Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP, for interim financial information 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 notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year as a whole. In the opinion of management, the consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments

KAR Auction Services, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

September 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

necessary, generally consisting of normal recurring accruals, for a fair statement of our financial results for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

These consolidated financial statements and condensed notes to consolidated financial statements are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2010 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. The 2010 year-end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q was derived from the audited financial statements referenced above, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

Business and Nature of Operations

As of September 30, 2011, we have a network of 70 ADESA whole car auctions and 159 IAAI salvage vehicle auctions which facilitate the sale of used and salvage vehicles through physical, online or hybrid auctions, and which permit internet buyers to participate in physical auctions. ADESA Auctions and IAAI are leading, national providers of wholesale and salvage vehicle auctions and related vehicle remarketing services for the automotive industry in North America. Remarketing services include a variety of activities designed to transfer used and salvage vehicles between sellers and buyers throughout the vehicle life cycle. ADESA Auctions and IAAI facilitate the exchange of these vehicles through an auction marketplace, which aligns sellers and buyers. As an agent for customers, the Company generally does not take title to or ownership to substantially all vehicles sold at the auctions. Generally fees are earned from the seller and buyer on each successful auction transaction in addition to fees earned for ancillary services.

ADESA has the second largest used vehicle auction network in North America, based upon the number of used vehicles sold through auctions annually, and also provides services such as inbound and outbound logistics, reconditioning, vehicle inspection and certification, titling, administrative and salvage recovery services. ADESA is able to serve the diverse and multi-faceted needs of its customers through the wide range of services offered at its facilities.

IAAI is one of the two largest providers of salvage vehicle auctions and related services in North America. The salvage auctions facilitate the remarketing of damaged vehicles that are designated as total losses by insurance companies, recovered stolen vehicles for which an insurance settlement with the vehicle owner has already been made and older model vehicles donated to charity or sold by dealers in salvage auctions. The salvage auction business specializes in providing services such as inbound and outbound logistics, inspections, evaluations, titling and settlement administrative services.

AFC is a leading provider of floorplan financing to independent used vehicle dealers and this financing was provided through 89 loan production offices located throughout North America at September 30, 2011. Floorplan financing supports independent used vehicle dealers in North America who purchase vehicles at ADESA, IAAI, independent auctions and auctions affiliated with other auction networks.

Note 2—New Accounting Standards

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The new guidance requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive

KAR Auction Services, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

September 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The new guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3—Acquisitions

In August 2011, ADESA entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with OPENLANE, Inc. (“OPENLANE”). In October 2011, we completed the acquisition of OPENLANE, which became a wholly owned subsidiary of ADESA. OPENLANE is a North American online automotive auction company that provides a market for online buyers and sellers of wholesale vehicles. OPENLANE offers its comprehensive remarketing solutions to auto manufacturers, captive finance companies, lease and daily rental companies, financial institutions and wholesale auto auctions throughout the United States and Canada.

As a result of the merger and pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of OPENLANE common stock and preferred stock (other than those shares of common stock or preferred stock held by OPENLANE) was converted into the right to receive an amount in cash as set forth in the Merger Agreement. In addition, each outstanding OPENLANE stock option and warrant was cancelled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash based on the difference between the per share common stock consideration and the exercise price of the applicable stock option or warrant. The value of the cash consideration payable in the merger was $210 million plus approximately $35 million for excess cash on OPENLANE’s balance sheet at the closing of the merger. We funded the cash consideration paid at closing with a combination of approximately $100 million of existing cash on-hand and borrowings of approximately $145 million from our revolving credit facility. We utilized approximately $35 million of acquired cash to immediately repay a portion of the borrowings on the revolving credit facility. Financial results for the acquisition will be included in our consolidated financial statements beginning in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Some of our acquisitions from prior years include contingent payments related to revenues or unit volumes of certain vehicles sold subsequent to the purchase dates. In the second and third quarters of 2011, we reversed contingent consideration of approximately $5.9 million and recorded contingent consideration of approximately $1.3 million, respectively, related to certain prior year acquisitions based on revised forecasts which indicated the unit volumes required during the measurement period in order for the contingent consideration to become payable would or would not be met. The contingent consideration adjustments were recorded to “Other (income) expense, net” in the consolidated statement of income.

Note 4—Stock-Based Compensation Plans

We adopted the KAR Auction Services, Inc. 2009 Omnibus and Stock Incentive Plan (“Omnibus Plan”) in December 2009. The Omnibus Plan is intended to provide equity or cash based awards to our employees. On February 25, 2011, we granted approximately 0.2 million service options with an exercise price of $14.44 per share under the Omnibus Plan, on May 5, 2011, we granted approximately 0.4 million service options with an exercise price of $18.80 per share under the Omnibus Plan and on August 11, 2011, we granted less than 0.1 million service options with an exercise price of $13.58 per share under the Omnibus Plan. The service options have a ten year life and vest in four equal annual installments, commencing on the first anniversary of the grant date.

KAR Auction Services, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

September 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Our stock-based compensation expense includes expense associated with KAR Auction Services, Inc. service and exit option awards, KAR LLC operating unit awards and Axle LLC operating unit awards. We have classified the KAR LLC and Axle LLC operating units as liability awards. We have classified the KAR Auction Services, Inc. service and exit options as equity awards. The main difference between a liability-classified award and an equity-classified award is that liability-classified awards are remeasured each reporting period at fair value. We did not capitalize any stock-based compensation cost in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.

The compensation cost that was charged against income for service and exit options was $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and the total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statement of income for options was approximately $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011. We recognized a reduction in compensation expense for the KAR LLC and Axle LLC operating units of approximately $12.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011 to reduce expense previously recorded. The reduction in KAR LLC and Axle LLC operating unit compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2011 resulted from marking the operating units to fair value. The compensation cost that was charged against income for all stock-based compensation plans was $10.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and the total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statement of income for options was approximately $4.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

The compensation cost that was charged against income for all stock-based compensation plans was $5.1 million and $12.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and the total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of income for options was approximately $1.6 million and $4.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.

There is no income tax benefit associated with the KAR LLC and Axle LLC operating unit awards. We recognized compensation expense for the service and exit options of approximately $13.2 million and $13.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We recognized a reduction in compensation expense of $2.5 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The reduction in KAR LLC and Axle LLC operating unit compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 resulted from marking the operating units to fair value.

Note 5—Net Income Per Share

The following table sets forth the computation of net income per share (in millions except per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
Net income	$	32.2	$	25.6	$	57.7	$	62.3

KAR Auction Services, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

September 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

Basic net income per share was calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares for the period. Diluted net income per share was calculated consistent with basic net income per share including the effect of dilutive unissued common shares related to our stock-based employee compensation program. The effect of stock options on net income per share-diluted is determined through the application of the treasury stock method, whereby proceeds received by the Company based on assumed exercises are hypothetically used to repurchase our common stock at the average market price during the period. Stock options that would have an anti-dilutive effect on net income per share are excluded from the calculations. Approximately 1.0 million and 1.6 million options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and approximately 1.0 million and 0.6 million options were excluded from the calculation of diluted net income per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Total options outstanding at September 30, 2011 and 2010 were 9.0 million and 9.3 million, respectively.

Note 6—Finance Receivables and Obligations Collateralized by Finance Receivables

AFC sells the majority of its U.S. dollar denominated finance receivables on a revolving basis and without recourse to a wholly owned, bankruptcy remote, consolidated, special purpose subsidiary (“AFC Funding Corporation”), established for the purpose of purchasing AFC’s finance receivables. A securitization agreement allows for the revolving sale by AFC Funding Corporation to a bank conduit facility of undivided interests in certain eligible finance receivables subject to committed liquidity.

On April 26, 2011, AFC and AFC Funding Corporation entered into the Fourth Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Receivables Purchase Agreement”). The Receivables Purchase Agreement increased AFC Funding’s U.S. committed liquidity from $450 million to $650 million and extended the facility’s maturity date from April 20, 2012 to June 30, 2014. In addition, the interest costs for amounts borrowed increased approximately 0.5% and certain of the covenants and termination events in the Receivables Purchase Agreement that are tied to the performance of the finance receivables portfolio were modified.

On May 24, 2011, Automotive Finance Canada, Inc. (“AFCI”) entered into an Amended and Restated Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Canadian Receivables Purchase Agreement”). The Canadian Receivables Purchase Agreement increased AFCI’s Canadian committed liquidity from C$75 million to C$100 million and extended the facility’s maturity date from April 20, 2012 to June 30, 2014. AFCI’s committed liquidity is provided through a third party conduit (separate from the U.S. conduit).

The following table presents quantitative information about delinquencies, credit losses less recoveries (“net credit losses”) and components of securitized financial assets and other related assets managed. For purposes of this illustration, delinquent receivables are defined as receivables 31 days or more past due.

Proceeds from the revolving sale of receivables to the bank conduit facility are used to fund new loans to customers. AFC, AFC Funding Corporation and AFCI must maintain certain financial covenants including, among others, limits on the amount of debt AFC and AFCI can incur, minimum levels of tangible net worth, and other covenants tied to the performance of the finance receivables portfolio. The securitization agreements also incorporate the financial covenants of our credit facility. At September 30, 2011, we were in compliance with the covenants in the securitization agreements.

Credit Facilities

On May 19, 2011, we established a new $1.7 billion, six-year senior secured term loan facility (New Term Loan B in the table above) and a new $250 million, five-year senior secured revolving credit facility (New $250 million revolving credit facility in the table above), the terms of which are set forth in the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2011. Concurrently with our entry into the Credit Agreement, we terminated our previous credit facility, dated as of April 20, 2007 (as amended, the “2007 Credit Agreement”). On May 19, 2011, we paid all principal outstanding and interest due under the 2007 Credit Agreement. No early termination penalties were incurred by the Company in connection with the termination of the 2007 Credit Agreement; however, we incurred a non-cash loss on the extinguishment of the term loan under the 2007 Credit Agreement (Old Term Loan B in the table above) of $24.5 million representative of the write-off of certain unamortized debt issuance costs.

The new Credit Facility is available for letters of credit, working capital and general corporate purposes (including refinancing certain Existing Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement)). The Credit Agreement provides that with respect to the new revolving Credit Facility, up to $75 million is available for letters of credit and up to $75 million is available for swing line loans. The Credit Agreement also permits up to $300 million of additional revolving or term loan commitments from one or more of the existing lenders or other lenders (with the consent of the administrative agent).

New Term Loan B was issued at a discount of $8.5 million. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the six-year term of the loan. New Term Loan B is payable in quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount, with such payments commencing on September 30, 2011 and the balance payable at maturity. The Credit Facility is subject to mandatory prepayments and reduction in an amount equal to (i) the net proceeds of certain debt offerings, asset sales and certain insurance recovery events; and (ii) for any fiscal year ending on or after December 31, 2011, any excess cash flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement.

The obligations of the Company under the Credit Facility are guaranteed by certain of our domestic subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and are secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors, including but not limited to: (a) pledges of and perfected first-priority security interests in 100% of the equity interests of certain of the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the equity interests of certain of the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ first-tier foreign subsidiaries and (b) perfected first-priority security interests in substantially all other tangible and intangible assets of the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that we believe are usual and customary for a senior secured credit agreement. The negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on capital expenditures, asset sales, mergers and acquisitions, indebtedness, liens, dividends, investments and transactions with our affiliates. The Credit Agreement also requires us to maintain a maximum leverage ratio, provided there are revolving loans outstanding. There were no revolving loans outstanding at September 30, 2011. We were in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement at September 30, 2011.

New Term Loan B will bear interest at an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 3.75% (with an adjusted LIBOR rate floor of 1.25% per annum) and revolving loan borrowings at an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 3.50%; however, for specified types of borrowings, the Company may elect to make term loan borrowings at a Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2.75% and revolving loan borrowings at a Base Rate plus 2.50%. The rate on New Term Loan B was 5.0% at September 30, 2011. In addition, if the Company reduces its Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which is based on a net debt calculation, to levels specified in the Credit Agreement, the applicable interest rate will step down by 25 basis points. The Company

KAR Auction Services, Inc.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

September 30, 2011 (Unaudited)

will also pay a commitment fee of 50 basis points, payable quarterly, on the average daily unused amount of the Credit Facility. The fee may step down to 37.5 basis points based on the Company’s Consolidated Senior Secured Leverage Ratio as described above.

There were no borrowings under the new revolving credit facility at September 30, 2011 or the old revolving credit facility at December 31, 2010, although we did have related outstanding letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $28.8 million and $29.4 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which reduced the amount available for borrowings under the respective credit facilities.

Senior Notes

In 2007, we issued $450.0 million of 8³/4% senior notes and $150.0 million of floating rate senior notes, both of which were due May 1, 2014. In addition, we issued $425.0 million of 10% senior subordinated notes due May 1, 2015. In January 2010, we prepaid $225.6 million principal amount of the 10% senior subordinated notes with proceeds received from our initial public offering and the underwriters option to purchase additional shares. We incurred a loss on the extinguishment of the notes of $25.3 million in the first quarter of 2010.

In June 2011, we prepaid $450.0 million principal amount of the 8³/4% senior notes and the remaining $131.1 million principal balance of the 10% senior subordinated notes with proceeds received from New Term Loan B and cash on hand. We incurred a loss on the extinguishment of the notes of $29.0 million in the second quarter of 2011 representative of the net premiums payable related to the repurchase of the notes and the write-off of certain unamortized debt issuance costs.

Fair Value of Debt

As of September 30, 2011, the estimated fair value of our long-term debt amounted to $1,781.6 million. The estimates of fair value are based on the market prices for our publicly-traded debt as of September 30, 2011. The estimates presented on long-term financial instruments are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized in a current market exchange.

Note 8—Derivatives

We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable rate borrowings. Accordingly, interest rate fluctuations affect the amount of interest expense we are obligated to pay. In August 2011, we purchased three interest rate caps for an aggregate amount of approximately $1.1 million and an aggregate notional amount of $925 million to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our variable rate New Term Loan B credit facility when one-month LIBOR exceeds 1.25%. The interest rate cap agreements each had an effective date of August 16, 2011 and each mature on August 16, 2013. The unamortized portion of the $1.1 million investment is recorded in “Other assets” on the consolidated balance sheet and is being amortized over the remaining life of the interest rate caps to interest expense. We are exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties; however, non-performance is not anticipated.

In May 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $650 million to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our variable rate Old Term Loan B credit facility. The interest rate swap agreement had an effective date of June 30, 2009, was scheduled to mature on June 30, 2012 and effectively resulted in a fixed LIBOR interest rate of 2.19% on $650 million of the Old Term Loan B credit facility. In connection with the extinguishment of Old Term Loan B in May 2011, we de-designated our interest rate swap and entered into a swap termination agreement. We paid $14.5 million to settle and terminate the swap. As a result, the $14.5 million was reclassified from other comprehensive income to interest expense.

ASC 815 requires companies to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the balance sheet. In accordance with ASC 815, we designated our interest rate derivatives as cash flow hedges. The fair values of the interest rate derivatives are based on quoted market prices for similar instruments from a commercial bank. The following table presents the fair value of our interest rate derivatives included in the consolidated balance sheets for the periods presented (in millions):

The earnings impact of the interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recorded upon the recognition of the interest related to the hedged debt. Any ineffectiveness in the hedging relationships is recognized in current earnings. There was no significant ineffectiveness in the first nine months of 2011 or 2010. Unrealized gains or losses on the interest rate derivatives are included as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” At September 30, 2011, there was a net unrealized gain totaling $0.2 million, net of tax benefits of $0.1 million. At December 31, 2010, there was a net unrealized loss totaling $10.5 million, net of tax benefits of $6.4 million.

Note 9—Income Taxes

During the first nine months of 2011, we had an effective tax rate of 13.2% resulting in large part from the reversal of $17.9 million in tax reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of certain statute of limitations. Excluding the effect of the release of the tax reserves, our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 would have been 40.2%.

Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies

We are involved in litigation and disputes arising in the ordinary course of business, such as actions related to injuries; property damage; handling, storage or disposal of vehicles; environmental laws and regulations; and other litigation incidental to the business such as employment matters and dealer disputes. Management considers the likelihood of loss or the incurrence of a liability, as well as the ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss, in determining loss contingencies. We accrue an estimated loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss (or range of possible losses) can be reasonably estimated. Management regularly evaluates current information available to determine whether accrual amounts should be adjusted. Accruals for contingencies including litigation and environmental matters are included in “Other accrued expenses” at undiscounted amounts and exclude claims for recoveries from insurance or other third parties. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessment and remediation efforts progress, or as additional technical or legal information becomes available. If the amount of an actual loss is greater than the amount accrued, this could have an adverse impact on our operating results in that period. Legal fees are expensed as incurred. There has been no significant change in the legal and regulatory proceedings which were disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Comprehensive income	$	5.5		$	33.0		$	51.6		$	59.0

The composition of “Accumulated other comprehensive income” at September 30, 2011, net of related tax effects, consisted of the net unrealized gain on the interest rate derivatives of $0.1 million, a $0.2 million unrealized gain on post-retirement benefit obligation and a foreign currency translation gain of $20.1 million. The composition of “Accumulated other comprehensive income” at December 31, 2010, net of related tax effects, consisted of the net unrealized loss on the interest rate derivatives of $10.5 million, a $0.2 million unrealized gain on post-retirement benefit obligation and a foreign currency translation gain of $36.8 million.

Note 12—Fair Value Measurements

We apply ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, to our financial assets and liabilities. ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels:

•

Level 1—Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2—Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities, such as models or other valuation methodologies.

•

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that are based on our assumptions are supported by little or no market activity and are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. Unobservable inputs reflect our own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation.

Interest Rate Caps (new)—Under the three interest rate cap agreements purchased in August 2011, we receive interest on a notional amount when one-month LIBOR exceeds 1.25%. These agreements effectively hedge a portion of the New Term Loan B credit facility. The fair value of the interest rate caps is based on quoted market prices for similar instruments from commercial banks.

Interest Rate Cap (old)—Under the interest rate cap agreement, we received interest on a notional amount when one-month LIBOR exceeded 2.5%. This agreement effectively hedged a portion of the Old Term Loan B credit facility. The fair value of the interest rate cap was based on quoted market prices for similar instruments from a commercial bank.

Interest Rate Swap—Under the interest rate swap agreement, we paid a fixed LIBOR rate on a notional amount and received a variable LIBOR rate which effectively hedged a portion of the Old Term Loan B credit facility. The fair value of the interest rate swap was based on quoted market prices for similar instruments from a commercial bank.

Note 13—Segment Information

ASC 280, Segment Reporting, requires reporting of segment information that is consistent with the manner in which the chief operating decision maker operates and views the Company. We have three reportable business segments: ADESA Auctions, IAAI and AFC. These reportable segments offer different services and are managed separately based on the fundamental differences in their operations.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and which are subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties. In particular, statements made in this report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts (including, but not limited to, expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections regarding the industry, business, future operating results, potential acquisitions, potential refinancings and anticipated cash requirements) may be forward-looking statements. Words such as “should,” “may,” “will,” “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Such statements, including statements regarding our future growth; anticipated cost savings, revenue increases and capital expenditures; strategic initiatives, greenfields and acquisitions; our competitive position; and our continued investment in information technology are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results projected, expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed on February 24, 2011. Some of these factors include:

•

fluctuations in consumer demand for and in the supply of used, leased and salvage vehicles and the resulting impact on auction sales volumes, conversion rates and loan transaction volumes;

•

trends in new and used vehicle sales and incentives, including wholesale used vehicle pricing;

•

the ability of consumers to lease or finance the purchase of new and/or used vehicles;

•

the ability to recover or collect from delinquent or bankrupt customers;

•

economic conditions including fuel prices, foreign exchange rates and interest rate fluctuations;

•

trends in the vehicle remarketing industry;

•

changes in the volume of vehicle production, including capacity reductions at the major original equipment manufacturers;

•

the introduction of new competitors;

•

laws, regulations and industry standards, including changes in regulations governing the sale of used vehicles, the processing of salvage vehicles and commercial lending activities;

•

changes in the market value of vehicles auctioned, including changes in the actual cash value of salvage vehicles;

•

competitive pricing pressures;

•

costs associated with the acquisition of businesses or technologies;

•

litigation developments;

•

our ability to successfully implement our business strategies or realize expected cost savings and revenue enhancements;

•

our ability to develop and implement information systems responsive to customer needs;

•

business development activities, including acquisitions and integration of acquired businesses;

•

the costs of environmental compliance and/or the imposition of liabilities under environmental laws and regulations;

•

weather;

•

general business conditions;

•

our substantial amount of debt;

•

restrictive covenants in our debt agreements;

•

our assumption of the settlement risk for vehicles sold;

•

any impairment to our goodwill or other intangible assets;

•

our self-insurance for certain risks;

•

any losses of key personnel;

•

interruptions to service from our workforce;

•

changes in effective tax rates;

•

changes to accounting standards; and

•

other risks described from time to time in our filings with the SEC.

Many of these risk factors are outside of our control, and as such, they involve risks which are not currently known that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed or implied herein. The forward-looking statements in this document are made as of the date on which they are made and we do not undertake to update our forward-looking statements.

Our future growth depends on a variety of factors, including our ability to increase vehicle sold volumes and loan transaction volumes, acquire additional auctions and complementary business entities, manage expansion, relocate and integrate acquisitions, control costs in our operations, introduce fee increases, expand our product and service offerings including information systems development and retain our executive officers and key employees. Certain initiatives that management considers important to our long-term success include projects involving substantial capital investment in e-business, information technology, facility relocations and expansions, as well as operating initiatives designed to enhance overall efficiencies, all of which have significant risks associated with their execution, and could take several years to yield any direct monetary benefits. Accordingly, we cannot predict whether our growth strategy will be successful. In addition, we cannot predict what portion of overall sales will be conducted through online auctions or other remarketing methods in the future and what impact this may have on our auction business.

Overview

We provide whole car and salvage auction services in North America. Our business is divided into three reportable business segments, each of which is an integral part of the vehicle remarketing industry: ADESA Auctions, IAAI and AFC.

•

The ADESA Auctions segment consisted primarily of a 70 whole car auction network in North America at September 30, 2011. Vehicles at ADESA’s auctions are typically sold by commercial fleet operators, financial institutions, rental car companies, used vehicle dealers and vehicle manufacturers and their captive finance companies to franchised and independent used vehicle dealers. ADESA also provides value-added ancillary services including inspections, storage, transportation, reconditioning and titling and other administrative services.

The IAAI segment consisted of salvage vehicle auctions and related services provided at 159 sites in North America at September 30, 2011. The salvage auctions facilitate the remarketing of damaged or low value vehicles designated as total losses by insurance companies and charity donation vehicles, as well as recovered stolen (or theft) vehicles. The salvage auction business specializes in providing services such as transportation, titling, salvage recovery and claims settlement administrative services.

•

The AFC segment provides short-term, inventory-secured financing, known as floorplan financing, primarily to independent used vehicle dealers. At September 30, 2011, AFC conducted business through 89 branches in North America.

The holding company is maintained separately from the three reportable segments and includes expenses associated with the corporate office, such as salaries, benefits, and travel costs for our management team, certain human resources, information technology and accounting costs, and certain insurance, treasury, legal and risk management costs. Holding company interest expense includes the interest expense incurred on the corporate debt structure. Intercompany charges relate primarily to interest on intercompany debt or receivables and certain information technology costs allocated by the holding company.

Industry Trends

Whole Car

During the period from 1999 to 2009, despite fluctuations in economic conditions, new vehicle sales and “churn” (i.e., the rate of ownership transfer of vehicles in the used vehicle market), used vehicles sold in North America through whole car auctions remained within the relatively narrow range of approximately 9 million to 10 million used vehicles per year. We estimate that the vehicle population in the United States has increased from 209.5 million units in 1999 to in excess of 248 million units in 2010 and therefore the used vehicle market, and hence the used vehicle auction industry, have an even larger “inventory” of potential transactions to draw from. A larger vehicle population may partially offset any short-term decreases in new vehicle sales, which we believe has resulted in vehicle auction volumes remaining fairly consistent over the last several years. However, according to the National Auto Auction Association, whole car auction volume was approximately 8.4 million units for the year ended December 31, 2010. The decline in industry auction volumes in 2010 as compared to the period from 1999 to 2009 reflects a reduction in units sold by institutional consignors. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in dealer consignment units sold in 2010 as compared to 2009.

Through the first nine months of 2011, the whole car auction industry has experienced continued supply shortages as a result of the impacts felt by the automotive industry over the last three years, including volatility in new vehicle sales, lease originations and repossessions. We believe that used vehicle auction volumes in North America will be below 8 million units in 2011 and 2012.

Salvage

During the period from 2006 through 2009, the North American salvage vehicle auction industry volumes increased. Vehicles deemed a total loss by automobile insurance companies represent the largest category of vehicles sold in the salvage vehicle auction industry. As vehicles become more complex with additional enhancements, such as airbags and electrical components, they are more costly to repair following an accident and insurance companies are more likely to declare a damaged vehicle a total loss. The percentage of claims resulting in total losses steadily increased to over 14% in 2009 and was slightly below 14% in 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010 as compared with the year ended December 31, 2009, we believe the salvage industry auction volumes sold by automobile insurance companies were down slightly. To the extent this trend continues, it could have an adverse impact on IAAI’s results of operations.

Automotive Finance

In 2008 and 2009, the overall economy and in particular the automotive finance industries faced pressures, which negatively affected the used vehicle dealer base. More than 6,300 independent dealers went out of business during 2008 and 2009, representing almost a 15% reduction in the independent dealer base. Used vehicle dealers experienced a significant decline in sales which resulted in a decrease in consumer auto loan originations and an increased number of dealers defaulting on their loans, which increased credit losses. In addition, the value of recovered collateral on defaulted loans was impacted to some degree by the volatility in the vehicle pricing market. To the extent these negative trends recur, they could have a material adverse impact on AFC’s results of operations.

Despite the negative factors and trends impacting the automotive finance industry in 2008 and 2009, AFC’s financial results improved in the second half of 2009, throughout 2010 and into 2011. AFC implemented a number of strategic initiatives in 2008 and early 2009 designed to tighten credit standards and reduce risk and exposure in its portfolio of finance receivables. These initiatives have resulted in a substantial ongoing improvement in the aging of the managed portfolio, which was over 99 percent current at September 30, 2011. In addition, AFC’s managed portfolio of finance receivables grew approximately 12 percent from $715.0 million at September 30, 2010 to $802.9 million at September 30, 2011.

General

In 2008 and 2009, significant changes occurred in the economy which impacted our business. A lack of availability of consumer credit for retail used vehicle buyers, a decline in consumer spending, a reduction in the number of franchised and independent used vehicle dealers in the United States, a decline in new vehicle sales, reduced miles driven and decreases in commodity prices such as steel and platinum all negatively impacted us. Additionally, factors that influenced our business in 2010 included increases in used vehicle prices, supply constraints resulting from the decline in new vehicle sales during the recession, a decrease in the number of repossessions, lower loan default rates and fewer vehicles being classified as total loss vehicles by the insurance industry.

The availability of financing to franchised dealerships and consumers from the vehicle manufacturers’ captive finance companies and their respective remarketing programs may also impact the supply of vehicles to the wholesale auction industry in the future. A change in the supply of used vehicles could impact the value of used vehicles sold, conversion rates (calculated as the number of vehicles sold as a percentage of the number of vehicles entered for sale) and ADESA’s profitability on the sale of vehicles. In addition, we believe the reduced number of lease originations in 2008 and 2009 will negatively impact the supply of off-lease vehicles available at auction in 2011 and 2012.

Seasonality

The volume of vehicles sold at our auctions generally fluctuates from quarter to quarter. This seasonality is caused by several factors including weather, the timing of used vehicles available for sale from selling customers, the availability and quality of salvage vehicles, holidays and the seasonality of the retail market for used vehicles, which affects the demand side of the auction industry. Used vehicle auction volumes tend to decline during prolonged periods of winter weather conditions. In addition, mild weather conditions and decreases in traffic volume can each lead to a decline in the available supply of salvage vehicles because fewer traffic accidents occur, resulting in fewer damaged vehicles overall. As a result, revenues and operating expenses related to volume will fluctuate accordingly on a quarterly basis. The fourth calendar quarter typically experiences lower used vehicle auction volume as well as additional costs associated with the holidays and winter weather.

Sources of Revenues and Expenses

Our revenue is derived from auction fees and related services at our whole car and salvage auction facilities and dealer financing fees and interest income at AFC. Although auction revenues primarily include the auction services and related fees, our related receivables and payables include the gross value of the vehicles sold.

Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-16 amended ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and we adopted the guidance on January 1, 2010. The guidance eliminated securitization income accounting and resulted in the recording of interest and fee income, provision for credit losses and interest expense for the finance receivable transactions under the revolving sale agreement. The elimination of the gain on sale treatment resulted in a reduction of revenue of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Our operating expenses consist of cost of services, selling, general and administrative and depreciation and amortization. Cost of services is composed of payroll and related costs, subcontract services, supplies, insurance,

property taxes, utilities, maintenance and lease expense related to the auction sites and loan offices. Cost of services excludes depreciation and amortization. Selling, general and administrative expenses are composed of payroll and related costs, sales and marketing, information technology services and professional fees.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we had revenue of $447.0 million, compared with revenue of $445.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. For a further discussion of revenues, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses, see the segment results discussions below.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $1.6 million, or 4%, to $43.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $42.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was representative of increased depreciation and amortization resulting from certain assets placed in service during the first nine months of 2011.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $6.1 million, or 17%, to $29.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with interest expense of $35.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in interest expense was primarily the result of the second quarter 2011 prepayment of our $450.0 million principal amount 8³/4% senior notes and the remaining $131.1 million principal balance of our 10% senior subordinated notes, partially offset by New Term Loan B debt which had an interest rate of 5% at September 30, 2011, compared with Old Term Loan B debt which had an interest rate of approximately 3% at September 30, 2010.

Other (Income) Expense

Other expense was $1.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with other income of $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The change in other (income) expense was primarily representative of $1.3 million of contingent consideration that was recorded in the third quarter of 2011. The contingent consideration related to certain prior year acquisitions and the adjustment was based on revised forecasts which indicated the unit volumes required during the measurement period in order for the contingent consideration to become payable would be met. In addition, we had foreign currency transaction losses for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with foreign currency transaction gains for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Income Taxes

We had an effective tax rate of 31.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with 30.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Excluding the effect of discrete items and changes in the estimates of our effective tax rates, our effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 would have been 40.2% and 38.3%, respectively. The change in the tax rate, excluding the effect of discrete items, was primarily attributable to the differences in permanently nondeductible expenses, including acquisition costs, as well as pre-tax profits. We expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 25% in 2011, which reflects the recognition of the impact of certain tax deductions which will not impact future periods.

Revenue

Revenue from ADESA decreased $26.1 million, or 10%, to $241.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $267.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in revenue was primarily the result of a 15% decrease in the number of vehicles sold, partially offset by a 6% increase in revenue per vehicle sold to over $600 for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with approximately $570 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

The 6% increase in revenue per vehicle sold was attributable to incremental fee income related to selective fee increases, which resulted in increased ADESA revenue of approximately $5.7 million. In addition, fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate resulted in increased ADESA revenue of approximately $3.3 million and increases in ancillary services resulted in increased ADESA revenue of approximately $0.7 million.

The total number of used vehicles sold at ADESA decreased 15% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2010, and resulted in a decrease in ADESA revenue of approximately $35.8 million. The decrease in volume sold was attributable to a decline in supplier inventory

levels, partially offset by a 9% increase in dealer consignment units sold for the three months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the same period in 2010. Online sales volumes for ADESA in the third quarter of 2011 represented approximately 19% of the total vehicles sold by ADESA. In October 2011, the percentage decline in the total number of used vehicles sold at ADESA was less than that experienced in the third quarter of 2011.

The used vehicle conversion percentage, calculated as the number of vehicles sold as a percentage of the number of vehicles entered for sale at our used vehicle auctions, decreased to 57.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with 64.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in conversion rates is representative of a change in the mix of vehicles sold toward more dealer consignment vehicles, which convert at a lower rate as dealers have the option of returning vehicles to their stores for retail sale. For the three months ended September 30, 2011, dealer consignment vehicles represented more than 45% of used vehicles sold at ADESA, an increase from more than 35% for the three months ended September 30, 2010.

Gross Profit

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, gross profit for ADESA decreased $16.1 million, or 13%, to $103.6 million, compared to $119.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Gross profit for ADESA was 42.9% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with 44.8% of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily the result of the 15% decrease in the number of vehicles sold and a decrease in conversion rates. Lower conversion rates result in incremental labor associated with handling the same vehicles more than once.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the ADESA segment decreased $2.1 million, or 4%, to $50.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $52.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to decreases in compensation and related employee benefits, marketing costs, professional fees and other miscellaneous expenses, partially offset by increases for costs at acquired sites and fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate.

Revenue

Revenue from IAAI increased $22.4 million, or 16%, to $164.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $142.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in revenue was primarily a result of an increase in vehicles sold, an increase in fee revenue per unit due to an increase in average selling price for vehicles sold at auction and the incremental revenue attributable to non-insurance vehicles sold for the three months ended September 30, 2011. For the three months ended

September 30, 2011, total salvage vehicles sold increased approximately 10%, and this growth was primarily attributable to growth in non-insurance units. Online sales volumes for IAAI in the third quarter of 2011 represented approximately half of the total vehicles sold by IAAI.

Gross Profit

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, gross profit at IAAI increased to $64.7 million, or 39.3% of revenue, compared with $55.7 million, or 39.1% of revenue, for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The gross profit increase was primarily the result of the increase in revenue. The increase in cost of services was attributable to an increase in yard and auction expenses specifically pertaining to reconditioning, processing and towing costs due to the increase in volume, as well as an increase in purchased vehicles. Purchased vehicles represented approximately 5% of total salvage vehicles sold.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses at IAAI increased $2.4 million, or 13%, to $20.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $17.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to an increase in professional fees related to information technology and marketing initiatives.

Revenue

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, AFC revenue increased $5.4 million, or 15%, to $41.0 million, compared with $35.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in revenue was the result of a 2% increase in revenue per loan transaction for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the same period in 2010, and a 13% increase in loan transactions to 269,131 for the three months ended September 30, 2011. In addition, managed receivables increased to $802.9 million at September 30, 2011 from $715.0 million at September 30, 2010.

Revenue per loan transaction, which includes both loans paid off and loans curtailed, increased 2% to $152, primarily as a result of increases in the average portfolio duration and average loan value, as well as a decrease in credit losses.

Gross Profit

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, gross profit for the AFC segment increased $4.7 million, or 17%, to $33.0 million, compared with $28.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010, primarily as a result of a 15% increase in revenue, partially offset by a 10% increase in cost of services. The increase in cost of services was primarily the result of an increase in compensation expense associated with an increase in the number of employees.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses at AFC increased $0.1 million, or 2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the three months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in travel costs, partially offset by a decrease in professional fees.

For the three months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized a reduction in stock-based compensation expense related to the KAR LLC and Axle LLC operating units of $12.9 million. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, stock-based compensation expense related to the KAR LLC and Axle LLC operating units was $0.7 million.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we had revenue of $1,400.3 million, compared with revenue of $1,373.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, an increase of 2%. For a further discussion of revenues, gross profit and selling, general and administrative expenses, see the segment results discussions below.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization increased $4.2 million, or 3%, to $131.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $127.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was representative of increased amortization resulting from certain assets placed in service during 2010 and the first nine months of 2011.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $6.0 million, or 6%, to $112.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with interest expense of $106.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in interest expense was primarily the result of the second quarter 2011 recognition of $14.5 million in additional interest expense related to the settlement and termination of our $650 million notional swap agreement, which was used to hedge interest payments on Old Term Loan B. Partially offsetting the increase was a decrease in interest expense as a result of $143.3 million in prepayments on long-term debt in the fourth quarter of 2010 and the prepayments of our $450.0 million principal amount 8³/4% senior notes and the remaining $131.1 million principal balance of our 10% senior subordinated notes in the second quarter of 2011. In addition, the prepaid debt was replaced by New Term Loan B debt at a lower rate of approximately 5%.

Other Income

Other income was $6.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In 2011, we reversed contingent consideration of approximately $4.6 million related to certain prior year acquisitions based on revised forecasts which indicated the unit volumes required during the measurement period in order for the contingent consideration to become payable would not be met. This increase was partially offset by foreign currency transaction losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared with foreign currency transaction gains for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

In May 2011, we terminated our previous credit facility, dated as of April 20, 2007. In addition, in June 2011, we prepaid $450.0 million principal amount of the 8³/4% senior notes and the remaining $131.1 million principal balance of the 10% senior subordinated notes with proceeds received from New Term Loan B and cash on hand. In the second quarter of 2011, we recorded a $24.5 million pretax charge representative of the write-off of certain unamortized debt issuance costs associated with our Old Term Loan B. In the second quarter of 2011, we also recorded a $29.0 million pretax charge representative of the net premiums payable related to the repurchase of the 8³/4% senior notes and the 10% senior subordinated notes, the write-off of certain unamortized debt issuance costs associated with these notes, as well as certain expenses related to the prepayment of these notes.

In connection with our initial public offering in 2009, we conducted a cash tender offer for certain of our notes. The tender offer was oversubscribed and as such, in accordance with the identified priority levels, only a portion of the 10% senior subordinated notes tendered were accepted for prepayment. In January 2010, we prepaid $225.6 million principal amount of the 10% senior subordinated notes with proceeds received from our initial public offering and the underwriters option to purchase additional shares. In the first quarter of 2010 we recorded a $25.3 million pretax charge representative of the net premiums payable related to the repurchase of the 10% senior subordinated notes, the write-off of certain unamortized debt issuance costs associated with our 10% senior subordinated notes and certain expenses related to the tender offer.

Income Taxes

We had an effective tax rate of 13.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with 32.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. During the first nine months of 2011, our effective tax rate of 13.2% benefited from the reversal of $17.9 million in tax reserves for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of certain statute of limitations. Excluding the effect of these items, our effective tax rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and September 30, 2010 would have been 40.2% and 38.3%, respectively. The change in the tax rate, excluding the effect of discrete items, was primarily attributable to the differences in permanently nondeductible expenses, including acquisition costs, as well as pre-tax profits. We expect our effective tax rate to be approximately 25% in 2011, which reflects the recognition of the impact of certain tax deductions which will not impact future periods.

Revenue

Revenue from ADESA decreased $54.0 million, or 7%, to $767.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $821.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in revenue was primarily the result of an 11% decrease in the number of vehicles sold, partially offset by a 5% increase in revenue per vehicle sold to approximately $595 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to approximately $565 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The 5% increase in revenue per vehicle sold was attributable to incremental fee income related to selective fee increases, which resulted in increased ADESA revenue of approximately $20.0 million. In addition, fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate resulted in increased ADESA revenue of approximately $10.0 million and increases in ancillary services resulted in increased ADESA revenue of approximately $1.4 million.

The total number of used vehicles sold at ADESA decreased 11% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and resulted in a decrease in ADESA revenue of approximately $85.4 million. The decrease in volume sold was attributable to a decline in supplier inventory levels, partially offset by a 13% increase in dealer consignment units sold in the first nine months of 2011 compared to the first nine months of 2010. Online sales volumes for ADESA in the first nine months of 2011 represented approximately 22% of the total vehicles sold by ADESA.

The used vehicle conversion percentage, calculated as the number of vehicles sold as a percentage of the number of vehicles entered for sale at our used vehicle auctions, decreased to 61.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with 65.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in conversion rates is representative of a change in the mix of vehicles sold toward more dealer consignment vehicles, which convert at a lower rate as dealers have the option of returning vehicles to their stores for retail sale. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, dealer consignment vehicles represented approximately 42% of used vehicles sold at ADESA, an increase from approximately 33% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Gross Profit

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, gross profit for ADESA decreased $33.9 million, or 9%, to $330.7 million, compared to $364.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Gross profit for ADESA was 43.1% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with 44.4% of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was primarily the result of the 11% decrease in the number of vehicles sold and a decrease in conversion rates. Lower conversion rates result in incremental labor associated with handling the same vehicles more than once.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the ADESA segment decreased $0.4 million, or less than 1%, to $157.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $158.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily due to decreases in marketing costs, compensation and incentive compensation costs and other miscellaneous expenses, partially offset by increases for costs at acquired sites, fluctuations in the Canadian exchange rate and travel costs.

Revenue

Revenue from IAAI increased $55.4 million, or 12%, to $513.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $458.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in revenue was primarily a result of an increase in vehicles sold, an increase in fee revenue per unit due to an increase in average selling price for vehicles sold at auction and the incremental revenue attributable to non-insurance vehicles sold for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, total salvage vehicles sold increased approximately 6%, and this growth was primarily attributable to growth in non-insurance units. Online sales volumes for IAAI for the first nine months of 2011 represented approximately half of the total vehicles sold by IAAI.

Gross Profit

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, gross profit at IAAI increased to $212.4 million, or 41.3% of revenue, compared with $186.5 million, or 40.7% of revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The gross profit increase was primarily the result of the increase in revenue. The increase in cost of services was attributable to expenses associated with sites acquired in the fourth quarter of 2010, an increase in compensation expense, increases in yard and auction expenses specifically pertaining to reconditioning, processing and towing costs related to the increase in volume, as well as an increase in purchased vehicles. Purchased vehicles represented approximately 5% of total salvage vehicles sold.

Selling, General and Administrative

Selling, general and administrative expenses at IAAI increased $1.4 million to $59.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $58.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was attributable to increases in compensation expense, incentive-based compensation expense and professional fees related to information technology and marketing initiatives, partially offset by decreases in stock-based compensation expense, relocation expenses and severance costs.

Revenue

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, AFC revenue increased $25.2 million, or 27%, to $119.4 million, compared with $94.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in revenue was the result of a 10% increase in revenue per loan transaction for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the same period in 2010, and a 15% increase in loan transactions to 792,874 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In addition, managed receivables increased to $802.9 million at September 30, 2011 from $715.0 million at September 30, 2010.

Revenue per loan transaction, which includes both loans paid off and loans curtailed, increased 10% to $151, primarily as a result of the adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2009-16 in 2010 (see below), a decrease in credit losses and related provision, and increases in the average portfolio duration and average loan value, as well as floorplan and other fee income.

Accounting Standards Update 2009-16 amended ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and we adopted the guidance on January 1, 2010. The guidance eliminated securitization income accounting and resulted in the recording of interest and fee income, provision for credit losses and interest expense for the finance receivable transactions under the revolving sale agreement. The elimination of the gain on sale treatment resulted in a reduction of revenue of $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2010.

Gross Profit

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, gross profit for the AFC segment increased $22.3 million, or 30%, to $95.6 million, compared with $73.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, primarily as a result of a 27% increase in revenue, partially offset by a 14% increase in cost of services. The increase in cost of services was primarily the result of an increase in compensation expense associated with an increase in the number of employees, as well as an increase in lot audit expenses, partially offset by a decrease in collection expenses.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses at AFC increased $1.1 million, or 8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in compensation expense and travel costs, partially offset by a decrease in incentive compensation.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

We believe that the significant indicators of liquidity for our business are cash on hand, cash flow from operations, working capital and amounts available under our credit facility. Our principal sources of liquidity consist of cash generated by operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.


(Dollars in millions)	September 30, 2011		December 31, 2010		September 30, 2010
Cash and cash equivalents	$	203.6	$	119.1	$	379.8

Amounts available under credit facility*		250.0		250.0		250.0
Cash flow from operations		205.5				418.0

*	There were related outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $28.8 million, $29.4 million and $33.7 million at September 30, 2011, December 31, 2010 and September 30, 2010, respectively, which reduced the amount available for borrowings under the respective credit facilities.

Working Capital

A substantial amount of our working capital is generated from the payments received for services provided. The majority of our working capital needs are short-term in nature, usually less than a week in duration. Due to the decentralized nature of the business, payments for most vehicles purchased are received at each auction and branch. Most of the financial institutions place a temporary hold on the availability of the funds deposited that generally can range up to two business days, resulting in cash in our accounts and on our balance sheet that is unavailable for use until it is made available by the various financial institutions. Over the years, we have increased the amount of funds that are available for immediate use and are actively working on initiatives that will continue to decrease the time between the deposit of and the availability of funds received from customers. There are outstanding checks (book overdrafts) to sellers and vendors included in current liabilities. Because a portion of these outstanding checks for operations in the U.S. are drawn upon bank accounts at financial institutions other than the financial institutions that hold the cash, we cannot offset all the cash and the outstanding checks on our balance sheet. Our available cash, which excludes cash in transit, was $158.7 million at September 30, 2011.

AFC offers short-term inventory-secured financing, also known as floorplan financing, to used vehicle dealers. Financing is primarily provided for terms of 30 to 60 days. AFC principally generates its funding through the sale of its receivables. For further discussion of AFC’s securitization arrangements, see “Securitization Facilities.”

Credit Facilities

On May 19, 2011, we established a new $1.7 billion, six-year senior secured term loan facility (“New Term Loan B”) and a new $250 million, five-year senior secured revolving credit facility, the terms of which are set forth in the Credit Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2011 (the “Credit Agreement”). Concurrently with our entry into the Credit Agreement, we terminated our previous credit facility, dated as of April 20, 2007 (as amended, the “2007 Credit Agreement”). On May 19, 2011, we paid all principal outstanding and interest due under the 2007 Credit Agreement. No early termination penalties were incurred by the Company in connection with the termination of the 2007 Credit Agreement; however, we incurred a non-cash loss on the extinguishment of Old Term Loan B of $24.5 million representative of the write-off of certain unamortized debt issuance costs.

The new credit facility is available for letters of credit, working capital and general corporate purposes (including refinancing certain Existing Indebtedness (as defined in the Credit Agreement)). The Credit Agreement provides that with respect to the new revolving credit facility up to $75 million is available for letters of credit and up to $75 million is available for swing line loans. The Credit Agreement also permits up to $300 million of additional revolving or term loan commitments from one or more of the existing lenders or other lenders (with the consent of the administrative agent).

New Term Loan B was issued at a discount of $8.5 million. The discount is being amortized to interest expense over the six-year term of the loan. New Term Loan B is payable in quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount, with such payments commencing on September 30, 2011 and the balance payable at maturity. The new credit facility is subject to mandatory prepayments and reduction in an amount equal to (i) the net proceeds of certain debt offerings, asset sales and certain insurance recovery events; and (ii) for any fiscal year ending on or after December 31, 2011, any excess cash flow, as defined in the Credit Agreement.

On September 30, 2011, $1,695.8 million was outstanding on New Term Loan B and there were no borrowings under the new revolving credit facility at September 30, 2011 or the old revolving credit facility at December 31, 2010. There were related outstanding letters of credit in the aggregate amount of $28.8 million and $29.4 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, which reduced the amount available for borrowings under the respective credit facilities. In addition, our Canadian operations have a C$8 million line of credit which was undrawn as of September 30, 2011; however, there were related letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately C$1.8 million at September 30, 2011, which reduce credit available under the Canadian line of credit, but do not affect amounts available for borrowings under our new revolving credit facility.

The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive loan covenants, including, among others, a financial covenant requiring a maximum consolidated senior secured leverage ratio be satisfied as of the last day of each fiscal quarter if revolving loans are outstanding, and covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, make acquisitions, consummate change of control transactions, dispose of assets, pay dividends, make capital expenditures, make investments and engage in certain transactions with affiliates. The leverage ratio covenant is based on consolidated Adjusted EBITDA which is EBITDA (earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) adjusted to exclude among other things (a) gains and losses from asset sales; (b) unrealized foreign currency translation gains and losses in respect of indebtedness; (c) certain non-recurring gains and losses; (d) stock option expense; (e) certain other noncash amounts included in the determination of net income; (f) management, monitoring, consulting and advisory fees paid to the equity sponsors; (g) charges and revenue reductions resulting from purchase accounting; (h) unrealized gains and losses on hedge agreements; (i) minority interest; (j) expenses associated with the consolidation of salvage operations; (k) consulting expenses incurred for cost reduction, operating restructuring and business improvement efforts; (l) expenses realized upon the termination of employees and the termination or cancellation of leases, software licenses or other contracts in connection with the operational restructuring and business improvement efforts; (m) expenses incurred in connection with permitted acquisitions; and (n) any impairment charges or write-offs of intangibles.

The covenants contained within the Credit Agreement are critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial liquidity, as the violation of these covenants could result in a default and lenders could elect to declare all amounts borrowed immediately due and payable. In addition, the indenture governing our floating rate senior notes contain certain financial and operational restrictions on paying dividends and other distributions, making certain acquisitions or investments, incurring indebtedness, granting liens and selling assets. These covenants affect our operating flexibility by, among other things, restricting our ability to incur expenses and indebtedness that could be used to grow the business, as well as to fund general corporate purposes. We were in compliance with the covenants in the Credit Agreement and the indenture governing our floating rate senior notes at September 30, 2011.

We believe our sources of liquidity from our cash and cash equivalents on hand, working capital, cash provided by operating activities, and availability under our credit facility are sufficient to meet our short and long-term operating needs for the foreseeable future. In addition, we believe the previously mentioned sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund our capital requirements and debt service payments for the next twelve months.

Securitization Facilities

the facility’s maturity date from April 20, 2012 to June 30, 2014. In addition, the interest costs for amounts borrowed increased approximately 0.5% and certain of the covenants and termination events in the Receivables Purchase Agreement that are tied to the performance of the finance receivables portfolio were modified.

ASU 2009-16 amended ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, and we adopted the guidance on January 1, 2010. The guidance specifies that the finance receivable transactions on or subsequent to January 1, 2010 under our revolving sale agreement be included in our balance sheet. This resulted in an increase in assets and related obligations in 2010. In addition, the guidance eliminated securitization income accounting and resulted in the recording of fee and interest income and interest expense for the finance receivable transactions under the revolving sale agreement. The elimination of securitization income accounting resulted in a reduction of pre-tax income of approximately $2.8 million in the first quarter of 2010.

AFC managed total finance receivables of $802.9 million and $771.6 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

AFC’s allowance for losses was $8.8 million and $9.7 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

As of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, $799.0 million and $763.9 million, respectively, of finance receivables and a cash reserve of 1 percent of finance receivables securitized serve as security for the $542.7 million and $520.1 million of obligations collateralized by finance receivables at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The amount of the cash reserve depends on circumstances which are set forth in the securitization agreements. After the occurrence of a termination event, as defined in the U.S. securitization agreement, the bank conduit facility may, and could, cause the stock of AFC Funding Corporation to be transferred to the bank conduit facility, though as a practical matter the bank conduit facility would look to the liquidation of the receivables under the transaction documents as their primary remedy.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented herein, are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. They are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered substitutes for net income (loss) or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP.

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss), plus interest expense net of interest income, income tax provision (benefit), depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for the items of income and expense and expected incremental revenue and cost savings, as described above in the discussion of certain restrictive loan covenants under “Credit Facilities.”

Management believes that the inclusion of supplementary adjustments to EBITDA applied in presenting Adjusted EBITDA is appropriate to provide additional information to investors about one of the principal measures of performance used by our creditors. In addition, management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our performance and to evaluate results relative to incentive compensation targets. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the results as reported under GAAP. These measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Summary of Cash Flows


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
(Dollars in millions)	2011			2010
Net cash provided by (used by):
Operating activities	$	205.5		$	418.0
Investing activities		(109.1	)		(649.3	)
Financing activities		(8.8	)		246.9
Effect of exchange rate on cash		(3.1	)		0.3

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	84.5		$	15.9

Cash flow from operating activities was $205.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $418.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in operating cash flow was primarily impacted by changes in operating assets and liabilities. The change in operating assets was driven by the reduction in retained interests in finance receivables sold and a reduction in finance receivables held for sale in 2010, which resulted from the adoption of ASU 2009-16.

Net cash used by investing activities was $109.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with $649.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The change in net cash used for

investing activities was primarily the result of the 2010 net increase in finance receivables held for investment, which resulted from the adoption of ASU 2009-16. The guidance specifies that the finance receivable transactions on or subsequent to January 1, 2010 under our revolving sale agreement be included in our balance sheet. In addition, we spent $22.3 million more for capital items in the first nine months of 2011 compared with the first nine months of 2010. For a discussion of the Company’s capital expenditures, see “Capital Expenditures” below.

Net cash used by financing activities was $8.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $246.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The change in net cash provided by (used for) financing activities was attributable to the $479.0 million increase in obligations collateralized by finance receivables in 2010, which resulted from the adoption of ASU 2009-16 as discussed above partially offset by payments on debt in 2010, primarily with proceeds from our IPO. In addition, the change in net cash provided by (used for) financing activities was impacted by the 2011 extinguishment of the Company’s senior secured credit facility, as the proceeds from New Term Loan B, as well as cash on hand, were used to pay all principal outstanding and interest due under the 2007 Credit Agreement and pay the principal and net premiums related to the repurchase of the 8³/4% senior notes and the 10% senior subordinated notes.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and the year ended December 31, 2010 approximated $64.2 million and $78.9 million, respectively. Capital expenditures were funded primarily from internally generated funds. We continue to invest in our core information technology capabilities and capacity expansion. Capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $85 million for fiscal year 2011. Anticipated expenditures are primarily attributable to ongoing information system projects, upkeep and improvements at existing vehicle auction facilities, improvements in information technology systems and infrastructure and expansion and relocation of existing auction sites that are at capacity. Future capital expenditures could vary substantially based on capital project timing and the initiation of new information systems projects to support our business strategies.

Acquisitions

Contractual Obligations

The Company’s contractual cash obligations for long-term debt, interest payments related to long-term debt, interest rate derivatives, capital lease obligations, operating leases and postretirement benefit payments were summarized in the table of contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Since December 31, 2010, there have been no material changes to the contractual obligations of the Company, outside the ordinary course of the Company’s business, except as follows:

•

On May 19, 2011, we established a $1.7 billion, six-year senior secured New Term Loan B facility, with a maturity date of May 18, 2017. New Term Loan B is payable in quarterly installments equal to 0.25% of the original aggregate principal amount, with such payments commencing on September 30, 2011. New Term Loan B will bear interest at an adjusted LIBOR rate plus 3.75% (with an adjusted LIBOR rate floor of 1.25% per annum). The rate on New Term Loan B was 5.0% at September 30, 2011.

•

On May 19, 2011, we repaid the remaining $1,144.6 million principal balance of Old Term Loan B with proceeds received from New Term Loan B.

•

On May 23, 2011, we settled and terminated our interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $650 million.

•

On June 15, 2011, we prepaid $450.0 million principal amount of the 8³/4% senior notes and the remaining $131.1 million principal balance of the 10% senior subordinated notes with proceeds received from New Term Loan B and cash on hand.

See Note 7 and Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included elsewhere in this Interim Report on Form 10-Q, for additional information about the items described above. For additional information regarding our contractual cash obligations as of December 31, 2010, see Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 filed on February 24, 2011.

Critical Accounting Estimates

In preparing the financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, management must make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting period. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex. Consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. Accounting measurements that management believes are most critical to the reported results of our operations and financial condition include: uncollectible receivables and allowance for credit losses and doubtful accounts, goodwill and long-lived assets, self-insurance programs, legal proceedings and other loss contingencies and income taxes.

In addition to the critical accounting estimates, there are other items used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that require estimation, but are not deemed critical. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements.

We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates used to prepare the consolidated financial statements. In cases where management estimates are used, they are based on historical experience, information from third-party professionals, and various other assumptions believed to be reasonable. Our critical accounting estimates are discussed in the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section of “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, our most significant accounting policies are discussed in Note 2 and elsewhere in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which includes audited financial statements.

New Accounting Standards

In September 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-08, Goodwill and Other (Topic 350)—Testing Goodwill for Impairment. The new guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment model that is currently in place. If it is determined through the qualitative assessment that a reporting unit’s fair value is more likely than not greater than its carrying value, the remaining impairment steps would be unnecessary. The qualitative assessment is optional, allowing companies to go directly to the quantitative assessment. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011; however, early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-08 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220)—Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The new guidance requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The new guidance is effective for the first annual reporting period, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011, and should be applied retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted because compliance with the amendments is already permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2011-05 will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Foreign Currency

Our foreign currency exposure is limited and arises from transactions denominated in foreign currencies, particularly intercompany loans, as well as from translation of the results of operations from our Canadian and, to a much lesser extent, Mexican subsidiaries. However, fluctuations between U.S. and non-U.S. currency values may adversely affect our results of operations and financial position. In addition, there may be tax inefficiencies in repatriating cash from non-U.S. subsidiaries. To the extent such repatriation is necessary for us to meet our debt service or other obligations, these tax inefficiencies may adversely affect us. We have not entered into any foreign exchange contracts to hedge changes in the Canadian or Mexican exchange rates. Canadian currency translation positively affected net income by approximately $0.5 million and $2.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. Currency exposure of our Mexican operations is not material to the results of operations.

Interest Rates

We are exposed to interest rate risk on our variable rate borrowings. Accordingly, interest rate fluctuations affect the amount of interest expense we are obligated to pay. We generally use interest rate derivative agreements to manage the variability of cash flows to be paid due to interest rate movements on our variable rate

debt. We have designated our interest rate derivatives as cash flow hedges. The earnings impact of the derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded upon the recognition of the interest related to the hedged debt. Any ineffectiveness in the hedging relationships is recognized in current earnings. There was no significant ineffectiveness in the first nine months of 2011 or 2010.

In August 2011, we purchased three interest rate caps for an aggregate amount of approximately $1.1 million and an aggregate notional amount of $925 million to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our variable rate New Term Loan B credit facility when one-month LIBOR exceeds 1.25%. The interest rate cap agreements each had an effective date of August 16, 2011 and each mature on August 16, 2013.

The fair values of the interest rate derivatives are based on quoted market prices for similar instruments from commercial banks. As noted above, our interest rate swap agreement was terminated in May 2011 and our old interest rate cap agreement matured on June 30, 2011. At September 30, 2011, the aggregate fair value of the three interest rate caps was a $1.2 million asset recorded in “Other assets” on the consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 2010, the fair value of the interest rate swap was a $16.6 million unrealized loss recorded in “Other accrued expenses” on the consolidated balance sheet, and the fair value of the old interest rate cap was a less than $0.1 million asset recorded in “Other current assets” on the consolidated balance sheet. Unrealized gains or losses on the interest rate derivatives are included as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income.” At September 30, 2011, there was a net unrealized gain totaling $0.2 million, net of tax benefits of $0.1 million. At December 31, 2010, there was a net unrealized loss totaling $10.5 million, net of tax benefits of $6.4 million. We were exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties; however, non-performance is not anticipated. We only partially hedged our exposure to interest rate fluctuations on our old variable rate debt. A sensitivity analysis of the impact on our variable rate debt instruments to a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in short-term rates for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 would have resulted in an increase in interest expense of approximately $0.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a–15(e) and 15d–15(e). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2011, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

Certain legal proceedings in which the Company is involved are discussed in Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 and Part I, Item 3 of the same Annual Report. The following discussion is limited to certain recent developments concerning our legal and regulatory proceedings and should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report. Unless otherwise indicated, all proceedings discussed in the Annual Report remain outstanding.

IAAI—Lower Duwamish Waterway

On March 25, 2008, the United States Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA, issued a General Notice of Potential Liability pursuant to Section 107(a), and a Request for Information pursuant to Section 104(e) of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, or “CERCLA” to IAAI for a Superfund site known as the Lower Duwamish Waterway (“LDW”) Superfund Site in Seattle, Washington. IAAI operates a branch on property it leases in Tukwila, Washington; the property is located adjacent to the LDW. At this time, the EPA has not demanded that IAAI pay any funds or take any action apart from responding to the Section 104(e) Information Request. The EPA has advised IAAI that, to date, it has sent out approximately 60 general notice letters to other parties, and has sent Section 104(e) Requests to more than 250 other parties. A remedial investigation has been conducted for this site by some of the potentially responsible parties, who have also commenced a feasibility study pursuant to CERCLA. IAAI is aware that certain authorities plan to bring Natural Resource Damage claims against potentially responsible parties. In addition, the Washington State Department of Ecology is working with the EPA in relation to LDW, primarily to investigate and address sources of potential contamination contributing to LDW. IAAI, the current Tukwila property owner and the former Tukwila property owner are currently in discussion with the Washington State Department of Ecology concerning possible source control obligations, including an investigation of the water and soils entering the stormwater system, an analysis of the source of any contamination identified within the system and possible repairs and upgrades to the stormwater capture and filtration system. In 2011, IAAI submitted results of its stormwater system investigation to comply with the Washington State Department of Ecology source control requirements.

Item 1A.

Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, readers should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
