(a)In calculating diluted earnings per share, SFAS 128, Earnings per Share requires the Company to include the potential shares that would be outstanding if all outstanding stock options were exercised offset by shares the Company could repurchase using all the proceeds from these hypothetical exercises.  This number is different from outstanding stock options, which is included in Note 3, Share-Based Compensation.

Basic earnings per share is based upon the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding.  Earnings per share, assuming dilution, is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of the following types of potentially dilutive common shares:

convertible debt,


employee stock options, and

·convertible debt,

other equity awards, which include unvested restricted stock and long-term incentive awards.


·employee stock options, and

·other equity awards, which include unvested restricted stock and long-term incentive awards.

Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 04-8,The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings Per Share, required CSX to include approximately 19 millionadditional shares in the computation of earnings per share, assuming dilution.  The amount included in diluted earnings per share represents the number of shares that would be issued if all the Company’sof CSX’s convertible debentures were converted. Debentures previouslyconverted into CSX common stock.

When convertible debentures are converted into CSX common stock, the newly-issued shares are reflectedincluded in the calculation of both basic and diluted earnings per share calculation.

In 2006, certainshare.  During third quarter and nine months of 2007, $37 million and $374 million of face value convertible debentures were converted into 1 million and 13 million shares of CSX common stock, respectively.  No material conversions occurred during 2006.  At September 2007, $174 million face value remained outstanding convertible into 6 million shares.


Stock options wereare excluded from the computation of earnings per share, assuming dilution, since their relatedwhen option exercise prices wereare greater than the average market price of the common shares during the period. In 2007, all stock options were dilutive.  Therefore, no stock options were excluded from the earnings per share calculation. The following table presents information about potentially dilutive stock options excluded from the computation
NOTE 3.   Share-Based Compensation


CSX share-based compensation plans primarily include long-term incentive plans, restricted stock awards, stock options and stock plans for directors.Directors.  CSX has not granted stock options since 2003.  Awards granted under the various plans wereare determined and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or, in limitedcertain circumstances, by the CEOChief Executive Officer for awards to management employees other than senior executives.  The Governance Committee of the Board of Directors approves awards granted to the Company’s non-management Directors.


In May 2007, performance units were granted to certain layers of management under a new Long-term Incentive Plan adopted under the CSX Omnibus Incentive Plan.  This plan provides for a three-year cycle ending in fiscal year 2009.  Similar to the two existing plans, the key financial target is Surface Transportation operating ratio, which is defined as annual operating expenses divided by revenue of the Company’s rail and intermodal businesses and is calculated excluding certain non-recurring items. Grants were made in performance units and are payable in CSX common stock.  The payout range for the majority of participants will be between 0% and 200% of the original grant, with each unit being equivalent to one share of CSX stock.  The payout for certain senior executive officers is subject to a 20% increase or decrease based upon certain additional pre-established financial targets.  This could result in a maximum payout of 240% of the original grant.  However, any payout to certain senior executive officers is also subject to a reduction of up to 30% at the discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors based upon Company performance against certain CSX strategic initiatives.

Details with respect to each type of reserve are described below.  Actual settlements and claims received and settlements could differ.  The final outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty.  Considering the legal defenses available, the liabilities that have been recorded and other factors, it is the opinion of management that none of these items, when finally resolved, will have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.  However, should a number of these items occur in the same period, they could have a material effect on the results of operations, financial condition or liquidity in a particular quarter or fiscal year.


Casualty


Casualty reserves represent accruals for personal injury and occupational injury claims.  Currently, no individual claim is expected to exceed the Company’s self-insured retention amount.  To the extent the value of an individual claim exceeds the self-insured retention amount, CSX would present the liability on a gross basis with a corresponding receivable for insurance recoveries.  Personal injury and occupational claims are presented on a gross basis and in accordance with SFASStatement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 5,Accounting for Contingencies (“SFAS 5”).

Personal Injury


Personal injury reserves represent liabilities for employee work-related and third-partythird party injuries.  Work-related injuries for CSXT employees are primarily subject to the Federal Employers’ Liability Act (“FELA”).  In addition to the above FELA liabilities, employees of other CSX subsidiaries are covered by various state workers’workers' compensation laws, the Federal Longshore and Harbor Worker’sWorker's Compensation Program or the Maritime Jones Act.

CSXT retains an independent actuarial firm to assist management in assessing the likely cost of personal injury claims and cases.  An analysis is performed by the independent actuarial firm semi-annually and is reviewed by management. The methodology used by the actuary includes a development factor to reflect growth or reduction in the value of these personal injury claims. It is based largely on CSXT’s historical claims and settlement experience.  Actual results may vary from estimates due to the type and severity of the injury, costs of medical treatments, and uncertainties in litigation.


Based on management’s review of its semi-annual actuarial analysis performed by an independent actuarial firm, personal injury reserves were reduced by $30 million during second quarter 2007.  This reduction is due to a trend of significant decreases in the number and severity of work-related injuries for CSXT employees since 2003 and was included as a reduction to Materials, Supplies and Other in the Consolidated Income Statements.

Occupational


Occupational claims arise from allegations of exposureexposures to certain materials in the work place. Examples of exposures would beworkplace, such as asbestos, solvents (which include soaps and chemicals), and diesel fuel and allegedfuels or allegations of chronic physical injuries resulting from work conditions. Examples of claims arising from work conditions, would besuch as repetitive stress injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome orand hearing loss.


The Company retains a third party specialist with extensive experience in performing asbestos and other occupational studies to assist management in assessing the value of the Company’s claims and cases. The analysis is performed by the specialist semi-annually and is reviewed by management.  The methodology used by the specialist includes an estimate of future anticipated claims based on the Company’s trends ofin average historical claim filing rates, future anticipated dismissal rates and settlement rates.

Environmental


The Company is a party to various proceedings related to environmental issues, including administrative and judicial proceedings, involving private parties and regulatory agencies. The Company has been identified as a potentially responsible party at approximately 256244 environmentally impaired sites.  Many of those are, or may be, subject to remedial action under the Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, or CERCLA, also known as the Superfund law, or similar state statutes. Most of these proceedings arose from environmental conditions on properties used for ongoing or discontinued railroad operations.  However, a number of these proceedings are based on allegations that the Company, or its predecessors, sent hazardous substances to facilities owned or operated by others.others for treatment or disposal.  In addition, some of the Company’s land holdings were leased to others for commercial or industrial uses that may have resulted in releases of hazardous substances or other regulated materials onto the property and could give rise to proceedings against the Company.


In accordance with Statement of Position 96-1,Environmental Remediation Liabilities, at least once a quarter, the Company reviews its role with respect to each site identified.identified at least once a quarter.  Based on the review process, the Company has recorded amounts to cover anticipated contingent future environmental remediation costs with respect to each site to the extent such costs are estimable and probable.  The recorded liabilities for estimated future environmental costs are undiscounted and include amounts representing the Company’sCompany's estimate of unasserted claims, which the Company believes to be immaterial.

Fuel Surcharge Antitrust Litigation

Since May 2007, at least 26 putative class action suits have been brought in various federal district courts against CSXT and the four other U.S.-based Class I railroads.  The lawsuits contain substantially similar allegations to the effect that the defendants’ fuel surcharge practices relating to contract and unregulated traffic resulted from an illegal conspiracy in violation of antitrust laws.  The suits seek unquantified treble damages allegedly sustained by purported class members, attorneys’ fees and other relief. All but three of the lawsuits purport to be filed on behalf of a class of shippers that allegedly purchased rail freight transportation services from the defendants through the use of contracts or through other means exempt from rate regulation during defined periods commencing as early as June 2003 and were assessed fuel surcharges.  Three of the lawsuits purport to be on behalf of indirect purchasers of rail services.

In July 2007, CSXT received a grand jury subpoena from the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General seeking information related to the same fuel surcharges that are the subject of the purported class actions.  It is possible that additional federal or state agencies could initiate investigations into similar matters.

CSXT believes that its fuel surcharge practices are lawful.  Accordingly, CSXT intends to vigorously defend itself against the purported class actions, which it believes are without merit.  CSXT cannot predict the outcome of the putative class action lawsuits, which are in their preliminary stages, or of any government investigations, charges, or additional litigation that may be filed in the future.  Penalties for violating antitrust laws can be severe, involving both potential criminal and civil liability.  CSXT is unable to assess at this time the possible financial impact of this litigation.  CSXT has not accrued any liability for an adverse outcome in the litigation.  If a material adverse outcome were to occur and be sustained, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and liquidity.

NOTE 8.   Hurricane Katrina


In August 2005, Hurricane Katrina caused extensive damage to Company assets on the Gulf Coast, including damage to track infrastructure and bridges.  Operations were returned to pre-hurricane conditions by the end of first quarter 2006.  In 2005, the Company had insurance coverage of $535 million, after a $25 million deductible (per occurrence), for fixed asset replacement, incremental expenses and lost profits.  Management’s current loss estimate is approximately $450 million.


The Company’s insurance policies do not prioritize coverage based on types of losses.  As claims are submitted to the insurance companies, they are reviewed and preliminary payments made until all losses are incurred and documented.  A final payment will be made once the Company and its insurers agree on the total measurement value of the claim.  Through the first quarterSeptember 2007, the Company had collected insurance payments of $357$359 million.

In first quarter of 2007, CSX recognized gains of $18 million


Gains on insurance recoveries from claims related to Hurricane Katrina. This gain was calculated using $19 million of cash proceeds received less $1 million related to incremental expense. NoKatrina were as follows:

2006

2006
Gain on Insurance Recoveries
 $        1
 $       15
 $      19
 $     141

The gains were recognized in the first quarter of 2006. The gains are attributable to recovering amounts in excess of the net book value of damaged fixed assets and to recording recoveries related to lost profits.  Additional cash proceeds are expected and will result in future gain recognition.


Cash proceeds from the insurers are not specific to the types of losses and so the Company allocated the proceeds ratably among the three types of losses mentioned above for cash flow presentation.  Allocated cash proceeds for lost profits and incremental expenses are classified as operating activities and were $9$10 million and $50$104 million for first quartersthe nine months ended 2007 and 2006, respectively, since these were related directly to revenue and expenses from operations.  Allocated cash proceeds for fixed asset damage are classified as investing activities and were $10$12 million and $130 million for first quarterthe nine months ended 2007 and 2006, respectively, since they had a direct relationship to money CSXthe Company spent on property additions to repair the hurricane-damaged assets and were recorded in the same category. No amounts were classified as investing activities for first quarter 2006.

Under the fixed rate agreements, CSX will pay variable interest based on LIBOR in exchange for a fixed rate, effectively transforming the notes to floating-rate obligations. In contrast, under the variable rate agreement, CSX will pay a fixed interest in exchange for a variable rate based on LIBOR. The interest rate swap agreements qualify and are designated as fair value hedges, and the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the fixed rate note attributed to the hedged risk, were recognized in current earnings during the period of change in fair values.

Hedge effectiveness is measured at least quarterly based on the relative change in fair value of the derivative contract in comparison with changes over time in the fair value of the fixed-rate notes. Any change in fair value resulting from ineffectiveness, as defined by SFAS 133,Accounting For Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities(“SFAS 133”), is recognized immediately in earnings. CSX’s interest rate swaps qualify as perfectly effective fair value hedges, as defined by SFAS 133. As such, there was no ineffective portion to the hedge recognized in earnings during the current or prior year periods. Fair value adjustments were immaterial for the first quarter of 2007 and have no cash impact on the Consolidated Cash Flow Statements since they are non-cash transactions.

As the nation consumes increasingly higher quantities of imported goods, those products must be transported across the country in a way that protects the environment, takes traffic off an already congested highway system, and minimizes fuel consumption and transportation costs.  The Company’s transportation network, located in the largest and fastest-growing population centers in the nation, is well-positioned to capitalize on consumption growth trends.  In this regard, more than two-thirds of Americans live within the Company’s service territory, accounting for about three-quarters of the nation’s largest coast-to-coast intermodal transportation providers,consumption.

The Company has made substantial strides in operating performance in order to be able to capitalize on these consumption growth trends.  In 2004, the Company implemented the ONE Plan, which focused on right-sizing the rail network and utilizing rail assets more efficiently.  Anchored by the ONE Plan and a variety of other initiatives, the Company has achieved significant operational improvements that have enhanced safety, reliability, customer service and productivity.  These strong results include the highest customer satisfaction scores ever achieved by the Company as measured by independent surveys of its customers.

In addition to the ONE Plan, the Company recently embarked on a new initiative called Total Service Integration (“TSI”), which aims to better align customer demands and the Company’s capabilities, ensuring that the rail network operates in the most efficient manner.  TSI will effectively create additional capacity and is aimed at optimizing train size and increasing asset utilization while offering better scheduled service to customers, which will ultimately drive improvements in operating efficiency.

These operational initiatives have resulted in strong results for shareholders.  Higher levels of customer service have led to improved pricing.  This combined with operational efficiencies have resulted in substantial improvements in CSX’s operating ratio and income from continuing operations.

Leadership and continued focus on established safety programs, which include training and rules compliance efforts, helped the Company maintain safety performance at historically high levels. Personal injury frequency declined ­­­17% and train accident frequency declined 14% on a year-over-year basis.

In addition to record safety results, all key operating measures improved during third quarter 2007, leading to improved service reliability and efficiency.  Train performance showed marked improvement, with on-time originations and arrivals at or near all-time highs. System dwell, the average number of hours a rail car spends in a terminal, declined to 21.9 hours as a result of improved network performance and terminal operations.  Both average train velocity and recrews improved, indicating a positive trend in overall network velocity and fluidity. Train velocity increased 8% to 21.4 miles per hour, while average recrews, which are the number of relief crews per day, improved by 18% to 45 per day.

Intermodal Operating Revenue


International Despite a reduction in higher revenue-per-unit traffic from long-haul markets, revenue per unit increased due to continued strength in pricing. Volumes were lower primarily due to the termination of certain customer contracts, losses due to select steamship carriers withdrawing from certain markets and slower growth from Asian markets.  Also, volume was impacted by the closing of a temporal slowdown in international freight shipments.terminal facility earlier this year.  Despite pricing gains, revenue per unit decreased due to unfavorable mix changes.

Operating Revenue

Operating Revenue increased $283 million to nearly $7.5 billion for the nine months ended 2007 due to continued pricing efforts partially offset by lower volume.

Operating Income

Operating Income increased $16 million to $1.6 billion for the nine months ended 2007.  Operating revenue gains and productivity gains from improved productivity.

operations were largely offset by significantly lower gains on insurance recoveries recognized during 2007 and the effects of inflation.


Other Income

Other Income decreased nearly 50% to $17 million in 2007 due to lower real estate and resort income.

Interest Expense

Interest Expense increased $9 million to $302 million for the nine months ended 2007 primarily due to higher average debt balances in 2007.

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Income Tax Expense

Income Tax Expense increased $93 million to $501 million, which was caused primarily by an income tax benefit of $110 million in 2006 principally related to the resolution of an income tax audit for the 1994 – 1996 period that was not repeated.

Discontinued Operations

Income from Discontinued Operations of $110 million in 2007 was due to the resolution of certain income tax matters related to former activities of the container shipping and marine service businesses.  This benefit is associated with tax basis adjustments, foreign dividends and foreign tax credits from operations over a multi-year period.

Net Earnings

Consolidated Net Earnings increased $8 million to $971 million, and Earnings Per Diluted Share increased $.06 to $2.13.  The principal elements of this increase are:

(a) slightly lower earnings from continuing operations primarily due to pricing gains being more than offset by higher prior year gains on insurance recoveries and tax benefits and

(b) the $110 million current year gain related to the resolution of certain tax matters associated with previously discontinued operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES


Material Changes in Consolidated Balance Sheets


The following are material changes in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and sources of liquidity and capital, which provide an update to the discussion included in CSX’sCSX's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Current Maturities of Long-term Debt increased $150 million, or 25%, from December 2006 as CSX expects to refinance an additional $150 million of notes in the second quarter of 2007 that


There were previously classified as Long-term Debt.

Dueseveral large reclassifications due to the adoption of FASB Interpretation 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48,48”), which required companies to reclassify uncertain tax positions into Income and Other Taxes Payable,Payable.  Other Long-term Assets decreased $313$373 million and Long-term Deferred Income Taxes decreased $282$179 million.


Long-term Debt increased $1.3 billion due to $2 billion of debt issuances in 2007 partially offset by the conversion of a portion of convertible debt into CSX common stock and the reclassification of Long-term Debt to Current Maturities for amounts owed within the next twelve months.  For additional information, see Note 7, Debt and Credit Agreements, under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other Capital decreased nearly $1 billion as a result of significant share repurchase activity partially offset by stock option exercises and the conversion of a portion of convertible debt into CSX common stock.  For additional information on the Company’s share repurchase activity, see Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, under Part I Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Significant Cash Flow Statement Items


Operating activities for nine months 2007 increased due to a number of factors including lower cash payments for federal income taxes.  Additionally, operating and investing activities for the first quarters ofnine months 2007 and 2006 included insurance proceeds of $19$22 million and $50$234 million, respectively, representing cash receipts from insurers related to Hurricane Katrina.  The receipts included in operating activities represent reimbursements for business interruption related expenses, such as incremental expenses for debris removal and lost profits.  The receipts included in investing activities included reimbursements for monies CSXthe Company spent to repair the hurricane-damaged assets.  For additional information on the impacts of Hurricane Katrina, see Note 7,8, Hurricane Katrina.

Katrina, under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Financing activities for the first quarter ofnine months 2007 included $179 million$1.6 billion of cash used to repurchase shares of CSX’s common stock on the open market.  SeeThis increase was largely offset by a net increase of $1.3 billion in long-term debt issued versus long-term debt repaid.  For additional information, see Note 7, Debt and Credit Agreements, and Note 1, Significant Accounting Policies, under Part II,I, Item 21 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional details on the repurchases.

Working Capital


CSX’s working capital deficitsurplus was $47$812 million at MarchSeptember 2007, compared to a surplus of $150 million at December 2006.  This decreaseincrease was primarily due to $150 milliona reduction in Current Maturities of Long-term Debt partially offset by the reclassification of Long-term Debt to Current Maturities of Long-term Debt.

Credit Ratings

Credit ratings reflect an independent agency’s judgment on the likelihood that was reclassified into Current Liabilitiesa borrower will repay a debt obligation at maturity.  The ratings reflect many considerations, such as the nature of the borrower’s industry and its competitive position, the size of the company, its liquidity and access to capital and the sensitivity of a company’s cash flows to changes in 2007 since the Company expectseconomy.  The two largest rating agencies, Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) and Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”), use alphanumeric codes to redeem thisdesignate their ratings.  The highest quality rating for long-term credit obligations is AAA+ and Aaa1 for S&P and Moody’s, respectively.  For short-term obligations, such as commercial paper, the highest quality ratings are A-1 and P-1 for S&P and Moody’s, respectively.

Long-term ratings of BBB- and Baa3 or better by S&P and Moody’s, respectively, reflect ratings on debt inobligations that fall within a band of credit quality considered to be “investment grade.”  Currently, the long-term ratings for CSX’s obligations, along with the other large U.S. Class 1 freight railroads, fall within the investment grade band of credit quality.

In the second quarter of 2007.

A working capital deficit2007, S&P and Moody’s both lowered their ratings of CSX's long-term unsecured debt obligations from BBB and Baa2, respectively, to BBB- and Baa3, respectively, due to the Company’s plan to repurchase an additional $1 billion of CSX stock.  Additionally, they lowered their short-term ratings on CSX from A-2 and P-2, to A-3 and P-3, respectively.  Both of these agencies indicate their outlook is not unusual for the Company or other companies in the industry“Stable” and these ratings continue to be investment grade.  CSX maintained these credit ratings during third quarter 2007 and does not indicate a lack ofexpect that this reduction in credit ratings will materially increase its borrowing costs or materially affect its liquidity.  The Company continuesIf CSX's credit ratings were to maintain adequate current assetsdecline to satisfy current liabilities and maturing obligations when they come due, and has sufficient financial capacity, including from CSX’s primary revolving credit agreement, to manage its day-to-day cash requirements and anticipated obligations.

Anticipated Debt Issuance

CSX plans to issue up to $1 billion in unsecured notes during the second quarter of 2007. However there can be no assurance that market conditions will permitlower levels, the Company to sell such securities. It is anticipated that approximately $600 millioncould experience more significant increases in its interest cost for new debt, and the market’s demand for new debt could become further influenced by the economic and credit market environment.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires that management make estimates in reporting the amounts of certain assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and certain revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results may differ from those estimates. These estimates and assumptions are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on a regular basis.  Consistent with the prior year, significant estimates using management judgment are made for the following areas:

Casualty, environmental and legal reserves


Pension and post-retirement medical plan accounting

·Casualty, environmental and legal reserves

Depreciation policies for assets under the group-life method


Income taxes

·Pension and post-retirement medical plan accounting


·Depreciation policies for assets under the group-life method

·Income taxes

Except for income taxes, there have been no material changes from the methodology applied by management for critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in CSX’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The methodology applied to management’s estimate for income taxes has changed due to the implementation of a new accounting pronouncement as described below.


CSX CORPORATION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Income Taxes


In July 2006, the FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board issued InterpretationFIN 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”), which became effective for CSX beginning in 2007.  FIN 48 addressed the determination of how tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements.  Under FIN 48, the Company must recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position.  The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate resolution.  The impact of the Company’s reassessment of its tax positions in accordance with FIN 48 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.


For additional information regarding the adoption of FIN 48, see Note 4, Income Taxes.  For further discussion of the Company’s critical accounting estimates related to income taxes, see the 2006CSX’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
