is a suit by eight individuals seeking damages for dispersant exposure either as a result of their work during clean-up operations or as a result of their residence in the Gulf. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these matters but believes they are without merit and does not expect that they will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On February 18, 2011, Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, Transocean Holdings LLC, Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc., and Transocean Deepwater Inc. (collectively “Transocean”) named ORM and NRC as third-party defendants in a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint in Transocean's own Limitation of Liability Act action, which is part of the overall MDL, tendering to ORM and NRC the claims in the referenced master complaint that have already been asserted against ORM and NRC. Transocean, Cameron International Corporation, Halliburton Energy Services, Inc., and M-I L.L.C. also filed cross-claims against ORM and NRC for contribution and tort indemnity should they be found liable for any damages in Transocean's Limitation of Liability Act action and ORM and NRC have asserted counterclaims against those same parties for identical relief. Weatherford U.S., L.P. and Weatherford International, Inc. (collectively "Weatherford") had also filed cross-claims against ORM and NRC, but moved to voluntarily dismiss these cross-claims without prejudice on February 8, 2013. The Court granted Weatherford's motion that same day. Transcoean's limitation action, and thus the remainder of the aforementioned cross-claims, remains pending. As indicated above, the Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these actions but believes they are without merit and does not expect that these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On November 16, 2012, 668 individuals who served as beach clean-up workers in Escambia County, Florida during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response commenced a civil action in the Circuit Court for the First Judicial Circuit of Florida, in and for Escambia County, Abney et al. v. Plant Performance Services, LLC et al., No. 2012-CA-002947, in which they allege, among other things, that ORM and other defendants engaged in the contamination of Florida waters and beaches in violation of Florida Statutes Chapter 376 and injured the plaintiffs by exposing them to dispersants during the course and scope of their employment. The case was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida on January 13, 2013, Abney et al. v. Plant Performance Services, LLC et al., No. 3:13-CV-00024 (N.D. Fla.), and on January 16, 2013, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”) issued a Conditional Transfer Order (“CTO”) transferring the case to the MDL, subject to any timely-filed notice of objection from the plaintiffs. Upon receipt of a notice of objection from the plaintiffs, a briefing schedule was set by the JPML, and so a stay of proceedings and suspension of deadlines was sought and obtained by the Court in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida. Following briefing before the JPML, the case was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and consolidated with the MDL on April 2, 2013. On April 22, 2013, a companion case to this matter was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, Abood et al. v. Plant Performance Services, LLC et al., No. 3:13-CV-00284 (N.D. Fla.), which alleges identical allegations against the same parties but names an additional 174 plaintiffs, all of whom served as clean-up workers in various Florida counties during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response.  A CTO was issued by the JPML on May 2, 2013, no objection was filed by the plaintiffs, and the case was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and consolidated with the MDL on May 10, 2013.  By court order,

both of these matters have been stayed until further notice. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these matters but believes they are without merit and does not expect that these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Separately, on March 2, 2012, the Court announced that BP Exploration and BP America Production Company ("BP America") (collectively "BP") and the plaintiffs had reached an agreement on the terms of two proposed class action settlements that will resolve, among other things, plaintiffs' economic loss claims and clean-up related claims against BP. The parties filed their proposed settlement agreements on April 18, 2012 along with motions seeking preliminary approval of the settlements. The Court held a hearing on April 25, 2012 to consider those motions and preliminarily approved both settlements on May 2, 2012. A final fairness hearing took place on November 8, 2012. The Court granted final approval to the Economic and Property Damages Class Action Settlement ("E&P Settlement") on December 21, 2012, and granted final approval to the Medical Benefits Class Action Settlement ("Medical Settlement") on January 11, 2013. Both class action settlements were appealed to the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit affirmed the MDL Court's decision concerning the E&P Settlement on January 10, 2014, and also affirmed the MDL Court's decision concerning the interpretation of the E&P Settlement with respect to business economic loss claims on March 3, 2014. The appeal of the Medical Settlement, on the other hand, was voluntarily dismissed and the Medical Settlement became effective on February 12, 2014. The deadline for bringing a claim to the Medical Benefits Claims Administrator is one year from the effective date of the Settlement. Although neither the Company, ORM, or NRC are parties to the settlement agreements, the Company, ORM, and NRC are listed as released parties on the releases accompanying both settlement agreements. Consequently, barring any further successful appeal, class members who did not file timely requests for exclusion will be barred from pursuing economic loss, property damage, personal injury, medical monitoring, and/or other released claims against the Company, ORM, and NRC. The Company believes these settlements have reduced the Company and ORM's potential exposure, if any, from some of the pending actions described above, and continues to evaluate the settlements' impacts on these cases.
On January 29, 2013, HEPACO, LLC ("HEPACO"), served a demand for arbitration upon ORM, in which HEPACO claimed that ORM owed HEPACO an additional fee of $20,291,178.92 under the parties' Management Services Agreement (“MSA”), dated June 1, 2010.  HEPACO claimed that the MSA required ORM to pay HEPACO an additional fee of 30% of total charges paid under the MSA ("Surcharge") to compensate HEPACO for U.S. Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' insurance or Jones Act insurance and related risks attendant to the work when a contract requires labor to be performed over, adjoining and/or in water. On June 23, 2014, ORM and HEPACO entered into an agreement to settle HEPACO's claims in the arbitration without a material impact to the Company's results of operations or cash flows and, on July 2, 2014, the HEPACO arbitration was dismissed with prejudice.
ORM is defending against two collective action lawsuits, each asserting failure to pay overtime with respect to individuals who provided service on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response (the “DPH FLSA Actions”) under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”).  These cases, Dennis Prejean v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01045) (the “Prejean Action”) and Himmerite et al. v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc. et al. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01533) (the “Himmerite Action”), were each brought on behalf of certain individuals who worked on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and who were classified as independent contractors.  The Prejean and Himmerite Actions were each filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and then subsequently consolidated with the overall MDL, in which the Himmerite Action was stayed pursuant to procedures of the MDL.  However, both the Prejean and Himmerite Actions were severed from the MDL on September 19, 2013, and referred to a Magistrate Judge for pretrial case management, including issuing a scheduling order, overseeing discovery, and any other preliminary matters.  On October 31, 2013, ORM filed an answer in the Himmerite Action.  In the Himmerite Action, pursuant to an earlier tolling order entered by the Court, the limitations periods for potential plaintiffs to opt-in to the action has been tolled pending further action by the Court.  In the Prejean Action, ORM has answered the complaint and a scheduling order has been issued. On November 6, 2013, the Court conditionally certified a collective class in the Prejean Action.  On December 9, 2013 the Court approved a jointly-submitted form notice and authorized the issuance of notice to all members of the conditionally certified class in the Prejean Action. On December 20, 2013, ORM served plaintiffs’ counsel with a list containing information for approximately 330 potential class members in the Prejean Action. The deadline for plaintiffs to file executed consent forms with the Court has expired. As of February 28, 2014 the Court-ordered deadline for potential class members to opt into the class, 142 individuals have opted in. Although the Court has conditionally certified the Prejean class, the Court has not made a final ruling on whether a class exists. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position that a class should not be certified, and intends on filing a motion to decertify the Prejean class. The Court has also not yet ruled on any of the merits of Plaintiffs’ claims. The Company does not expect the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these DPH FLSA Actions will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows, but believes the actions are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend against them.
In a related action, Baylor Singleton et. al. v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc. et. al. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01716) (the “Singleton Action”), which was also filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and in which plaintiffs alleged claims similar to those alleged in the Prejean and Himmerite Actions, the parties reached a full and final settlement agreement on February 13, 2014 with respect to all of the Plaintiff’s individual claims for an undisclosed amount.

13


On April 11, 2014, the Court approved the parties’ settlement and dismissed the Singleton Action with prejudice in its entirety. The Court also ordered that the tolling order which had been entered in the Singleton Action expired as of April 11, 2014.
In the course of the Company's business, it may agree to indemnify the counterparty to an agreement.  If the indemnified party makes a successful claim for indemnification, the Company would be required to reimburse that party in accordance with the terms of the indemnification agreement.  Indemnification agreements generally are subject to threshold amounts, specified claim periods and other restrictions and limitations.
In connection with the SES Business Transaction and the ORM Transaction, the Company remains contingently liable for certain obligations, including potential liabilities relating to work performed in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response. In the case of the SES Business Transaction, such potential liabilities may not exceed the consideration received by the Company for the SES Business Transaction and in the case of the ORM Transaction are subject to a negotiated cap. The Company currently is indemnified under contractual agreements with BP.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received net litigation settlement proceeds of $14.7 million from an equipment supplier relating to the May 2008 mechanical malfunction and fire onboard the SEACOR Sherman, an anchor handling towing supply vessel then under construction.  Upon settlement of the litigation, the Company recognized a gain of $14.7 million, which is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income (loss).
In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. Management has used estimates in determining the Company's potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company's estimates of that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
8.
MULTI-EMPLOYER PENSION PLANS
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received notification from the American Maritime Officers Pension Plan (the "AMOPP”) that the Company's withdrawal liability as of September 30, 2013 was $46.5 million based on an actuarial valuation performed as of that date. That liability may change in future years based on various factors, primarily employee census. As of June 30, 2014, the Company has no intention to withdraw from the AMOPP and no deficit amounts have been invoiced. Depending upon the results of the future actuarial valuations and the ten-year rehabilitation plan, it is possible that the AMOPP will experience further funding deficits, requiring the Company to recognize additional payroll related operating expenses in the periods invoices are received or contribution levels are increased.
9.
LONG-TERM DEBT
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $18.2 million with various expiration dates through 2018.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company made scheduled payments on long-term debt of $7.2 million and made net repayments of $6.3 million under inventory financing arrangements.
SEACOR’s Board of Directors has previously authorized the Company to purchase any or all of its 7.375% Senior Notes due 2019, which may be acquired through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not repurchase any of its 7.375% Senior Notes due 2019.
10.
STOCK REPURCHASES
SEACOR’s Board of Directors previously approved a securities repurchase plan that authorizes the Company to acquire shares of SEACOR common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”), which may be acquired through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company acquired 493,032 shares of Common Stock for treasury for an aggregate purchase price of $39.2 million. As of June 30, 2014, the remaining authority under the repurchase plan was $60.8 million.
On June 20, 2014, the Company executed a purchase agreement whereby the Company appointed Goldman, Sachs & Co. as broker to purchase Common Stock in compliance with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(l)(i) for the period June 19, 2014 through August 4, 2014. Subsequent to June 30, 2014 and through July 29, 2014, the Company purchased 321,377 shares

14


of Common Stock for treasury for an aggregate purchase price of $25.4 million. Effective July 31, 2014, SEACOR’s Board of Directors increased the Company's authority to repurchase Common Stock to $150.0 million.

Windcat Workboats. Windcat Workboats Holdings Ltd. (“Windcat Workboats”) owns and operates the Company’s wind farm utility vessels that are primarily used to move personnel and supplies in the major offshore wind markets of Europe. As of June 30, 2014, the net assets of Windcat Workboats were $31.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the net loss of Windcat Workboats was $0.1 million and the amount attributable to the noncontrolling interest was not material. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the net loss of Windcat Workboats was $2.7 million, of which $0.7 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests.
SEA-Vista. On May 2, 2014, the Company issued a 49% noncontrolling interest to a financial investor in certain of its subsidiaries (collectively "SEA-Vista") that own and operate the Company's fleet of U.S.-flag product tankers used in the U.S. coastwise trade of crude oil, petroleum and specialty chemical products for $145.7 million, net of $3.2 million in issue costs. SEA-Vista also holds the Company's contracts for the construction of three 50,000 DWT (deadweight tonnage) product tankers with expected deliveries in May 2016, October 2016 and March 2017, as well as its Title XI bonds payable and reserve funds and certain other working capital. The Company has evaluated the noncontrolling interest's protective rights in SEA-Vista, its ownership interest, and the underlying terms and conditions that govern SEA-Vista's operations and determined that the Company controls SEA-Vista. As a result, the Company has consolidated the financial position, operating results and cash flows of SEA-Vista. As of June 30, 2014, the net assets of SEA-Vista were $148.7 million. From May 2, 2014 through June 30, 2014, the net income of SEA-Vista was $4.1 million, of which $2.0 million was attributable to noncontrolling interests.
Illinois Corn Processing. Illinois Corn Processing LLC (“ICP”) owns and operates an alcohol manufacturing, storage and distribution facility located in Pekin, IL.

Effective April 1, 2014, the noncontrolling member of ICP withdrew its plant shutdown election.
Inland River Services. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company acquired the noncontrolling interest in one of its Inland River Services partnerships for $3.1 million ($2.1 million in cash and $1.0 million through the distribution of an inland river towboat to the noncontrolling interest holder).

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. Certain statements discussed in this Form 10-Q as well as in other reports, materials and oral statements that the Company releases from time to time constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Generally, words such as “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “project,” “intend,” “believe,” “plan,” “target,” “forecast” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements concern management's expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated economic performance and financial condition and other similar matters. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual events or results may differ significantly from these statements because actual events or results are subject to significant known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors, including decreased demand and loss of revenues as a result of additional safety and certification requirements for drilling activities in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and delayed approval of applications for such activities, the possibility of U.S. government implemented moratoriums directing operators to cease certain drilling activities in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and any extension of such moratoriums (the “Moratoriums”),weakening demand for the Company’s services as a result of unplanned customer suspensions, cancellations, rate reductions or non-renewals of vessel charters or failures to finalize commitments to charter vessels in response to Moratoriums, increased government legislation and regulation of the Company’s businesses could increase cost of operations, increased competition if the Jones Act is repealed, liability, legal fees and costs in connection with the provision of emergency response services, including the Company’s involvement in response to the oil spill as a result of the sinking of the Deepwater Horizon in April 2010, decreased demand for the Company’s services as a result of declines in the global economy, declines in valuations in the global financial markets and a lack of liquidity in the credit sectors, including, interest rate fluctuations, availability of credit, inflation rates, change in laws, trade barriers, commodity prices and currency exchange fluctuations, the cyclical nature of the oil and gas industry, activity in foreign countries and changes in foreign political, military and economic conditions, changes in foreign and domestic oil and gas exploration and production activity, safety record requirements related to Offshore Marine Services and Shipping Services, decreased demand for Shipping Services due to construction of additional refined petroleum product, 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 and economic sanctions, the dependence of Offshore Marine Services and Shipping Services on several customers, consolidation of the Company's customer base, the ongoing need to replace aging vessels, industry fleet capacity, restrictions imposed by the Shipping Acts on the amount of foreign ownership of the Company's Common Stock, operational risks of Offshore Marine Services, Inland River Services and Shipping Services, effects of adverse weather conditions and seasonality, 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, sudden and unexpected changes in commodity prices, futures and options, global weather conditions, political instability, changes in currency exchanges rates, and product availability in agriculture commodity trading and logistics activities, adequacy of insurance coverage, the potential for a material weakness in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting and the Company's ability to remediate such potential material weaknesses, 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 as well as those discussed in Item 1A (Risk Factors) of the Company's Annual report on Form 10-K. In addition, these statements constitute the Company's cautionary statements under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. It should be understood that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors. Consequently, the preceding should not be considered to be a complete discussion of all potential risks or uncertainties.

Operating Revenues.  Operating revenues were $8.7 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $16.5 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Year Six Months.  Operating revenues for the dry-cargo barge pools were $12.6 million higher and $20.3 million higher in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months, respectively, primarily due to weaker demand for barge freight in the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months related to drought conditions in 2012 that impacted crop yields.  Operating revenues from liquid unit tow operations were $0.6 million higher and $1.3 million higher in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months, respectively,  primarily due to higher rates and increased utilization.  Operating revenues from terminal and fleeting operations were $0.5 million lower in the Current Year Quarter primarily due to a seasonal decline in activity levels.  Operating revenues from terminal operations and fleeting operations were $1.6 million higher in the Current Six Months primarily due to increased activity levels.  Operating revenues from inland river towboat operations and other activities were $2.5 million lower and $4.9 million lower in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months, respectively, primarily due to removing four inland river towboats from service.
                Operating Expenses.  Operating expenses were $9.9 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $13.1 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months.  Operating expenses for the dry-cargo barge pools were $11.4 million higher and $15.5 million higher in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months, respectively, primarily due to increased activity levels discussed above and difficult river operating conditions.  Operating expenses from the 10,000 barrel liquid tank barge operations were $0.9 million higher and $1.1 million higher in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months, respectively, primarily due to the cost of U.S. Coast Guard inspections and related repair expenditures.  Operating expenses from terminal and fleeting operations were $0.7 million higher in the Current Year Quarter primarily due to increased repair and maintenance expenditures for equipment during the seasonal decline in activity levels.  Operating expenses from terminal and fleeting activities in the Current Six Months were $1.2 million higher primarily due to increased wage and benefit costs and higher activity levels.  Operating expenses from inland river towboat operations and other activities were $1.8

30


million lower and $3.1 million lower in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months, respectively, primarily due to the removal of four inland river towboats from service as discussed above.
                Gains on Asset Dispositions.  In the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months, the Company sold other equipment for $0.6 million for no gain and recognized previously deferred gains of $0.8 million and $1.7 million, respectively.  During the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months, the Company sold 16 dry-cargo barges and eight 30,000 barrel tank barges for proceeds of $27.3 million and gains of $6.0 million, of which $3.6 million were recognized currently and $2.4 million were deferred. In addition, the Company recognized previously deferred gains of $0.7 million and $1.4 million during the Prior Year Quarter and Prior Six Months, respectively.
Operating Income.  Excluding the impact of gains on asset dispositions, operating loss as a percentage of operating revenues was 1% in the Current Year Quarter compared with operating income as a percentage of operating revenues of 3% in the Prior Year Quarter and operating income as a percentage of operating revenues was 6% in the Current Six Months compared with 4% in the Prior Six Months.  The decrease in the Current Year Quarter was primarily due to the increase in barge logistic costs as a consequence of difficult river operating conditions. The improvement in the Current Six Months was primarily due to higher freight rates and increased activity levels in the dry-cargo barge pools and liquid unit tow operations and increased activity levels from fleeting operations.
Equity in Losses of 50% or Less Owned Companies, Net of Tax.  During the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months, the Company recognized $3.3 million and $3.7 million of equity losses, respectively, primarily from the continued intermediary operations following a structural failure of a terminal facility at the Port of Ibicuy, Argentina.

Operating Revenues. Operating revenues were $5.5 million higher in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $11.4 million higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months. The increases in both periods were primarily due to increased time charter rates for three U.S.-flag product tankers, fewer days out-of-service for drydocking, more harbor traffic for harbor tugs and bunkering and higher cargo shipping demand for short-sea transportation.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $1.5 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and $1.2 million lower in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months. Personnel costs were higher in both periods primarily due to union pay rate increases for vessel crews. Drydocking costs were lower in both periods primarily due to drydocking one of the Company’s U.S.-flag product tankers in the Prior Year Quarter and a reduction in drydocking activity for harbor towing and bunkering. Leased-in equipment charges were higher in both periods due to the sale and leaseback of one of the Company’s U.S.-flag product tankers during the Current Year Quarter and the sale and leaseback of seven harbor tugs during the Prior Six Months.
Administrative and General. Administrative and general expenses were $0.7 million lower in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter primarily due to lower legal fees.
Gains (Losses) on Asset Dispositions and Impairments, Net. During the Current Year Quarter, the Company sold one short-sea container/RORO vessel and sold and leased back one U.S.-flag product tanker for net proceeds of $39.5 million and gains of $28.4 million, all of which were deferred. During the Prior Six Months the Company recognized impairment charges of $3.0 million related to two U.S.-flag harbor tugs while under construction, which were sold and leased back upon their completion.
Operating Income. Excluding the impact of gains on asset dispositions and impairments, operating income as a percentage of operating revenues was 24% in the Current Year Quarter compared with 10% in the Prior Year Quarter and 23% in the Current Six Months compared with 12% in the Prior Six Months. The increases were primarily due to the improvements in operating revenues and lower drydocking costs discussed above.
Other, net. During the Current Six Months, the Company expensed a $4.0 million non-refundable deposit upon the expiration of a new build construction option.
Equity in Earnings of 50% or Less Owned Companies, Net of Tax. Equity in earnings for the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months were primarily due to gains on the dilution of the Company’s investment in Dorian following the completion of equity offerings in which the Company did not participate.

ICP routinely enters into exchange traded positions (primarily corn futures) to offset its net commodity market exposure on raw material and finished goods inventory balances. As of June 30, 2014 and 2013, the net market exposure to corn under its contracts and its raw material and inventory balances was not material.

Segment Profit (Loss). The improvement in the Current Year Quarter compared with the Prior Year Quarter and in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months was primarily due to higher sales volumes of alcohol and improved margins as a result of lower corn costs. In addition, during the Prior Six Months, the Company operated its plant at reduced capacity as industry-wide margins for fuel ethanol sales were negative due to a combination of high corn costs following the 2012 drought and low sales prices as a result of high U.S. fuel ethanol supplies.

Interest Income.  Interest income was higher in the Current Year Quarter and Current Six Months due to a contingent payment received on a note receivable in the Company's lending and leasing portfolio as well as additional interest earned on notes receivable from the Company's 50% or less owned companies.
Interest Expense.  Interest expense was higher in the Current Six Months compared with the Prior Six Months primarily due to the issuance of the Company's 3.0% Convertible Senior Notes in November 2013, partially offset by higher capitalized interest.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
The Company's ongoing liquidity requirements arise primarily from working capital needs, capital commitments and its obligations to repay debt. 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 and cash flows from operations. From time to time, the Company may secure additional liquidity through asset sales or the issuance of debt, shares of Common Stock or common stock of its subsidiaries, preferred stock or a combination thereof.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company's unfunded capital commitments were $412.8 million and included: $86.5 million for 13 offshore support vessels; $1.1 million for two inland river tank barges; $4.6 million for four inland river towboats; $230.2 million for three U.S.-flag product tankers; $78.4 million for one U.S.-flag articulated tug-barge; and $12.0 million for other equipment and improvements. These commitments are payable as follows: $99.7 million is payable during the remainder of 2014; $303.8 million is payable during 2015-2016; and $9.3 million is payable during 2017.
SEACOR’s Board of Directors has previously authorized the Company to purchase any or all of its 7.375% Senior Notes due 2019, which may be acquired through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company did not repurchase any of its 7.375% Senior Notes due 2019. As of June 30, 2014, the aggregate outstanding par value of the Company's 7.375% Senior Notes due 2019 was $233.5 million.
SEACOR’s Board of Directors previously approved a securities repurchase plan that authorizes the Company to acquire Common Stock, which may be acquired through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market conditions. As of June 30, 2014, the remaining authority under the repurchase plan was $60.8 million. Effective July 31, 2014, SEACOR’s Board of Directors increased the Company's authority to repurchase Common Stock to $150.0 million.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding letters of credit totaling $18.2 million with various expiration dates through 2018 and outstanding debt of $873.9 million.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company held balances of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, marketable securities, construction reserve funds and Title XI reserve funds totaling $825.9 million. As of June 30, 2014, construction reserve funds of $315.3 million were classified as non-current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as the Company has the intent and ability to use the funds to acquire equipment.

During the Prior Six Months, net cash used in investing activities of discontinued operations of $8.5 million was primarily due to capital expenditures of Era Group prior to the Spin-off.
Financing Activities
During the Current Six Months, net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations was $95.8 million. The Company:
made scheduled payments on long-term debt and capital lease obligations of $7.2 million;

Short and Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
To date, the Company’s liquidity has not been materially impacted by the current credit environment and management does not expect that it will be materially impacted in the near future. The Company anticipates it will continue to generate positive cash flows from operations and that these cash flows will be adequate to meet the Company’s working capital requirements. In

39


support of the Company’s capital expenditure program or other liquidity requirements, the Company may: use its cash balances; sell securities; utilize construction reserve funds; sell assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions for equipment; issue debt, shares of Common Stock or common stock of its subsidiaries or preferred stock; or a combination thereof.
The Company’s long-term liquidity is dependent upon its ability to generate operating profits sufficient to meet its requirements for working capital, capital expenditures and a reasonable return on shareholders’ investment. The Company believes that earning such operating profits will permit it to maintain its access to favorably priced debt, equity or off-balance sheet financing arrangements. Management will continue to closely monitor the Company’s liquidity and the credit and capital markets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
For a discussion of the Company's off-balance sheet arrangements, refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There has been no material change in the Company's off-balance sheet arrangements during the Current Six Months.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
For a discussion of the Company's contractual obligations and commercial commitments, refer to Liquidity and Capital Resources contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There has been no material change in the Company's contractual obligations and commercial commitments during the Current Six Months.
Contingencies
On July 20, 2010, two individuals purporting to represent a class commenced a civil action in the Civil District Court for the Parish of Orleans in the State of Louisiana, John Wunstell, Jr. and Kelly Blanchard v. BP, et al., No. 2010-7437 (Division K) (the “Wunstell Action”), in which they assert, among other theories, that Mr. Wunstell suffered injuries as a result of his exposure to certain noxious fumes and chemicals in connection with the provision of remediation, containment and response services by ORM, a subsidiary of the Company prior to the ORM Transaction, during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and clean-up in the U.S Gulf of Mexico. The action now is part of the overall multi-district litigation, In re Oil Spill by the Oil Rig "Deepwater Horizon", MDL No. 2179 filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana ("MDL"). The complaint also seeks to establish a “class-wide court-supervised medical monitoring program” for all individuals “participating in BP's Deepwater Horizon Vessels of Opportunity Program and/or Horizon Response Program” who allegedly experienced injuries similar to those of Mr. Wunstell. The Company believes this lawsuit has no merit and will continue to vigorously defend the action and pursuant to contractual agreements with the responsible party, the responsible party has agreed, subject to certain potential limitations, to indemnify and defend ORM in connection with the Wunstell Action and claims asserted in the MDL, discussed further below. Although the Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from this matter, the Company does not expect it will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On December 15, 2010, ORM and NRC, subsidiaries of the Company prior to the ORM Transaction and SES Business Transaction, respectively, were named as defendants in one of the several consolidated “master complaints” that have been filed in the overall MDL. The master complaint naming ORM and NRC asserts various claims on behalf of a putative class against multiple defendants concerning the clean-up activities generally, and the use of dispersants specifically. By court order, the Wunstell Action has been stayed as a result of the filing of the referenced master complaint. The Company believes that the claims asserted against ORM and NRC in the master complaint have no merit and on February 28, 2011, ORM and NRC moved to dismiss all claims against them in the master complaint on legal grounds. On September 30, 2011, the Court granted in part and denied in part the motion to dismiss that ORM and NRC had filed (an amended decision was issued on October 4, 2011 that corrected several grammatical errors and non-substantive oversights in the original order). Although the Court refused to dismiss the referenced master complaint in its entirety at that time, the Court did recognize the validity of the “derivative immunity” and “implied preemption” arguments that ORM and NRC advanced and directed ORM and NRC to (i) conduct limited discovery to develop evidence to support those arguments and (ii) then re-assert the arguments. The Court did, however, dismiss all state-law claims and certain other claims that had been asserted in the referenced master complaint, and dismissed the claims of all plaintiffs that have failed to allege a legally-sufficient injury. A schedule for limited discovery and motion practice was established by the Court and, in accordance with that schedule, ORM and NRC filed for summary judgment re-asserting their derivative immunity and implied preemption arguments on May 18, 2012. Those motions were argued on July 13, 2012 and are still pending decision. In addition to the indemnity provided to ORM, pursuant to contractual agreements with the responsible party, the responsible party has agreed, subject to certain potential limitations, to indemnify and defend ORM and NRC in connection with these claims in the MDL. Although the Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from this matter, the Company does not expect it will have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Subsequent to the filing of the referenced master complaint, ten additional individual civil actions have been filed in or removed to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana concerning the clean-up activities generally, which name the Company, ORM and/or NRC as defendants or third-party defendants and are part of the overall MDL. By court order, all of these additional individuals' cases have been stayed until further notice. On April 8, 2011, ORM was named as a defendant in

40


Johnson Bros. Corporation of Louisiana v. BP, PLC, et al., No. 2:11-CV-00781 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by an individual business seeking damages allegedly caused by a delay on a construction project alleged to have resulted from the clean-up operations. On April 13, 2011, the Company was named as a defendant in Mason v. Seacor Marine, LLC, No. 2:11-CV-00826 (E.D. La.), an action in which plaintiff, a former employee, alleges sustaining personal injuries in connection with responding to the explosion and fire, but also in the months thereafter in connection with the clean-up of oil and dispersants while a member of the crew of the M/V Seacor Vanguard. Although the case is subject to the MDL Court’s stay of individual proceedings, the employee moved to sever his case from the MDL on July 16, 2012, which the Court denied on March 5, 2013. The employee filed a motion asking the Court to reconsider, which was denied on May 3, 2013, and the employee filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (“Fifth Circuit”) on May 22, 2013. On July 24, 2013, the Company filed a motion to dismiss for lack of appellate jurisdiction, which was granted on August 16, 2013. The same company employee has also brought a claim in the M/V Seacor Vanguard vessel’s limitation action in the MDL which relates to any actions that may have been taken by vessels owned by the Company to extinguish the fire. On April 15, 2011, ORM and NRC were named as defendants in James and Krista Pearson v. BP Exploration & Production, Inc. ("BP Exploration"), et al., No. 2:11-CV-00863 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by a husband and wife, who allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and are seeking damages for personal injury, property damage to their boat, and amounts allegedly due under contract. On April 15, 2011, ORM and NRC were named as defendants in Thomas Edward Black v. BP Exploration, et al., No. 2:11-CV-00867 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by an individual who is seeking damages for lost income because he allegedly could not find work in the fishing industry after the oil spill. On April 20, 2011, a complaint was filed in Darnell Alexander, et al. v. BP, PLC, et al., No. 2:11-CV-00951 (E.D. La.) on behalf of 117 individual plaintiffs that seek to adopt the allegations made in the referenced master complaint against ORM and NRC (and the other defendants). Plaintiffs in this matter have since been granted leave to amend their complaint to include 410 additional individual plaintiffs. On October 3, 2012, ORM and NRC were served with a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint by Jambon Supplier II, L.L.C. and Jambon Marine Holdings L.L.C. in their Limitation of Liability action, In the Matter of Jambon Supplier II, L.L.C., et al., No. 2:12-CV-00426 (E.D. La.). This Third-Party Complaint alleges that if claimant David Dinwiddie, who served as a clean-up crewmember aboard the M/V JAMBON SUPPLIER II vessel during the clean-up efforts, was injured as a result of his exposure to dispersants and chemicals during the course and scope of his employment, then said injuries were caused by the third-party defendants. On November 25, 2012, ORM was named as a defendant in Victoria Sanchez v. American Pollution Control Corp. et al., No. 2:12-CV-00164 (E.D. La.), a maritime suit filed by an individual who allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and sustained personal injuries during the course of such employment. On December 17, 2012, the Court unsealed a False Claims Act lawsuit naming ORM as a defendant, Dillon v. BP, PLC et al., No. 2:12-CV-00987 (E.D. La.)., which is a suit by an individual seeking damages and penalties arising from alleged false reports and claims made to the federal government with respect to the amount of oil burned and dispersed during the clean-up. The federal government has declined to intervene in this suit. On April 8, 2013, the Company, ORM, and NRC were named as defendants in William and Dianna Fitzgerald v. BP Exploration et al., No. 2:13-CV-00650 (E.D. La.), which is a suit by a husband and wife whose son allegedly participated in the clean-up effort and became ill as a result of his exposure to oil and dispersants. Finally, on April 17, 2013, ORM was named as a defendant in Danos et al. v. BP America Production Co. et al., No. 2:13-CV-03747 (removed to E.D. La.), which is a suit by eight individuals seeking damages for dispersant exposure either as a result of their work during clean-up operations or as a result of their residence in the Gulf. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these matters but believes they are without merit and does not expect that they will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On February 18, 2011, Triton Asset Leasing GmbH, Transocean Holdings LLC, Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling Inc., and Transocean Deepwater Inc. (collectively “Transocean”) named ORM and NRC as third-party defendants in a Rule 14(c) Third-Party Complaint in Transocean's own Limitation of Liability Act action, which is part of the overall MDL, tendering to ORM and NRC the claims in the referenced master complaint that have already been asserted against ORM and NRC. Transocean, Cameron International Corporation, Halliburton Energy Services, Inc., and M-I L.L.C. also filed cross-claims against ORM and NRC for contribution and tort indemnity should they be found liable for any damages in Transocean's Limitation of Liability Act action and ORM and NRC have asserted counterclaims against those same parties for identical relief. Weatherford U.S., L.P. and Weatherford International, Inc. (collectively "Weatherford") had also filed cross-claims against ORM and NRC, but moved to voluntarily dismiss these cross-claims without prejudice on February 8, 2013. The Court granted Weatherford's motion that same day. Transcoean's limitation action, and thus the remainder of the aforementioned cross-claims, remains pending. As indicated above, the Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these actions but believes they are without merit and does not expect that these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
On November 16, 2012, 668 individuals who served as beach clean-up workers in Escambia County, Florida during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response commenced a civil action in the Circuit Court for the First Judicial Circuit of Florida, in and for Escambia County, Abney et al. v. Plant Performance Services, LLC et al., No. 2012-CA-002947, in which they allege, among other things, that ORM and other defendants engaged in the contamination of Florida waters and beaches in violation of Florida Statutes Chapter 376 and injured the plaintiffs by exposing them to dispersants during the course and scope of their employment. The case was removed to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida on January 13, 2013, Abney et al. v. Plant Performance Services, LLC et al., No. 3:13-CV-00024 (N.D. Fla.), and on January 16, 2013, the United States Judicial Panel on

41


Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”) issued a Conditional Transfer Order (“CTO”) transferring the case to the MDL, subject to any timely-filed notice of objection from the plaintiffs. Upon receipt of a notice of objection from the plaintiffs, a briefing schedule was set by the JPML, and so a stay of proceedings and suspension of deadlines was sought and obtained by the Court in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida. Following briefing before the JPML, the case was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and consolidated with the MDL on April 2, 2013. On April 22, 2013, a companion case to this matter was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, Abood et al. v. Plant Performance Services, LLC et al., No. 3:13-CV-00284 (N.D. Fla.), which alleges identical allegations against the same parties but names an additional 174 plaintiffs, all of whom served as clean-up workers in various Florida counties during the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response.  A CTO was issued by the JPML on May 2, 2013, no objection was filed by the plaintiffs, and the case was transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and consolidated with the MDL on May 10, 2013.  By court order, both of these matters have been stayed until further notice. The Company is unable to estimate the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these matters but believes they are without merit and does not expect that these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Separately, on March 2, 2012, the Court announced that BP Exploration and BP America Production Company ("BP America") (collectively "BP") and the plaintiffs had reached an agreement on the terms of two proposed class action settlements that will resolve, among other things, plaintiffs' economic loss claims and clean-up related claims against BP. The parties filed their proposed settlement agreements on April 18, 2012 along with motions seeking preliminary approval of the settlements. The Court held a hearing on April 25, 2012 to consider those motions and preliminarily approved both settlements on May 2, 2012. A final fairness hearing took place on November 8, 2012. The Court granted final approval to the Economic and Property Damages Class Action Settlement ("E&P Settlement") on December 21, 2012, and granted final approval to the Medical Benefits Class Action Settlement ("Medical Settlement") on January 11, 2013. Both class action settlements were appealed to the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit affirmed the MDL Court's decision concerning the E&P Settlement on January 10, 2014, and also affirmed the MDL Court's decision concerning the interpretation of the E&P Settlement with respect to business economic loss claims on March 3, 2014. The appeal of the Medical Settlement, on the other hand, was voluntarily dismissed and the Medical Settlement became effective on February 12, 2014. The deadline for bringing a claim to the Medical Benefits Claims Administrator is one year from the effective date of the Settlement. Although neither the Company, ORM, or NRC are parties to the settlement agreements, the Company, ORM, and NRC are listed as released parties on the releases accompanying both settlement agreements. Consequently, barring any further successful appeal, class members who did not file timely requests for exclusion will be barred from pursuing economic loss, property damage, personal injury, medical monitoring, and/or other released claims against the Company, ORM, and NRC. The Company believes these settlements have reduced the Company and ORM's potential exposure, if any, from some of the pending actions described above, and continues to evaluate the settlements' impacts on these cases.
On January 29, 2013, HEPACO, LLC ("HEPACO"), served a demand for arbitration upon ORM, in which HEPACO claimed that ORM owed HEPACO an additional fee of $20,291,178.92 under the parties' Management Services Agreement (“MSA”), dated June 1, 2010.  HEPACO claimed that the MSA required ORM to pay HEPACO an additional fee of 30% of total charges paid under the MSA ("Surcharge") to compensate HEPACO for U.S. Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' insurance or Jones Act insurance and related risks attendant to the work when a contract requires labor to be performed over, adjoining and/or in water. On June 23, 2014, ORM and HEPACO entered into an agreement to settle HEPACO's claims in the arbitration without a material impact to the Company's results of operations or cash flows and, on July 2, 2014, the HEPACO arbitration was dismissed with prejudice.
ORM is defending against two collective action lawsuits, each asserting failure to pay overtime with respect to individuals who provided service on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response (the “DPH FLSA Actions”) under the Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”).  These cases, Dennis Prejean v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01045) (the “Prejean Action”) and Himmerite et al. v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc. et al. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01533) (the “Himmerite Action”), were each brought on behalf of certain individuals who worked on the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response and who were classified as independent contractors.  The Prejean and Himmerite Actions were each filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and then subsequently consolidated with the overall MDL, in which the Himmerite Action was stayed pursuant to procedures of the MDL.  However, both the Prejean and Himmerite Actions were severed from the MDL on September 19, 2013, and referred to a Magistrate Judge for pretrial case management, including issuing a scheduling order, overseeing discovery, and any other preliminary matters.  On October 31, 2013, ORM filed an answer in the Himmerite Action.  In the Himmerite Action, pursuant to an earlier tolling order entered by the Court, the limitations periods for potential plaintiffs to opt-in to the action has been tolled pending further action by the Court.  In the Prejean Action, ORM has answered the complaint and a scheduling order has been issued. On November 6, 2013, the Court conditionally certified a collective class in the Prejean Action.  On December 9, 2013 the Court approved a jointly-submitted form notice and authorized the issuance of notice to all members of the conditionally certified class in the Prejean Action. On December 20, 2013, ORM served plaintiffs’ counsel with a list containing information for approximately 330 potential class members in the Prejean Action. The deadline for plaintiffs to file executed consent forms with the Court has expired. As of February 28, 2014 the Court-ordered deadline for potential class members to opt into the class, 142 individuals have opted in. Although the Court has conditionally certified the

42


Prejean class, the Court has not made a final ruling on whether a class exists. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position that a class should not be certified, and intends on filing a motion to decertify the Prejean class. The Court has also not yet ruled on any of the merits of Plaintiffs’ claims. The Company does not expect the potential exposure, if any, resulting from these DPH FLSA Actions will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows, but believes the actions are without merit and will continue to vigorously defend against them.
In a related action, Baylor Singleton et. al. v. O'Brien's Response Management Inc. et. al. (E.D. La., Case No.: 2:12-cv-01716) (the “Singleton Action”), which was also filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana and in which plaintiffs alleged claims similar to those alleged in the Prejean and Himmerite Actions, the parties reached a full and final settlement agreement on February 13, 2014 with respect to all of the Plaintiff’s individual claims for an undisclosed amount. On April 11, 2014, the Court approved the parties’ settlement and dismissed the Singleton Action with prejudice in its entirety. The Court also ordered that the tolling order which had been entered in the Singleton Action expired as of April 11, 2014.
In the course of the Company's business, it may agree to indemnify the counterparty to an agreement.  If the indemnified party makes a successful claim for indemnification, the Company would be required to reimburse that party in accordance with the terms of the indemnification agreement.  Indemnification agreements generally are subject to threshold amounts, specified claim periods and other restrictions and limitations.
In connection with the SES Business Transaction and the ORM Transaction, the Company remains contingently liable for certain obligations, including potential liabilities relating to work performed in connection with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill response. In the case of the SES Business Transaction, such potential liabilities may not exceed the consideration received by the Company for the SES Business Transaction and in the case of the ORM Transaction are subject to a negotiated cap. The Company currently is indemnified under contractual agreements with BP.
During the six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company received net litigation settlement proceeds of $14.7 million from an equipment supplier relating to the May 2008 mechanical malfunction and fire onboard the SEACOR Sherman, an anchor handling towing supply vessel then under construction.  Upon settlement of the litigation, the Company recognized a gain of $14.7 million.
In the normal course of its business, the Company becomes involved in various other litigation matters including, among other things, claims by third parties for alleged property damages and personal injuries. Management has used estimates in determining the Company's potential exposure to these matters and has recorded reserves in its financial statements related thereto where appropriate. It is possible that a change in the Company's estimates of that exposure could occur, but the Company does not expect such changes in estimated costs would have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
For a discussion of the Company’s exposure to market risk, refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There has been no significant change in the Company’s exposure to market risk during the Current Six Months.
ITEM 4.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
With the participation of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, management evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of June 30, 2014. Based on their evaluation, the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014.
The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures have been designed to ensure that the Company records, processes, accumulates and communicates information to management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures and submission within the time periods specified in the Security and Exchange Commission's rules and forms. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those determined to be effective can provide only a level of reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
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 three months ended June 30, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
