NOTE A Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
by EMCOR Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries ("EMCOR"), without audit, pursuant to the
interim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Consequently, certain
information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States have been condensed or omitted. Readers of this report should
refer to the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in
EMCOR's latest Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
In the opinion of EMCOR, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting only of a normal
recurring nature) necessary to present fairly the financial position of EMCOR
and the results of its operations. The results of operations for the three month
period ended March 31, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the year ending December 31, 2004.
Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made to conform to
current year presentation.
NOTE B Earnings Per Share

NOTE C Valuation of Stock Option Grants
EMCOR has stock-based compensation plans and programs. EMCOR applies Accounting
Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees"
("APB 25") and related interpretations in accounting for its stock options.
Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in the accompanying
Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March
31, 2004 and 2003 in respect of stock options granted during those periods
inasmuch as EMCOR grants stock options at fair market value. Had compensation
cost for these options been determined consistent with SFAS 123, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation" and SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
- - Transition and Disclosure," EMCOR's net income, basic earnings per share
("Basic EPS") and diluted earnings per share ("Diluted EPS") would have been
reduced from the "as reported amounts" below to the "pro forma amounts" below
for the three month periods ended March 31 (in thousands, except per share
amounts):

Employer Contributions
As of March 31, 2004, EMCOR's United Kingdom subsidiary contributed $1.6 million
to its defined benefit pension plan and anticipates contributing an additional
$6.1 million in the remainder of 2004.
NOTE F Income Taxes
For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the income tax benefit was $12.4
million, compared to an income tax provision of $2.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2003. The income tax benefit in the current period was
comprised of a reversal of $9.6 million in income tax reserves no longer
required based on a current analysis of probable exposures and $2.8 million of a
tax benefit at an effective income tax rate of 42% on a $6.7 million loss before
income taxes. The provision on income before income taxes for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 was at an effective income tax rate of approximately 44% on
$5.8 million of income before income taxes. The decrease in the effective income
tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2003 was primarily due to increased income anticipated in
certain lower tax rate jurisdictions.

As described below in more detail, revenues for the three months ended March 31,
2004 increased 4.5% to $1.11 billion compared to $1.06 billion for the three
months ended March 31, 2003. The revenues increase was principally due to an
increase in work performed on longer-term transportation infrastructure,
financial services, health care and hospitality construction projects and
increases in site-based facilities services maintenance contracts. This increase
in revenues in the first quarter of 2004 compared to the first quarter of 2003
was partially offset by lower revenues from power generation projects, office
and manufacturing construction projects, mobile services, discretionary small
projects, and repair and maintenance work.
Revenues of United States electrical construction and facilities services
segment for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased $25.0 million
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. The revenues increase was due
to increased transportation infrastructure, financial services and hospitality
work, partially offset by decreased power generation, office and manufacturing
work.
Revenues of United States mechanical construction and facilities services
segment for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased $6.2 million
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003. The revenues increase was
primarily attributable to increased health care and hospitality work, partially
offset by decreased power generation work.
United States facilities services revenues, which include those operations that
principally provide consulting and maintenance services, increased $10.1 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2003. The revenues increase was primarily attributable to increased
revenues from site-based facilities services contracts, partially offset by
decreased revenues from mobile services including discretionary small projects
and repair and maintenance work and the completion by December 31, 2003 of
certain projects performed in the 2003 first quarter.
Revenues of Canada construction and facilities services decreased by $17.4
million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2003. This decrease in revenues for the three months ended March
31, 2004 was due to the completion by December 31, 2003 of certain long-term
power generation projects. The decrease was partially offset by $9.6 million of
increased revenues related to the change in the rate of exchange for Canadian
dollars to United States dollars due to the strengthening of the Canadian
dollar.
United Kingdom construction and facilities services revenues increased $24.2
million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2003 principally due to an increase of $19.6 million caused by a
change in the rate of exchange for British pounds to United States dollars due
to strengthening of the British pound.
Other international construction and facilities services activities consist of
EMCOR's operations primarily in the Middle East and South Africa. All of the
current projects in these markets are being performed by joint ventures , and
accordingly, the results of these joint venture operations are accounted for
under the equity method of accounting because EMCOR has less than majority
ownership. Therefore, revenues attributable to such joint ventures are not
reflected as revenues in the consolidated financial statements. EMCOR continues
to pursue new business selectively in these markets and in Continental Europe;
however, the availability of opportunities there has been significantly reduced
as a result of local economic factors.
Cost of sales and Gross profit
The following table presents EMCOR's cost of sales, gross profit, and gross
profit as a percentage of revenues (in thousands, except for percentages):
For the three months ended March 31,
------------------------------------
2004 2003
---- ----
Cost of sales.............................. $1,007,923 $944,261
Gross profit............................... 101,163 116,769
Gross profit, as a percentage of revenues.. 9.1% 11.0%
Gross profit (revenues less cost of sales) decreased $15.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 9.1% for the three months ended
March 31, 2004 compared to 11.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2003. This
lower gross profit for the 2004 first quarter was primarily attributable to: 1)
poor contract performance on certain construction work related to increased
labor requirements to perform the work and continued reduced labor productivity
due to the uncertain construction job market; 2) continued decreased
availability of generally more profitable discretionary small projects and
repair and maintenance work; 3) increased competition for, and a related
decrease in gross profit margin on, commercial and industrial work in the United
States; and 4) an increase in the percentage of work relating to public sector
construction work that typically has lower gross profit margins than private
sector work. These factors were partially offset by improvements in gross profit
from certain United States construction work and site-based facilities services
contracts and by reduced losses from the United Kingdom construction and
facilities services segment.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
The following table presents EMCOR's selling, general and administrative
expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues (in thousands, except for percentages):
For the three months ended March 31,
------------------------------------
2004 2003
---- ----
Selling, general and administrative expenses............................... $101,001 $109,175
Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of revenues.. 9.1% 10.3%
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March
31, 2004 decreased $8.2 million to $101.0 million compared to $109.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2003. Selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues were 9.1% for the three months ended March
31, 2004, compared to 10.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2003. For the
three month period ended March 31, 2004, the decrease in selling, general and
administrative expenses both in dollars and as a percentage of revenues compared
to the same period in the prior year was primarily attributable to reduced
incentive compensation related to less favorable financial performance, a
reduction in personnel and reduced provisions for doubtful accounts.
Restructuring expenses
Restructuring expenses, primarily relating to employee severance obligations,
were $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. Approximately $3.0
million of the restructuring obligations were paid as of March 31, 2004. EMCOR
anticipates paying approximately $1.7 million of the remaining obligations in
fiscal 2004 and $0.5 million, thereafter. There were no restructuring expenses
for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Operating income

As described below in more detail, operating income decreased by $12.6 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2004 to a loss of $5.0 million compared to
operating income of $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
United States electrical construction and facilities services operating income
for the three months ended March 31, 2004 increased $4.3 million compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2003. The increase in operating income was
primarily the result of 1) increased gross profit on transportation
infrastructure, financial services, and hospitality construction projects and 2)
increased estimated cost recoveries upon completion of certain projects,
partially offset by a decline in office and manufacturing work and by
unprofitable performance on certain power generation projects. Selling, general
and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to a reduction in personnel
and reduced provisions for doubtful accounts.
United States mechanical construction and facilities services operating loss for
the three months ended March 31, 2004 was $7.8 million, a $12.1 million decrease
compared to operating income of $4.3 million the three months ended March 31,
2003. The operating loss was primarily attributable to: 1) poor contract
performance on certain construction work related to increased labor requirements
to perform the work and continued reduced labor productivity due to the
uncertain construction job market; 2) a continued decreased availability of
generally more profitable discretionary small projects and repair and
maintenance work; and 3) reductions in estimated cost recoveries upon completion
of certain projects. Partially offsetting the losses were decreased selling,
general and administrative expenses related to reduced incentive compensation on
less favorable financial performance and personnel reductions.
United States facilities services operating loss for the three months ended
March 31, 2004 was $1.6 million compared to operating income of $2.2 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2003. The operating loss was attributable to
approximately $2.3 million of losses on certain construction projects, outside
of the normal facilities services operations of this segment, that were
contracted for by subsidiaries in this segment prior to their acquisition by
EMCOR. In addition to these losses, in the first quarter of 2004 compared to the
first quarter of 2003, there was a decrease in mobile services work,
discretionary small projects and repair and maintenance work. Also, the
completion of certain projects performed during the period ended March 31, 2003
contributed to the decrease. Conversely, there was an increase in income from
site-based facilities services in the 2004 first quarter compared to the similar
2003 period. The losses were also partially offset by decreased selling, general
and administrative expenses related to reduced incentive compensation on less
favorable financial performance, reduction in personnel and reduced provisions
for doubtful accounts.
Canada construction and facilities services operating income was $0.02 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2004, compared to $0.6 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2003. The decrease in operating income was
attributable to an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses
related to increased travel and other direct selling expenses.
United Kingdom construction and facilities services operating losses for the
three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were $1.3 million and $4.5 million,
respectively. This decrease in operating losses was attributable to a reduction
in selling, general and administrative expenses related to a reorganization of
the United Kingdom operations in late 2003 and an improvement in 2004 first
quarter gross profit inasmuch as there had been unfavorable project close-outs
in the first quarter of 2003. The change in the rate of exchange for British
pounds to United States dollars due to strengthening of the British pound
resulted in a $0.2 million incremental loss in the 2004 first quarter.
Other international construction and facilities services operating income was
$0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to $0.2 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2003. EMCOR continues to pursue new
business selectively in the Middle East and South Africa as well as in
Continental Europe; however, the availability of opportunities has been
significantly reduced as a result of local economic factors.
Corporate administration expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004 was
$6.7 million compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
The decrease in expenses was primarily due to general cost reductions.
Restructuring expenses, primarily relating to employee severance obligations,
were $5.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2004. There were no
restructuring expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 was $1.8
million and $2.0 million, respectively. The decrease in interest expense was
primarily due to reduced borrowings under the working capital credit line.
Interest income of $0.2 million remained constant for the three months ended
March 31, 2004 compared to the same three months in 2003. Changes in the
interest rate on borrowings did not have a significant impact on interest
expense or income during the first quarter of 2004.
For the three months ended March 31, 2004, the income tax benefit was $12.4
million, compared to an income tax provision of $2.5 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2003. The income tax benefit in the current period was
comprised of a reversal of $9.6 million in income tax reserves no longer
required based on a current analysis of probable exposures and $2.8 million of a
tax benefit at an effective income tax rate of 42% on a $6.7 million loss before
income taxes. The provision on income before income taxes for the three months
ended March 31, 2003 was at an effective income tax rate of approximately 44% on
$5.8 million of income before income taxes. The decrease in the effective income
tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2003 was primarily due to increased income anticipated in
certain lower tax rate jurisdictions.
EMCOR's contract backlog at March 31, 2004 was $3.08 billion compared to $3.09
billion of contract backlog at March 31, 2003. The $0.01 billion decrease was
primarily due to a $0.18 million decrease in United States electrical
construction and facilities services segment backlog, mostly offset by a $0.15
billion increase in United States facilities backlog and minor increases in
EMCOR's other segments.
EMCOR's contract backlog was $3.08 billion at March 31, 2004 and $3.03 billion
at December 31, 2003. The $0.05 billion increase was primarily due to a $0.15
billion increase in backlog for the United States facilities services segment,
partially offset by decreases in backlog for EMCOR's other segments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table presents EMCOR's net cash (used in) provided by operating
activities, investing activities and financing activities (in thousands):
For the three months
ended March 31,
--------------------
2004 2003
---- ----
Net cash used in operating activities................. $ (2,445) $(61,326)
Net cash used in investing activities................. $ (2,096) $ (9,174)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities... $(20,723) $ 33,272
EMCOR's consolidated cash balance decreased by approximately $25.3 million from
$78.3 million at December 31, 2003 to $53.0 million at March 31, 2004. The $58.9
million improvement in net cash used in operating activities for the three
months ended March 31, 2004 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2003
was primarily due to greater cash required in the first quarter of 2003 to
support the shift toward increased public sector work, which work typically
involves larger projects and significant working capital requirements until
initial billing milestones can be reached. In addition, in the 2004 period,
there was an improvement in EMCOR's net over-billed position, which is the
balance sheet accounts billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on
uncompleted contracts less cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts, contributing to the reduction in cash used in operating
activities. Net cash used in investing activities of $2.1 million in the first
quarter of 2004 decreased $7.1 million compared to $9.2 million in the same
quarter in the prior year primarily due to a $2.9 million reduction in the
purchase of property, plant and equipment, a $1.7 million increase in proceeds
on investments and a $1.7 million reduction in earn-out payments as earn-out
periods provided for in most acquisition agreements have expired. Net cash used
in financing activities of $20.7 million in the first quarter of 2004 decreased
$54.0 million from the net cash provided by financing activities of $33.3
million for the first quarter of 2003 and primarily was attributable to
repayments under the working capital credit line.

(1) Represent open purchase orders for material and subcontracting costs
related to the Company's construction and service contracts. These purchase
orders are not reflected in EMCOR's consolidated balance sheet and should
not impact future cash flows as amounts will be recovered through customer
billings.
(2) Represent primarily insurance related liabilities, classified as other
long-term liabilities in EMCOR's consolidated balance sheets. Cash payments
for insurance related liabilities may be payable beyond three years, but it
is not practical to estimate.
(3) EMCOR classifies these borrowings as short-term on its consolidated balance
sheet because of EMCOR's intent and ability to repay the amounts on a
short-term basis.
EMCOR's revolving credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Facility") provides
for a credit facility of $350.0 million. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31,
2003, EMCOR had approximately $52.0 million and $42.9 million of letters of
credit outstanding, respectively, under the Revolving Credit Facility. The
amounts borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003 were $118.4 million and $139.4 million, respectively.
A subsidiary of EMCOR has guaranteed indebtedness of a venture in which it has a
40% interest; the other venture partner, Baltimore Gas and Electric, has a 60%
interest. The venture designs, constructs, owns, operates, leases and maintains
facilities to produce chilled water for sale to customers for use in air
conditioning commercial properties. These guarantees are not expected to have a
material effect on EMCOR's financial position or results of operations. Each of
the venturers is jointly and severally liable, in the event of default, for the
venture's $25.0 million borrowing due December 2031.
EMCOR is contingently liable to sureties in respect of performance and payment
bonds issued by sureties, usually at the request of customers in connection with
construction projects, which secure EMCOR payment and performance obligations
under contracts for such projects. In addition, at the request of labor unions
representing EMCOR employees, bonds are sometimes provided to secure such
obligations for wages and benefits payable to or for such employees. EMCOR
bonding requirements typically increase as the amount of public sector backlog
increases. As of March 31, 2004, sureties had issued bonds for the account of
EMCOR in the aggregate amount of approximately $1.8 billion. The bonds are
issued by EMCOR's sureties in return for a premium, which varies depending on
the size and type of bond. The largest individual bond is approximately $170.0
million. EMCOR has agreed to indemnify the sureties for any payments made by
them in respect of bonds issued on EMCOR's behalf.
EMCOR does not have any other material financial guarantees or off-balance sheet
arrangements other than those disclosed herein.
The primary source of liquidity for EMCOR has typically been, and is generally
expected to continue to be, cash generated by operating activities. EMCOR also
maintains the Revolving Credit Facility that may be utilized, among other
things, to meet short-term liquidity needs in the event cash generated by
operating activities is insufficient, or to enable EMCOR to seize opportunities
to participate in joint ventures or to make acquisitions that may require access
to cash on short notice or for any other reason. EMCOR may also increase
liquidity through an equity offering or other debt instruments. Short-term
changes in macroeconomic trends may have an effect, positively or negatively, on
liquidity. In addition to managing borrowings, EMCOR's focus on the facilities
services market is intended to provide an additional buffer against economic
downturns, as the facilities services market is characterized by annual and
multi-year contracts that provide a more predictable stream of cash flows than
the construction market. Short-term liquidity is also impacted by the type and
length of construction contracts in place. During economic downturns, such as
the 2001 through 2003 period, there are typically fewer discretionary small
projects from the private sector and companies such as EMCOR more aggressively
bid large long-term infrastructure and public sector contracts. Performance of
long duration contracts typically requires working capital until initial billing
milestones are achieved. While EMCOR strives to maintain a net over-billed
position with its customers, there can be no assurance that a net over-billed
position can be maintained. EMCOR's net over-billings, defined as the balance
sheet accounts billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted
contracts less cost and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts, was $139.6 million and $95.8 million as of March 31, 2004 and
December 31, 2003, respectively.
Long-term liquidity requirements can be expected to be met through cash
generated from operating activities, the Revolving Credit Facility, and the sale
of various secured or unsecured debt and/or equity interests in the public and
private markets. Based upon EMCOR's current credit ratings and financial
position, EMCOR can reasonably expect to be able to issue long-term debt
instruments and/or equity. Over the long term, EMCOR's primary revenue risk
factor continues to be the level of demand for non-residential construction
services, which is in turn influenced by macroeconomic trends including interest
rates and governmental economic policy. In order to provide protection against
demand cycles in private sector construction services, EMCOR has increased its
participation, and its backlog of contracts, in the public sector and in the
facilities services market. In addition to the primary revenue risk factor,
EMCOR's ability to perform work at profitable levels is critical to meeting
long-term liquidity requirements.
EMCOR believes that current cash balances and borrowing capacity available under
the Revolving Credit Facility or other forms of financing available through debt
or equity offerings, combined with cash expected to be generated from
operations, will be sufficient to provide short-term and foreseeable long-term
liquidity and meet expected capital expenditure requirements. However, EMCOR is
a party to lawsuits and other proceedings in which other parties seek to recover
from it amounts ranging from a few thousand dollars to over $70.0 million. If
EMCOR was required to pay damages in one or more such proceedings, such payments
could have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of
operations and/or cash flows.
Certain Insurance Matters
As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, EMCOR was utilizing approximately
$41.4 million and $37.7 million, respectively, of letters of credit obtained
under its revolving credit facility as collateral for its insurance obligations.
Application of Critical Accounting Policies
The condensed consolidated financial statements are based on the application of
significant accounting policies, which require management to make significant
estimates and assumptions. EMCOR's significant accounting policies are described
in Note B - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies of the notes to
consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. There was no initial adoption of
any accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2004. EMCOR
believes that some of the more critical judgment areas in the application of
accounting policies that affect its financial condition and results of
operations are estimates and judgments pertaining to (a) revenue recognition
from (i) long-term construction contracts for which the percentage of completion
method of accounting is used and (ii) services contracts, (b) collectibility or
valuation of accounts receivable, (c) insurance liabilities, (d) income taxes
and (e) intangible assets.
Revenue Recognition for Long-term Construction Contracts and Services Contracts
EMCOR believes its most critical accounting policy is revenue recognition from
long-term construction contracts for which EMCOR uses the
percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Percentage-of-completion
accounting is the prescribed method of accounting for long-term contracts in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States,
Statement of Position No 81-1, "Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type
and Certain Production-Type Contracts," and, accordingly, the method used for
revenue recognition within EMCOR's industry. Percentage-of-completion for each
contract is measured principally by the ratio of costs incurred to date to
perform each contract to the estimated total costs to perform such contract at
completion. Certain of EMCOR's electrical contracting business units measure
percentage-of-completion by the percentage of labor costs incurred to date to
perform each contract to the estimated total labor costs to perform such
contract at completion. Provisions for the entirety of estimated losses on
uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are
determined. Application of percentage-of-completion accounting results in the
recognition of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted
contracts in EMCOR's consolidated balance sheets. Costs and estimated earnings
in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts reflected in the consolidated
balance sheets arise when revenues have been recognized but the amounts cannot
be billed under the terms of contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from
customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain
milestones, completion of specified units or completion of a contract. Costs and
estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts also include
amounts in dispute EMCOR seeks or will seek to collect from customers or others
for errors or changes in contract specifications or design, contract change
orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price, or other
customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (claims and
unapproved change orders). Such amounts are recorded at estimated net realizable
value and take into account factors that may affect the ability to bill and
collect amounts billed. Due to uncertainties inherent in estimates employed in
applying percentage-of-completion accounting, estimates may be revised as
project work progresses. Application of percentage-of-completion accounting
requires that the impact of revised estimates be reported prospectively in the
consolidated financial statements.
In addition to revenue recognition for long-term construction contracts, EMCOR
recognizes revenues from service contracts as such contracts are performed in
accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition, revised
and updated" ("SAB 104"). There are two basic types of services contracts: (1)
fixed price services contracts which are signed in advance for maintenance,
repair and retrofit work over periods typically ranging from one to three years
(for which there may be EMCOR employees on a customer's site full time) and (2)
services contracts which may or may not be signed in advance for similar
maintenance, repair and retrofit work on an as needed basis (frequently referred
to as time and material work). Fixed price services contracts are generally
performed evenly over the contract period, and, accordingly, revenue is
recognized on a pro-rata basis over the life of the contract. Revenues derived
from other services contracts are recognized when the services are performed in
accordance with SAB 104. Expenses related to all services contracts are
recognized as incurred.
Accounts Receivable
EMCOR is required to estimate the collectibility of accounts receivable. A
considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the realization of
receivables, which assessment factors include the creditworthiness of the
customer, EMCOR's prior collection history with the customer and related aging
of the past due balances. The provision for bad debts during the three months
ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 were $0.5 and $3.0 million, respectively. At March
31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, accounts receivable of $1,044.0 million and
$1,009.2 million, respectively, included allowances of $43.6 million and $43.7
million, respectively. Specific accounts receivable are evaluated when EMCOR
believes a customer may not be able to meet its financial obligations due to a
deterioration of its financial condition or credit ratings or its bankruptcy.
The allowance requirements are based on the best facts available and are
re-evaluated as additional information is received.
Insurance Liabilities
EMCOR has deductibles for certain workers' compensation, auto liability, general
liability and property claims, has self-insured retentions for certain other
casualty claims, and is self-insured for employee-related health care claims.
Losses are recorded based upon estimates of the liability for claims incurred
and an estimate of claims incurred but not reported. The liabilities are derived
from known facts, historical trends and industry averages utilizing the
assistance of an actuary to determine the best estimate of these obligations.
EMCOR believes its liabilities for these obligations are adequate. However, such
obligations are difficult to assess and estimate due to numerous factors,
including severity of injury, determination of liability in proportion to other
parties, timely reporting of occurrences and effectiveness of safety and risk
management programs. Therefore, if actual experience differs from the
assumptions and estimates used for recording the liabilities, adjustments may be
required and would be recorded in the period that the experience becomes known.
Income Taxes
EMCOR has net deferred tax assets primarily resulting from deductible temporary
differences, which will reduce taxable income in future periods. A valuation
allowance is required when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of a
deferred tax asset will not be realized. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31,
2003, the total valuation allowance on net deferred tax assets was approximately
$2.0 million.
Intangible Assets
As of March 31, 2004, EMCOR had goodwill and net identifiable intangible assets
(primarily the market value of its backlog, customer relationships and
trademarks and trade names) of $279.3 million and $21.4 million, respectively,
in connection with the acquisition of certain companies. The determination of
related estimated useful lives for identifiable intangible assets and whether
those assets are impaired involves significant judgments based upon short and
long-term projections of future performance. These forecasts reflect assumptions
regarding the ability to successfully integrate acquired companies. Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 142,"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets"
("SFAS 142") requires goodwill to be tested for impairment, on at least an
annual basis, and be written down when impaired, rather than amortized as
previous standards required. Furthermore, SFAS 142 requires identifiable
intangible assets other than goodwill to be amortized over their useful lives
unless these lives are determined to be indefinite. Changes in strategy and/or
market conditions may result in adjustments to recorded intangible asset
balances. As of March 31, 2004, no indicators of impairment of its goodwill or
identifiable intangible assets existed in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
142.

competition, unfavorable labor productivity, mix of business, and risks
associated with foreign operations. Certain of the risks and factors associated
with EMCOR's business are also discussed in EMCOR's 2003 Form 10-K and in other
reports filed by it from time to time with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Readers should take the aforementioned risks and factors into
account in evaluating any forward-looking statements.
ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
EMCOR has not used derivative financial instruments for any purpose during the
three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, including trading or speculation on
changes in interest rates, or commodity prices of materials used in its
business.
EMCOR is exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates for borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Facility. Borrowings under that facility bear
interest at variable rates, and the fair value of this borrowing is not
significantly affected by changes in market interest rates. As of March 31,
2004, there was $118.4 million of borrowings outstanding under the facility, and
these borrowings bear interest at (1) a rate which is the prime commercial
lending rate announced by Harris Nesbitt from time to time (4.0% at March 31,
2004) plus 0% to 1.0% based on certain financial tests or (2) United States
dollar LIBOR (at March 31, 2004 the rate was 1.09%) plus 1.5% to 2.5% based on
certain financial tests. The interest rates in effect at March 31, 2004 were
4.25% and 2.84% for the prime commercial lending rate and the United States
dollar LIBOR, respectively. Letter of credit fees issued under this facility
range from 0.75% to 2.5% of the respective face amounts of the letters of credit
issued and are charged based on the type of letter of credit issued and certain
financial tests. Based on the borrowings outstanding of $118.4 million, if the
overall interest rates were to increase by 1.0%, the net of tax interest expense
would increase approximately $0.7 million in the next twelve months. Conversely,
if the overall interest rates were to decrease by 1.0%, interest expense would
decrease by approximately $0.7 million in the next twelve months. The Revolving
Credit Facility expires in September 2007. There is no guarantee that EMCOR will
be able to renew the facility at its expiration.
EMCOR is also exposed to market risk and its potential related impact on
accounts receivable or costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on
uncompleted contracts. The amounts recorded may be at risk if customers' ability
to settle these obligations is negatively impacted by economic conditions. EMCOR
continually monitors the creditworthiness of its customers and maintains
on-going discussions with customers regarding contract status with respect to
change orders and billing terms. Therefore, EMCOR believes it takes appropriate
action to manage market and other risks, but there is no assurance that it will
be able to reasonably identify all risks with respect to collectibility of these
assets. See also the previous discussion of Accounts Receivable under the
heading, "Application of Critical Accounting Policies" in the Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
Amounts invested in EMCOR's foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars
at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the period. The resulting
translation adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income
(loss), a component of stockholders' equity, in the condensed consolidated
balance sheets. EMCOR believes the exposure to the effects that fluctuating
foreign currencies may have on the consolidated results of operations is limited
because the foreign operations primarily invoice customers and collect
obligations in their respective local currencies. Additionally, expenses
associated with these transactions are generally contracted and paid for in
their same local currencies.
In addition, EMCOR is exposed to market risk of fluctuations in certain
commodity prices of materials such as copper and steel utilized in both its
construction and facilities services operations. EMCOR believes it can be
successful in recovery of commodity price escalations.
ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Based on an evaluation of EMCOR's disclosure controls and procedures
conducted within 90 days of the date of filing this Form 10-Q, the Chairman
of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of EMCOR, Frank T. MacInnis, and
the Chief Financial Officer of EMCOR, Leicle E. Chesser, have concluded
that EMCOR's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules
13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 are effective.
(b) There were no significant changes in the internal controls or in other
factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the
date of their most recent evaluation.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Except for the legal proceedings described below, there have been no new
developments during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 regarding legal proceedings
reported in EMCOR's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2003.
EMCOR and three of its officers (Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer,
and President Frank T. MacInnis, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial
Officer Leicle E. Chesser, and Senior Vice President-Chief Accounting Officer,
and Treasurer Mark Pompa) have been named as defendants in two purported class
actions filed in the United States District Court of Connecticut - one entitled
Simons v. EMCOR Group, Inc., Leicle E. Chesser, Frank T. MacInnis and Mark Pompa
filed on March 31, 2004 and the other entitled V. Richard Bolan v. EMCOR Group,
Inc., Leicle E. Chesser, Frank T. MacInnis and Mark A. Pompa filed on April 8,
2004. Plaintiffs, alleged purchasers of shares of common stock of EMCOR, purport
to represent a class composed of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired
EMCOR common stock and/or other securities between April 9, 2003 and October 2,
2003 inclusive. The complaints allege violations of Section 10(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 thereunder and of Section 20(A) of the
Securities Exchange Act, relating to alleged misstatements and omissions in
certain of the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission,
press releases and other public statements between April 9 and October 2, 2003,
and seek damages on behalf of the purported class in unspecified amounts. EMCOR
and the individual defendants believe the plaintiffs' allegations to be without
merit and intend to vigorously defend against them.
In July 2003, EMCOR's subsidiary, the Poole & Kent Corporation ("Poole & Kent"),
was served with a subpoena duces tecum by a grand jury empaneled by the United
States District Court for the District of Maryland which is investigating, among
other things, Poole & Kent's use of minority and woman-owned business
enterprises. Poole & Kent has produced documents in response to the subpoena and
to subsequent subpoenae directed to it requesting certain business records. On
April 26, 2004, Poole & Kent was advised that it is a target of the grand jury
investigation. Poole & Kent is cooperating with the investigation.
ITEM 5 OTHER INFORMATION
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Corporate Governance
Committee") of the Board of Directors of EMCOR will consider recommendations for
candidates for Board membership suggested by Committee members, other Board
members and stockholders. A stockholder who wishes the Corporate Governance
Committee to consider his/her recommendations for nominees for the position of
director should submit his/her recommendations in writing to the Corporate
Governance Committee in care of Corporate Secretary, EMCOR Group, Inc., 301
Merritt Seven, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851, together with whatever supporting
material the stockholder considers appropriate. The material, at a minimum,
should include such background and biographical material as will enable the
Corporate Governance Committee to make an initial determination as to whether
the prospective nominee satisfies the criteria for directors set out in the
Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Corporate Governance Guidelines
are available at the Company's website at www.emcorgroup.com.
If the Corporate Governance Committee identifies a need to replace a current
member of the Board of Directors, to fill a vacancy in the Board, or to expand
the size of the Board, the process to be followed by the Committee to identify
and evaluate candidates includes: (a) consideration of those individuals
recommended by stockholders as candidates for Board membership and those
individuals recommended in response to requests for recommendations made of
Board members and others, including those suggested by third party executive
search firms retained by the Committee, from time to time, (b) meetings from
time to time to evaluate biographical information and background material
relating to candidates, and (c) interviews of selected candidates by members of
the Committee.
As provided in the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines, in its assessment
of each potential candidate, the Corporate Governance Committee is to consider
the candidate's achievements in his or her personal career, experience, wisdom,
integrity, ability to make independent analytical inquiries, and understanding
of the business environment. The Corporate Governance Committee may also
consider any other relevant factors that it may from time to time deem
appropriate, including the current composition of the Board, the balance of
management and independent directors, the need for Audit Committee expertise and
the evaluation of all prospective nominees.
A stockholder may also nominate director candidates by complying with the
Company's bylaw provisions regarding Stockholder Proposals. Under the applicable
bylaw a stockholder may nominate candidates for election to the Board of
Directors at an annual meeting only if written notice of such stockholder's
intent to make such nomination is given to the Secretary of the Company not
earlier than 90 days nor later than 60 days in advance of the anniversary of the
date of the immediately preceding annual meeting, or if the date of the annual
meeting occurs more than 30 days before or 60 days after the anniversary of such
immediately preceding annual meeting not later than the close of business on the
later of (a) the sixtieth day prior to such annual meeting and (b) the tenth day
following the date on which a public announcement of the date of such meeting is
first made. Such notice must set forth certain background and other information
specified in the bylaws.
