| |  | Freight transportation rates for the Inland Waterways fluctuate
    from time to time and may decrease.

| |  | The inland barge transportation industry is highly competitive;
    increased competition could adversely affect us.

| |  | A portion of our barge fleet is near retirement, which, if not
    replaced, could adversely affect our revenue, earnings and cash
    flows.                                                                                                                                    
|
| |  | Our cash flows and borrowing facilities may not be adequate for
    our additional capital needs and, if we incur additional
    borrowings, our future cash flow and capital resources may not
    be sufficient for payments of interest and principal of our
    indebtedness.
|
| |  | Increases in prevailing interest rates would increase our
    interest payment obligations on the floating rate portion of our
    debt.                                                                                                                                         
|
| |  | There may be adverse consequences if the pending appeal of the
    confirmation of our Plan of Reorganization is successful.                                                                                                                                                     
|
| |  | Our barging services outside the United States subject us to
    changes in foreign economic and political conditions.                                                                                                                                                           
|
| |  | We are subject to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and to
    foreign governmental restrictions on the repatriation of profits
    in U.S. dollars.                                                                                                                        
|
| |  | A disposition of our Venezuelan operations would affect earnings.                                                                                                                                                                                                                
|
| |  | The loss of one or more key customers, or material nonpayment or
    nonperformance by one or more of our key customers, could have a
    material adverse effect on our revenue and profitability.                                                                              
|
| |  | The loss of key personnel, including highly skilled and licensed
    vessel personnel, could adversely affect our business.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.




RISKS RELATED TO OUR INDUSTRY




| |                                                                                                        
| | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | Freight transportation rates for the Inland Waterways
    fluctuate from time to time and may decrease.





| |                                                                               
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | An oversupply of barging capacity may lead to reductions
    in freight rates.





| |                                                                                                                     
| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | Yields from North American and worldwide grain harvests
    could materially affect demand for our barging services.





| |                                                                                                          
| | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | Diminishing demand for new barge construction may lead to
    a reduction in sales prices for new barges.

| | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| | Higher fuel prices, if not recouped from our customers,
    could dramatically increase operating expenses and adversely
    affect profitability.





| |

| |  | On January 31, 2005, the Miller Entities filed a statement
    of issues to be raised in the appeal to the District Court.
    These issues include, among others, that the enterprise value as
    of the effective date of the Plan of Reorganization
    (January 11, 2005) of the reorganized debtors of
    $500 million as determined by the Bankruptcy Court as part
    of the Confirmation Order is too low and was based on inaccurate
    and incomplete information; the Plan of Reorganization is not
    fair and equitable as to the Miller Entities and
    other holders of PIK Notes; the Miller Entities claims
    should not have been subordinated to the claims of holders of
    the 2008 Senior Notes as provided under the Plan of
    Reorganization; third-party releases provided by the
    Plan of Reorganization should not have been granted; the ballot
    cast by HY I to accept the Plan of Reorganization should be
    disregarded; and DHC should not have received any recovery under
    the Plan of Reorganization.
|
| |  | The Miller Entities filed their Appellants Brief on
    March 10, 2005. On March 25, 2005, we filed the
    Appellees Brief and the Appellees Motion to Dismiss.
    In the Appellees Motion To Dismiss, we asserted that the
    appeal should be dismissed because, under principles sometimes
    referred to as equitable mootness, no relief may be
    equitably fashioned even if the Miller Entities raise a
    legitimate ground for reversal or modification of all or some
    part of the Confirmation Order. The Miller Entities filed their
    Response In Opposition To Appellees Motion to Dismiss on
    April 1,

    2005. On April 12, 2005, we filed the following:
    (i) Motion To Strike Declaration Of Tom Thompson;
    (ii) Brief In Support Of The Motion To Strike Declaration
    Of Tom Thompson; and (iii) Reply To Response Of Miller
    Entities Opposition To Motion To Dismiss. On
    April 21, 2004, the Miller Entities filed the Response By
    MilFam II LP And Trust A-4 In Opposition To
    Appellees Motion To Strike Declaration Of Tom Thompson and
    on May 2, 2005, we filed Appellees Reply Regarding
    Motion To Strike Declaration Of Tom Thompson. On May 11,
    2005, the Miller Entities filed the Response By MilFam II
    LP And Trust A-4 In Opposition To Appellees Second
    Motion To Strike Declaration Of Tom Thompson, and on
    June 21, 2005, they filed the Request By Miller Entities
    For Oral Argument. We filed Appellees Response To Request
    For Oral Argument on June 28, 2005, and the Miller Entities
    filed the Reply By MilFam II LP And Trust A-4 To
    Appellees Response To Request For Oral Argument on
    July 8, 2005. On August 9, 2005, the Miller Entities
    filed an Emergency Motion for Expedited Consideration of Appeal,
    which was denied by the District Court on August 18, 2005.
    On October 31, 2005 and February 10, 2006, we filed
    two additional supplemental affidavits in support of our motion
    to dismiss. Those affidavits relate respectively to the
    consummation of the IPO and that completion of distribution of
    new shares under the Plan of Reorganization.
|
| |  | In several of the briefs and other pleadings filed with the
    District Court, the Miller Entities have stated that they seek a
    limited remedy and are not seeking to
    undo the Plan of Reorganization. The Miller Entities
    have asserted that they are seeking to recover a portion of the
    equity value of the reorganized debtors as of the effective date
    of the Plan of Reorganization that the Miller Entities contend
    has been or will be distributed in the form of new shares to
    holders of our 2008 Senior Notes and that should have instead
    been distributed to the holders of PIK Notes. Among the remedies
    that the Miller Entities argue should be implemented is the
    issuance to holders of PIK Notes of sufficient additional new
    shares so that the holders of the PIK Notes will realize the
    additional value that the Miller Entities assert the holders of
    PIK Notes are entitled, with the issuance of such additional new
    shares correspondingly diluting the value of new shares that
    were issued to holders of 2008 Senior Notes. The issuance of new
    shares could materially dilute the percentage of ownership of
    some or all of ACL Inc.s stockholders.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
|
| |  | We intend to continue to oppose the appeal and to advocate that
    the appeal should be dismissed. However, we can make no
    assurance that the District Court (or the Seventh Circuit Court
    of Appeals or the United States Supreme Court, in the case of
    any further appeal) will dismiss the appeal, or that the
    ultimate outcome of this matter will not materially adversely
    affect either our ability to fully consummate our Plan of
    Reorganization as confirmed or the market value of our common
    stock and will not involve a material cost to us. Any such
    outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business,
    financial condition and results of operations.

| |  | SBA Shipyard, Jennings, Louisiana. SBA Shipyard is a
    remediation site that was operated by a third-party barge
    cleaning service provider utilized by National Marine, Inc., an
    entity whose assets were combined with ours in 1998. A
    potentially responsible party group of barge operators, which
    includes us, has been formed to coordinate final cleanup of this
    site. The removal action was completed pursuant to a work plan
    accepted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
    (U.S. EPA) and on February 24, 2006, the
    U.S. EPA approved the final work plan for the site. As of
    December 31, 2005 we had expended approximately $710,000 in
    connection with this site. As of December 31, 2005, we had
    a reserve of approximately $930. No additional contributions are
    required or anticipated at this time.

| |  | EPS, Marietta, Ohio. EPS, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary
    of Vectura Group Inc., is the owner of Connex Pipe Systems
    closed solid waste landfill located in Marietta, Ohio
    (Connex). We assumed liability for the monitoring
    and potential cleanup of Connex (up to $30,000 per year)
    pursuant to our combination with Vectura Group in 1998. In 1986,
    Connex was subject to an Ohio consent judgment (Consent
    Judgment) under which it agreed to remediate and monitor
    the closed landfill for a period of three years. Connex complied
    with the Consent Judgment, and in 1994 the Ohio Environmental
    Protection Agency (Ohio EPA) issued a letter
    confirming Connexs compliance. In 1998, the Ohio EPA
    changed its regulations with respect to monitoring requirements
    to require longer monitoring periods for closed sites and sought
    to apply those new regulations to Connex retroactively. In
    November 1998, the Ohio EPA issued finalized guidance
    (Final Guidance) regarding retroactive application
    of the Ohio EPA requirements. We have requested written
    confirmation from the Ohio EPA that the new regulations do not
    retroactively apply and that our monitoring responsibilities
    with respect to the property have been fulfilled. Currently, we
    coordinate inspections of the property four times a year for
    integrity and maintenance of the cap with minimal associated
    cost. As of December 31, 2005, we had a reserve of
    approximately $31,400 in the event that future monitoring or
    testing of the site is required.

| |  | Third Site, Zionsville, Indiana. Jeffboat LLC has been
    named a potentially responsible party at Third Site by the
    U.S. EPA. Third Site was utilized for the storage of
    hazardous substances and wastes during the remediation of the
    Environmental Conservation and Chemical Corporation and
    Northside Sanitary Landfill (ECC/ NSL) in
    Zionsville, Indiana. As a potentially responsible party at ECC/
    NSL, Jeffboat is responsible for 3.6% of the total volume of
    materials to be remediated at Third Site as well. Remediation
    activities are ongoing at Third Site, and, as of
    December 31, 2005, Jeffboat had contributed approximately
    $225,000 toward that remediation. No additional contributions
    are required or anticipated at this time, and therefore no
    additional environmental reserves have been made for this matter.

| |  | Barge Cleaning Facilities, Port Arthur, Texas. American
    Commercial Barge Line LLC received notices from the
    U.S. EPA in 1999 and 2004 that it is a potentially
    responsible party at the State Marine of Port Arthur and the
    Palmer Barge Line Superfund Sites in Port Arthur, Texas with
    respect to approximately 50 barges that were cleaned by State
    Marine and approximately five barges that were cleaned by Palmer
    Barge Line for us in the early 1980s. The U.S. EPA has made
    no assessments with respect to these sites.

| |  | Tiger Shipyard, Baton Rouge, Louisiana. At the direction
    of the State of Louisiana, we have participated in a cleanup of
    a former barge cleaning operation at this site involving the
    cleaning of approximately seven barges and the disposal of barge
    wash water. As of June 30, 2005, we had incurred costs of
    approximately $6.7 million in connection with this site.
    The barge cleaning activities are complete. As of
    December 31, 2005, we had a reserve of approximately $9,120
    in the event that the State of Louisiana requires future testing
    at the site or additional disposal efforts.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  
|
| |  | PHI/ Harahan Site, Harahan, Louisiana. We have been
    contacted by the State of Louisiana in connection with the
    investigation and cleanup of diesel and/or jet fuel in soil at
    this site. We believe contamination may have been caused by a
    tenant on the property and have so notified the regulatory
    authorities. On March 22, 2005, we submitted an
    investigation work plan for approval by the State of Louisiana.
    We do not know what level of fuel may be discovered in this
    investigation or whether cleanup will be required. We have paid
    approximately $20,000 in consultant fees related to
    investigation at this site. As of December 31, 2005, we had
    a reserve of approximately $2,000 in the event that future
    testing, clean-up or
    monitoring of the site is required.

|(a) |  | On May 29, 2002, DHC, our former parent company, purchased
    ACL Holdings LLC (ACL Holdings) and elected
    push-down accounting which is reflected in the basis of our
    properties and related depreciation from May 29, 2002 to
    December 30, 2004. On December 31, 2004 we applied
    fresh start accounting upon our emergence from bankruptcy. This
    is reflected in the basis of our properties as of
    December 31, 2004 and related depreciation, thereafter.

|(d) |  | We filed a petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of
    the U.S. Bankruptcy Court on January 31, 2003. Items
    related to the reorganization are presented separately in
    accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public
    Accountants (AICPA) Statement of
    Position 90-7,
    Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under
    the Bankruptcy Code. In 2004, we recorded a loss of
    $35,206 from the sale of Argentina assets and other
    reorganization items of $21,715. In the fourth quarter 2004, we
    recorded $83,030 in fresh-start accounting adjustments due to
    the emergence from bankruptcy.

    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, in 2001
    with a cumulative effect adjustment of $490 in non-cash expense
    for an interest rate cap. In the fourth quarter 2004, we
    recorded a gain on the discharge of debt of $155,358 due to our
    emergence from bankruptcy.

|(h) |  | Adjusted EBITDA represents net income before interest, income
    taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted as described
    below. Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors
    about us and our financial condition and results of operations
    for the following reasons: (i) it is one of the measures
    used by our board of directors and management team to evaluate
    our operating performance, (ii) it is one of the measures
    used by our management team to make
    day-to-day operating
    decisions, (iii) certain management compensation is based
    upon performance metrics which use Adjusted EBITDA as a
    component and (iv) it is used by securities analysts,
    investors and other interested parties as common performance
    measure to compare results across companies in our industry. For
    these reasons, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure to
    present to our investors.

|    |  | Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a measure of
    discretionary cash available to us to invest in the growth of
    our business. We compensate for these limitations by relying
    primarily on our GAAP results and using Adjusted EBITDA only
    supplementally. See the statements of cash flow included in our
    consolidated financial statements.

    expense of $139,951 for reorganization items and fresh start
    adjustments. For the years ended December 27, 2002 and
    December 26, 2003, Adjusted EBITDA excludes nonrecurring
    Danielson Recapitalization fees and reorganization items as

    certain barge leases and other executory contracts. These
    rejections and the consequent reduction in the size of the
    domestic barging fleet resulted in the elimination of a number
    of salary and vessel employee positions. In addition, a number
    of management changes were initiated to better position the
    Company to emerge from Chapter 11 |        |        | 553          |   |        |        | 1,486 | 
|                                 |                            | As a result of the rejection of certain barge charter agreements
    due to the Chapter 11 filing and the rights of the charter
    owners to rely upon letters of credit to guarantee future
    payments of charter hire, draws totaling $2,354 in 2004 and
    $5,146 in 2003 were made on the letters. An additional $309 was
    accrued for settlements relating to the rejected barge charter

|(d) |  | Reflects the allocation to the long-lived assets of ACL LLC of
    the combined amount of the equity and the estimated present
    value of the liabilities of the Reorganized Company. The equity
    is calculated by subtracting long-term debt from the
    reorganization value of the Company. The combined amount is
    allocated based upon the estimated fair value of the long lived
    assets, which is based upon independent appraisals as of
    December 31, 2004. The allocation is in conformity with the
    procedures specified by SFAS No. 141, Business
    Combinations. The sum of the fair value estimates of the
    long-lived assets exceeded the combined amount to be allocated.
    This excess is allocated as a pro-rata reduction of the amounts
    that otherwise would have been assigned to the long-lived
    assets. The adjustment reduced properties, investment in equity
    investments and software.
