Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority Management’s Discussion and Analysis September 30, 2006 and 2005

1

The following Management Discussion and Analysis (MD & A) of the Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority’s (the Authority) activities and financial performance provides an introduction to the basic financial statements of the Authority for the year ended September 30, 2006 with comparative information for the year ended September 30, 2005. The information contained in this MD & A should be considered in conjunction with the information contained in the financial statements and the notes thereto, which are essential to a full understanding of the financial statement data. Authority Background and History The Authority is an independent special district pursuant to the constitution and laws of Florida, particularly Chapter 91-358, Laws of Florida, as amended, revising and consolidating Chapter 31263, Special Laws of Florida, 1955, which, by the Act authorized the Authority to own and operate the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (the Airport). The Authority has jurisdiction, control, supervision and management of the Airport. The Authority's Board consists of six members who are appointed on a non-partisan basis to four-year staggered terms. The Act requires that three members of the Authority be residents of, and be appointed within, each of Sarasota and Manatee Counties. The Act further requires that the Chairperson elected by the members thereof, alternate county representation annually. The Airport is situated on approximately 1,100 acres located in Sarasota and Manatee Counties and the City of Sarasota. It is classified as a small hub airport by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The airport has two crossing asphalt-surfaced runways, 4/22 (NE/SW) and 14/32 (SE/NW). Both runways were built in the early 1940’s. Runway 4/22, at 5,004 feet long is used almost exclusively by general aviation aircraft. Runway 14/32 was extended in 1969 to 7,003 feet and again in 2001 to its present length of 9,500 feet. As the main carrier runway, it is used by commercial jets as well as general aviation aircraft. The current terminal building opened to travelers on October 29, 1989. It is located southwest of the intersection of runways 4/22 and 14/32 and has approximately 240,000 square feet of interior space. The terminal project, including the new building, parking area, ramp space and landscaping took nearly ten years to apply for and be approved by the local governments, regional planning councils and the State of Florida. Construction began in 1987 and was completed in 1990. The construction costs were approximately $58 million for which $72.8 million in bonds were issued with $12 million being subsequently redeemed, leaving approximately $61 million outstanding. The Authority is self supporting, using aircraft landing fees, fees from terminal and other rentals, and revenues from concessions to fund operating expenses. Operating expenses of the Authority are not taxpayer funded. Construction programs are funded by federal and state grants, Passenger Facility Charges (PFCs), and Authority revenues.

Sarasota Bradenton International Airport activities during 2006 as compared to 2005 are as follows:

% IncreaseFY 2006 FY 2005 (Decrease)

Enplanements 689,673 652,483 5.7%Aircraft Operations 163,634 159,261 2.7%Landed Weight 834,934,487 813,432,600 2.6%

The Airport, like most airports, was closed from September 11 through 13, 2001 and reopened on September 14, 2001. The Authority received Federal and State funds of approximately $.1 million in fiscal year 2006 and $1.3 million in fiscal year 2005 to replace lost revenues and additional expenses incurred as a result of the events of September 11, 2001 (September 11). The lost revenue compensation is included in non-operating revenues and the reimbursement of additional expenses is included in federal and state grants in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. The majority of the operating revenues at the Airport are directly related to the number of passenger and aircraft operations. With the addition of new service from AirTran and the addition of JetBlue, there was a significant increase in passenger activity and a resulting increase in operating revenues at the Authority. With the desire of the Authority to increase air service to the Airport, the Authority passed several resolutions waiving fees such as landing fees and terminal rent fees in an effort to improve air service. The Authority issued approximately $.7 million in fee waivers to those airlines who qualified under the fee waiver program during fiscal year 2006 and $.8 million during fiscal year 2005. The following is a summary of the financial results for the year ended September 30, 2006: Operating revenues increased by 7.8% from $14.6 million in fiscal 2005 to $15.7 million in fiscal 2006 due primarily to increased parking lot fees and car rental concessions as a direct result of increased passengers; in addition to rental revenue received from the development of non-aviation land. Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) decreased from $13.3 million in fiscal 2005 to $13.1 million in fiscal 2006 primarily as a result of a decrease in marketing and maintenance costs. Depreciation and amortization decreased from $6.9 million in fiscal 2005 to $6.7 million in fiscal 2006. Operating loss before non-operating revenues and expenses decreased from a loss of $5.6 million in fiscal 2005 to a loss of $4.0 million in fiscal 2006. Non-operating revenues and expenses increased from a net expense of $.1 million in fiscal 2005 to $1.0 million in fiscal 2006 due primarily to the reduction in Federal/State compensation Capital contributions received in the form of grants from Federal and State governments decreased from $9.5 million in fiscal 2005 to $7.3 million in fiscal 2006 due to the fact that several large construction projects were completed in FY 2005, while FY 2006 construction projects were primarily in the design stages.

Summary of Operations and Changes in Net Assets

FY 2006 FY 2005

Operating revenues 15,714,267$ 14,583,053$ Operating expenses (19,744,083) (20,211,432)

Loss before non-operating revenues and expenses (4,029,816) (5,628,379) Non-operating revenues and expenses, net (987,759) (130,983)

Loss before capital contributions (5,017,575) (5,759,362) Capital contributions 7,311,791 9,516,167

Increase in Net Assets 2,294,216$ 3,756,805$ Summary of Net Assets Over time, net assets may serve as a useful indicator of the Authority’s financial position. The Authority’s net assets exceeded liabilities by approximately $110.9 million at September 30, 2006, a $2.3 million increase from September 30, 2005.

FY 2006 FY 2005Assets:

Current and other assets 26,499,357$ 33,190,343$ Capital assets, net 117,640,611 117,155,186

Total assets 144,139,968 150,345,529

Liabilities:Revenue bonds payable, less current portion 26,471,907 34,286,610 Other liabilities 6,785,324 7,470,398

Total liabilities 33,257,231 41,757,008

Net assets:Invested in capital assets, net of related debt 88,023,701 79,655,635 Restricted 6,612,357 14,613,735 Unrestricted 16,246,679 14,319,151

Total net assets: 110,882,737$ 108,588,521$

The largest portion of the Authority’s net assets each year represents its investment in capital assets (e.g., land, buildings, improvements and equipment), less the related indebtedness outstanding used to acquire and construct those capital assets. The Authority uses these capital assets to provide services to its passengers and visitors to the Airport; consequently, these assets are not available for future spending. Although the Authority’s investment in its capital assets is reported net of related debt, the resources required to repay this debt must be provided annually from operations, since it is unlikely the capital assets themselves will be liquidated to pay liabilities. An additional portion of the Authority’s net assets represents bond reserve funds that are subject to external restrictions on how they can be used under bond resolutions, and Passenger Facility Charges that are restricted by Federal regulations and a bond resolution until they can be used to pay future indebtedness. The remaining unrestricted net assets may be used to meet any of the Authority’s ongoing obligations.

Airport Use Agreements The Authority has entered into Airport Use Agreements with the principal commercial air carriers that serve the airport. The original signatory airlines were American Eagle, Air Sunshine, American Trans Air (ATA), Continental, Delta Air Lines, and US Airways. ATA entered Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in October 2004, rejected its signatory agreement with the Authority, and terminated service in April 2005. AirTran Airways signed a signatory agreement in December 2004 and initiated new non-stop service to Atlanta and Baltimore. AirTran added service to Chicago Midway in February 2005 and Indianapolis in November 2005, effectively replacing ATA’s service to those destinations. US Airways emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late 2005, affirmed its signatory agreement with the Authority, and began monthly installments to repay its pre-petition debt. JetBlue Airways signed a signatory agreement and started new non-stop service to JFK airport in New York City, both in September 2006. The signatory airlines are granted the non-exclusive use of the airport for the purpose of operating an air transportation system for the carriage of persons, property, cargo and mail, according to the rules and regulations of the Authority. The term of the use agreement was originally five years, subject to each airline’s right to terminate its agreement for cause upon sixty days prior written notice to the Authority. The agreements for American Trans Air, Continental, Delta and US Airways were set to expire in September 2004. The fiscal year 2001 rate reconciliation, wherein airline rates and charges are reconciled to actual year-end costs, resulted in approximately $800,000 in additional charges being owed to the Authority by the airlines. Considering the financial stresses on the airline industry after the September 11 tragedy and this sizeable amount owed, the Authority successfully negotiated a two-year extension of the agreements with those remaining active airlines in exchange for a waiver of the amount owed. Consequently, the $800,000 is included in other long-term assets and is being amortized over the remaining term of the agreements. These agreements expired at the end of September 2006, and after several months of negotiations, the Airport Use Agreements were successfully amended and extended five years, to an expiration date of September 2011. There are now five signatory airlines, consisting of AirTran Airways, Continental, Delta, JetBlue Airways, and US Airways. Rates and Charges Each of the signatory airlines leases space in the terminal for its exclusive use with the right to make certain leasehold improvements. Each of the signatory airlines pays monthly: (1) rentals for terminal building space, (2) landing fees, and (3) preferential apron space rental. Rentals and landing fees may be adjusted by the Authority, usually on an annual basis, to maintain a balanced budget. Rates and charges for recent years are as follows:

2006 2005 2004Landing fee (per 1,000 lbs MGLW)

Signatory 1.86 1.86 1.89Non-signatory 2.05 2.05 2.08

Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority Management’s Discussion and Analysis September 30, 2006 and 2005 Landing Fees All costs of the airfield runway area, as well as the cost of unleased terminal space, are combined in a monthly landing fee based upon the signatory airline’s aircraft arrivals during the month. The landing fee is computed by multiplying the maximum gross certified landing weight of the aircraft by a landing fee rate expressed in terms of thousand pound units of landed weight. Revenues A summary of revenues for the year ended September 30, 2006 and the amount and percentage of change in relation to prior year amounts is as follows:

Airline Aircraft Departures

As of January 2006, the Airport was served by five national airlines (AirTran, Continental, Delta, Northwest and US Airways) and two commuter airlines (Cape Air, and Comair; collectively, the “Participating Airlines”). In fiscal year 2006, the top four airlines accounted for 71.4% of total enplanements. Delta Air Lines ranks first in number of enplaned passengers (31.2%), with AirTran ranking second (27.7%), Continental third (9.2%) and Northwest Airlines ranking fourth (3.3%). The tables below set forth information on passenger enplanements and landed weight by airlines. The Airport remains actively engaged in on-going marketing activities to enhance service by incumbent carriers as well as recruit service from airlines not currently serving the Airport Service Area, as shown by the welcome addition of JetBlue as a signatory airline as of September 2006.

Financial Statements The Authority’s financial statements are prepared on an accrual basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles promulgated by the Government Accounting Standards Board (“GASB”). The bulk of the operations of the Authority are recorded in a single enterprise fund with revenues recognized when earned, not when received. Expenses are recognized when incurred, not when they are paid. Capital assets are capitalized and, except for land, depreciated over their useful lives. Amounts are restricted for debt service and, where applicable, for construction activities. The accompanying financial statements include statements for the enterprise fund and the Authority’s employee pension plan. The enterprise fund statements are comprised of the Statements of Net Assets; the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets; and the Statements of Cash Flows. Net assets are displayed in three components: invested in capital assets, net of related debt; restricted; and unrestricted. The component of net assets comprising invested in capital assets, net of related debt, includes restricted capital assets, is net of accumulated depreciation and reduced by the outstanding balances of any outstanding debt that is attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvements of those assets. The Statements of Cash Flows present information showing how the Authority’s cash and cash equivalents changed during the fiscal year. The Statements of Cash Flows classify cash receipts and cash payments as resulting from operating activities, capital and non-capital related financing activities, and investing activities. The pension fund statements include a Statements of Plan Net Assets and a Statements of Changes in Plan Net Assets.

Capital Acquisitions and Construction Activities During fiscal year 2006, the Authority expended approximately $6.3 million on capital activities. This included approximately $275,000 for sound insulation and easement acquisitions, as this multi-year project has come to completion, and $1.3 million on terminal building improvements, including enhanced security and bag screening capabilities, installation of a wireless network for public use, and an expanded Customs clearance facility. $3.0 million was also expended for construction of a new facilities maintenance building, with the remaining $1.7 million for runway and taxiway construction projects. During fiscal year 2006, all major projects were on-going and few were actually closed from construction-in-progress to capital accounts. These projects totaled only $46,880 and were as follows: Installation of terminal building wireless network $36,145 Repairs to terminal building skylights $10,735 These acquisitions were funded with Airport Authority funds. Additional information on the Authority’s capital assets and commitments can be found in Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies, of the Notes to the Financial Statements. Long-term Debt Administration

The Authority had outstanding long-term debt of $32.2 million and $39.7 million as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The following table reflects the debt activities that occurred during fiscal year 2006:

Passenger Facilities Charges (PFC) On June 29, 1992, the Authority received approval from the FAA of its first application to impose a $3.00 Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) at the Airport effective September 1, 1992. The authorization to impose the PFC is contingent on continued compliance with the terms of Federal Aviation Regulations. A second application to "use" the proceeds of the first application was filed with the FAA and approval was granted in its Record of Decision dated January 31, 1995. Applications three and four were combined “impose and use” PFC applications and were approved by the FAA in Records of Decision dated December 15, 1995 and October 3, 2000, respectively. On February 22, 2002 an amendment to the fourth application was administratively approved by the FAA that increased the charge level from $3.00 to $4.50 per enplaned passenger and increased the approved collection amount. Since inception of the PFC program, the Authority has collected approximately $33.7 million and expended approximately $30.5 million of these locally generated funds. Request for Information This financial report is designed to provide a general overview of the Authority’s finances for all those interested.

1. Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Entity The Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority (the Authority) is an independent special district pursuant to the constitution and laws of Florida, particularly Chapter 91-358, Laws of Florida, as amended, revising and consolidating Chapter 31263, Special Laws of Florida, 1955, which, by the Act authorized the Authority to own and operate the Sarasota Bradenton International Airport (the Airport). The Authority has jurisdiction, control, supervision and management of the Airport. The Authority's Board consists of six members who are appointed on a non-partisan basis to four-year staggered terms. The Act requires that three members of the Authority be residents of, and be appointed within, each of Sarasota and Manatee Counties. It is mandated that the Chairperson elected by the members thereof, alternate county representation on an annual basis. The Airport is situated on approximately 1,100 acres located in Sarasota and Manatee Counties and the City of Sarasota. It is classified as a small hub airport by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Basis of Presentation The Authority's financial statements are presented in the form of a single enterprise fund which encompasses all financial activity relative to owning, operating, and improving the Airport facilities plus a pension trust fund for the employee defined benefit pension plan. Governmental proprietary operations (enterprise funds) and pension trust funds are accounted for using a flow of economic resources measurement focus on an accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized in the period in which they are earned and expenses are recognized in the period incurred. Revenues from airlines, concessions, rental cars and parking are reported as operating revenues. Transactions which are capital, financing or investing related are reported as non-operating revenues. All expenses related to operating the Airport are reported as operating expenses. Interest expense, financing costs, and certain operating grant expenditures are reported as non-operating expenses. The accounting and reporting policies of the Authority conform with the accounting rules prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB). Private sector standards of financial accounting and reporting issued prior to December 1, 1989 generally are followed in enterprise fund financial statements, to the extent that those standards do not conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements. Governments also have the option of following subsequent private sector guidance for their enterprise funds, subject to this same limitation. The Authority has elected not to follow subsequent private sector guidance.

Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2006 and 2005

23

Net assets for enterprise funds on the accompanying Statements of Net Assets are required to be segregated into the following four categories:

• Invested in capital assets, net of related debt: Capital assets, net of accumulated depreciation and

outstanding debt balances (net of deferred losses and unamortized issuance costs) attributable to the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets.

• Restricted:

Nonexpendable – Net assets subject to externally imposed stipulations requiring that the Airport Authority maintain them permanently. The Authority has no nonexpendable net assets. Expendable – Net assets whose use by the Authority is subject to externally imposed stipulations that can be fulfilled by actions of the Authority pursuant to those stipulations, or that expire by the passage of time. Such assets included the Authority’s bond construction funds on hand.

• Unrestricted: Net assets that are not subject to externally imposed stipulations and are not invested in

capital assets. Unrestricted net assets may be designated for specific purposes by action of management or the Commissioners or may otherwise be limited by contractual agreements with outside parties.

Reporting Entity The accompanying financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Authority in accordance with GASB Statement No. 14, The Financial Reporting Entity, as amended by GASB Statement No. 39, Determining Whether Certain Organizations are Component Units. As a result of applying the reporting entity criteria in GASB Statement Nos. 14 and 39, no other component units exist in which the Authority has any financial accountability, which would require inclusion in the Authority's financial statements. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Authority considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Investments The Authority's investments are managed by the Vice President, Chief Financial Officer in conjunction with the Sarasota County Clerk's Office. Investments in commercial paper are recorded at cost, which approximates fair value. Investments in U.S. Treasury and government agency securities are recorded at fair value, as determined by quoted market prices. The Local Government Investment Pool operated by the Florida State Board of Administration is treated as a "2a-7 like" pool in accordance with GASB Statement No. 31; therefore, it is presented at its actual pooled share price, which approximates fair value. All investment income, including changes in the fair value of investments, is reported as interest and other investment income in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. Pension investments are valued at quoted market prices, if available. The pension plan’s unallocated insurance contracts are valued at contract value. Contract value represents contributions made under the contract plus interest at the contract rate, less funds used to pay benefits or administrative expenses charged by the Principal Life Insurance Company. The pension plan’s unallocated separate accounts are valued at fair value.

Concentrations of Credit Risk The Authority maintains its cash and cash equivalents with a large financial institution. All accounts are guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $100,000 per bank. The Authority has cash deposited that exceeds the federally insured amount, however, management does not anticipate non-performance by the financial institution. Additionally, the Authority has unrestricted and restricted investments in federal government agencies that have a high credit standing. The Authority does not believe there is a significant risk of non-performance from these agencies. Inventories of Materials and Supplies Inventories of materials and supplies are valued at the lower of cost, using the moving-average method, or market. Restricted Assets Certain assets are restricted in accordance with the provisions of the bond covenants and in accordance with FAA restrictions, or as required by law. Assets restricted under the bond covenant are designated primarily for payment of debt service. When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, it is the Authority’s policy to use restricted resources first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. Capital Assets Assets with a cost of $1,000 or more are capitalized and recorded at cost, or the fair value at receipt for contributions. They are depreciated under the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives: Building and structures 10 – 40 years Avigation easements 40 years Runways, taxiways and ramps 20 – 30 years Land improvements 10 – 20 years Fencing 7 – 10 years Lights and signs 7 – 10 years Equipment, furniture and fixtures 5 – 10 years Computers 3 – 5 years Project costs are capitalized and included in construction in progress as the costs are incurred and maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred. The accumulated project costs are transferred to capital assets upon completion. The gain or loss recognized on assets retired or otherwise disposed of is reflected in operations and the associated cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts.

The Airport Authority purchases certain residential parcels of land that are considered to be within the area designated as “noise impacted” surrounding the Airport, as well as administers a program of sound insulation of eligible homes in the 65 DNL area in exchange for avigation easements recorded on the property. The cost of acquisition, structure demolition and other costs associated with the purchase are eligible under the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Noise Compatibility Plan (NCP) for reimbursement. The FAA funds approximately 90% of these costs with the remainder reimbursed by Passenger Facility Charges (PFC) and Authority funds. The FAA retains a continuing interest in the purchased properties equal to its original funding percentages, and restricts the use of such properties to purposes which are compatible with noise levels associated with the operation of airports. The total costs associated with these noise abatement acquisitions are approximately $12.9 million at September 30, 2006 and 2005, and is recorded under the caption “land” in the accompanying Statements of Net Assets. At the present time, the Authority has completed all noise compatibility programs with all interested and eligible residents and considers the NCP complete. Construction in progress consists mainly of terminal modifications to enhance baggage screening security, taxiway and runway construction, and construction of a new facilities building. Deferred Bond Issuance Costs Deferred bond issue costs are amortized over the life of the bonds using the effective interest method for the 2003 bonds and straight line method for the 2006 bonds. Capital Contributions Contributions and grants are funds donated by various governmental agencies and Airport tenants for specific improvement to the Airport facilities (Improvements). In the normal course of business, the Authority applies for and receives money from the FAA under Airport Improvement Program grant agreements. Costs incurred under these agreements are subject to review and approval by the FAA. Contributions and grants for improvements are reported in the Statements of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets after non-operating revenues and expenses as capital contributions. Passenger Facility Charges On June 29, 1992, the Authority received approval from the FAA to impose a $3.00 Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) at the Airport effective September 1, 1992. The authorization to impose the PFC is contingent on continued compliance with the terms of the Federal Aviation Regulations. A use application was filed with the FAA and a decision of approval was granted on December 15, 1995. In addition, another impose and use PFC application was filed and approved by the FAA in its Record of Decision dated October 3, 2000. On February 22, 2002 an amendment to that application was administratively approved by the FAA that increased the charge level from $3.00 to $4.50 per enplaned passenger and increased the approved collection amount. Revenue Recognition Airfield Landing Fee Charges – Landing fees are principally generated from scheduled airlines and non-scheduled commercial aviation and are based on the landed weight of the aircraft. The estimated landing fee structure is determined annually pursuant to an agreement between the Authority and the signatory airlines based on the operating budget of the Authority and is adjusted at year end for the actual landed weight of all aircraft. Landing fees are recognized as revenue when the related facilities are utilized (see Note 7).

Terminal Rents, Out parcel Rentals, Concessions and Ground Transportation – Rental and Concession fees are generated from airlines, parking lots, food and beverage, retail, rental cars, advertising and other commercial tenants. Leases are for terms from one to fifty years and generally require rentals based on the volume of business, with specific minimum annual rental payments required. Rental revenue is recognized over the life of the respective leases and concession revenue is recognized based on reported concessionaire revenue. Other – All other types of revenues are recognized when earned.

Federal/State Compensation As a result of the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001 (September 11) the federal and state governments have provided compensation to the Authority to replace lost revenue and offset capital and operating expenditures for increased security costs (see Note 8). In addition, the Authority received a $1.5 million grant for new airline service (see Note 9).

2. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments

Deposits All of the Authority’s public deposits are held in qualified public depositories pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 280. Qualified public depositories are required to pledge collateral to the State Treasurer with a market value equal to 50% of the average daily balance of all public deposits in excess of any federal deposit insurance. In addition, to the extent that total public deposits exceed the total amount of the regulatory capital accounts of a bank or the regulatory net worth of a savings association, the required collateral shall have a market value equal to 125% of the deposits. In event of default by a qualified public depository, all claims for public deposits would be satisfied by the State Treasurer from the proceeds of federal deposit insurance, pledged collateral of the public depository in default and, if necessary, a pro rata assessment to the other qualified public depositories in the collateral pool. Therefore, the cash and time deposits are fully insured or collateralized.

The carrying value of the Authority’s deposits at September 30, 2006 and 2005 are approximately $6.4 million and $7.3 million respectively. Of the bank balance, $1.5 million was covered by federal depository insurance, $4.9 million was covered by collateral pursuant to Florida Statutes, Chapter 280.

In addition to cash deposits, the Authority maintains cash on hand for the purpose of making change on transactions. The amount of cash on hand as of September 30, 2006 and 2005 was $900.

Interest Rate Risk. As a means of limiting its exposure to fair value losses arising from rising interest rates, the Authority’s investment policy limits its risk by maintaining an investment portfolio with limited volatility. Accordingly, no security shall have an estimated average return of principal exceeding five years. The weighted average duration of principal return for the portfolio shall generally be less than two years. However, securities in restricted accounts will have a maximum maturity consistent with the nature of the restricted accounts.

Concentration of Credit Risk. The Authority’s investment policy establishes limitations on portfolio composition in order to control concentration of credit risk. The policy allows 100% of the portfolio to be invested in U.S. Treasury bills or notes, 75% to be invested in near cash accounts such as the State investment pool or money market and 3c7 accounts, 65% to be invested in other U.S. Government agencies, 40% to be invested in certificates of deposit, 30% to be invested in commercial paper, and 25% to be invested in bankers acceptances. No more than 30% of the entire portfolio may be purchased or sold through one security dealer or bank. The Authority purchased 30% of the portfolio from Bear Stearns, 18% from Raymond James & Associates, 18% from Morgan Keegan, 12% from Citigroup Global Market, 12% from JPM Chase and 10% from FTN Financial.

The Authority places no limit on the amount they may invest in any one issuer. More than 5% of the Authority’s investments are in Federal National Mortgage Association, Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, Federal Home Loan Bank, and Commercial paper. These investments are 36%, 34%, 18% and 12% respectively, of the Authority’s total investments. Deposits and Investments – Pension Trust Fund The Governmental Accounting Standards Board, in Statement No. 40 (GASB 40), requires state and local governments to disclosure certain risks. The disclosures required by GASB 40 provide readers with information concerning the credit and interest risks associated with the plan’s deposits and investments.

Revenue Bonds Series 1984-B Revenue Bonds totaling $72.8 million were issued by the Authority in December 1984 in order to finance construction on new airport terminal facilities to handle current and projected traffic levels. During calendar year 1988, the Authority determined that $11.8 million of the annual variable rate bonds would not be needed for completion of the construction project. The $11.8 million was retired on February 1, 1989 from proceeds of the bonds and interest thereon. On June 30, 1993, the Authority issued $8.7 million in Revenue Refunding Bonds with an interest rate ranging from 3.0% to 5.3% to refinance $7.5 million of its outstanding Series 1984-B Revenue Bonds with an interest rate ranging from 6.8% to 7.8%. The refinancing resulted in an accounting loss of approximately $1.16 million which was deferred in accordance with GASB Statement No. 23 and being amortized over the life of the new bonds which was equivalent to the remaining life of the old bonds. On May 7, 1996, the Authority issued $53.68 million in Airport System Revenue Refunding Bonds with an interest rate ranging from 3.6% to 5.4% and issued $1.2 million in Airport System Taxable Revenue Bonds with an interest rate ranging from 5.6% to 6.1% to refinance all of the remaining outstanding Series 1984-B Revenue Bonds. The refinancing resulted in an accounting loss of approximately $6.989 million. The Authority, in accordance with GASB Statement No. 23, was amortizing this loss over the life of the new bond issue, which was equivalent to the remaining life of the old bonds. The Authority, in effect, reduced its aggregate debt service payments by approximately $6.5 million over 18 years and obtained an economic gain (the difference between present values of the old and new debt service payments) of approximately $4.1 million. On October 23, 2003, the Authority sold $6.34 million of revenue refunding bonds with an average coupon of 3.276% and a true-interest-cost of 3.364% to refinance and replace the Series 1993 issue. The refinancing resulted in an accounting loss of approximately $.6 million which has been deferred in accordance with GASB Statement No. 23, and is being amortized over the life of the new bonds which is equivalent to the remaining life of the old bonds. The new bonds will retain the same final maturity date (September 30, 2014) and will save the Authority over a half-million dollars of gross debt service payments over their remaining term. Net present value savings are approximately $317,000 or 5.1% of the refunded principal. In September 2005, the Authority executed a forward starting interest rate swap agreement with SunTrust Capital Markets. Variable rate demand bonds were sold by the Authority on June 28, 2006 to defease the 1996 Revenue Refunding Bonds. The refunding was completed on the 96 Series first call date of August 1, 2006. The swap agreement locks in a fixed rate of 3.139% and will terminate in September 2014, the same date as the 2006 Bonds. Total present value savings are $1.4 million or 4.5% of the refunding issue. The bonds are limited obligations payable solely from the net revenues of the Authority. The Authority is required to maintain a debt coverage ratio of at least 125% as defined in the Bond Resolution. Certain major air carriers serving the airport have entered into Airline Use Agreements which, taken as a whole, provide that the air carriers will make payments sufficient to enable the Authority to meet its rate covenant obligations. At September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Authority met the minimum debt coverage ratio. As to the fixed rate bonds, principal is payable annually on each August 1, and interest is payable semi-annually on each February 1 and August 1. The Authority is required to deposit, ratably over the twelve months preceding each maturity date, a defined amount calculated to pay the principal amount plus accrued interest due at the payment date. Payment of the principal and interest on the fixed rate bonds are guaranteed by a municipal bond insurance policy. As to interest rate swap, interest and swap related payments are made on a monthly basis to the Trustee. Quarterly letter of credit fees and an annual

Arbitrage Rebate The Tax Reform Act of 1986 generally requires earnings from investments of bond proceeds, which exceed the issuer’s bond yield to be rebated to the U.S. Treasury at periodic intervals, usually every five years. Computations are performed to determine the yield on the bonds, the yield on the invested funds and the determination of the resulting arbitrage rebate liability. As of September 30, 2006 and 2005 there was no liability.

7. Leases

Five-year airline leases were signed effective October 1, 1999. Five airlines signed scheduled airline operating agreements and two signed scheduled regional and commuter airline agreements. The agreements provide funding for the ongoing maintenance, operations, debt service with coverage, and capital improvements of the Airport through various rates and charges. In connection with the new leases, the Authority paid approximately $377,000 in incentive payments to the airlines, which was included in intangible and other assets on the statements of net assets and was amortized over the original term of the leases, ending in 2005.

The airline leases require an annual year-end adjustment to the actual amount of airline rates and charges, wherein charges calculated using budgeted data at the beginning of the fiscal year are reconciled to actual year-end costs, resulting in an under or over collection of revenues with the airlines signatory to the lease agreements. The fiscal year 2001 rate reconciliation resulted in $760,689 owed by the airlines. Considering the financial stresses of the airline industry after the September 11 tragedy and the sizeable amount owed in fiscal year 2002, the Authority successfully negotiated a two-year extension of the leases with the remaining active airlines in exchange for a waiver of the amount owed. Consequently, the $760,689 is included in intangible and other assets on the statements of net assets and is being amortized over the remaining term of the agreements. These lease agreements expired at the end of September 2006, and after several months of negotiations, the Airport Use Agreements were successfully amended and extended five years, to an expiration date of September 2011. There are now five signatory airlines, consisting of AirTran Airways, Continental, Delta, JetBlue Airways, and US Airways.

The fiscal year 2006 year-end adjustment to actual was zero. The fiscal year 2005 year-end adjustment to actual was an over collection of $35,596. This amount is due to the signatory airlines and is included in accounts payable at September 30, 2005. A portion of the Authority's revenue is provided by non-airline lease and concession agreements. These agreements relate to a portion of the Authority's buildings, land, and the privilege to do business at the Airport and have terms ranging from one to ninety-nine years. Many of the agreements contain contingent rental provisions whereby additional amounts, in excess of stated minimums, are due based upon the lessees’ gross revenue. Minimum future lease payments to be received under these operating lease agreements are as follows:

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Following September 11, 2001, the Florida Airport Managers Association (FAMA) Board of Directors met with the Governor in Tallahassee to discuss the impacts of the September 11 tragedy on state airports. As a result of this meeting, the governor of the State of Florida signed legislation on November 16, 2001 that authorized state airports to utilize Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) grant money to pay for capital and operating costs for security and replacement of lost revenue resulting from the events of September 11. Two fiscal years were included in the legislation, fiscal year 2001-2002 and fiscal year 2002-2003, and all state funds available for airport use from prior years’ awards were eligible for this program. The Governor’s office has subsequently extended the funding to pay for lost revenues and additional security costs through fiscal year 2007. On December 17, 2001, the Authority’s Board approved, and the Authority filed, an Expenditure Plan with the FDOT for reimbursement of lost revenue and security expenses as a result of the events of September 11. The plan included a request for up to $2,000,000 to be set aside from existing capital grants for anticipated lost revenue subsequent to September 30, 2001. This Expenditure Plan was approved by the FDOT on April 24, 2002. Additional allocations of $13,153,304 and $1,973,061 were approved at subsequent dates. The Authority received $132,743 and $1,401,186 in federal and state compensation for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The portion that represents the reimbursement of lost revenues ($118,320 for 2006 and $1,352,438 for 2005) is included in non-operating revenues in the Statement of Revenues, Expenses and Changes in Net Assets. The portion that represents reimbursement for security capital expenditures ($14,423 for 2006 and $48,748 for 2005) is included in capital contributions – federal and state grants. The Authority has entered into contracts to purchase property, plant and equipment aggregating approximately $46,945,082 as of September 30, 2006. Of that amount, approximately $24,609,167 has been expended, with the remaining amount anticipated to be expended over the next two years. The majority of these expenditures are expected to be reimbursed to the Authority through grant funding. The Authority is involved in certain legal actions and claims arising in the ordinary course of its business. It is the opinion of management (based on the advice of legal counsel) such litigation and claims will be resolved without material adverse effect on the Authority's net assets, results of operations or cash flows. Grant monies received and disbursed by the Authority are for specific purposes and are subject to review by the grantor agencies. Such audits may result in requests for reimbursement due to disallowance of expenditures. Based on prior experience, the Authority does not believe that such disallowances, if any, would have a material effect on the financial position of the Authority.

9. Revenue Guarantee

In August 2004, the United States Department of Transportation announced that the Airport had been selected to receive a $1.5 million grant under the Small Community Air Service Development Program. The grant was used to provide a revenue guarantee for new airline service with AirTran Airways. In addition, Manatee and Sarasota Counties agreed to reimburse the Authority $250,000 each to assist with advertising for this new air service. AirTran Airways signed a signatory agreement in December 2004 and initiated new non-stop service to Atlanta and Baltimore. AirTran subsequently added service to Chicago Midway in February 2005 and Indianapolis in November 2005. The revenue guarantee paid to AirTran for fiscal years 2006 and 2005 was $74,988 and $1,425,012, respectively, and is included in non-operating expenses. Advertising costs in the amount of $290,611 for fiscal year 2006 and $873,716 for fiscal year 2005 were incurred and are included in marketing expense. Recorded in Federal/State compensation under non-operating income is $120,763 and $1,379,237 for

37

fiscal years 2006 and 2005, respectively, received from the Small Community Air Service Development grant, and $500,000 from the two counties.

10. Major Airline User

The Authority derived a significant portion of its revenues from a major airline user for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005. During 2006, this major airline user handled approximately 31% of the total passenger traffic at the Airport as compared to 43% during 2005. Additionally, this major airline user has a number of separate agreements with the Authority covering various types of property and buildings. Several of those agreements allocate charges to the carrier based upon the airline's market share of passengers and flight activity. Revenues from this airline were approximately $2.7 million and $2.9 million for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The majority of these revenues were derived from building rentals and landing fees.

11. Risk Management

The Authority is a member of the Public Risk Management of Florida (PRM), a liability risk pool. PRM administers insurance activities relating to workers' compensation, property, liability, and automobiles. PRM absorbs the risk of loss up to a specified amount annually and purchases excess and other specific coverages from third-party carriers. PRM assesses each member its pro rata share of the estimated amount required to meet current year losses and operating expenses. During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, the Authority had no significant reductions in insurance coverage from the prior years. In addition, there have been no settlements which exceeded the Authority's insurance coverage in any of the past three fiscal years.

12. Subsequent Events

On October 1, 2006, the Authority entered into a contract with Rural/Metro Fire Department, Inc. to provide the airport with emergency medical and aircraft rescue and firefighting services. This resulted in the layoff of eleven union firefighters and three non-union supervisors. The Authority is currently engaged in effects bargaining with the workers’ collective bargaining agent.

13. Interest Rate Swap

In fiscal year 2005, the Authority entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap agreement with SunTrust Bank. An interest rate swap is a contractual agreement in which one party pays a fixed rate of interest on a notional dollar amount and the other party pays a variable rate of interest on an equal notional dollar amount. An interest rate swap agreement that is forward-starting is executed at a date in advance of the date that the interest begins to accrue. The Authority entered into its forward-starting interest rate in order to immediately establish a fixed interest rate liability on a notional amount intended to match the par amount of variable rate bonds to be issued in the following fiscal year. On September 8, 2005, the Authority entered into the swap, and specified June 29, 2006 as the date on which the interest liability would begin to accrue, which was the date on which it was then anticipated that variable rate bonds would be issued. The terms of the swap provide that the Authority pays semiannually a fixed rate of 3.139% per annum, and receives monthly a variable rate equal to 67% of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The notional dollar amount referenced for the interest calculations is $27,330,000, which amortizes semiannually in order to match the amortization of the bonds. Following the bonds’ issuance and the swap’s effectiveness, the Authority is paying a fixed rate of interest under the swap and a variable rate of interest on the bonds, and receiving a variable rate of

Sarasota Manatee Airport Authority Notes to the Financial Statements September 30, 2006 and 2005

38

interest under the swap. The net of the three interest payments approximates the Authority paying a fixed interest rate. The swap is scheduled to terminate on August 1, 2014, the same date on which the bonds will be completely retired. Fair Value: Because interest rates have risen since the Authority entered into the swap, the swap has a positive fair value as of September 30, 2006 of $109,996. The reported fair value was provided by SunTrust Capital Markets, Inc. using the marked-to-market method. Credit Risk: Because the swap has a positive fair value, the Authority is exposed to the credit risk of SunTrust Bank in the amount of the swap’s fair value. SunTrust Bank has ratings of Aa3 (long-term) and VMIG1 (short-term) by Moody’s Investors Services and AA- (long-term) and A-1+ (short-term) by Standard & Poor’s. Basis Risk: The Authority is exposed to basis risk because the variable rate payments payable to it are calculated on the basis of a 67% of LIBOR (a taxable rate index) and the Authority’s variable rate interest obligations on the bonds is determined in the tax-exempt market. Should the relationship between LIBOR and the tax-exempt market change and move to convergence, or should the bonds trade at levels worse (higher in rate) in relation to the tax-exempt market, the Authority’s all-in costs would increase. Termination Risk: The swap does not contain any out-of-the-ordinary termination events that would expose the Authority to significant termination risk. In keeping with market standards, the Authority or the counterparty may terminate the swap if the other party fails to perform under the terms of the contract. If a termination were to occur, at the time of the termination, the Authority would be liable for payment equal to the swap’s fair value, if it had a negative fair value at that time. The counterparty would be liable for any payment equal to the swap’s fair value, if it had positive fair value at that time. In addition, a termination would mean that the Authority’s variable rate bonds would no longer be hedged, and the Authority would be exposed to interest rate risk, unless it entered into a new hedge following termination. Rollover Risk: Because the swap has a scheduled termination date and a notional amount that are tied to the maturity date and principal amounts of the amortizing bonds, there is no rollover risk associated with the swap, other than in the event of a termination. Swap Payments and Associated Debt: As rates vary, the bond’s interest payments and the swap’s interest payments will vary. As of September 30, 2006, debt service requirements of the variable rate bonds and net swap payments, assuming current interest rates remain the same for their term, were as follows:
