CENTRAL PARKING CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

(1) Basis of Presentation

a. The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Central Parking Corporation and subsidiaries (“Central Parking” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U. S. generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation, consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments. All significant inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Operating results for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2005. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto for the year ended September 30, 2004 (included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A). Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

b. The Company applies the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations including Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 44, Accounting for Certain Transactions involving Stock Compensation, an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 25, to account for its fixed-plan stock options. Under this method, compensation expense is recorded for fixed-plan stock options only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price on the date of grant. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, established accounting and disclosure requirements using a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation plans. As allowed by SFAS No. 123 and SFAS No. 148 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure, and amendment of FASB Statement No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the intrinsic-value-based method of accounting described above, and has adopted only the disclosure requirements of these statements. In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment, which will require the Company to compute and recognize compensation cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity investments on the grant-date at their fair value. The Company will be required to adopt SFAS 123R effective October 1, 2005. The following table illustrates the effect on net income if the fair-value-based method had been applied to all outstanding and unvested awards in each period (in thousands).

		Three Months ended								Nine Months ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2005				2004				2005				2004
Net earnings, as reported		$	4,880			$	5,968			$	14,625			$	17,898
Add stock-based employee compensation expense included in reported net income, net of tax			—				—				—				—
Deduct total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under fair-value-based method for all awards, net of tax			(976	)			(834	)			(2,939	)			(2,096	)
Pro forma net earnings		$	3,904			$	5,134			$	11,686			$	15,802
Earnings per share:
Basic-as reported		$	0.13			$	0.16			$	0.40			$	0.49
Basic-pro forma		$	0.11			$	0.14			$	0.32			$	0.44
Diluted-as reported		$	0.13			$	0.16			$	0.40			$	0.49
Diluted-pro forma		$	0.11			$	0.14			$	0.32			$	0.43

     Deductions for stock-based employee compensation expense in the table above were calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company utilizes both the single option and multiple option valuation

approaches. Calculations of compensation expense were made using inputs of historical option terms for option grants made to the Company’s employees and historical Central Parking Corporation stock price volatility. The Company applies a 40% tax rate to arrive at the after tax deduction.

(2) Earnings Per Share

     Basic earnings per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, or if restricted shares of common stock were to become fully vested.

     The subordinated convertible debentures have not been included in the diluted earnings per share calculation since such securities are anti-dilutive. Such securities were convertible into 1,419,588 shares of common stock on both June 30, 2005 and 2004. Also, for the Nine months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, options to purchase 2,538,527 and 2,938,869 shares, respectively are excluded from the calculation of diluted common shares since they are anti-dilutive.

(3) Property-Related Gains, Net

     The Company routinely disposes of or recognizes impairment related to owned properties, leasehold improvements, contract rights, lease rights, other intangible assets and other long-term deferred expenses due to various factors, including economic considerations, unsolicited offers from third parties, loss of contracts and condemnation proceedings initiated by local government authorities. Leased and managed properties are also periodically evaluated and determinations may be made to sell or exit a lease obligation. For locations that are being discontinued, gains and losses on the sale or condemnation of property, equipment, leasehold improvements, contract rights and lease rights are included as a component of discontinued operations as are gains and losses on the termination, prior to the end of the contractual term, of lease or management obligations. Impairments associated with parking facilities that meet the criteria to be classified as assets held-for-sale as defined in SFAS No. 144 are also included as a component of discontinued operations. Impairment charges for property, equipment, leasehold improvements, contract and lease rights and other intangible assets for locations that are not being discontinued are included as a component of property-related gains or losses. A summary of property-related gains and losses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004 is as follows (in thousands):

		Three months ended								Nine months ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2005				2004				2005				2004
Net gains on partial sale of property held for use		$	2,112			$	6,053			$	19,601			$	12,308

Impairment charges for contract rights, lease rights and other intangible assets			(2,932	)			(4,591	)			(3,062	)			(4,952	)
Property-related (losses) gains, net		$	(1,171	)		$	1,462			$	15,464			$	5,997

(4) Intangible Assets

     As of June 30, 2005, the Company had the following amortizable intangible assets (in thousands):

		Gross
		Carrying				Accumulated
		Amount				Amortization				Net
Contract and lease rights		$	143,481			$	61,489			$	81,992
Noncompete agreements			2,575				2,385				190
Total		$	146,056			$	63,874			$	82,182

     Amortization expense related to the intangible assets was $2.0 and $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004, and $5.6 and $6.6 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 and June 30, 2004.

(5) Long-Term Debt

     On February 28, 2003, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) initially providing for an aggregate availability of up to $350 million consisting of a five-year $175 million revolving loan, including a

sub-limit of $90 million for standby letters of credit, and a $175 million seven-year term loan. The facility is secured by the stock of certain subsidiaries of the Company, certain real estate assets, and domestic personal property assets of the Company and certain subsidiaries.

     On January 25, 2005, the Company completed an amendment to the Credit Facility. The amended facility reduced the aggregate availability to $300 million consisting of a $225 million revolving loan and a $75 million term loan. The maturity dates remained the same, February 28, 2008, for the revolver and March 31, 2010, for the term loan. Additionally, the interest rate margins were reduced for both the revolver and term loans. The quarterly amortization schedule was also amended. The new schedule requires term loan payments in the amount of $187,500 for the quarters ended March 2005 through March 2008 and $9.1 million for the quarters ended June 2008 through March 2010. The revolving loan is required to be repaid in February 2008. The aggregate availability under the Credit Facility was $108.7 million at June 30, 2005, which is net of $44.3 million of stand-by letters of credit.

     The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a tier-based margin dependent upon certain financial ratios. There are separate tiers for the revolving loan and term loan. The weighted average margin as of June 30, 2005 was 192 basis points. The amount outstanding under the Company’s Credit Facility was $146.6 million consisting of a $74.6 million term loan and a $72.0 million revolving loan, with an overall weighted average interest rate of 5.1% as of June 30, 2005.

     The amended credit facility continues to contain customary covenants. The Credit Facility contains covenants including those that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, restrict further indebtedness and certain acquisition activity and limit the amount of dividends paid. The primary ratios are a leverage ratio, senior leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. Quarterly compliance is calculated using a four quarter rolling methodology and is measured against specified targets. The Company was in compliance with the covenants at June 30, 2005.

(6) Derivative Financial Instruments

     The Company uses variable rate debt to finance its operations. These debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in interest rates. If interest rates increase, interest expense would increase. Conversely, if interest rates decrease, interest expense would decrease. Management believes it is prudent to limit the variability of its interest payments.

     To meet this objective, the Company periodically enters into various types of derivative instruments to manage fluctuations in cash flows resulting from interest rate risk. These instruments include interest rate swaps and caps. Under interest rate swaps, the Company receives variable interest rate payments and makes fixed interest rate payments, thereby effectively creating fixed-rate debt. Purchased interest rate cap agreements also protect the Company from increases in interest rates that would result in increased cash interest payments made under its Credit Facility. Under interest rate cap agreements, the Company has the right to receive cash if interest rates increase above a specified level.

     The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for any purpose other than cash flow hedging purposes. That is, the Company does not speculate using derivative instruments. The Company assesses interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. The Company maintains risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both the Company’s outstanding or forecasted debt obligations as well as the Company’s offsetting hedge positions. The risk management control systems involve the use of analytical techniques, including cash flow sensitivity analysis, to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest rates on the Company’s future cash flows.

     At June 30, 2005, the Company’s derivative financial instruments consisted of two interest rate swaps with a combined notional amount of $87.5 million. These derivative financial instruments are reported at their fair values and are included as other assets on the consolidated balance sheets. The following table lists the fair value of the derivative financial instruments (amounts in thousands):

		June 30,				September 30,
		2005				2004
Derivative instrument assets:
Interest rate swaps		$	2,498			$	1,268

     The underlying terms of the interest rate swaps, including the notional amount, interest rate index, duration, and reset dates, are identical to those of the associated debt instruments and therefore the hedging relationship results in no ineffectiveness. Accordingly, such derivative instruments are classified as cash flow hedges. As such, any changes in the fair market value of these derivative instruments are included in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) on the consolidated balance sheets.

(7) Discontinued Operations

     As of June 30, 2005, the Company designated as discontinued operations certain held-for-sale or disposed locations, with revenues of $4.0 million and pretax loss of $4.7 million for the nine-month period ended June 30, 2005, resulting in a loss from discontinued operations of $2.9 million, including $4.3 million in property related losses. The facts and circumstances leading to discontinued operations classification and the expected disposals include expected property sales, condemnations, or early lease and management agreement terminations. Included in the three and nine months ended June 30, 2005 are the year-to-date results of operations for all locations discontinued during the respective period as well as the locations designated as held-for-sale during fiscal year 2004 but not yet sold. The Company’s prior period results have been reclassified to reflect the operations of the locations discontinued in the first nine months of fiscal 2005 as discontinued operations, net of related income taxes.

(8) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

     In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R requires the company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. SFAS 123R will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2005. See footnote (1) for additional information.

(9) Commitments and Contingencies

     In June and July 2003, four stockholders filed separate lawsuits against the Company, its former CEO, its former CFO and its current Chairman in the U. S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The plaintiff in each case sought to represent a plaintiff class of purchasers of Central Parking’s Common Stock. The plaintiff in each case claimed that the defendants made material misrepresentations and/or omissions in connection with the Company’s financial statements for the quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 and about the Company’s internal controls in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which allegedly caused the plaintiffs to buy Company stock at inflated prices. By order dated December 10, 2003, the Court consolidated the cases under the name, In re: Central Parking Corporation Securities Litigation, civil action No. 03-CV-0546, appointed two individuals as co-lead plaintiffs and approved their selection of counsel. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on February 13, 2004, in which plaintiffs added the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accountant as a defendant and in which the plaintiffs added a number of allegations. The amended complaint also sought to extend the putative class period during which investors purchased the Company’s Common Stock by approximately nine months (February 5, 2002 to February 13, 2003). On April 23, 2004, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit. On August 11, 2004, the court dismissed all claims against the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accountant, but denied the motion to dismiss with respect to the Company and the individual defendants. On January 27, 2005, the Company announced that an agreement in principle had been reached to settle the lawsuit. Under the agreement in principle, the Company’s primary liability insurance carrier agreed to fully fund a $4.9 million payment to be used to provide all benefits to shareholder class members and their counsel, and to cover related notice and administrative costs. A definitive settlement agreement was executed and, on April 8, 2005, the court entered an order granting preliminary approval of the negotiated settlement. Notice of the proposed settlement was mailed to all class members. The final hearing on the proposed settlement was held on June 10, 2005 and the settlement was approved on that date.

     In addition to the matters described above the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability with respect to those proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, operations, or liquidity of the Company. The Company maintains property casualty insurance coverage for individual claims in excess of various dollar amounts, subject to annual aggregate limits. The primary amount of such coverage is $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate per facility. In addition, the Company purchases umbrella/excess liability coverage. The Company’s various property casualty insurance policies have deductibles of up to $350,000 that must be met before the insurance companies are required to reimburse the Company for costs and liabilities relating to covered claims. The Company also provides health insurance for many of its employees and purchases a stop-loss policy with a deductible of $150,000 per claim. As a result, the Company is, in effect, self-insured for all of these types of claims up to the deductible levels.

(12) Subsequent Events

     On July 14, 2005, the Company announced that it has completed the sale of its leasehold interest in a parking garage at 839 6^th Avenue in New York City for $39 million. The sale will result in a property-related gain included in continuing operations in the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter of approximately $38 million.

     The Company sold its rights under the lease, which had a term ending in 2016, to a developer. The lease produced pre-tax profits in fiscal 2004 of approximately $1.7 million. At the closing of the transaction, the Company entered into an agreement to operate the parking garage for the next 18 months on terms expected to produce pre-tax profits of approximately $1.1 million per year.

Overview

     The Company is a leading provider of parking and related services. Central Parking operates parking facilities in 37 states, the District of Columbia, Canada, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Chile, Columbia, Peru, Venezuela, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, Spain, Germany, Poland, Greece, Italy and Switzerland. The Company also provides ancillary products and services, including parking consulting, shuttle, valet, on-street and parking meter enforcement, and billing and collection services. As of June 30, 2005, Central Parking operated 1,717 parking facilities through management contracts, leased 1,599 parking facilities, and owned 183 parking facilities, either independently or in joint ventures with third parties.

     Central Parking operates parking facilities under three general types of arrangements: management contracts, leases and fee ownership. Parking revenues consist of revenues from leased and owned facilities. Cost of parking relates to both leased and owned facilities and includes rent, payroll and related benefits, depreciation (if applicable), maintenance, insurance, and general operating expenses. Management contract revenues consist of management fees (both fixed and performance based) and fees for ancillary services such as insurance, accounting, equipment leasing, and consulting. The cost of management contracts includes insurance premiums, claims and other direct overhead.

     The Company believes that most commercial real estate developers and property owners view services such as parking as potential profit centers rather than cost centers. Many of these parties outsource parking operations to parking management companies in an effort to maximize profits or leverage the original rental value to a third-party lender. Parking management companies can increase profits by using managerial skills and experience, operating systems, and operating controls unique to the parking industry.

     The Company’s strategy is to increase the number of profitable parking facilities it operates by focusing its marketing efforts on adding facilities at the local level and targeting real estate managers and developers with a national presence.

     The Company continues to view privatization of certain governmental operations and facilities as an opportunity for the parking industry. For example, privatization of on-street parking fee collection and enforcement in the United Kingdom has provided significant opportunities for private parking companies. In the United States, several cities have awarded on-street parking fee collection and enforcement and parking meter service contracts to for-profit parking companies such as Central Parking.

Critical Accounting Policies

     Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations discusses the Company’s consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Accounting estimates are an integral part of the preparation of the financial statements and the financial reporting process and are based upon current judgments. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 reported period. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their complexity and the possibility that future events affecting them may differ materially from the Company’s current judgments and estimates.

     This listing of critical accounting policies is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of the Company’s accounting policies. In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, with no need for management’s judgment regarding accounting policy. The Company believes that of its significant accounting policies, as discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2004, the following involve a higher degree of judgment and complexity:

     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill

     As of June 30, 2005, the Company’s long-lived assets were comprised primarily of $345.2 million of property, equipment and leasehold improvements, $82.0 million of contract and lease rights, $234.3 million of goodwill and $11.0 million of deferred expenses. In accounting for the Company’s long-lived assets, other than goodwill and other intangible assets, the Company applies the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangible assets under the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

     The determination and measurement of an impairment loss under these accounting standards require the continuous use of significant judgment and estimates. The determination of fair value of these assets includes cash flow projections that assume certain future revenue and cost levels, assumed discount rates based upon current market conditions and other valuation factors, all of which involve the use of significant judgment and estimation. The Company recorded impairment losses of approximately $3.3 million during the three months ($3.3 million in continuing operations) ended June 30, 2005 as a result of underperforming locations, upon termination or disposal and premature closures and $7.5 million ($4.1 in continuing operations and $3.4 million in discontinued operations) during the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as a result of underperforming locations, upon termination or disposal and premature closures. Future events may indicate differences from management’s judgments and estimates, which could, in turn, result in increased impairment charges in the future. Future events that may result in increased impairment charges include increases in interest rates, which would impact discount rates, unfavorable economic conditions or other factors, which could decrease revenues and profitability of existing locations, and changes in the cost structure of existing facilities.

     Contract and Lease Rights

     As of June 30, 2005, the Company had $82.0 million of contract and lease rights. The Company capitalizes payments made to third parties, which provide the Company the right to manage or lease facilities. Lease rights and management contract rights, which are purchased individually, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the original terms of the related agreements, which range from 5 to 30 years. Management contract rights acquired through acquisition of an entity are amortized as a group over the estimated term of the contracts, including anticipated renewals and terminations based on the Company’s historical experience (typically 15 years). If the renewal rate of contracts within an acquired group is less than initially estimated, accelerated amortization or impairment may be necessary.

     Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

     As of June 30, 2005, the Company had $72.6 million of gross trade receivables, including management accounts receivable and accounts receivable – other. Additionally, the Company had a recorded allowance for doubtful accounts of $3.3 million. The Company reports management accounts receivable, net of an allowance for doubtful accounts, to represent its estimate of the amount that ultimately will be realized in cash. The Company reviews the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts on an ongoing basis, using historical collection trends, analyses of receivable portfolios by region and by source, aging of receivables, as well as review of specific accounts, and makes adjustments in the allowance as necessary. Changes in economic conditions, specifically in the Northeast United States, could have an impact on the collection of existing receivable balances or future allowance considerations.

     Insurance

     The Company purchases comprehensive liability insurance covering certain claims that occur at parking facilities it owns, leases or manages. The primary amount of such coverage is $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate per facility. In addition, the Company purchases umbrella/excess liability coverage. The Company’s various liability insurance policies have deductibles of up to $350,000 that must be met before the insurance companies are required to reimburse the Company for costs incurred relating to covered claims. In addition, the Company’s

worker’s compensation program has a deductible of $250,000. The Company also provides health insurance for many of its employees and purchases a stop-loss policy with a deductible of $150,000 per claim. As a result, the Company is, in effect, self-insured for all claims up to the deductible levels. The Company applies the provisions of SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies, in determining the timing and amount of expense recognition associated with claims against the Company. The expense recognition is based upon management’s determination of an unfavorable outcome of a claim being deemed as probable and reasonably estimated, as defined in SFAS No. 5. This determination requires the use of judgment in both the estimation of probability and the amount to be recognized as an expense. Management utilizes historical experience with similar claims along with input from legal counsel and third party administrators in determining the likelihood and extent of an unfavorable outcome for certain general litigation. Future events may indicate differences from these judgments and estimates and result in increased expense recognition in the future.

     Income Taxes

     The Company uses the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to account for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The Company has certain net operating loss carry forwards, which expire between 2005 and 2018. The ability of the Company to fully utilize these net operating losses to offset taxable income is limited due to changes in ownership of the companies, which generated these losses. These limitations have been considered in the determination of the Company’s deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The valuation allowance provides for net operating loss carry forwards for which recoverability is deemed to be uncertain. The carrying value of the Company’s net deferred tax assets assumes that the Company will be able to generate sufficient future taxable income in certain tax jurisdictions, based on estimates and assumptions. If these estimates and related assumptions change in the future, the Company will be required to adjust its deferred tax valuation allowances.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based Payment. SFAS No. 123R requires the company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. SFAS 123R will be effective for the Company beginning October 1, 2005.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2004

     Parking revenues in the third quarter of fiscal year 2005 decreased to $139.4 million from $145.7 million in the third quarter of fiscal year 2004, a decrease of $6.3 million, or 4.3%. The decrease of $6.3 million is due to a decrease of $8.4 million related to closed locations and a decrease of $3.5 million related to contracts converted from lease to management deals, partially offset by an increase of $3.0 million from new locations, and an increase in same store sales of $2.6 million.

     Management contract revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 were essentially flat compared to the prior year period.

     Cost of parking in the third quarter of 2005 decreased to $124.8 million from $131.7 million in the third quarter of 2004, a decrease of $6.9 million or 5.2%. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction in the number of operating locations, including elimination of several unprofitable locations, and was composed of a $3.9 million decline in rent expense, a $1.5 million decrease in payroll, a $0.5 million decrease in depreciation and a $0.5 million decrease in property taxes. Rent expense as a percentage of parking revenues decreased to 50.9% during the quarter ended June 30, 2005, from 51.4% in the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Payroll and benefit expenses were 18.8% of parking revenues during the third quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to 19.0% in the comparable prior year period. Cost of parking as a percentage of parking revenues decreased to 89.6% in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 from 90.4% in the third quarter of fiscal 2004.

     Cost of management contracts in the third quarter of fiscal 2005 decreased to $12.5 million from $13.2 million in the comparable period in 2004, a decrease of $0.7 million or 5.2%. Cost of management contracts as a percentage of management contract revenue decreased to 39.2% for the third fiscal quarter of 2005 from 41.3% for the same period in 2004.

     General and administrative expenses increased to $20.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 from $17.6 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004, an increase of $2.8 million or 16.0%. This increase is due to an increase in professional expenses of $1.1 million related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance efforts and $0.8 million related to the terminated discussions regarding the possible sale of the Company, an increase of $1.1 million in payroll and severance costs offset by a reduction of $0.2 million in other expenses. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues (excluding reimbursement of management contract expenses) increased to 11.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 compared to 9.9% for the third quarter of fiscal 2004.

     Net property-related losses for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $1.2 million. The $1.2 million loss was comprised of gains on sale of property of $2.1 million, comprised primarily of a gain of $1.9 million on a property in Seattle, offset by $3.3 million of impairments of leasehold improvements, contract rights and other intangible assets primarily related to one location in segment one and one location in segment two. Based on current operating results, the Company’s recent forecast for the next fiscal year, required capital improvements, and certain lease term uncertainties, management determined that the projected cash flows for these locations would not be enough to recover the remaining value of the assets. The Company’s property-related gains for the three months ended June 30, 2004 of $1.5 million were comprised primarily of a gain on sale of property of $6.1 million partially offset by a $4.5 million lease buy out.

     For the three months ended June 30, 2005, the Company either disposed of or designated as held-for-sale certain locations, resulting in a loss from discontinued operations of $0.4 million, net of tax. The Company’s prior period results were reclassified to reflect the operations of the locations discontinued in the first, second and third quarter of fiscal 2005 as discontinued operations, net of related income taxes.

     Interest expense decreased to $4.3 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 from $4.8 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004, a decrease of $0.5 million or 10.9%. The decrease was attributed to a decrease in the weighted average debt outstanding under the Credit Facility.

     The weighted average balance outstanding for the Company’s debt obligations and subordinated convertible debentures was $252.4 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2005, at a weighted average interest rate of 6.2% compared to a weighted average balance outstanding of $288.5 million at a weighted average rate of 6.0% during the quarter ended June 30, 2004. Amortization of deferred finance costs was included in the calculation of the weighted average interest rate.

     The Company recorded an income tax expense on earnings from continuing operations of $3.4 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 as compared to income tax expense of $5.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2004, a change of $1.8 million. The effective tax rate on earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the third quarter of fiscal 2005 was 39.3% compared to 43.8% for the first quarter of fiscal 2004. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to the mixture of domestic and foreign earnings.

Nine Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Nine Months Ended June 30, 2004

     Parking revenues in the first nine months of fiscal year 2005 decreased to $416.6 million from $436.5 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2004, a decrease of $19.9 million, or 4.6%. The decrease of $19.9 million is due to a decrease of $24.7 million for closed locations and a decrease of $11.6 million related to contracts converted from lease to management deals, offset by an increase in same store sales of $6.4 million and an increase from new locations of $10.0 million.

     Management contract revenues for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 decreased to $91.5 million from $94.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal year 2004, a decline of $3.1 million or 3.3%. The decrease was related to changes in contract terms, fewer special events and other revenue reductions.

     Cost of parking in the first nine months of 2005 decreased to $378.7 million from $393.9 million in the first nine months of 2004, a decrease of $15.2 million or 3.9%. The decrease was due primarily to a reduction in the number of operating locations, including elimination of several unprofitable locations, and was composed of a $10.3 million decline in rent expense, a $4.1 million decrease in payroll and a $1.7 decrease in property taxes. Items offsetting these expense reductions in cost of parking

were higher insurance costs due to adjustments in accruals related to higher than estimated claims costs in liability. Rent expense as a percentage of parking revenues was essentially flat compared to the prior year period. Payroll and benefit expenses were 18.6% of parking revenues during the first nine months of fiscal 2005 as compared to 18.7% in the comparable prior year period. Cost of parking as a percentage of parking revenues increased to 90.9% in the first nine months of fiscal 2005 from 90.2% in the first nine months of fiscal 2004.

     Cost of management contracts in the first nine months of fiscal 2005 increased to $42.8 million from $41.3 million in the comparable period in 2004, an increase of $1.5 million or 3.6%. The increase was primarily caused by an increase of $1.3 million in liability insurance claims expense, and an increase of $0.2 million in other expenses. Cost of management contracts as a percentage of management contract revenue increased to 46.8% for the first nine months of 2005 from 43.7% for the same period in 2004.

     General and administrative expenses increased to $60.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 from $53.7 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004, an increase of $6.5 million or 12.0%. This increase is due to an increase in professional expenses of $2.6 million related to Sarbanes-Oxley compliance efforts and an increase of $2.8 million in payroll and severance costs, and $1.1 million in other expenses for the first nine months of fiscal 2005. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues (excluding reimbursement of management contract expenses) increased to 11.8% for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 compared to 10.1% for the first nine months of fiscal 2004.

     Net property-related gains for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was $15.5 million. The $15.5 million gain was comprised of a gain on sale of property of $19.6 million, comprised primarily of a gain of $9.6 million on a property in New York, $8.1 million on a property in Denver and a $1.9 million on a property in Seattle. The Company incurred $4.1 million of impairments of leasehold improvements, contract rights and other intangible assets primarily related to one location in segment one, five locations in segment two and one location in segment nine. Based on current operating results, the Company’s recent forecast for the next fiscal year, required capital improvements, and certain lease term uncertainties, management determined that the projected cash flows for these locations would not be enough to recover the remaining value of the assets. Net property-related gains for the nine months ended June 30, 2004 was $6.0 million. The $6.0 million gain was comprised of a gain on sale of property of $12.3 million partially offset by a $4.5 million lease buy out and $1.8 million of impairments of contract rights, leasehold improvements and deferred expenses related to locations which management plans to continue to operate.

     For the nine months ended June 30, 2005, the Company either disposed of or designated as held-for-sale or disposal certain locations, resulting in a loss from discontinued operations of $2.9 million, net of tax. The Company’s prior period results were reclassified to reflect the operations of the locations discontinued in the first, second and third quarter of fiscal 2005 as discontinued operations, net of related income taxes.

     Interest expense decreased to $14.2 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 from $15.2 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004, a decrease of $1.0 million or 6.7%. The decrease was attributed to a decrease in the weighted average debt outstanding under the Credit Facility.

     The weighted average balance outstanding for the Company’s debt obligations and subordinated convertible debentures was $279.1 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2005, at a weighted average interest rate of 6.2% compared to a weighted average balance outstanding of $315.6 million at a weighted average rate of 5.9% during the nine months ended June 30, 2004. Amortization of deferred finance costs was included in the calculation of the weighted average interest rate.

     The Company recorded an income tax expense on earnings from continuing operations of $11.7 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 as compared to income tax expense of $12.9 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2004, a change of $1.2 million. The effective tax rate on earnings from continuing operations before income taxes for the first nine months of fiscal 2005 was 40.0% compared to 40.6% for the first nine months of fiscal 2004. The decrease in the effective tax rate is due to the mixture of domestic and foreign earnings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was $8.7 million, a decrease

of $20.0 million from net cash provided by operating activities of $28.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2004. The primary factors, which contributed to this change, were a decrease in net earnings and an increase in operating assets primarily related to accounts receivable increases in the United Kingdom as a result of new contracts for the nine months ended June 30, 2005.

     Net cash provided by investing activities was $31.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $49.6 million for the same period in the prior year. This change was primarily due to a decrease in proceeds from the disposition of property and equipment. The $36.0 million proceeds for the nine months ended June 30, 2005, related primarily to property sales in Denver, New York and Seattle. The $62.0 million of proceeds from disposition consists primarily of $42.8 million received from the sale of eleven properties and $19.2 million received from Connex as part of the conversion of the United Kingdom rail contract from a leased arrangement to a management agreement.

     Net cash used by financing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2005 was $39.7 million compared to cash used of $80.5 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2004. This change was primarily due to higher credit facility repayments, during the nine months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to repayments on the Credit Facility during the nine months ended June 30, 2004.

     On February 28, 2003, the Company entered into a credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) initially providing for an aggregate availability of up to $350 million consisting of a five-year $175 million revolving loan, including a sub-limit of $90 million for standby letters of credit, and a $175 million seven-year term loan. The facility is secured by the stock of certain subsidiaries of the Company, certain real estate assets, and domestic personal property assets of the Company and certain subsidiaries.

     On January 25, 2005, the Company completed an amendment to the Credit Facility. The amended facility reduced the aggregate availability to $300 million consisting of a $225 million revolving loan and a $75 million term loan. The maturity dates remained the same, February 28, 2008, for the revolver and June 30, 2010, for the term loan. Additionally, the interest rate margins were reduced for both the revolver and term loans. The quarterly amortization schedule was also amended. The new schedule requires the term loan payments in the amount of $187,500 for the quarters ended March 2005 through March 2008 and $9.1 million for the quarters ended June 2008 through March 2010. The revolving loan is required to be repaid in February 2008. The aggregate availability under the Credit Facility was $108.7 million at June 30, 2005, which is a net of $44.3 million of stand-by letters of credit.

     The Credit Facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a tier-based margin dependent upon certain financial ratios. There are separate tiers for the revolving loan and term loan. The weighted average margin as of June 30, 2005 was 192 basis points. The amount outstanding under the Company’s Credit Facility was $146.6 million consisting of a $74.6 million term loan and a $72.0 million revolving loan, with an overall weighted average interest rate of 5.1% as of June 30, 2005.

     The amended credit facility continues to contain customary covenants. The Credit Facility contains covenants including those that require the Company to maintain certain financial ratios, restrict further indebtedness and certain acquisition activity and limit the amount of dividends paid. The primary ratios are a leverage ratio, senior leverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio. Quarterly compliance is calculated using a four quarter rolling methodology and is measured against specified targets. The Company was in compliance with the covenants at June 30, 2005.

     Central Parking believes its cash flows and the Credit Facility are sufficient for its cash needs over the next twelve months; however if Central Parking identifies investment opportunities requiring cash in excess of Central Parking’s cash flows and the Credit Facility, Central Parking may seek additional sources of capital, including seeking to further amend the Credit Facility to obtain additional indebtedness.

     Future Cash Commitments

     The Company routinely makes capital expenditures to maintain or enhance parking facilities under its control. The Company expects capital expenditures for fiscal 2005 to be approximately $17 to $19 million, of which the Company has spent $8.9 million during the first nine months of fiscal 2005.

     The following tables summarize the Company’s total contracted obligations and commercial commitments as of June 30, 2005 (amounts in thousands):

		Payments due by period
						Less than				1-3				3-5				After 5
		Total				1 Year				Years				Years				Years

Subsequent Event

     On July 14, 2005, the Company announced that it has completed the sale of its leasehold interest in a parking garage at 839 6^th Avenue in New York City for $39 million. The sale will result in a property-related gain included in continuing operations in the Company’s fourth fiscal quarter of approximately $38 million.

     The Company sold its rights under the lease, which had a term ending in 2016, to a developer. The lease produced pre-tax profits in fiscal 2004 of approximately $1.7 million. At the closing of the transaction, the Company entered into an agreement to operate the parking garage for the next 18 months on terms expected to produce pre-tax profits of approximately $1.1 million per year.

     On August 3, 2005, Central Parking Corporation announced a new strategic plan designed to improve profitability. The Company also announced changes in senior management and plans to conduct a “Dutch Auction” tender offer.

     The Company’s new strategic plan is designed to streamline operations and focus on core competencies and key markets with the greatest potential for growing profits.

     The Company also announced that Emanuel Eads, who has served as President and Chief Operating Officer since May 2003, has been named President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. Monroe Carell, Jr., Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, will become Executive Chairman of the Board of Directors. In his new role, Mr. Carell will continue to be involved in all strategic aspects of the business and will lead the Company’s efforts to re-emphasize the importance of client relationships.

     The Company also announced that it intends to commence a modified “Dutch Auction” tender offer to purchase up to approximately 12% of its common stock. The final number of shares, timing, the price range and other details of the offer will be determined on the date the tender offer is commenced. The Company expects to finance the purchase of the shares from cash proceeds from property sales and from the Company’s credit facility. The credit facility will require certain changes in order to conduct a tender offer of the size being considered, and the Company is seeking the requisite approvals from its bank group.

     Monroe J. Carell, Jr., has advised the Company that neither he nor other members of the Carell family intend to tender any of their shares in the event the Company proceeds with the tender offer that is under consideration.

     The Company currently expects to commence the tender offer in the near term, but there can be no assurance that the Company will commence a tender offer nor any assurances regarding the number of shares, timing, price range or other details of any such tender offer.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure about Market Risk

     Interest Rates

     The Company’s primary exposure to market risk consists of changes in interest rates on variable rate borrowings. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had $146.6 million of variable rate debt outstanding under the Credit Facility priced at LIBOR plus a weighted average margin of 192 basis points. Of this amount, $74.6 million of the Credit Facility is payable in quarterly installments of $187,500 through March 2008 and quarterly payments of $9.1 million from June 2008 through March 2010 and $72.0 million in revolving credit loans, which are due in February 2008. The Company anticipates paying the scheduled quarterly payments from operating cash flows.

     The Company is required under the Credit Facility to enter into and maintain interest rate protection agreements designed to limit the Company’s exposure to increases in interest rates. On May 30, 2003, the Company entered into two interest rate swap transactions for a total of $87.5 million. Both transactions swapped the Company’s floating LIBOR interest rates for fixed interest rate of 2.5% until June 30, 2007. Both of these derivative instruments have terms consistent with the terms of the Credit Facility and qualify as cash flow hedges.

     The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s Credit Facility at June 30, 2005 was 5.1%, including the effect of the related interest rate swaps. An increase (decrease) in LIBOR of 1% would result in an increase (decrease) of annual interest expense of $1.0 million based on the Company’s un-hedged outstanding Credit Facility balance of $103.4 million at June 30, 2005.

     In March 2000, a limited liability company, of which the Company is the sole shareholder, purchased a parking structure for $19.6 million and financed $13.3 million of the purchase price with a five-year note bearing interest at one-month floating LIBOR plus 162.5 basis points. In April 2005, the limited liability company amended the note. The amendment extended the term to a maturity date of February 28, 2008. The amended $12.7 million loan will continue to

bear interest at a floating basis based on LIBOR plus 162.5 basis points. The Company intends to swap the floating LIBOR rate to a fixed rate with the terms of the derivative instrument being consistent with the amended loan.

     Foreign Currency Risk

     The Company’s exposure to foreign exchange risk is minimal. As of June 30, 2005, the Company has approximately GBP 0.8 million (USD $1.5 million) of cash and cash equivalents denominated in British pounds, EUR 1.9 million (USD $2.3 million) denominated in euros, CAD 0.5 million (USD $0.4 million) denominated in Canadian dollars, and USD $0.9 million denominated in various other foreign currencies. The Company also has EUR 0.7 million (USD $0.8 million) of notes payable denominated in euros at June 30, 2005. These notes bear interest at a floating rate of 4.1% as of June 30, 2005, and require monthly principal and interest payments through 2012. The Company does not hold any hedging instruments related to foreign currency transactions. The Company monitors foreign currency positions and may enter into certain hedging instruments in the future should it determine that exposure to foreign exchange risk has increased. Based on the Company’s overall currency rate exposure as of June 30, 2005, management does not believe a near-term change in currency rates, based on historical currency movements, would materially affect the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

(a)

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures: Under the supervision and with participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2005 are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in the Company’s periodic reports and that such information is (i) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management in a timely manner, and (ii) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

(b)

Changes in internal control over financial reporting: There has been no change (including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies) in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has occurred during the Company’s fiscal quarter ended June 30,2005 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

     In June and July 2003, four stockholders filed separate lawsuits against the Company, its former CEO, its former CFO and its current Chairman in the U. S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. The plaintiff in each case sought to represent a plaintiff class of purchasers of Central Parking’s Common Stock. The plaintiff in each case claimed that the defendants made material misrepresentations and/or omissions in connection with the Company’s financial statements for the quarter and fiscal year ended September 30, 2002 and about the Company’s internal controls in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which allegedly caused the plaintiffs to buy Company stock at inflated prices. By order dated December 10, 2003, the Court consolidated the cases under the name, In re: Central Parking Corporation Securities Litigation, civil action No. 03-CV-0546, appointed two individuals as co-lead plaintiffs and approved their selection of counsel. The plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on February 13, 2004, in which plaintiffs added the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accountant as a defendant and in which the plaintiffs added a number of allegations. The amended complaint also sought to extend the putative class period during which investors purchased the Company’s Common Stock by approximately nine months (February 5, 2002 to February 13, 2003). On April 23, 2004, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the lawsuit. On August 11, 2004, the court dismissed all claims against the Company’s Independent Registered Public Accountant, but denied the motion to dismiss with respect to the Company and the individual defendants. On January 27, 2005, the Company announced that an agreement in principle had been reached to settle the lawsuit. Under the agreement in principle, the Company’s primary liability insurance carrier agreed to fully fund a $4.9 million payment to be used to provide all benefits to shareholder class members and their counsel, and to cover related notice and administrative costs. A definitive settlement agreement was executed and, on April 8, 2005, the court entered an order

granting preliminary approval of the negotiated settlement. Notice of the proposed settlement was mailed to all class members. The final hearing on the proposed settlement was held on June 10, 2005 and the settlement was approved on that date.

     In addition to the matters described above the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate liability with respect to those proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the financial position, operations, or liquidity of the Company. The Company maintains property casualty insurance coverage for individual claims in excess of various dollar amounts, subject to annual aggregate limits. The primary amount of such coverage is $1 million per occurrence and $2 million in the aggregate per facility. In addition, the Company purchases umbrella/excess liability coverage. The Company’s various property casualty insurance policies have deductibles of up to $350,000 that must be met before the insurance companies are required to reimburse the Company for costs and liabilities relating to covered claims. The Company also provides health insurance for many of its employees and purchases a stop-loss policy with a deductible of $150,000 per claim. As a result, the Company is, in effect, self-insured for all of these types of claims up to the deductible levels.
