Our net income in the third quarter of 2007 decreased $1.0 million compared to the same period last year. The decrease to our net income was due primarily to lower revenues, decreased other income and increased operating expenses. Total operating revenues decreased $0.6 million in the current period as compared to the third quarter of 2006. Revenues decreased primarily due to the reduction of long-term rates effective January 1, 2007, an increase in volumes sold at a discount and decreased demand for other transportation services. The revenue decrease was partially offset by a reduction to net revenue in the

third quarter of 2006 due to an increase in our provision for billings subject to refund related to revenue recorded in second quarter 2006. The increase to our provision for billings subject to refund was made to reflect the filed settlement of our rate case. The remaining decrease to net income of $0.4 million for the third quarter of 2007 as compared with the same period last year was due to increased depreciation and amortization, increased operations and maintenance expense and decreased other income, partially offset by decreased taxes other than income.

Our average contracted capacity was 96 percent and 97 percent of design capacity for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At September 30, 2007, substantially all of our design capacity was contracted on a firm basis for the fourth quarter of 2007.
