DEFINITIONS
In this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the words IES, the Company, we, our, ours, and
us refer to Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. and, except as otherwise specified herein, to
our subsidiaries.
DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed forward-looking
statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, all of which are based upon various estimates and assumptions that
the Company believes to be reasonable as of the date hereof. These statements involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those set forth in such
statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:
|
|
fluctuations in operating activity due to downturns in levels of construction, seasonality
and differing regional economic conditions; |
|
|
competition in the construction industry, both from third parties and former employees,
which could result in the loss of one or more customers or lead to lower margins on new
contracts; |
|
|
a general reduction in the demand for our services; |
|
|
a change in the mix of our customers, contracts and business; |
|
|
our ability to successfully manage construction projects; |
|
|
possibility of errors when estimating revenue and progress to date on
percentage-of-completion contracts; |
|
|
inaccurate estimates used when entering into fixed-priced contracts; |
|
|
challenges integrating new types of work or new processes into our divisions; |
|
|
the cost and availability of qualified labor, especially electricians and construction
supervisors; |
|
|
accidents resulting from the physical hazards associated with our work and the potential
for vehicle accidents; |
|
|
success in transferring, renewing and obtaining electrical and construction licenses; |
|
|
our ability to pass along increases in the cost of commodities used in our business, in
particular, copper, aluminum, steel, fuel and certain plastics; |
|
|
potential supply chain disruptions due to credit or liquidity problems faced by our
suppliers; |
|
|
loss of key personnel and effective transition of new management; |
|
|
warranty losses or other latent defect claims in excess of our existing reserves and
accruals; |
|
|
warranty losses or other unexpected liabilities stemming from former divisions which we
have sold or closed; |
|
|
growth in latent defect litigation in states where we provide residential electrical work
for home builders not otherwise covered by insurance; |
|
|
limitations on the availability of sufficient credit or cash flow to fund our working
capital needs; |
|
|
difficulty in fulfilling the covenant terms of our credit facilities; |
|
|
increased cost of surety bonds affecting margins on work and the potential for our surety
providers to refuse bonding at their discretion; |
3
|
|
increases in bad debt expense and days sales outstanding due to liquidity problems faced by
our customers; |
|
|
changes in the assumptions made regarding future events used to value our stock options and
performance-based stock awards; |
|
|
the recognition of potential goodwill, fixed asset and other investment impairments; |
|
|
uncertainties inherent in estimating future operating results, including revenues,
operating income or cash flow; |
|
|
disagreements with taxing authorities with regard to tax positions we have adopted; |
|
|
the recognition of tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions; |
|
|
complications associated with the incorporation of new accounting, control and operating
procedures; |
|
|
the financial impact of new or proposed accounting regulations; |
|
|
the ability of our controlling shareholder to take action not aligned with other
shareholders; |
|
|
the possibility that certain of our net operating losses may be restricted or reduced in a
change in ownership; |
|
|
credit and capital market conditions, including changes in interest rates that affect the
cost of construction financing and mortgages, and the inability for some of our customers to
retain sufficient financing which could lead to project delays or cancellations; and |
|
|
the sale or disposition of the shares of our common stock held by our majority shareholder,
which, under certain circumstances, would trigger change of control provisions in contracts
such as employment agreements, supply agreements, and financing and surety arrangements. |
You should understand that the foregoing, as well as other risk factors discussed in our annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009, could cause future outcomes to differ
materially from those experienced previously or from those expressed in this quarterly report and
our aforementioned annual report on Form 10-K. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or
revise information concerning our restructuring efforts, borrowing availability, cash position or
any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that may arise after the date of
this report. Forward-looking statements are provided in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q pursuant
to the safe harbor established under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and
should be evaluated in the context of the estimates, assumptions, uncertainties, and risks
described herein.

INTEGRATED ELECTRICAL SERVICES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2010
(UNAUDITED)
1. BUSINESS
Integrated Electrical Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was founded in June 1997 to establish
a leading national provider of electrical services, focusing primarily on the commercial,
industrial, residential, low voltage and service and maintenance markets. We provide a broad range
of services, including designing, building, maintaining and servicing electrical, data
communications and utilities systems for commercial, industrial and residential customers. The
words IES, the Company, we, our, and us refer to Integrated Electrical Services, Inc.
and, except as otherwise specified herein, to our wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Our electrical contracting services include design of electrical systems within a building or
complex, procurement and installation of wiring and connection to power sources, end-use equipment
and fixtures, as well as contract maintenance. We service commercial, industrial and residential
markets and have a diverse customer base, including: general contractors; property managers and
developers; corporations; government agencies; municipalities; and homeowners. We focus on projects
that require special expertise, such as design-and-build projects that utilize the capabilities of
our in-house experts, or projects which require specific market expertise, such as hospitals or
power generation facilities. We also focus on service, maintenance and certain renovation and
upgrade work, which tends to be either recurring or have lower sensitivity to economic cycles, or
both. We provide services for a variety of projects, including: high-rise residential and office
buildings, power plants, manufacturing facilities, data centers, chemical plants, refineries, wind
farms, solar facilities, municipal infrastructure and health care facilities and residential
developments, including both single-family housing and multi-family apartment complexes. We also
offer low voltage contracting services as a complement to our electrical contracting business. Our
low voltage services include design and installation of structured cabling for corporations,
universities, data centers and switching stations for data communications companies as well as the
installation of fire and security alarm systems. Our utility services consist of overhead and
underground installation and maintenance of electrical and other utilities transmission and
distribution networks, installation and splicing of high-voltage transmission and distribution
lines, substation construction and substation and right-of-way maintenance. Our maintenance
services generally provide recurring revenues that are typically less affected by levels of
construction activity.
CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER
At June 30, 2010, Tontine Capital Partners, L.P. together with its affiliates (Tontine), was the
controlling shareholder of the Companys common stock. Accordingly, Tontine has the ability to
exercise significant control of our affairs, including the election of directors and any action
requiring the approval of shareholders, including the approval of any potential merger or sale of
all or substantially all assets or divisions of the Company, or the Company itself. In its most
recent Schedule 13D, Tontine stated that it has no current plans to make any material change in the
Companys business or corporate structure. For a more complete discussion on our relationship with
Tontine, please refer to Note 11, Controlling Shareholder to these Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements.
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management,
all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position as of, and the results of
operations for, the periods presented. All adjustments are considered to be normal and recurring
unless otherwise described herein. Interim period results are not necessarily indicative of results
of operations or cash flows for the full year. During interim periods, we follow the same
accounting policies disclosed in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30,
2009, with the exception of the adoption of the new Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
standard on business combinations and amended fair value disclosure requirements as described
below. Please refer to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our annual report on Form
10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009, when reviewing our interim financial results set forth
herein.
In December 2007, the FASB issued updated standards on business combinations and accounting and
reporting of non-controlling interests in consolidated financial statements. The changes require an
acquiring entity to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at
the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. The updated standards eliminate the step
acquisition model, change the recognition of contingent consideration from being recognized when it
is probable to being recognized at the time of acquisition, disallow the capitalization of
transaction costs, and change when restructuring charges related to acquisitions can be recognized.
The new standards became effective for us on October 1, 2009. The implementation of the updated
standards on business combinations did not effect the provision for the quarter ended June 30,
2010.
In January 2010, the FASB issued updated standards on fair value, which clarifies disclosure
requirements around fair value
9
measurement. This update requires additional disclosure surrounding the activity for assets and
liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, including transfers of assets and
liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy and the separate presentation
of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements of assets and liabilities within Level 3 of the fair
value hierarchy. In addition, the update requires enhanced disclosure of the valuation techniques
and inputs used in the fair value measurements within Level 2 and Level 3. The new disclosure
requirements became effective for us on January 1, 2010. As the update requires only enhanced
disclosures, its adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
In connection with the change in reportable segments, certain prior period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to the current year presentation of our segments with no effect on net
income (loss) or retained deficit. Specifically, the former Industrial segment has been combined
with the Commercial segment to form our Commercial & Industrial segment. For additional
information, please refer to Part 1. Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note 5,
Operating Segments of this report.
We have completed the wind down of our discontinued operations. All substantive assets have been
sold or transferred and liabilities have been retired. There is no longer any operating activity or
material outstanding balances. We have classified the remaining balances as continuing operations.
LONG-TERM RECEIVABLE
In March 2009, in connection with a construction project entering bankruptcy, we transferred
$4.0 million of trade accounts receivable to long-term receivable and initiated breach of contract
and mechanics lien foreclosure actions against the projects general contractor and owner,
respectively. At the same time, we reserved the costs in excess of billings of $0.3 million
associated with this receivable.
In March 2010, we reserved the remaining balance of $3.7 million. We will continue to monitor the
proceedings and evaluate any potential future collectability. For additional information, please
refer to Part 1. Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note 10, Commitments and
Contingencies Legal Matters of this report.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes
receivable, investments, accounts payable, a line of credit, notes payable issued to finance
insurance policies, and the Tontine Term Loan. We believe that the carrying value of financial
instruments, with the exception of the Tontine Term Loan in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets, approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature.
We estimate that the fair value of the Tontine Term Loan is $11.1 million based on comparable debt
instruments at June 30, 2010. For additional information, please refer to Part 1. Item 1. Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements Note 3, Debt and Liquidity The Tontine Capital Partners Term
Loan of this report.
USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America (GAAP) 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 our revenue recognition of construction in progress, fair value assumptions
in analyzing goodwill, investments, intangible assets and long-lived asset impairments and
adjustments, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, stock-based compensation, reserves for
legal matters, assumptions regarding estimated costs to exit certain divisions, realizability of
deferred tax assets, and self-insured claims liabilities and related reserves.
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS
Results of operations from our Residential construction segment are more seasonal, depending on
weather trends, with typically higher revenues generated during spring and summer and lower
revenues during fall and winter. The Commercial & Industrial segment of our business is less
subject to seasonal trends, as this work generally is performed inside structures protected from
the weather. Our service and maintenance 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 the timing of
new construction projects. Accordingly, operating results for any fiscal period are not necessarily
indicative of results that may be achieved for any subsequent fiscal period.

2. STRATEGIC ACTIONS
In the first quarter of our 2009 fiscal year, we began a new restructuring program (the 2009
Restructuring Plan) that was designed to consolidate operations within our three segments. The
2009 Restructuring Plan was the next level of our business optimization strategy. Our plan was to
streamline local project and support operations, which were managed through regional operating
centers, and to capitalize on the investments we had made over the past year to further leverage
our resources. We accelerated our trade name amortization during the 2009 fiscal year recording a
charge of $1.6 million that has been identified within the Restructuring Charges caption in our
consolidated statements of operations.
During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, we incurred pre-tax
restructuring charges, including severance benefits and facility consolidations and closings, of
zero and $0.6 million associated with the 2009 Restructuring Plan. Costs incurred related to our
Commercial & Industrial segment were zero and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010
and 2009, respectively. Costs incurred related to our Residential segment were zero and
$0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Costs related to our
Corporate office were zero and $(0.1) for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, we incurred pre-tax
restructuring charges, including severance benefits and facility consolidations and closings, of
$0.8 million and $3.8 million associated with the 2009 Restructuring Plan. Costs incurred related
to our Commercial & Industrial segment were $0.7 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Costs incurred related to our Residential segment were zero
and $2.0 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Costs incurred
related to our Corporate office were $0.1 million and $0.7 million for the nine months ended June
30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
In addition, as a result of the continuing significant effects of the recession, during the third
quarter of fiscal year 2009, we implemented a more expansive cost reduction program, by further
reducing administrative personnel, primarily in the corporate office, and consolidating our
Commercial and Industrial administrative functions into one service center. As a result of the
expanded 2009 Restructuring Plan, we now manage and measure performance of our business in two
distinct operating segments: Commercial & Industrial and Residential. As part of this expanded 2009
Restructuring Plan, we do not expect to exceed $0.5 million in additional pre-tax restructuring
charges, including severance benefits and facility consolidations and closings over the remainder
of our current fiscal year.

For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred interest expense of $0.8 million and
$1.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we incurred interest
expense of $2.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
The Tontine Term Loan
On December 12, 2007, we entered into a $25.0 million senior subordinated loan agreement (the
Tontine Term Loan) with Tontine Capital Partners, L.P., a related party. The Tontine Term Loan
bears interest at 11.0% per annum and is due on May 15, 2013. Interest is payable quarterly in cash
or in-kind at our option. Any interest paid in-kind will bear interest at 11.0% in addition to the
loan principal. On April 30, 2010, we prepaid $15.0 million of principal on the Tontine Term Loan.
On May 1, 2010, Tontine assigned the Tontine Term Loan to TCP Overseas Master Fund II, L.P., (TCP
2). We may repay the Tontine Term Loan at any time prior to the maturity date at par, plus
accrued interest without penalty. The Tontine Term Loan is subordinated to our existing Revolving
Credit Facility (defined below) with Bank of America, N.A. The Tontine Term Loan is an unsecured
obligation of the Company and its subsidiary borrowers. The Tontine Term Loan contains no financial
covenants or restrictions on dividends or distributions to stockholders.
Insurance Financing Agreements
From time to time, we elect to finance our commercial insurance policy premiums over a term equal
to or less than the term of the policy (Insurance Financing Agreements). We previously referred
to these financing arrangements as the Camden Notes.
Insurance Financing Agreements consist of the following (in thousands):

On October 1, 2009, we financed an insurance policy in the initial principal amount of $0.5 million
with First Insurance Funding Corp. (First Insurance Funding), which matures on September 1, 2010.
Under the terms of this note, we are to make eleven equal monthly payments of $49,319 (including
principal and interest) beginning on November 1, 2009.
On December 15, 2009, we financed an insurance policy in the initial principal amount of $0.2
million with First Insurance Funding, which matures on November 1, 2010. Under the terms of this
note, we are to make ten equal monthly payments of $22,037 (including principal and interest)
beginning on January 1, 2010.
The Insurance Financing Agreements are collateralized by the gross unearned premiums on the
respective insurance policies plus any payments for losses claimed under the policies.
12
The Revolving Credit Facility
On May 12, 2006, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan and Security Agreement),
for a revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) with Bank of America, N.A. and
certain other lenders. On May 7, 2008, we renegotiated the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility
and entered into an amended agreement with the same financial institutions. The Loan and Security
Agreement, as amended, provided us with access to a $60.0 million Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may not exceed a borrowing base that is determined
monthly by our lenders based on available collateral, primarily certain accounts receivables and
inventory.
The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by our subsidiaries and secured by first priority liens
on substantially all of our subsidiaries existing and future acquired assets, exclusive of
collateral provided to our surety providers. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary
affirmative, negative and financial covenants. The Revolving Credit Facility also restricts us from
paying cash dividends and places limitations on our ability to repurchase our common stock.
On April 30, 2010, we renegotiated the terms of, and entered into an amendment to, the Loan and
Security Agreement without incurring termination charges. Under the terms of the amended Revolving
Credit Facility, the size of the facility remains at $60.0 million, and the maturity date has been
extended to May 12, 2012. In connection with the amendment, we incurred an amendment fee of $0.2
million, which will be amortized over 24 months.
Under the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility in effect as of June 30, 2010, interest for loans
and letter of credit fees is based on our Total Liquidity, which is calculated for any given period
as the sum of average daily availability for such period plus average daily unrestricted cash on
hand for such period as follows:

At June 30, 2010, we had $7.9 million available to us under the Revolving Credit Facility, based on
a borrowing base of $28.6 million, $20.7 million in outstanding letters of credit, and no
outstanding borrowings.
At June 30, 2010, our Total Liquidity was $40.3 million. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010,
we paid no interest for loans under the Revolving Credit Facility and a weighted average interest
rate, including fronting fees, of 3.5% for letters of credit. In addition, we are charged monthly
in arrears (1) an unused commitment fee of 0.5%, and (2) certain other fees and charges as
specified in the Loan and Security Agreement, as amended. Finally, the Revolving Credit Facility
would have been subject to termination charges of 0.25% of the total borrowing capacity if such
termination occurred on or after May 12, 2011 and $50,000 anytime thereafter.
As of June 30, 2010, we were subject to the financial covenant under the Revolving Credit Facility
requiring that we maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.0:1.0 at any time that
our aggregate amount of unrestricted cash on hand plus availability is less than $25.0 million and,
thereafter, until such time as our aggregate amount of unrestricted cash on hand plus availability
has been at least $25.0 million for a period of 60 consecutive days. As of June 30, 2010, our Total
Liquidity was in excess of $25.0 million. Had our Total Liquidity been less than $25.0 million at
June 30, 2010, we would not have met the 1.0:1.0 fixed charge coverage ratio test, had it been
applicable.
As of June 30, 2009, we were subject to the financial covenant under the Revolving Credit Facility,
requiring that we maintain the 1.0:1.0 fixed charge coverage ratio at any time that our aggregate
amount of unrestricted cash on hand plus availability is less than $50.0 million and, thereafter,
until such time as our aggregate amount of unrestricted cash on hand plus availability has been at
least $50.0 million for a period of 60 consecutive days. As of June 30, 2009, our Total Liquidity
was in excess of $50.0 million.
In the event that we are not able to meet the financial covenant of our amended Revolving Credit
Facility in the future and are unsuccessful in obtaining a waiver from our lenders, the Company
expects to have adequate cash on hand to fully collateralize our outstanding letters of credit and
to provide sufficient cash for ongoing operations.
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Our restricted shares granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan participate in any dividends
declared on our common stock.
13
Accordingly, the restricted shares are considered participating securities under the two-class
method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings for each class of common
stock and participating securities according to dividends declared or accumulated and participation
rights in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, net income is reduced by the amount
of dividends declared in the current period for each class of stock and by the contractual amounts
of dividends that must be paid for the current period. The remaining earnings are then allocated to
common stock and participating securities to the extent that each security may share in earnings as
if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. Diluted earnings per share is
calculated using the treasury stock and if converted methods for potential common stock. Basic
earnings per share is calculated as income (loss) available to common stockholders, divided by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. If the effect is dilutive,
participating securities are included in the computation of basic earnings per share. Our
participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to share in the losses in any given
period. As a result, these participating securities will not be allocated any losses in the periods
of net losses, but will be allocated income in the periods of net income using the two-class
method.
The tables that follow reconcile the components of the basic and diluted earnings per share for the
three months and nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands, except per share and per
share data):

5. OPERATING SEGMENTS
As a result of our 2009 Restructuring Plan, on October 1, 2009, the Company implemented
modifications to its system of reporting, resulting from changes to its internal organization,
which changed its reportable segments. These changes to the internal organization included the
realignment of our Industrial segment into our Commercial & Industrial segment. We now manage and
measure performance of our business in two distinct operating segments: Commercial & Industrial and
Residential. These segments are reflective of how the Companys Chief Operating Decision Maker
(CODM) reviews operating results for the purposes of
allocating resources and assessing performance. The Companys CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. Prior
period disclosures have been adjusted to reflect the change in reportable segments.
14
The Commercial & Industrial segment provides electrical and communications design, installation,
renovation, engineering and maintenance and replacement services in facilities such as office
buildings, high-rise apartments and condominiums, theaters, restaurants, hotels, hospitals and
critical-care facilities, school districts, light manufacturing and processing facilities, military
installations, airports, outside plants, network enterprises, switch network customers,
manufacturing and distribution centers, water treatment facilities, refineries, petrochemical and
power plants, and alternative energy facilities. In addition to these services, our Commercial &
Industrial segment also designs and assembles modular power distribution centers.
The Residential segment consists of electrical installation, replacement and renovation services in
single-family, condominium, townhouse and low-rise multifamily housing units.
We also have a Corporate office that provides general and administrative as well as support
services to our two operating segments.
The significant accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary
of significant accounting policies, set forth in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements
included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009. We evaluate
performance based on income from operations of the respective business units prior to the
allocation of Corporate office expenses.
As of October 1, 2009 we began allocating certain corporate selling, general and administrative
costs across our segments as we believe this more accurately reflects the costs associated with
operating each segment. We have reclassified our three months and nine months ended June 30, 2009
selling, general and administrative costs using the same methodology.
Segment information for continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended June 30,
2010 and 2009 is as follows (in thousands):

6. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
The 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the 2006 Plan) became effective on May 12, 2006. The
2006 Plan provides for grants of both stock options and common stock, including restricted stock
and performance-based restricted stock. We have approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock
authorized for issuance under the 2006 Plan.
Treasury Stock
On December 12, 2007, we entered into an amendment to our Loan and Security Agreement. The
amendment allowed us to implement a stock repurchase program for up to one million shares of our
common stock over the following 24 months. On December 12, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized
the repurchase of up to one million shares of our common stock. This share repurchase program was
authorized through December 2009. As of the programs termination on December 31, 2009, we
repurchased 886,360 shares of common stock at an average cost of $16.24 per share.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, 12,886 shares of common stock were issued from treasury
stock for a restricted stock grant.
16
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we repurchased 27,622 shares of common stock from our
employees to satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of restricted stock
issued under the 2006 Plan, and 38,000 unvested shares of restricted stock were forfeited by former
employees and returned to treasury stock.
Restricted Stock
We granted 12,886 shares of restricted stock to an employee during the nine months ended June 30,
2010. These restricted shares were granted at $5.82 per share. These shares will vest on December
15, 2010.
We granted 180,100 shares of restricted stock to our employees during the nine months ended June
30, 2009, of which 27,400 have been forfeited as of June 30, 2010. These restricted shares were
granted at prices ranging from $8.44 to $12.31 per share with a weighted average price of $8.60 per
share under various vesting terms.
During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized $0.1 million and $0.4 million,
respectively, in compensation expense related to these awards. During the nine months ended June
30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized $1.0 million and $1.3 million, respectively, in compensation
expense related to these awards. As of June 30, 2010, the unamortized compensation cost related to
outstanding unvested restricted stock was $0.4 million. We expect to recognize $0.1 million related
to these awards during the remaining three months of our 2010 fiscal year, and $0.3 million
thereafter.
All the restricted shares granted under the 2006 Plan (vested or unvested) participate in
dividends, if any, issued to common shareholders.
Phantom Stock Units
For the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized $13 thousand and $138
thousand, respectively, in compensation for Phantom Stock Units (PSUs) granted to the members of
the Board of Directors in May 2010 and March 2010. These PSUs will be paid via unrestricted stock
grants to each board member upon their departure.
Stock Options
Our determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an
option-pricing model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of
highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our
expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, the risk-free rate of return, and
actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. The expected life of stock options
is an input variable under the Black-Scholes option pricing model, but it is not considered under
the binomial option pricing model that we utilize.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we granted no stock options.
During the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized $14 thousand and $29 thousand,
respectively, in compensation expense related to these previously granted stock options. During the
nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, we recognized $0.1 million and $0.4 million,
respectively, in compensation expense related to these awards. As of June 30, 2010, the unamortized
compensation cost related to outstanding unvested stock options was $21 thousand. We expect to
recognize $5 thousand of equity based compensation expense related to these awards during the
remaining three months of our 2010 fiscal year, and $16 thousand thereafter.

We have recognized an impairment loss on the entire carrying value for all of these instruments,
excluding our convertible note receivable, based on our assessment of their fair market values in
the previous fiscal year.
Our convertible note receivable has a $1.1 million face value, with a 1% interest rate payable
in-kind with interest paid semi-annually on December 1 and June 1, and is due on June 1, 2016. We
accounted for our convertible note receivable as an available-for-sale security at fair value with
the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss),
a component of stockholders equity, net of tax, unless such loss was other than temporary and
related to credit losses, then the loss would be recorded to other expense.
On February 24, 2010, EPV filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. As a result of events
subsequent to this filing, we recorded an additional $50 thousand of impairment based on the amount
that we ultimately believe we will realize from this investment. At June 30, 2010, we believe the
carrying value of our convertible note receivable approximates fair market value. Our $0.1 million
investment is currently recorded as a component of Other Non-Current Assets in our consolidated
balance sheet.
Investment in EnerTech Capital Partners II L.P.
Our investment in EnerTech Capital Partners II L.P. (EnerTech) is approximately 2% of the overall
ownership in EnerTech at June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009. As such, we accounted for this
investment using the cost method of accounting.
In May 2010, we received a $0.3 million cash distribution from EnerTech. We recorded this
distribution as a reduction of our investment.
EnerTechs investment portfolio periodically results in unrealized losses reflecting a possible,
other-than temporary impairment of our investment. If facts arise that lead us to determine that
any unrealized losses are not temporary, we would write-down our investment in EnerTech through a
charge to other expense in the period of such determination. The carrying value of our investment
in EnerTech at June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 was $2.0 million and $2.5 million,
respectively, and is currently recorded as a component of Other Non-Current Assets in our
consolidated balance sheet. The following table presents the reconciliation of the carrying value
and unrealized gains (losses) to the fair value of the investment in EnerTech as of June 30, 2010
and September 30, 2009 (in thousands):

On December 31, 2009, EnerTechs general partner, with the consent of the funds investors,
extended the fund for an additional year through December 31, 2010. The fund will terminate on this
date unless extended by the funds valuation committee. The fund may be extended for another
one-year period through December 31, 2011 with the consent of the funds valuation committee.
Arbinet Corporation
On May 15, 2006, we received a distribution from the investment in EnerTech of 32,967 shares in
Arbinet Corporation (Arbinet), formerly Arbinet-thexchange Inc. The investment is an
available-for-sale marketable security and is currently recorded as a component of Other
Non-Current Assets in our consolidated balance sheet. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded to
other comprehensive income.
On June 11, 2010, Arbinet consummated a 1-for-4 reverse common stock split. As a result of this
transaction, we now hold 8,241 shares of Arbinet common stock.
The amount of unrealized holding losses included in other comprehensive income at June 30, 2010 and
September 30, 2009 is $82 thousand and $70 thousand, respectively. Both the carrying and market
value of the investment at June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2009 were $65 thousand and $78 thousand,
respectively.
8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Executive Savings Plan
Under the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan adopted on July 1, 2004 (the Executive Savings
Plan), certain employees are permitted to defer a portion (up to 75%) of their base salary and/or
bonus for a Plan Year. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may, in its sole
discretion, credit one or more participants with an employer deferral (contribution) in such amount
as the Committee may choose (Employer Contribution). The Employer Contribution, if any, may be a
fixed dollar amount, a fixed percentage of the participants compensation, base salary, or bonus,
or a matching amount with respect to all or part of the participants elective deferrals for such
plan year, and/or any combination of the foregoing as the Committee may choose.
On February 13, 2009, we suspended Company matching cash contributions to employees contributions
due to the significant impact the economic recession has had on the Companys financial
performance. The aggregate contributions by us to the Executive Savings Plan were zero for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value is considered the price to sell an asset, or transfer a liability, between market
participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements assume that the asset or liability is
(1) exchanged in an orderly manner, (2) the exchange is in the principal market for that asset or
liability, and (3) the market participants are independent, knowledgeable, able and willing to
transact an exchange.
Fair value accounting and reporting establishes a framework for measuring fair value by creating a
hierarchy for observable independent market inputs and unobservable market assumptions and expands
disclosures about fair value measurements. Considerable judgment is required to interpret the
market data used to develop fair value estimates. As such, the estimates presented herein are not
necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange. The use of
different market assumptions and/or estimation methods could have a material effect on the
estimated fair value.
Financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2010,
are summarized in the following table by the type of inputs applicable to the fair value
measurements (in thousands):

Below is a description of the inputs used to value the assets summarized in the preceding table:
Level 1 Inputs represent unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets exchanged in
active markets.
Level 2 Inputs include directly or indirectly observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs
such as quoted prices for similar assets exchanged in active or inactive markets; quoted prices for
identical assets exchanged in inactive markets; and other inputs that are considered in fair value
determinations of the assets.
Level 3 Inputs include unobservable inputs used in the measurement of assets. Management
is required to use its own assumptions regarding unobservable inputs because there is little, if
any, market activity in the assets or related observable inputs that can be corroborated at the
measurement date.
We estimated the fair value of our debt securities based on current available information
surrounding the private company in which we invested. In the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we
recognized a $50 thousand impairment to our debt securities as detailed in Part 1. Item 1.
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note 7, Securities and Equity Investments
Investment in EPV Solar. The fair value of the investments in debt securities was $100 thousand at
June 30, 2010 and $150 thousand at September 30, 2009.
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
Claims and litigation occur frequently in the construction business. There is an inherent risk of
claims and litigation associated with the number of people that work on construction sites and the
fleet of vehicles on the road everyday. Additionally, latent defect litigation is normal for
residential home builders in some parts of the country, and latent defect litigation is increasing
in certain states where we perform work. We proactively manage such claims and litigation risks
through safety programs, insurance programs, litigation management at the corporate and local
levels, and a network of attorneys and law firms throughout the country. Nevertheless, claims are
sometimes made and lawsuits filed for amounts in excess of their value or in excess of the amounts
for which they are eventually resolved.
Claims and litigation normally follow a predictable course of time to resolution. However, there
may be periods of time in which a disproportionate amount of our claims and litigation are
concluded in the same quarter or year. If multiple matters are resolved during a given period, then
the cumulative effect of these matters on our results of operations and financial condition for the
period may be disproportionally high. We believe that all current claims and litigation 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 our financial position, liquidity or
results of operations. We expense routine legal costs related to proceedings as they are incurred.
Centerpoint Project
We are a co-plaintiff in a breach of contract and mechanics lien foreclosure action in Maricopa
County, Arizona superior court. The defendants are Centerpoint Construction, LLC (Centerpoint
Construction) and Tempe Land Company, LLC (Tempe Land Company), the general contractor and
owner, respectively, of a condominium and retail development project in Tempe, Arizona. In
December 2008, Tempe Land Company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in the U.S.
Bankruptcy Court in Phoenix, Arizona. The principal amount of our claim is approximately
$4.0 million, exclusive of interest, attorneys fees and costs.
Our breach of contract claim for non-payment arises out of labor and services that we provided to
the project property pursuant to written subcontract agreements with Centerpoint Construction. We
do not have reason to believe that Centerpoint Construction has assets to satisfy any significant
part of the claim. Our claim against Tempe Land Company is based on Arizonas mechanics lien
statutes, which provide for security interests against real property for the value of services
provided to real property by a contractor, such as us. The possibility of collection by foreclosing
on the mechanics lien depends on two primary issues: (1) whether our, and the other mechanics
lien claimants, encumbrance against the project is superior to the project lenders deeds of trust
on the project, and (2) whether the project property, if sold at foreclosure, would raise
sufficient proceeds to pay the collective mechanics lien claims brought by us and the other
mechanics lien claimants.
20
In March 2009, following Tempe Land Company filing for bankruptcy, we transferred $4.0 million of
trade accounts receivable to long-term receivable. At the same time, we reserved the costs in
excess of billings of $0.3 million associated with this receivable.
In April 2010, the project property was sold at foreclosure to the project lender. In this sale,
the project lender acquired the project property subject only to superior encumbrances. The
priority of the mechanics lien claims over the project lenders deeds of trust will be determined
after legal briefing and oral argument scheduled for August 2010. If our and the other lien
claimants claims are determined to not have priority over the project lenders deeds of trust, we
will not be able to collect on our lien. If our and the other claimants lien claims are determined
to have priority over the lenders deeds of trust, it is estimated that net proceeds of
approximately $20 million from a subsequent foreclosure sale of the property would be required to
pay our and the other lien claimants claims in full. If our and the other lien claimants claims
have priority and the property is sold at foreclosure for less than the approximate $20 million
necessary to satisfy our and the other lien claims in full, then each lien claim will be paid pro
rata from the proceeds of the foreclosure sale.
As a result of the April 2010 foreclosure sale, we have determined that there is a reasonable
possibility, but not a probability, of collection of our claim and have written-off the remaining
$3.7 million long-term receivable. Despite this write-off, we continue to believe in the merit of,
and will vigorously pursue, our claims.
Ward Transformer Site
One of our subsidiaries has been identified as one of more than 200 potentially responsible parties
(PRPs) with respect to the clean-up of an electric transformer resale and reconditioning facility,
known as the Ward Transformer Site, located in Raleigh, North Carolina. The facility built,
repaired, reconditioned and sold electric transformers from approximately 1964 to 2005. We did not
own or operate the facility but a subsidiary that we acquired in July 1999 is believed to have sent
transformers to the facility during the 1990s. During the course of its operation, the facility
was contaminated by Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), which also have been found to have migrated
off the site.
Four PRPs have commenced clean-up of on-site contaminated soils under an Emergency Removal Action
pursuant to a settlement agreement and Administrative Order on Consent entered into between the
four PRPs and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in September 2005. We are not a party
to that settlement agreement or Order on Consent. In April 2009, two of these PRPs, Carolina Power
and Light Company and Consolidation Coal Company, filed suit against us and most of the other PRPs
in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina (Western Division) to
contribute to the cost of the clean-up. In addition to the on-site clean-up, the EPA has selected
approximately 50 PRPs to which it sent a Special Notice Letter in late 2008 to organize the
clean-up of soils off site and address contamination of groundwater and other miscellaneous
off-site issues. We were not a recipient of that letter.
In March 2010, the U.S. District Court in North Carolina issued its decision on motions to dismiss
filed by defendants, dismissing all pending claims against us, with prejudice. Subsequently, two
parties to the lawsuit filed a joint motion for reconsideration, which, on July 19, 2010, was
granted, permitting such parties to amend their pleadings to reassert claims against us. Based on
our investigation to date, there is evidence to support our defense that our subsidiary contributed
no PCB contamination to the site. In addition, we have tendered a demand for indemnification to the
former owner of our subsidiary that may have transacted business with the facility and are
exploring the existence and applicability of insurance policies that could mitigate potential
exposure. As of June 30, 2010, we have not recorded a reserve for this matter, as we believe the
likelihood of our responsibility for damages is not probable and a potential range of exposure is
not estimable.
Self-Insurance
We are subject to large deductibles on our property and casualty insurance policies. As a result,
many of our claims are effectively self-insured. Many claims against our insurance are in the form
of litigation. At June 30, 2010, we had $6.4 million accrued for self-insurance liabilities,
including $1.0 million for general liability coverage losses. We are also subject to construction
defect liabilities, primarily within our Residential segment. We believe the likely range of our
potential liability for construction defects is from $0.5 million to $1.0 million. As of June 30,
2010, we had reserved $0.5 million for these claims.
Surety
Many customers, particularly in connection with new construction, require us to post performance
and payment bonds issued by a surety. Those bonds provide a guarantee to the customer that we will
perform under the terms of our contract and that we will pay our subcontractors and vendors. If we
fail to perform under the terms of our contract or to pay subcontractors and vendors, the customer
may demand that the surety make payments or provide services under the bond. We must reimburse the
sureties for any expenses or outlays they incur on our behalf. To date, we have not been required
to make any reimbursements to our sureties for bond-related costs.
21
As is common in the surety industry, sureties issue bonds on a project-by-project basis and can
decline to issue bonds at any time. We believe that our relationships with our sureties will allow
us to provide surety bonds as they are required. However, current market conditions, as well as
changes in our sureties assessment of our operating and financial risk, could cause our sureties
to decline to issue bonds for our work. If our sureties decline to issue bonds for our work, our
alternatives would include posting other forms of collateral for project performance, such as
letters of credit or cash, seeking bonding capacity from other sureties, or engaging in more
projects that do not require surety bonds. In addition, if we are awarded a project for which a
surety bond is required but we are unable to obtain a surety bond, the result can be a claim for
damages by the customer for the costs of replacing us with another contractor.
As of June 30, 2010, we utilized a combination of cash and letters of credit totaling $10.1 million
to collateralize our obligations to our sureties, which was comprised of $3.5 million in letters of
credit and $6.6 million of cash and accumulated interest (as is included in Other Non-Current
Assets in our consolidated balance sheet). Posting letters of credit in favor of our sureties
reduces the borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2010, the
estimated cost to complete our bonded projects was approximately $117.9 million. On May 7, 2010 we
entered into a new surety agreement. We evaluate our bonding requirements on a regular basis,
including the terms offered by our sureties. We believe the bonding capacity presently provided by
our sureties is adequate for our current operations and will be adequate for our operations for the
foreseeable future.
Other Commitments and Contingencies
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 June 30, 2010,
$11.8 million of our outstanding letters of credit were utilized to collateralize our insurance
program.
Between October 2004 and September 2005, we sold all or substantially all of the assets of certain
of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. These sales were made to facilitate the business needs and
purposes of the organization as a whole. Since we were a consolidator of electrical contracting
businesses, often the best candidate to purchase these assets was a previous owner of the assets
who usually was still associated with the subsidiary, often as an officer of that subsidiary, or
otherwise. To facilitate the desired timing, the sales were made with more than ordinary reliance
on the representations of the purchaser who was, in those cases, often the person most familiar
with the business sold. As these sales were assets sales, rather than stock sales, we may be
required to fulfill obligations that were assigned or sold to others, if the purchaser is unwilling
or unable to perform the transferred liabilities. If this were to occur, we would seek
reimbursement from the purchasers. These potential liabilities will continue to diminish over time.
As of June 30, 2010, all projects transferred have been completed. To date, we have not been
required to perform on any projects sold under this divestiture program.
From time to time, we may enter into firm purchase commitments for materials such as copper or
aluminum wire which we expect to use in the ordinary course of business. These commitments are
typically for terms less than one year and require us to buy minimum quantities of materials at
specific intervals at a fixed price over the term. As of June 30, 2010, we had no open purchase
commitments.
11. CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDER
On
May 13, 2010, Tontine, filed an amended Schedule 13D.
On April 30, 2010, we prepaid $15.0 million of the
original $25.0 million principal outstanding on the Tontine Term Loan; accordingly $10.0 million
remains outstanding.
Although
Tontine has not indicated any plans to alter its ownership level, should Tontine reconsider its investment plans and sell its controlling interest in the Company, a
change in ownership would occur. A change in ownership, as defined by Internal Revenue Code
Section 382, could reduce the availability of net operating losses for federal and state income tax
purposes. Furthermore, a change in control would trigger the change of control provisions in a
number of our material agreements, including our $60 million Revolving Credit facility, bonding
agreements with our sureties and certain employment contracts with certain officers and employees
of the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in
conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements, the related Notes, and managements
discussion and analysis included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30,
2009. This discussion contains forward-looking statements and involves numerous risks and
uncertainties, including, but not limited to the risk factors discussed in the Risk Factors
section of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009, and in the
Disclosures Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form
10-Q. Actual results may differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operation are based on our
condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses.
We have identified the accounting principles that we believe are most critical to our reported
financial status by considering accounting policies that involve the most complex or subjective
decisions or assessments. These accounting policies are those related to revenue recognition, the
assessment of goodwill impairment, our allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, the recording of
our self-insurance liabilities and our estimation of the valuation allowance for deferred tax
assets. These accounting policies, as well as others, are described in Part 2. Item 8. Financial
Statements and Supplementary Data Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in our
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2009.
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS
Results of operations from our Residential construction segment are more seasonal, depending on
weather trends, with typically higher revenues generated during spring and summer and lower
revenues during fall and winter. The Commercial & Industrial segment of our business is less
subject to seasonal trends, as this work generally is performed inside structures protected from
the weather. Our service and maintenance 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 the timing of
new construction projects. Accordingly, operating results for any fiscal period are not necessarily
indicative of results that may be achieved for any subsequent fiscal period.
RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM
In the first quarter of our 2009 fiscal year, we began a new restructuring program (the 2009
Restructuring Plan) that was designed to consolidate operations within our three segments. The
2009 Restructuring Plan was the next level of our business optimization strategy. Our plan was to
streamline local project and support operations, which were managed through regional operating
centers, and to capitalize on the investments we had made over the past year to further leverage
our resources. We accelerated our trade name amortization during the 2009 fiscal year by recording
a charge of $1.6 million as identified within the Restructuring Charges caption in our
consolidated statements of operations.
In addition, as a result of the continuing significant effects of the recession, during the third
quarter of fiscal year 2009, we implemented a more expansive cost reduction program, by further
reducing administrative personnel, primarily in the corporate office, and consolidating our
Commercial and Industrial administrative functions into one service center. We now manage and
measure performance of our business in two distinct operating segments: Commercial & Industrial and
Residential. These segments are reflective of how the Companys Chief Operation Decision Maker
(CODM) reviews operating results for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing
performance. The Companys CODM is its Chief Executive Officer. Prior period disclosures have been
adjusted to reflect the change in reportable segments. As part of this expanded 2009 Restructuring
Plan, we do not expect to exceed $0.5 million in additional pre-tax restructuring charges,
including severance benefits and facility consolidations and closings over the remainder of our
current fiscal year.
Details regarding the components of the restructuring charges are described in Part 1. Item 1.

FINANCING
The Tontine Term Loan
On December 12, 2007, we entered into a $25.0 million senior subordinated loan agreement (the
Tontine Term Loan) with Tontine Capital Partners, L.P., a related party. The Tontine Term Loan
bears interest at 11.0% per annum and is due on May 15, 2013. Interest is payable quarterly in cash
or in-kind at our option. Any interest paid in-kind will bear interest at 11.0% in addition to the
loan principal. On April 30, 2010, we prepaid $15.0 million of principal on the Tontine Term Loan.
On May 1, 2010, Tontine assigned the Tontine Term Loan to TCP Overseas Master Fund II, L.P., (TCP
2). We may repay the Tontine Term Loan at any time prior to the maturity date at par, plus
accrued interest without penalty. The Tontine Term Loan is subordinated to our existing Revolving
Credit Facility (defined below) with Bank of America, N.A. The Tontine Term Loan is an unsecured
obligation of the Company and its subsidiary borrowers. The Tontine Term Loan contains no financial
covenants or restrictions on dividends or distributions to stockholders.
23
Insurance Financing Agreements
From time to time, we elect to finance our commercial insurance policy premiums over a term equal
to or less than the term of the policy (Insurance Financing Agreements). We previously referred
to these financing arrangements as the Camden Notes.
On October 1, 2009, we financed an insurance policy in the initial principal amount of $0.5 million
with First Insurance Funding Corp. (First Insurance Funding), which matures on September 1, 2010.
Under the terms of this note, we are to make eleven equal monthly payments of $49,319 (including
principal and interest) beginning on November 1, 2009.
On December 15, 2009, we financed an insurance policy in the initial principal amount of $0.2
million with First Insurance Funding, which matures on November 1, 2010. Under the terms of this
note, we are to make ten equal monthly payments of $22,037 (including principal and interest)
beginning on January 1, 2010.
The Insurance Financing Agreements are collateralized by the gross unearned premiums on the
respective insurance policies plus any payments for losses claimed under the policies.
The Revolving Credit Facility
On May 12, 2006, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the Loan and Security Agreement),
for a revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) with Bank of America, N.A. and
certain other lenders. On May 7, 2008, we renegotiated the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility
and entered into an amended agreement with the same financial institutions. The Loan and Security
Agreement, as amended, provided us with access to a $60.0 million Revolving Credit Facility.
Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may not exceed a borrowing base that is determined
monthly by our lenders based on available collateral, primarily certain accounts receivables and
inventory.
The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by our subsidiaries and secured by first priority liens
on substantially all of our subsidiaries existing and future acquired assets, exclusive of
collateral provided to our surety providers. The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary
affirmative, negative and financial covenants. The Revolving Credit Facility also restricts us from
paying cash dividends and places limitations on our ability to repurchase our common stock.
On April 30, 2010, we renegotiated the terms of, and entered into an amendment to, the Loan and
Security Agreement without incurring termination charges. Under the terms of the amended Revolving
Credit Facility, the size of the facility remains at $60.0 million, and the maturity date has been
extended to May 12, 2012. In connection with the amendment, we incurred an amendment fee of $0.2
million, which will be amortized over 24 months.
At June 30, 2010, we had $7.9 million available to us under the Revolving Credit Facility, based on
a borrowing base of $28.6 million, $20.7 million in outstanding letters of credit, and no
outstanding borrowings.
The financial covenants in effect as of June 30, 2010 under the Revolving Credit Facility are
described in Part 1. Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note 3, Debt and
Liquidity of this report.
SURETY
Surety
Many customers, particularly in connection with new construction, require us to post performance
and payment bonds issued by a surety. Those bonds provide a guarantee to the customer that we will
perform under the terms of our contract and that we will pay our subcontractors and vendors. If we
fail to perform under the terms of our contract or to pay subcontractors and vendors, the customer
may demand that the surety make payments or provide services under the bond. We must reimburse the
sureties for any expenses or
outlays they incur on our behalf. To date, we have not been required to make any reimbursements to
our sureties for bond-related costs.
24
As is common in the surety industry, sureties issue bonds on a project-by-project basis and can
decline to issue bonds at any time. We believe that our relationships with our sureties will allow
us to provide surety bonds as they are required. However, current market conditions, as well as
changes in our sureties assessment of our operating and financial risk, could cause our sureties
to decline to issue bonds for our work. If our sureties decline to issue bonds for our work, our
alternatives would include posting other forms of collateral for project performance, such as
letters of credit or cash, seeking bonding capacity from other sureties, or engaging in more
projects that do not require surety bonds. In addition, if we are awarded a project for which a
surety bond is required but we are unable to obtain a surety bond, the result can be a claim for
damages by the customer for the costs of replacing us with another contractor.
As of June 30, 2010, we utilized a combination of cash and letters of credit totaling $10.1 million
to collateralize our obligations to our sureties, which was comprised of $3.5 million in letters of
credit and $6.6 million of cash and accumulated interest (as is included in Other Non-Current
Assets in our consolidated balance sheet). Posting letters of credit in favor of our sureties
reduces the borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2010, the
estimated cost to complete our bonded projects was approximately $117.9 million. On May 7, 2010 we
entered into a new surety agreement. We evaluate our bonding requirements on a regular basis,
including the terms offered by our sureties. We believe the bonding capacity presently provided by
our sureties is adequate for our current operations and will be adequate for our operations for the
foreseeable future.

Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 were $50.8 million less than the quarter
ended June 30, 2009, a reduction of 29.5%. Each of our two business segments experienced declines
in construction activity during the quarter ended June 30, 2010,
primarily due to a nationwide decline in construction activity as a result of the challenging
economic environment.
Revenues in our Commercial & Industrial segment decreased $44.6 million, or 33.1%, during the
quarter ended June 30, 2010,
25
compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Many of our operating
locations experienced revenue declines, as most industry sectors have continued to reduce, delay or
cancel proposed construction projects. We also experienced increased competition from residential
contractors who have been affected by the housing slowdown for less specialized retail work with
lower barriers to entry. We experienced some revenue increases relating to our communications
business due to our presence in markets with stronger growth.
Residential segment revenues decreased $6.2 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, a
decrease of 16.6%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009, due to the slowdown in housing
construction. The ongoing nationwide decline in demand for single-family homes affected our
Residential segment, particularly in markets such as Southern California, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada
and Texas. In addition, multi-family housing construction declined markedly in the quarter ended
June 30, 2010, primarily due to the deferral of certain projects as they await financing or were
cancelled altogether. We attribute this decrease largely to reductions in building activity
throughout the markets we serve.

Our consolidated gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 declined by $16.5 million, or
52.3% compared to consolidated gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Our overall gross
profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 12.4% during the quarter ended June 30, 2010,
compared to 18.4% during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to a decline in higher
margin construction projects and increases in costs of materials.
Our Commercial & Industrial segments gross profit during the quarter ended June 30, 2010 decreased
$13.4 million compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Commercial & Industrials gross margin
percentage decreased during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to a decline in higher
margin construction projects and increases in costs of materials.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, our Residential segment experienced a $3.1 million
reduction in gross profit compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Gross margin percentage in
the Residential segment declined to 20.1% during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. We attribute the
decline in Residentials gross margin to the decline in higher margin multi-family housing
projects, an increase in material costs and intensified market competition during our third quarter
2010 in our single family sector.

Selling, general and administrative expenses are those costs not directly associated with
performing work for our customers. These costs consist primarily of compensation and benefits
related to corporate and business unit management, occupancy and utilities, training, professional
services, consulting fees, travel, and certain types of depreciation and amortization.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, our selling, general and administrative expenses were
$21.1 million, a decrease of $5.8 million, or 21.4%, over the quarter ended June 30, 2009. The
reduction in 2010 expenses was primarily due to decreases of
$5.7 million in employment expenses as a result of our ongoing cost reduction efforts and $1.0
million in accounting, legal and other professional fees offset by an increase of $1.0 million in
the allowance for doubtful accounts. For additional information, please refer to Part 1. Item 1.
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note 10, Commitments and Contingencies Legal
Matters of this report.

As of October 1, 2009, we began allocating certain corporate selling, general and administrative
costs across our segments as we believe this more accurately reflects the costs associated with
operating each segment. We reclassified our quarter ended June 30, 2009 selling, general and
administrative costs using the same methodology.
As a result of our 2009 Restructuring Plan, on October 1, 2009, the Company implemented
modifications to its system of reporting, resulting from changes to its internal organization,
which changed its reportable segments. These changes to the internal organization included the
realignment of our Industrial segment into our Commercial & Industrial segment.
Restructuring Charges
In 2007, we restructured our operations from a decentralized structure into three major lines of
business: Commercial, Industrial and Residential. Thereafter, on October 1, 2009 we consolidated
the Industrial segment into the Commercial & Industrial segment. These lines of business are
supported by two dedicated administrative shared service centers which consolidated many of the
administrative functions into centralized locations. In addition, the next level of our business
optimization strategy has been to streamline local projects and support operations, which will be
managed through regional operating centers, and to capitalize on the investments we made over the
past two years to further leverage our resources.
The costs associated with our 2009 Restructuring Plan are decreasing as we near completion of the
Plan. In conjunction with our 2009 Restructuring Plan, we recognized the following costs during the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, we incurred interest expense of $0.8 million on an average
debt balance of $15.0 million for the Tontine Term Loan and an average letter of credit balance of
$20.5 million and an average unused line of credit balance of $39.5 million under the Revolving
Credit Facility. This compared to interest expense of $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2009, on an average debt balance of $25.2 million on the Tontine Term Loan and an average letter of
credit balance of $25.7 million and an average unused line of credit balance of $34.3 million.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2010, total interest expense was offset by $0.1 million in
interest income on an average cash and cash equivalents balance of $40.2 million, compared to $0.1
million in interest income on an average cash and cash equivalents
balance of $54.1 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. Interest income was derived from
average interest rates of 0.5 percent during the quarter ended June 30, 2010, and 0.5 percent
during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.
27
Provision for Income Taxes
On May 12, 2006, we had a change in ownership as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 382. As
such, our net operating loss utilization after the change date will be subject to Section 382
limitations for federal income taxes and some state income taxes. We have provided valuation
allowances on all net operating losses where it is determined it is more likely than not that they
will expire without being utilized.
The provision for income taxes decreased from a provision of $1.5 million for the quarter ended
June 30, 2009 to a benefit of $98 thousand for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. The decrease in the
provision for income taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 is attributable to the increase in
net loss, a decrease in state income taxes and a decrease in the provision for uncertain tax
benefits. The implementation of the updated standards on business combinations did not effect the
provision for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. As described in Part 1. Item 1. Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of this
report, which is incorporated herein by reference, the FASB issued updated standards on business
combinations and accounting and reporting of non-controlling interests in consolidated financial
statements that will change this accounting, requiring recognition of previously unrecorded tax
benefits as a reduction of income tax expense. After our adoption of the new standards on
October 1, 2009, reductions in the valuation allowance attributable to all periods, if any should
occur, will be recorded as an adjustment to our income tax expense.

Consolidated revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 were $163.3 million less than the
nine months ended June 30, 2009, a
reduction of 31.9%. Each of our two business segments experienced declines in construction activity
during the nine months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to a nationwide decline in construction
activity as a result of the challenging economic environment.
28
Revenues in our Commercial & Industrial segment decreased $134.9 million, or 34.1%, during the nine
months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Many of our operating
locations experienced revenue declines, as most industry sectors have continued to reduce, delay or
cancel proposed construction projects. We also experienced increased competition from residential
contractors who have been affected by the housing slowdown for less specialized retail work with
lower barriers to entry. We experienced some revenue increases relating to our communications
business due to our presence in markets with stronger growth.
Residential segment revenues decreased $28.4 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2010, a
decrease of 24.3%, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2009, due to the slowdown in housing
construction. The ongoing nationwide decline in demand for single-family homes adversely affected
our Residential segment, particularly in markets such as Southern California, Arizona, Georgia,
Nevada and Texas. In addition, multi-family housing construction has continued to decline,
primarily due to the deferral of certain projects as they await financing or were cancelled
altogether.

Our consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 declined by $40.9 million, or
45.7% compared to consolidated gross profit for the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Our overall
gross profit as a percentage of revenue decreased to 13.9% during the nine months ended June 30,
2010, compared to 17.5% during the nine months ended June 30, 2009, primarily due to lower margin
construction projects and increases in costs of materials.
Our Commercial & Industrial segments gross profit during the nine months ended June 30, 2010
decreased $32.9 million compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Commercial & Industrials
gross margin percentage decreased during the nine months ended June 30, 2010, primarily due to
lower margin construction projects and increases in costs of materials.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, our Residential segment experienced a $8.0 million
reduction in gross profit compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Gross margin percentage
in the Residential segment decreased to 22.0% during the nine months ended June 30, 2010. We
attribute much of the decline in Residentials gross margin to an increase in material costs,
decreased pricing and intensified market competition during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 in
our single family sector.

Selling, general and administrative expenses are those costs not directly associated with
performing work for our customers. These costs consist primarily of compensation and benefits
related to corporate and business unit management, occupancy and utilities, training, professional
services, consulting fees, travel, and certain types of depreciation and amortization.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, our selling, general and administrative expenses were
$66.1 million, a decrease of
$16.6 million, or 20.1%, over the nine months ended June 30, 2009. The reduction in 2010 expenses
was primarily due to a $16.2 million decrease in employment expenses as a result of our ongoing
cost reduction efforts; a $3.1 million decrease in
29
accounting, legal and other professional fees;
and a $1.7 million decrease in occupancy costs offset by increases of $3.7 million for the
write-off of our Centerpoint long-term receivable; $1.7 million in the allowance for doubtful
accounts; $0.8 million decrease in travel expenses; and $0.5 million of severance. For additional
information, please refer to Part 1. Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note 10,
Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters of this report.
As of October 1, 2009, we began allocating certain corporate selling, general and administrative
costs across our segments as we believe this more accurately reflects the costs associated with
operating each segment. We reclassified our nine months ended June 30, 2009 selling, general and
administrative costs using the same methodology.
As a result of our 2009 Restructuring Plan, on October 1, 2009, the Company implemented
modifications to its system of reporting, resulting from changes to its internal organization,
which changed its reportable segments. These changes to the internal organization included the
realignment of our Industrial segment into our Commercial & Industrial segment.
Restructuring Charges
In 2007, we restructured our operations from a decentralized structure into three major lines of
business: Commercial, Industrial and Residential. Thereafter, on October 1, 2009 we consolidated
the Industrial segment into the Commercial & Industrial segment. These lines of business are
supported by two dedicated administrative shared service centers which consolidated many of the
administrative functions into centralized locations. In addition, the next level of our business
optimization strategy has been to streamline local projects and support operations, which will be
managed through regional operating centers, and to capitalize on the investments we made over the
past two years to further leverage our resources.
The costs associated with our 2009 Restructuring Plan are decreasing as we near completion of the
Plan. In conjunction with our 2009 Restructuring Plan, we recognized the following costs during the
nine months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 (in thousands):

During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we incurred interest expense of $2.9 million on an
average debt balance of $21.7 million for the Tontine Term Loan and an average letter of credit
balance of $22.6 million and an average unused line of credit balance of $37.4 million under the
Revolving Credit Facility. This compared to interest expense of $3.4 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2009, on an average debt balance of $25.2 million on the Tontine Term Loan and an
average letter of credit balance of $31.3 million and an average unused line of credit balance of
$28.7 million.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, total interest expense was offset by $0.2 million in
interest income on an average cash and cash equivalents balance of $50.2 million, compared to $0.3
million in interest income on an average cash and cash equivalents balance of $54.7 million during
the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Interest income was negatively impacted by lower interest
rates which averaged 0.5 percent during the nine months ended June 30, 2010, compared to 0.8
percent during the nine months ended June 30, 2009.

Provision for Income Taxes
On May 12, 2006, we had a change in ownership as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 382. As
such, our net operating loss utilization after the change date will be subject to Section 382
limitations for federal income taxes and some state income taxes. We have provided valuation
allowances on all net operating losses where it is determined it is more likely than not that they
will expire without being utilized.
The provision for income taxes decreased from a provision of $0.6 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2009 to a provision of $28 thousand for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease
in the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended June 30, 2010 is attributable to the
increase in net loss, a decrease in state income taxes and a decrease in the provision for
uncertain tax benefits. The implementation of the updated standards on business combinations did
not effect the provision for the nine months ended June 30, 2010. As described in Part 1. Item 1.
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference, the FASB issued updated standards on
business combinations and accounting and reporting of non-controlling interests in consolidated
financial statements that will change this accounting, requiring recognition of previously
unrecorded tax benefits as a reduction of income tax expense. After our adoption of the new
standards on October 1, 2009, reductions in the valuation allowance attributable to all periods, if
any should occur, will be recorded as an adjustment to our income tax expense.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2010 working capital decreased by $28.1 million from
September 30, 2009, reflecting a $58.7 million decrease in current assets and a $30.6 million
decrease in current liabilities during the period.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010 our current assets decreased by $58.7 million, or 26.5%,
to $162.6 million, as compared to $221.3 million as of September 30, 2009. Cash and cash
equivalents decreased by $33.5 million during nine months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to
September 30, 2009. Current trade accounts receivables, net, decreased by $14.8 million at June 30,
2010, as compared to September 30, 2009. Days sales outstanding (DSOs) increased to 79 days as
of June 30, 2010 from 72 days as of September 30, 2009. This increase was driven predominantly by
slow-downs in receipt of certain customer payments, which we attribute to distressed financial
markets and the challenging economic environment. While collections may be delayed, our secured
position, resulting from our ability to secure liens against our customers over due receivables,
reasonably assures that collection will
occur eventually to the extent that our security retains value. In light of the volatility of the
current financial markets, we closely monitor the collectability of our receivables. We also
experienced a $8.9 million decrease in retainage and a
$1.0 million decrease in costs in excess of
billings during the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared to September 30, 2009, primarily due
to the continued reduction in volumes.
31
During the nine months ended June 30, 2010, our total current liabilities decreased by $30.6
million to $69.1 million, compared to $99.7 million as of September 30, 2009. During the nine
months ended June 30, 2010 accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $20.1 million as a
result of lower volumes. Billings in excess of costs decreased by $9.7 million during the nine
months ended June 30, 2010 compared to September 30, 2009, due to the overall lower volumes of work
performed. Finally, current maturities of long-term debt decreased by $0.8 million during the nine
months ended June 30, 2010 compared to September 30, 2009.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $30.7 million, working capital of $93.5
million, $20.7 million of letters of credit outstanding and $7.9 million of available capacity
under our Revolving Credit Facility. We anticipate that the combination of cash on hand, cash flows
and available capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility will provide sufficient cash to enable
us to meet our working capital needs, debt service requirements and capital expenditures for
property and equipment through the next twelve months. Our ability to generate cash flow is
dependent on many factors, including demand for our services, the availability of projects at
margins acceptable to us, the ultimate collectability of our receivables, and our ability to borrow
on our amended Revolving Credit Facility, if needed. We were in compliance with our covenants under
our Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2010.
We continue to closely monitor the financial markets and general national and global economic
conditions. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to our invested cash or cash
equivalents; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash and cash
equivalents will not be impacted in the future by adverse conditions in the financial markets.
Operating Activities
Our cash flow from operations is primarily influenced by cyclicality, demand for our services,
operating margins and the type of services we provide but can also be influenced by working capital
needs such as the timing of our receivable collections. Working capital needs are generally lower
during our fiscal first and second quarters due to the seasonality that we experience in many
regions of the country. Operating activities used net cash of $16.4 million during the nine months
ended June 30, 2010, as compared to $6.9 million of net cash provided in the nine months ended June
30, 2009. The change in operating cash flows in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 was due to the
year to date net loss of $20.6 million, increased collections of accounts receivable and retainage
of $20.7 million, coupled with reduced overall working capital needs during the nine months ended
June 30, 2009, primarily as a result of lower levels of revenue activity and improved material
management, including a vendor managed inventory strategy. Additionally, the $20.1 million
reduction of our accounts payable and accrued expenses was primarily due to the overall reduction
in revenues along with the associated decrease in purchased materials compared to the nine months
ended June 30, 2009.
Investing Activities
In the nine months ended June 30, 2010, we provided net cash from investing activities of $0.1
million as compared to $6.0 million of net cash used in investing activities in the nine months
ended June 30, 2009. Investing activities in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 included $0.5
million used for capital expenditures partially offset by a cash distribution from an investment of
$0.4 million and $0.2 million of proceeds from the sale of equipment. Investing activities in the
nine months ended June 30, 2009 included $4.1 million used for capital expenditures, partially
offset by $0.2 million of proceeds from the sale of equipment. In addition, investing activities in
the nine months ended June 30, 2009 included $2.2 million used for investments in unconsolidated
affiliates.
Financing Activities
Financing activities used net cash of $17.2 million in the nine months ended June 30, 2010 compared
to $5.1 million used in the nine months ended June 30, 2009. Financing activities in the nine
months ended June 30, 2010 included $17.5 million used for payments of debt, $0.2 million used for
debt issuance costs and $0.2 million used for the acquisition of treasury stock netted against
$0.8 million provided by new insurance financing. Financing activities in the nine months ended
June 30, 2009 included $4.3 million used for the purchase of treasury stock and $1.8 million used
for payments of debt netted against $1.1 million provided by new financing.
Bonding Capacity
At June 30, 2010, we had adequate surety bonding capacity under our surety agreements. Our ability
to access this bonding capacity is at the sole discretion of our surety providers. As of June 30,
2010, the expected cumulative cost to complete for projects covered by our surety providers was
$117.9 million. We believe we have adequate remaining available bonding capacity to meet our

Controlling Shareholder
On May 13, 2010, Tontine, filed an amended Schedule 13D indicating
its ownership level of 58.7%. On April 30, 2010, we prepaid $15.0 million of the
original $25.0 million principal outstanding on the Tontine Term Loan; accordingly $10.0 million
remains outstanding.
Although
Tontine has not indicated any plans to alter its ownership level, should Tontine
reconsider its investment plans and sell its controlling interest in the Company, a change in
ownership would occur. A change in ownership, as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 382,
could reduce the availability of net operating losses for federal and state income tax purposes.
Furthermore, a change in control would trigger the change of control provisions in a number of our
material agreements, including our $60 million Revolving Credit facility, bonding agreements with
our sureties and certain employment contracts with certain officers and employees of the Company.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
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 commitments
associated with non-cancelable operating leases, letter of credit obligations, firm commitments for
materials and surety guarantees.
We enter into non-cancelable 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 cancel or terminate a lease before the end of its term. Typically, we would be liable to the
lessor for various lease cancellation or termination costs and the difference between the 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 and vendors 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. At June 30, 2010, $5.4 million of our outstanding
letters of credit were to collateralize our customers and vendors.
Some of the underwriters of our casualty insurance program require us to post letters of credit as
collateral, as 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 June 30, 2010,
an additional $11.8 million of our outstanding letters of credit were to collateralize our
insurance programs.
From time to time, we may enter into firm purchase commitments for materials such as copper wire
and aluminum wire, among others, which we expect to use in the ordinary course of business. These
commitments are typically for terms less than one year and require us to buy minimum quantities of
materials at specified intervals at a fixed price over the term. As of June 30, 2010, we did not
have any open purchase commitments.
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 sureties is such that we will indemnify the sureties for any expenses
they incur in connection with any of the bonds they issue on our behalf. To date, we have not
incurred any costs to indemnify our sureties for expenses they incurred on our behalf. As of June
30, 2010, we utilized a combination of cash, accumulated interest thereon and letters of credit
totaling $10.1 million to collateralize our bonding programs.
As of June 30, 2010, our future contractual obligations due by September 30 of each of the
following fiscal years include (in thousands) (1):

Outlook
We anticipate that the combination of cash on hand, cash flows and available capacity under our
Revolving Credit Facility will provide sufficient cash to enable us to meet our working capital
needs, debt service requirements and capital expenditures for property and equipment through the
next twelve months. We expect that our capital expenditures will not exceed $1.0 million for the
fiscal year ending on September 30, 2010. Our ability to generate cash flow is dependent on our
successful finalization of our restructuring efforts and many other factors, including demand for
our products and services, existing or pending legislative or regulatory actions related to
renewable energy and the purchase of homes, the availability of projects at margins acceptable to
us, the ultimate collectability of our receivables and our ability to borrow on our amended
Revolving Credit Facility.
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. Our exposure to significant market risks includes
fluctuations in commodity prices for copper, aluminum, steel and fuel. Commodity price risks may
impact our results of operations due to the fixed price nature of many of our contracts. We are
also exposed to interest rate risk with respect to our outstanding debt obligations, if any, on the
Revolving Credit Facility.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure controls and procedures
In accordance with Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15, we carried out an evaluation, under the
supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our
Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the
end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and
Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
June 30, 2010 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our
reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported
within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Our
disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is
accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the nine months ended June 30, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
