As of and for the month ended January 31, 2008
Notes to Combined Consolidated Financial Statements
As of and for the month ended January 31, 2008
1. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Nature of Organization and Operating Cycle | ||
H.C. Price Co. (the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation which was incorporated on September 12, 1980. The Company is engaged in the construction of pipelines and related projects for the petroleum and natural gas industries. Work is performed primarily under fixed-unit price contracts and cost-reimbursable contracts with contract incentive provisions. The Company uses union labor on some of its contracts. | ||
The length of the Company’s contracts varies but is typically between three to six months. In accordance with the normal practice in the construction industry, the Company includes asset and liability accounts relating to construction contracts in current assets and liabilities even when these amounts are realizable or payable over a period in excess of one year. | ||
Basis of Presentation | ||
The accompanying combined consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. | ||
Principles of Consolidation | ||
The combined consolidated financial statements include the Company, its wholly owned subsidiaries and ownership interests in Price Ahtna J.V. and Price Ahtna LLC (the “Joint Ventures”) and Conam Construction Co. (“Conam”), an affiliated entity under common control. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries include H.C. Price Canada Company, a Nova Scotia unlimited liability company and O.J. Pipelines Canada Corporation, a corporation organized under the laws of New Brunswick, Canada (the “Subsidiaries”). Conam was incorporated in Texas on October 1, 1984. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. | ||
The Company’s two foreign subsidiaries, H.C. Price Canada Company and O.J. Pipelines Canada Corporation acquired O.J. Pipelines Canada, Limited Partnership (“OJPC”) in September 1998. Effective January 1, 2005, the subsidiaries owned and controlled 90.0% of OJPC operations with a 10.0% interest held by a limited partner. | ||
The Company has a 49% interest in Price Ahtna, J.V., and a 65% interest in Price Ahtna, LLC. Conam has a 49% interest in Tikigaq Conam, LLC. The Company’s total ownership from its investment exceeds fifty percent of the earnings derived from the businesses as a result of equipment services and sponsorship fees. As a result, the Company is considered to have the ability to direct policies and management of these entities, and accordingly, the balance sheets and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the joint venture and partnerships are included in the combined consolidated financial statements. The earnings and equity attributable to other parties to the joint venture and partnerships are reflected in the minority interest captions. | ||
Revenue Recognition | ||
Revenues from construction contracts are recognized on a percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of contract costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs for each contract, commencing when progress reaches a point where experience is sufficient to estimate final results with reasonable accuracy. Revenues from service and maintenance contracts are recognized when earned, as expenditures are incurred. |

As of and for the month ended January 31, 2008
Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs and those indirect costs related to contract performance, such as payroll taxes and insurance. General and administrative costs are charged to expense as incurred. Total estimated costs, and thus contract income, are impacted by changes in productivity, scheduling, unit cost of labor, subcontracts, materials and equipment. Additionally, external factors such as weather, customer needs, customer delays in providing permits and approvals, labor availability, governmental regulation and politics may affect the progress of a project’s completion and thus the timing of revenue recognition. Such changes may result in revisions to cost and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. An amount equal to contract costs attributable to claims is included in contract revenue when realization is probable and the amount can be reliably estimated. | ||
Revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed are recorded as a current asset under the caption “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts.” Billings in excess of revenues recognized are recorded as a current liability under the caption “Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts.” | ||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||
The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include all time deposits, certificates of deposit, and all highly liquid investments with original maturity dates of three months or less. The Company released $3,750,000 in restricted cash related to their demand revolving note payable to Comerica Bank in January 2008. | ||
Marketable Securities | ||
The Company accounts for investments in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 115,Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities(“SFAS 115”). Marketable securities are classified based on management’s intention at the time of purchase and reevaluated at each balance sheet date. Securities are classified as available-for-sale and carried at fair value (quoted market value) with net unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income in the combined consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses from the sales of securities and declines in value determined to be other than temporary are determined using the specific identification method and are included in the statements of combined consolidated operations under other income. | ||
During January 2008, our marketable securities consisted of auction rate securities and equity securities, which represented funds available for current operations. In accordance with SFAS 115, these short-term investments were classified as available-for-sale. The auction rate securities were carried at cost or par value, while the equity securities were recorded at fair value based on quoted market prices. Typically, the carrying value of auction rate securities approximates fair value due to the frequent resetting of their interest rates through the auction process. These securities had stated maturities beyond three months but were priced and traded as short-term instruments. The Company sold all of their auction rate securities in January 2008 at par value. | ||
Account Receivables | ||
Contract receivables from performing construction are based on contracted prices. Contract receivables are recorded when invoices can be issued under the terms of the contract and are presented in the balance sheet net of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Contract receivables are written off when they are determined to be uncollectible. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on the Company’s historical losses, the existing economic conditions in the |

construction industry, and the financial stability of its customers. The Company believes no allowance for doubtful accounts is necessary at January 31, 2008. | ||
Inventories | ||
Inventories of supplies and spare parts are recorded at the lower of cost, determined using average costs, and net realizable value. No excess or obsolescence allowances existed at January 31, 2008. | ||
Property and Equipment | ||
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Property and equipment under capital leases are stated at the present value of minimum lease payments. Improvements or betterments that extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. The cost of assets retired or otherwise disposed of and the related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts in the year of disposal. Gains or losses resulting from property and equipment disposals are recorded in other income. | ||
Depreciation on property and equipment is calculated on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, net of salvage value. The estimated useful life of construction machinery and equipment ranges from 4 to 20 years, while the estimated useful life of office furniture and equipment is 4 to 5 years. | ||
The Company reviews its property for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. There was no triggering event during January 2008 and therefore no impairment was recorded in January 2008. | ||
Deferred Construction Costs | ||
We defer material costs incurred at the beginning of a construction project when these materials benefit the entire construction period of a project, and we recognize these costs (net of estimated salvage) to the project costs based on utilization over the life of the project, generally three to six months. These material costs consist primarily of hardwood construction mats used under heavy equipment throughout the project. The amount included in Deferred Construction Costs represents amounts not yet charged to the construction projects in progress at the balance sheet date. | ||
Foreign Currency Translation | ||
The local currency of the Company’s Canadian subsidiaries is considered to be the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rate prevailing throughout the month. The effects of unrealized exchange rate fluctuations on translating foreign currency assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars are accumulated as the cumulative translation adjustment included in accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions, if any, are included in operating results for the period. | ||
Comprehensive Income | ||
Comprehensive income has been disclosed on the combined consolidated statement of stockholders’ equity. The accumulated other comprehensive income balance as of January 31, 2008 represents the cumulative translation adjustments and the net unrealized gain on available-for-sale securities. |

Income Taxes | ||
The Company has elected, under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, to be taxed as a S Corporation. Under these provisions, all income, losses, credits, and deductions of the Company are passed through to the stockholders’ individual income tax returns. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is included in the combined consolidated financial statements. | ||
In May 2006, the State of Texas enacted legislation for a Texas margin tax which restructured the state business tax by replacing the taxable capital and earned surplus components of the current franchise tax with a new “taxable margin” component. As the tax base for computing Texas margin tax is derived from an income-based measure, management determined the margin tax is an income tax and the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities should be included in the deferred tax calculation. Although the law states that the margin tax is not an income tax, it has the characteristics of an income tax since it is determined by applying a tax rate to a base that considers both revenues and expenses. For the month ended January 31, 2008, we determined the Texas margin tax to be de minimus. | ||
Use of Estimates | ||
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The use of estimated costs to complete each contract under the percentage-of-completion method, as discussed in Revenue Recognition above, is a significant variable in the process of determining income earned and is a significant factor in the accounting for contracts. Additional significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of fixed assets, allowances for doubtful accounts, employee benefit obligations, warranties, environmental liabilities, and other contingencies. Actual results could differ from these estimates. | ||
Fair Value Measurements | ||
Our financial instruments include cash, receivables, payables and debt. At January 31, 2008, the estimated fair value of such financial instruments approximated their carrying value as reflected in our balance sheet. See Note 2 for further discussion of the Company’s fair value measurement of marketable securities. | ||
2. | Marketable Securities | |
The Company implemented SFAS No. 157,Fair Value Measurementseffective January 1, 2008 for its financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis. SFAS No. 157 applies to all financial assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. This position was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The adoption had no impact on the Company’s combined consolidated financial statements. | ||
As defined in SFAS No. 157, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS No. 157 requires disclosure that establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. The statement requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following categories: |
Level 1: | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. The Company considers active markets as those in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. |

Notes to Combined Consolidated Financial Statements
As of and for the month ended January 31, 2008
Level 2: | Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. | ||
Level 3: | Measured based on prices or valuation models that required inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and less observable for objective sources (i.e., supported by little or no market activity). |
As required by SFAS No. 157, financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Per SFAS No. 157, the Company has classified its marketable securities into one of the three levels based upon the data relied upon to determine the fair value. | ||
In the absence of a secondary market, fair value was estimated based on a number of factors including the credit quality of the obligor and current available financial data of the investment. Based on this analysis, an unrecognized gain of $0.2 million is reflected at January 31, 2008 as accumulated other comprehensive income on the accompanying combined consolidated balance sheet. | ||

The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of their business. In the opinion of management, the aggregate liability, if any, with respect to these other actions will not materially adversely affect the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company. The Company has the usual liability of contractors for the completion of contracts and the warranty of its work. In addition, the Company acts as prime contractor on a majority of the projects it undertakes and is typically responsible for the performance of the construction portion of the project, including subcontract work. Management is not aware of any material exposure related thereto which has not been provided for in the accompanying combined consolidated financial statements. | ||
Certain post-contract completion audits and reviews are periodically conducted by customers and/or government entities. One of our customers recently completed a review allowed under the contract terms and has notified the Company of claims for billing adjustments. Management has assessed this claim and believes it has adequately provided for its best estimate of exposure based on currently available information. While there can be no assurance that other claims will not be received as a result of such audits and reviews, management does not believe a legitimate basis exists for any material claims. At present, it is not possible for management to estimate the likelihood of such other claims being asserted or, if asserted, the amount or nature or ultimate disposition thereof. | ||
10. | Employee Benefit Plan | |
The Company has a defined contribution plan for all eligible employees and, at the discretion of the board of directors, makes annual contributions to the plan. | ||
The Company has a savings plan in the form of a defined contribution plan (the “401(k) Plan”) for substantially all U.S. based full-time employees of the Company. Employees of the company who have completed one or more years of active service, are eligible to participate, provided they are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement in which retirement benefits were the subject of good faith bargaining between the employee’s representative and the Company and the agreement does not require the Company to include such employees in the Plan. The 401(k) Plan provides for Company contributions in an amount equal to 15% of participants’ defined compensation subject to limits set forth by the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). No participant contributions to the 401(k) Plan are allowed other than direct rollovers from another qualified retirement plan. The Company made contributions of $555,000 to the plan in the month ended January 31, 2008, respectively. | ||
Vesting in the Company’s contributions is based on years of vesting service. A participant is 100 percent vested after four years of credited service. Full and immediate vesting will also occur upon attainment of normal retirement age, death or disability. Participants who leave the Company before they are fully vested in the Company’s contributions forfeit their nonvested portion. | ||
11. | Related Party Transactions | |
The Company also maintains a subordinated, floating rate working capital line of credit guaranteed by Tie-in-Equipment Corp., an entity related to the Company through common ownership. Collateral for this commitment is a security interest in and a lien over all existing personal and real property of the Company. No commitment fee was paid for the month ended January 31, 2008. |

12. | Concentrated Market and Credit Risks | |
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash balances and highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents and temporary cash investments with high credit quality financial institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of FDIC insurance limits. | ||
Accounts receivable at any given time are primarily concentrated in a small number of customer accounts. The Company grants credit, generally without collateral, to its customers. Management believes that its contract acceptance, billing, and collection policies are adequate to minimize potential credit risk. To enforce collection of potential past-due balances, the Company can resort to mechanics’ and materialmens’ liens. | ||
The Company’s customers are primarily engaged in the business of exploring for and producing oil and natural gas in Canada and the United States. The financial well being of these companies is affected by the price of these commodities. A concentrated number of the Company’s customers generated more than 10% of contract revenues and receivables. For the month ended January 31, 2008, one domestic customer and one foreign customer exceeded 10% of contract revenues, with revenues of $15.6 million and $24.4 million, respectively. Two domestic customers and one foreign customer had balances greater than 10% of contract receivables comprising of 75% and 15% of the total contract receivables balance, respectively. | ||
