Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors
Connect M1-A1 Holdings Limited
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Connect M1-A1 Holdings Limited
and subsidiary as of March 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations,
shareholders deficit and other comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the year
then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated
financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Connect M1-A1 Holdings Limited and subsidiary as of
March 31, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in
conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

CONNECT M1-A1 HOLDINGS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2006
1. Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Connect M1-A1
Holdings Limited (Holdings), formerly Yorkshire Link (Holdings) Limited, and its wholly owned
subsidiary Connect M1-A1 Limited (Connect M1-A1), formerly Yorkshire Link Limited, (collectively
referred to as the Company). Holdings was established in 1994 as an investment by Balfour Beatty
plc (Balfour Beatty) and Kvaerner plc (Kvaerner). Macquarie European Infrastructure plc
purchased Macquarie Infrastructure (UK) Limited, formerly Kvaerner Corporate Developments Limited,
the vehicle which housed Kvaerners ownership interest in Holdings, in 1999. Balfour Beatty and
Macquarie Infrastructure (UK) Limited (collectively known as the former Shareholders), through
their ownership of Holdings, jointly controlled Connect M1-A1, a limited liability company
incorporated in the United Kingdom that was formed in 1994 to design, build and operate the
Yorkshire Link Road around Leeds, England under a 30 year concession agreement (the Concession
Agreement) with the Secretary of State for Transport (the Transport Secretary).
Macquarie Infrastructure (UK) Limited transferred its ownership in Holdings to Macquarie
Yorkshire Limited (MYL) in April 2003. On December 22, 2004, Macquarie Yorkshire Limited was
acquired by a wholly owned subsidiary of Macquarie Infrastructure Company LLC (MIC). MIC is
a wholly owned subsidiary of Macquarie Infrastructure Company Trust, which is headquartered in New
York, USA and is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. All decisions relating to the Company which
require board approval are approved jointly by the appointed directors of Balfour Beatty and MIC.
Balfour Beatty and MIC are collectively known as the Shareholders.
The Yorkshire Link Road is a motorway link of almost thirty kilometers in length (nineteen
miles) which provides a strategic connection between the M1 and M62 motorways south of Leeds,
England and the A1 Trunk Road south of Wetherby, England. Upon the conclusion of the Concession
Agreement, the Yorkshire Link Road will transfer to the U.K. Government. Connect M1-A1 has certain
obligations set out in the Concession Agreement, including, for example, a requirement to maintain
the road. If Connect M1-A1 defaults on its obligations under the Concession Agreement, the
Transport Secretary may terminate the Concession Agreement without compensation to Connect M1-A1.
In addition, the Transport Secretary may terminate the Concession Agreement under other
circumstances, including the following:
|
|
|
the performance obligations under the Concession Agreement become impossible
without the exercise of a statutory power by the Transport Secretary; |
|
|
|
|
the Transport Secretary chooses not to exercise that power following a
request by the Connect M1-A1; and |
|
|
|
|
Connect M1-A1 and the Transport Secretary fail to agree on an alternative
means of performance within a period of 90 days. |
From March 1996 through February 1999, Connect M1-A1 designed and constructed the Yorkshire
Link Road. The Yorkshire Link Road was officially opened to traffic on February 4, 1999. Connect
M1-A1 is now maintaining and operating the Yorkshire Link Road for the duration of the Concession
Agreement, which expires in March 2026. This Concession Agreement is the sole source of the
Companys revenue and operations and, upon the end of the contract, the Company will be dissolved.
The financial information set out above does not constitute the Companys statutory accounts
for the year ended March 31, 2006. Statutory accounts for 2005 have been delivered to the registrar
of companies, and those for 2006 will be delivered in due course. The Companys auditors have
reported on those accounts; their reports were unqualified and did not contain statements under
section 237(2) or (3) of the Companies Act 1985.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation.
Use of Estimates
9
CONNECT M1-A1 HOLDINGS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States 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 and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates and assumptions are
primarily made in relation to revenue recognition for any period less than twelve months.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as all short-term highly liquid investments with an
original maturity of 90 days or less.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of consumable supplies and materials. Inventories are stated at
the lower of cost or market value. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out basis. Market
value is determined by the quoted price for comparable supplies and materials.
Investment in Concession
The Investment in the Concession, the Yorkshire Link Road, is stated at cost less
accumulated depreciation. The Company capitalized interest cost incurred by Connect M1-A1 during
construction as a component of the Yorkshire Link Road cost of construction. There has been no
interest capitalized during any subsequent period.
Depreciation on the Yorkshire Link Road in any period is determined based on a percentage of
Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) usage in that period relative to the total estimated HGV usage over the
life of the Concession Agreement. Depreciation commenced on February 4, 1999.
Maintenance and repair costs are charged to expense as incurred. Major betterments and
improvements which extend the useful life of the item are capitalized and depreciated.
The Company has scheduled its maintenance and repairs so as to ensure that the Yorkshire Link
Road is in the necessary condition at the date of transfer to the United Kingdom Government. The
Company may incur additional maintenance and repair costs at the end of the Concession
Agreement if the scheduled maintenance and repairs do not achieve that objective.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is
recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives ranging from three to twenty
years.
The cost and accumulated depreciation of property and equipment retired or otherwise disposed
of are removed from the related accounts, and any residual values are charged or credited to
income.
Deferred Finance Costs
Finance costs in relation to the Companys debt are recorded as an asset and amortized over
the terms of the loans, using the effective interest rate method. Deferred finance costs relating
to debt extinguishments are written off to the statement of operations in that period.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be fully recoverable. These events
or changes in circumstances may include a significant deterioration of operating results, changes
in business plans, or changes in anticipated future cash flows. If an impairment indicator is
10
CONNECT M1-A1 HOLDINGS LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
present, the Company evaluates recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets
to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. If the carrying value
exceeds such undiscounted cash flows, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which
the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets. Fair value is generally determined by
estimates of discounted cash flows. The discount rate used in any estimate of discounted cash flows
would be the rate required for an investment of similar risk.
Income Taxes
The Company uses the liability method in accounting for income taxes. Under this method,
deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial
reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates that
will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.
Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management,
it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be
realized.
Revenue Recognition
The Companys sole source of revenue is from the Transport Secretary through a shadow tolling
system that is based on traffic volume, toll rates and vehicle class, as defined in the Concession
Agreement. In accordance with the agreement, the Company receives provisional monthly payments
based on revenues earned in the prior fiscal year ending March 31. An annual reconciliation is
provided shortly after the fiscal year end and any under or overpayment is adjusted. Any difference
between the revenue recognized and the revenue billed is recorded as an unbilled receivable or a
payable.
The Concession Agreement provides traffic bands for the rates per vehicle kilometer (vkm) that
are the basis for the shadow tolls. The rate per vkm in each band generally decreases, as the
traffic volumes increase. These bands are based on annual traffic volumes, as expressed in vkm
terms. The rates per vkm are subject to an indexation factor, as defined by the Concession
Agreement, which varies from time to time. Changes to the indexation factor have the general effect
of decreasing the rate per vkm over the concession period.
For annual periods, revenue is calculated based on the actual traffic volume applying the vkm
rates for that period. The vkm rates represent the contractual traffic band rate modified for the
indexation factor applicable to that period. The annual revenue generated from the concession is
subject to a maximum amount. For periods of less than twelve months, the Company determines an
expected average rate per vehicle for each vehicle class, based on estimated traffic volume, which
is used as the basis for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue based on the actual
traffic volumes at the estimated average rate per vehicle.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
On April 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), which establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and
used for hedging activities. All derivatives, whether designated for hedging relationships or not,
are required to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as
a fair value hedge, all changes in the fair value of the derivative and changes in the fair value
of the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in the statement of operations.
If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, the effective portions of the changes in the
fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the
statement of operations when the hedged item affects earnings. The ineffective portions of both
fair value and cash flow hedges are immediately recognized in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations.
Upon adoption of SFAS 133, to the extent that an entity had derivative instruments that were
consistent with cash flow hedges, the cumulative effect of adoption was required to be recorded as
an adjustment to other comprehensive income (loss) and released over the remaining life of the
interest rate swaps based on the effective interest rate method. The Company recorded a cumulative
effect of adoption, net of tax, of £14.2 million. This balance is released from other comprehensive
income (loss) to the statement of operations each period. The accumulated other comprehensive
income (loss) balance of the Company relates only to derivative instruments.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Following adoption of SFAS 133, the interest rate swaps are accounted for at fair value with
any change in fair value being reflected in the statement of operations each period.
Loans Receivable from Shareholders
The Company records non-interest bearing receivables from Shareholders at the discounted value
based on an estimated discount rate in place at the date of issuance of the amounts. The difference
between the discounted value and the cash value is recorded as a distribution to shareholders. The
Company records interest income based on the imputed rate over the life of the loan and increases
the amount of the receivable.
3. Restricted Cash
In accordance with a restriction in the agreements with Connect M1-A1s lending institutions,
a certain level of cash is restricted in order to maintain a balance sufficient to cover the
anticipated debt service for the following three to six months.

In September 2001, Connect M1-A1 repaid certain of its outstanding debt facilities and
replaced them with new borrowings. At the same time, the former Shareholders purchased the
Subordinated Loan from a third party. As a result, the term of the senior credit facilities were
lengthened from thirteen to twenty-three years.
Senior Bank Loan
The Senior Bank Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.8% per year in 2006 (and increases to 0.9%
per year in 2020) and is repayable in semiannual installments through March 31, 2024.

4. Long-Term Debt (continued)
European Investment Bank (EIB) Loan
The EIB Loan is provided by the EIB to companies to contribute towards the integration,
balanced development and economic and social cohesion of the European Union member countries. This
loan was provided as part of the original financing of the Yorkshire Link Road. A portion of the
loan was guaranteed by a commercial letter of credit (£47.5 million) and a portion of the loan was
guaranteed by the European Investment Fund (EIF) (£22.5 million). The guaranteed portion of the
loan bears interest at 9.23% per year and the remaining portion bears interest at 9.53% per year.
The loan agreement allows the guarantee to be released based on the achievement of certain
financial covenants. These covenants were met in November 2005, in relation to the £47.5 million
letter of credit. The loan is repayable in semiannual installments through March 25, 2020. In the
event of the early retirement of the EIB facility by Connect M1-A1, break funding charges would be
payable by Connect M1-A1, the magnitude of which would depend upon the existing interest rate
environment at the date of early retirement. As of March 31, 2006, the estimated break funding
charges would be approximately £18.9 million.
Junior Subordinated Loan from Shareholders
The subordinated loan from shareholders was entered into on March 26, 1996. The Junior
Subordinated Loan was put in place by the former Shareholders to facilitate the construction of the
Yorkshire Link Road and to provide the shareholders with a fixed return. The subordinated loan
bears interest at 15% per year and it is repayable in 2020.
Subordinated Loan from Shareholders
The subordinated loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 4% per year, with a minimum interest rate
of 6% per year, and is repayable in semi-annual installments from March 31, 2005 through September
30, 2016. The loan, originally with a third party, was purchased equally by the former Shareholders
in 2001. These agreements continue to be in place between Connect M1-A1 and the current
shareholders of the Company, Balfour Beatty and Macquarie Yorkshire Limited. In addition to the
annual interest cost, the loan includes a redemption premium of £6.5 million that is being accreted
based on the effective interest rate over the life of the loan.
The covenants in respect of the senior debt are tested semi-annually for the periods ended
March 31 and September 30. In the commercial senior debt facility, the loan life coverage ratio
cannot be less than 1.15:1, and the debt service coverage ratio for the preceding and following
twelve-month period cannot be less than 1.10:1. In the EIB facility, the loan life coverage ratio
cannot be less than 1.15:1, and the debt service coverage ratio for the preceding and following
twelve-month period cannot be less than 1.13:1. The loan life coverage ratio is calculated by
reference to the expected cash flows of Connect M1-A1 over the life of the senior debt discounted
at the interest rate for the senior debt. If these covenants are not met for any semi-annual
period, subordinated debt and dividend payments from Connect M1-A1 are required to be suspended
until the covenants are complied with. While payments are suspended, excess cash balances are held
by Connect M1-A1 and are not required to be paid towards reducing the senior debt. Connect M1-A1
has been in compliance with all such covenants during the reporting period. At March 31, 2006, the
loan life coverage ratio was 1.31:1 under the commercial senior debt facility and 1.39:1 under the
EIB facility and the debt service coverage ratio was 1.23:1 for the preceding twelve months and
projected at 1.23:1 for the following twelve months.
All of Connect M1-A1s borrowings contain either a fixed or varying security interest over
the assets of Connect M1-A1, as defined by an intercreditor agreement. All long-term debt
facilities would be repaid in advance of other general creditors in the event of Connect M1-A1
becoming insolvent, except as prohibited by any legal restriction.
5. Related Party Transactions
Loans Receivable from Shareholders
Connect M1-A1 has agreements with the Companys Shareholders which allow them to each
borrow available cash, as defined in the agreements. Under the agreements, each shareholder shall
only be entitled to draw an amount if the other shareholder draws the same amount at that time. The
former Shareholders of the Company borrowed on these agreements in 2001 and 2002 and no further
facilities were available for future draw down. These agreements continue to be in place between
Connect M1-A1 and the current shareholders of the Company, Balfour Beatty and Macquarie Yorkshire
Limited.

5. Related Party Transactions (continued)
These loans are non-interest bearing and repayable between 2016 and 2025. Repayments are
deferrable up until the maturity date; however, any deferred repayments attract a penalty interest
rate of LIBOR plus 2% per year. Any deferral of payment must be approved by both of the
Shareholders. The present value of future cash flows, discounted at the long-term zero coupon rate
plus 0.75% per year at the date of each drawdown was recorded as the upstream loan. The difference
between the discounted value and the future value of the loan is accreted over time through
interest income in the statement of operations using the effective interest method.
The borrowing of £14.2 million on September 4, 2001 was discounted at 6.23% per year, the
borrowing of £21.6 million on March 31, 2002 was discounted at 6.16% per year and the borrowing of
£15 million on June 30, 2002 was discounted at 5.97% per year. The gross value of the loans
receivable from Shareholders as of March 31, 2006 is £50.8 million.
Management and Other Services
Under the terms of the Shareholder and Secondment Agreements, either the Balfour Beatty Group
or MIC provide the Company with staff, directors and vehicle rentals. Amounts paid during the year
ended March 31, 2006 were £474,000 for management services, directors fees of £nil and vehicle
rental of £18,000.
As at March 31, 2006, accounts payable included £141,000 due to Balfour Beatty.
As at March 31, 2006, receivables from shareholders of £853,000 represented receivables from
Balfour Beatty and MIC for the compensation of amounts payable under transfer pricing arrangements,
as discussed below in Note 8.

The unrealized trading losses are not expected to expire prior to the end of the
concession. Unrealized trading losses as at March 31, 2006 were £17.1 million.
In assessing the realization of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more
likely than not that such benefit will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets
is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income.

7. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The estimated fair value of the Companys financial instruments at March 31, 2006 is
summarized below. Certain estimates and judgments were required to develop the fair value amounts.
The fair value amounts shown below are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company
would realize upon disposal nor do they indicate the Companys intent or ability to dispose of the
financial instrument.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each material
class of financial instrument:
|
|
|
Loans receivable from Shareholders The fair value of these loans is
determined by discounting future cash flows at the reporting date using the long-term
zero coupon rate plus 0.75% per year at the reporting date. As of March 31, 2006, the
weighted average discount rate used was 5.29% per year. |
|
|
|
|
Long-term debt The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on the
discounted future cash flows using currently available interest rates for similar
instruments. A margin was applied ranging between 0.48% per year for the EIB Loan to
3.27% per year for both of the Subordinated Loans. |

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable
and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The
carrying amount of Connect M1-A1s senior bank loan approximates fair value because of the
variability of the interest cost associated with the instrument.
Connect M1-A1 also enters into interest swap arrangements related to its bank borrowings to
manage its exposure to variability in cash flows associated with floating interest rates. The total
swap notional value approximates 70% of the amortizing debt balance over the term of the senior
bank loan. As of March 31, 2006, Connect M1-A1 had five outstanding interest rate swap
arrangements.
|
|
|
The first arrangement is an interest rate swap, which has a notional amount of £10.3 million as of March 31, 2006 and expires on March 31, 2014. Under this agreement, the fixed rate payable is 9.63% per year. |
|
|
|
|
The second arrangement is an interest rate swap, which has a notional amount of £14.8 million as of March 31, 2006 and expires on March 31, 2014. Under this agreement, the fixed rate payable is 9.45% per year. |
|
|
|
|
The third arrangement is an interest rate swap, which has a notional amount of £17.0 million as of March 31, 2006 and expires on March 31, 2014. Under this agreement, the fixed rate payable is 9.45% per year. |
|
|
|
|
The fourth arrangement is an interest rate swap, which has a notional amount
of £17.0 million as of March 31, 2006 and expires on March 31, 2014. Under this
agreement, the fixed rate payable is 9.45% per year. |
|
|
|
|
The fifth arrangement is an interest rate swap, which has a notional amount
of £67.9 million as of March 31, 2006 and expires on March 31, 2024. Under this
agreement, the fixed rate payable is 5.68% per year. |
The estimated fair value of these five swaps is based on quoted market prices. As of March 31,
2006, the fair value was estimated to be a liability of £15.7 million. The change in fair value is
reflected in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
As of March 31, 2006, the Company was not party to any material legal proceedings.
On March 20, 2004, a fatal road accident occurred on Yorkshire Link. The accident is currently
the focus of an ongoing investigation by local police authorities. As part of their investigation,
the police have interviewed several employees and, pursuant to a search warrant, have collected
certain documentation from Connect M1-A1s offices. Connect M1-A1 has fully cooperated with the
police investigation and, to date, has received no further information with respect to the outcome
of the police investigation. Connect M1-A1 has conducted an internal investigation and believes
that its maintenance of the section of Yorkshire Link where the accident occurred was in compliance
with its obligations under the concession.
Letter of Credit Facilities
Connect M1-A1 had a letter of credit of £47.5 million in place to guarantee a portion of the
EIB Loan. Connect M1-A1 paid a 0.75% per year fee on the letter of credit. The letter of credit was
initially set to expire in 2020 but was cancelled in November 2005 as the Connect M1-A1 was
released from the guarantee requirement for the EIB Loan.
In addition, the Companys Shareholders each provided EIB with letters of credit of £1 million
which were callable if the EIB Loan was prepaid and the Connect M1-A1 did not pay the prepayment
penalties. These letters of credit were cancelled by the end of November 2005 upon the achievement
of certain release test criteria.
EIF Guarantee
Connect M1-A1 has a guarantee facility with EIF to guarantee £22.5 million of the EIB Loan.
Connect M1-A1 pays a contractually agreed-upon fee and the guarantee expires in 2014.
Periodic Maintenance
Connect M1-A1 is required to make ongoing expenditures to maintain the condition of the
Yorkshire Link Road in accordance with the terms of the Concession Agreement. Connect M1-A1
estimates spending approximately £30.4 million, at 2005 prices, on periodic maintenance over the
remaining life of the concession.
Transfer Pricing
On April 1, 2004, the U.K. government introduced Transfer Pricing rules. The new Transfer
Pricing rules require all intercompany debt arrangements to be on an arms-length basis in order to
be respected as loans under U.K. tax law. Connect M1-A1 has loans receivable from the Companys
Shareholders which are non-interest bearing. From April 1, 2004, Connect M1-A1 has imputed interest
and included this as additional interest income in its tax computation. The Shareholders of the
Company compensate Connect M1-A1 through a combination of surrendering losses and making
compensating cash payments equal to the additional tax paid. The impact of the transfer pricing
rules on the financial condition and results of operations of the Company is not material.
9. Subsequent Event
MIC has entered into an agreement that provides for a sale of its 50% interest in Connect
Holdings for GBP 43.6 million. The sale is expected to close before the end of November, 2006,
subject to the waiver or exercise of pre-emptive rights held by Balfour Beatty and customary third
party approvals.
