All information included in these financial statements is the representation of the management of T. W. LaQuay Dredging, Inc.
A review consists principally of inquiries of Company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data.

Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our review was made for the purpose of expressing limited assurance that there are no material modifications that should be made to the financial statements in order for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. The information included in the accompanying schedules is presented only for supplementary analysis purposes. Such information has been subjected to the inquiry and analytical procedures applied in the review of the basic financial statements, and we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made thereto.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2009
| 1. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Business Activity:
The Corporation is engaged in marine dredging and construction. The work is performed under fixed·price contracts and unit-price contracts. The lengths of the contracts vary but are typically less than one year.
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
Method of Accounting
The accrual method of accounting is used for tax reporting and for financial reporting.
Cash and Cash Equivalents:
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid temporary cash investments of three months or less.
Receivables:
It is the policy of the Corporation to write off doubtful receivables directly to expense when deemed uncollectible. The effect of this method does not differ materially from generally accepted accounting principles. No receivables have been written off for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
Property and Equipment:
Property and equipment are carried at cost. A provision for depreciation of property and equipment of $986,225.21 for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 has been computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes at rates based on the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings and improvements 31.5 Years
Automobiles and trucks 5 Years
Tools and equipment 5-20 Years
Office equipment and furniture 10 Years
For federal income tax purposes, depreciation is computed using the accelerated methods allowed. Expenditures for major renewals and betterments that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized. Expenditures for normal maintenance and repairs are charged to expense when incurred.
Use of Estimates
Management uses estimates and assumptions in preparing these financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Those estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and the reported revenues and expenses. Actual results could vary from the estimates that were used.
Financial Instruments
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Corporation to estimate the fair values of financial instruments as disclosed herein:
T.W. LAQUAY DREDGING, INC.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30,2009
Cash and equivalents: The carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short period to maturity of the instruments.
Short-term borrowings: The carrying amount approximates fair value since the interest rate fluctuates with the lending bank's prime rate.
Long-term debt: The fair value of long-term debt is estimated based on interest rates for the same or similar debt offered to the Corporation having the same or similar remaining maturities and collateral requirements.
Revenues and Costs Recognition:
The Corporation recognizes revenues for financial and tax purposes from fixed-price construction contracts on the percentage-of-completion method. Under this method, profits from construction contracts are recognized by applying percentage of completion to the total estimated profit for each respective contract. The percentage of completion is determined by the percentage of cost incurred to date to total cost for each contract. Unbilled income represents the excess of contract costs and profit recognized over billings to date on certain contracts.
Revenues from unit-price dredging contracts are recognized on the estimated number of units excavated. The estimated number of cubic yards excavated is determined by engineering surveys.
Other revenues and expenses are recorded on the accrual basis. Revenues are reported when earned and expenses are deducted when incurred.
2. CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK
The Corporation has no cash deposits in financial institutions which exceed the insured amounts as of September 30, 2009. The financial institutions are participating in the FDIC's Transaction Account Guarantee Program. All non-interest-bearing transaction accounts are fully guaranteed by the FDIC. Management does not believe that receivables are concentrated so as to create a credit risk.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30. 2009
8. INCOME TAXES
The Corporation reports its taxable income as a Subchapter S Corporation under provisions of Sections 1371 and 1372 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under this election, taxable income of the Corporation is reported on the tax returns of its shareholders. As a result, the Corporation has not provided for federal income taxes as of September 30, 2009.
9. TAX DISCLOSURE -PASS THROUGH ENTITIES
Taxable income is reported on the federal tax returns of individual owners/shareholders/members. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax in the accompanying financial statements.
The amount of taxable income to owners/shareholders/members at September 30, 2009 is $8,736,777.59. Subsequent to September 30, 2009, management will have to make distributions for income taxes.
Due to various timing differences, income is recognized in different periods for tax reporting purposes than for financial statement purposes. The deferred taxable income and the resulting deferred taxes that would have been recognized if the company were not considered a pass through entity are comprised of the following:
Timing Differences Deferred Taxes
Contract income recognition differences: 0.00 0.00
Differences in deprecation methods: 10,448,249.19 3,552,404.72
Other timing differences: (179,171.89) (60,918.44)
Totals: 10,269,077.30 3,491,486.28
10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Corporation is currently the plaintiff in a lawsuit against Anthony Crane Rental of Texas, L.P. dba Maxim Crane Works. This lawsuit involved an accident whereby a Maxim Crane Works operator caused damage to a crane that had been rented by the Corporation. The Corporation filed a Declaratory Judgment Act seeking to establish that the rental agreement they signed did not indemnify the Defendants for the defendant's own negligence. Maxim Crane Works has countersued the Corporation for breach of contract under the lease agreement for $97,037.39 in damages plus attorney fees and court costs. The case has been on file since November 8, 2001 and very little legal work was done on the case in 2002. There was no action by either the Plaintiff or the Defendant on the lawsuit during the calendar years 2003 -2006 and the Corporation and legal counsel hope to have the case dismissed if it remains dormant. It is difficult to predict the likelihood of the outcome of this case; however, the range of potential loss would probably be in the maximum range of $150,000.00 if Maxim Crane Works were to prevail on their claim and receive their attorney fees from the Court.
We are not aware of any other material claims pending against the Corporation.
