TRC COMPANIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011
(in thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Company Background and Basis of Presentation
TRC Companies, Inc., through its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company"), provides integrated engineering, consulting, and construction management services. Its project teams help its commercial and governmental clients implement environmental, energy and infrastructure projects from initial concept to delivery and operation. The Company provides its services almost entirely in the United States of America.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 28, 2012, the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 and the condensed consolidated statements of equity for the six months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 have been prepared pursuant to the interim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). Consequently, the financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of the Company's management, include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. Also, certain information and footnote disclosures usually included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted. The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained, as well as variable interest entities in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.
Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued guidance establishing an optional two-step analysis for impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangibles other than goodwill. This new guidance allows an entity the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test. Under that option, an entity no longer would be required to calculate the fair value of the intangible asset unless the entity determines, based on that qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012, and early adoption is permitted. This new guidance will become effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2013. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this new guidance may have on its indefinite-lived intangibles impairment testing. The Company does not believe adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In December 2011, the FASB issued guidance enhancing disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity’s right to offset, and related arrangements associated with, its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new guidance requires the disclosure of the gross amounts subject to rights of set-off, amounts offset, and the related net exposure. The new guidance will be effective for the Company beginning July 1, 2013. Other than requiring additional disclosures, the Company does not believe adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued guidance on testing goodwill for impairment. The new guidance provides an entity the option to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. If an entity determines that this is the case, it is required to
perform the currently prescribed two-step goodwill impairment test to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized for that reporting unit (if any). If an entity determines that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, the two-step goodwill impairment test is not required. The Company adopted this new guidance beginning July 1, 2012. Adoption of this new guidance did not have a significant impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of comprehensive income. The new guidance eliminated the option to report other comprehensive income and its components in the statement of changes in equity. Instead, an entity is required to present net income and other comprehensive income in either a continuous statement or in two separate but consecutive statements. The new guidance also required entities to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which other comprehensive income is presented. This guidance was amended in December 2011 when the FASB issued guidance which indefinitely defers presentation of reclassification adjustments. The Company adopted this new amended guidance beginning July 1, 2012. Adoption of this new amended guidance resulted only in changes to presentation of the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
Note 3. Fair Value Measurements
The Company's financial assets or liabilities are measured using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. The classification of a financial asset or liability within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows:
Level 1 Inputs—Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. Generally this includes debt and equity securities and derivative contracts that are traded on an active exchange market (i.e. the New York Stock Exchange) as well as certain U.S. Treasury and U.S. Government and agency mortgage-backed securities that are highly liquid and are actively traded in over-the-counter markets.
Level 2 Inputs—Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; or valuations based on models where the significant inputs are observable (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, credit risks, etc.) or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 Inputs—Valuations based on models where significant inputs are not observable. The unobservable inputs reflect the Company's own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use.
The following tables present the level within the fair value hierarchy at which the Company's financial assets were measured on a recurring basis as of December 28, 2012 and June 30, 2012:

The Company's long-term debt is not measured at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of debt is the estimated amount the Company would have to pay to transfer its debt, including any premium or discount attributable to the difference between the stated interest rate and market rate of interest at the balance sheet date. Fair values are based on valuations of similar debt at the balance sheet date and supported by observable market transactions when available. At December 28, 2012 and June 30, 2012 the fair value of the Company's debt was not materially different than its carrying value. The Company's restricted investment financial assets as of December 28, 2012 and June 30, 2012 are included within current and long-term restricted investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The Company's contingent consideration liabilities, included in other accrued liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, are associated with the acquisitions made in fiscal years 2012 and 2011. The liabilities are measured at fair value using a probability weighted average of the potential payment outcomes that would occur should certain contract metrics be reached. There is no market data available to use in valuing the contingent consideration; therefore, the Company developed its own assumptions related to the achievement of the metrics to evaluate the fair value of these liabilities. As such, the contingent consideration is classified within Level 3, as described below.
Items classified as Level 3 within the valuation hierarchy, consisting of contingent consideration liabilities related to recent acquisitions, were valued based on various estimates, including probability of success, discount rates and amount of time until the conditions of the contingent payments are achieved. The table below presents a rollforward of the contingent consideration liabilities valued using Level 3 inputs for the six months ended December 28, 2012:

Note 4. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has two plans under which stock-based awards have been issued: the TRC Companies, Inc. Restated Stock Option Plan (the "Restated Plan"), and the Amended and Restated 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan"), (collectively "the Plans"). The Company issues new shares or utilizes treasury shares, when available, to satisfy awards under the Plans. Awards are made by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors; however, the Compensation Committee has delegated to the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") the authority to grant awards for up to 10 shares to individual employees subject to a limitation of 100 shares in any 12 month period.
Stock-based awards under the Plans consist of stock options, restricted stock awards ("RSA's"), restricted stock units ("RSU's") and performance stock units ("PSU's").
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures stock-based compensation cost at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. Stock-based compensation expense includes the estimated effects of forfeitures, and estimates of forfeitures will be adjusted over the requisite service period to the extent actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized in the period of change and will also impact the amount of expense to be recognized in future periods. During the three and six months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, the Company recognized stock-based compensation expense in cost of services and general and administrative expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations as follows:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

|
Stock Options
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model for determining the estimated grant date fair value for stock options. The fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period. Use of a valuation model requires management to make certain assumptions with respect to selected model inputs. The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the expected life of the employee stock options. The average expected life is based on the contractual term of the option and expected employee exercise and historical post-vesting employment termination experience. The Company estimates the volatility of its stock using historical volatility in accordance with current accounting guidance. Management determined that historical volatility of TRC common stock is most reflective of market conditions and the best indicator of expected volatility. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's historical and expected dividend payouts. There were no stock options granted during the three and six months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011.
A summary of stock option activity for the six months ended December 28, 2012 under the Plans is as follows:

The aggregate intrinsic value is measured using the fair market value at the date of exercise (for options exercised) or as of December 28, 2012 (for outstanding options), less the applicable exercise price. The closing price of the Company's common stock on the New York Stock Exchange was $5.60 as of December 28, 2012. The total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012 was $89 and $121, respectively. The total proceeds received from option exercises for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012 was $111 and $146, and there was a tax benefit of $1 and $4 realized by the Company, respectively. There were no options exercised during the three and six months ended December 30, 2011.
As of December 28, 2012, there was $36 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock option grants under the Plans, and this expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.
Restricted Stock Awards
Compensation expense for RSA's is recognized ratably over the vesting term, which is generally four years. The fair value of the RSA's is determined based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.

As of December 28, 2012, there was $5,002 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested RSU's under the Plans, and this expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.
Performance Stock Units
Compensation expense for PSU's is recognized if and when the Company concludes that it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The Company reassesses the probability of vesting at each reporting period for awards with performance conditions and adjusts compensation expense based on its probability assessment. The fair value of the PSU's is determined based on the closing market price of the Company's common stock on the grant date.
The number of PSU's earned is determined based on the Company's performance against predefined targets. The range of payout is zero to 150% of the number of granted PSU's. The number of PSU's earned is determined based on actual performance at the end of the performance period. PSU grants totaled 399 shares with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $2,963 during the six months ended December 28, 2012. These PSU's will vest over four years upon meeting certain financial targets for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013. PSU grants totaled 713 shares with a weighted-average grant date fair value of $3,657 during the six months ended December 30, 2011.

Note 5. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the treasury stock method for stock options, warrants, non-vested restricted stock awards and units, and non-vested performance stock units. The treasury stock method assumes conversion of all potentially dilutive shares of common stock with the proceeds from assumed exercises used to hypothetically repurchase stock at the average market price for the period. Diluted EPS is computed by dividing net income applicable to the Company by the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.
The following table sets forth the computations of basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011:

Note 8. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill
As of December 28, 2012, the Company had $24,888 of goodwill, and the Company does not believe there were any events or changes in circumstances since the last goodwill assessment on April 27, 2012 that would indicate the fair value of goodwill was more-likely-than-not reduced to below its carrying value, and therefore goodwill was not assessed for impairment during the current fiscal quarter.
The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended December 28, 2012 by operating segment are as follows:

The amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 was $227 and $165, respectively. The amortization of intangible assets for the six months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 was $457 and $315, respectively. Estimated amortization expense of intangible assets for the remainder of fiscal year 2013 and succeeding fiscal years is as follows:
|
| | | | | |
Fiscal Year | | Amount |
2013 | | $ | 424 |
|
2014 | | 1,092 |
|
2015 | | 968 |
|
2016 | | 727 |
|
2017 | | 539 |
|
2018 and thereafter | | 372 |
|
| Total | | $ | 4,122 |
|
On an annual basis, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired, the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets is evaluated by the Company to determine if an impairment charge is required. The fair value for intangible assets is based on discounted cash flows. There were no events or changes in circumstances that would indicate the fair value of intangible assets was reduced to below its carrying value during the six months ended December 28, 2012, and therefore intangible assets were not assessed for impairment.
Note 9. Long-Term Debt and Capital Lease Obligations
Revolving Credit Facility
The Company and substantially all of its subsidiaries (the "Borrower"), have entered into a secured credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") and related security documentation with Wells Fargo Capital Finance ("Wells Fargo"). The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides the Borrower with a senior revolving credit facility of up to $65,000 (which includes an uncommitted $15,000 syndication reserve) based upon a borrowing base formula on accounts receivable. The Credit Agreement expires on July 17, 2014. Any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the prime rate plus a margin of 2.00% to 2.75%, or at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.00% to 3.50%, based on Trailing Twelve Month Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), as defined. The Company's obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of its assets and guaranteed by substantially all of its subsidiaries that are not borrowers. The Credit Agreement also contains cross-
default provisions which become effective if the Company defaults on other indebtedness.
Under the Credit Agreement, the Company must maintain average monthly backlog of $190,000 and, depending on available borrowing capacity, maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00. The fixed charge coverage ratio covenant is applicable only if available borrowing capacity under the facility plus qualified cash, measured on a trailing 30 day average basis, is less than $20,000, or at any point during the most recent fiscal quarter, is less than $15,000. The Credit Agreement also requires the Company to achieve minimum levels of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $12,500 for each twelve month period ending each fiscal quarter. The Credit Agreement limits maximum annual capital expenditures to $8,500 for fiscal year 2013. The Company can issue up to $15,000 in letters of credit under the Credit Agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of December 28, 2012.
As of December 28, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the Company had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Letters of credit outstanding were $4,239 and $4,239 as of December 28, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively. Based upon the borrowing base formula, the maximum availability under the Credit Agreement was $50,000 and $49,130 as of December 28, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively. Funds available to borrow under the Credit Agreement, after consideration of the letters of credit outstanding, were $45,761 and $44,891 as of December 28, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.
CAH Note Payable
In fiscal year 2007, the Company formed a limited liability company, Center Avenue Holdings, LLC ("CAH"), to purchase and remediate certain property in New Jersey. The Company maintains a 70% ownership position in CAH. CAH entered into a term loan agreement with a commercial bank in the amount of approximately $3,200 which bore interest at a fixed rate of 10.0% annually. The loan is secured by the CAH property and is non-recourse to the members of CAH. The proceeds from the loan were used to purchase, and are currently funding the remediation of, the property. The Company has entered into several modifications of the credit agreement reducing the interest rate to 6.5% and extending the maturity date until October 1, 2013 (See Note 10). As of December 28, 2012, the balance outstanding under this loan was $2,448.
AUE Note Payable
In February 2011, in connection with the purchase of Alexander Utility Engineering, Inc., the Company entered into a two-year subordinated promissory note with the seller pursuant to which the Company agreed to pay $900. The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.25% per annum. The principal amount outstanding under this note is due and payable in two equal installments of $450 on each of the first and second anniversaries of the note. As of December 28, 2012, the balance outstanding under this loan was $450.
Other Notes Payable
In March 2012, the Company financed $2,195, of which $161 is being treated as a capital lease obligation, for a three-year software licensing agreement payable in twelve equal quarterly installments of approximately $190 each, including a finance charge of 2.74%. As of December 28, 2012, the balance outstanding under this agreement was $1,473.
In July 2012, the Company financed $4,259 of insurance premiums payable in eleven equal monthly installments of approximately $391 each, including a finance charge of 1.99%. As of December 28, 2012, the balance outstanding under this agreement was $1,945.
Capital Lease Obligations
During fiscal years 2013 and 2012, the Company financed $490 and $756, respectively, of furniture, office equipment, and computer equipment under capital lease agreements expiring in fiscal years 2015 and 2016. The assets and liabilities under capital lease agreements are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease payments or the fair value of the asset. The assets are amortized over the shorter of their related lease terms or their estimated useful
lives. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The cost of assets under capital leases was $1,246, and accumulated amortization was $212 at December 28, 2012. The average interest rates on the capital leases is 2.44% and is imputed based on the lower of the Company's incremental borrowing rate at the inception of each lease or the implicit interest rate of the respective lease.
Note 10. Variable Interest Entity
The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial results of a variable interest entity in which it is the primary beneficiary. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of an entity, it considers a number of factors, including its ability to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity's economic success, the Company's contractual rights and responsibilities under the arrangement and the significance of the arrangement to each party. These considerations impact the way the Company accounts for its existing collaborative and joint venture relationships and determines the consolidation of companies or entities with which the Company has collaborative or other arrangements.
The Company consolidates the operations of CAH, as it retains the contractual power to direct the activities of CAH which most significantly and directly impact its economic performance. The activity of CAH is not significant to the overall performance of the Company. The assets of CAH are restricted, from the standpoint of the Company, in that they are not available for the Company's general business use outside the context of CAH.
The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities of CAH included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets of the Company:
|

The Company and the other member of CAH do not generally have an obligation to make additional capital contributions to CAH. However, since inception and through the end of the fiscal quarter ended December 28, 2012, the Company has provided approximately $1,344 of support it was not contractually obligated to provide. The additional support was primarily for debt service payments on the note payable (see Note 9). Ultimately, the Company expects the proceeds from the sale of the property (a component of other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets) will be sufficient to repay the debt and any remaining unfunded liabilities, however, to the extent a sale does not occur prior to maturity of the liabilities or the sales proceeds are insufficient to fund any remaining liabilities, the Company currently intends to fund CAH's obligations as they become due.
Note 11. Income Taxes
As of June 30, 2012, the Company had a full valuation allowance of $25,646 against its net deferred tax assets. The valuation allowance is reviewed quarterly and is maintained until sufficient positive evidence exist to support its reversal. Based upon this ongoing assessment the Company believes it is appropriate to retain the full valuation allowance, however, a reversal of all or a portion of the valuation allowance could occur during fiscal year 2013 or subsequent years. The required accounting for the reversal could involve significant tax amounts and it would result in an increase to net income and EPS in the quarter in which it was deemed appropriate to reverse the valuation allowance.
The Company recorded a tax provision of $449 and a tax benefit of $3,504 for the six months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, respectively. The tax provision of $449 is comprised of state tax expense of $398 and federal Alternative Minimum Tax expense of $51. The tax benefit of $3,504 is comprised of a benefit of $3,568 primarily related to the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions and a benefit of $998 related to the release of valuation allowance due to the acquisition of The Payne Firm, Inc., net of federal Alternative Minimum Tax and state income tax expense, of $1,062.
As of December 28, 2012, the recorded liability for uncertain tax positions under the measurement criteria of ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes, was $114. The Company does not expect the amount of unrecognized tax benefits to materially change within the next twelve months.
Note 12. Operating Segments
The Company manages its business under the following three operating segments:
Energy: The Energy operating segment provides services to a range of clients including energy companies, utilities, other commercial entities, and state and federal government. The Company's services include program management, engineer/procure/construct projects, design, and consulting. The Company's typical projects involve upgrades and new construction for electric transmission and distribution systems, energy efficiency program design and management, renewable energy development, power generation and transmission.
Environmental: The Environmental operating segment provides services to a wide range of clients, including industrial, transportation, energy and natural resource companies, as well as government agencies. The Environmental operating segment is organized to focus on key areas of demand including: environmental management of buildings; air quality measurements and modeling of potential air pollution impacts; assessment and remediation of contaminated sites and buildings; solid waste management; environmental, health and safety management and sustainability advisory services; compliance auditing and strategic due diligence; environmental licensing and permitting of a wide variety of projects; and natural and cultural resource assessment, protection and management.
Infrastructure: The Infrastructure operating segment provides services related to the expansion of infrastructure capacity, the rehabilitation of overburdened and deteriorating infrastructure systems, and the management of risks related to security of public and private facilities. The Company's client base is predominantly state and municipal governments as well as select commercial developers. In addition, the Company provides infrastructure services on projects originating in its Energy and Environmental operating segments. Primary services include: roadway, bridge and related surface transportation design; structural design and inspection of bridges; program management; construction engineering inspection and construction management for roads and bridges; civil engineering for municipalities and public works departments; geotechnical engineering services; and security assessment, design and construction management.
The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The Company's CEO manages the business by evaluating the financial results of the three operating segments focusing primarily on segment revenue and segment profit. The Company utilizes segment revenue and segment profit because it believes
they provide useful information for effectively allocating resources among operating segments; evaluating the health of its operating segments based on metrics that management can actively influence; and gauging its investments and its ability to service, incur or pay down debt. Specifically, the Company's CEO evaluates segment revenue and segment profit and assesses the performance of each operating segment based on these measures, as well as, among other things, the prospects of each of the operating segments and how they fit into the Company's overall strategy. The Company's CEO then decides how resources should be allocated among its operating segments. The Company does not track its assets by operating segment, and consequently, it is not practical to show assets by operating segment. Segment profit includes all operating expenses except the following: costs associated with providing corporate shared services (including certain depreciation and amortization), goodwill and intangible asset write-offs, stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation expense is primarily allocated to operating segments based upon their respective use of total operating segment office space. Assets solely used by Corporate are not allocated to the operating segments. Inter-segment balances and transactions are not material. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those for the Company as a whole except as discussed herein.
The following tables present summarized financial information for the Company's operating segments (for the periods noted below):

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies
Exit Strategy Contracts
The Company has entered into a number of long-term contracts pursuant to its Exit Strategy program under which it is obligated to complete the remediation of environmental conditions at covered sites. The Company assumes the risk for remediation costs for pre-existing site environmental conditions and believes that through in-depth technical analysis, comprehensive cost estimation and creative remedial approaches it is able to execute strategies which protect the Company's return on these projects. The Company's client pays a fixed price and, as additional protection, for a majority of the contracts the client also pays for a cleanup cost cap insurance policy. The policy, which includes the Company as a named or additional insured party, provides coverage for cost increases from unknown or changed conditions up to a specified maximum amount significantly in excess of the estimated cost of remediation. The Company believes that it is adequately protected from risk on these projects and that it is not likely that it will incur material losses in excess of applicable insurance. However, because two projects are near the term or financial limits of the insurance, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that events could occur under certain circumstances which could be material to the Company's financial statements. With respect to these two projects, there is a wide range of potential outcomes that may result in costs being incurred beyond the limits or term of insurance, such as greater than expected volumes of contaminants requiring remediation, or wastewater treatment systems requiring operation beyond the insurance term. The Company does not believe these outcomes are likely, and the exact nature, impact and duration of any such occurrence could vary due to a number of factors. Accordingly, the Company is unable to provide an estimate of loss with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Nevertheless, if these events were to occur, the Company believes that it is reasonably possible that costs incurred beyond the limits or term of the insurance could range from $0 to $6,000.
Liquidated Damages
The Company has entered into fixed-price contracts which, among other things, require completion of the specified scope of work within a defined period of time. Certain of those contracts provide for the assessment of liquidated damages if certain project milestones are not met in the contractually specified time unless a schedule extension is granted pursuant to the terms of the contract. At present the Company does not believe the assessment of liquidated damages is likely. Nevertheless, the Company estimates the potential exposure to liquidated damages arising under those contracts could range from $0 to $4,000.
Legal Matters
The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to claims and lawsuits typical of those filed against engineering and consulting companies. The Company carries liability insurance, including professional liability insurance, against such claims subject to certain deductibles and policy limits. Except as described herein, management is of the opinion that the resolution of these claims and lawsuits will not likely have a material effect on the Company's operating results, financial position and cash flows.
In re: World Trade Center Lower Manhattan Disaster Site Litigation, United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, 2006. A subsidiary of the Company has been named as a defendant (along with a number of other defendants) in a number of cases which are pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and are styled under the caption "In Re World Trade Center Lower Manhattan Disaster Site Litigation." The Complaints allege that the plaintiffs were workers involved in construction, demolition, excavation, debris removal and clean-up in the buildings surrounding the World Trade Center site, allege that plaintiffs were injured and seek unspecified damages for those injuries. The Company believes the subsidiary has meritorious defenses and is adequately insured, however an adverse determination in this matter could have a material effect on the Company's business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company records actual or potential litigation-related losses in accordance with ASC Topic 450. As of December 28, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the Company had recorded $1,946 and $4,572, respectively, of accruals for probable and estimable liabilities related to the litigation-related losses in which the Company was then involved. The
Company also had insurance recovery receivables related to the aforementioned litigation-related accruals of $1,261 and $2,840 as of December 28, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.
The Company periodically adjusts the amount of such accruals when such actual or potential liabilities are paid or otherwise discharged, new claims arise, or additional relevant information about existing or potential claims becomes available. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that the amount of potential litigation related liabilities could increase by as much as $2,400, of which $0 would be covered by insurance.
Note 14. Subsequent Events
Effective December 31, 2012, the Company acquired all of the outstanding stock of Heschong Mahone Group, Inc. (“HMG”), headquartered in Sacramento, California. HMG provides professional consulting services in the field of energy efficiency. The initial purchase price of approximately $5,500 consisted of cash of $3,500 payable at closing, a $1,500 subordinated promissory note, and 88 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $500 (based on the average closing prices of the Company's common stock over the 30 trading-day period preceding the date of the transaction). In addition, the purchase agreement provides for contingent consideration of up to an additional $500 based on performance of the acquired firm over the twelve month period following closing. HMG is being integrated into the Company's Energy operating segment. Due to the limited time since the closing of the HMG acquisition, the related acquisition accounting is incomplete at this time. As a result, the Company is unable to provide amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for major classes of assets and liabilities acquired and resulting from the transaction. The impact of this acquisition is not expected to be material to the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and results of operations.
Effective January 18, 2013, the Company acquired the assets of the GE Air Emissions Testing (GE-Air) business. The initial purchase price consisted of a cash payment of $3,150 payable at closing. The purchase price is subject to a working capital adjustment, which is expected to be finalized within the next several months. GE-Air is being integrated into the Company's Environmental operating segment. Due to the limited time since the closing of the GE-Air acquisition, the related acquisition accounting is incomplete at this time. As a result, the Company is unable to provide amounts recognized as of the acquisition date for major classes of assets and liabilities acquired and resulting from the transaction. The impact of this acquisition is not expected to be material to the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and results of operations.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Three and Six Months Ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011
Our fiscal quarters end on the last Friday of the quarter except for the last quarter of the fiscal year which always ends on June 30th. The six months ended December 28, 2012 contained one less business day than the same period in the prior fiscal year.
You should read the following discussion of our results of operations and financial condition in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based upon current expectations and assumptions, and, by their nature, such forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties. We have attempted to identify such statements using words such as "may", "expects", "plans", "anticipates", "believes", "estimates", or other words of similar import. We caution the reader that there may be events in the future that management is not able to accurately predict or control which may cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations described in the forward-looking statements. The factors described in the sections captioned "Critical Accounting Policies" and "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 as well as in this Form 10-Q provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations described in the forward-looking statements.
Overview
We provide integrated engineering, consulting, and construction management services. Our project teams help our commercial and governmental clients implement environmental, energy and infrastructure projects from initial concept to delivery and operation. We provide our services almost entirely in the United States of America.
We derive our revenue from fees for professional and technical services. As a service company, we are more labor-intensive than capital-intensive. Our revenue is driven by our ability to attract and retain qualified and productive employees, identify business opportunities, secure new and renew existing client contracts, provide outstanding service to our clients and execute projects successfully. Our income from operations is derived from our ability to generate revenue and collect cash under our contracts in excess of our direct costs, subcontractor costs, other contract costs, and general and administrative ("G&A") expenses.
In the course of providing our services we routinely subcontract services. Generally these subcontractor costs are passed through to our clients and, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and consistent with industry practice, are included in gross revenue. Because subcontractor services can change significantly from project to project, changes in gross revenue may not be indicative of business trends. Accordingly, we also report net service revenue ("NSR"), which is gross revenue less subcontractor costs and other direct reimbursable charges, and our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations uses NSR as a primary point of reference.
Our cost of services ("COS") includes professional compensation and related benefits together with certain direct and indirect overhead costs such as rents, utilities and travel. Professional compensation represents the majority of these costs. Our G&A expenses are comprised primarily of our corporate headquarters costs related to corporate executive management, finance, accounting, information technology, administration and legal. These costs are generally unrelated to specific client projects and can vary as expenses are incurred to support corporate activities and initiatives.
Our revenue, expenses and operating results may fluctuate significantly from year to year as a result of numerous factors, including:
| |
• | Unanticipated changes in contract performance that may affect profitability, particularly with contracts that are fixed-price or have funding limits; |
| |
• | Seasonality of the spending cycle, notably for state and local government entities, and the spending patterns |
of our commercial clients;
| |
• | Budget constraints experienced by our government clients; |
| |
• | Divestitures or discontinuance of operating units; |
| |
• | Employee hiring, utilization and turnover rates; |
| |
• | The number and significance of client contracts commenced and completed during the period; |
| |
• | Creditworthiness and solvency of clients; |
| |
• | The ability of our clients to terminate contracts without penalties; |
| |
• | Delays incurred in connection with contracts; |
| |
• | The size, scope and payment terms of contracts; |
| |
• | Contract negotiations on change orders and collection of related accounts receivable; |
| |
• | The timing of expenses incurred for corporate initiatives; |
| |
• | Changes in accounting rules; |
| |
• | The credit markets and their effect on our customers; and |
| |
• | General economic or political conditions. |
We experience seasonal trends in our business. Our revenue is typically lower in the second and third fiscal quarters, as our business is, to some extent, dependent on field work and construction scheduling and is also affected by holidays. Our revenue is lower during these times of the year because many of our clients' employees, as well as our own employees, do not work during those holidays, resulting in fewer billable hours charged to projects and thus, lower revenue recognized. In addition to holidays, harsher weather conditions that occur in the fall and winter occasionally cause some of our offices to close temporarily and can significantly affect our project field work. Conversely, our business generally benefits from milder weather conditions in our first and fourth fiscal quarters which allow for more productivity from our field services.
Acquisitions
We continuously evaluate the marketplace for strategic acquisition opportunities. A fundamental component of our profitable growth strategy is to pursue acquisitions that will expand our platform in key U.S. markets.
Operating Segments
We manage our business under the following three operating segments:
Energy: The Energy operating segment provides services to a range of clients including energy companies, utilities, other commercial entities, and state and federal government. Our services include program management, engineer/procure/construct projects, design, and consulting. Our typical projects involve upgrades and new construction for electric transmission and distribution systems, energy efficiency program design and management, renewable energy development, power generation and transmission.
Environmental: The Environmental operating segment provides services to a wide range of clients including industrial, transportation, energy and natural resource companies, as well as government agencies. The Environmental operating segment is organized to focus on key areas of demand including: environmental management of buildings; air quality measurements and modeling of potential air pollution impacts; assessment and remediation of contaminated sites and buildings; solid waste management; environmental, health and safety management and sustainability advisory services; compliance auditing and strategic due diligence; environmental licensing and permitting of a wide variety of projects; and natural and cultural resource assessment, protection and management.
Infrastructure: The Infrastructure operating segment provides services related to the expansion of infrastructure capacity, the rehabilitation of overburdened and deteriorating infrastructure systems, and the
management of risks related to security of public and private facilities. Our client base is predominantly state and municipal governments as well as select commercial developers. In addition, we provide infrastructure services on projects originating in our Energy and Environmental operating segments. Primary services include: roadway, bridge and related surface transportation design; structural design and inspection of bridges; program management; construction engineering inspection and construction management for roads and bridges; civil engineering for municipalities and public works departments; geotechnical engineering services; and security assessment, design and construction management.
Our chief operating decision maker is our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). Our CEO manages the business by evaluating the financial results of the three operating segments, focusing primarily on segment revenue and segment profit. We utilize segment revenue and segment profit because we believe they provide useful information for effectively allocating resources among operating segments; evaluating the health of our operating segments based on metrics that management can actively influence; and gauging our investments and our ability to service, incur or pay down debt. Specifically, our CEO evaluates segment revenue and segment profit and assesses the performance of each operating segment based on these measures, as well as, among other things, the prospects of each of the operating segments and how they fit into our overall strategy. Our CEO then decides how resources should be allocated among our operating segments. We do not track our assets by operating segment, and consequently, it is not practical to show assets by operating segment. Segment profit includes all operating expenses except the following: costs associated with providing corporate shared services (including certain depreciation and amortization), goodwill and intangible asset write-offs, stock-based compensation expense and amortization of intangible assets. Depreciation expense is primarily allocated to operating segments based upon their respective use of total operating segment office space. Assets solely used by Corporate are not allocated to the operating segments. Inter-segment balances and transactions are not material. The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those for us as a whole except as discussed herein.
The following table presents the approximate percentage of our NSR by operating segment for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three Months Ended | | Six Months Ended |
| | December 28, 2012 | | December 30, 2011 | | December 28, 2012 | | December 30, 2011 |
Energy | | 34 | % | | 33 | % | | 35 | % | | 31 | % |
Environmental | | 53 | % | | 53 | % | | 51 | % | | 54 | % |
Infrastructure | | 13 | % | | 14 | % | | 14 | % | | 15 | % |

Business Trend Analysis
Energy: The utilities in the United States are in the midst of a multi-year upgrade of the electric transmission grid to improve capacity, reliability and distribution of sources of generation. Years of underinvestment coupled with an increasingly favorable regulatory environment have provided a good business opportunity for those serving this market. According to the Edison Electric Institute, electric utilities throughout the United States will be investing over $50.0 billion in transmission grid upgrades over the next several years. Economic impacts have slowed the pace of this investment, but not the long term plan. Energy efficiency services continue to benefit from increasing state and federal funds targeted at energy efficiency. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Regional Green House Gas Initiative and system benefit charges at the state or utility level are expanding the marketplace for energy efficiency program management services. Investment within the renewable portfolios also remains strong. We are well established in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions and are growing our presence in the Texas and California markets where demand for services is the highest.
Environmental: Although there have been some signs of expansion in this market following a gradual improvement in general economic conditions, growth in demand for environmental services continues to be sluggish. The fundamental market drivers for this market remain in place, including evolving regulatory developments particularly with respect
to air quality and the continuing need to enhance our aging transportation and energy infrastructure. Nevertheless, recent indicators suggest that certain elements of this marketplace continue to defer action in light of current economic uncertainty and reorganizations of regulatory agencies following the election. Shale gas and other energy source initiatives present important opportunities but are linked to policy changes which will be required for the markets to commit long-term capital to projects such as pipelines and related infrastructure.
Infrastructure: Demand for infrastructure services is expected to continue to be flat for fiscal year 2013. Nevertheless, the overall construction markets are believed to be poised for growth and investment as a result of a federal transportation bill that was signed into law in July 2012. In addition, U.S. macroeconomic factors may help drive the Infrastructure business. The long-term prospect may also be benefited by alternative funding mechanisms; potential additional economic stimulus initiatives; and the continued need to upgrade, replace or repair aging transportation infrastructure.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. These principles require the use of estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions. We use our best judgment in the assumptions used to value these estimates which are based on current facts and circumstances, prior experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable. Further detail regarding our critical accounting policies can be found in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on September 12, 2012. No material changes concerning our critical accounting policies have occurred since June 30, 2012.
Results of Operations
During the six months ended December 28, 2012, our expanded geographic presence and the continued investment in electric transmission and distribution systems by our utility clients resulted in a 15.9% increase in current year NSR for the Energy operating segment. In contrast, our Environmental and Infrastructure operating segments' revenue declined in the current year partially due to continued economic stagnation and uncertainty over federal policy. Overall, NSR increased $3.1 million, or 2.1%, to $150.5 million for the six months ended December 28, 2012 from $147.4 million for the same period in the prior year.
We reported net income applicable to TRC Companies, Inc. of $4.1 million and $8.4 million for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012 compared to $5.2 million and $23.9 million, respectively, for the same periods of the prior year. Net income for the six months ended December 30, 2011 benefited from the following:
| |
• | an $11.2 million reduction of the previously established Arena Towers litigation accrual; and |
| |
• | a $3.1 million tax benefit primarily related to the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions. |
Arena Towers Litigation: A jury verdict was rendered against us and our subsidiary in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, and, as a result, we took a charge of $17.3 million which included the full value of the verdict as well as pre-judgment interest. Subsequently, we filed a post-trial motion to disregard the late fee portion of the verdict, which was granted on October 5, 2011 resulting in an $11.2 million reduction of the previously established accrual in the quarter ended September 30, 2011. A judgment was entered in the case on October 10, 2011, and on January 3, 2012 we paid $8.7 million in full satisfaction of the judgment and interest.
Federal and State Income Tax Benefit: The tax benefit of $3.5 million is predominantly comprised of a benefit of $3.1 million related to the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions and a benefit of $1.0 million related to the release of a valuation allowance due to the acquisition of The Payne Firm, net of state income tax expense of $0.6 million. The reduction in tax expense of $3.1 million related to the uncertain tax position was a result of a September 2011 settlement
with the IRS for fiscal years 2003 through 2008, which resulted in a refund of approximately $0.1 million in taxes and interest.

Three Months Ended December 28, 2012
Gross revenue decreased $0.9 million, or 0.9%, to $104.5 million for the three months ended December 28, 2012 from $105.4 million for the same period in the prior year. Organic gross revenue decreased $1.2 million and acquisitions provided gross revenue of $0.3 million. The decline in organic revenue was primarily attributable to our Environmental operating segment where gross revenue decreased $1.3 million due to the completion of several large environmental compliance projects, delays on new awards and lower levels of revenue generated by subcontractor activities. This decrease was partially offset by higher demand for our Energy operating segment services.
NSR increased $1.4 million, or 1.8%, to $75.3 million for the three months ended December 28, 2012 from $73.9 million for the same period in the prior year. Organic NSR increased $1.2 million, or 85.2%, and acquisitions provided
the remaining $0.2 million, or 14.8%. The increase was primarily driven by our Energy operating segment, where NSR increased $2.0 million, due to our expanded geographic presence and utility clients continuing to invest in the modernization and replacement of outdated facilities. This increase was somewhat offset by lower demand for our Infrastructure services which was primarily due to economic factors and federal policy uncertainty. Overall, NSR increased despite a decline in gross revenue due to increased demand for our direct labor and a lower level of subcontracting activities.
Insurance recoverables and other income increased $0.4 million, or 76.3%, to $0.9 million for the three months ended December 28, 2012 from $0.5 million for the same period in the prior year. In the three months ended December 28, 2012, certain Exit Strategy projects had estimated cost increases which were not expected to be funded by the project-specific restricted investments and, therefore, are projected to be funded by the project-specific insurance policies procured at project inception to cover, among other things, cost overruns. We did not experience the same level of estimated cost increases in the same period in the prior year.
COS increased $3.4 million, or 5.5%, to $64.6 million for the three months ended December 28, 2012 from $61.2 million for the same period in the prior year. Organic COS increased $3.2 million, or 93.4%, and acquisitions provided the remaining $0.2 million, or 6.6%. The increase in organic COS was incurred, primarily, to support the growing customer demand from our Energy operating segment clients. To serve this increase in demand, we increased our billable headcount. As a percentage of NSR, COS was 85.8% and 82.8% for the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, respectively.
G&A expenses decreased $1.2 million, or 16.8%, to $5.7 million for the three months ended December 28, 2012 from $6.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower litigation costs. Specifically, during the current quarter, we had a favorable resolution to a liability claim that resulted in an $0.8 million reduction in G&A expenses. As a percentage of NSR, G&A expenses were 7.6% and 9.3% for the three months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization increased $0.2 million, or 11.1%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended December 28, 2012 from $1.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily the result of additional amortization being incurred on tangible and intangible assets in connection with businesses acquired.
The federal and state income tax provision was $0.2 million for the three months ended December 28, 2012 compared to a tax benefit of $0.2 million for the same period in the prior year. The tax provision of $0.2 million is primarily comprised of state tax expense of $0.2 million.
In conjunction with our ongoing review of actual results and anticipated future earnings, we assess the possibility of reversing the valuation allowance remaining on our net deferred tax assets. Based upon this ongoing assessment, a reversal of the valuation allowance could occur during fiscal year 2013 or subsequent years. The required accounting for the reversal of the valuation allowance could involve significant tax amounts and it would impact earnings in the quarter in which it was deemed appropriate to reverse the valuation allowance.
Six Months Ended December 28, 2012
Gross revenue increased $3.6 million, or 1.7%, to $212.8 million for the six months ended December 28, 2012 from $209.1 million for the same period in the prior year. Organic gross revenue increased $2.6 million, or 71.0%, and acquisitions provided the remaining $1.0 million, or 29.0%. The increase was primarily driven by increased demand for our Energy services as our utility clients continued investment in their electric transmission and distribution systems. This increase was partially offset by lower demand for our Environmental operating segment services which was primarily due to economic factors and policy uncertainty as well as lower levels of revenue generated by subcontractor activities.
NSR increased $3.1 million, or 2.1%, to $150.5 million for the six months ended December 28, 2012 from $147.4 million for the same period in the prior year. Organic NSR increased $2.3 million, or 74.6%, and acquisitions provided the remaining $0.8 million, or 25.4%. The increase was primarily driven by increased demand in our Energy operating segment, where NSR increased $7.1 million. This increased demand was primarily due to our utility clients continuing to invest in the modernization and replacement of outdated facilities and our expanded geographic presence. This increase was somewhat offset by lower demand for our Infrastructure and Environmental services which was primarily due to economic factors and federal policy uncertainty.
Insurance recoverables and other income increased $1.9 million, or 260.0%, to $2.7 million for the six months ended December 28, 2012 from $0.7 million for the same period in the prior year. In the six months ended December 28, 2012, certain Exit Strategy projects had estimated cost increases which were not expected to be funded by the project-specific restricted investments and, therefore, are projected to be funded by the project-specific insurance policies procured at project inception to cover, among other things, cost overruns. We did not experience the same level of estimated cost increases in the same period in the prior year.
COS increased $6.9 million, or 5.7%, to $128.3 million for the six months ended December 28, 2012 from $121.3 million for the same period in the prior year. Organic COS increased $6.0 million, or 87.2%, for the six months ended December 28, 2012, and acquisitions provided the remaining $0.9 million, or 12.8%. The increase was partially attributable to a $2.6 million change in Exit Strategy contract loss reserves due to estimated cost increases on our Exit Strategy projects in the current year. The remainder of the COS increase was incurred to support the growing customer demand from our Energy operating segment clients. To serve this increase in demand, we increased our billable headcount. As a percentage of NSR, COS was 85.2% and 82.3% for the six months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, respectively.
G&A expenses decreased $1.5 million, or 10.6%, to $12.9 million for the six months ended December 28, 2012 from $14.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased costs related to our performance based stock compensation plan and lower litigation costs. As a percentage of NSR, G&A expenses were 8.6% and 9.8% for the six months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011, respectively.
The provision for doubtful accounts decreased $0.4 million, or 100.0%, to $0.0 million for the six months ended December 28, 2012 from $0.4 million for the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily attributable to our continued focus on credit and collections.
Depreciation and amortization increased $0.3 million, or 12.0%, to $3.1 million for the six months ended December 28, 2012 from $2.8 million for the same period in the prior year. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense is primarily the result of additional amortization being incurred on tangible and intangible assets in connection with businesses acquired.
The federal and state income tax provision was $0.4 million for the six months ended December 28, 2012 compared to a tax benefit of $3.5 million for the same period in the prior year. The tax provision of $0.4 million is comprised of state expense of $0.4 million and federal Alternative Minimum Tax expense of $0.1 million. The tax benefit of $3.5 million is comprised of a benefit of $3.6 million primarily related to the remeasurement of uncertain tax positions and a benefit of $1.0 million related to the release of valuation allowance due to the acquisition of The Payne Firm, Inc., net of federal Alternative Minimum Tax and state income tax expense, of $1.1 million.
In conjunction with our ongoing review of actual results and anticipated future earnings, we assess the possibility of reversing the valuation allowance remaining on our net deferred tax assets. Based upon this ongoing assessment, a reversal of the valuation allowance could occur during fiscal year 2013 or subsequent years. The required accounting for the reversal of the valuation allowance could involve significant tax amounts and it would impact earnings in the quarter in which it was deemed appropriate to reverse the valuation allowance.

Gross revenue increased $0.8 million, or 2.7%, and $6.9 million, or 12.1%, for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increase in gross revenue was primarily the result of increased activity on electric distribution projects and the expansion of our geographic presence into the mid-Atlantic region.
NSR increased $2.0 million, or 8.5%, and $7.1 million, or 15.9%, for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The NSR growth was primarily the result of the factors driving gross revenue growth as noted above. NSR grew at a faster rate than revenue due to the mix of energy projects. Differences in the scope of services between contracts may result in variation in the amount of subcontracting and direct labor.
The Energy operating segment's profit decreased $0.9 million, or 13.8%, for the three months ended December 28, 2012 compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease in the Energy operating segment's profit for the three months ended December 28, 2012 was primarily due to increased contract costs incurred for project budget overruns on several large fixed-priced projects. The increase in the Energy operating segment's profit of $0.9 million, or 8.0%,for the six months ended December 28, 2012 was primarily due to the above-mentioned increase in NSR, offset by project budget overruns. As a percentage of NSR, the Energy operating segment's profit decreased to 21.8% from 27.5% and to 22.6% from 24.3% for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year.

Gross revenue decreased $1.3 million, or 2.1%, and $4.1 million, or 3.4%, for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. Acquisitions provided $0.3 million and $1.1 million of gross revenue growth for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012, respectively, while organic activities decreased $1.6 million and $5.2 million for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012, respectively. Organic revenue was constrained by the completion of several large environmental compliance projects that have not been replaced by comparable projects, lower levels of revenue generated by subcontractor activities and economic and policy uncertainty.
NSR increased $0.9 million, or 2.4%, and decreased $1.6 million, or 2.1%, for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. Acquisitions provided $0.2 million, or 21.9%, of NSR growth, and organic activities provided $0.7 million, or 78.1%, of NSR growth for the three months ended December 28, 2012. Organic NSR grew modestly due to an increase in our direct labor on certain large remediation projects. For the six months ended December 28, 2012, acquisitions provided $0.8 million of NSR while organic NSR decreased by $2.4 million. The decline in organic NSR was primarily due to the aforementioned completion of several large environmental compliance projects that have not been replaced by comparable projects.
The Environmental operating segment's profit increased $0.6 million, or 7.6%, and decreased $1.4 million, or 8.5%, for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. For the three months ended December 28, 2012, organic activities accounted for the entire $0.6 million increase. This increase was primarily due to an increase in NSR, as described above. For the six months ended December 28, 2012, organic operating profit decreased by $1.3 million, while acquisitions accounted for a $0.1 million decrease in the Environmental operating segment's profit. The organic decrease was primarily due to a decline in NSR, as described above. As a percentage of NSR, the Environmental operating segment's profit increased to 19.8% from 18.8% and decreased to 19.2% from 20.5% for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year.

Gross revenue increased $0.2 million, or 1.3%, and $0.9 million, or 3.2%, for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The increase in gross revenue was primarily due to increased work on civil engineering projects which required higher levels of subcontractor services, resulting in higher gross revenues and other direct costs.
NSR decreased $0.9 million, or 8.1%, and $1.6 million, or 7.1%, for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The decrease in NSR was primarily due to lower overall demand for our direct labor services driven by uncertainties in government policy and funding.
The Infrastructure operating segment's profit decreased $0.5 million, or 25.1%, and $1.0 million, or 22.0%, for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year. The decrease in the Infrastructure operating segment's profit was primarily due to the same factors that led to the decrease in NSR. As a percentage of NSR, the Infrastructure operating segment's profit decreased to 13.9% from 17.1% and to 16.3% from 19.4% for the three and six months ended December 28, 2012, respectively, compared to the same periods of the prior year.
Backlog by Operating Segment
As of December 28, 2012, our contract backlog based on gross revenue was approximately $357 million, compared to approximately $369 million as of December 30, 2011. Our contract backlog based on net service revenue ("NSR") was approximately $225 million as of December 28, 2012, compared to approximately $223 million as of December 30, 2011. Approximately 60% of backlog is typically completed in one year. In addition to this contract backlog, we hold open-order contracts from various commercial clients and government agencies. As work under these contracts is authorized and funded, we include this portion in our contract backlog. While most contracts contain cancellation provisions, we are unaware of any material work included in backlog that will be canceled or delayed.
The following table sets forth the gross revenue and NSR contract backlog amounts of our operating segments at December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 (in millions):

Impact of Inflation
Our operations have not been materially affected by inflation or changing prices because most contracts of a longer term are subject to adjustment or have been priced to cover anticipated increases in labor and other costs, and the remaining contracts are short term in nature.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We primarily rely on cash from operations and financing activities, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility, to fund our operations. Our liquidity is assessed in terms of our overall ability to generate cash to fund our operating and investing activities and to reduce debt. We believe that our available cash, cash flows from operations and available borrowing under our revolving credit facility, will be sufficient to fund our operations for at least the next twelve months.
The following table provides summarized information with respect to our cash balances and cash flows as of and for the six months ended December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011 (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | |
(Dollars in thousands) | | December 28, 2012 | | December 30, 2011 |
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities | | $ | (4,545 | ) | | $ | 11,179 |

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities | | (469 | ) | | 3 |
|
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period | | 10,830 |
| | 14,736 |
|
Cash flows used in operating activities were $4.5 million for the six months ended December 28, 2012, compared to $11.2 million of cash provided for the same period of the prior year. Cash used in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended December 28, 2012 totaled $22.2 million and primarily consisted of the following: (1) a $6.9 million decrease in accrued compensation and benefits due to the payment of bonuses; (2) a $4.6 million increase in accounts receivable; (3) a $4.1 million decrease in accounts payable relating to the timing of payments made to vendors; and (4) a $3.6 million decrease in deferred revenue primarily related to revenue earned on Exit Strategy projects.
Cash used in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended December 28, 2012 was offset by cash provided by operating assets and liabilities totaling $4.4 million and primarily consisted of a $2.3 million decrease in restricted investments and a $1.5 million decrease in long-term prepaid insurance. In addition, non-cash items for the six months ended December 28, 2012 of $4.9 million related primarily to $3.1 million for depreciation and amortization and $1.9 million for stock-based compensation expense.
Accounts receivable include both: (1) billed receivables associated with invoices submitted for work performed and (2) unbilled receivables (work in progress). The unbilled receivables are primarily related to work performed in the last month of the quarter. The efficiency of the billing and collection process is commonly evaluated as days sales outstanding ("DSO"), which we calculate by dividing accounts receivable by the most recent three-month average of daily gross revenue. DSO, which measures the collections turnover of both billed and unbilled receivables, increased to 86 days as of December 28, 2012 from 78 days as of June 30, 2012, but remained comparable to 84 days as of December 30, 2011. Our goal is to maintain DSO at less than 85 days.
Cash used in investing activities was approximately $0.7 million for the six months ended December 28, 2012, compared to $7.3 million used in the same period of the prior year. Cash used in the current year consisted of $1.8 million for property and equipment which was partially offset by $1.1 million from restricted investments. Cash used in the prior year primarily consisted of $4.3 million for property and equipment and $3.4 million for acquisition of businesses.
Cash used in financing activities was approximately $0.5 million for the six months ended December 28, 2012, compared to cash provided of $3.0 thousand for the same period of the prior year. Cash used consisted of $2.9 million
for payments made on long-term debt and capital lease obligations and $2.2 million used to pay tax withholding obligations on behalf of employees related to restricted stock vesting, offset by $4.3 million of short-term financing related to fiscal year 2013 insurance premiums.
Long-Term Debt
Revolving Credit Facility
We and substantially all of our subsidiaries (the "Borrower"), have entered into a secured credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement") and related security documentation with Wells Fargo Capital Finance ("Wells Fargo"). The Credit Agreement, as amended, provides the Borrower with a senior revolving credit facility of up to $65.0 million (which includes an uncommitted $15.0 million syndication reserve) based upon a borrowing base formula on accounts receivable. The Credit Agreement expires on July 17, 2014. Any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at the prime rate plus a margin of 2.00% to 2.75%, or at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.00% to 3.50%, based on Trailing Twelve Month Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), as defined. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of substantially all of our assets and guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries that are not borrowers. The Credit Agreement also contains cross-default provisions which become effective if we default on other indebtedness.
Under the Credit Agreement, we must maintain average monthly backlog of $190.0 million and, depending on available borrowing capacity, maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.00 to 1.00. The fixed charge coverage ratio covenant is applicable only if available borrowing capacity under the facility plus qualified cash, measured on a trailing 30 day average basis, is less than $20.0 million, or at any point during the most recent fiscal quarter, is less than $15.0 million. The Credit Agreement also requires us to achieve minimum levels of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA of $12.5 million for each twelve month period ending each fiscal quarter. The Credit Agreement limits maximum annual capital expenditures to $8.5 million for fiscal year 2013. We can issue up to $15.0 million in letters of credit under the Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement as of December 28, 2012 as shown below.
Management presents Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP measure, because we believe that it is a useful tool for us, our lenders and our investors to measure our ability to meet debt service and capital expenditure and working capital requirements. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies, because not all companies calculate EBITDA in an identical manner. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flows for the period or funds available for management's discretionary use, nor is it represented as an alternative to operating income (loss) as an indicator of operating performance and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA should be evaluated in conjunction with GAAP measures such as operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flow from operations and other measures of equal or greater importance. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA is presented below based on both the definition used in our Credit Agreement as well as the typical calculation method. Set forth below is a reconciliation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated under the Credit Agreement, to operating income for the trailing twelve months ended December 28, 2012 (in thousands):
|

(Dollars in thousands) | |
Operating income | $ | 18,529 |
|
Depreciation and amortization | 5,843 |

Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA under the Credit Agreement | $ | 24,372 |
|
The actual results as compared to the covenant requirements under the Credit Agreement as of December 28, 2012 for the measurement periods described below are as follows (in thousands):
|
| | | | | | | | | | |
(Dollars in thousands) | Measurement Period | | Actual | | Required |
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA | Trailing 12 months | | $ | 24,372 |
| | Must Exceed | $ | 12,500 |
|
Average Monthly Backlog | Trailing 3 months | | $ | 358,919 |
| | Must Exceed | $ | 190,000 |

Capital Expenditures | Fiscal year 2013 | | $ | 1,776 |
| | Not to Exceed | $ | 8,500 |
|
Fixed Charge Ratio (1) | Trailing 12 months | | Not Applicable | | Must Exceed | 1.00 to 1.00 |
| |
(1) | As of December 28, 2012, the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio covenant is not applicable as the available borrowing capacity under the facility, measured on a trailing 30 day average basis, was greater than $20.0 million and, at no point during the most recent fiscal quarter, was less than $15.0 million. |
As of December 28, 2012 and June 30, 2012, we had no borrowings outstanding pursuant to the Credit Agreement. Letters of credit outstanding were $4.2 million and $4.2 million as of December 28, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively. Based upon the borrowing base formula, the maximum availability under the Credit Agreement was $50.0 million and $49.1 million as of December 28, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively. Funds available to borrow under the Credit Agreement, after consideration of the letters of credit outstanding, were $45.8 million and $44.9 million as of December 28, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.
CAH Note Payable
In fiscal year 2007, we formed a limited liability company, Center Avenue Holdings, LLC ("CAH"), to purchase and remediate certain property in New Jersey. We maintain a 70% ownership position in CAH. CAH entered into a term loan agreement with a commercial bank in the amount of approximately $3.2 million which bore interest at a fixed rate of 10.0% annually. The loan is secured by the CAH property and is non-recourse to the members of CAH. The proceeds from the loan were used to purchase, and are currently funding the remediation of, the property. We have entered into several modifications of the credit agreement reducing the interest rate to 6.5% and extending the maturity date until October 1, 2013. As of December 28, 2012, the balance outstanding under this loan was $2.4 million.
AUE Note Payable
In February 2011, in connection with the purchase of Alexander Utility Engineering, Inc., we entered into a two-year subordinated promissory note with the seller pursuant to which we agreed to pay $0.9 million. The note bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.25% per annum. The principal amount outstanding under this note is due and payable in two equal installments of $0.45 million on each of the first and second anniversaries of the note. As of December 28, 2012, the balance outstanding under this loan was $0.45 million.
Other Notes Payable
In March 2012, we financed $2.2 million, of which $0.2 million is being treated as a capital lease obligation, for a three-year software licensing agreement payable in twelve equal quarterly installments of approximately $0.2 million each, including a finance charge of 2.74%. As of December 28, 2012, the balance outstanding under this agreement was $1.5 million.
In July 2012, we financed $4.3 million of insurance premiums payable in eleven equal monthly installments of approximately $0.4 million each, including a finance charge of 1.99%. As of December 28, 2012, the balance outstanding under this agreement was $1.9 million.
Capital Lease Obligations
During fiscal years 2013 and 2012, we financed $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, of furniture, office equipment, and computer equipment under capital lease agreements expiring in fiscal years 2015 and 2016. The assets and liabilities under capital lease agreements are recorded at the lower of the present value of the minimum lease
payments or the fair value of the asset. The assets are amortized over the shorter of their related lease terms or their estimated useful lives. Amortization of assets under capital leases is included in depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The cost of assets under capital leases was $1.2 million, and accumulated amortization was $0.2 million at December 28, 2012. The average interest rates on the capital leases is 2.44% and is imputed based on the lower of our incremental borrowing rate at the inception of each lease or the implicit interest rate of the respective lease.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We do not currently utilize derivative financial instruments. While we currently do not have any borrowings outstanding under our credit agreement, to the extent we have borrowings, we would be exposed to interest rate risk under that agreement. Our credit facility provides for borrowings bearing interest at the prime rate plus a margin of 2.00% to 2.75%, or at LIBOR plus a margin of 3.00% to 3.50%, based on Trailing Twelve Month EBITDA.
Borrowings at these rates have no designated term and may be repaid without penalty any time prior to the facility's maturity date. As amended, the facility matures on July 17, 2014, or earlier at our discretion, upon payment in full of loans and other obligations.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of December 28, 2012. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 28, 2012.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the Company's quarter ended December 28, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.
