Explanatory Paragraph
The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of
Integrated Electrical Services, Inc. (we, us, our, or the Company) is to amend our
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, filed on August 10, 2009, to
correct the accounting treatment previously accorded certain transactions and to restate our
consolidated balance
sheets as of June 30, 2009, and our consolidated statements of operations, stockholders equity,
and cash flows for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009.
These corrections primarily included recording of additional charges for certain accruals, medical
claims and certain other expenses, and resultant tax effects, that should have been accrued in
previous quarters.
Additional information on the effect of the correction to our financial statements as a result of
this restatement is contained in Note 9 Restatement of Financial Statements in this report
In addition, the Company has amended Item 4, Controls and Procedures, to update the disclosure
regarding disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting.
As a result of the restatement, the Company has determined it to be necessary to amend the Original
Form 10-Q. This Amendment No. 1 amends and restates in its entirety Part I, Items 1, 2 and 4 and
Part II, Item 6 of the Original Form 10-Q. This Amendment No. 1 continues to reflect circumstances
as of the date of the filing of the Original Form 10-Q and does not reflect events occurring after
the filing of the Original Form 10-Q, or modify or update those disclosures in any way, except as
required to reflect the effects of the restatement as described in Note 9 to the accompanying
interim consolidated financial statements

otherwise specified herein, to our subsidiaries.
DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Amendment No. 1 to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A 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 projects, customers or lead to lower margins
on new contracts; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to successfully manage construction projects; |
|
|
|
|
errors in estimating revenue and progress to date on percentage-of-completion
contracts; |
|
|
|
|
failure to recognize revenue from work that is yet to be performed on
uncompleted contracts and/or from work that has been contracted but not started due to
changes in contractual commitments; |
|
|
|
|
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 related to our work and potential for
liabilities associated with vehicle accidents; |
|
|
|
|
success in transferring, renewing and obtaining electrical and construction licenses; |
|
|
|
|
the possibility that our restructuring program will not be successfully executed; |
|
|
|
|
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 that we
have sold or closed;
|
4
|
|
|
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; |
|
|
|
|
increases in bad debt expense, days sales outstanding due to liquidity problems
and potential bankruptcy faced by our customers; |
|
|
|
|
credit and capital market conditions, including changes in interest rates that
affect the cost and availability of construction financing and mortgages, and our customers
to retain existing financing which could lead to project cancellations; |
|
|
|
|
changes in the assumptions made regarding future events used to value our stock
options and performance-based stock awards; |
|
|
|
|
uncertainties inherent in estimating future operating results, including revenues,
operating income and cash flow; |
|
|
|
|
disagreements with taxing authorities with regard to tax positions we have adopted; |
|
|
|
|
complications associated with the incorporation of new accounting, control and operating
procedures; |
|
|
|
|
the financial impact of new or proposed accounting regulations; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to fully utilize our current and future operating, accounting and
financial systems; |
|
|
|
|
the ability of our controlling shareholder to take action not aligned with our other
shareholders; |
|
|
|
|
the sale or disposition of the shares of our common stock held by our majority
shareholder, which, under certain circumstances, might trigger change of control provisions
in contracts such as employment agreements, supply agreements, and financing and surety
arrangements; |
|
|
|
|
the possibility that certain of our tax net operating losses may be restricted
or reduced in a change of control; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to retain our financing agreements and surety arrangements under a
change in control; and |
|
|
|
|
the possibility that investments we have made in other companies will become
impaired due to performance or liquidity problems. |
You should understand that the foregoing, as well as other risk factors discussed in Amendment No.
1 to our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2008, could cause future
outcomes to differ materially from those experienced previously or from those expressed in this
quarterly report and our aforementioned Amendment No. 1 to our annual report on Form 10-K/A. 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 Amendment No. 1 to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A 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, 2009
(UNAUDITED)
1. BUSINESS
Integrated Electrical Services, Inc., a Delaware corporation, was founded in June 1997 to create a
leading national provider of electrical services, focusing primarily on the commercial, industrial,
residential, low voltage and service and maintenance markets. 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.
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 Amendment No. 1 to our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year
ended September 30, 2008, with the exception of the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements and SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events, as
described in the paragraphs that follow. Please refer to the Notes to Amendment No. 1 to our
annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2008, when reviewing our interim
financial results set forth herein.
On October 1, 2008, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS
157). SFAS 157 enhances the guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. In
addition, SFAS 157 expands information about the extent to which companies measure assets and
liabilities at fair value, the information used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value
measurements on earnings. This statement applies whenever other standards require (or permit)
assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value, but it does not expand the use of fair value in
any new circumstances. On February 12, 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued FASB Staff Position No. 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 (FSP 157-2) that
amends SFAS 157 to delay the effective date for all non-financial assets and non-financial
liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial
statements on a recurring basis. FSP 157-2 defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS 157 on October 1, 2008 for financial assets and
liabilities measured on a recurring basis. See Note 7 for additional information on our adoption
of SFAS 157.
Effective October 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities
to elect to measure eligible items at fair value at specified dates. We have not elected the fair
value option for any eligible items.
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, receivables
from related parties, retainage receivables, notes receivable, accounts payable, a line of credit,
a note payable issued to finance an insurance policy, 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.
On October 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 created a
single model to address accounting for uncertain income tax positions and established a minimum
recognition threshold a tax position must meet before being recognized in the financial statements.
The evaluation of a tax position under FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is the
recognition process to determine if it is more likely than not that a tax position will be
sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority, based on the technical merits of
the position. The second step is a measurement process whereby a tax position that meets the more
likely than not recognition threshold is calculated to determine the amount of benefit/expense to
recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of
benefit/expense that is more likely than not of being realized upon ultimate settlement.
10
As the result of the adoption of FIN 48 and recognition of the cumulative effect of the adoption of
the new accounting principal, we recorded an $8.2 million decrease in contingent tax liabilities.
The reduction of the contingent tax liabilities resulted in a $7.8 million decrease in goodwill as
prescribed by Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under
the Bankruptcy Code (SOP 90-7) and a $0.4 million decrease in retained deficit. Upon the
adoption of FIN 48, the total liability for unrecognized tax benefits was $6.2 million, excluding
accrued interest and penalties, which are discussed below. The liabilities for unrecognized tax
benefits are a component of Other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
The reversal of the liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits would result in a $6.1 million
adjustment that would first go to reduce goodwill, then intangible assets and then additional
paid-in capital as prescribed by SOP 90-7, as these represent amounts accrued prior to our
emergence from bankruptcy. The remaining $0.1 million would result in a decrease in the provision
for income tax expense.
We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of the provision
for income taxes. Upon the adoption of FIN 48, we had approximately $0.4 million in accrued
interest and penalties included in liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits. The accrued interest
and penalties are a component of Other non-current liabilities in our consolidated balance
sheets. The reversal of the accrued interest and penalties would result in a $0.2 million
adjustment that would first go to reduce goodwill, then intangible assets and then additional
paid-in capital as prescribed by SOP 90-7, as these represent amounts accrued prior to our
emergence from bankruptcy. The remaining $0.2 million would result in a decrease in the provision
for income tax expense.
As of June 30, 2009, we have $6.6 million of unrecognized tax benefit of which $6.1 million would
first go to reduce goodwill, then intangible assets and then additional paid-in capital as
prescribed by SOP 90-7, as these represent amounts accrued prior to our emergence from bankruptcy.
The remaining $0.5 million would result in a decrease in the provision for income tax expense. We
anticipate that approximately $0.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits, including accrued
interest, may reverse in the next twelve months. The reversal is predominately due to the
expiration of the statutes of limitation for unrecognized tax benefits and the settlement of a
state audit.
We had approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million accrued for the payment of interest and
penalties at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. We recognize interest and penalties related to
unrecognized tax benefits as part of the provision for income taxes.
We are currently not under federal audit by the Internal Revenue Service. The tax years ended
September 30, 2006, and forward are subject to audit as are tax years prior to September 30, 2006,
to the extent of unutilized net operating losses generated in those years. Currently, one of our
business units is under a state audit for the tax years ended September 30, 2002 and 2003.
RECLASSIFICATIONS
As of March 31, 2009, we reclassified $0.4 million of amortization expenses previously classified
as selling, general and administrative charges for the three month period ended December 31, 2008,
to restructuring expense. This reclassification was based on our assessment that the acceleration
of this amortization expense was due to our reorganization and rebranding efforts, which is a
restructuring cost. This reclassification did not affect our prior period results of operations.
LONG-TERM RECEIVABLE
In March 2009, we transferred $4.0 million of trade accounts receivable to long-term receivable
because the related construction project entered bankruptcy. At the same time, we reserved the
costs in excess of billings of $0.3 million associated with this receivable. We have liens filed
against the project and currently believe that the outstanding receivables is collectible.
However, there are significant risks involved in bankruptcy proceedings, and we may have to record
additional reserves. We will continue to monitor the bankruptcy proceedings and evaluate
collectability.
USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted
accounting principles (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 for construction in progress. Other estimates consist of
allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence reserves, fair value
assumptions in analyzing goodwill and long-lived asset impairments and adjustments from fresh-start
accounting, realizability of deferred tax assets, self-insured claims liabilities, and estimated
forfeiture rates and projected earnings used to measure stock-based compensation awards.
11
SEASONALITY AND QUARTERLY FLUCTUATIONS
Our results of operations are seasonal, depending on weather trends, with higher revenues typically
generated during spring and summer months, which coincide with our third and fourth fiscal
quarters, and lower revenues typically generated during fall and winter months, which coincide with
our first and second fiscal quarters. 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.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141 (revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS
141(R)), which replaces SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations (SFAS 141). SFAS 141(R) requires
an acquiring entity to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction
at the acquisition-date fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS 141(R) eliminates the step
acquisition model, changes the recognition of contingent consideration from being recognized when
it is probable to being recognized at the time of acquisition, disallows the capitalization of
transaction costs, and changes when restructuring charges related to acquisitions can be
recognized. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008.
Under SFAS 141 and SOP 90-7, which were in effect at the time of our financial reorganization,
reductions to our income tax valuation allowance recorded prior to April 30, 2006, would reduce
goodwill to the extent thereof, then reduce other intangible assets, and then reduce additional
paid-in capital. Beginning October 1, 2009, under the provisions of SFAS 141(R), reductions in the
valuation allowance attributable to all periods, if any should occur, will be recorded as an
adjustment to our income tax expense. We believe the impact of the change will be significant.
For example, had SFAS 141(R) been effective for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2008, our
provision for income taxes from continuing operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 would
decrease from $1.4 million to $0.3 million and the provision for income taxes from continuing
operations for nine months ended June 30, 2009 would remain unchanged.
On June 30, 2009, we adopted FSP No. FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value
of Financial Instruments, (FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1). FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 requires a publicly
traded company to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments whenever it
issues summarized financial information for interim reporting periods. Such disclosures include the
fair value of all financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate that value,
whether recognized or not recognized in the statement of financial position; the related carrying
amount of these financial instruments; and the methods and significant assumptions used to estimate
the fair value. Other than the required disclosures, the adoption of FSP FAS 107-1/APB 28-1 had no
impact on the Financial Statements.
On June 30, 2009, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events (SFAS 165). SFAS
165 requires the disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events and
the basis for that date. We have evaluated subsequent events through August 10, 2009, the date of
issuance of our financial statements.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock-based compensation consists of expenses related to employee stock option awards, restricted
stock grants and performance-based restricted stock grants (see Note 6). We recognize stock-based
compensation expense in a pro-rata manner based on the value of stock-based payment awards that are
expected to vest, reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (SFAS
123(R)) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised in subsequent
periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.
SFAS 123(R) does not require a specific valuation model to measure the value of stock options, and
either a binomial or the Black-Scholes model may be used. We used a binomial option pricing model
to measure the fair value of stock options awarded in our 2008 and 2009 fiscal years. We believe
the binomial pricing model is a more precise measure of the value of our stock options; however,
the difference in the values between the two methods was not material for the options that we
granted.

2. STRATEGIC ACTIONS
The 2007 Restructuring Plan
During the 2008 fiscal year, we completed the restructuring of our operations from the previous
geographic structure into three major lines of business: Commercial, Industrial and Residential.
This operational restructuring (the 2007 Restructuring Plan) was part of our long-term strategic
plan to reduce our cost structure, reposition the business to better serve our customers,
strengthen financial controls and, as a result, position us to implement a market-based growth
strategy. The 2007 Restructuring Plan consolidated certain leadership roles, administrative
support functions and eliminated redundant functions that were previously performed at 27 division
locations. Since the beginning of the 2007 Restructuring Plan in June 2007, we recorded a total of
$5.6 million of restructuring charges.
As part of the restructuring charges, during the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized
$2.2 million, $0.5 million and $0.2 million in severance costs at our Commercial, Industrial and
Residential segments, respectively. In addition to the severance costs described above, during the
nine months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred other charges of approximately $2.6 million
predominately for consulting services associated with the 2007 Restructuring Plan. During the nine
months ended June 30, 2009, we wrote off $0.1 million of leasehold improvements at an operating
location that we closed.
The 2009 Restructuring Plan
In the first quarter of our 2009 fiscal year, we began a new restructuring program (the 2009
Restructuring Plan) that is designed to consolidate operations within our three segments. The
2009 Restructuring Plan is the next level of our business optimization strategy. Our plan is 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 year to further leverage our
resources. Under the 2009 Restructuring Plan, we expect to incur pre-tax restructuring charges,
including severance benefits and facility consolidations and closings, of approximately $3.0
million to $5.0 million, which will be implemented over approximately 12 months. We are also
accelerating our trade name amortization during 2009 fiscal year totaling $1.6 million. These
charges have been identified within the Restructuring Charges caption in our consolidated
statements of operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred $0.6 million
associated with the 2009 Restructuring Plan, of which $0.1 million, $0.1 million, $0.4 million, and
$0.0 million was charged to our Commercial, Industrial and Residential segments and our Corporate

June 30, 2009, we incurred $3.8

Exit or Disposal Activities
On March 28, 2006, based on the recommendation of the Board of Directors, we committed to an exit
plan with respect to five underperforming subsidiaries in our Commercial and Industrial segments.
The exit plan committed to a shut-down or consolidation of the operations of these subsidiaries or,
alternatively, the sale or other disposition of the subsidiaries, whichever came sooner. The exit
plan is complete for the five subsidiaries that we selected to exit in March 2006, and the
operations of these subsidiaries substantially ceased as of September 30, 2006. In June 2007, we
shut down our Mid-States Electric division, located in Jackson, Tennessee. Mid-States was part of
our Commercial segment prior to being classified as discontinued. In August 2008, we shut down our
Haymaker division, located in Birmingham, Alabama. Haymaker was part of our Industrial segment
prior to being classified as discontinued.
The assets, liabilities and operating results for each of these shut-down entities have been
reclassified to discontinued operations for both current and prior periods. Remaining net working
capital related to these subsidiaries was $0.2 million and $1.5 million at June 30, 2009, and
September 30, 2008, respectively As a result of inherent uncertainty in the exit plan and the
monetization of these subsidiaries working capital, we could experience additional losses of
working capital. At June 30, 2009, we believe we have recorded adequate reserves to reflect the
net realizable value of the working capital; however, subsequent events may impact our ability to
collect.
We have included the results of operations related to these business units in discontinued
operations for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.

For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we incurred interest expense of $1.3 million and
$1.4 million, respectively. Interest expense includes amortization of deferred financing charges
of $0.1 million and 0.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
For the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we incurred interest expense of $3.4 million and
$7.5 million, respectively. Interest expense includes amortization of deferred financing charges
of $0.2 million and $1.7 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively,
including prepayment penalties of $2.1 million incurred during December 2007.
The Tontine Capital Partners 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 proceeds of the
Tontine Term Loan, together with cash on hand, were used to fund the repayment of the Eton Park
Term Loan (defined below). 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. 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.
Camden Note Payable
On August 1, 2008, we financed two insurance policies with a $4.6 million note payable (the 2008
Camden Note Payable) from Camden Premium Finance, Inc. (Camden), bearing interest at 4.59%,
through July 1, 2010. Under the terms of the Camden Note Payable, we are to make thirteen equal
payments of $243,525 (including principal and interest) beginning September 1, 2008 until September
1, 2009, followed by ten equal payments of $167,589 (including principal and interest). On April
1, 2009, we terminated coverage on one of the two insurance policies. This lowered the payments on
the 2008 Camden Note Payable from April 1, 2009 through September 1, 2009 to $129,484, while
leaving the payments after September 1, 2009 unchanged.
On April 1, 2009, we financed a third insurance policy with a $1.2 million note payable (the 2009
Camden Note Payable and together with the 2008 Camden Note Payable, the Camden Notes Payable)
from Camden, bearing interest at 4.59%, through June 1, 2010. Under the terms of the 2009 Camden
Note Payable, we are to make fourteen equal payments of $91,595 (including principal and interest)
beginning May 1, 2009 until June 1, 2010.
The Camden Notes Payable are collateralized by the gross unearned premiums on the respective
insurance policies and any payments on account of loss under such policies. As of June 30, 2009,
we have a combined remaining liability of $3.4 million under the Camden Notes Payable which
reflects future principal payments.
The Revolving Credit Facility
On May 12, 2006, we entered into an agreement, as amended (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 9, 2008, we renegotiated the terms of our Revolving Credit Facility
and entered into an amended agreement with the same financial institutions. The Revolving Credit
Facility provides access to revolving borrowings in the aggregate amount of up to $60.0 million.
At June 30, 2009, we had $24.0 million in letters of credit issued against the Revolving Credit
Facility and $11.8 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility.
15
The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by our subsidiaries and secured by first priority liens
on substantially all of our and 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 that were modified in conjunction with its renewal
and amendment on May 9, 2008. The financial covenants are described below in the section titled
Financial Covenants. The Revolving Credit Facility also restricts us from paying cash dividends
and places limitations on our ability to repurchase our common stock. The maturity date of the
Revolving Credit Facility is May 12, 2010.
Under the renegotiated terms of our Revolving Credit Facility, interest was calculated at LIBOR
plus 3.0%, or the lenders prime rate (the Base Rate) plus 1.0% through September 30, 2008.
Thereafter, interest is based on our total liquidity, which is calculated as cash on hand plus
availability under the Revolving Credit Facility, as shown in the following table:
|
|
|
Total Liquidity |
|
Interest Rate |
Greater than $60 million
|
|
LIBOR plus 2.75% or Base Rate plus 0.75% |
From $40 million to $60 million
|
|
LIBOR plus 3.00% or Base Rate plus 1.00% |
Less than $40 million
|
|
LIBOR plus 3.25% or Base Rate plus 1.25% |
At June 30, 2009, our total liquidity was $72.4 million. For the three months ended June 30, 2009,
our weighted average interest rate under the Revolving Credit Facility was 4.0%. The letter of
credit fee under the revised agreement was 3.25% through September 30, 2008, after which the letter
of credit fee is based on the same factor as loans outstanding.
In addition, we are charged monthly in arrears (1) an unused line fee of either 0.5% or 0.375%,
depending on the utilization of the credit line, and (2) certain other fees and charges as
specified in the Loan and Security Agreement. Finally, the Revolving Credit Facility is subject to
a prepayment fee of 0.5% until May 2009 and 0.25% until May 2010. We incurred a $275,000 charge
from Bank of America as a result of the amendment, of which $200,000 is classified as a prepaid
expense and is being amortized over 12 months and $75,000 is classified as a deferred financing fee
and is being amortized over 24 months.
Through May 9, 2008, loans under the Revolving Credit Facility bore interest at LIBOR plus 3.5% or
the base rate plus 1.5% on the terms set in the Loan and Security Agreement. In addition, we were
charged monthly in arrears (1) an unused line fee of either 0.5% or 0.375%, depending on the
utilization of the credit line, (2) a letter of credit fee equal to the applicable per annum LIBOR
margin times the amount of all outstanding letters of credit, and (3) certain other fees and
charges as specified in the Loan and Security Agreement.
Financial Covenants
The financial covenants for the Revolving Credit Facility as in effect on June 30, 2009, are
described in the table that follows. As of June 30, 2009, we are in compliance with each of the
following amended financial covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility:

over $50.0 million in liquidity. |
As of September 30, 2008, we were also in compliance with all of our financial covenants under the
Revolving Credit Facility.
Capital Lease
In May 2009, we entered into a non-cancelable capital lease for office equipment located at our
Corporate and field offices valued at $1.1 million, expiring in May 2013.

The Eton Park / Flagg Street Term Loan
On May 12, 2006, we entered into a $53.0 million senior secured term loan (the Eton Park Term
Loan) with Eton Park Fund L.P. and certain of its affiliates and Flagg Street Partners L.P. and
certain of its affiliates to refinance $51.9 million in senior convertible notes then outstanding.
On December 12, 2007, we terminated the Eton Park Term Loan by prepaying in full all outstanding
principal and accrued interest on the loan. On the same day, we entered into the $25.0 million
Tontine Term Loan, as described above. Along with a prepayment penalty of $2.1 million that was
included in interest expense and accrued interest of $1.0 million, the payoff amount under the Eton
Park Term Loan was $48.7 million. We wrote off previously unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.3
million on the Eton Park Term Loan. Our weighted average interest rate under the Eton Park Term
Loan was 10.75% for the period from October 1, 2007 to December 12, 2007.
4. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Our restricted shares granted under the 2006 Equity Incentive Plan participate in any dividends
declared on our common stock. Accordingly, the restricted shares are considered participating
securities under the two-class method as required by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-6,
Participating Securities and the Two-class method under FASB Statement No. 128. The two-class
method 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, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands, except per share and per
share data):

5. OPERATING SEGMENTS
In accordance with SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related
Information certain information is disclosed based on the way management organizes financial
information for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
We manage and measure performance of our business in three distinct operating segments: Commercial,
Industrial, and Residential. We also have a Corporate office that provides general and
administrative services to our three operating segments. As a result of the 2007 Restructuring
Plan several administrative services were consolidated into the Corporate office and shared service
centers. The Commercial 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 plant, network enterprises and switch network customers. The
Industrial segment provides electrical design, installation, renovation and engineering and
maintenance and replacement services in facilities such as manufacturing and distribution centers,
water treatment facilities, refineries, petrochemical and power plants, and alternative energy
facilities. In addition to these services, our 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. The Corporate office includes expenses associated with providing
support services to our operating segments.
18
The 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 Amendment No. 1 to our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30,
2008. We evaluate performance based on income from operations of the respective business units
prior to Corporate office expenses. Our Corporate office allocates some costs between segments for
selling, general and administrative expenses, goodwill impairment, depreciation expense, capital
expenditures and total assets.
Segment information for continuing operations for the three months and nine months ended June 30,
2009 and 2008 is as follows (in thousands):

Depreciation and amortization including discontinued operations for the nine months ended June 30,
2008, is as follows (in thousands): Commercial $1,914; Industrial $858; Residential $1,801 and
Corporate $1,861 for a total of $6,434.
We have no operations or long-lived assets in countries outside of the United States.
Total assets as of June 30, 2009 and 2008 exclude assets from discontinued operations of $0.5
million and $2.9 million, respectively.
6. STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
On May 12, 2008, 10,555 shares of outstanding common stock that were reserved for issuance upon
exchange of previously issued shares pursuant to our plan of reorganization were cancelled.
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 permitted us to pay off the Eton Park Term Loan and enter into the Tontine Term Loan for
a reduced principal amount. Further, 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 plan is authorized through December 2009, and as of June 30,
2009, we have repurchased 886,360 shares of common stock at an average cost of $16.24 per share.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we repurchased 301,418 shares of common stock under the
share repurchase program, we repurchased 30,536 shares of common stock from our employees to
satisfy minimum tax withholding requirements upon the vesting of restricted stock issued under the
2006 Plan, we issued 188,700 shares of treasury stock under our share-based compensation programs,
and 120 unvested shares of restricted stock were forfeited by a former employee and returned to
treasury stock.
Restricted Stock
We granted 180,100 shares of restricted stock to our employees during the first nine months of our
2009 fiscal year. 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.
We granted 101,650 shares of restricted stock to our employees during the first nine months of our
2008 fiscal year of which 5,300 shares have been forfeited as of June 30, 2009. These restricted
shares were granted at prices ranging from $13.38 to $19.98 per share with weighted average price
of $19.17 per share under various vesting terms.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recognized $0.4 million and $0.6 million,
respectively, in compensation expense related to these awards. During the nine months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008, we recognized $1.3 million and $2.0 million, respectively, in compensation
expense related to these awards. As of June 30, 2009, the unamortized compensation cost related to
outstanding unvested restricted stock was $1.8 million. We expect to recognize $0.3 million
related to these awards during the remaining three months of our 2009 fiscal year, and $1.5 million
thereafter.
All the restricted shares granted under the 2006 Plan (vested or unvested) participate in
dividends, if any, issued to common shareholders.
Performance-Based Restricted Stock
During the year ended September 30, 2008, we granted 15 members of our senior management team
performance-based phantom stock units (PSUs). Each PSU is convertible into one share of
restricted common stock that will cliff vest on September 30, 2010, subject to the terms of the
award. The aggregate size of the award is based on the Company achieving cumulative fully diluted
earnings per share of $2.30 over the course of our 2008 and 2009 fiscal years. At the time the
award was made, the potential aggregate range of the award was between zero and 188,300 shares of
restricted stock, depending on the actual cumulative earnings per share for this period. Due to
PSU forfeitures through June 30, 2009, the current potential aggregate maximum award is 165,500
shares.
20
At the time the PSU awards were granted, we forecasted that we would ultimately issue 94,150
restricted shares under the program, based on our achieving cumulative fully diluted earnings per
share of $2.30 over the course of our 2008 and 2009 fiscal years. Under SFAS 123(R), the estimated
fair value of these PSUs on the date of grant was $1.5 million. The awards vest over three years
and are to be amortized on a straight-line basis throughout that period. We expensed $0.3 million
through the end of the nine month period ended June 30, 2008, based on this projection. During the
fourth quarter of our 2008 fiscal year, we revised our 2009 projected earnings per share in
conjunction with our year-end budget analysis. This revision resulted in the reversal of all
amounts previously expensed as we did not believe we would achieve the minimum cumulative earnings
per share threshold of $1.73 to issue any restricted shares under the program. We will not accrue
any compensation expense under this award during our 2009 or 2010 fiscal years. However, any
deviation in the cumulative fully diluted earnings per share that we achieve through the end of our
2009 fiscal year will result in a change in the actual amount of stock-based compensation that we
recognize over the vesting period.
Stock Options
During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we granted 7,500 stock options at an exercise price of
$12.31 per share. These options vested on January 31, 2009 and expire ten years from the grant
date if they are not exercised. We granted 21,000 stock options at a weighted average exercise
price of $16.21 per share during the nine months ended June 30, 2008. These options vest over a
three year period at a rate of one-third on the annual anniversary date of the grant and expire ten
years from the grant date if they are not exercised. In addition, 10,000 stock options were
forfeited in April 2009, at which time the related compensation expense was reversed.
During the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we recognized $29,000 and $0.1 million,
respectively, in compensation expense related to these awards. During the nine months ended June
30, 2009 and 2008, we recognized $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, in compensation
expense related to these awards. As of June 30, 2009, the unamortized compensation cost related to
outstanding unvested stock options was $0.2 million. We expect to recognize $0.1 million of equity
based compensation expense related to these awards during the remaining three months of our 2009
fiscal year, and $0.2 million thereafter.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Investment in EPV Solar
On December 24, 2008, we invested $2.0 million in the form of a convertible note receivable
and warrants to purchase common stock from EPV Solar, Inc. (EPV), formerly Energy Photovoltaics,
a privately-held company in which we continue to hold a minority interest. Under the terms of SFAS
115, Accounting for Certain Investment in Debt and Equity Securities, we allocated the $2.0
million investment on a pro-rata basis based on the fair value of the note receivable and the
warrants at the time we completed the purchase agreement. Accordingly, we recorded the note
receivable at $1.8 million, and we recorded the warrants at $0.2 million. The EPV convertible note
receivable had a $2.7 million face value, with an 8% interest rate and interest payable
semi-annually on June 15 and December 15, and was due on June 15, 2010. The stock warrants allow
us to purchase up to 533,333 common shares of EPV at a strike price of $1.25 per share. These
warrants expire on December 31, 2013. Shortly after the investment of $2.0 million, EPV commenced
fundraising efforts to restructure debt and improve liquidity. The convertible note receivable was
restructured in June 2009 in the form of a (1) new convertible note receivable, (2) shares of EPV
common stock and (3) stock warrants to purchase additional shares. We did not recognize interest
income and accretion of $0.3 million through the date of restructuring.
As issued, the new 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 converted $1.0 million of our former convertible note receivable into 4,444,444 common
shares of EPV at $0.36 per share. The stock warrants we received allowed us to purchase up to
1,187,219 common shares of EPV at a strike price of $0.54 per share. As there were no specific
values assigned to each of these instruments, we allocated our carrying value of our $1.8 million
convertible note pro-rata based on the fair value at the time of conversion.
We assessed the fair market value of our investment in EPV after the restructuring and determined
that it was below its carrying value and considered other-than-temporary. Therefore, we recorded
an impairment loss of $0.6 million. This impairment loss is reflected as a reduction in our
consolidated balance sheet as an Other Non-Current Asset and in our consolidated income statement
as a component of Other Expense.

Because our current ownership of EPV of $1.8 million, reflecting our previous $1.0 million
investment, plus our $0.8 million of new shares listed in the above conversion, is below 20%, we
will continue to account for our common stock investment using the cost method of accounting. We
will continue to account for our convertible note receivable and stock warrants 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.

Investment in EnerTech Capital Partners II L.P.
In April 2000, we committed to invest up to $5.0 million in EnerTech Capital Partners II L.P.
(EnerTech). Through June 30, 2009, we have invested $5.0 million under this commitment. The
EnerTech fund will terminate on December 31, 2009, unless extended by EnerTechs general partner
for up to four years with the consent of the funds investors. This investment is accounted for
using the cost method of accounting. EnerTechs investment portfolio from time to time 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, 2009 and 2008 was $2.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively. 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, 2009 and 2008.

Arbinet-thexchange Inc.
On May 15, 2006, we received a distribution from the investment in EnerTech of 32,967 shares in
Arbinet-thexchange Inc. (Arbinet). The investment is a marketable security available for sale.
Both the carrying and market value of the investment at June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $57,000 and
$128,000, respectively.
Fair Value Measurement Accounting
We adopted SFAS 157 on October 1, 2008, for financial assets and liabilities measured on a
recurring basis. SFAS 157 applies to all financial assets and financial liabilities that are being
measured and reported on a fair value basis. There was no impact upon adoption of Statement 157 to
our consolidated financial statements.
Under SFAS 157, 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.
SFAS 157 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, 2009,
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.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Legal Matters
In the construction business there are frequently claims and litigation. There are inherent claims
and litigation risks 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 may be higher than the ordinary level in any one
reporting period. We believe that all such 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.
Clark Construction v IES Commercial, Inc. f/k/a J.W. Gray
In September 2008, Clark Construction (Clark) filed suit against us in the U.S. District Court
for the District of Maryland (Southern Division) to recover the expenses incurred by Clark and its
sub-guard surety to complete a project after Clark terminated J.W. Gray (Gray), one of our former
divisions, from the project. During the five-month period ended September 30, 2006, Gray received
approximately $4.9 million in backcharges from Clark, which we disputed. We recorded $0.4 million
as a loss reserve, included in current liabilities, specifically related to these backcharges. The
remaining claim associated with the backcharges is approximately $4.5 million. We have not
recorded any liability with respect to this amount. In 2006, we reversed previously recognized
revenues related to this project of $0.5 million and wrote off $0.4 million of receivables and $0.1
million in underbillings. Clark alleges the expenses were the result of delays caused by Grays
insufficient staffing of the project. We contend that delays were the result of Clarks failure to
properly manage the project, delays of other subcontractors and issues not in the control of Gray.
Clark claims that the cost to complete the project and other damages total $4.5 million. We have
filed an answer and a counterclaim seeking payment of the $0.3 million due for work completed and
an additional amount in excess of $0.8 million for delay and productivity impact on our costs.
While we believe Clarks charges may potentially be without merit, there can be no assurances that
we will ultimately prevail in this dispute.
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, sold and reconditioned 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 EPA in September 2005. We are not a party to that settlement agreement or Order
on Consent. The clean up of on site contaminated soils is presently estimated to cost
approximately $55.0 million. 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. A group has been formed among the letter recipients to facilitate
communication with the EPA and coordination of the remaining clean up.
24
Based on our investigation to date, there is evidence to support our defense that the subsidiary
contributed no PCB contamination to the site. In addition, we have tendered a demand for
indemnification to former owners of our subsidiary that may have transacted
business with the facility and are exploring the existence and applicability of insurance policies
that would mitigate potential exposure. As of June 30, 2009, 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, 2009, we had $8.0 million accrued for self-insurance liabilities,
including $1.8 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,
2009, we had reserved $0.5 million for these claims, in accordance with SFAS 5, Accounting for
Contingencies.
Surety
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 our 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. We have not incurred any
expenses to date to indemnify our sureties for expenses they incurred on our behalf. As of June
30, 2009, our cost to complete on projects covered by surety bonds was $97.2 million. As of June
30, 2009, we utilized a combination of cash and letters of credit totaling $17.6 million, which was
comprised of $11.0 million in letters of credit and $6.6 million of cash and accumulated interest
(as is included in Other Non-Current Assets), to collateralize our bonding programs.
On October 27, 2008, we entered into a Co-Surety Arrangement with two of our independent surety
providers that increased our aggregate bonding capacity to $325.0 million and reduced our bond
premium to an average of $11.25 per thousand dollars of contract costs for projects less than 24
months in duration. As is common in the surety industry, there is no commitment from these
providers to guarantee our ability to issue bonds for projects as they are required. We believe
that our relationships with these providers will allow us to provide surety bonds if and when they
are required; however, we cannot guarantee that such bonds will be available. If surety bonds are
not provided, there are situations in which claims or damages may result. Those situations occur
when surety bonds are required for jobs that have been awarded, contracts are signed, work has
begun or bonds may be required in the future by the customer according to terms of the contracts.
If our subsidiaries are in one of those situations and not able to obtain a surety bond, then the
result can be a claim for damages by the customer for the costs of replacing the subsidiary with
another contractor. Customers are often reluctant to replace an existing contractor and may be
willing to waive the contractual right or through negotiation be willing to continue the work on
different payment terms. We evaluate our bonding requirements on a regular basis, including the
terms and coverage offered by each provider. We believe we presently have adequate surety
coverage.
Surety bond companies may also provide surety bonds at a cost including (1) payment of a premium,
plus (2) posting cash or letters of credit as collateral. The cost of cash collateral or letters
of credit in addition to the selling, general and administrative costs and the industry practice of
the customer retaining a percentage of the contract (5% - 10%) amount as retention until the end of
the job, could make certain bonded projects uneconomical to perform.
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,
2009, $13.0 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. There is the potential from selling assets net of liabilities, but
retaining the entities from which they were sold, that if the purchaser is unwilling or unable to
perform the transferred liabilities, we may be forced to fulfill obligations that were
assigned or sold to others. 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, 2009,
all jobs under this have been completed. To date, we have not been required to perform on any
projects sold under this divestiture program.
25
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 specific intervals at a fixed price over the term. As of June 30, 2009, we had no
open purchase commitments.
In April 2000, we committed to invest up to $5.0 million in EnerTech. EnerTech is a private equity
firm specializing in investment opportunities emerging from the deregulation and resulting
convergence of the energy, utility and telecommunications industries. On June 11, 2009, EnerTech
called the remaining $150,000 of our commitment. Through June 30, 2009, we had invested $5.0
million under our commitment to EnerTech.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to June 30, 2009, an expansion to our 2009 Restructuring Plan was approved that will
reduce additional personnel and consolidate our Commercial and Industrial segments into one
operational unit. This combined with our earlier cost reductions and restructuring is expected to
further reduce overall annual SG&A.
10. Restatement of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
The June 30, 2009 condensed consolidated financial statements included in our Original Form 10-Q
filed on August 10, 2009, contained errors primarily related to additional charges for certain
accruals, medical claims and certain other expenses, and resultant tax effects, that should have
been recorded at June 30, 2009. Accordingly, the June 30, 2009 condensed consolidated financial
statements have been restated to properly record these transactions. The effect of correcting these
errors in our consolidated financial statements was as follows:

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 Amendment No. 1 to our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the
year ended September 30, 2008. 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 Amendment No. 1 to our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
September 30, 2008, and in the Disclosures Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, and elsewhere in
this Amendment No. 1 to our quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A. Actual results may differ materially
from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
Restatement
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations includes
the effects of the restated amounts as disclosed in Note 10 Restatement of Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements (Unaudited) included in Item I of this Amendment No. 1 to our Form 10-Q/A. For
this reason, the data set forth in this section may not be comparable to discussions and data in
our previously filed quarterly reports
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. We identified our most critical accounting policies to be those related
to revenue recognition, the assessment of goodwill impairment, our allowance for doubtful accounts
receivable, 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
Note 2 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Amendment No. 1 to our annual report on
Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2008.
During the first nine months of our 2009 fiscal year, there has been only one change to our
critical accounting policies and estimates from those described in Amendment No. 1 to our annual
report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended September 30, 2008. On October 1, 2008, we adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 enhances the guidance
for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. In addition, SFAS 157 expands information
about the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value, the information
used to measure fair value and the effect of fair value measurements on earnings. For additional
analysis of our adoption of SFAS 157, see Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1, Business of this report.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
We discuss recently adopted and issued accounting standards in Item 1. Condensed Consolidated
Financial Statements Note 1, Business of this report, which is incorporated herein by
reference.
RESTRUCTURING PROGRAMS
The 2007 Restructuring Plan
During our 2008 fiscal year, we completed our restructuring of operations from our previous
geographic structure into three major lines of business: Commercial, Industrial and Residential.
This operational restructuring (the 2007 Restructuring Plan) was part of our long-term strategic
plan to reduce our cost structure, reposition our business to better serve our customers,
strengthen our financial controls and, as a result, position us to implement a market-based growth
strategy. The 2007 Restructuring Plan consolidated certain
leadership roles, administrative support functions and eliminated redundant functions that
were previously performed at 27 division locations. Since we began the 2007 Restructuring Plan in
June 2007, we recorded a total of $5.6 million of restructuring charges.
28
Details regarding the components of the restructuring charges were previously described in Item 1.
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note 2, Strategic Actions of this report, which is
incorporated herein by reference.
The 2009 Restructuring Plan
On October 1, 2008, we began a new restructuring program (the 2009 Restructuring Plan) that is
designed to consolidate operations within our three segments. The 2009 Restructuring Plan is the
next level of our business optimization strategy. Our plan is to streamline our local project and
support operations, which will be managed through regional operating centers, and to capitalize on
the investments we made over the past year to further leverage our resources. Under the 2009
Restructuring Plan, we expect to incur pre-tax restructuring charges, including severance benefits
and facility consolidations and closings, of approximately $3.0 million to $5.0 million, which will
be implemented over approximately 12 months. Details regarding the components of the restructuring
charges were previously described in Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note 2,
Strategic Actions of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference.
EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES
On March 28, 2006, based on the recommendation of the Board of Directors, we committed to an exit
plan with respect to five underperforming subsidiaries in our Commercial and Industrial segments.
The exit plan committed to a shut-down or consolidation of the operations of these subsidiaries or,
alternatively, the sale or other disposition of the subsidiaries, whichever came sooner. The exit
plan is complete for the five subsidiaries that we selected to exit in March 2006, and the
operations of these subsidiaries substantially ceased as of September 30, 2006. In June 2007, we
shut down our Mid-States Electric division, located in Jackson, Tennessee. Mid-States was part of
our Commercial segment prior to being classified as discontinued. In August 2008, we shut down our
Haymaker division, located in Birmingham, Alabama. Haymaker was part of our Industrial segment
prior to being classified as discontinued.
The assets, liabilities and operating results for each of these shut-down entities have been
reclassified to discontinued operations for both current and prior periods. Remaining net working
capital related to these subsidiaries was $0.2 million and $1.5 million at June 30, 2009, and
September 30, 2008, respectively. As a result of inherent uncertainty in the exit plan and the
monetization of these subsidiaries working capital, we could experience additional losses of
working capital. At June 30, 2009, we believe we have recorded adequate reserves to reflect the
net realizable value of the working capital; however, subsequent events may impact our ability to
collect.
We have included the results of operations related to these business units in discontinued
operations for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
FINANCING
The Tontine Capital Partners 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. 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
Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). 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.
Camden Note Payable
On August 1, 2008, we financed two insurance policies with a $4.6 million note payable (the 2008
Camden Note Payable) from Camden Premium Finance, Inc. (Camden), bearing interest at 4.59%,
through July 1, 2010. Under the terms of the Camden Note Payable, we are to make thirteen equal
payments of $243,525 (including principal and interest) beginning September 1, 2008 until September
1, 2009, followed by ten equal payments of $167,589 (including principal and interest). On April
1, 2009, we terminated coverage on one of the two insurance policies. This lowered the payments on
the 2008 Camden Note Payable from April 1, 2009 through September 1, 2009 to $129,484, while
leaving the payments after September 1, 2009 unchanged.
29
On April 1, 2009, we financed a third insurance policy with a $1.2 million note payable (the 2009
Camden Note Payable and together with the 2008 Camden Note Payable, the Camden Notes Payable)
from Camden, bearing interest at 4.59%, through June 1, 2010. Under the terms of the Camden Note
Payable, we are to make fourteen equal payments of $91,595 (including principal and interest)
beginning May 1, 2009 until June 1, 2010.
The Camden Notes Payable are collateralized by the gross unearned premiums on the respective
insurance policies and any payments on account of loss under such policies. As of June 30, 2009,
we have a combined remaining liability of $3.4 million under the Camden Notes Payable which
reflects future principal payments.
The Revolving Credit Facility
On May 12, 2006, we entered into an agreement, as amended (the Loan and Security Agreement) for a
revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) with Bank of America and certain other
lenders. On May 9, 2008, we renegotiated the terms of and entered into an amended agreement
governing the Revolving Credit Facility with the same financial institutions. The terms of the
amended agreement are described in Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note 3,
Debt and Liquidity of this report, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Revolving
Credit Facility provides access to revolving borrowings in the aggregate amount of up to $60.0
million. At June 30, 2009, we had $11.8 million available under the Revolving Credit Facility and
$24.0 million in letters of credit issued against the Revolving Credit Facility. The maturity date
of the Revolving Credit Facility is May 12, 2010.
On April 17, 2009, one of our surety providers released $10.0 million of letters of credit under
the Revolving Credit Facility that they were holding as collateral.
The Eton Park / Flagg Street Term Loan
On May 12, 2006, we entered into a $53.0 million senior secured term loan (the Eton Park Term
Loan) with Eton Park Fund L.P. and certain of its affiliates and Flagg Street Partners L.P. and
certain of its affiliates to refinance $51.9 million in senior convertible notes then outstanding.
On December 12, 2007, we terminated the Eton Park Term Loan by prepaying in full all outstanding
principal and accrued interest on the loan. On the same day, we entered into the $25.0 million
Tontine Term Loan, as described above. Along with a prepayment penalty of $2.1 million that was
included in interest expense and accrued interest of $1.0 million, the payoff amount under the Eton
Park Term Loan was $48.7 million. We wrote off previously unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.3
million on the Eton Park Term Loan. Our weighted average interest rate under the Eton Park Term
Loan was 10.75% for the period from October 1, 2007 to December 12, 2007.
Capital Lease
In May 2009, we entered into a non-cancelable capital lease for office equipment located at our
Corporate and field offices valued at $1.1 million, expiring in May 2013.
SURETY
Surety
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 our 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. We have not incurred any
expenses to date to indemnify our sureties for expenses they incurred on our behalf. As of June
30, 2009, our cost to complete on projects covered by surety bonds was $97.2 million. As of June
30, 2009, we utilized a combination of cash and letters of credit totaling $17.6 million, which was
comprised of $11.0 million in letters of credit and $6.6 million of cash and accumulated interest
(as is included in Other Non-Current Assets), to collateralize our bonding programs.
30
On October 27, 2008, we entered into a Co-Surety Arrangement with two of our independent surety
providers that increased our aggregate bonding capacity to $325.0 million and reduced our bond
premium to an average of $11.25 per thousand dollars of contract costs for projects less than 24
months in duration. As is common in the surety industry, there is no commitment from these
providers
to guarantee our ability to issue bonds for projects as they are required. We believe that our
relationships with these providers will allow us to provide surety bonds if and when they are
required; however, we cannot guarantee that such bonds will be available. If surety bonds are not
provided, there are situations in which claims or damages may result. Those situations occur when
surety bonds are required for jobs that have been awarded, contracts are signed, work has begun or
bonds may be required in the future by the customer according to terms of the contracts. If our
subsidiaries are in one of those situations and not able to obtain a surety bond, then the result
can be a claim for damages by the customer for the costs of replacing the subsidiary with another
contractor. Customers are often reluctant to replace an existing contractor and may be willing to
waive the contractual right or through negotiation be willing to continue the work on different
payment terms. We evaluate our bonding requirements on a regular basis, including the terms and
coverage offered by each provider. We believe we presently have adequate surety coverage.
Surety bond companies may also provide surety bonds at a cost including (1) payment of a premium,
plus (2) posting cash or letters of credit as collateral. The cost of cash collateral or letters
of credit in addition to the selling, general and administrative costs and the industry practice of
the customer retaining a percentage of the contract (5% - 10%) amount as retention until the end of
the job, could make certain bonded projects uneconomical to perform.

Consolidated revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, were $41.6 million less than the quarter
ended June 30, 2008, a reduction of 19.5%. Each of our three business segments experienced
declines in construction activity during the period, primarily due to the challenging economic
environment where a nationwide decline in construction activity has occurred.
31
Revenues in our Commercial segment decreased $11.0 million, or 8.8%, during the quarter ended June
30, 2009, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Many of our Commercial operating locations
experienced revenue shortfalls, as most industry sectors have begun to reduce, delay or cancel
proposed construction projects, including high rise office towers, hotels, condominiums and
casinos. We have 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.
Despite national trends to the contrary, four of our Commercial business units experienced
significant revenue increases that partially offset this revenue decline. These business units
were located in the northeastern and western regions of the country. We attribute these increases
in part to progress in implementing our business development strategy in these regions
Our Industrial segment posted a $13.0 million decrease in revenues during the quarter ended June
30, 2009, a decline of 39.5%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008. During the quarter
ended June 30, 2009, our Industrial segment experienced decreased demand for transmission and
distribution projects and significantly reduced construction activity at electrical substations,
refineries, ethanol plants, and pulp and paper mills. Industrial segment market conditions
continue to be difficult in light of the current national economic credit crisis, which has
resulted in many projects being deferred as they await financing or cancelled altogether.
Residential segment revenues decreased $17.6 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, a
decrease of 31.7%, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008, due to the slowdown in both
single-family and multi-family housing construction. The ongoing nationwide decline in demand for
single-family homes has affected our Residential segment, particularly in markets such as Southern
California, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Texas. In addition, multi-family housing construction
began to realize declines for the first time in 2009, primarily due to the deferral of certain
projects as they await financing or are cancelled altogether. We attribute the majority of this
decrease to reductions in building activity throughout all the markets we serve, while the
remaining portion of the decrease was attributable to the effect of lower prices in response to the
competitive market conditions and falling input prices which affect the prices that we may pass
along to our customers.

In spite of the 19.5% decrease in consolidated revenues discussed above, our consolidated gross
profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, posted a modest decline of $2.6 million, or 7.6%
compared to consolidated gross profit for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Our overall gross
profit percentage of revenue increased to 18.3% during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to
16.0% during the quarter ended June 30, 2008, reflecting improved project execution and the effect
of reduced input prices.
Our Commercial segments gross profit, during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, increased $1.4
million over the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Commercials gross margin percentage increased
approximately 280 basis points during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, reflecting improved project
execution, resulting in fewer projects with losses. This is primarily due to a combination of
enhanced cost controls and increased profitability on jobs awarded due to the project management
operating system initiative implemented in the past year.
Gross profit at our Industrial segment declined $2.9 million during the quarter ended June 30,
2009, compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The reduced gross profit dollars in our
Industrial sector was primarily a result of the aforementioned lower project volumes. During the
quarter ended June 30, 2009, Industrials gross margin percentage declined by
approximately 240 basis points primarily as a result of reduced volumes and in part due to mix of
lower margin work being performed during 2009. The project mix in 2008 included several large time
and material projects with higher margins.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, our Residential segment experienced a $1.1 million
reduction in gross profit compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This decline resulted from
the aforementioned $17.6 million decrease in revenues due to the reduction in demand for
single-family homes. Gross margin percentage in the Residential segment improved approximately 600
basis points to 25.0% during the quarter ended June 30, 2009. We attribute much of the improvement
in Residentials gross margin to improved
execution particularly in multi-family, a stabilization of material costs, and the ability to more
effectively manage labor costs to meet project demands.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include 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, 2009, our selling, general and administrative expenses were $27.0
million, a decrease of $.8 million, or 3.0%, over the quarter ended June 30, 2008. The reduction
in 2009 expenses were primarily due to (1) a $2.7 million decrease in employment expenses as a
result of our ongoing restructuring efforts, (2) lower accounting and other professional fees of
$0.5 million and (3) correction of prior period fixed asset depreciation costs resulting in a
benefit of $0.2 million. The decrease in 2009 selling, general and administrative costs were
partially offset by (1) a $0.8 million increase in temporary support labor, in lieu of full time
hires, and other increased spending related to providing support for the new systems implemented
during 2008, (2) a $0.6 million increase in depreciation due to the implementation of new software
platforms in late 2008, (3) a $0.5 million increase in external legal costs primarily related to
legal disputes, and (4) $0.4 million in severance costs which were not included in restructuring
charges.
As previously indicated, we completed our 2007 Restructuring Plan in fiscal 2008, whereby we
integrated 27 companies into three business segments. As a result, we experienced a net $3.8
million reduction in our combined Commercial, Industrial and Residential selling, general and
administrative expenses, while our Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses have
increased as a result of our investments in systems and consolidation of various services which
have improved controls, compliance and yielded savings and productivity throughout the business.
We have completed the implementation of new software programs and work processes which include (1)
a comprehensive project management operating system that is being utilized across our divisions to
standardize our project management and reporting processes and provide our businesses up-to-date
visibility into project performance, (2) an accounting consolidation and reporting system that
supplies management more timely and robust financial data and improved transparency, and (3) an
outsourced payroll solution that utilizes technology to capture current labor utilization. In
addition, we have invested in new sales capabilities to accelerate our target market growth
strategy.
Restructuring Charges
As discussed earlier, we have restructured our operations from our previously decentralized
structure into three major lines of business: Commercial, Industrial and Residential. During the
quarter we consolidated the Industrial shared service center in Houston, Texas into the Commercial
shared service center in Tempe, Arizona. Each of these lines of business is now supported by one
of our administrative shared services centers which has consolidated many of the back office
functions into a centralized location. This integration has enabled us to eliminate a number of
redundant functions.

In conjunction with our restructuring program, we recognized the following costs during the three

During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we incurred interest expense of $1.3 million on an average
debt balance of $25.2 million for 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 under the Revolving
Credit Facility. This compares to interest expense of $1.0 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2008, on an average debt balance of $25.0 million on the Tontine Term Loan and an average letter of
credit balance of $37.7 million and an average unused line of credit balance of $29.0 million.
On December 12, 2007, we repaid our Eton Park Term Loan using cash on hand and the proceeds from
the Tontine Term Loan. We incurred a prepayment penalty of $2.1 million on the Eton Park Term
Loan, and we recognized previously unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.3 million. During the
quarter ended June 30, 2009, we recorded $0.1 million of deferred financing charges, which reflect
the amortization of fees incurred on the Tontine Term Loan. Other deferred financing charges of
$0.3 million recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2008 were the amortization fees incurred on
the Tontine Term Loan and the Eton Park Term Loan before it was repaid.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, total interest expense was offset by $0.1 million in
interest income on an average cash and cash equivalents balance of $54.1 million, compared to $0.3
million in interest income on an average cash and cash equivalents balance of $55.4 million during
the quarter ended June 30, 2008. In addition to reduced cash balances, interest income was also
impacted by interest rates which averaged 0.5% during the quarter ended June 30, 2009, compared to
2.1% during the quarter ended June 30, 2008.
Other expense of $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily due to the
impairment of our investment in EPV.
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 from continuing operations decreased from an expense of $2.1 million
for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 to an expense of $1.4 million for the quarter ended June 30,
2009. The decrease in the provision for income
taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 is attributable to the decrease in income from continuing
operations and an increase in state income taxes.
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations
As discussed earlier in this report, since March 2006, we have shut down seven underperforming
subsidiaries. While this exit plan is substantially complete, there are still some revenues and
expenses associated with the wind down of these subsidiaries. Such income statement amounts are
classified as discontinued operations.
34
Revenues at these subsidiaries were $0.0 million and $0.8 million for the quarters ended June
30, 2009 and June 30, 2008, respectively; earnings after tax at these subsidiaries was a net income
of $0.1 million during the quarter June 30, 2009 and a net loss of $0.3 million during the quarter
ended June 30, 2008.

Consolidated revenues for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 were $94.0 million less than in the
nine months ended June 30, 2008, a decline of 15.5%. This reduction was attributable to declines
in each of our Commercial, Industrial and Residential segments, reflecting the overall decrease in
all sectors of the construction industry.
Our Commercial segment experienced a $15.5 million decline in revenues during the nine months ended
June 30, 2009, a 4.4% decrease compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008. Many of our
Commercial operating locations experienced revenue shortfalls, as most industry sectors have begun
to reduce, delay or cancel proposed construction projects, including high rise office towers,
hotels, condominiums and casinos. Our Commercial segment has also been affected by reduced demand
for light construction projects such as restaurants, movie theaters and local shopping centers,
which could be correlated to the slowdown in the housing sector. We have also experienced
increased competition for low-end retail work from residential contractors who have been affected
by the housing slowdown.
Our Industrial segment posted a decrease in revenues of $34.7 million during the nine months ended
June 30, 2009, a 35.0% decrease, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008. The key factor
in our revenue decline during the period was significantly decreased construction activity at
electrical substations, ethanol plants, and pulp and paper mills, as many projects were deferred,
cancelled or are awaiting financing.

s
Our Residential segment revenues decreased $43.9 million during the nine months ended June 30,
2009, a 27.3% decrease compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease is primarily
attributable to the nationwide decline in demand for single-family homes, particularly in markets
such as Southern California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and Georgia. We attribute the majority of this
decrease directly to reduced building activity, while the remainder is mainly due to pricing
pressure from our customers and increased competition. This revenue decline was partially offset
by increased revenue from our multi-family housing division due to increased demand for apartments.

The decline in our consolidated gross profit of $8.7 million for the nine months ended June 30,
2009, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008, was primarily due to lower consolidated
revenues during the period, as discussed above. Our gross profit percentage, however, increased
from 16.2% for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 to 17.5% for the nine months ended June 30,
2009. This increase was due to improved margins in the Commercial and Residential segments, offset
by a decline of the gross margin percentage in the Industrial segment.
Our Commercial segments gross profit increased by $2.6 million during the nine months ended June
30, 2009, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008. The Commercial segments gross margin
percentage of revenues improved approximately 150 basis points to 15.8% during the nine months
ended June 30, 2009, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008. The improvement in gross
margin percentage reflects improved project execution due to a combination of enhanced cost
controls as well as increased profitability due to the project management operating system
initiative implemented in the past year. During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we
transferred several employees out of generalist roles that were previously recorded as selling,
general and administrative costs and assigned them to specific project costs, resulting in
approximately $0.8 million of additional cost of revenues during the period as part of our 2009
Restructuring Plan.
Industrial gross profit decreased $7.2 million for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, compared to
the nine months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in gross profit in our Industrial segment is
primarily a result of reduced volumes in part due to mix of lower margin work being performed
during 2009. The project mix in 2008 included several large time and material projects with higher
margins. The decrease in gross profit dollars is primarily due to lower volume of petrochemical
and utility projects in our east coast business units, as well as a dramatically lower volume of
pulp and paper related projects in our northwest locations.
Our Residential segment experienced a $4.1 million decline in gross profit for the nine months
ended June 30, 2009, compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008. This decline is due to the
aforementioned $43.9 million decrease in revenues during the period caused by reduced demand for
single-family housing across the United States. However, the gross margin percentage in the
Residential line of business increased from 19.6% for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 to 23.5%
in the nine months ended June 30, 2009, in spite of the decline in the number of housing starts
this year. We attribute the improvement in the Residential segment gross margin percentage to
improved execution in multi-family and to a greater mix of higher margin multi-family projects when
compared to the single family construction activities. In addition to improved profitability at
our multi-family housing division, we also benefited from a stabilization of material costs and the
ability to increase and decrease labor to meet project demands.

Selling, general and administrative expenses include 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, 2009, our selling, general and administrative expenses were
$82.7 million, a decrease of $3.0 million, or 3.5%, compared to the nine months ended June 30,
2008. The decrease in expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to (1) a
$6.1 million decrease in employment costs as a result of our ongoing restructuring efforts and (2)
$1.0 million reduction in accounting and other professional fees. The decrease in selling,
general, and administrative expenses for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 were partially offset
by (1) an increase of $2.3 million in temporary support labor, in lieu of full time hires, and
other increased spending related to providing support for the new software systems and work
processes implemented during 2008, (2) a $1.1 million increase in depreciation due to the
implementation of new software platforms in late 2008, (3) the settlement of legal disputes of
approximately $0.7 million, and (4) $0.7 million in severance costs which were not included in
restructuring charges. Further, during for the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we transferred
several employees out of generalist roles that were previously recorded as selling, general and
administrative costs and assigned them to specific project costs, resulting in approximately $0.8
million of additional cost of revenues and a reduction in selling, general, and administrative
costs as part of our 2009 Restructuring Plan.
As previously indicated, we completed our 2007 Restructuring Plan in fiscal 2008, whereby we
integrated 27 companies into three business segments. As a result, during the nine months ended
June 30, 2009, we experienced a net $10.8 million reduction in our combined Commercial, Industrial
and Residential selling, general and administrative expenses compared to the nine months ended June
30, 2008, while our Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses have increased as a
result of our investments in systems and various consolidation services which have yielded improved
controls, compliance and savings and productivity throughout the business. We have completed the
implementation of new software programs and work processes which include (1) a comprehensive
project management operating system now being utilized across our divisions to standardize our
project management and reporting processes and provide our businesses up-to-date visibility into
project performance, (2) an accounting consolidation and reporting system which supplies management
more timely and robust financial data and improved transparency, and (3) an outsourced payroll
solution that utilizes more real time workers labor application technologies and employed
technology to capture current labor utilization. In addition, we have invested in new sales
capabilities to accelerate our target market growth strategy.
Restructuring Charges
As previously discussed, we have restructured our operations from our previously decentralized
structure into three major lines of business: Commercial, Industrial and Residential. Each of
these lines of business is now supported by one of our dedicated administrative shared services
centers which has consolidated many of the back office functions into a centralized location. This
integration has enabled us to eliminate a number of redundant functions.
In conjunction with our restructuring programs, we recognized the following costs during the nine
months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we incurred interest expense of $3.2 million on an
average debt balance of $25.2 million for 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 under the
Revolving Credit Facility. This compares to interest expense of $3.7 million for the nine months
ended June 30, 2008, on a combined average debt balance of $31.9 million for the Eton Park Term
Loan and the Tontine Term Loan and an average letter of credit balance of $38.7 million and an
average unused line of credit balance of $36.8 million under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Other expense of $0.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily due to the
impairment of our investment in EPV of $0.6 million.
On December 12, 2007, we repaid our Eton Park Term Loan using cash on hand and the proceeds from
the Tontine Term Loan. We incurred a prepayment penalty of $2.1 million on the Eton Park Term
Loan, and we recognized previously unamortized debt issuance costs of $0.3 million. During the
nine months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded $0.2 million of deferred financing charges, which
reflect the amortization of fees incurred on the Tontine Term Loan. Other deferred financing
charges of $1.7 million recorded during the nine months ended June 30, 2008, were the amortization
fees incurred on the Tontine Term Loan and the Eton Park Term Loan before it was repaid.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, total interest expense was offset by $0.3 million in
interest income on an average cash and cash equivalents balance of $54.7 million, as compared to
$1.8 million in interest income on an average cash and cash equivalents balance of $61.5 million
during the nine months ended June 30, 2008. In addition to reduced cash balances, interest income
was also impacted by interest rates which averaged 0.8% during the nine months ended June 30, 2009,
compared to 3.9% during the nine months ended June 30, 2008.
Other income of $1.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2008 included a gain of $0.5
million associated with cash distributions from our investment in EnerTech, and a $1.1 million
settlement with a group of former employees out of which $0.4 million was recorded as a reduction
against legal fees and the remainder as other income. This settlement compensated the Company for
damages associated with departure of these employees from the Company. We collected this
settlement in full in March 2008.
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 from continuing operations decreased from an expense of $2.1 million
for the nine months ended June 30, 2008, to an expense of $0.5 million for the nine months ended
June 30, 2009. The decrease in the provision for income taxes for the nine months ended June 30,
2009 is attributable to the reduction in the income from continuing operations for the nine months
ended June 30, 2009 and a decrease in state income taxes.
38
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations
As discussed earlier, since March 2006, we have shut down seven underperforming subsidiaries.
While this exit plan is substantially complete, there are still some revenues and expenses
associated with the wind down of these subsidiaries. Such income statement amounts are classified
as discontinued operations.
Revenues at these subsidiaries were $0.0 million and $3.4 million for the nine months ended June
30, 2009 and the nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively; earnings after tax at these
subsidiaries was a net loss of $0.0 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2009, and net
loss of $0.3 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2008.

During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, working capital increased $0.9 million as compared to
September 30, 2008, reflecting an $18.0 million decrease in current assets and a $18.9 million
decrease in current liabilities during the period.
During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, our current assets decreased by $18.0 million, or 6.8%,
to $246.1 million, as compared to $264.1 million as of September 30, 2008. Cash and cash
equivalents decreased by $4.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to
September 30, 2008. Current trade accounts receivables, net, decreased by $11.5 million
at June 30, 2009, as compared to September 30, 2008, as days sales outstanding (DSOs)
increased to 71 days as of June 30, 2009, from 63 days as of September 30, 2008, and we transferred
a $3.7 million receivable to long-term receivables during the period. While our DSOs increased
from 63 to 71 between September 30, 2008 and June 3, 2009, our balance of trade receivables
actually declined by almost 9% during the same period. The increase in DSOs between September 30,
2008 and June 30, 2009 was driven predominantly by the decline in revenues that we experienced
during the nine months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008
and, to a lesser extent, slow-downs in receipt of certain customer payments, both of which we
attribute to distressed financial markets and the challenging economic environment. Additionally,
it should be noted that historically our receivables write-offs have been low as a result of our
ability to secure liens against our customers over-due receivables, and while this process of
collection may not occur quickly, our secured position does ensure that it will occur eventually to
the extent that our security retains value. In light of these impacts of the volatility in the
current financial markets, we will continue to closely monitor the collectability of our
receivables in the months ahead. We also experienced a $0.3 million increase in retainage and a
$1.0 million increase in costs in excess of billings during the nine months ended June 30, 2009,
compared to September 30, 2008. Inventories decreased by $2.7 million during the nine months ended
June 30, 2009, compared to September 30, 2008, reflecting the continued success of our
strategic efforts to better manage our supply chain through utilization of just-in-time systems,
improved material management and a vendor managed inventory strategy. Prepaid expenses and other
current assets increased by a total of $0.6 million and assets from discontinued operations
decreased by $1.5 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2009, compared to
September 30, 2008.
39
During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, our total current liabilities decreased by $18.9
million, to $118.1 million, compared to $137.0 million as of September 30, 2008. During the nine
months ended June 30, 2009, accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $20.1 million as a
result of lower volume, early pay discounts associated with our Preferred Vendor Program and our
cash management efforts at the end of our 2008 fiscal year. Billings in excess of costs increased
by $0.7 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2009, compared to September 30, 2008, due to
our efforts to increase cash flow. Finally, current maturities of long-term debt increased by $0.7
million and liabilities at our discontinued operations decreased by $0.2 million during the nine
months ended June 30, 2009, compared to September 30, 2008.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $60.5 million, working capital of $128.0
million, $25.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our Tontine Term Loan and $24.0 million of
letters of credit outstanding and $11.8 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, capital expenditures for property and equipment, and our
share buy back through the next twelve months. Our ability to generate cash flow is dependent on
our successful completion of our restructuring efforts and many other 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 credit facility, if needed.
Recent distress in the financial markets did not have a significant impact on our overall financial
position, results of operations or cash flows as of and for the year ended September 30, 2008,
although certain of our operations revenue were impacted during the nine months ended June 30,
2009, as a result of the challenging economic environment. We are in compliance with our covenants
under our Revolving Credit Facility at June 30, 2009. However, 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 of receivables. Working capital needs are
generally higher during our fiscal third and fourth quarters due to increased services as a result
of favorable weather conditions in many regions of the country. Operating activities provided net
cash of $6.9 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $3.1 million of net
cash provided in the nine months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in operating cash flows in the
first nine months of 2009 is primarily due to improved collections of accounts receivable and
retainage of $23.5 million, coupled with reduced overall working capital needs during the first
nine months of 2009, primarily as a result of lower levels of revenue activity and improved
material management, including a vendor managed inventory strategy. This increase in cash flow was
partially offset by the timing of our accounts payable and accrued expenses totaling $14.0 million,
including payment of year-end target incentives in December 2008, combined with reduced billings in
excess of costs on uncompleted projects of $4.3 million.
Investing Activities
In the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we used net cash in investing activities of $6.0
million as compared to $11.2 million of net cash provided in investing activities in the nine
months ended June 30, 2008. The primary change was due to the release of $20.0 million in
restricted cash during 2008. Investing activities in the first nine months of 2009 included $4.1
million used for capital expenditures, partially offset by $0.2 million of proceeds from the sale
of equipment. Investing activities in the first nine months of 2008 included $9.6 million used for
capital expenditures, partially offset by $0.3 million of proceeds from the sale of equipment. In
addition, investing activities in the nine months ended June 30, 2009, included $2.0 million used
for an investment in EPV Solar and $0.2 million to satisfy our commitment to invest in EnerTech
which is described in further detail in Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements Note
7, Fair Value MeasurementInvestment in EPV Solar of this report, which is incorporated herein
by reference.
40
Financing Activities
In the nine months ended June 30, 2009, financing activities used net cash flow of $5.1
million as compared to $27.1 million in net cash used by financing activities in the nine months
ended June 30, 2008. The primary change in net cash used in financing activities in the first nine
months of 2009, as compared to the nine months ended June 30, 2008, was due to borrowings of $25.2
million that occurred during the first nine months of 2008 netted against $1.1 million related to a
new capital lease obligation in 2009. Investing activities in the first nine months of 2009
included $1.8 million used for payments of long-term debt and $4.3 million used for the acquisition
of treasury stock. Financing activities in the first nine months of 2008 included $45.7 million
used for payments of long-term debt and $6.1 million used for the acquisition of treasury stock.
Bonding Capacity
At June 30, 2009, we have 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, 2009, the expected cumulative cost to complete for projects covered by our co-surety
providers was $97.2 million. We believe we have adequate remaining available bonding capacity to
meet our current needs, subject to the sole discretion of our surety providers. For more
information, please refer to Item 2. Surety.
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 determine to cancel or terminate a lease before the end of its term. Typically, we are
liable to the lessor for various lease cancellation or termination costs and the difference between
the then fair market value of the leased asset and the implied book value of the leased asset as
calculated in accordance with the lease agreement.
Some of our customers 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. Depending on the circumstances surrounding a
reimbursement to our creditor, we may have a charge to earnings in that period. At June 30, 2009,
$11.0 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, 2009,
an additional $13.0 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, 2009, 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 issues 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, 2009, we utilized a combination of cash, accumulated interest thereon and letters of credit
totaling $17.6 million to collateralize our bonding programs.
In April 2000, we committed to invest up to $5.0 million in EnerTech. EnerTech is a private equity
firm specializing in investment opportunities emerging from the deregulation and resulting
convergence of the energy, utility and telecommunications industries Through June 30, 2009, we had
invested $5.0 million under our commitment to EnerTech.

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, capital expenditures for property and equipment, and our share
buy back through the next twelve months. We expect capital expenditures to be approximately $4.0
million to $6.0 million for the fiscal year ending on September 30, 2009, as we invest in our
infrastructure to improve management information and project management systems. Our ability to
generate cash flow is dependent on our successful completion of our restructuring efforts and many
other factors, including demand for our products and services, the availability of projects at
margins acceptable to us, the ultimate collectability of our receivables, and our ability to borrow
on our Revolving Credit Facility.
Inflation
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we experienced decreases in fuel prices and related
travel costs, as well as reductions in steel and copper prices, which have declined from the recent
historical highs in early 2008. These price declines have contributed to some gross margin
improvement; however, due to the slowdown in the overall construction sector, we have adjusted our
pricing as our cost of goods have fallen. Over the long-term, we will adjust our pricing to
incorporate these conditions and other inflationary factors.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to June 30, 2009, an expansion to our 2009 Restructuring Plan was approved that will
reduce additional personnel and consolidate our Commercial and Industrial segments into one
operational unit. This combined with our earlier cost reductions and restructuring is expected to
further reduce overall annual SG&A.
|
|
|
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
have an impact on 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 on the
Revolving Credit Facility.
|
|
|
ITEM 4. |
|
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Disclosure controls and procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed
by us in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(Exchange Act) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified
in the Security and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures
include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required
to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the
principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of
disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention
or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and
procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
In connection with the restatement discussed above in the explanatory note to this Form 10-Q/A and
in Note 9 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, under the direction of our Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we reevaluated our disclosure controls and
procedures. We identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting with
respect to
our account reconciliation process at the Corporate office. Specifically, the Companys procedures
and personnel resources responsible for accounting for miscellaneous accruals, medical claims and
certain other expenses were not effective. Solely as a result of this material weakness, we
concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2009.
42
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In an effort to remediate the material weakness at the Corporate office, during 2009, we
strengthened our internal controls over financial reporting by improving the Corporate office
account reconciliation process and implementing several staffing changes. We believe these changes
will remediate the material weakness discussed above.
Prior to the three months ended December 31, 2008, we had completed the implementation of two
separate software programs which have since been integrated into our daily work processes and
materially impacted our internal controls. The first program is a comprehensive project management
system that is being utilized across our divisions and at our shared service centers to standardize
our project management and reporting processes and provides our businesses near real-time
visibility into project performance. The second program is an accounting consolidation and
reporting system that provides management more robust financial data and improved transparency. In
addition to these new systems, we have also outsourced our payroll processing to a leading national
provider and employed technology to capture labor utilization more real time. Each of these new
processes has materially changed our internal controls over financial reporting.
Additionally during the second quarter, we implemented an improved fixed asset accounting system.
This activity was part of our ongoing efforts to strengthen internal controls. This new fixed asset
module became fully operational during the third quarter.

ITEM 1. |

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
For additional information, please refer to Part 1. Item 1. Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements Note 8, Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters of this report, which is
incorporated herein by reference. We are not aware of any litigation or pending litigation that we
believe will have a material impact on our results of operations or our financial position other
than these matters that are disclosed in Note 8.
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed under
Item 1.A. Risk Factors in Amendment No. 1 to our annual report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended
September 30, 2008.
Due to the recent financial and credit crisis, we may not be able to obtain funding, or obtain
funding on acceptable terms, to meet our future capital needs, which could negatively affect our
business, results of operations and financial performance.
The recent credit crisis and the related turmoil in the global financial system have had an adverse
impact on our business performance, and we may face challenges if conditions in the financial
markets do not improve. Due to the financial crisis, financing may not be available to us on
acceptable terms or at all, including under our Revolving Credit Facility. If additional funding
is not available, or is available only on unfavorable terms, we may be unable to make necessary
capital expenditures, withstand a downturn in our business or the economy in general, or take
advantage of business opportunities that may arise. Any curtailment of our operations would have
an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operations. In addition, current economic
conditions have led to reduced demand for electrical services, and a sustained decline in demand
would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Availability of net operating losses may be reduced.
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. Should Tontine
sell its position in IES to a single shareholder or an affiliated group of shareholders, a change
in ownership could occur. In addition a change in ownership could occur resulting from the
purchase of common stock by an existing or a new 5% shareholder as defined by Internal Revenue Code
Section 382. Currently, we have approximately $169 million of federal net operating losses that
are available to use to offset taxable income. In addition, we have approximately $52 million of
net operating loss not currently available due to the limitation imposed by Internal Revenue Code
Section 382 and will be available to offset taxable income in future periods. Should a change in
ownership occur, all net operating
losses incurred prior to the change in ownership would be subject to limitation imposed by Internal
Revenue Code Section 382 and this would substantially reduce the amount of net operating loss
available to offset taxable income.
