NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — UNAUDITED
NOTE 1. BUSINESS, BASIS OF PRESENTATION, AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Overview
The terms “we,” “us,” and “our” used in this quarterly report refer to URS Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated. We operate through two divisions: the URS Division and the EG&G Division. We offer a comprehensive range of professional planning and design, systems engineering and technical assistance, program and construction management, and operations and maintenance services for transportation, facilities, environmental, homeland security, defense systems, installations and logistics, commercial/industrial, and water/wastewater treatment projects. Headquartered in San Francisco, we operate in more than 20 countries with approximately 29,400 employees providing services to the U.S. federal government, state and local government agencies, and private industry clients in the United States and abroad.
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.
You should read our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2005. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are not indicative of the operating results for the full year or for future years.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented.
The preparation of our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP necessarily requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and costs during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates based on information that is currently available. Changes in facts and circumstances may cause us to revise our estimates.
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
Our financial statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures required to be consolidated under Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46(R)”). All intercompany transactions and accounts were eliminated in consolidation. We participate in joint ventures formed for the purpose of bidding, negotiating and executing projects. Sometimes we function as the sponsor or manager of the projects performed by the joint venture. Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures and our equity in their earnings are not material to our consolidated financial statements. Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.

Cash and Cash Equivalents/Book Overdrafts
We consider all highly liquid investments with acquisition date maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, we had book overdrafts for some of our disbursement accounts. These overdrafts represented transactions that had not cleared the bank accounts at the end of the reporting period. We transferred cash on an as-needed basis to fund these items as they cleared the bank in subsequent periods.
At June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, cash and cash equivalents included $45.7 million and $43.5 million, respectively, held and used by our consolidated joint ventures.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, excluding unvested restricted stock awards and units. Diluted EPS is computed using the treasury stock method for stock options and unvested restricted stock awards and units. The treasury stock method assumes conversion of all potentially dilutive shares of common stock whereby the proceeds from assumed exercises are used to hypothetically repurchase stock at the average market price for the period. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock outstanding include stock options, and unvested restricted stock awards and units, which includes consideration of stock-based compensation required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income plus preferred stock dividends, if any, by the weighted-average common shares and potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.
In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS 128”), a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted EPS is provided as follows:

Adopted and Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
Stock-Based Compensation
We adopted SFAS 123(R) on December 31, 2005, the beginning of our 2006 fiscal year, using the modified prospective transition method, which requires measurement of compensation expense for all stock-based awards at fair value on the grant date and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. Upon adoption, our consolidated financial statements reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R), but in accordance with the modified prospective transition method, prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R).
On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 123(R)-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards” (“SFAS 123(R)-3”). The alternative transition method permitted by SFAS 123(R)-3 is a simplified method for establishing the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC Pool”) related to the tax effects of employee share-based compensation. We are in the process of evaluating whether to adopt the simplified method contained in SFAS 123(R)-3.
See Note 7, “Stock-Based Compensation,” for a further discussion.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording, in the financial statements, uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on recognition or de-recognition and measurement and classification of FIN 48 liability; accruals of interest and penalties; accounting for changes in judgment in interim periods; and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The accounting provisions of FIN 48 will be effective for us at the beginning of fiscal year 2007. We are in the process of determining the effect that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on our financial statements.

Credit Facility
Our senior credit facility (“Credit Facility”) consists of a 6-year term loan of $350.0 million and a 5-year revolving line of credit of $300.0 million, against which up to $200.0 million is available to issue letters of credit. As of June 30, 2006, we had $205.0 million outstanding under the term loan, $76.3 million in letters of credit and no amount outstanding under the revolving line of credit.
All loans outstanding under our Credit Facility bear interest at either LIBOR or our bank’s base rate plus an applicable margin, at our option. The applicable margin will change based upon our credit rating as reported by Moody’s Investor Services and Standard & Poor’s. The LIBOR margins range from 0.625% to 1.75% and the base rate margins range from 0.0% to 0.75%. As of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, the LIBOR margin was 1.00% for both the term loan and revolving line of credit. As of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, the interest rates on our term loan were 6.50% and 5.53%, respectively.
As of June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Credit Facility.

111/2% Senior Notes(“111/2% notes”). As of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, we had outstanding amounts of $2.8 million, of the original outstanding principal, due 2009. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 111/2% notes are effectively subordinate to our Credit Facility, capital leases and notes payable. As of June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our 111/2% notes.
Notes payable, foreign credit lines and other indebtedness.As of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, we had outstanding amounts of $12.1 million and $9.6 million, respectively, in notes payable and foreign lines of credit. Notes payable consists primarily of notes used to finance small acquisitions, and the purchase of office equipment, computer equipment and furniture. The weighted average interest rates of these notes were approximately 6.2% and 5.6% as of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, respectively.
We maintain foreign lines of credit, which are collateralized by the assets of our foreign subsidiaries and letters of credit. As of June 30, 2006, we had $13.1 million in lines of credit available under these facilities, with $5.6 million outstanding. As of December 30, 2005, we had $10.0 million in lines of credit available under these facilities, with no amounts outstanding. The interest rates were 5.7% and 6.6% as of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, respectively.
Capital Leases. As of June 30, 2006, we had $46.0 million in obligations under our capital leases, consisting primarily of leases for office equipment, computer equipment and furniture.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values of the 111/2% notes fluctuate depending on market conditions and our performance and at times may differ from their carrying values. We believe that the fair value of our remaining 111/2% notes approximate their carrying value in the amount of $2.8 million as of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005.

NOTE 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to certain contractual guarantees and governmental audits or investigations. We are also involved in various legal proceedings that are pending against us and our subsidiaries alleging, among other things, breach of contract or tort in connection with the performance of professional services, the various outcomes of which cannot be predicted with certainty. We are including information regarding the following proceedings in particular:
| • | | Saudi Arabia:Prior to our acquisition of Lear Seigler Services, Inc. (“LSI”) in August 2002, LSI provided aircraft maintenance support services on F-5 aircraft under contracts (the “F-5 Contract”) with a Saudi Arabian government ministry (the “Ministry”). LSI’s operational performance under the F-5 Contract was completed in November 2000 and the Ministry has yet to pay a $12.2 million account receivable owed to LSI. The following legal proceedings ensued: |
|
| | | Two Saudi Arabian landlords have pursued claims over disputed rents in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Arabian landlord of the Al Bilad complex received a judgment in Saudi Arabia against LSI for $7.9 million. The $7.9 million judgment remains unpaid and LSI is currently pursuing a countersuit in Saudi Arabia against the Al Bilad landlord. Another landlord has obtained a judgment in Saudi Arabia against LSI for $1.2 million. The $1.2 million judgment also remains unpaid and LSI successfully appealed the decision in June 2005 in Saudi Arabia, which was remanded for future proceedings. |
|
| | | LSI is involved in a dispute relating to a tax assessment issued by the Saudi Arabian taxing authority (“Zakat”) against LSI of approximately $5.1 million for the years 1999 through 2002. LSI disagrees with the Zakat assessment and provided responses, additional information and documentation to Zakat and the Tax Preliminary Appeal Committee. On June 6, 2006, Zakat and Tax Preliminary Appeal Committee ruled partially in favor of LSI by reducing the tax assessment to approximately $2.2 million. LSI has appealed the decision of the Zakat and Tax Preliminary Appeal Committee in an effort to eliminate or further reduce the assessment, and, as a part of that appeal, posted a bond in the full amount of the remaining tax assessment. |
|
| | | Despite LSI’s position on the taxing authority’s assessment, in 2004 the Ministry directed payment of a performance bond outstanding under the F-5 Contract in the amount of approximately $5.6 million. Banque Saudi Fransi paid the bond to the Ministry and thereafter filed a reimbursement claim against LSI in December 2004 in the United Kingdom’s High Court of Justice, Queen’s Bench Division, Commercial Court. LSI believes Banque Saudi Fransi’s payment of the performance bond amount was inappropriate and constituted a contractual violation of our performance bond agreement. In April 2005, LSI responded to the Banque Saudi Fransi’s claim and the Commercial Court granted Banque Saudi Fransi an application for summary judgment of approximately $5.6 million, plus attorney fees and interest. The Court of Appeal of England & Wales (Civil Division) granted LSI an appeal of this judgment on December 6, 2005, on the condition that LSI secured the judgment. LSI has satisfied this condition by providing Banque Saudi Fransi with a letter of credit covering the amount of the judgment. On July 20, 2006, the Court of Appeal issued a draft judgment in favor of Banque Saudi Fransi. We are currently reviewing our legal options. We accrued a charge of $7.0 million related to this matter during the year ended December 30, 2005. |
|
| | | LSI intends to continue to vigorously defend these matters. |
|
| | | In November 2004, LSI filed suit against the Ministry in the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. The suit seeks damages for, among other things, intentional |

| | | interference with commercial relations caused by the Ministry’s wrongful demand of the performance bond; breach of the F-5 Contract; unjust enrichment and promissory estoppel, and seeks payment of the $12.2 million account receivable. In March 2005, the Ministry filed a motion to dismiss, which the District Court denied. In November 2005, the Ministry filed another motion to dismiss, to which the District Court responded by ordering the parties to conduct further discovery. LSI intends to continue to vigorously pursue this matter. |
|
| • | | Lebanon:Our 1999 acquisition of Dames and Moore Group, Inc. included the acquisition of a wholly-owned subsidiary, Radian International, LLC (“Radian”). Prior to the acquisition, Radian entered into a contract with the Lebanese Company for the Development and Reconstruction of Beirut Central District, S.A.L (“Solidere”). Under the contract, Radian was to provide environmental remediation services at the Normandy Landfill site located in Beirut, Lebanon (the “Normandy Project”). Radian subcontracted a portion of these services to Mouawad – Edde SARL. The contract with Solidere required the posting of a Letter of Guarantee, which was issued by Saradar Bank, Sh.M.L. (“Saradar”) in the amount of $8.5 million. Solidere drew upon the full value of the Letter of Guarantee. The contract also provided for the purchase of project specific insurance. The project specific insurance policy was issued by Alpina Insurance Company (“Alpina”). |
|
| | | Radian and Solidere initially sought to resolve their disputes in an arbitration before the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”). Solidere alleges that Radian’s activities and services resulted in the production of chemical and biological pollutants, including methane gas, at the Normandy Project. In July 2004, an ICC arbitration panel ruled against Radian. Among other things, the ICC ordered Radian to: i) prepare a plan to remediate the production of methane gas at the Normandy Site; and, ii) pay approximately $2.4 million in attorney fees and other expenses. The ICC also authorized Solidere to withhold project payments. |
|
| | | Since the July 2004 ruling, numerous other legal actions have been initiated. On January 20, 2006, Radian initiated a new ICC arbitration proceeding against Solidere alleging, in part, that Solidere’s lack of cooperation prevented Radian from complying with the July 2004 ruling. In response to Radian’s January 20 filing, Solidere terminated Radian’s contract and, on February 13, 2006, initiated a separate ICC arbitration proceeding against both Radian and URS Corporation, a Delaware corporation. Solidere’s February 13 filing seeks to recover the costs to remediate the Normandy Site, damages resulting from delays in project completion, and past and future legal costs. On February 20, 2006, Radian amended its January 20, 2006 filing to include Solidere’s unwarranted termination of Radian’s contract. |
|
| | | On June 28, 2006, Mouawad – Edde SARL, filed a request for arbitration with the ICC against Radian and URS Corporation seeking to recover $22 million for its alleged additional costs. Mouawad – Edde SARL alleges that it is entitled to a sizable increase in the value of its subcontract for additional work it claims to have performed on the Normandy Project. |
|
| | | In July 2004, Saradar filed a claim for reimbursement in the First Court in Beirut, Lebanon to recover the $8.5 million paid on the Letter of Guarantee from Radian and co-defendant Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Saradar alleges that it is entitled to reimbursement for the amount paid on the Letter of Guarantee. In February 2005, Radian responded to Saradar’s claim by filing a Statement of Defense. In April 2005, Saradar also filed a reimbursement claim against Solidere. Radian contends that it is not obligated to reimburse Saradar. The matter is currently under submission by the First Court in Beirut. The current instability in Lebanon may delay the Court’s ruling. |
|
| | | In October 2004, Alpina notified Radian of a denial of insurance coverage. Radian filed a breach of contract and bad faith claim against Alpina in the United States District Court for |

| | | the Northern District of California in October 2004 seeking declaratory relief and monetary damages. In July 2005, Alpina responded to Radian’s claim by filing a motion to dismiss based on improper venue, which the District Court granted. The District Court’s decision, however, did not consider the underlying merits of Radian’s claim and Radian appealed the matter to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in September 2005. Radian continues discussions with Alpina and its other insurance carriers to resolve the matter. |
|
| | | As of June 30, 2006, Solidere had withheld project payments amounting to $10.1 million. We have recorded this amount as accounts receivable and retainage and have included it in our consolidated accounts receivable. In addition, Radian has recorded $5.6 million in consolidated costs and accrued earnings in excess of billings on contracts in process and $3.6 million in consolidated other assets. |
|
| | | Radian will continue to vigorously pursue its claims against Solidere and Alpina. Radian and URS Corporation will also continue to vigorously defend the claims asserted against them. |

| • | | Tampa-Hillsborough County Expressway Authority:In 1999, URS Corporation Southern, a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an agreement (“Agreement”) with the Tampa-Hillsborough County Expressway Authority (the “Authority”) to provide foundation design, project oversight and other services in connection with the construction of the Lee Roy Selmon Elevated Expressway structure (the “Expressway”) in Tampa, Florida. Also, URS Holdings, a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into a subcontract agreement with an unrelated third party to provide geotechnical services in connection with the construction of roads to access the Expressway. In 2004, during construction of the elevated structure, one pier subsided substantially, causing significant damage to a segment of the elevated structure, though no significant injuries were reported at the time of the incident. The Authority has completed and is implementing a plan to remediate the Expressway. In October 2005, the Authority filed a lawsuit in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida against URS Corporation Southern, URS Holdings and an unrelated third party, alleging breach of contract and professional negligence resulting in damages to the Authority exceeding $120 million. Sufficient information is not currently available to assess liabilities associated with a remediation plan. In April 2006, the Authority’s Builder’s Risk insurance carrier, Westchester Surplus Lines Insurance Company (“Westchester”), filed a subrogation action against URS Corporation Southern in the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida for $2.9 million that Westchester has paid to the Authority and for any future amounts paid by Westchester for claims which the Authority has submitted for losses caused by the subsidence of the pier. URS Corporation Southern removed Westchester’s lawsuit to United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida and also filed multiple counterclaims against Westchester for insurance coverage under the Westchester policy. |

| | | URS Corporation Southern and URS Holdings intend to continue to vigorously defend this matter. |

| • | | Rocky Mountain Arsenal:In January of 2002, URS Group, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of URS Corporation, was awarded a contract by Foster Wheeler Environmental, Inc., to perform, among other things, foundation demolition and remediation of contaminated soil at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal in Colorado. URS Group, Inc. believes that contractual misrepresentations resulted in contract cost overruns in excess of $10.0 million, of which $4.4 million is included in our costs and accrued earnings in excess of billings on contracts in process. In October 2004, URS Group, Inc. filed a complaint asserting a breach of contract seeking recovery of the cost overruns against Foster Wheeler Environmental, and Tetra Tech FW, Inc. both subsidiaries of Tetra Tech, Inc. (“Tetra”), in District Court for the County of Denver in the State of Colorado. In June 2006, a $1.1 million judgment was issued by the District Court against Tetra on the matter. However, URS Group, Inc. believes that the recent judgment, even though issued in its favor, did not adequately address the underlying merits of URS Group Inc.’s claims and therefore, URS Group, Inc. appealed the recent judgment to the Colorado Court of Appeals in June 2006. URS Group, Inc. intends to continue to vigorously pursue this matter. |
Currently, we have limits of $125.0 million per loss and $125.0 million in the aggregate for a 13-month period for general liability, professional errors and omissions liability and contractor’s pollution liability insurance (in addition to other policies for some specific projects). The general liability policy
16
URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — UNAUDITED (Continued)
includes a self-insured claim retention of $4.0 million (or $10.0 million in some circumstances). The professional errors and omissions liability and contractor’s pollution liability insurance policies each include a self-insured claim retention amount of $10.0 million each. In some actions, parties may seek punitive and treble damages that substantially exceed our insurance coverage.
Excess limits provided for these coverages are on a “claims made” basis, covering only claims actually made and reported during the policy period currently in effect. Thus, if we do not continue to maintain these policies, we will have no coverage for claims made after the termination date – even for claims based on events that occurred during the term of coverage. We intend to maintain these policies; however, we may be unable to maintain existing coverage levels. We have maintained insurance without lapse for many years with limits in excess of losses sustained.
Although the outcome of our contingencies cannot be predicted with certainty and no assurances can be provided, based on our previous experience in such matters, we do not believe that any of our contingencies described above, individually or collectively, are likely to materially exceed established loss accruals or our various professional errors and omissions, project-specific and potentially other insurance policies. However, the resolution of outstanding contingencies is subject to inherent uncertainty and it is reasonably possible that such resolution could have an adverse effect on us.
As of June 30, 2006, we had the following guarantee obligations and commitments:
We have guaranteed the credit facility of one of our joint ventures, in the event of a default by the joint venture. This joint venture was formed in the ordinary course of business to perform a contract for the federal government. The term of the guarantee is equal to the remaining term of the underlying credit facility, which will expire on September 30, 2007. The amount of the guarantee was $6.5 million at June 30, 2006.
We also maintain a variety of commercial commitments that are generally made to support provisions of our contracts. In addition, in the ordinary course of business, we provide letters of credit to clients and others to insure against advance payments and to support other business arrangements. We are required to reimburse the issuers of letters of credit for any payments they make under the letters of credit.
From time to time, we may provide guarantees related to our services or work. If our services under a guaranteed project are later determined to have resulted in a material defect or other material deficiency, then we may be responsible for monetary damages or other legal remedies. When sufficient information about claims on guaranteed projects is available and monetary damages or other costs or losses are determined to be probable, we recognize such guarantee losses. Currently, we have no material guarantee claims for which losses have been recognized.
NOTE 6. SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION
We operate our business through two segments: the URS Division and the EG&G Division. Our URS Division provides a comprehensive range of professional planning and design, program and construction management, and operations and maintenance services to the U.S. federal government, state and local government agencies, and private industry clients in the United States and internationally. Our EG&G Division provides planning, systems engineering and technical assistance, operations and maintenance, and program management services to various U.S. federal government agencies, primarily the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security.
These two segments operate under separate management groups and produce discrete financial information. Management also reviews the operating results of these two segments separately. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of

NOTE 7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On October 12, 1999, our stockholders approved the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (“1999 Plan”). An aggregate of 1.5 million shares of common stock initially were reserved for issuance under the 1999 Plan, and the 1999 Plan provides an automatic reload of shares every July 1 through 2009 equal to the lesser of 5% of the outstanding common stock or 1.5 million shares. On March 26, 1991, our stockholders approved the 1991 Stock Incentive Plan (“1991 Plan”). The 1991 Plan provided for the grant of up to 3.3 million restricted shares, stock units and options. When the 1999 Plan was approved, the remaining shares available for grant under the 1991 Plan were added to the 1999 Plan.
As of June 30, 2006, we had reserved approximately 9.6 million shares and had issued options and restricted stock awards and units in the aggregate amount of approximately 7.8 million shares under the 1999 Plan.

We adopted SFAS 123(R) on December 31, 2005, the beginning of our 2006 fiscal year, using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, results of prior periods have not been restated to reflect and do not include the impact of SFAS 123(R). Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), we recorded stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet recognized as of December 31, 2005 based on the fair value at the grant date in accordance with the original provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” In addition, we recorded compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted between December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure the estimated fair value of stock-based option awards issued under our Stock Incentive Plans and our ESPP.
We recognize stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the service periods of the stock-based compensation awards on a straight-line basis in indirect, general, and administrative (“IG&A”) expenses of our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Stock option awards expire in ten years from the date of grant. Stock options, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units vest over service periods that range from three to four years. SFAS 123(R) requires the estimation of forfeitures at the time of grant and then re-measured at least annually in order to estimate the amount of share-based awards that will ultimately vest. We estimate the forfeiture rate based on our historical experience. We allocated our stock-based compensation expenses entirely to IG&A expenses as the proportional expenses that would have been allocated to direct costs are not material. No stock-based compensation expense related to our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2006 because our ESPP qualifies as a non-compensatory plan under SFAS 123(R).
The following table presents our stock-based compensation expenses related to restricted stock awards and units, and the related income tax benefits recognized for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we presented the tax benefits from exercises and vesting of stock-based compensation awards in operating cash flows. As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R), tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation expense recognized for these stock-based compensation awards are classified as a financing cash inflow and as an operating cash outflow. Cash proceeds generated from employee stock option exercises and purchases by employees under our ESPP for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, are summarized below.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Effective January 1, 2006, we modified our ESPP to reduce the purchase discount of our common stock from 15% to 5% of the fair market value and to apply the discount only at the end of each of the six-month offering periods. Our revised ESPP qualifies as a non-compensatory plan under SFAS 123(R) because the purchase discount does not exceed the per-share issuance costs that would have been incurred through a public stock offering and the ESPP does not contain any option features. Accordingly, we did not recognize any compensation expense for common stock purchased through our ESPP. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we also did not recognize any compensation expense for common stock issued to employees through our ESPP in accordance with a specific exception under APB 25.
Restricted Stock Awards and Units
In light of the impact associated with the adoption of SFAS 123(R), our current policy, which began in October 2005, is to issue restricted stock awards and units, rather than stock options, to selected employees in order to minimize the volatility of our stock-based compensation expense.
We continue to record compensation expense related to restricted stock awards and units over the applicable vesting periods as required previously under APB 25 and now under SFAS 123(R). Such compensation expense was measured at the fair market value of the restricted stock awards and units at the grant date. As of June 30, 2006, we had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $41.8 million related to nonvested restricted stock awards and units. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.25 years. The total fair values of shares vested and the grant date fair values

The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised, determined as of the date of option exercise, for the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $11.1 million. As of June 30, 2006, we had unrecognized stock-based compensation expense of $5.8 million related to nonvested stock option awards. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 0.5 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $7.7 million.

Pro forma Information for Periods Prior to the Adoption of SFAS 123(R)
For periods presented prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we are required to disclose the pro forma results as if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123. In prior periods, we used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure the estimated fair value of stock options and the ESPP and we accounted for forfeitures as they occurred. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we did not issue employee stock options. We used the following assumptions to estimate stock option and ESPP compensation expense using the fair value method of accounting:

NOTE 8. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
We participate in joint ventures formed for the purpose of bidding, negotiating and executing projects. Sometimes we function as the sponsor or manager of the projects performed by the joint venture. Some of our joint ventures are variable interest entities (“VIE”) as defined by FIN 46(R). Accordingly, beginning April 30, 2004, we began consolidating one of our joint ventures for which we are the primary beneficiary. We have not guaranteed any debt on behalf of this joint venture, nor do any of the creditors of this joint venture have recourse to our general credit. This joint venture provides design, engineering, construction and construction management services to its customers relating to specific technology involving flue gas desulfurization processes. The total revenues of this VIE were $46.2 million and $40.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively. The total revenues of this VIE were $87.5 million and $69.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively. In addition, the following assets of this VIE as of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005 were consolidated into our financial statements:
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, | | | December 30, | |
| | 2006 | | | 2005 | |
| | (In thousands) | |
Cash | | $ | 45,518 | | | $ | 43,080 | |
Net accounts receivable | | | 23,768 | | | | 24,280 | |
Other assets | | | 11,396 | | | | 5,363 | |
| | | | | | |
| | $ | 80,682 | | | $ | 72,723 | |
| | | | | | |
We have no material variable interests in VIEs for which we are not the primary beneficiary.
Minority Interest
Minority interest represents the equity investment of minority owners in the income of joint ventures that we consolidate in our financial statements. We have historically included minority interest in other long-term liabilities because it was not material. Beginning the first quarter of 2006, we have presented minority interest separately on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2006 and in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006.
NOTE 9. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION
We are required to provide supplemental guarantor information because substantially all of our domestic operating subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under our 111/2% notes. Each of the subsidiary guarantors has fully and unconditionally guaranteed our obligations on a joint and several basis.
Substantially all of our income and cash flows are generated by our subsidiaries. We have no operating assets or operations other than our investments in subsidiaries. As a result, the funds necessary to meet our debt service obligations are provided in large part by distributions or advances from our subsidiaries. Financial conditions and operating requirements of the subsidiary guarantors may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries for the purposes of meeting our debt service obligations, including the payment of principal and interest on our 111/2% notes. In addition, legal restrictions (including local regulations), and contractual obligations associated with secured loans (such as equipment financings at the subsidiary level) may preclude the subsidiary guarantors’ ability to pay dividends or make loans or other distributions to us.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those described here. You should read this discussion in conjunction with: the section “Risk Factors,” beginning on page 54 and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Item 1, “Consolidated Financial Statements;” the footnotes to this report for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006; the section “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations;” and the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2005, which was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
OVERVIEW
Business Summary
We are one of the world’s largest engineering design services firms and a major federal government contractor for systems engineering and technical assistance, and operations and maintenance services. Our business focuses primarily on providing fee-based professional and technical services in the engineering and defense markets, although we perform some construction work. As a result, we are labor and not capital intensive. We derive income from our ability to generate revenues and collect cash from our clients through the billing of our employees’ time and our ability to manage our costs. We operate our business through two segments: the URS Division and the EG&G Division.
Our revenues are driven by our ability to attract qualified and productive employees, identify business opportunities, allocate our labor resources to profitable markets, secure new contracts, renew existing client agreements and provide outstanding services. Moreover, as a professional services company, the quality of the work generated by our employees is integral to our revenue generation.
Our costs are driven primarily by the compensation we pay to our employees, including fringe benefits, the cost of hiring subcontractors and other project-related expenses, and administrative, marketing, sales, bid and proposal, rental and other overhead costs.
Revenues for Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
Consolidated revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased 11.3% over the consolidated revenues for the three months ended July 1, 2005.
Revenues from our federal government clients for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased approximately 12% compared with the corresponding period last year. The increase reflects continued growth in the services we provide to the Department of Defense (“DOD”) and the Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”), as a result of additional spending on engineering and technical services and operations and maintenance activities. In addition, we experienced an increase in environmental and facilities projects under both existing DOD contracts and new contract awards in the second quarter of our 2006 fiscal year. Furthermore, we continued to see strong demand for services related to the recovery and rebuilding efforts in the Gulf Coast region.
Revenues from our state and local government clients for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased approximately 3% compared with the corresponding period last year. We continue to see favorable market conditions in this sector of our business. Many states have reported increases in tax receipts and, as a result, have increased their general fund budgets. The increase in general fund budgets and the improving economic and fiscal situation have reduced the pressure to limit infrastructure spending or shift funds away from infrastructure contracts, including transportation programs. The passage of the highway and transit bill, the Safe, Accountable, Flexible,
35
Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (“SAFETEA-LU”), during 2005 also had a positive effect on revenues from our state and local government clients. In addition, infrastructure investments are being given higher priority by state and local governments across the country. Overall, we also are experiencing an increase in the water/wastewater and school facilities portions of our state and local government market.
Revenues from our domestic private industry clients for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased 25% compared with the corresponding period last year, primarily reflecting strong growth in the services we provide under long-term Master Service Agreements (“MSAs”) with multinational corporations, particularly among clients in the oil and gas and mining industries. The growth in MSAs also has reduced our marketing expenses and improved our professional labor utilization levels. The increase in our domestic private industry revenues is also partially driven by increased investment by our private industry clients as a result of higher energy and commodity prices and higher industrial capacity utilization. We also are experiencing continued growth in the emissions control portion of our power sector business.
Revenues from our international clients for the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased approximately 3% compared with the corresponding period last year. Approximately 2% of the decrease was due to foreign currency fluctuations. The remaining 1% of the decrease was largely the result of reduced staffing levels in two European countries. We continue to focus on MSAs and our relationships with multinational clients in the U.S., which enables us to win new assignments internationally. We also continue to diversify our international business beyond environmental services into the facilities and infrastructure markets.
Cash Flows and Debt
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we generated $11.1 million in cash from operations. (See “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” to our “Consolidated Financial Statements” included under Item 1 of this report.) Cash flows from operations decreased by $76.9 million compared with the corresponding period last year primarily due to the timing of payments to vendors and subcontractors and, during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the funding of employer 401(k) contributions and bonuses. Our ratio of debt to total capitalization (total debt divided by the sum of debt and total stockholder’s equity) decreased from 19% at December 30, 2005 to 16% at June 30, 2006. The decrease in our debt to total capitalization ratio reflects our continued focus on de-leveraging our balance sheet.
Business Trends for Fiscal Year 2006
We expect revenues from our federal government clients to continue to grow steadily throughout fiscal year 2006 compared to fiscal year 2005, based on secured funding and anticipated spending by the DOD and the DHS. The federal budget includes increases in funding for Operations and Maintenance, and Research, Development, Test and Evaluation – two of the largest service offerings in the EG&G Division’s business. In addition, the DHS budget for fiscal 2006 provides increased funding for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”) and for first responder grants and training assistance. As a result, we expect to see additional federal government opportunities in the operations and maintenance, military construction, emergency response and the homeland security markets. Furthermore, we expect that environmental services for military sites under existing DOD contracts will increase. We may also see increased opportunities for our URS and EG&G Divisions through the increasing use of large “bundled” contracts issued by the DOD, which typically require the provision of a full range of services at multiple sites throughout the world.
In addition, we expect that our volume of work to develop or modify weapons systems, and to repair, modify and maintain military equipment will continue to increase throughout fiscal year 2006 due to the continuing high level of military activities in the Middle East. We expect this trend to continue during and for some period of time after the military efforts in Iraq wind down.
Finally, we expect that the most recent round of Base Realignment and Closure (“BRAC’) activities, which are designed to realign and reduce global military infrastructure, will provide additional growth opportunities for our federal business over the next several years. Many of the U.S.’s military bases will require planning, design and environmental services before they can be realigned, closed or redeveloped. Accordingly, the BRAC program may
36
result in new opportunities for our URS Division, although it may have both positive and negative impacts on our EG&G Division.
We expect revenues from our state and local government clients to increase during fiscal year 2006 compared to fiscal year 2005. As state economies and revenues continue to improve, we expect to see increased spending on programs for which we provide services, such as surface transportation, facilities and water and wastewater projects. The $287 billion highway funding bill, SAFETEA-LU, will continue to re-start many projects that have been initiated but delayed for lack of stable funding and will provide funding for new projects. In addition, we expect that the damage to infrastructure caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita will continue to bring increased opportunities for major infrastructure projects associated with rebuilding in and around New Orleans and other areas of the Gulf Coast region.
We expect revenues from our domestic private industry clients to continue to grow steadily during fiscal year 2006 compared to fiscal year 2005. During 2006, the domestic private industry market has shown significant improvement, particularly in the mining, power and oil and gas sectors. In addition, higher energy and commodity prices and higher industrial capacity utilization may also lead to further increases in private industry investment. We expect to continue to benefit from our growing number of MSA contracts with multinational companies. We also expect continued growth in the emissions control portion of the power sector business, resulting from the requirements of the Clean Air Act and most recently, the Clean Air Interstate and Clean Air Mercury rules. These new rules are accelerating the requirements for power companies to cut sulfur dioxide and mercury emissions.
Notwithstanding the impact of foreign currency exchange rates, we expect that revenues from our international business clients will continue to increase slightly during the 2006 fiscal year compared to fiscal year 2005. The growth in MSAs in our domestic private sector business has strengthened revenues from our international private sector clients. We also expect increasing demand for our facilities design services for the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense and for the U.S. DOD at military installations overseas. In addition, we may see further international opportunities due to more stringent environmental regulations from the European Union. In the Asia-Pacific region, strong economic growth is expected to increase opportunities in the infrastructure market, and the increased global demand for mineral resources is expected to provide additional opportunities in the mining sector.
Stock-based Compensation Expense
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) on December 31, 2005, the beginning of our 2006 fiscal year, using the modified prospective transition method. Accordingly, results of prior periods have not been restated to reflect and do not include the impact of SFAS 123(R). Upon adoption of SFAS 123(R), we recorded stock-based compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted prior to, but not yet recognized as of December 31, 2005, based on the fair value at the grant date in accordance with the original provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” In addition, we recorded compensation expense for the share-based payment awards granted between December 31, 2005 and June 30, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to measure the estimated fair value of stock-based option awards.
In light of the impact associated with the adoption of SFAS 123(R), our current policy, which began in October 2005, is to issue restricted stock awards and units, rather than stock options, to selected employees in order to minimize the volatility of our stock-based compensation expense.
We recognize stock-based compensation expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the service period of the stock-based compensation awards on a straight-line basis in indirect, general, and administrative (“IG&A”) expenses of our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Stock option awards expire in ten years from the date of grant. Stock options, restricted stock awards, and restricted stock units vest over service periods that range from three to four years. We estimate the rate of forfeitures based on our historical experience. We allocated our stock-based compensation expenses entirely to IG&A expenses as the proportional expenses that would have been allocated to direct costs are not material. Our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) qualifies as
37
a non-compensatory plan under SFAS 123(R). The following table shows the reduction in net income and diluted earnings per share as a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) in 2006.

Three Months ended June 30, 2006 compared with July 1, 2005
Our consolidated revenuesfor the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 11.3% compared with the corresponding period last year. The increase was due primarily to higher volumes of work performed for our federal government and domestic private industry clients during the three months ended June 30, 2006, compared with the same period last year. We also experienced a less significant increase in revenues from state and local government clients. These increases were partially offset by a slight decrease in revenues from our international clients.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Revenues from our federal government clients for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 12% compared with the corresponding period last year. The increase reflects continued growth in the EG&G Division’s operations and maintenance work for military equipment associated with the continued high level of activities in the Middle East, as well as increased demand for systems engineering and technical assistance services for the development, testing and evaluation of weapons systems. The volume of task orders issued under the URS Division’s Indefinite Delivery Contracts (“IDCs”) for the federal government continued to increase, particularly for infrastructure, facilities and environmental projects under both existing DOD contracts and new contract awards in the second quarter of our 2006 fiscal year. Furthermore, we continued to see strong demand for services related to the hurricane recovery and rebuilding efforts in the Gulf Coast region.
We derive the majority of our work in the state and local government, domestic private industry and international sectors from our URS Division. Further discussion of the factors and activities that drove changes in operations on a segment basis for the three months ended June 30, 2006 can be found beginning on page 41.
Our consolidated direct operating expensesfor the three months ended June 30, 2006, which consist of direct labor, subcontractor costs and other direct expenses, increased by 11.3% compared with the corresponding period last year. Because our revenues are primarily service-based, the factors that caused revenue growth also drove a corresponding increase in our direct operating expenses.
Our consolidated gross profitfor the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 11.2% compared with the corresponding period last year, due to the increase in our revenue volume described previously. Our gross margin percentage remained relatively consistent with the corresponding period last year.
Our consolidated indirect, general and administrative(“IG&A”) expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased by 0.4% compared with the corresponding period last year. The decrease was due to recognition of $32.3 million of loss on debt extinguishment during the second quarter ended July 1 of fiscal 2005, offset by increases in labor and employee-related expenses of $24.9 million and insurance of $3.2 million. The increases in labor and employee-related expenses were due to both an increase in employee headcount and an increase in cost per employee, including stock compensation cost of $4.1 million (of which $1.5 million was recognized for the first time as SFAS 123(R) was implemented at the beginning of the first quarter ended March 31, 2006).
Our consolidated net interest expensefor the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased due to lower debt balances and repayments of our long-term debt.
Our effective income tax ratesfor the three months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 were 41.9% and 39.9%, respectively. The increase in effective tax rate compared with the corresponding period last year was primarily due to an increase in our estimates of state and local tax liabilities for 2005 and 2006. In addition, during
39
the second quarter of 2005, we recognized differences between estimated amounts we had previously accrued and final amounts included in our 2004 tax return filings. Such differences did not recur during the second quarter of 2006.
Our consolidated operating income, net income and diluted earnings per shareincreased as a result of the factors previously described.

Revenues from the URS Division’s federal government clients for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 11% compared with the corresponding period last year. The increase was driven primarily by increases in infrastructure, facilities and environmental projects under existing and new contracts with the DOD, including new assignments in support of the BRAC program. Revenues from homeland security projects also contributed to this growth, as we continue to provide a range of engineering services to the DHS. This work includes developing plans and conducting exercises to help states and communities prepare for natural and manmade disasters, preparing designs to help protect federal facilities from terrorist attacks and providing emergency response and disaster recovery services for FEMA, which is now a part of DHS. We also continued to experience strong demand for our services related to recovery and rebuilding efforts in the Gulf Coast region.
Revenues from our state and local government clients for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 3% compared with the corresponding period last year. We are seeing favorable market conditions in the state and local markets. States are continuing to recover from the recent recession and are beginning to increase spending on programs for which we provide services, such as surface transportation, facilities and water/wastewater projects. The passage of SAFETEA-LU during 2005 also is having a positive effect on revenues from our state and local government clients. Overall, we are benefiting from an increased political focus on infrastructure investment and an increase in the water/wastewater and school facilities portions of our state and local government market. In coastal states, we are also benefiting from increased funding to support flood and storm protection initiatives in the wake of last year’s devastating hurricane season.
Revenues from our domestic private industry clients for the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 25% compared with the corresponding period last year. The growth in revenues from our private industry clients is primarily due to the strong growth in the services we provide under MSAs, particularly among clients in the oil and gas and mining industries. The increase in our domestic private industry revenues is also partially driven by increased investment by our private industry clients as a result of higher energy and commodity prices and higher industrial capacity utilization. Revenues from our top clients in the oil and gas, power, mining and pipeline sectors were strong for the second quarter of 2006 and continued to grow due to higher fuel prices, which has increased oil and gas company revenues and led to additional investment in gas and pipeline infrastructure projects. We also experienced growth in demand for engineering and environmental services among many of our mining sector clients, as they expand their operations to meet increased global demand for minerals resources. In addition, we experienced moderate growth in the chemical/pharmaceutical sector. We have also successfully increased the number of client relationships managed under MSAs, reducing the number of stand-alone consulting assignments and the marketing expenses associated with pursuing these assignments, while improving our professional labor utilization levels.

Revenues from our international clients for the three months ended June 30, 2006 decreased by 3% compared with the corresponding period last year. Approximately 2% of the decrease was due to foreign currency fluctuations. The remaining 1% of the decrease was largely the result of reduced staffing levels in two European countries. We continued to benefit from the work we perform for multinational clients outside the United States under MSAs and the diversification of our international business beyond environmental work into the facilities and infrastructure markets.
In the Asia-Pacific region, strong economic growth has led to increased funding for transportation, facilities, and water and wastewater projects. The increased global demand for mineral resources has also resulted in additional projects for the mining industry. In Europe, we continued to benefit from more stringent environmental directives from the European Union, leading to increased work on environmental, sustainable development, water and wastewater. and carbon emissions control projects.
The URS Division’s direct operating expensesfor the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 11.4% compared with the corresponding period last year. The factors that caused revenue growth also drove an increase in our direct operating expenses.
The URS Division’s gross profitfor the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 9.9% compared with the corresponding period last year, primarily due to the increase in revenue volume previously described. Our gross profit margin percentage remained relatively consistent with the corresponding period last year.
The URS Division’s IG&A expensesfor the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 10.9% compared with the corresponding period last year. Approximately $11.5 million of the increases was due to employee-related expenses, resulting from both an increase in employee headcount and an increase in cost per employee, including stock compensation cost (for which stock option expense was recognized for the first time as SFAS 123(R) was implemented at the beginning of the first quarter ended March 31, 2006). The remainder of the increase was due to a $5.8 million increase in indirect labor, a $2.2 million increase in insurance expense, and a $2.1 million increase in legal expense. These increases were offset by a decrease in bad debt expense of $2.7 million.
EG&G Division
The EG&G Division’s revenuesfor the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 13.0% compared with the corresponding period last year. This increase was the result of the continuing high level of military activities in the Middle East, resulting in an increasing volume of operations and maintenance and modification work on military vehicles and weapons. Engineering and technical assistance services for the development, testing and evaluation of weapons systems also increased. In addition, we earned larger award fees from services related to the de-militarization of chemical weapons compared with the corresponding period in 2005.
The EG&G Division’s direct operating expensesfor the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 12.4% compared with the corresponding period last year. Higher revenues drove an increase in our direct operating expenses.
The EG&G Division’s gross profitfor the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 14.8% compared with the corresponding period last year. The increase in gross profit was primarily due to higher revenues from existing defense technical services and military equipment maintenance contracts. Our gross profit margin remained relatively consistent with the corresponding period last year.
The EG&G Division’s IG&A expensesfor the three months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 11.9% compared with the corresponding period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher business volume. The EG&G Division’s indirect expenses are generally variable in nature and, as such, any increase in business volume tends to result in higher indirect expenses. Approximately $7.0 million of the increase was due to labor and employee-related expense, resulting from both an increase in employee headcount and an increase in cost per employee, including stock-based compensation cost (for which stock option expense was recognized for the first time as SFAS 123(R) was implemented at the beginning of the first quarter ended March 31, 2006). Indirect

expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 21.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2006, from 21.7% for the three months ended July 1, 2005.

Six Months ended June 30, 2006 compared with July 1, 2005
Our consolidated revenuesfor the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 9.8% compared with the corresponding period last year. The increase was due primarily to a higher volume of work performed for our federal government clients and our domestic private industry clients. We also experienced a less significant increase in revenues from state and local government and international clients during the six months ended June 30, 2006, compared with the same period last year.
The following table presents our consolidated revenues by client type for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005.

Revenues from our federal government clients for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 13% compared with the corresponding period last year. The increase reflects continued growth in the EG&G Division’s operations and maintenance work for military equipment associated with the continued high level of activities in the Middle East, as well as increased demand for systems engineering and technical assistance services for the development, testing and evaluation of weapons systems. The volume of task orders issued under the URS Division’s IDCs for the federal government continued to increase, particularly for infrastructure, facilities and environmental projects under both existing DOD contracts and new contract awards in the first and second quarters of our 2006 fiscal year. Furthermore, we continued to see strong demand for services related to hurricane recovery and rebuilding efforts in the Gulf Coast region.
We derive the majority of our work in the state and local government, domestic private industry and international sectors from our URS Division. Further discussion of the factors and activities that drove changes in operations on a segment basis for the six months ended June 30, 2006 can be found beginning on page 46.
Our consolidated direct operating expensesfor the six months ended June 30, 2006, which consist of direct labor, subcontractor costs and other direct expenses, increased by 9.3% compared with the corresponding period last year. Because our revenues are primarily service-based, the factors that caused revenue growth also drove a corresponding increase in our direct operating expenses.
Our consolidated gross profitfor the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 10.6% compared with the corresponding period last year, due to the increase in our revenue volume described previously. Our gross margin percentage remained relatively consistent with the corresponding period last year.
Our consolidated indirect, general and administrative(“IG&A”) expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 4.8% compared with the corresponding period last year. Approximately $40.0 million of the increase was due to employee-related expenses, resulting from both an increase in headcount and an increase in cost per employee, including stock compensation cost of $7.9 million, (of which $3.7 million stock option expense was recognized for the first time as SFAS 123(R) was implemented at the beginning of the first quarter ended March 31, 2006). The remaining increases were due to an $11.3 million increase in indirect labor, a $4.4 million increase in costs for external consultants, a $4.2 million increase in legal expense, a $3.4 million increase in rent expense, and a $3.3 million increase in insurance cost. These increases were offset by a $4.9 million decrease in other miscellaneous general and administrative expenses, and a $33.1 million of debt extinguishment charge, which was recognized during the six months ended July 1, 2005. There were no debt extinguishment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Our consolidated net interest expensefor the six months ended June 30, 2006 decreased due to lower debt balances and repayments of our long-term debt.
Our effective income tax ratesfor the six months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 were 42.1% and 40.7%, respectively. The increase in effective tax rate compared with the corresponding period last year was primarily due to an increase in our estimates of state and local tax liabilities for 2005 and 2006. In addition, during the six months ended July 1, 2005, we recognized differences between estimated amounts we had previously accrued and final amounts included in our 2004 tax return filings. Such differences did not recur during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Our consolidated operating income, net income and diluted earnings per shareincreased as a result of the factors previously described.

We also continued to experience strong demand for our services related to hurricane recovery and rebuilding efforts in the Gulf Coast states.
Revenues from our state and local government clients for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 1% compared with the corresponding period last year. States are continuing to recover from the recent recession and are beginning to increase spending on programs for which we provide services, such as surface transportation, facilities and water/wastewater projects. The passage of SAFETEA-LU during 2005 is having a positive effect on revenues from our state and local government clients.

In coastal states, we are also benefiting from increased funding to support flood and storm protection initiatives in the wake of last year’s devastating hurricane season.
Revenues from our domestic private industry clients for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 16% compared with the corresponding period last year. The growth in revenues from our private industry clients is due in part to the growth of the emissions control portion of our power sector business in response to stricter air pollution control limits under the Clean Air Interstate and Clean Air Mercury rules. The growth in revenues from our private industry clients is also due to growth in the services we provide under MSAs, particularly for clients in the oil and gas and mining industries. The increase in our domestic private industry revenues is also partially driven by increased investment by our private industry clients as a result of higher energy and commodity prices and higher industrial capacity utilization. Revenues from our top clients in the oil and gas, power, mining and pipeline sectors were strong for the first half of 2006 and continued to grow due to higher gasoline prices, which increased oil and gas company revenues, leading to additional investment in gas and pipeline infrastructure projects. We also experienced growth in demand for engineering and environmental services among many of our mining sector clients, as they expand their operations to meet increased global demand for mineral resources. In addition, we experienced moderate growth in the chemical/pharmaceutical sector. We have also successfully increased the number of client relationships managed under MSAs, reducing the number of stand-alone consulting assignments and the marketing expenses associated with pursuing these assignments while improving our professional labor utilization levels.

Revenues from our international clients for the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 2% compared with the corresponding period last year. Foreign currency exchange fluctuations caused a 5% decrease in revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2006. The resulting increase in revenues of 7% was due to the growing volume of work we perform for multinational clients outside the United States under MSAs and the diversification of our international business beyond environmental work into the facilities and infrastructure markets.
In the Asia-Pacific region, strong economic growth has led to increased funding for transportation, facilities, and water and wastewater projects. The increased global demand for mineral resources has also resulted in additional projects for the mining industry. In Europe, we continued to benefit from more stringent environmental directives from the European Union, leading to increased work on environmental, sustainable development, water and wastewater, and carbon emissions control projects.

The URS Division’s IG&A expensesfor the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 10.2% compared with the corresponding period last year., Approximately $24.2 million of the increase was due to labor and employee-related expenses resulting from both an increase in headcount and an increase in cost per employee, including stock compensation cost (for which stock option expense was recognized for the first time as SFAS 123(R) was implemented at the beginning of the first quarter ended March 31, 2006). The remainder of the increase was due to a $9.5 million increase in indirect labor, and a $4.4 million increase in legal expense.
EG&G Division
The EG&G Division’s revenuesfor the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 13.6% compared with the corresponding period last year. This increase was the result of the continuing high level of military activities in the Middle East, resulting in an increasing volume of operations and maintenance and modification work on military vehicles and weapons. Revenues from the specialized systems engineering and technical assistance services for the development, testing and evaluation of weapons systems also increased. In addition, we also earned larger award fees from services related to the de-militarization of chemical weapons compared with the corresponding period in 2005.
The EG&G Division’s direct operating expensesfor the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 12.7% compared with the corresponding period last year. Higher revenues drove an increase in our direct operating expenses.
The EG&G Division’s gross profitfor the six months ended June 30, 2006 increased by 16.1% compared with the corresponding period last year.

Cash flows used by financing activities | | | (25.6 | ) | | | (112.1 | ) |
During the six months ended June 30, 2006, our primary sources of liquidity were cash flows from operations and borrowings from our senior credit facility (“Credit Facility”). Our primary uses of cash are to fund our working capital and capital expenditures and to service our debt. We believe that we have sufficient resources to fund our operating and capital expenditure requirements, as well as service our debt, for the next 12 months and beyond. If we experience a significant change in our business such as the consummation of a significant acquisition, we would likely need to acquire additional sources of financing. We believe that we would be able to obtain adequate resources to address significant changes in our business at reasonable rates and terms, as necessary, based on our experience with business acquisitions.
We are dependent on the cash flows generated by our subsidiaries and, consequently, on their ability to collect payments for the services they render. Substantially all of our cash flows are generated by our subsidiaries. As a result, the funds necessary to meet our debt service obligations are provided in large part by distributions or advances from our subsidiaries. The financial condition and operational requirements of our subsidiaries may limit our ability to obtain cash from them.
Billings and collections on accounts receivable can affect our operating cash flows. Management places significant emphasis on collection efforts, has assessed the adequacy of our allowance for doubtful accounts receivables as of June 30, 2006 and has deemed them to be adequate; however, future economic conditions may adversely impact some of our clients’ ability to pay our bills or the timeliness of their payments. Consequently, it may also affect our ability to consistently collect cash from our clients and meet our operating needs.
Operating Activities
The decrease in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to the timing of payments to vendors and subcontractors and during the first quarter of fiscal 2006, the funding of employer 401(k) contributions and bonuses. This change was partially offset by an increase in accrued earnings in excess of billings on contracts in process, which resulted from the timing of billings. In addition, we received $17.6 million of net distributions from our unconsolidated affiliates during the six months ended June 30, 2006 while we received $7.1 million of net distributions from our unconsolidated affiliates during the six months ended July��1, 2005.
Business growth and the timing of payments previously described also caused working capital to increase during the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Investing Activities
As a professional services organization, we are not capital intensive. Capital expenditures historically have been primarily for computer-aided design, accounting and project management information systems, and general- purpose computer equipment to accommodate our growth. Capital expenditures, excluding purchases financed through capital leases, during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005 were $9.8 million and $9.1 million, respectively.

(2) | | These pension funding requirements for the EG&G pension plans, the Final Salary Pension Fund, the Radian International, L.L.C. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan and Salary Continuation Agreement, and the supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) with our CEO are based on actuarially determined estimates and management assumptions. We are obligated to fund approximately $11.5 million into a rabbi trust for our CEO’s SERP upon receiving a 15-day notice, his death or the termination of his employment for any reason. |
|
(3) | | Purchase obligations consist primarily of software maintenance contracts. |
|
(4) | | These operating leases are predominantly real estate leases. |
| Off-balance Sheet Arrangements. The following is a list of our off-balance sheet arrangements: |
|
| • | | As of June 30, 2006, we had a total available balance of $76.3 million in standby letters of credit under our Credit Facility. We use letters of credit primarily to support insurance programs, bonding arrangements and real estate leases. We are required to reimburse the issuers of letters of credit for any payments they make under the outstanding letters of credit. The Credit Facility covers the issuance of our standby letters of credit and is critical for our normal operations. If we default on the Credit Facility, our ability to issue or renew standby letters of credit would impair our ability to maintain normal operations. |
|
| • | | We have guaranteed the credit facility of one of our joint ventures, in the event of a default by the joint venture. This joint venture was formed in the ordinary course of business to perform a contract for the federal government. The term of the guarantee is equal to the remaining term of the underlying credit facility, which will expire on September 30, 2007. The amount of the guarantee was $6.5 million at June 30, 2006. |
|
| • | | From time to time, we have provided guarantees related to our services or work. If our services under a guaranteed project are later determined to have resulted in a material defect or other material deficiency, then we may be responsible for monetary damages or other legal remedies. When sufficient information about claims on guaranteed projects is available and monetary damages or other costs or losses are determined to be probable, we recognize such guarantee losses. Currently, we have no guarantee claims for which losses have been recognized. |
We have an agreement to indemnify one of our joint venture lenders up to $25.0 million for any potential losses and damages, and liabilities associated with lawsuits in relation to general and administrative services we provide to the joint venture. Currently, we have no indemnified claims.
Credit Facility. Our senior credit facility (“Credit Facility”) consists of a 6-year term loan of $350.0 million and a 5-year revolving line of credit of $300.0 million, against which up to $200.0 million is available to issue letters of credit. As of June 30, 2006, we had $205.0 million outstanding under the term loan, $76.3 million in letters of credit and no amount outstanding under the revolving line of credit.
All loans outstanding under our Credit Facility bear interest at either LIBOR or our bank’s base rate plus an applicable margin, at our option. The applicable margin will change based upon our credit rating as reported by Moody’s Investor Services and Standard & Poor’s. The LIBOR margins range from 0.625% to 1.75% and the base rate margins range from 0.0% to 0.75%. As of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, the LIBOR margin was 1.00% for both the term loan and revolving line of credit. As of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, the interest rates on our term loan were 6.50% and 5.53%, respectively.
As of June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our Credit Facility.

Revolving Line of Credit.A summary of our revolving line of credit information is as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | Six Months Ended |
| | June 30, 2006 | | June 30, 2006 |
| | (In millions, except percentages) |
Effective average interest rates paid on the revolving line of credit | | | 7.7 | % | | | 7.4 | % |
Average daily revolving line of credit balances | | $ | 0.1 | | | $ | 0.6 | |
Maximum amounts outstanding at any one point | | $ | 1.5 | | | $ | 21.8 | |
111/2% Senior Notes. As of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, we had outstanding amounts of $2.8 million, of the original outstanding principal, due 2009. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 111/2% notes are effectively subordinate to our Credit Facility, capital leases and notes payable. As of June 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all of the covenants of our 111/2% notes.
Notes payable, foreign credit lines and other indebtedness.As of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, we had outstanding amounts of $12.1 million and $9.6 million, respectively, in notes payable and foreign lines of credit. Notes payable consists primarily of notes used to finance small acquisitions, and the purchase of office equipment, computer equipment and furniture. The weighted average interest rates of these notes were approximately 6.2% and 5.6% as of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, respectively.
We maintain foreign lines of credit, which are collateralized by the assets of our foreign subsidiaries and letters of credit. As of June 30, 2006, we had $13.1 million in lines of credit available under these facilities, with $5.6 million outstanding. As of December 30, 2005, we had $10.0 million in lines of credit available under these facilities, with no amounts outstanding. The interest rates were 5.7% and 6.6% as of June 30, 2006 and December 30, 2005, respectively.
Capital Leases. As of June 30, 2006, we had $46.0 million in obligations under our capital leases, consisting primarily of leases for office equipment, computer equipment and furniture.
Operating Leases. As of June 30, 2006, we had approximately $445.6 million in obligations under our operating leases, consisting primarily of real estate leases.
Derivative Financial Instruments. We are exposed to risk of changes in interest rates as a result of borrowings under our Credit Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we did not enter into any interest rate derivatives due to our assessment of the costs/benefits of interest rate hedging. However, we may enter into derivative financial instruments in the future depending on changes in interest rates.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions in the application of certain accounting policies that affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in Item 1 of this report. In preparing these financial statements, we have made our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts, giving consideration to materiality. Historically, our estimates have not materially differed from actual results. Application of these accounting policies, however, involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties. Consequently, actual results could differ from our estimates.
51
The accounting policies that we believe are most critical to an investor’s understanding of our financial results and condition, and require complex management judgment are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2005. To date, there have been no material changes to these critical accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2006, except for the adoption of SFAS 123(R).
Adopted and Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards
Stock-Based Compensation
We adopted SFAS 123(R) on December 31, 2005, the beginning of our 2006 fiscal year, using the modified prospective transition method, which requires measurement of compensation expense for all stock-based awards at fair value on the grant date and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. Upon adoption, our consolidated financial statements reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R), but in accordance with the modified prospective transition method, prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of SFAS 123(R).
On November 10, 2005, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 123(R)-3, “Transition Election Related to Accounting for Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards” (“SFAS 123(R)-3”). The alternative transition method permitted by SFAS 123(R)-3 is a simplified method for establishing the beginning balance of the additional paid-in capital pool (“APIC Pool”) related to the tax effects of employee share-based compensation. We are in the process of evaluating whether to adopt the provisions of SFAS 123(R)-3.
See Note 7, “Stock-Based Compensation,” of our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this report, for a further discussion.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”) “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for recording in the financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on recognition or derecognition and measurement and classification of FIN 48 liability; accruals of interest and penalties; accounting for changes in judgment in interim periods; and disclosure requirements for uncertain tax positions. The accounting provisions of FIN 48 will be effective for us at the beginning fiscal year 2007. We are in the process of determining the effect that the adoption of FIN 48 will have on our financial statements.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest rate risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of our borrowings under our Credit Facility. Based on outstanding indebtedness of $205.0 million under our Credit Facility at June 30, 2006, if market rates average 1% higher in the next twelve months, our net of tax interest expense would increase by approximately $1.2 million. Conversely, if market rates average 1% lower in the next twelve months, our net of tax interest expense would decrease by approximately $1.2 million.
Foreign currency risk
The majority of our transactions are in U.S. dollars; however, our foreign subsidiaries conduct businesses in various foreign currencies. Therefore, we are subject to currency exposures and volatility because of currency fluctuations, inflation changes and economic conditions in these countries. We attempt to minimize our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations by matching our revenues and expenses in the same currency for our contracts. We had $2.5 million of foreign currency translation gains for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and $3.1 million of foreign
52
currency translation losses for the three months ended July 1, 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, we had $2.6 million of foreign currency translation gains and $3.8 million of foreign currency translation losses, respectively. The currency exposure is not material to our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Attached as exhibits to this Form 10-Q are certifications of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), which are required in accordance with Rule 13a-14 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). This “Controls and Procedures” section includes information concerning the controls and controls evaluation referred to in the certifications and should be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our CEO and CFO are responsible for establishing and maintaining “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in rules promulgated under the Exchange Act) for our company. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this quarterly report was (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and (2) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2006 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
The company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any system’s design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of a system’s control effectiveness into future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Various legal proceedings are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries alleging, among other things, breach of contract or tort in connection with the performance of professional services, the outcome of which cannot be predicted with certainty. See Note 5, “Commitments and Contingencies” to our “Consolidated Financial Statements” included under Part I — Item 1 of this report for a discussion of some of these legal proceedings. In some actions, parties are seeking damages, including punitive or treble damages that substantially exceed our insurance coverage.
Currently, we have limits of $125.0 million per loss and $125.0 million in the aggregate for a 13-month period for general liability, professional errors and omissions liability and contractor’s pollution liability insurance (in addition to other policies for some specific projects). The general liability policy includes a self-insured claim retention of $4.0 million (or $10.0 million in some circumstances). The professional errors and omissions liability and contractor’s pollution liability insurance policies each include a self-insured claim retention amount of $10.0 million each. In some actions, parties may seek punitive and treble damages that substantially exceed our insurance coverage.
Excess limits provided for these coverages are on a “claims made” basis, covering only claims actually made and reported during the policy period currently in effect. Thus, if we do not continue to maintain these policies, we will have no coverage for claims made after the termination date — even for claims based on events that occurred during the term of coverage. We intend to maintain these policies; however, we may be unable to maintain existing coverage levels. We have maintained insurance without lapse for many years with limits in excess of losses sustained.
Although the outcome of our legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and no assurances can be provided, based on our previous experience in such matters, we do not believe that any of the legal proceedings described in Note 5, “Commitments and Contingencies” to our “Consolidated Financial Statements” included under Part I — Item 1 of this report individually or collectively, are likely to materially exceed established loss accruals or our various professional errors and omissions, project-specific and potentially other insurance policies. However, the resolution of outstanding claims and litigation is subject to inherent uncertainty and it is reasonably possible that such resolution could have an adverse effect on us.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes to the Risk Factors that were disclosed in Part II, Item 1A of our Form 10-Q since the quarter ended on March 31, 2006. In addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, the following factors could affect our financial condition and results of operations:
Demand for our services is cyclical and vulnerable to economic downturns. If the economy weakens, then our revenues, profits and our financial condition may deteriorate.
Demand for our services is cyclical and vulnerable to economic downturns, which may result in clients delaying, curtailing or canceling proposed and existing projects. For example, there was a decrease in our URS Division revenues of $77.9 million, or 3.4%, in fiscal year 2002 compared to fiscal year 2001 as a result of the general economic decline. Our clients may demand better pricing terms and their ability to pay our invoices may be affected by a weakening economy. Our government clients may face budget deficits that prohibit them from funding proposed and existing projects. Our business traditionally lags the overall recovery in the economy; therefore, our business may not recover immediately when the economy improves. If the economy weakens, then our revenues, profits and overall financial condition may deteriorate.
54
Unexpected termination of a substantial portion of our book of business could harm our operations and significantly reduce our future revenues.
We account for all contract awards that may eventually be recognized as revenues as our “book of business,” which includes backlog, designations, option years and IDCs. Our backlog consists of the amount billable at a particular point in time, including task orders issued under IDCs. As of June 30, 2006, our backlog was approximately $4.4 billion. Our designations consist of projects that clients have awarded us, but for which we do not yet have signed contracts. Our option year contracts are multi-year contracts with base periods, plus option years that are exercisable by our clients without the need for us to go through another competitive bidding process. Our IDCs are signed contracts under which we perform work only when our clients issue specific task orders. Our book of business estimates may not result in actual revenues in any particular period since clients may terminate or delay projects, or decide not to award task orders under IDCs. Unexpected termination of a substantial portion of our book of business could harm our operations and significantly reduce our future revenues.
As a government contractor, we are subject to a number of procurement laws, regulations and government audits; a violation of any such laws and regulations could result in sanctions, contract termination, forfeiture of profit, harm to our reputation or loss of our status as an eligible government contractor.
We must comply with and are affected by federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of government contracts. For example, we must comply with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”), the Truth in Negotiations Act (“TINA”), the Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”), the Service Contract Act and the DOD security regulations, as well as many other laws and regulations. These laws and regulations affect how we transact business with our clients and in some instances, impose additional costs on our business operations. Even though we take precautions to prevent and deter fraud, misconduct and non-compliance, we face the risk that our employees or outside partners may engage in misconduct, fraud or other improper activities. Government agencies, such as the U.S. Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”), routinely audit and investigate government contractors. These government agencies review and audit a government contractor’s performance under its contracts and cost structure, and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. In addition, during the course of its audits, the DCAA may question incurred costs, if the DCAA believes we have accounted for such costs in a manner inconsistent with the requirements for the FAR or CAS, and recommend that our U.S. government corporate administrative contracting officer disallow such costs. Historically, we have not experienced significant disallowed costs as a result of such audits. However, we can provide no assurance that the DCAA or other government audits will not result in material disallowances for incurred costs in the future. Government contract violations could result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties or sanctions, contract termination, forfeiture of profit, and/or suspension of payment, any of which could make us lose our status as an eligible government contractor. We could also suffer serious harm to our reputation.
Because we depend on federal, state and local governments for a significant portion of our revenue, our inability to win or renew government contracts during regulated procurement processes could harm our operations and significantly reduce or eliminate our profits.
Revenues from federal government contracts represented approximately 49% and state and local government contracts represented approximately 21%, respectively, of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Our inability to win or renew government contracts could harm our operations and significantly reduce or eliminate our profits. Government contracts are typically awarded through a heavily regulated procurement process. Some government contracts are awarded to multiple competitors, causing increases in overall competition and pricing pressure. The competition and pricing pressure, in turn may require us to make sustained post-award efforts to reduce costs in order to realize revenues under these contracts. If we are not successful in reducing the amount of costs we anticipate, our profitability on these contracts will be negatively impacted. Moreover, even if we are qualified to work on a government contract, we may not be awarded the contract because of existing government policies designed to protect small businesses and underrepresented minority contractors. Finally, government clients can generally terminate or modify their contracts with us at their convenience.
55
Each year a portion of our existing and future government contracts may be subject to the legislative appropriations process. If legislative appropriations are not made in subsequent years of a multiple-year government contract, then we may not realize all of our potential revenues and profits from that contract.
Each year a portion of our existing and future government contracts may be subject to legislative appropriations. For example, the passage of the SAFETEA-LU highway and transit bill in August of 2005 has provided matching funds for a portion of our state transportation projects. Legislatures typically appropriate funds for a given program on a year-by-year basis, even though contract performance may take more than one year. As a result, at the beginning of a project, the related contract may only be partially funded, and additional funding is committed only as appropriations are made in each subsequent year. These appropriations, and the timing of payment of appropriated amounts, may be influenced by, among other things, the state of the economy, competing political priorities, curtailments in the use of government contracting firms, budget constraints, the timing and amount of tax receipts and the overall level of government expenditures. If appropriations are not made in subsequent years of a multiple-year contract, we may not realize all of our potential revenues and profits from that contract.
If we are unable to accurately estimate and control our contract costs, then we may incur losses on our contracts, which could decrease our operating margins and significantly reduce or eliminate our profits.
It is important for us to control our contract costs so that we can maintain positive operating margins. We generally enter into three principal types of contracts with our clients: cost-plus, fixed-price and time-and-materials. Under cost-plus contracts, which may be subject to contract ceiling amounts, we are reimbursed for allowable costs and fees, which may be fixed or performance-based. If our costs exceed the contract ceiling or are not allowable under the provisions of the contract or any applicable regulations, we may not be reimbursed for all our costs. Under fixed-price contracts, we receive a fixed price regardless of what our actual costs will be. Consequently, we realize a profit on fixed-price contracts only if we control our costs and prevent cost over-runs on the contracts. Under time-and-materials contracts, we are paid for labor at negotiated hourly billing rates and for other expenses. Profitability on our contracts is driven by billable headcount and our ability to manage costs. Under each type of contract, if we are unable to control costs, we may incur losses on our contracts, which could decrease our operating margins and significantly reduce or eliminate our profits.
Our actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions that we use to prepare our financial statements, which may significantly reduce or eliminate our profits.
To prepare financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements, which affect the reported values of assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Areas requiring significant estimates by our management include:
| • | | the application of the “percentage-of-completion” method of accounting, and revenue recognition on contracts, change orders, and contract claims; |
|
| • | | provisions for uncollectible receivables and customer claims and recoveries of costs from subcontractors, vendors and others; |
|
| • | | provisions for income taxes and related valuation allowances; |
|
| • | | value of goodwill and recoverability of other intangible assets; |
|
| • | | valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in connection with business combinations; |
|
| • | | valuation of defined benefit pension plans and other employee benefit plans; |
56
| • | | valuation of stock-based compensation expense; and |
|
| • | | accruals for estimated liabilities, including litigation and insurance reserves. |
Our actual results could differ from those estimates, which may significantly reduce or eliminate our profits.
Our use of the “percentage-of-completion” method of accounting could result in reduction or reversal of previously recorded revenues and profits.
A substantial portion of our revenues and profits are measured and recognized using the “percentage-of-completion” method of accounting, which is discussed in Note 1, “Accounting Policies,” to our “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included under Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our use of this accounting method results in recognition of revenues and profits ratably over the life of a contract, based generally on the proportion of costs incurred to date to total costs expected to be incurred for the entire project. The effects of revisions to revenues and estimated costs are recorded when the amounts are known or can be reasonably estimated. Such revisions could occur in any period and their effects could be material. Although we have historically made reasonably reliable estimates of the progress towards completion of long-term engineering, program and construction management or construction contracts in process, the uncertainties inherent in the estimating process make it possible for actual costs to vary materially from estimates, including reductions or reversals of previously recorded revenues and profits.
If we fail to timely complete, miss a required performance standard or otherwise fail to adequately perform on a project, then we may incur a loss on that project, which may reduce or eliminate our overall profitability.
We may commit to a client that we will complete a project by a scheduled date. We may also commit that a project, when completed, will achieve specified performance standards. If the project is not completed by the scheduled date or fails to meet required performance standards, we may either incur significant additional costs or be held responsible for the costs incurred by the client to rectify damages due to late completion or failure to achieve the required performance standards. The uncertainty of the timing of a project can present difficulties in planning the amount of personnel needed for the project. If the project is delayed or canceled, we may bear the cost of an underutilized workforce that was dedicated to fulfilling the project. In addition, performance of projects can be affected by a number of factors beyond our control, including unavoidable delays from weather conditions, unavailability of vendor materials, changes in the project scope of services requested by clients or labor disruptions. In some cases, should we fail to meet required performance standards, we may also be subject to agreed-upon financial damages, which are determined by the contract. To the extent that these events occur, the total costs of the project could exceed our estimates and we could experience reduced profits or, in some cases, incur a loss on that project, which may reduce or eliminate our overall profitability.
If our partners fail to perform their contractual obligations on a project, we could be exposed to legal liability, loss of reputation or reduced or eliminated profits.
We sometimes enter into subcontracts, joint ventures and other contractual arrangements with outside partners to jointly bid on and execute a particular project. The success of these joint projects depends upon, among other things, the satisfactory performance of the contractual obligations of our partners. If any of our partners fails to satisfactorily perform its contractual obligations, we may be required to make additional expenditures and provide additional services to complete the project. If we are unable to adequately address our partner’s performance issues, then our client could terminate the joint project, exposing us to legal liability, loss of reputation or reduced or eliminated profits.
57
Our business depends on our ability to consistently bid and win new contracts and renew existing contracts and, therefore, our failure to effectively obtain future contracts could adversely reduce or eliminate our profitability.
Our business and our profitability depend on our ability to successfully bid on new contracts and renew existing contracts. Contract proposals and negotiations are complex and frequently involve a lengthy bidding and selection process, which is affected by a number of factors, such as market conditions, financing arrangements and required governmental approvals. For example, a client may require us to provide a bond or letter of credit to protect the client should we fail to perform under the terms of the contract. If negative market conditions arise, or if we fail to secure adequate financial arrangements or the required governmental approval, we may not be able to pursue particular projects, which could adversely reduce or eliminate our profitability.
We may be subject to substantial liabilities under environmental laws and regulations.
A portion of our environmental business involves the planning, design, program and construction management and operation and maintenance of pollution control facilities, hazardous waste or Superfund sites and military bases. In addition, we contract with U.S. governmental entities to destroy hazardous materials, including chemical agents and weapons stockpiles. These activities may require us to manage, handle, remove, treat, transport and dispose of toxic or hazardous substances. We must comply with a number of governmental laws that strictly regulate the handling, removal, treatment, transportation and disposal of toxic and hazardous substances. Under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”) and comparable state laws, we may be required to investigate and remediate regulated hazardous materials. CERCLA and comparable state laws typically impose strict, joint and several liabilities without regard to whether a company knew of or caused the release of hazardous substances. The liability for the entire cost of clean-up can be imposed upon any responsible party. Other principal federal environmental, health and safety laws affecting us include, but are not limited to, the RCRA, the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Air Act, the Clean Air Interstate Rule, the Clean Air Mercury Rule, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act and the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act. Our business operations may also be subject to similar state and international laws relating to environmental protection. Liabilities related to environmental contamination or human exposure to hazardous substances, or a failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in substantial costs to us, including clean-up costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third party claims for property damage or personal injury or cessation of remediation activities. Our continuing work in the areas governed by these laws and regulations exposes us to the risk of substantial liability; however, we are currently not subject to any material claims under environmental laws and regulations.
Changes in environmental laws, regulations and programs could reduce demand for our environmental services, which could in turn negatively impact our revenues.
Our environmental services business is driven by federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations and programs related to pollution and environmental protection. For example, passage of the Clean Air Interstate and Clean Air Mercury environmental rules has increased our emissions control business. Accordingly, a relaxation or repeal of these laws and regulations, or changes in governmental policies regarding the funding, implementation or enforcement of these programs, could result in a decline in demand for environmental services, which could in turn negatively impact our revenues.
Our liability for damages due to legal proceedings may adversely affect us and result in a significant loss.
Various legal proceedings are pending against us in connection with the performance of our professional services and other actions by us, the outcome of which cannot be predicted with certainty. For example, in performing our services we may be exposed to cost overruns, personal injury claims, property damage, labor shortages or disputes, weather problems and unforeseen engineering, architectural, environmental and geological problems. In some actions, parties may seek damages that exceed our insurance coverage. Currently, we have limits of $125.0 million per loss and $125.0 million in the aggregate for a 13-month period for general liability, professional errors and omissions liability and contractor’s pollution liability insurance (in addition to other policies
58
for some specific projects). The general liability policy includes a self-insured claim retention of $4.0 million (or $10.0 million in some circumstances). The professional errors and omissions liability and contractor’s pollution liability insurance policies include a self-insured claim retention amount of $10.0 million each. Our services may require us to make judgments and recommendations about environmental, structural, geotechnical and other physical conditions at project sites. If our performance, judgments and recommendations are later found to be incomplete or incorrect, then we may be liable for the resulting damages. Although the outcome of our legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty and no assurance can be provided as to a favorable outcome, based on our previous experience in these matters, we do not believe that any of our legal proceedings, individually or collectively, are likely to exceed established loss accruals or our various professional errors and omissions, project-specific and other insurance policies. However, the resolution of outstanding claims is subject to inherent uncertainty and it is reasonably possible that any resolution could have an adverse effect on us. If we sustain damages that exceed our insurance coverage or for which we are not insured, our results of operations and financial condition could be harmed.
A decline in U.S. defense spending could harm our operations and significantly reduce our future revenues.
Revenues under contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense and other defense-related clients represented approximately 37% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006. While spending authorization for defense-related programs has increased significantly in recent years due to greater homeland security and foreign military commitments, as well as the trend to outsource federal government jobs to the private sector, these spending levels may not be sustainable. Future levels of expenditures and authorizations for these programs may decrease, remain constant or shift to programs in areas where we do not currently provide services. As a result, a general decline in U.S. defense spending could harm our operations and significantly reduce our future revenues.
Our overall market share will decline if we are unable to compete successfully in our industry.
Our industry is highly fragmented and intensely competitive. According to the publication Engineering News-Record, based on information voluntarily reported by various companies, the top twenty engineering design firms only accounted for approximately 45% of the total design firm revenues in 2004. Our competitors are numerous, ranging from small private firms to multi-billion dollar public companies. In addition, the technical and professional aspects of our services generally do not require large upfront capital expenditures and provide limited barriers against new competitors. Some of our competitors have achieved greater market penetration in some of the markets in which we compete and have substantially more financial resources and/or financial flexibility than we do. As a result of the number of competitors in the industry, our clients may select one of our competitors on a project due to competitive pricing or a specific skill set. If we are unable to maintain our competitiveness, our market share will decline. These competitive forces could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations by reducing our relative share in the markets we serve.
Our failure to attract and retain key employees could impair our ability to provide services to our clients and otherwise conduct our business effectively.
As a professional and technical services company, we are labor intensive and therefore our ability to attract, retain and expand our senior management and our professional and technical staff is an important factor in determining our future success. From time to time, it may be difficult to attract and retain qualified individuals with the expertise and in the timeframe demanded by our clients. For example, some of our government contracts may require us to employ only individuals who have particular government security clearance levels. In addition, we rely heavily upon the expertise and leadership of our senior management. The failure to attract and retain key individuals could impair our ability to provide services to our clients and conduct our business effectively.
59
Recent changes in accounting for equity-related compensation have impacted our financial statements and could negatively impact our ability to attract and retain key employees.
Upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we evaluated our current stock-based compensation plans and employee stock purchase plans. In order to minimize the volatility of our stock-based compensation expense, we are currently issuing restricted stock awards and units to selected employees rather than granting stock options. We also revised our employee stock purchase plan from a 15% discount on our stock price at the beginning or the end of the six-month offering period, whichever is lower, to a 5% discount on our stock price at the end of the six-month offering period. These changes to our equity-related compensation may negatively impact our ability to attract and retain key employees.
Our indebtedness could limit our ability to finance future operations or engage in other business activities.
As of June 30, 2006, we had $265.9 million of total outstanding indebtedness and $76.3 million in letters of credit outstanding against our revolving line of credit. This level of indebtedness could negatively affect us because it may impair our ability to borrow in the future and make us more vulnerable in an economic downturn. In addition, our current credit facility contains financial ratios and other covenants, which may limit our ability to, among other things:
| • | | incur additional indebtedness; |
|
| • | | create liens securing debt or other encumbrances on our assets; and |
|
| • | | enter into transactions with our stockholders and affiliates. |
Although we are in compliance with all current credit facility covenants, our indebtedness could limit our ability to finance future operations or engage in other business activities.
Because we are a holding company, we may not be able to service our debt if our subsidiaries do not make sufficient distributions to us.
We have no direct operations and no significant assets other than investments in the stock of our subsidiaries. Because we conduct our business operations through our operating subsidiaries, we depend on those entities for payments and dividends to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations. Legal restrictions, including local regulations and contractual obligations associated with secured loans, such as equipment financings, may restrict our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make loans or other distributions to us. The earnings from, or other available assets of, these operating subsidiaries may not be sufficient to make distributions to enable us to pay interest on our debt obligations when due or to pay the principal of such debt at maturity. As of June 30, 2006, our debt service obligations, comprised of principal and interest (excluding capital leases), during the next twelve months will be approximately $25 Million. Based on the current outstanding indebtedness of $205.0 million under our Credit Facility, if market rates were to average 1% higher during that same twelve-month period, our net of tax interest expense would increase by approximately $1.2 million.
Our international operations are subject to a number of risks that could harm our operations and significantly reduce our future revenues.
As a multinational company, we have operations in over 20 countries and we derived 9% and 10% of our revenues from international operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and July 1, 2005, respectively. International business is subject to a variety of risks, including:
| • | | lack of developed legal systems to enforce contractual rights; |
|
| • | | greater risk of uncollectible accounts and longer collection cycles; |
60
| • | | currency fluctuations; |
|
| • | | logistical and communication challenges; |
|
| • | | potentially adverse changes in laws and regulatory practices, including export license requirements, trade barriers, tariffs and tax laws; |
|
| • | | changes in labor conditions; |
|
| • | | exposure to liability under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and export control and anti-boycott laws; and |
|
| • | | general economic and political conditions in foreign markets. |
These and other risks associated with international operations could harm our overall operations and significantly reduce our future revenues. In addition, services billed through foreign subsidiaries are attributed to the international category of our business, regardless of where the services are performed and conversely, services billed through domestic operating subsidiaries are attributed to a domestic category of clients, regardless of where the services are performed. As a result, our international risk exposure may be more or less than the percentage of revenues attributed to our international operations.
Our business activities may require our employees to travel to and work in high security risk countries, which may result in employee death or injury, repatriation costs or other unforeseen costs.
As a multinational company, our employees often travel to and work in high security risk countries around the world that are undergoing political, social and economic upheavals resulting in war, civil unrest, criminal activity or acts of terrorism. For example, we have employees working in high security risk countries located in the Middle East and Southwest Asia. As a result, we may be subject to costs related to employee death or injury, repatriation or other unforeseen circumstances.
We depend on third party support for our Enterprise Resource Program (“ERP”) system and, as a result, we may incur unexpected costs that could harm our results of operations, including the possibility of abandoning our current ERP system and migrating to another ERP system.
We use accounting and project management information systems supported by Oracle Corporation. As of June 30, 2006, approximately 62% of our total revenues were processed on this ERP system. We depend on the vendor to provide long-term software maintenance support for our ERP system. Oracle Corporation may discontinue further development, integration or long-term software maintenance support for our ERP system. In the event we are unable to obtain necessary long-term third party software maintenance support, we may be required to incur unexpected costs that could harm our results of operations, including the possibility of abandoning our current ERP system and migrating all of our accounting and project management information systems to another ERP system.
Force majeure events, including natural disasters and terrorists’ actions have negatively impacted and could further negatively impact the economies in which we operate, which may affect our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Force majeure events, including natural disasters, such as Hurricane Katrina that affected the Gulf Coast in August 2005 and terrorist attacks, such as those that occurred in New York and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, could negatively impact the economies in which we operate. For example, Hurricane Katrina caused several of our Gulf Coast offices to close, interrupted a number of active client projects and forced the relocation of our employees in that region from their homes. In addition, during the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, several of our offices were shut down due to terrorist attack warnings.
61
We typically remain obligated to perform our services after a terrorist action or natural disaster unless the contract contains a force majeure clause relieving us of our contractual obligations in such an extraordinary event. If we are not able to react quickly to force majeure, our operations may be affected significantly, which would have a negative impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
If our goodwill or intangible assets become impaired, then our profits may be significantly reduced or eliminated.
Because we have grown through acquisitions, goodwill and other intangible assets represent a substantial portion of our assets. Goodwill and other net purchased intangible assets were $992.6 million as of June 30, 2006. Our balance sheet includes goodwill and other net intangible assets, the values of which are material. If any of our goodwill or intangible assets were to become impaired, we would be required to write-off the impaired amount, which may significantly reduce or eliminate our profits.
Negotiations with labor unions and possible work actions could divert management attention and disrupt operations. In addition, new collective bargaining agreements or amendments to agreements could increase our labor costs and operating expenses.
As of June 30, 2006, approximately 8% of our employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements. The outcome of any future negotiations relating to union representation or collective bargaining agreements may not be favorable to us. We may reach agreements in collective bargaining that increase our operating expenses and lower our net income as a result of higher wages or benefits expenses. In addition, negotiations with unions could divert management attention and disrupt operations, which may adversely affect our results of operations. If we are unable to negotiate acceptable collective bargaining agreements, we may have to address the threat of union-initiated work actions, including strikes. Depending on the nature of the threat or the type and duration of any work action, these actions could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our operating results.
Delaware law and our charter documents may impede or discourage a merger, takeover or other business combination even if the business combination would have been in the best interests of our current stockholders.
We are a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law impose various impediments to the ability of a third party to acquire control of us, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our existing stockholders. In addition, our board of directors has the power, without stockholder approval, to designate the terms of one or more series of preferred stock and issue shares of preferred stock, which could be used defensively if a takeover is threatened. Our incorporation under Delaware law, the ability of our board of directors to create and issue a new series of preferred stock and certain provisions in our certificate of incorporation and by-laws could impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for our common stock, even if the business combination would have been in the best interests of our current stockholders.
