MICHAEL BAKER CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
In these condensed consolidated financial statements, Michael Baker Corporation is referred to
as the Company. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes
have been prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America for interim financial reporting and with the Securities and Exchange
Commissions (SECs) instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and related notes that would normally be required by
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for audited financial
statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the Form 10-K).
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments
(of a normal and recurring nature) that management considers necessary for a fair statement of
financial information for the interim periods. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the remainder of the year ending December 31, 2008.
2. RESTATEMENT OF PRIOR PERIODS CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Subsequent to the issuance of the Companys condensed consolidated financial statements for
the periods ended June 30, 2007, the Company determined that accounting errors, as described below,
were included in its previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As a
result, the Company has restated the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for
the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2007 to correct the accounting errors described
below.
The following table presents the impact of the restatement on net income and diluted earnings
per share (amounts in thousands, except earnings per share):

|
Accounting errors related to (i) the incorrect calculation of manual accruals to record
revenue under the terms of several of the Companys Energy segment domestic managed service
contracts, and (ii) inappropriate inclusion
of non-billable costs in the determination of revenue. These error corrections had the net
effect of reducing revenue, cost of work performed and net income. |
- 4 -
In addition, the Company identified errors in the reporting of revenues and cost of
work performed relating to (i) under accrued unbilled revenues and accounts payable for
certain pass-through costs in the Energy segment domestic managed service business and (ii)
incorrect gross basis presentation on one of its managed services projects that should have
been presented on a net basis in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No.
(EITF) 99-19, Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. These
error corrections had the net effect of decreasing revenue and cost of work performed, but
had a negligible effect on net income.

|
This adjustment represents the income tax effect of the error corrections described in
(1) above. |
The following table presents the effects of the adjustments on the Companys previously issued

As of June 30, 2008, there were 14,000 of the Companys stock options that were excluded from
the computations of diluted shares outstanding because the option exercise prices were more than
the average market prices of the Companys common shares. As of June 30, 2007, all of the
Companys stock options were included in the computations of diluted shares outstanding because the
option exercise prices were less than the average market prices of the Companys common shares.
4. BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Companys Engineering and Energy business segments reflect how management makes resource
decisions and assesses its performance. Each segment operates under a separate management group
and produces discrete financial information which is reviewed by management. The accounting
policies of the business segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant
accounting policies in the Companys Form 10-K.
Engineering. The Engineering segment provides a variety of design and related consulting
services. Such services include program management, design-build, construction management,
consulting, planning, surveying, mapping, geographic information systems, architectural and
interior design, construction inspection, constructability reviews, site assessment and
restoration, strategic regulatory analysis and regulatory compliance.
Energy. The Energy segment provides a full range of services for operating third-party energy
production facilities worldwide. These services range from complete outsourcing solutions to
specific services such as training, personnel recruitment, pre-operations engineering, maintenance
management systems, field operations and maintenance, procurement, and supply chain management.
Many of these service offerings are enhanced by the utilization of this segments managed services
operating model as a service delivery method. The Energy segment serves both major and smaller
independent oil and gas producing companies, but does not pursue exploration opportunities for its
own account or own any oil or natural gas reserves.
- 8 -
The Company evaluates the performance of its segments primarily based on income from
operations before Corporate overhead allocations. Corporate overhead includes functional unit
costs related to finance, legal, human resources, information technology, communications, and other
Corporate functions and is allocated between the Engineering and Energy segments based on a
three-part formula comprising revenues, assets and payroll, or based on beneficial or causal
relationships.

5. INCOME TAXES
The Company adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes an Interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109 on January 1, 2007. As of June 30, 2008, the Companys reserve for
uncertain tax positions totaled approximately $1.9 million, which was unchanged from December 31,
2007. Additional changes in this reserve could impact the Companys effective tax rate in
subsequent periods.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain income tax positions in
interest expense and selling, general, and administrative expenses, respectively, in its condensed
consolidated statements of income. As of June 30, 2008, the Companys reserves for interest and
penalties related to uncertain tax positions totaled $1.3 million, which was an increase of $0.1
million from December 31, 2007.
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. (SFAS) 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Company bases its consolidated
effective income tax rate for interim periods on its forecasted annual consolidated effective
income tax rate, which includes estimates of the taxable income and revenue for jurisdictions in
which the Company operates. In certain foreign jurisdictions, the Companys subsidiaries are
subject to a deemed profits tax that is assessed based on revenue. In other foreign jurisdictions
or situations, the Companys subsidiaries are subject to income taxes based on taxable income. In
certain of these situations, the Companys estimated income tax payments during the year (which are
withheld from client invoices at statutory rates) may significantly exceed the tax due per the
income tax returns when filed; however, no practical method of refund can be effected. As a
result, related income tax assets are routinely assessed for realizability, and valuation
allowances against these tax assets are recorded in the event that it is more likely than not that
such tax assets will not be realized.
Certain foreign subsidiaries do not have earnings and profits for United States (U.S.) tax
purposes; therefore, any losses incurred by these subsidiaries do not generate a tax benefit in the
calculation of the Companys consolidated income tax provision. If these foreign subsidiaries had
positive earnings and profits for U.S. tax purposes, their foreign losses would reduce both the
deferred tax liability that was set up on the future remittance back to the U.S. and the
Companys effective income tax rate. In addition, valuation allowances against tax benefits
of foreign net operating losses may be recorded as a result of the Companys inability to generate
sufficient taxable income in certain foreign jurisdictions.
- 10 -
As a result of the foregoing, depending upon foreign revenues and relative profitability, the
Company may report high effective income tax rates. The amount of these taxes, when proportioned
with U.S. tax rates and income amounts, can cause the Companys consolidated effective income tax
rate to fluctuate significantly.
The
Companys full-year forecasted effective income tax rate was 42%
and 46% at June 30, 2008
and 2007, respectively. As a comparison, the Companys actual effective income tax rate for the
year ended December 31, 2007 was 43%.
The
variances between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% and our forecasted effective
income tax rates for these periods is primarily due to taxes on foreign income, which we are not
able to offset with U.S. foreign tax credits, and to foreign losses with no U.S. tax benefit. Our
effective rate is also impacted by state income taxes, permanent items that are not deductible for
U.S. tax purposes and Nigerian income taxes that are levied on a deemed profit basis.
6. COMMITMENTS & CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
At June 30, 2008, the Company had certain guarantees and indemnifications outstanding which
could result in future payments to third parties. These guarantees generally result from the
conduct of the Companys business in the normal course. The Companys outstanding guarantees at
June 30, 2008 were as follows:

* These instruments require no associated liability on the Companys Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Companys banks issue standby letters of credit (LOCs) on the Companys behalf under the
Unsecured Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) as discussed more fully in the Long-term Debt
and Borrowing Agreements note. As of June 30, 2008, the majority of the balance of the Companys
outstanding LOCs was issued to insurance companies to serve as collateral for payments the insurers
are required to make under certain of the Companys self-insurance programs. These LOCs may be
drawn upon in the event that the Company does not reimburse the insurance companies for claims
payments made on its behalf. These LOCs renew automatically on an annual basis unless either the
LOCs are returned to the bank by the beneficiaries or the banks elect not to renew them.
Bonds are provided on the Companys behalf by certain insurance carriers. The beneficiaries
under these performance and payment bonds may request payment from the Companys insurance carriers
in the event that the Company does not perform under the project or if subcontractors are not paid.
The Company does not expect any amounts to be paid under its outstanding bonds at June 30, 2008.
In addition, the Company believes that its bonding lines will be sufficient to meet its bid and
performance bonding needs for at least the next year.
- 11 -
Contingencies
Services Agreement. The Company is party to a Restated and Amended Operations, Maintenance
and Services Agreement dated effective January 1, 2005 (the Services Agreement), with J.M. Huber
Corporation (Huber) pursuant to which the Company agreed to provide certain operation,
maintenance, exploration, development, production and administrative services with respect to
certain oil and gas properties owned by Huber in the State of Wyoming. In October 2006, the
Wyoming Department of Audit initiated a sales and use tax audit against Huber for the time period
2003 through 2005. In February 2008, the Department of Audit issued revised preliminary audit
findings against Huber in the amount of $4.3 million in tax, interest and penalties in relation to
services provided under the Services Agreement. In May 2008, Huber notified the Company of its
claim for indemnification under the Services Agreement for the final audit findings, interest and
penalties and certain costs relating thereto. The Company does not believe that it had or has any
obligation as a vendor to collect and remit Wyoming sales and use tax with respect to certain
transactions under the Services Agreement. The Companys and Hubers representatives met with
Wyoming tax officials on June 20, 2008, to discuss the status of the audit. Based on that meeting,
the Wyoming Department of Revenue agreed to reconsider the issue and to issue revised audit
findings, if necessary. The Company has provided Huber with support in defending the audit,
including providing supporting documentation and affidavits, reviewing audit materials and legal
analysis, and attending the aforementioned meeting with Wyoming tax officials.
Tax exposures. The Company believes that amounts estimated and recorded for certain income
tax, non-income tax, penalty, and interest exposures (identified through its 2005 restatement
process) aggregating $6.2 million at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, may ultimately be
increased or reduced dependent on settlements with the respective taxing authorities. Actual
payments could differ from amounts recorded at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 due to favorable
or unfavorable tax settlements and/or future negotiations of tax, penalties and interest at less
than full statutory rates. Based on information currently available, these recorded amounts have
been determined to reflect probable liabilities. However, depending on the outcome of future tax
settlements, negotiations and discussions with tax authorities, subsequent conclusions may be
reached which result in favorable or unfavorable adjustments to the recorded amounts in future
periods.
Legal proceedings. Subsequent to the Companys February 2008 announcement of its intention to
restate its financial statements for the first three quarters of 2007, four separate complaints
were filed by holders of the Companys common stock against the Company, as well as certain of its
current and former officers, in the United States District Court for the Western District of
Pennsylvania. The complaints in these lawsuits purport to have been made on behalf of a class of
plaintiffs consisting of purchasers of the Companys common stock between March 19, 2007 and
February 22, 2008. The complaints alleged that the Company and certain of its current and former
officers made materially false and misleading statements in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The plaintiffs
seek unspecified compensatory damages, attorneys fees, and other fees and costs.
In June 2008, all of the cases were consolidated into a single class action. The lead
plaintiff was appointed during July 2008; following the approval of its selection of counsel, a
consolidated amended complaint will likely be filed. The Company intends to defend this lawsuit
vigorously.
The Company has been named as a defendant or co-defendant in certain other legal proceedings
wherein damages are claimed. Such proceedings are not uncommon to the Companys business. After
consultations with counsel, management believes that it has recognized adequate provisions for
probable and reasonably estimable liabilities associated with these proceedings, and that their
ultimate resolutions will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
- 12 -
Self-Insurance. Insurance coverage is obtained for catastrophic exposures, as well as those
risks required to be insured by law or contract. The Company requires its insurers to meet certain
minimum financial ratings at the time the coverages are placed; however, insurance recoveries
remain subject to the risk that the insurer will be financially able to
pay the claims as they arise. The Company is insured with respect to its workers
compensation and general liability exposures subject to certain deductibles or self-insured
retentions. Loss provisions for these exposures are recorded based upon the Companys estimates of
the total liability for claims incurred. Such estimates utilize certain actuarial assumptions
followed in the insurance industry.
The Company is self-insured for its primary layer of professional liability insurance through
a wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary. The secondary layer of the professional liability
insurance continues to be provided, consistent with industry practice, under a claims-made
insurance policy placed with an independent insurance company. Under claims-made policies,
coverage must be in effect when a claim is made. This insurance is subject to standard exclusions.
The Company establishes reserves for both insurance-related claims that are known and have
been asserted against the Company, as well as for insurance-related claims that are believed to
have been incurred but have not yet been reported to the Companys claims administrators as of the
respective balance sheet dates. The Company includes any adjustments to such insurance reserves in
its consolidated results of operations.
The Company is self-insured with respect to its primary medical benefits program subject to
individual retention limits. As part of the medical benefits program, the Company contracts with
national service providers to provide benefits to its employees for medical and prescription drug
services. The Company reimburses these service providers as claims related to the Companys
employees are paid by the service providers.
Reliance liquidation. The Companys professional liability insurance coverage had been placed
on a claims-made basis with Reliance Insurance Group (Reliance) for the period July 1, 1994
through June 30, 1999. In 2001, the Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner placed Reliance into
liquidation. Due to the subsequent liquidation of Reliance, the Company is currently uncertain
what amounts paid by the Company to settle certain claims totaling in excess of $2.5 million will
be recoverable under the insurance policy with Reliance. The Company is pursuing a claim in the
Reliance liquidation and believes that some recovery will result from the liquidation, but the
amount of such recovery cannot currently be estimated. The Company had no related receivables
recorded from Reliance as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.
7. LONG-TERM DEBT AND BORROWING AGREEMENTS
The Companys Credit Agreement is with a consortium of financial institutions and provides for
a commitment of $60 million through October 1, 2011. The commitment includes the sum of the
principal amount of revolving credit loans outstanding (for which there is no sub-limit) and the
aggregate face value of outstanding LOCs (which have a sub-limit of $20.0 million). As of June 30,
2008 and December 31, 2007, there were no borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement and
outstanding LOCs were $10.7 million as of both dates.
- 13 -
Under the Credit Agreement, the Company pays bank commitment fees on the unused portion of the
commitment, ranging from 0.2% to 0.375% per year based on the Companys leverage ratio. There were
no borrowings during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The weighted-average interest rate on the
Companys borrowings was 7.57% for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The proceeds from these
borrowings under the Credit Agreement were used to meet various working capital requirements.
The Credit Agreement provides pricing options for the Company to borrow at the banks prime
interest rate or at LIBOR plus an applicable margin determined by the Companys leverage ratio
(based on a measure of indebtedness to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and
amortization (EBITDA)). The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to meet minimum equity,
leverage, interest and rent coverage, and current ratio covenants. In addition, the Companys
Credit Agreement with its banks places certain limitations on dividend payments. If any of these
financial covenants or certain other conditions of borrowing are not achieved, under certain
circumstances, after a cure period, the banks may demand the repayment of all borrowings
outstanding and/or require deposits to cover the outstanding letters of credit.
8. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
As of June 30, 2008, the Company had two fixed stock option plans under which stock options
can be exercised. Under the 1995 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan), the Company was authorized to
grant options for an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock to key employees through its
expiration on December 14, 2004. Under the amended 1996 Non-employee Directors Stock Incentive
Plan (the Directors Plan), the Company is authorized to grant options and restricted shares for
an aggregate of 400,000 shares of Common Stock to non-employee board members through February 18,
2014. Under both plans, the exercise price of each option equals the average market price of the
Companys stock on the date of grant. Unless otherwise established, one-fourth of the options
granted to key employees became immediately vested and the remaining three-fourths vested in equal
annual increments over three years under the now expired Plan, while the options under the
Directors Plan become fully vested on the date of grant and become exercisable six months after
the date of grant. Vested options remain exercisable for a period of ten years from the grant date
under both plans.
The Company recognized total stock-based compensation expense of $124,000 and $313,000 for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
all outstanding options were fully vested under both plans. There were 122,463 and 145,520
exercisable options under the plans as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

Average life remaining in years. |
The fair value of options on the respective grant dates was estimated using a Black-Scholes
option pricing model. The average risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield with
a term to maturity that approximates the options expected life as of the grant date. Expected
volatility is determined using historical volatilities of the underlying market value of the
Companys stock obtained from public data sources. The expected life of the stock options is
determined using historical data adjusted for the estimated exercise dates of the unexercised
options.
During the second quarter of 2008, the Company issued 40,000 Stock Appreciation Rights
(SARs), which vest at varying intervals over a three-year period, in connection with our Chief
Executive Officers recent employment agreement. Future payments for the SARs will be made in
cash, subject to the Companys discretion to make such payments in shares of the Companys common
stock under the terms of a shareholder-approved equity incentive plan. The Company did not have a
shareholder-approved employee equity plan at June 30, 2008. The liability associated with these
SARs will require revaluation on a quarterly basis.

Under SFAS 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the Companys goodwill balance is not
being amortized and goodwill impairment tests are being performed at least annually. Annually, the
Company evaluates the carrying value of its goodwill during the second quarter. Given the
Companys restatement discussed in Note 2, the Company completed an evaluation of the carrying
value of its Energy segments goodwill as of December 31, 2007. No impairment charge was required
as a result of this evaluation. Similarly, no goodwill impairment charge was required in
connection with the Companys annual evaluation for the second quarter of 2008.
As of June 30, 2008, the Companys other intangible assets balance comprises a non-compete
agreement (totaling $2.0 million, which is fully amortized) from its 1998 purchase of Steen
Production Services, Inc., as well as intangibles primarily related to the value of the contract
backlog at the time of the Companys 2006 acquisition of Buck Engineering, P.C. (Buck) (totaling
$849,000 with accumulated amortization of $631,000 as of June 30, 2008). These identifiable
intangible assets with finite lives are being amortized over their estimated useful lives.
Substantially all of these intangible assets will be fully amortized over the next four years.
Amortization expense recorded on the other intangible assets balance was $57,000 and $104,000 for
the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Estimated future amortization expense for other intangible assets as of June 30, 2008 is as

10. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair
value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value
measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates
inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. In February 2008,
FASB Staff Position No. (FSP) 157-2 was issued, which defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for
nonfinancial assets and liabilities until the first interim period in fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. The Company is assessing the impact of this statement on its consolidated
financial statements and will adopt the provisions of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations. SFAS
141(R) will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS 141(R), an
acquiring entity will be required to recognize, with limited exceptions, all the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value. SFAS 141(R) will
change the accounting treatment for certain specific acquisition related items including, among
other items: (1) expensing acquisition related costs as incurred, (2) valuing noncontrolling
interests at fair value at the acquisition date, and (3) expensing restructuring costs associated
with an acquired business. SFAS 141(R) also includes a substantial number of new disclosure
requirements. SFAS 141(R) is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or
after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt the provisions of SFAS 141(R) on January 1, 2009.
- 16 -
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements. SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies
that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (minority interest) is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements and
separate
from the parent companys equity. Among other requirements, this statement requires
consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the
parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the
Consolidated Statement of Income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the
parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for the first interim period in
fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The Company is assessing the impact of this
statement on its consolidated financial statements and will adopt the provisions of SFAS 160 on
January 1, 2009.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Item 1, Financial Statements in
Part I of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The discussion in this section contains
forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements
are based on our current expectations about future events. These expectations are subject to risks
and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. For a discussion of important risk factors
that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described or implied by the
forward-looking statements contained herein, see the Note with Respect to Forward-Looking
Statements and Risk Factors sections included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2007 (the Form 10-K).
Restatement
Subsequent to the issuance of our condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter
ended June 30, 2007, we determined that accounting errors were included in our previously issued
condensed consolidated financial statements. We have restated our previously issued condensed
consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007; see Note 2 to
our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q for further discussion of these
matters. All amounts and commentary included in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations section give effect to the restatement.
Business Overview and Environment
We provide engineering and energy expertise for public and private sector clients worldwide.
Our primary services include engineering design for the transportation, water and other civil
infrastructure markets, architectural and environmental services, construction management services
for buildings and transportation projects, and operations and maintenance of oil and gas production
facilities. We view our short and long-term liquidity as being dependent upon our results of
operations, changes in working capital and our borrowing capacity. Our financial results are
impacted by appropriations of public funds for infrastructure and other government-funded projects,
capital spending levels in the private sector, and the demand for our services in the engineering
and energy markets. We could be affected by additional external factors such as price fluctuations
and capital expenditures in the energy industry.
Engineering
Our Engineering segment provides a variety of design and related consulting services. Our
services include program management, design-build, construction management, consulting, planning,
surveying, mapping, geographic information systems, architectural and interior design, construction
inspection, constructability reviews, site assessment and restoration, strategic regulatory
analysis and regulatory compliance.
For the past several years, we have observed increased federal spending activity by the
Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), including the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In turn, we have focused more marketing and sales
activity on these agencies of the United States of America (U.S.) federal government. As a
result of pursuing this strategy, we have significantly increased our revenues from U.S. federal
government contracting activity over this time period. Additional government spending in these
areas or on transportation infrastructure could result in profitability and liquidity improvements
for us. Significant contractions in any of these areas could unfavorably impact our profitability
and liquidity. In 2005, the U.S. Congress approved a six-year $286.5
- 18 -
billion transportation
infrastructure bill entitled SAFETEA-LU, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation
Equity ActA Legacy for Users. This funding reflects an increase of approximately 46% over its
predecessor, TEA-21. With this bill enacted, we saw an increase in state spending on
transportation infrastructure projects for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2007, and we
expect this state spending to maintain a consistent level of activity over the remainder of 2008.
Engineering contracts awarded during the first and second quarters include a two-part contract for
an estimated $2.7 million to complete environmental investigations and preliminary and final design
for the new Vrooman Road Bridge over the Grand River in Lake County, Ohio and a $3.4 million
contract by the Kane
County (Ill.) Division of Transportation for the final design of the Fox River Bridge,
including 1.3 miles of new highway and a pedestrian bridge.
In March 2004, we announced that we had been awarded a five-year IDIQ contract with FEMA for
up to $750 million to serve as the program manager to develop, plan, manage, implement, and monitor
the Multi-Hazard Flood Map Modernization Program (FEMA Map Mod Program) for flood hazard
mitigation across the U.S. and its territories. As of June 30, 2008, approximately $62 million of
this contract value was included in our funded backlog. Although we expect additional funding
authorizations, we do not anticipate realizing all of our unfunded backlog balance (totaling $262
million at June 30, 2008) through the contract award period, which concludes March 10, 2009. We
expect work and revenue related to authorizations prior to March 10, 2009 to continue for
approximately three years. In the future, we may be required to reduce our FEMA backlog as better
estimates become available. During the second half of 2008, we will compete for contracts in
FEMAs planned Risk Mapping, Analysis and Planning MAP Program (Risk MAP Program), which is
intended to be the successor to the FEMA Map Mod Program.
Energy
Our Energy segment provides a full range of services for operating third-party oil and gas
production facilities worldwide. These services range from complete outsourcing solutions to
specific services such as training, personnel recruitment, pre-operations engineering, maintenance
management systems, field operations and maintenance, procurement, and supply chain management.
Many of these service offerings are enhanced by the utilization of our managed services operating
model as a service delivery method. Our Energy segment serves both major and smaller independent
oil and gas producing companies, but we do not pursue exploration opportunities for our own account
or own any oil or natural gas reserves.
During the first half of 2008, we were able to increase revenues related to our international
business through the renewal of a $5.8 million-per-year contract with Nigeria LNG Ltd. for an
additional three years, with an option for a two-year extension, to provide a wide variety of
operations, maintenance and support activities for the Liquefied Natural Gas Complex located at
Bonny Island, Rivers State, Nigeria. This extension provided us with various pricing improvements
over our previous contract. In addition, we had several new contracts in West Africa that began in
the fourth quarter of 2007. While several of our managed services contracts were completed or
cancelled, activity on several new managed services projects increased or commenced in the second and third quarters of 2008
and will contribute to our results in the second half of 2008.

Executive Overview
Our revenues were $345.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, a 3% decrease over
the $355.5 million reported for 2007. This decrease was driven by the period-over-period decrease
of 26% in our Energy segment, partially offset by the period-over-period increase of 18% in our
Engineering segment. The decrease in Energys revenue was primarily driven by a clients sale of
properties and the resulting termination of one of our managed services contracts during the third
quarter of 2007 and the change in the scope and subsequent cancellation of another of our managed
services contracts, offset partially by the revenue impact of a new managed services contract that
began in the third quarter of 2007. The 18% revenue growth in our Engineering segment for the
first half of 2008 primarily related to an increase in work performed as support for the Department
of Homeland Securitys efforts to secure U.S. borders, an increase in work performed for our
unconsolidated joint venture operating in Iraq, an increase in our transportation-related revenues,
and the recognition of a non-recurring project settlement under a previously awarded contract that
was subsequently reprocured by the client.
Our earnings per diluted common share were $1.62 for the six months ended June 30, 2008,
compared to $0.86 per diluted common share reported for 2007. Income from operations for the six
months ended June 30, 2008 was $23.3 million, which improved from $13.6 million for 2007. These
overall results were driven by profitability improvements on certain federal and state projects, an
increase in work for our unconsolidated joint venture in Iraq, and the favorable impact of a
non-recurring project settlement during 2008. Income from operations for the six months ended June
30, 2008 was $22.4 million in our Engineering segment, an increase from $13.2 million for 2007.
Unfavorably impacting our overall period-over-period increase in income from operations was our
Energy segments income from operations of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
compared $0.9 million for 2007. Our Energy segments income from operations was impacted by
restatement costs totaling $4.2 million for the first half of 2008.
Results of Operations
The following table reflects a summary of our operating results (excluding intercompany
transactions) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. We evaluate the
performance of our segments primarily based on income from operations before Corporate overhead
allocations. Corporate overhead includes functional unit costs related to finance, legal, human
resources, information technology, communications, and other Corporate functions and is allocated
between our Engineering and Energy segments based on a three-part formula comprising revenues,
assets and payroll, or based on beneficial or causal relationships.

Comparisons of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
In this three-month discussion, unless specified otherwise, all references to 2008 and 2007
relate to the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Revenues
Our revenues totaled $170.9 million for 2008 compared to $185.8 million for 2007, reflecting a
decrease of $14.9 million or 8%. This decrease was driven by a period-over-period reduction of 34%
in our Energy segments revenues, partially offset by the period-over-period growth of 15% in our
Engineering segment. The decrease in Energys revenue was primarily driven by a clients sale of
properties and the resulting termination of one of our major managed services contracts during the
third quarter of 2007 and the change in the scope and subsequent cancellation of another managed
services contract. The 15% revenue growth in our Engineering segment primarily related to an
increase in work performed as support for the Department of Homeland Securitys efforts to secure
U.S. borders, an increase in work performed for our unconsolidated joint venture operating in Iraq,
and an increase in our transportation-related revenues.

The increase in our Engineering segments revenues for 2008 was primarily related to an
increase of $6.8 million in work performed as support for the Department of Homeland Securitys
efforts to secure U.S. borders, an increase of $4.6 million in work performed for our
unconsolidated joint venture operating in Iraq, an increase in our transportation-related revenues,
as well as growth in most of our other engineering practice areas.
The increase in 2008 revenues was
partially offset by a decrease in project incentive awards of $2.6 million as compared to 2007.
Total revenues from FEMA were $24 million and $26 million for 2008 and 2007, respectively. As
a result of achieving certain performance levels on the FEMA Map Mod Program, we recognized
revenues from project incentive awards totaling $1.3 million and $1.5 million for 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The decreased project incentive awards on the FEMA Map Mod Program for 2008
represents a lower project incentive award pool as compared to 2007, while we achieved consistent
performance levels on the tasks completed.
Energy. Revenues were $57.4 million for 2008 compared to $87.1 million for 2007, reflecting a
decrease of $29.7 million or 34%. The Energy segment serves both major and smaller independent oil
and gas producing companies in both the U.S and foreign markets.

The decrease in Energys domestic revenues for 2008 as compared to 2007 was primarily the
result of our managed services contract with Escambia Operating Company, LLC (Escambia) being
terminated in connection with Escambias sale of certain gas producing properties and the change in
the scope and subsequent cancellation of our managed services contract with Brooks Range Petroleum
Corporation. Also in our domestic operations, one of our major managed services contracts was
renegotiated in 2008 and resulted in a significant reduction in revenue activity. International
revenues increased primarily as a result of the scheduled shut-down of liquefied natural gas
facilities in Nigeria for which we provided operations and
maintenance services, coupled with more favorable pricing which went into effect on this
contract in the
- 22 -
fourth quarter of 2007. These scheduled shut-down activities generate significant
revenue in short periods of time and typically do not recur until the next scheduled shut-down.
The 2008 shut-down activities were completed during the second quarter of 2008.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit totaled $32.3 million for 2008 compared to $27.7 million for 2007, reflecting
an increase of $4.6 million or 17%. Gross profit included unallocated Corporate income of $0.6
million for 2008 versus $0.2 million of expense for 2007. Gross profit expressed as a percentage
of revenues increased to 18.9% for 2008 compared to 14.9% for 2007. The increase in gross profit
for 2008 is primarily attributable to our Engineering segments increased revenue volume compared
to 2007 and a decrease in total general liability insurance costs of $0.6 million due to higher
claims activity in 2007. Additionally, we experienced favorable claims development of $0.8 million
related to our self-insured professional liability reserves in 2008.
Direct labor and subcontractor costs are major components in our cost of work performed due to
the project-related nature of our service businesses. Direct labor costs expressed as a percentage
of revenues were 33.4% for 2008 compared to 27.1% for 2007, while subcontractor costs expressed as
a percentage of revenues were 19.5% and 29.2% for 2008 and 2007, respectively. In the Energy
segment, we used fewer subcontractors during 2008, as compared to
2007 when we incurred more
subcontractor costs in connection with drilling exploratory wells for our customers on certain managed services contracts. Expressed as a
percentage of revenues, direct labor and subcontractor costs increased in the Engineering segment
period over period due to project mix.
Engineering. Gross profit was $23.3 million for 2008 compared to $20.2 million for 2007,
reflecting an increase of $3.1 million or 15%. Engineerings gross profit expressed as a
percentage of revenues was 20.5% for both 2008 and 2007. The increase in gross profit is primarily
attributable to Engineerings improved revenue volume compared to 2007. Gross profit expressed as
a percentage of revenues remained consistent even with the decrease in project incentive awards of
$2.6 million as compared to 2007.
Energy. Gross profit was $8.4 million for 2008 compared to $7.3 million for 2007, reflecting
an increase of $1.1 million or 16%. Gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenues increased
to 14.7% for 2008 compared to 8.4% for 2007. Despite its 34% revenue decrease in 2008, Energy
posted a gross profit improvement due to its significant margin
improvement on its current contracts and a decrease of
$0.8 million in self-insured general liability costs. In our
domestic operations, the 2008 gross profit
amounts associated with the aforementioned managed services projects
which experienced revenue
reductions were relatively consistent with the 2007 gross profit
amounts.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our SG&A expenses totaled $18.7 million for 2008 compared to $17.1 million for 2007,
reflecting an increase of $1.6 million or 9%. Included in SG&A for 2007 were unallocated
Corporate-related costs of $0.1 million, as compared to negligible Corporate-related costs in 2008.
This overall increase in SG&A expenses resulted from restatement-related professional fees
totaling $3.3 million which were incurred in the second quarter of 2008 and impacted our Energy
segment. This increase was partially offset by a $0.4 million reduction in allocated Corporate
overhead costs, which primarily related to cost containment measures that included a reduction in payroll costs in 2008. SG&A expenses
expressed as a percentage of revenues increased to 11.0% for 2008 from 9.2% for 2007. This overall
increase in SG&A expenses expressed as a percentage of revenues is related to a combination of the
previously
mentioned restatement costs and the 8% decrease in revenues as compared to 2007.
- 23 -
In connection with the restatement, our Audit Committee has conducted an independent
investigation of the issues surrounding the restatement and retained outside advisors to assist.
We have also incurred restatement-related fees for work performed by our independent auditors and
other professional fees for work in responding to inquiries from the
SEC regarding the restatement. Restatement-related costs will continue to impact our SG&A expenses during the remainder
of 2008.
Engineering. SG&A expenses were $10.5 million for 2008 compared to $12.7 million for 2007,
reflecting a decrease of $2.2 million or 17%. SG&A expenses expressed as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 9.2% for 2008 from 12.8% for 2007. This decrease primarily related to cost
containment measures implemented in the Engineering segment and a reduction of $0.3 million in
allocated Corporate overhead costs, attributable to a decrease in
payroll costs. The decrease in
SG&A expenses expressed as a percentage of revenues is driven primarily by a combination of the
increase in revenues during 2008 and the effects of our cost
containment measures.
Energy. SG&A expenses were $8.2 million for 2008 compared to $4.4 million for 2007,
reflecting an increase of $3.8 million or 87%. SG&A expenses expressed as a percentage of revenues
increased to 14.3% for 2008 from 5.0% for 2007. This increase in SG&A expenses expressed as a
percentage of revenues is primarily attributable to a combination of the aforementioned 34%
decrease in revenues and $3.3 million in professional fees recognized in 2008 related to the
restatement of our consolidated financial statements.
Other Income/(Expense)
The other income and expense categories discussed below totaled $0.9 million of income for
2008 compared to $0.5 million of income for 2007.
Equity income from our unconsolidated subsidiaries produced income of $0.9 million for 2008
compared to $0.4 million for 2007. This increase was primarily related to new work orders being
performed by our unconsolidated Engineering joint venture operating in Iraq.
Our recurring interest expense reflected nominal amounts in 2008 and 2007 primarily due to our
being in a net invested position under our Unsecured Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) during
both periods. Interest income was $0.2 million and $0.1 million for 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Interest expense on unpaid taxes was $0.2 million for 2008 compared to a negligible amount of
reductions for 2007.
Our other, net income/(expense) was nominal for 2008 and 2007. These amounts primarily
include currency-related gains and losses.
Income Taxes
Our provisions for income taxes resulted in effective income tax rates of 43% and 45% for the
three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These rates reflect the change needed to
adjust from the full-year forecasted 2008 and 2007 effective income tax rates as of March 31, 2008
and 2007 to the full-year forecasted effective income tax rates as of June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. (See discussion under the heading Income Taxes in the section entitled Comparison
of Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.)

Comparisons of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2008 and 2007
In this six-month discussion, unless specified otherwise, all references to 2008 and 2007
relate to the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Revenues
Our revenues totaled $345.8 million for 2008 compared to $355.5 million for 2007, reflecting a
decrease of $9.7 million or 3%. This decrease was driven by a period-over-period reduction of 26%
in Energys revenues segment, partially offset by a period-over-period revenue growth of 18% in our
Engineering segment. The decrease in Energys revenue was primarily driven by a clients sale of
properties and the resulting termination of one of our major managed services contracts during the
third quarter of 2007 and the change in the scope and subsequent cancellation of another managed
services contract, offset partially by the revenue impact of a new managed services contract that
began in the third quarter of 2007. The 18% revenue growth in our Engineering segment primarily
related to an increase in work performed as support for the Department of Homeland Securitys
efforts to secure U.S. borders, an increase in work performed for our unconsolidated joint venture
operating in Iraq, an increase in our transportation-related revenues and the recognition of a
non-recurring project settlement.
Engineering. Revenues were $222.2 million for 2008 compared to $189.0 million for 2007,
reflecting an increase of $33.2 million or 18%. The following table presents Engineering revenues

The increase in our Engineering segments revenues for 2008 was primarily related to an
increase of $9.9 million in work performed as support for the Department of Homeland Securitys
efforts to secure U.S. borders, an increase of $9.1 million in work performed for our
unconsolidated joint venture operating in Iraq, an increase in our transportation-related revenues,
an increase of $1.9 million due to a non-recurring project settlement, and growth in most of our
other engineering practice areas. The increase in 2008 revenues was partially offset by a decrease in
project incentive awards of $2.6 million as compared to 2007.
Total revenues from FEMA were $49 million and $52 million for 2008 and 2007, respectively. As
a result of achieving certain performance levels on the FEMA Map Mod Program, we recognized
revenues from project incentive awards totaling $2.1 million and $2.5 million for 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The decreased project incentive awards on the FEMA Map Mod Program for 2008
represents a lower project incentive award pool as compared to 2007, while we achieved higher
performance levels on the tasks completed.
Energy. Revenues were $123.6 million for 2008 compared to $166.5 million for 2007, reflecting
a decrease of $42.9 million or 26%. The Energy segment serves both major and smaller independent
oil and gas producing companies in both the U.S and foreign markets.

The decrease in Energys domestic revenues for 2008 as compared to 2007 was primarily the
result of our managed services contract with Escambia Operating Company, LLC (Escambia) being
terminated in connection with Escambias sale of certain gas producing properties and the change in
the scope and subsequent cancellation of our managed services contract with Brooks Range Petroleum
Corporation. These decreases in revenues were offset partially by the effect of our managed
services contract with Double Eagle Petroleum, on which we began work during the third quarter of
2007. This contract was substantially completed during the first half of 2008. Also in our
domestic operations, one of our major managed services contracts was renegotiated in 2008 and
resulted in a significant reduction in revenue activity. International revenues increased
primarily as a result of the scheduled shut-down of liquefied natural gas facilities in Nigeria for
which we provided operations and maintenance services, coupled with more favorable pricing which
went into effect on this contract in the fourth quarter of 2007. These scheduled shut-down
activities generate significant revenue in short periods of time and typically do not recur until
the next scheduled shut-down. The 2008 shut-down activities were
completed during the second quarter of
2008.
Gross Profit
Our gross profit totaled $59.0 million for 2008 compared to $48.3 million for 2007, reflecting
an increase of $10.7 million or 22%. Gross profit included unallocated Corporate income of $1.0
million for 2008 versus $0.4 million of expense for 2007. Gross profit expressed as a percentage
of revenues increased to 17.1% for 2008 compared to 13.6% for 2007. The increase in gross profit
for 2008 is primarily attributable to our Engineering segments increased revenue volume compared
to 2007, a non-recurring project settlement of $1.9 million, and a decrease in total general
liability insurance costs of $1.7 million due to higher claims activity in 2007. Additionally, we
experienced favorable claims development of $1.4 million related to our self-insured professional
liability reserves during 2008. An increase in workers compensation costs of $0.7 million,
related primarily to higher claims activity in our Energy segment, served to partially offset our
overall increase in gross profit for 2008.
Direct labor and subcontractor costs are major components in our cost of work performed due to
the project-related nature of our service businesses. Direct labor costs expressed as a percentage
of revenues were 32.2% for 2008 compared to 28.4% for 2007, while subcontractor costs expressed as
a percentage of revenues were 20.6% and 27.5% for 2008 and 2007, respectively. In the Energy
segment, we used fewer subcontractors during 2008, while in 2007 we
incurred more subcontractor costs in
connection with drilling exploratory
wells for our customers on certain managed services contracts. Expressed as a percentage of
revenues, direct labor decreased and subcontractor costs increased in the Engineering segment
period over period due to project mix.
- 26 -
Engineering. Gross profit was $43.7 million for 2008 compared to $37.5 million for 2007,
reflecting an increase of $6.2 million or 16%. The increase in gross profit for 2008 is primarily
attributable to improved revenue volume compared to 2007 and the non-recurring project settlement
of $1.9 million. Engineerings gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenues was 19.7% and
19.9% for 2008 and 2007, respectively. Gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenues
remained consistent even with the decrease in project incentive awards of $2.9 million as compared
to 2007.
Energy. Gross profit was $14.3 million for 2008 compared to $11.2 million for 2007,
reflecting an increase of $3.1 million or 28%. Gross profit expressed as a percentage of revenues
increased to 11.6% for 2008 compared to 6.7% for 2007. Gross profit expressed as a percentage of
revenues was favorably impacted by a decrease of $2.0 million in self-insured general liability
costs, partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million in workers compensation expense. In our
domestic operations, the 2008 gross profit amounts associated with the aforementioned managed services
projects which experienced revenue reductions were relatively
consistent with the 2007 gross profit amounts.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Our SG&A expenses totaled $35.7 million for 2008 compared to $34.7 million for 2007,
reflecting a increase of $1.0 million or 3%. Included in SG&A for 2008 and 2007 were unallocated
Corporate-related costs of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. This overall increase in
SG&A expenses resulted from restatement-related professional fees totaling $4.2 million which were
incurred in the first half of 2008 and impacted our Energy segment. This increase was partially
offset by a $1.1 million reduction in allocated Corporate overhead costs, which primarily related
to cost containment measures that included a reduction in payroll costs and professional fees of $1.0 million for 2008. SG&A expenses
expressed as a percentage of revenues increased to 10.3% for 2008 from 9.8% for 2007. This overall
increase in SG&A expenses expressed as a percentage of revenues is related to a combination of the
previously mentioned restatement costs and the 3% decrease in revenues as compared to 2007.
Engineering. SG&A expenses were $21.3 million for 2008 compared to $24.3 million for 2007,
reflecting a decrease of $3.0 million or 13%. SG&A expenses expressed as a percentage of revenues
decreased to 9.6% for 2008 from 12.9% for 2007. This decrease primarily related to cost
containment measures implemented in the Engineering segment and a reduction of $0.9 million in
allocated Corporate overhead costs, which is attributable to a decrease in payroll costs and
professional fees. The decrease in SG&A expenses expressed as a percentage of revenues is driven
primarily by a combination of the increase in revenues during 2008
and the aforementioned effects of cost containment.
Energy. SG&A expenses were $14.2 million for 2008 compared to $10.3 million for 2007,
reflecting an increase of $3.9 million or 38%. SG&A expenses expressed as a percentage of revenues
increased to 11.5% for 2008 from 6.2% for 2007. This increase in SG&A expenses expressed as a
percentage of revenues is primarily attributable to a combination of the aforementioned 26%
decrease in revenues and $4.2 million in professional fees recognized in 2008 related to the
restatement of our consolidated financial statements, partially offset by the previously mentioned
decreases in Corporate overhead costs.
Other Income/(Expense)
The other income and expense categories discussed below totaled $1.7 million of income for
2008 compared to $0.4 million of income for 2007.
- 27 -
Equity income from our unconsolidated subsidiaries produced income of $1.5 million for 2008
compared to $0.7 million for 2007. This increase was primarily related to new work orders being
performed by our unconsolidated Engineering joint venture operating in Iraq.
Our recurring interest expense decreased to a nominal amount in 2008 compared to $0.3 million
for 2007 primarily due to our being in a net invested position under our Unsecured Credit Agreement
(Credit Agreement) during 2008. We were in a net borrowed position under our Credit Agreement
for a portion of the corresponding period in 2007. Interest income was $0.4 million and $0.2
million for 2008 and 2007, respectively. Interest expense on unpaid taxes was $0.3 million for
2008 compared to $0.1 million for 2007.
Our other, net income/(expense) was nominal for 2008 and 2007. These amounts primarily
include currency-related gains and losses.
Income Taxes
Our
provisions for income taxes resulted in effective income tax rates of 42% and 46% for the
six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in our full-year 2008
forecasted effective income tax rate as of June 30, 2008 was the result of higher forecasted
domestic taxable income in 2008, which is taxed at a lower rate than our foreign operations and
improved profitability in certain international jurisdictions.
The variance between the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% and our full-year forecasted
effective income tax rates for these periods is primarily due to taxes on foreign income, which we
are not able to offset with U.S. foreign tax credits, and to foreign losses with no U.S. tax
benefit. Our effective rate is also impacted by state income taxes, permanent items that are not
deductible for U.S. tax purposes, and Nigerian income taxes that are levied on a deemed profit
basis.

For our Engineering segment, funded backlog consists of that portion of
uncompleted work represented by signed contracts and/or approved task orders, and for which the
procuring agency has appropriated and allocated the funds to pay for the work. Total backlog
incrementally includes that portion of contract value for which options have not yet been exercised
or task orders have not been approved. We refer to this incremental contract value as unfunded
backlog. U.S. government agencies, and many state and local governmental agencies, operate under
annual fiscal appropriations and fund various contracts only on an incremental basis. In addition,
our clients may terminate contracts at will or not exercise option years. Our ability to realize
revenues from our backlog depends on the availability of funding for various federal, state and
local
government agencies; therefore, no assurance can be given that all backlog will be realized.
- 28 -
In the Energy segment, our managed services contracts typically have one to five-year terms
and up to ninety-day cancellation provisions. Our labor services contracts in the Energy segment
typically have one to three-year terms and up to thirty-day cancellation provisions. For these
managed services and labor contracts, backlog includes our forecast of the next twelve months
revenues based on existing contract terms and operating conditions. For our managed services
contracts, fixed management fees related to the contract term beyond twelve months are not included
in backlog. Backlog related to fixed-price contracts within the Energy segment is based on the
related contract value. On a periodic basis, backlog on fixed-price contracts is reduced as
related revenue is recognized. Oil and gas industry merger, acquisition and divestiture
transactions affecting our clients can result in increases and decreases in our Energy segments
backlog.
Engineering
As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, approximately $62 million and $57 million of our
funded backlog, respectively, related to the $750 million FEMA Map Mod Program contract to assist
FEMA in conducting a large-scale overhaul of the nations flood hazard maps, which commenced late
in the first quarter of 2004. This contract includes data collection and analysis, map production,
product delivery, and effective program management; and seeks to produce digital flood hazard data,
provide access to flood hazard data and maps via the Internet, and implement a nationwide
state-of-the-art infrastructure that enables all-hazard mapping. Although we expect additional
funding authorizations, we do not anticipate realizing all of our unfunded FEMA backlog balance
(totaling $262 million at June 30, 2008) through the contract award period, which concludes March
10, 2009. We expect work and revenue related to authorizations prior March 10, 2009 to continue
for approximately three years. In the future, we may be required to reduce our FEMA backlog as
better estimates become available. During the second half of 2008, we will compete for contracts
in FEMAs planned Risk Mapping, Analysis and Planning MAP Program (Risk MAP Program), which is
intended to be the successor to the FEMA Map Mod Program.
Energy
The Energy segments backlog for 2008 was lower as compared to December 31, 2007. Several new
onshore managed services projects are currently in the discussion and proposal stages.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have three principal sources of liquidity to fund our operations: our existing cash and
cash equivalents, cash generated by operations, and our available capacity under our Credit
Agreement. In addition, certain customers have provided us with cash advances for use as working
capital related to those customers contracts. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had
$42.5 million and $22.1 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents and $100.7 million and
$84.6 million in working capital, respectively. Our available capacity under our $60 million
Credit Agreement, after consideration of outstanding letters of credit, was approximately $49.3
million (82% availability) at both June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007. Our current ratios were
1.66 to 1 and 1.56 to 1 at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.
Our cash flows are primarily impacted from period to period by fluctuations in working
capital. Factors such as our contract mix, commercial terms, and delays in the start of projects
may impact our working capital. In line with industry practice, we accumulate costs during a given
month and then bill those costs in the following month for many of our contracts. While salary
costs associated with the contracts are paid on a bi-weekly basis, certain subcontractor costs are
generally not paid until we receive payment from our customers. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31 2007, $17.0 million and $15.3 million, respectively, of
our accounts payable balance comprised invoices with pay-when-paid terms.
- 29 -
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities was $22.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008
and $13.9 million for the same period in 2007.
Our cash provided by operating activities for 2008 resulted from net income of $14.4 million,
mainly as a result of our Engineering segments strong performance and decreases in our Energy
segments receivables and net unbilled revenues balances during the first half of 2008. These
decreases are attributable to the reduced revenue volume in the onshore managed services projects.
These improvements were offset by a decrease in our Energy segments accounts payable at June 30,
2008, which was again due to a decrease in activity related to certain of our Energy segments
managed services contracts, as one of our major managed services projects was substantially
completed during the quarter.
Our total days sales outstanding in receivables and unbilled revenues, net of billings in
excess, increased in both segments, and on a consolidated basis from 84 days at year-end 2007 to 91
days at the end of the second quarter of 2008. This 2008 increase in days sales outstanding was
primarily driven by the 32% decrease in revenues in our Energy segment for the quarter ended June
30, 2008 as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2007, while our Energy segments combined
accounts receivables and net unbilled revenues only decreased by 17% at June 30, 2008 as compared
to December 31, 2007.
Our cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily
reflected net income of $7.6 million and a decrease in prepaid income taxes. Our increase in
receivables during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was more than offset by a decrease in net
unbilled revenues.
Cash Used in Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities was $2.5 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our cash used in investing activities related entirely to
capital expenditures, with the majority of our 2008 additions pertaining to office equipment and
leasehold improvements related to office openings or relocations, computer software purchases, and
vehicles purchased for an Energy project in Nigeria. We also acquire various assets through
operating leases, which reduce the level of capital expenditures that would otherwise be necessary
to operate both segments of our business.
Cash Provided by/(Used in) Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities was nominal for the six months ended June 30, 2008 as
compared to cash used in financing activities of $11.3 million for the same period in 2007. The
cash used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily reflected net
repayments of borrowings totaling $11.0 million under our Credit Agreement. In addition, our book
overdrafts decreased $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Payments on capital
lease obligations totaled $0.2 million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively. Proceeds from the exercise of stock options were $0.2 million and $1.0 million
for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
Credit Agreement
Our Credit Agreement is with a consortium of financial institutions and provides for a
commitment of $60 million through October 1, 2011. The commitment includes the sum of the
principal amount of revolving credit loans outstanding and the aggregate face value of outstanding
standby letters of credit (LOCs) not to
exceed $20.0 million. As of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, there were no borrowings
outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the outstanding LOCs were $10.7 million as of both
dates.
- 30 -
The Credit Agreement provides for us to borrow at the banks prime interest rate or at LIBOR
plus an applicable margin determined by our leverage ratio (based on a measure of indebtedness to
EBITDA). The Credit Agreement requires us to meet minimum equity, leverage, interest and rent
coverage, and current ratio covenants. If any of these financial covenants or certain other
conditions of borrowing is not achieved, under certain circumstances, after a cure period, the
banks may demand the repayment of all borrowings outstanding and/or require deposits to cover the
outstanding letters of credit.
Financial Condition & Liquidity
We plan to utilize our cash and borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement for, among other
things, short-term working capital needs, including the satisfaction of contractual obligations and
payment of taxes, to fund capital expenditures, and to support strategic opportunities that
management identifies. We continue to pursue growth in our core businesses, and are specifically
seeking to expand our Engineering operations through organic growth and strategic acquisitions that
align with our core competencies. We consider investments, acquisitions and geographic expansion
as components of our growth strategy and intend to use both existing cash and the Credit Agreement
to fund such endeavors. We also periodically review our segments, and our service offerings within
those segments, for financial performance and growth potential. As such, we may also consider
streamlining our current organizational structure if we conclude that such actions would further
increase our operating efficiency and strengthen our competitive position over the long term.
As part of our evaluation of strategic alternatives, we engaged an investment banker to assist
our Board of Directors in pursuing the sale of our Energy segment. This activity commenced during
July 2007. Discussions with several potential buyers were in process during the second half of
2007; however, all substantive discussions related to a possible sale ceased during the first
quarter of 2008 due to our Energy segments revenue-related restatement. We have resumed our
evaluation of our strategic alternatives, including consideration of a potential sale of the Energy
segment, during the third quarter of 2008. If we choose to consummate a sale of the Energy
segment, any proceeds realized would be reinvested in our Engineering segment in order to continue
to grow that business.
If we commit to funding future acquisitions, we may need to restructure our Credit Agreement,
add a temporary credit facility, and/or pursue other financing vehicles in order to execute such
transactions. We may also explore issuing equity in the Company to fund some portion of an
acquisition. After giving effect to the foregoing, we believe that the combination of our cash and
cash equivalents, cash generated from operations and our existing Credit Agreement will be
sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenditure requirements for the foreseeable future.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair
value, establishes guidelines for measuring fair value and expands disclosures regarding fair value
measurements. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements but rather eliminates
inconsistencies in guidance found in various prior accounting pronouncements. In February 2008,
FASB Staff Position No. (FSP) 157-2 was issued, which defers the effective date of SFAS 157 for
nonfinancial assets and liabilities until the first interim period in fiscal years beginning after
November 15, 2008. We are assessing the impact of this statement on our consolidated financial
statements and will adopt the provisions of SFAS 157 on January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations. SFAS
141(R) will significantly change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS 141(R), an
acquiring entity will be required to recognize, with limited exceptions, all the assets acquired
and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date fair value. SFAS 141(R) will
change the accounting treatment for certain specific acquisition related items including, among
other items: (1) expensing acquisition related costs as incurred, (2) valuing noncontrolling
interests at fair value at the acquisition date, and (3) expensing restructuring costs associated
with an acquired business. SFAS 141(R) also includes a substantial number of new disclosure
requirements. SFAS 141(R) is to be applied prospectively to business combinations for which the
acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or
after December 15, 2008. We will adopt the provisions of SFAS 141(R) on January 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated
Financial Statements. SFAS 160 establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the
noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies
that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary (minority interest) is an ownership interest in the
consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements and
separate from the parent companys equity. Among other requirements, this statement requires
consolidated net income to be reported at amounts that include the amounts attributable to both the
parent and the noncontrolling interest. It also requires disclosure, on the face of the
Consolidated Statement of Income, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the
parent and to the noncontrolling interest. SFAS 160 is effective for the first interim period in
fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. We are assessing the impact of this
statement on our consolidated financial statements and will adopt the provisions of SFAS 160 on
January 1, 2009.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There were no material changes in the exposure to market risk disclosed in our Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with participation of our management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated our disclosure controls and procedures, as
such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the Exchange Act), as of June 30, 2008. This evaluation considered various procedures
designed to ensure that information we disclose in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange
Act is recorded, processed,
- 32 -
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer, as
appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based upon that evaluation,
our Chief Executive Officer and Acting Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2008. Notwithstanding this
determination, our management has concluded that the financial statements included in this Form
10-Q fairly present in all material respects our financial position, results of operations and cash
flows for the periods presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the
United States (GAAP).
A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in
internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a
material misstatement of the companys annual or interim financial statements would not be
prevented or detected on a timely basis. Management identified the following material weaknesses
as of June 30, 2008:
|
1. |
|
We did not maintain effective controls over the posting of manual journal entries.
Specifically, appropriately experienced personnel did not review manual journal entries in
sufficient detail to identify accounting errors associated with manual revenue accruals
within our Energy Segments domestic onshore managed services projects. This control
deficiency resulted in the misstatement of our revenue and unbilled revenue accounts and
required restatement to the previously issued unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements as described in Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements included in this Form 10-Q. Additionally, this control deficiency could result
in a misstatement in the aforementioned accounts that would result in a material
misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be
prevented or detected. Accordingly, we have determined that this control deficiency
constitutes a material weakness. |
|
|
2. |
|
We did not maintain effective project accounting related controls, including
monitoring, over our Energy Segments domestic onshore managed services projects.
Specifically, we did not have a complement of operations and accounting personnel reviewing
project profitability or unbilled revenue realizability in sufficient detail to identify
the accounting errors. These control deficiencies resulted in the misstatement of our
revenue and unbilled revenue accounts and required restatement to previously issued
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as described in Note 2 to the
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q.
Additionally, these control deficiencies, when aggregated, could result in a misstatement
in the aforementioned accounts that would result in a material misstatement to the annual
or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
Accordingly, we have determined that these control deficiencies, in the aggregate,
constitute a material weakness. |
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as discussed below, there was no change in our internal control over financial
reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that
occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, and that have materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
- 33 -
Plan for Remediation
We believe the steps described below, some of which we have already taken as noted herein, together
with others that are ongoing or that we plan to take, will remediate the material weaknesses
discussed above:

We improved our manual journal entry process within our Energy segment by requiring
representatives from Finance and Project Accounting to review manual revenue related
journal entries, thus further segregating the review and approval functions; updating and
then re-communicating our revised policies and procedures; and training personnel on manual
revenue related journal entry requirements (began in the first quarter of 2008). |

|
We enhanced our reviews of project profitability and unbilled revenue realizability on
all Energy segment domestic onshore managed services projects by improving and then
re-communicating our policies and procedures. Improvements included, but were not limited
to, standardizing the processes for gathering, reporting and reviewing project financials;
requiring the appropriate operations and financial personnel review of this financial
information; and requiring documentation and distribution of the project profitability
analyses to Corporate Finance (began in the first quarter of 2008). In addition, in the
first quarter of 2008, we conducted training on revenue recognition requirements. |

We re-emphasized to our Energy segment senior management the need to focus on effective
operations and financial personnel collaboration as a means of mitigating significant risks
and strengthening our control environment. In this regard, we have stressed the importance
of operations and financial personnel collaborating and interacting during the monthly
accounting close and financial reporting processes (began in the first quarter of 2008). |

|
We are in the process of reviewing staff competencies within our Energy segment and
will use the results of that review in our overall financial statement risk assessment
process. This process will include an assessment of the knowledge and experience of
management and supervisory personnel within the Energy segments Finance Department (began
in the second quarter of 2008). |

|
We made personnel changes that strengthen the control environment within the Energy
segments Finance Department. Specifically, we hired a Vice President, Controller and
Chief Accounting Officer and a Project Accountant for the Energy Segment, and terminated
the Energy segments CFO and Manager of Project Accounting in the second quarter of 2008.
With assistance from the new Vice President, Controller and Chief Accounting Officer, we
have hired a new Manager of Project Accounting and we began working to fill additional financial
positions (began in the second quarter of 2008). |
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
We have been named as a defendant or co-defendant in legal proceedings wherein damages are
claimed. Such proceedings are not uncommon to our business. We believe that we have recognized
adequate provisions for probable and reasonably estimable liabilities associated with these
proceedings, and that their ultimate resolutions will not have a material impact on our
consolidated financial position or annual results of operations or cash flows.

Class Action Complaints. Subsequent to our February 2008 announcement of our intention to
restate our financial statements for the first three quarters of 2007, four separate complaints
were filed by holders of our common stock against us, as well as certain of our current and former
officers, in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The
complaints in these lawsuits purport to have been made on behalf of a class of plaintiffs
consisting of purchasers of our common stock between March 19, 2007 and February 22, 2008. The
complaints alleged that we and certain of our current and former officers made materially false and
misleading statements in violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. The plaintiffs seek unspecified compensatory
damages, attorneys fees, and other fees and costs.
In June 2008, all of the cases were consolidated into a single action. The lead plaintiff was
appointed during July 2008; following the approval of its selection of counsel, a consolidated
amended complaint will likely be filed. We intend to defend this lawsuit vigorously.
