Report
of
Independent Registered Public Accounting
Firm
Plan
Administrator
Kirby
401(k) Plan:
We
have
audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan benefits
(modified cash basis) of the Kirby 401(k) Plan (the Plan) as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the related statements of changes in net
assets available for plan benefits (modified cash basis) for the years then
ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan’s
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures
in
the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As
described in note 2, these financial statements and supplemental schedule
were prepared on a modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive
basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles.
In
our
opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of
December 31, 2005 and 2004 and the changes in net assets available for plan
benefits for the years then ended, on the basis of accounting described in
note 2.
Our
audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule H,
line 4i - schedule of assets (held at end of year) (modified cash basis) as
of December 31, 2005 is presented for the purpose of additional analysis
and is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is
supplementary information required by the Department of Labor’s Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. The supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan’s management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in
our
opinion, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

Description
of the Plan
|
The
Kirby
401(k) Plan (the Plan) is a defined contribution 401(k) plan for the benefit
of
employees of Kirby Corporation (the Company) and certain subsidiaries. Each
employee is eligible to join the Plan as of the first pay period following
completion of one year of service and the attainment of age 18. Employees
covered by collective bargaining agreements, the terms of which do not provide
for participation in the Plan, are not eligible. The Plan is subject to the
provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended
(ERISA). Further information relating to the Plan’s provisions is available in
the Plan Document.
The
Hollywood Marine, Inc. (HMI) 401(k) Plan (HMI Plan) was merged into the Plan,
and all HMI balances were transferred to the Plan effective December 31,
1999. Commencing January 1, 2000, former HMI Plan participants are subject
to the same plan provisions as the Plan participants. In connection with the
plan merger, the Plan was amended on December 31, 1999 to include HMI
employees.
The
general administration of the Plan is the responsibility of the Company (the
plan administrator). The plan administrator has broad powers regarding the
operation and administration of the Plan and receives no compensation for
service to the Plan. All administrative expenses, unless paid by the Company
at
its discretion, are paid by the Plan. During 2005 and 2004, all expenses were
paid by the Company. Wells Fargo Bank (Wells) is the trustee of the
Plan.
The
Plan
provides for basic employee pretax contributions to the Plan of up to 3% of
covered compensation as defined, and for additional employee pretax
contributions to the Plan of up to 14% of covered compensation subject to the
provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code).
Participants age 50 or older during the Plan year may also elect to make a
“catch-up” contribution, subject to certain Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
limits ($4,000 in 2005 and $3,000 in 2004). The Company contributes matching
employer contributions equal to 100% of basic employee pretax contributions.
The
Company does not match the additional employee pretax or catch-up contributions.
Matching employer contributions are used to purchase Company common stock.
Employees may transfer the matching employer contributions to other funds upon
receipt.
Effective
April 1, 2005, all employees hired or rehired after April 1, 2005 will be
automatically enrolled at a 3% pretax contribution rate, unless otherwise
elected by the participant.
In
addition, participants may contribute amounts representing rollovers from other
qualified plans or from an individual retirement account.

Benefits
Payments and Loans
|
Benefits
payments are made to participants upon retirement or termination of employment
(or to the beneficiary in the event of death) and are in the form of lump sum
distribution payments. A participant may request a loan for up to the lesser
of
50% of the participant’s vested interest or $50,000, less the participant’s
highest outstanding loan balance during the preceding 12 months. Loans are
typically repaid over a five-year period and bear interest at prime rate plus
1%. Interest rates ranged from 5% to 10.5% at December 31, 2005. Loans
outstanding at December 31, 2005 mature from January 3, 2006 through December
31, 2010. Loans outstanding upon a participant’s termination of employment are
considered deemed distributions if not repaid and are deducted from the
participant’s account balance prior to distribution. These amounts are taxed to
the participant in the year of the participant’s termination. Former
participants of the HMI Plan are eligible to receive in service withdrawals
from
their vested HMI account balance after attaining 59 1/2 years of
age.
Effective
March 28, 2005, the Plan requires automatic distribution of participant
accounts upon termination without the participants consent of amounts less
than
$5,000 and greater than $1,000. If the participant does not elect to have the
amount paid directly to an eligible retirement plan or receive a distribution
directly, then the Plan will pay the distribution to an individual retirement
plan designated by the Plan Administrator.
Amounts
less than $1,000 will continue to be paid directly to participants upon
termination.
Effective
October 14, 2005, the Plan was amended to include certain provisions of the
Katrina Emergency Tax Relief Act of 2005.
Participants
are 100% vested in their participant contributions and rollovers, if any.
Participants in the Plan have an immediate and fully vested interest in the
portion of the account relating to employer contributions and may, upon
resignation from or discharge by the employer, withdraw their entire account
balance.
Employer
contributions made to the prior HMI Plan are subject to a five-year vesting
schedule based on the participant’s HMI service date. Forfeitures of nonvested
participants are credited to the accounts of former HMI Plan participants
employed at year-end based on a formula that considers the total compensation,
as defined, of all former HMI Plan participants for that plan year. Forfeitures
in the amount of $54,543 and $8,431 as of December 31, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, were available for allocation to former HMI Plan participants.
As
of December 31, 2005, all participants are 100% vested.
Although
it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the
Plan to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event
of
termination, the amounts credited to the accounts of participants will be
distributed to the participants after payment of expenses for distribution
and
liquidation.

Valuation
of Participant
Accounts
|
Under
the
Plan, each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s
contribution, the Company’s matching contribution and an allocation of
investment income (loss), net of administrative expenses. Investment income
(loss) is allocated daily to participants. The benefit to which a participant
is
entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested
account.

Summary
of Significant Accounting
Policies
|
|
(a) |
Basis
of Presentation
|
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the modified cash basis,
which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other than U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles, and is an acceptable method of reporting under Department
of Labor regulations. The modified cash basis of accounting utilizes the cash
basis of accounting while carrying investments at fair value and recording
investment income on the accrual basis. Consequently, contributions are
recognized when received rather than when earned, and expenses are recognized
when paid rather than when the obligation is incurred. As of December 31,
2005, $106,692 of employee contributions and $47,250 of employer contributions
for the 2005 Plan year had not been remitted to the trust. As of
December 31, 2004, $104,036 of employee contributions and $48,738 of
employer contributions for the 2004 Plan year had not been remitted to the
trust. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, $79,376 and $71,555, respectively,
of excess deferrals were held by the trust and distributed to participants
subsequent to year end. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, $60,892 and
$33,719, respectively, of participant loan balances were in default and deemed
distributed subsequent to year end. Under U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles, these amounts would have been reflected as accounts receivable,
accounts payable, and a reduction of outstanding participant loans,
respectively.
The
preparation of financial statements requires Plan management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and changes therein. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Investments
in mutual funds and Company common stock are stated at fair value based on
quoted market prices. Investments in common trust funds are stated at fair
market value based upon quoted market prices of the underlying assets. Purchases
and sales of investments are recorded on a trade date basis. Net appreciation
(depreciation) in fair value of investments includes realized gains and losses
on investments sold during the year as well as net appreciation (depreciation)
of the investments held at the end of the year. Participant loans are stated
at
cost, which approximates their fair value. Interest and dividend income is
accrued in the period earned.
Payments
to participants are recorded as the benefits are paid.

Concentration
of Investments
|
The
Plan’s investment in shares of Kirby Corporation common stock represents 25% and
22% of total assets as of December 31, 2005 and 2004 respectively. Kirby
Corporation is engaged in marine transportation and diesel engine
services.
Each
shareholder is entitled to exercise voting rights attributable to the shares
of
Company common stock allocated to his or her account and is notified by the
trustee prior to the time that such rights are to be exercised. The trustee
is
not permitted to vote any shares for which instructions have not been given
by
the participant. During 2005 and 2004, the Plan purchased all shares of Company
common stock in the open market.
(6) |
Risk
and Uncertainties
|
The
Plan
may invest in common trust funds, mutual funds and Company common stock.
Investment securities are exposed to various risks, such as interest rate,
market, and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain
investment securities, it is probable that changes in the value of investment
securities will occur in the near term.
(7) |
Related
Party Transactions
|
Certain
Plan investment options include shares of Company common stock and common trust
funds and mutual funds managed by Wells. The Company is the plan sponsor, and
Wells is the trustee as defined by the Plan. Therefore, these transactions
qualify as party-in-interest transactions. These transactions are covered by
an
exemption from the “prohibited transaction” provisions of ERISA and the
Code.
The
Plan
has participant loans outstanding, which are secured solely by a portion of
the
participant’s vested account balance, in accordance with the Plan
Document.

Management
considers the Plan to be in compliance with Section 401(a) of the Code and,
accordingly, to be entitled to an exemption from federal income taxes under
the
provisions of Section 501(a). A letter dated August 30, 2001 has been
received by Wells stating that the form of the prototype plan is acceptable
under the Code Section 401 for use by employers for the benefit of their
employees. The letter, in effect, states that an employer who adopts the Plan
will be considered to be qualified under the Code Section 401(a) provided
all terms of the Plan are met and the Plan does not discriminate in favor of
key
or highly compensated employees. Therefore, the plan administrator believes
the
Plan was qualified and the related trust was tax exempt as of December 31,
2005 and 2004.
