KSW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1. Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

KSW, Inc. and its subsidiary, KSW Mechanical Services, Inc., together the “Company”, furnishes and installs heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems and process piping systems for institutional, industrial, commercial, high-rise residential and public works projects, primarily in the State of New York.  The Company also serves as a mechanical trade manager, performing project management services relating to the mechanical trades.  The Company considers itself to operate as one operating segment.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2010, and its results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2010 and 2009.  Because of the possible fluctuations in the marketplace in the construction industry, operating results of the Company on a quarterly basis may not be indicative of operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2010.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements are set forth in Note 2 to the  consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.  The Company has made no significant changes to these policies during 2010.

The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the “FASB.”  The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that the Company follows to ensure its consistent reporting of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 166 “The Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets – an Amendment of FASB Statement 140”, currently included in FASB ASC 860, which clarifies circumstances under which a transferor has surrendered control and, thus, should remove the asset together with any related liabilities from its balance sheet.  It was effective for the Company on January 1, 2010.  The adoption of FASB ASC 860 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

8

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167 “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R)”, currently included in FASB ASC 810, which modifies the analysis required to identify controlling financial interest in variable interest entities.  It was effective for the Company on January 1, 2010.  The adoption of FASB ASC 810 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following disclosures of estimated fair value were determined by management, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair values.

Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments.  The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables, payables and other amounts arising out of normal contract activities, including retentions, which may be settled beyond one year, reasonably approximate their fair values.

The fair value of the Company’s mortgage payable, which is not traded in the market, is estimated by considering the Company’s credit rating, current rates available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturity and the terms of the debt.

Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2010.

4. Marketable Securities

FASB ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, established a broad three level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs which are used to measure fair value.

The Company values short-term investments, mutual funds and marketable equity securities using market prices on active markets, which is Level 1 of the FASB ASC 820-10 fair value hierarchy.  Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

Financial assets carried at fair value at March 31, 2010 are classified in the table below in one of three broad categories.

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Six month Canadian time deposit	$	542,000	$	-	$	-	$	542,000
Mutual funds and marketable equity securities		1,600,000		-		-		1,600,000
Total	$	2,142,000	$	-	$	-	$	2,142,000

9

For presentation purposes, $1,045,000 of short-term investments in Canadian time deposits, that were included in cash in the Company’s December 31, 2009 consolidated balance sheet, have been reclassed to marketable securities.

5. Joint Venture

During the third quarter of 2009, a joint venture in which the Company and Five Star Electric Corporation each have a 50 percent ownership interest was awarded a $46 million contract for the construction of a chiller plant at the World Trade Center site.  The agreement provides that each partner will share equally any gains or losses resulting from the project.  If the other partner is unable to perform its work, the Company would be fully liable to do so under the joint venture’s contract with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.  The Company and its partner are also jointly and severally liable to the bonding company that issued the payment and performance bond for the joint venture.  Circumstances that could lead to a loss under the joint venture agreement beyond the Company’s stated ownership interest include the other partner’s inability to contribute additional funds to the venture in the event the project incurs a loss, additional costs that the Company could incur should the partner fail to provide the services and resources toward project completion that it committed to provide in the joint venture agreement, and the partner’s failure to pay its subcontractors and suppliers.

The Company records in its consolidated statements of income, revenue earned from the performance of the mechanical portion of the joint venture contract, and its proportionate share of the revenue earned from the work of the other joint venture subcontractors, except for revenue from the electrical work performed by its joint venture partner.

The Company is currently billing the joint venture for its costs related to the performance of the mechanical portion of the joint venture contract. Since these amounts billed do not include any profit, this transaction increases amounts the Company records in its consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”.

As of March 31, 2010, the joint venture had cash totaling approximately $586,000, which is not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010.

At March 31, 2010, the Company has recorded the following in its consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Advances to and earnings from joint venture”:

Advances to joint venture	$	17,000
Earnings from joint venture		11,000
Balance at March 31, 2010	$	28,000

6. Stockholders’ Equity

(A)  Stock Option Plans:

The Company has outstanding stock options issued under two plans, the KSW, Inc. 1995 Stock Option Plan (“1995 plan”) and the KSW, Inc. 2007 Stock Option Plan (“2007 plan”).

The 1995 plan expired December 2005.  Therefore, no new options can be granted under that plan.  At March 31, 2010, there were 137,501 outstanding exercisable options, which were previously issued under the 1995 plan, expiring on various dates through 2015.

The 2007 plan was adopted and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 8, 2007 and was approved by the shareholders at the May 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  Pursuant to the 2007 plan, 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company are reserved for issuance to employees, consultants and directors of the Company.  The primary purpose of the 2007 plan is to reward and retain key employees and to compensate directors.  No options have been issued to officers or employees under the 2007 plan. Under this plan, the Company issued to a Company director options to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.95 per share. On May 7, 2009, the Company issued to a Company director options to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.61 per share.  At March 31, 2010, there were 40,000 options outstanding of which 13,333 were vested under the 2007 plan.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company incurred compensation expense related to the vesting of stock options totaling approximately $6,000.  In addition, an executive and the estate of a former director, exercised an aggregate of 8,000 options during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company incurred compensation expense related to the vesting of stock options totaling approximately $4,000.  There were no stock options exercised during the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

As of March 31, 2010, there is approximately $23,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock-based compensation awards.  That cost is expected to be recognized over the next 2.1 years.

Under both plans, options were granted to certain employees, executives and directors at prices equal to the market value of the stock on the dates the options were issued.  The options granted generally have a term of 10 years from the grant date and granted options vest ratably over a three year period.  The fair value of each option is amortized into compensation expense on a straight-line basis between the grant date for the option and each vesting date.  The Company estimates the fair value of all stock option awards as of the date of the grant by applying the Black-Scholes pricing valuation model.  The application of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and sensitive in the determination of compensation expense which would include the expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, weighted-average expected life of the options and the dividend yield.

11

Historical information is the primary basis for the selection of the expected volatility, expected dividend yield and the expected lives of options.  The risk free interest rate was selected based upon yields of U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued.  Stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was as follows:

	Number of Shares			Weighted Average Exercise Price		Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Term in Years		Aggregate IntrinsicValue
Outstanding at January 1, 2010		185,501		$	2.27
Expired/canceled		-		$	-

Exercisable at March 31, 2010		150,834		$	2.06		1.7	$	240,000

Cash proceeds, tax benefits and intrinsic value related to total stock options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

	Three MonthsEnded March 31, 2010		Three MonthsEnded March 31, 2009
Proceeds from stock options exercised	$	12	$	-
Tax benefits related to stock options exercised	$	7	$	-
Intrinsic value of stock options exercised	$	16	$	-

(B)           Dividend

On March 9, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $.10 per share.  The dividend will be payable on May 24, 2010 to stockholders of record as of April 26, 2010. At March 31, 2010, the Company has accrued $628,000 for this dividend in the accompanying consolidated financial statements under the caption “Accrued expenses”.

(C)           Treasury Stock

During December 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase, through June 2009, of up to $1,000,000 of the Company’s common stock on the open market.  As of March 31, 2010, the Company purchased 52,700 shares of the Company’s common stock at a total cost of $140,000.

8. Commitment and Contingencies

Proposals and Claims.  During the course of its work on construction projects, the Company may incur expenses for work outside the scope of its contractual obligations, for which no acknowledgment of liability exists from the owner or general contractor for such additional work.  These claims may include change proposals for extra work or requests for an equitable adjustment to the Company’s contract price due to unforeseen disruptions to its work. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for the construction industry, until written acknowledgments of the validity of the claims are received, the claims are not recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  No accruals have been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements related to these proposals for which no acknowledgment of liability exists.  While the Company has been generally successful in obtaining a favorable resolution of such claims, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the future.

9. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

There are no recently issued accounting pronouncements which will affect the Company.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Revenues

Total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 decreased by $6,246,000, or 31.7% to $13,460,000, as compared to $19,706,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

As of March 31, 2010, the Company had backlog of approximately $118,100,000.

Approximately $60,000,000 of the March 31, 2010 backlog is not reasonably expected to be completed within the year ended December 31, 2010. New contracts secured during 2010 will increase 2010 revenues.  The amount of backlog not reasonably expected to be completed in the current fiscal year is subject to various uncertainties and risks. The Company is actively seeking new projects to add to its backlog.

The economic recession has impacted the number of private projects, which the Company may pursue.  Therefore, the Company is aggressively pursuing opportunities in the public sector, where the Company has been successful in the past.  During the 2009 third quarter, the Company received awards for chiller plants at the new World Trade Center (awarded to the Company’s Joint Venture) and at the Brookhaven National Laboratory.

Cost of Revenues

Cost of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 decreased by $5,831,000, or 32.6% to $12,053,000, as compared to $17,884,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  The decrease in cost of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as compared to March 31, 2009, was primarily associated with the decreased revenues.

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $1,407,000, or 10.5% of revenues, as compared to a gross profit of $1,822,000, or 9.2% of revenues, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Other Income

Other income for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $21,000, as compared to $16,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  This increase in other income was a result of a decrease in interest expense during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009.

Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $105,000, as compared to the provision for income taxes of $149,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  The effective tax rate during the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, was higher than the Company’s statutory tax rate as a result of the Company paying state tax which is based on capital and not based on the Company’s net income. The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was also reduced as a result of a reversal of a prior year over accrual of taxes.

Net Income

As a result of the above mentioned items, the Company reported net income of $87,000, or $.01 per share-basic and diluted, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as compared to reported net income of $287,000, or $.05 per share-basic and diluted, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s principal capital requirement is to fund its work on construction projects.  Projects are billed monthly based on the work performed to date.  These project billings, less a withholding of retention, which is received as the project nears completion, are collectible based on their respective contract terms.  The Company has historically relied primarily on internally generated funds and bank borrowings to finance its operations.  The Company has a line of credit which is subject to certain conditions.  The Company has not relied on bank borrowings to finance its operations since July 2003.

As of March 31, 2010, total cash and cash equivalents was $13,044,000, a $3,285,000 decrease from the $16,329,000 reported as of March 31, 2009. As of March 31, 2010, the Company’s joint venture had cash totaling approximately $586,000, which is not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2010, marketable securities were $2,142,000, as compared to $1,216,000 reported as of March 31, 2009.

Cash used in operations

Net cash used in operations was $1,113,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, as compared to $130,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  Both periods were affected by the funding of projects, the payment of corporate income taxes and executive bonuses.

15

In order to ensure that the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture is properly capitalized, the Company and its partner are billing the joint venture only for the costs incurred on their respective portions of the joint venture contract. As the job progresses, the joint venture partners will bill the joint venture for their profits, and these amounts will  then be disbursed.

Cash provided by/ used in investing activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $415,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Net cash used in investing activities was $8,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2009.  The Company purchased property and equipment totaling $83,000 and $6,000 and marketable securities totaling $547,000 and $2,000 during the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company had proceeds from the maturing of short-term investments totaling $1,045,000.

Cash provided by/ used in financing activities

Net cash provided by financing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $4,000.

Net cash used by financing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $144,000.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, an executive and the estate of a former director exercised options to purchasean aggregate of 8,000 shares contributing cash proceeds of $12,000 to the Company.

The Company presents excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as part of cash flows from financing activities.  Excess tax benefits represent tax benefits related to exercised options in excess of the associated deferred tax assets for such options.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, $7,000 of excess tax benefits have been classified as an operating cash outflow and a financing cash inflow.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Company purchased 46,100 shares of treasury stock at a cost of $124,000.

In addition, the Company repaid principal payments on its mortgage payable totaling $15,000 and $20,000 during the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

On March 9, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $.10 per share.  At March 31, 2010, the Company has accrued $628,000 for this dividend.  This amount will be paid on May 24, 2010 and therefore no amounts were included in the cash flows from financing activities in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the period ended March 31, 2010.

Credit Facility

The Company has a line of credit facility from Bank of America, N.A., which provides borrowings for working capital purposes up to $2,000,000.  This facility expires on

16

March 31, 2011, is secured by the Company’s assets, and is guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiary, KSW Mechanical Services, Inc.  There have been no borrowings against this line of credit.

Advances bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the bank’s prime lending rate (3.25% at March 31, 2010) or the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (.26% at March  31, 2010) plus two percent per annum.

Payment may be accelerated by certain events of default such as unfavorable credit factors, the occurrence of a material adverse change in the Company’s business, properties or financial condition, a default in payment on the line, impairment of security, bankruptcy, or the Company ceasing operations or being unable to pay its debts.  The line of credit must be paid in full at the end of the term.

Commitments

The Company currently has no significant capital expenditure commitments.

Surety

On some of its projects, the Company is required to provide a surety bond.  The Company obtains its surety bonds from Federal Insurance Company, a member of Chubb Group of Insurance Companies.  The Company’s ability to obtain bonding, and the amount of bonding required, is solely at the discretion of the surety and is primarily based upon the Company’s net worth, working capital, the number and size of projects under construction and the surety’s relationship with management.  The Company is contingently liable to the surety under a general indemnity agreement.  The Company agrees to indemnify the surety for any payments made on contracts of suretyship, guaranty or indemnity that might result from the Company not having the financial capacity to complete projects.  Management believes the likelihood of the surety having to complete projects is remote.  The contingent liability is the cost of completing all bonded projects, which is an undeterminable amount because it is subject to bidding by third parties.  Management believes that all contingent liabilities will be satisfied by the Company’s performance on the specific bonded contracts involved.  The surety provides bonding solely at its discretion and the arrangement with the surety is an at-will arrangement subject to termination.

The Company’s bonding limits have been sufficient given the volume and size of the Company’s contracts.  The Company’s surety may require that the Company maintain certain tangible net worth levels, and may require additional guarantees if the Company should desire increased bonding limits.  At March 31, 2010, approximately $51,200,000 of the Company’s backlog of $118,100,000 is anticipated to be bonded.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

ITEM 3. QUANTITITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company does not utilize futures, options or other derivative instruments other than a completed interest rate swap on its mortgage payable with Bank of America, N.A.  Because the mortgage is a variable rate mortgage, the Company used an interest rate swap instrument to fix the interest rate that the Company pays at 5% over the term of the mortgage.

In addition, as of March 31, 2010, the Company had $2,142,000 of marketable securities.
