INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. OVERVIEW
Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. (the "Company" or "IES"), a Delaware
corporation, was founded in June 1997 to create a leading national provider of
electrical services, focusing primarily on the commercial and industrial,
residential, low voltage and service and maintenance markets.
The accompanying unaudited condensed historical financial statements of the
Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete
financial statements, and therefore should be reviewed in conjunction with the
financial statements and related notes thereto contained in the Company's annual
report for the year ended September 30, 2002, filed on Form 10-K with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a
fair presentation have been included. Actual operating results for the six
months ended March 31, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the results that
may be expected for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2003.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
For a description of these policies, refer to Note 2 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2002.
SUBSIDIARY GUARANTIES
All of the Company's operating income and cash flows are generated by its wholly
owned subsidiaries, which are the subsidiary guarantors of the Company's
outstanding 9 3/8% senior subordinated notes due 2009 (the "Senior Subordinated
Notes"). The Company is structured as a holding company and substantially all of
its assets and operations are held by its subsidiaries. There are currently no
significant restrictions on the Company's ability to obtain funds from its
subsidiaries by dividend or loan. The separate financial statements of the
subsidiary guarantors are not included herein because (i) the subsidiary
guarantors are all of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company; (ii)
the subsidiary guarantors have fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally
guaranteed the Senior Subordinated Notes; and (iii) the aggregate assets,
liabilities, earnings and equity of the subsidiary guarantors is substantially
equivalent to the assets, liabilities, earnings and equity of the Company on a
consolidated basis. As a result, the presentation of separate financial
statements and other disclosures concerning the subsidiary guarantors is not
deemed material.
8
USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates and
assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Estimates
are primarily used in the Company's revenue recognition of construction in
progress, fair value assumptions in analyzing goodwill impairment, allowance for
doubtful accounts receivable and self-insured claims liability.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective October 1, 2002, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of."
SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be
disposed of by sale and requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the
lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in
continuing operations or in discontinued operations. The adoption had no impact
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 establishes requirements for
recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity based with an objective of recording the initial liability at fair
value. The Company adopted SFAS No 146 effective January 1, 2003. The adoption
had no impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 148,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure," which
amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," by providing
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value
method of accounting for stock options and other stock-based employee
compensation. The Company adopted SFAS 148 on January 1, 2003. The adoption of
SFAS 148 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial position or
results of operations.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others",("Interpretation 45"), will significantly
change current practice in accounting for, and disclosure of, guarantees.
Interpretation 45 requires a guarantor to recognize, at inception of a
guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in
issuing the guarantee. Interpretation 45 also expands the disclosures required
to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under certain guarantees that it
has issued. Interpretation 45's disclosure requirements are effective for
financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15,
2002, while the initial recognition and initial measurement provisions are
applicable on prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December
31, 2002. The types of guarantees that the Company is party to include surety
bonds and letter of credit. The
9
Company adopted Interpretation 45 effective January 1, 2003. The Company does
not have a material impact on its results of operations or financial position.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued interpretation
No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", ("Interpretation 46").
The objective of Interpretation 46 is to improve the financial reporting by
companies involved with variable interest entities. Until now, one company
generally has included another entity in its consolidated financial statements
only if it controlled the entity through voting interest. Interpretation 46
changes that by requiring a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a
company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the
variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the
entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of
Interpretation 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after
January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the
first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of
disclosure requirements apply to all financial statements issued after January
31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. The
Company does not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material
impact on its results of operations or financial position as the Company does
not have activities with any entities that would fall under this interpretation
at this time.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
The Company accounts for its stock-based compensation arrangements using the
intrinsic value method in accordance with the provisions of Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25 - "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
("APB 25"), and related interpretations. Under APB 25, if the exercise price of
employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the
date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized. The Company's stock
options have all been granted with exercise prices at fair value, therefore no
compensation expense has been recognized under APB 25. During the six months
ended March 31, 2002, the Company recorded compensation expense of $1,422 in
connection with a restricted stock award (See Note 8).
The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share
assuming the compensation costs for IES' stock option and purchase plans had
been determined using the fair value method at the grant dates amortized on a
pro rata basis over the vesting period as required under SFAS No. 123 -

On February 27, 2003, the Company completed the acquisition of Riviera Electric
LLC accounted for as a purchase. The total consideration paid in this
transaction was approximately $2.7 million, comprised entirely of cash, net of
cash acquired. The fair value of the tangible net assets acquired exceeded the
total consideration paid. As a result, the long-term fixed assets of the
acquisition were reduced to zero. The accompanying balance sheets include
allocations of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on preliminary estimates of fair value and are subject to final
adjustment.
The unaudited pro forma data presented below assume that the acquisition had
occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.

3. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Effective October 1, 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," which establishes new accounting and reporting requirements
for goodwill
11
and other intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, all goodwill amortization
ceased effective October 1, 2001. Goodwill attributable to each of the Company's
reporting units is tested for impairment by comparing the fair value of each
reporting unit with its carrying value. Fair value is determined using
discounted cash flows, market multiples and market capitalization. Significant
estimates used in the methodologies include estimates of future cash flows,
future short-term and long-term growth rates, weighted average cost of capital
and estimates of market multiples for each of the reportable units. The Company
performs its impairment tests annually during the first fiscal quarter absent
any impairment indicators requiring more frequent impairment tests.
Based on the Company's impairment tests performed upon adoption of SFAS No. 142,
it recognized a charge of $283.3 million ($7.11 per share) in the first quarter
of 2002 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill of its reporting units to its
implied fair value. Under SFAS No. 142, the impairment adjustment recognized at
adoption of the new rules was reflected as a cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle in the statement of operations for the year ended September
30, 2002. The Company performed its annual impairment test on October 1, 2002
and determined that there was no impairment of recorded goodwill.
The carrying amount of goodwill attributable to each reportable operating unit
with goodwill balances and changes therein follows (in thousands):

4. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
In October 2001, the Company began implementation of a workforce reduction
program. The purpose of this program was to cut costs by reducing the number of
administrative staff both in the field and at the home office. The total number
of terminated employees was approximately 450. As a result of the program
implementation, the Company recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $5.6
million associated with 45 employees during the six months ended March 31, 2002.
The charges were based on the costs of the workforce reduction program and
include severance and other special termination benefits. At March 31, 2003,
approximately $1.8 million of these charges have not been paid and are included
in accrued expenses.

5. DEBT
Credit Facility
- ---------------
The Company is party to a $150.0 million revolving credit facility with a
syndicate of lending institutions to be used for working capital, capital
expenditure, acquisitions and other corporate purposes that matures May 22,
2004, as amended (the "Credit Facility"). Amounts borrowed under the Credit
Facility bear interest at an annual rate equal to either (a) the London
interbank offered rate (LIBOR) plus 1.75 percent to 3.50 percent, as determined
by the ratio of the Company's total funded debt to EBITDA (as defined in the
Credit Facility) or (b) the higher of (i) the bank's prime rate or (ii) the
Federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent plus an additional 0.25 percent to 2.00
percent, as determined by the ratio of the Company's total funded debt to
EBITDA. Commitment fees of 0.50 percent are assessed on any unused borrowing
capacity under the Credit Facility. The Company's existing and future
subsidiaries guarantee the repayment of all amounts due under the facility, and
the facility is secured by the capital stock of those subsidiaries and the
accounts receivable of the Company and those subsidiaries. Borrowings under the
Credit Facility are limited to 66 2/3% of outstanding receivables (as defined in
the agreement). The Credit Facility requires the consent of the lenders for
acquisitions exceeding a certain level of cash consideration, prohibits the
payment of cash dividends on the common stock, restricts the ability of the
Company to repurchase shares of common stock, restricts the ability of the
Company to incur other indebtedness and requires the Company to comply with
various affirmative and negative covenants including certain financial
covenants. Among other restrictions, the financial covenants include a minimum
net worth requirement, a maximum total consolidated funded debt to EBITDA ratio,
a maximum senior consolidated debt to EBITDA ratio and a minimum interest
coverage ratio. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of
its Credit Facility, as amended, at March 31, 2003. As of March 31, 2003, the
Company had no borrowings outstanding under its Credit Facility, letters of
credit outstanding under its Credit Facility of $24.7 million, $0.7 million of
other borrowings and available borrowing capacity under its Credit Facility of
$125.3 million.
Senior Subordinated Notes
- -------------------------
On January 25, 1999 and May 29, 2001, the Company completed offerings of $150.0
million and $125.0 million Senior Subordinated Notes, respectively. The offering
completed on May 29, 2001 yielded $117.0 million in proceeds to the Company, net
of a $4.2 million discount and $3.9 million in offering costs. The proceeds from
the May 29, 2001, offering were used primarily to repay amounts outstanding
under the Credit Facility. The Senior Subordinated Notes bear interest at 9 3/8%
and mature on February 1, 2009. The Company pays interest on the Senior
Subordinated Notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The Senior
Subordinated Notes are unsecured obligations and are subordinated to all
existing and future senior indebtedness. The Senior Subordinated Notes are
guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by all of the Company's subsidiaries.
Under the terms of the Senior Subordinated Notes, the Company is required to
comply with various affirmative and negative covenants including: (i)
restrictions on additional indebtedness, and (ii) restrictions on liens,
guarantees and dividends. During the year ended September 30, 2002, the Company
retired approximately $27.1 million of these Senior Subordinated Notes.

7. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company follows SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information." Certain information is disclosed, per SFAS No. 131,
based on the way management organizes financial information for making operating
decisions and assessing performance.
The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer
products and services to two distinct customer groups. They are managed
separately because each business requires different operating and marketing
strategies.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the
summary of significant accounting policies. The Company evaluates performance
based on income from operations of the respective business units prior to
unallocated home office expenses. Management allocates costs between segments
for selling, general and administrative expenses, goodwill impairment,
depreciation expense, capital expenditures and total assets. Those methods used
for allocation may change in the future.

8. 1999 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
In November 1999, the Board of Directors adopted the 1999 Incentive Compensation
Plan (the "1999 Plan"). The 1999 Plan authorizes the Compensation Committee of
the Board of Directors or the Board of Directors to grant employees of the
Company awards in the form of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted
stock or other stock based awards. The Company has up to 5.5 million shares of
Common Stock authorized for issuance under the 1999 Plan.
The Company granted a restricted stock award of 400,000 shares under its 1999
Plan. The market value of the stock on the date of grant for this award was $2.3
million. The award became fully vested and was fully amortized during the six
months ended March 31, 2002. Accordingly, the Company had no amortization
expense related to this award during the six months ended March 31, 2003.
9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Subsidiaries of the Company are involved in various legal proceedings that have
arisen in the ordinary course of business. While it is not possible to predict
the outcome of such proceedings with certainty and it is possible that the
results of legal proceedings may materially adversely affect us, in the opinion
of the Company, all such proceedings are either adequately covered by insurance
or, if not so covered, should not ultimately result in any liability which would
have a material adverse effect on the financial position, liquidity or results
of operations of the Company. The Company expenses routine legal costs related
to such proceedings as incurred.
The Company has committed to invest up to $5.0 million in EnerTech Capital
Partners II L.P. ("EnerTech"). EnerTech is a private equity firm specializing in
investment opportunities emerging from the deregulation and resulting
convergence of the energy, utility and telecommunications industries. Through
March 31, 2003, the Company had invested $2.3 million under its commitment to
EnerTech.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The following should be read in conjunction with the response to Part I, Item 1
of this Report. Any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Item have the
same meaning given to them in Part I, Item 1.
This report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed to be
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended. These statements are based on our expectations and involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from
those set forth in the statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are
not limited to, the inherent uncertainties related to estimating future results,
fluctuations in operating results because of downturns in levels of
construction, incorrect estimates used in entering into fixed price contracts,
difficulty in managing the operation and growth of existing and newly acquired
businesses, the high level of competition in the construction industry and the
effects of seasonality. The foregoing and other factors are discussed in our
filings with the SEC including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
September 30, 2002.
In response to the SEC's Release No. 33-8040, "Cautionary Advice Regarding
Disclosure About Critical Accounting Policies," we have identified the
accounting principles which we believe are most critical to our reported
financial status by considering accounting policies that involve the most
complex or subjective decisions or assessments. We identified our most critical
accounting policies to be those related to revenue recognition, the assessment
of goodwill impairment, our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable and the
recording of our self-insurance liabilities. These accounting policies, as well
as others, are described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2002 and at
relevant sections in this discussion and analysis.
We enter into contracts principally on the basis of competitive bids. We
frequently negotiate the final terms and prices of those contracts with the
customer. Although the terms of our contracts vary considerably, most are made
on either a fixed price or unit price basis in which we agree to do the work for
a fixed amount for the entire project (fixed price) or for units of work
performed (unit price). We also perform services on a cost-plus or time and
materials basis. We are generally able to achieve higher margins on fixed price
and unit price than on cost-plus contracts. We currently generate, and expect to
continue to generate, more than half of our revenues under fixed price
contracts. The cost of labor and materials, however, may vary from the costs we
originally estimated. Variations from estimated contract costs along with other
risks inherent in performing fixed price and unit price contracts may result in
actual revenue and gross profit for a project differing from those we originally
estimated and could result in losses on projects. Depending on the size of a
particular project, variations from estimated project costs could have a
significant impact on our operating results for any fiscal quarter or year. We
believe our exposure to losses on fixed price contracts is limited in aggregate
by the high volume and relatively short duration of the fixed price contracts we
undertake. Additionally, we derive a significant amount of our revenues from new
construction and from the southern part of the
18
United States. Downturns in new construction activity or in construction in the
southern United States could affect our results.
We complete most projects within one year, while we frequently provide service
and maintenance work under open-ended, unit price master service agreements
which are renewable annually. We recognize revenue on service and time and
material work when services are performed. Work performed under a construction
contract generally provides that the customers accept completion of progress to
date and compensate us for services rendered measured in terms of units
installed, hours expended or some other measure of progress. Revenues from
construction contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method in
accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement
of Position 81-1 "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain
Production-Type Contracts." Percentage-of-completion for construction contracts
is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred and accrued to date
for each contract to the estimated total costs for each contract at completion.
We generally consider contracts to be substantially complete upon departure from
the work site and acceptance by the customer. Contract costs include all direct
material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract
performance, such as indirect labor, supplies, tools, repairs and depreciation
costs. Changes in job performance, job conditions, estimated contract costs and
profitability and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs
and income and the effects of these revisions are recognized in the period in
which the revisions are determined. Provisions for total estimated losses on
uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
determined.
We evaluate goodwill for potential impairment in accordance with Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible
Assets." Included in this evaluation are certain assumptions and estimates to
determine the fair values of reporting units such as estimates of future cash
flows, discount rates, as well as assumptions and estimates related to the
valuation of other identified intangible assets. Changes in these assumptions
and estimates or significant changes to the market value of our common stock
could materially impact our results of operations or financial position.
We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable for unknown collection
issues in addition to reserves for specific accounts receivable where collection
is considered doubtful. Inherent in the assessment of the allowance for doubtful
accounts receivable are certain judgments and estimates including, among others,
our customers' access to capital, our customers' willingness to pay, general
economic conditions and the ongoing relationships with our customers.
We are self-insured for workers' compensation, auto liability, general liability
and employee-related health care claims, subject to large deductibles. Losses up
to the deductible amounts are accrued based upon our estimates of the liability
for claims incurred and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. The
accruals are derived from known facts, historical trends and industry averages
utilizing the assistance of an actuary to determine the best estimate of the
ultimate expected loss. We believe such accruals to be adequate. However,
insurance liabilities are difficult to assess and estimate due to unknown
factors, including the severity of an injury, the determination of our liability
in proportion to other parties, the number of incidents not reported and the
effectiveness of our safety program. Therefore, if actual experience differs
from
19
than the assumptions used in the actuarial valuation, adjustments to the reserve
may be required and would be recorded in the period that the experience becomes
known.

months ended March 31, 2002, to $691.7 million for the six months ended March
31, 2003. This decrease in revenues is primarily the result of $26.5 million of
lost revenues on divested or closed companies that were included in revenues for
the six months ended March 31, 2002, but not during the six months ended March
31, 2003. This decrease in revenues is additionally impacted by an economic
slowdown that began in 2001. This slowdown has led to increased bidding activity
across the country for available work during the six months ended March 31,
2003. Lastly, revenues were impacted by a decrease in revenues from
communications work and a decrease of non-residential revenues in the Midwest.

Commercial and industrial revenues decreased $44.6 million, or 7%, from $601.0
million for the six months ended March 31, 2002, to $556.4 million for the six
months ended March 31, 2003. This decrease in revenues is primarily the result
of $26.5 million of lost revenues on divested or closed companies that were
included in revenues for the six months ended March 31, 2002, but not during the
six months ended March 31, 2003. This decrease in revenues is additionally
impacted by increased bidding activity across the country for available work
during the six months ended March 31, 2003.
Residential revenues increased $4.6 million, or 4%, from $130.7 million for the
six months ended March 31, 2002, to $135.3 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2003, primarily as a result of increased awards of construction
contracts in markets we serve.

profit margin as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of increased
bidding activity for available work and lower margins on work in the
communications market.
Residential gross profit increased $1.0 million, or 4%, from $28.2 million for
the six months ended March 31, 2002, to $29.2 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2003. Residential gross profit margin as a percentage of revenues
remained the same at 22% for the six months ended March 31, 2002 and the six
months ended March 31, 2003.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $17.1 million, or 18%,
from $93.2 million for the six months ended March 31, 2002, to $76.1 million for
the six months ended March 31, 2003. Selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased 1% from 12% for the six months
ended March 31, 2002 to 11% for the six months ended March 31, 2003. This
decrease results from a company wide effort focused on reduction
21
of costs. This effort included a significant reduction of certain administrative
field and home office personnel expenses during the six months ended March 31,
2002.
RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
In October 2001, we began implementation of a workforce reduction program. The
purpose of this program was to reduce the number of administrative staff both in
the field and in the home office. As a result of the program implementation, we
recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $5.6 million during the six months
ended March 31, 2002. The charges were based on the cost of the workforce
reduction program, including severance and other special termination benefits.
At March 31, 2003, approximately $1.8 million of these charges have not been
paid and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
Income from operations increased $11.2 million, or 85%, from $13.2 million for
the six months ended March 31, 2002, to $24.4 million for the six months ended
March 31, 2003. This increase in income from operations was primarily attributed
to decreased selling, general and administrative expenses year over year and
restructuring charges of $5.6 million incurred during the six months ended March
31, 2002, offset by decreased revenues year over year and decreased margins
earned on those revenues.
NET INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE
Interest and other expense, net decreased from $13.7 million for the six months
ended March 31, 2002, to $12.7 million for the six months ended March 31, 2003,
primarily as a result of decreased interest expense attributable to decreased
average borrowings over the period.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
During the six months ended March 31, 2003, we recorded a tax provision of
38.5%. We recorded a tax benefit of $0.8 million for the six months ended March
31, 2002. This benefit is the result of a loss before income taxes recorded
during the six months ended March 31, 2002 and includes the impact of the
projected utilization of certain net operating loss carryforwards.
CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
In October 2001, we adopted SFAS No. 142,"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,"
which establishes new accounting and reporting requirements for goodwill and
other intangible assets. Under SFAS No. 142, all goodwill amortization ceased
effective October 1, 2001. Additionally, under SFAS No. 142, the impairment
adjustment recognized at adoption of the new rules was reflected as a cumulative
effect of change in accounting principle in the statement of operations for the
year ended September 30, 2002. We recognized a charge of $283.3 million ($7.11
per share) in the first quarter of 2002 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill
of its reporting units to its implied fair value. The Company performed its
annual impairment test on October 1, 2002 and determined that there was no
impairment of recorded goodwill.

Total revenues decreased $13.4 million, or 4%, from $356.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2002, to $343.1 million for the three months ended March
31, 2003. This decrease in revenues is primarily the result of $12.2 million of
lost revenues on divested or closed companies that were included in revenues for
the three months ended March 31, 2002, but not during the three months ended
March 31, 2003. This decrease in revenues is additionally impacted by an
economic slowdown that began in 2001. This slowdown has led to increased bidding
activity across the country for available work during the three months ended
March 31, 2003. Lastly, revenues were impacted by a decrease in revenues from
communications work and a decrease of non-residential revenues in the Midwest.
Commercial and industrial revenues decreased $8.2 million, or 3%, from $292.9
million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $284.7 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2003. This decrease in revenues is primarily the
result of $12.2 million of lost revenues on divested or closed companies that
were included in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2002, but not
during the three months ended March 31, 2003. This decrease in revenues is
additionally impacted by increased bidding activity across the country for
available work during the three months ended March 31, 2003.

Residential revenues decreased $5.2 million, or 8%, from $63.6 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2002, to $58.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2003, primarily as a result of decreased multi-family construction
activity in the Southeast.

Gross profit decreased $5.6 million, or 10%, from $54.7 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2002, to $49.1 million for the three months ended March
31, 2003. Gross profit margin as a percentage of revenues decreased from 15% for
the three months ended March 31, 2002, to 14% for the three months ended March
31, 2003. This decrease in gross profit margin as a percentage of revenues was
primarily the result of increased bidding activity for available work and lower
margins on work across our entire market.
Commercial and industrial gross profit decreased $3.8 million, or 9%, from $40.7
million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $36.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2003. Commercial and industrial gross profit margin
as a percentage of revenues decreased from 14% for the three months ended March
31, 2002, to 13% for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This decrease in
gross profit margin as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of
increased bidding activity for available work and lower margins on work in the
communications market.
Residential gross profit decreased $1.8 million, or 13%, from $14.0 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $12.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2003. Residential gross profit margin as a percentage of
revenues decreased from 22% for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to 21%
for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This decrease in gross profit margin
as a percentage of revenues was primarily the result of increased bidding
activity for available work, decreased multi-family construction activity in the
Southeast and lower margins on work in the residential market.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $5.8 million, or 13%,
from $43.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2002, to $37.5 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2003. Selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased 1% from 12% for the three months
ended March 31, 2002 to 11% for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This
decrease results from a company wide effort focused on reduction of costs and
lower administrative field and home office personnel expenses from a reduction
in headcount during the three months ended March 31, 2002 as compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2003.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
In October 2001, we began implementation of a workforce reduction program. The
purpose of this program was to reduce the number of administrative staff both in
the field and in the home office. As a result of the program implementation, we
recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge of $1.6 million during the three months
ended March 31, 2002. The charge was based on the cost of the workforce
reduction program, including severance and other special termination benefits.
At March 31, 2003, approximately $1.8 million of these charges have not been
paid and are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses.
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
Income from operations increased $1.8 million, or 18%, from $9.8 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2002, to $11.6 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2003. This increase in income from operations was primarily attributed
to decreased selling, general and administrative expenses year over year and a
restructuring charge of $1.6 million incurred during the three months ended
March 31, 2002, offset by decreased revenues year over year and decreased
margins earned on those revenues.
NET INTEREST AND OTHER EXPENSE
Interest and other expense, net decreased from $6.9 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2002, to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003,
primarily as a result of decreased interest expense attributable to decreased
average borrowings over the period.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
During the three months ended March 31, 2003, we recorded a tax provision of
38.5%. We recorded a tax provision of 28.1% for the three months ended March 31,
2002. The lower effective tax rate in the prior period was attributable to the
projected utilization of certain net operating loss carryforwards during the
three months ended March 31, 2002.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As of March 31, 2003, we had cash and cash equivalents of $26.1 million, working
capital of $255.0 million, no outstanding borrowings under our credit facility,
$24.7 million of letters of credit outstanding, and available capacity under our
credit facility of $125.3 million. The amount outstanding under our senior
subordinated notes was $247.9 million. All debt obligations are on our balance
sheet.
During the six months ended March 31, 2003, we generated $18.8 million of net
cash from operating activities. This net cash provided by operating activities
was comprised of net income of $7.2 million, increased by $8.0 million of
non-cash charges related primarily to depreciation expense and provision for
allowance for doubtful accounts, and further increased by changes in working
capital. Working capital changes consisted of a $10.1 million decrease in
accounts receivable due to the timing of collections, offset by a $8.3 million
decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses as a result of the timing of
payments made. Working capital changes also included a $6.0 million decrease in
billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
25
uncompleted projects and a $1.3 million decrease in costs and estimated earnings
in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, with the balance of the change
due to other working capital changes. Net cash used in investing activities was
$6.0 million, consisting primarily of $5.5 million used for capital expenditures
and $2.7 million used in the acquisition of a business, net of cash acquired;
offset by $1.1 million received from divestitures and $1.5 million in proceeds
from the sale of fixed assets. Net cash used in financing activities was $19.4
million, resulting primarily from $16.0 million in repayments of debt and
repurchases of the senior subordinated notes, as well as $3.4 million used in
the acquisition of treasury stock.
We are party to a $150.0 million revolving credit facility with a syndicate of
lending institutions to be used for working capital, capital expenditure,
acquisitions and other corporate purposes that matures May 22, 2004, as amended.
Amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear interest at an annual rate equal
to either (a) the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR) plus 1.75 percent to
3.50 percent, as determined by the ratio of our total funded debt to EBITDA (as
defined in the credit facility) or (b) the higher of (i) the bank's prime rate
or (ii) the Federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent plus an additional 0.25 percent
to 2.00 percent, as determined by the ratio of our total funded debt to EBITDA.
Commitment fees of 0.50 percent are assessed on any unused borrowing capacity
under the credit facility. Our existing and future subsidiaries guarantee the
repayment of all amounts due under the facility, and the facility is secured by
the capital stock of those subsidiaries and the accounts receivable of the
company and those subsidiaries. Borrowings under the credit facility are limited
to 66 2/3% of outstanding receivables (as defined in the agreement). The credit
facility requires the consent of the lenders for acquisitions exceeding a
certain level of cash consideration, prohibits the payment of cash dividends on
the common stock, restricts our ability to repurchase shares of common stock,
restricts our ability to incur other indebtedness and requires us to comply with
various affirmative and negative covenants including certain financial
covenants. Among other restrictions, the financial covenants include a minimum
net worth requirement, a maximum total consolidated funded debt to EBITDA ratio,
a maximum senior consolidated debt to EBITDA ratio and a minimum interest
coverage ratio. We were in compliance with the financial covenants of our credit
facility, as amended, at March 31, 2003. As of April 29, 2003, we had no
outstanding borrowings on our credit facility.
On January 25, 1999 and May 29, 2001, we completed our offerings of $150.0
million and $125.0 million senior subordinated notes, respectively. The offering
completed on May 29, 2001 yielded $117.0 million in proceeds, net of a $4.2
million discount and $3.9 million in offering costs. The proceeds from the May
29, 2001 offering were used primarily to repay amounts outstanding under our
credit facility. The notes bear interest at 9 3/8% and will mature on February
1, 2009. We pay interest on the notes on February 1 and August 1 of each year.
The notes are unsecured senior subordinated obligations and are subordinated to
all of our existing and future senior indebtedness. The notes are guaranteed on
a senior subordinated basis by all of our subsidiaries. Under the terms of the
notes, we are required to comply with various affirmative and negative covenants
including (1) restrictions on additional indebtedness, and (2) restrictions on
liens, guarantees and dividends. During the year ended September 30, 2002, we
retired approximately $27.1 million of these senior subordinated notes. At March
31, 2003, we had $247.9 million in outstanding senior subordinated notes.
Effective October 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets," which establishes new accounting and reporting requirements
for goodwill and other intangible
26
assets. Under SFAS No. 142, all goodwill amortization ceased effective October
1, 2001. Goodwill attributable to each of our reporting units is tested for
impairment by comparing the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying
value. Fair value is determined using discounted cash flows, market multiples
and market capitalization. Significant estimates used in the methodologies
include estimates of future cash flows, future short-term and long-term growth
rates, weighted average cost of capital and estimates of market multiples for
each of the reportable units. We will perform our impairment tests annually
during the first fiscal quarter absent any impairment indicators requiring more
frequent impairment tests.
Based on our impairment tests performed upon adoption of SFAS No. 142, we
recognized a charge of $283.3 million ($7.10 per share) in the first quarter of
2002 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill of our reporting units to its
implied fair value. Under SFAS No. 142, the impairment adjustment recognized at
adoption of the new rules was reflected as a cumulative effect of change in
accounting principle in the statement of operations for the year ended September
30, 2002. We performed our annual impairment test on October 1, 2002 and
determined that there was no impairment of recorded goodwill.
We utilized approximately $2.7 million cash, net of cash acquired to purchase
Riviera Electric LLC in Denver, Colorado on February 27, 2003.
All of our operating income and cash flows are generated by our wholly owned
subsidiaries, which are the subsidiary guarantors of our outstanding senior
subordinated notes. The separate financial statements of the subsidiary
guarantors are not included herein because (i) the subsidiary guarantors are all
of the direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company; (ii) the subsidiary
guarantors have fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally guaranteed the
senior subordinated notes; (iii) the aggregate assets, liabilities, earnings and
equity of the subsidiary guarantors is substantially equivalent to the assets,
liabilities, earnings and equity of the Company on a consolidated basis; and
(iv) the presentation of separate financial statements and other disclosures
concerning the subsidiary guarantors is not deemed material.
Other Commitments. As is common in our industry, we have entered into certain
off balance sheet arrangements that expose us to increased risk. Our significant
off balance sheet transactions include liabilities associated with noncancelable
operating leases, letter of credit obligations and surety guarantees.
We enter into noncancelable operating leases for many of our vehicle and
equipment needs. These leases allow us to retain our cash when we do not own the
vehicles or equipment and we pay a monthly lease rental fee. At the end of the
lease, we have no further obligation to the lessor. We may determine to cancel
or terminate a lease before the end of its term. Typically we are liable to the
lessor for various lease cancellation or termination costs and the difference
between the then fair market value of the leased asset and the implied book
value of the leased asset as calculated in accordance with the lease agreement.
Some of our customers require us to post letters of credit as a means of
guaranteeing performance under our contracts and ensuring payment by us to
subcontractors and vendors. If our customer has reasonable cause to effect
payment under a letter of credit, we would be required to reimburse our creditor
for the letter of credit. Depending on the circumstances surrounding a
reimbursement to our creditor, we may have a charge to earnings in that period.
To date we have not had a situation where a customer has had reasonable cause to
effect payment under a letter of credit. At March 31, 2003, $3.6 million of our
outstanding letters of credit were to collateralize our customers.
Some of the underwriters of our casualty insurance program require us to post
letters of credit as collateral. This is common in the insurance industry. To
date we have not had a situation where an underwriter has had reasonable cause
to effect payment under a letter of credit. At March 31, 2003, $21.1 million of
our outstanding letters of credit were to collateralize our insurance program.
27
Many of our customers require us to post performance and payment bonds issued by
a surety. Those bonds guarantee the customer that we will perform under the
terms of a contract and that we will pay subcontractors and vendors. In the
event that we fail to perform under a contract or pay subcontractors and
vendors, the customer may demand the surety to pay or perform under our bond.
Our relationship with our surety is such that we will indemnify the surety for
any expenses it incurs in connection with any of the bonds it issues on our
behalf. To date, we have not incurred significant expenses to indemnify our
surety for expenses it incurred on our behalf.
We have committed to invest up to $5.0 million in EnerTech Capital Partners II,
L.P. ("EnerTech"). EnerTech is a private equity firm specializing in investment
opportunities emerging from deregulation and resulting convergence of the
energy, utility and telecommunications industries. Through March 31, 2003, we
had invested $2.3 million under our commitment to EnerTech.

Outlook. The following statements are based on current expectations. These
statements are forward-looking and actual results may differ materially.
Economic conditions across the country are challenging. We continue to focus on
collecting receivables and reducing days sales outstanding. To improve our
position for continued success, we continue to take steps to reduce costs. We
have made significant cuts in administrative overhead at the home office and in
the field. Although we have seen signs of improvement in our quarter ended March
31, 2003, the economic outlook for the remainder of fiscal 2003 is still
somewhat uncertain. We expect earnings per share in the third quarter of fiscal
2003 to range between $0.14 and $0.20 per share. For the year ended September
30, 2003, we expect earnings to range between $0.53 and $0.60 per share.
28
We expect to generate cash flow from operations. Our cash flows from operations
tend to track with the seasonality of our business and historically have
improved in the latter part of our fiscal year. We anticipate that our cash flow
from operations will provide sufficient cash to enable us to meet our working
capital needs, debt service requirements and planned capital expenditures for
property and equipment through the next twelve months. Our ability to generate
cash flow from operations is dependent on many factors, including demand for our
products and services, the availability of work at margins acceptable to us and
the ultimate collectibility of our receivables.
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS
Our results of operations, particularly from residential construction, are
seasonal, depending on weather trends, with typically higher revenues generated
during the spring and summer and lower revenues during the fall and winter. The
commercial and industrial aspect of our business is less subject to seasonal
trends, as this work generally is performed inside structures protected from the
weather. Our service business is generally not affected by seasonality. In
addition, the construction industry has historically been highly cyclical. Our
volume of business may be adversely affected by declines in construction
projects resulting from adverse regional or national economic conditions.
Quarterly results may also be materially affected by gross margins for both bid
and negotiated projects, the timing of new construction projects and any
acquisitions. Accordingly, operating results for any fiscal period are not
necessarily indicative of results that may be achieved for any subsequent fiscal
period.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective October 1, 2002, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of
Long-Lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 supercedes SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of."
SFAS No. 144 establishes a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be
disposed of by sale and requires that those long-lived assets be measured at the
lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell, whether reported in
continuing operations or in discontinued operations. The adoption had no impact
on our financial position or results of operations.
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 establishes requirements for
recognition of a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal
activity based with an objective of recording the initial liability at fair
value. We adopted SFAS No 146 effective January 1, 2003. The adoption had no
impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 148,
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure," which
amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," by providing
alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value
method of accounting for stock options and other stock-based employee
compensation. We adopted SFAS 148 on January 1, 2003. The
29
adoption of SFAS 148 did not have a material impact on our financial position or
results of operations.
Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 45, "Guarantor's
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, including indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others", ("Interpretation 45"), will significantly
change current practice in accounting for, and disclosure of, guarantees.
Interpretation 45 requires a guarantor to recognize, at inception of a
guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken in
issuing the guarantee. Interpretation 45 also expands the disclosures required
to be made by a guarantor about its obligations under certain guarantees that it
has issued. Interpretation 45's disclosure requirements are effective for
financial statements of interim or annual periods ending after December 15,
2002, while the initial recognition and initial measurement provisions are
applicable on prospective basis to guarantees issued or modified after December
31, 2002. The types of guarantees that we are party to include surety bonds and
letter of credit. We adopted Interpretation 45 effective January 1, 2003, which
did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial
position.
In January 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued interpretation
No. 46, "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities", ("Interpretation 46").
The objective of Interpretation 46 is to improve the financial reporting by
companies involved with variable interest entities. Until now, one company
generally has included another entity in its consolidated financial statements
only if it controlled the entity through voting interest. Interpretation 46
changes that by requiring a variable interest entity to be consolidated by a
company if that company is subject to a majority of the risk of loss from the
variable interest entity's activities or entitled to receive a majority of the
entity's residual returns or both. The consolidation requirements of
Interpretation 46 apply immediately to variable interest entities created after
January 31, 2003. The consolidation requirements apply to older entities in the
first fiscal year or interim period beginning after June 15, 2003. Certain of
disclosure requirements apply to all financial statements issued after January
31, 2003, regardless of when the variable interest entity was established. We do
not believe the adoption of this statement will have a material impact on our
results of operations or financial position as we do not have activities with
any entities that would fall under this interpretation at this time.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Management is actively involved in monitoring exposure to market risk and
continues to develop and utilize appropriate risk management techniques. We are
not exposed to any significant market risks from commodity price risk or foreign
currency exchange risk. Our exposure to significant market risks includes
outstanding borrowings under our floating rate credit facility. Management does
not use derivative financial instruments for trading purposes or to speculate on
changes in interest rates or commodity prices.
As a result, our exposure to changes in interest rates results from our
short-term and long-term debt with both fixed and floating interest rates. The
following table presents principal or notional amounts (stated in thousands) and
related interest rates by year of maturity for our debt obligations and their
indicated fair market value at March 31, 2003:
