NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2000
NOTE I - General
-------
In the opinion of SJW Corp.,(the Corporation), the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the
interim periods.
The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements incorporated by
reference in SJW Corp.'s 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K should
be read with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements.
Basic earnings per share and comprehensive income per share are
calculated using income available to common shareholders and
comprehensive income, respectively, divided by the weighted
average number of shares outstanding during the year. SJW Corp.
has no dilutive securities, and accordingly, diluted earnings per
share is not shown.
SJW Corp. and its subsidiaries operate predominantly in one
reportable business segment of providing water utility service to
its customers. Nonutility revenue, assets, and net income do not
have a material effect on the corporation's financial condition
and results of operation.
NOTE II - The Merger
----------
On October 28, 1999, SJW Corp. and American Water Works Company,
Inc. (American Water) entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger (the Merger Agreement). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement,
a wholly owned subsidiary of American Water will merge with and
into SJW Corp.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of the
corporation's common stock outstanding on the closing date would
be converted into the right to receive $128 per share in cash.
SJW Corp. expects that the transaction will be completed within
twelve months, following all required regulatory approvals,and
the termination of the waiting period under federal antitrust
laws. Shareholders of SJW Corp.approved the Merger Agreement at
the Annual Meeting of the Shareholders held on April 20, 2000.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
- -------------------------------
SJW Corp. and its subsidiaries have unsecured lines of credit
available allowing aggregate short-term borrowings of up to
$28,000,000 at rates which approximate the bank's prime or
reference rate. At March 31, 2000, SJW Corp. and its
subsidiaries had available unused short-term bank lines of credit
of $22,900,000.
San Jose Water Company's capital expenditures are incurred in
connection with normal upgrading and expansion of existing
facilities and to comply with environmental regulations. Capital
expenditures for the next five years are likely to increase from
historical levels due to the addition of new, or expansion of
existing, water treatment and source of supply facilities in
order to comply with environmental regulations. Company-financed
net capital expenditures for 2000 are estimated at $24,500,000.
For the five-year period from 2000 to 2004, San Jose Water
Company's net capital expenditures are estimated to aggregate
$120,000,000. Net capital expenditures represent gross capital
expenditures less advances and contributions in aid of
construction.
General:
- -------
SJW Corp. is a holding company that was created in 1985 through
an agreement of merger with San Jose Water Company. SJW Corp.
has operational and financial flexibility and can engage in
nonutility activities.
San Jose Water Company is a public utility in the business of
providing water service to approximately 979,000 people in the
metropolitan San Jose area.
SJW Land Company, a wholly owned subsidiary, was formed in 1985
for the purpose of real estate development. It operates parking
facilities located adjacent to the Corporation's headquarters and
the San Jose Arena. SJW Land Company also owns a commercial
building in San Jose and a 70% limited partnership interest in
444 West Santa Clara Street, L.P.
SJW Corp. also owns 1,099,952 shares of California Water Service
Group.
Results of Operations:
- ---------------------
Overview
- --------
SJW Corp.'s consolidated net income for the first quarter of 2000
was $1,327,000, a decrease of 25% from $1,781,000 in the first
quarter of 2000. Dry weather in the first quarter caused
customers to increase water usage, and as a result, revenue was
higher than 1999 first quarter levels. Despite the higher
revenue, consolidated net income decreased. The decrease in
consolidated net income is due primarily to certain expenses
which were incurred in conjunction with SJW Corp.'s merger with
American Water Works Company, Inc., of which regulatory approval
is pending.
Operating Revenue
- -----------------
The change in consolidated operating revenue from the same period
in 1999 is due to the following factors:
Three months ended
March 31, 2000 vs. 1999
-----------------------
Increase
Utility:
Consumption $ 1,401,000 6.7%
New customers 104,000 0.5
New rates 851,000 4.0
Real estate 114,000 0.5
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
$ 2,470,000 11.7%
=================================================================
Operating Expense
- -----------------
The change in consolidated operating expense, excluding income
taxes, from the same period in 1999 is due to the following:
Three months ended
March 31, 2000 vs. 1999
------------------------
Increase
Operation and maintenance $ 2,478,000 14.8%
Depreciation 398,000 2.4
General taxes 80,000 0.5
- -----------------------------------------------------------------
$ 2,956,000 17.7%
=================================================================
The increase in operation and maintenance expense is due
primarily to increased water production costs, resulting from the
increase in customer water consumption, and the additional merger-
related employee compensation in the first quarter of 2000.
Income tax expense decreased $310,000, or 26%, in comparison to
the first quarter of 1999. The effective rate for each period is
approximately 40%.
Interest expense increased $50,000, or 3%, due to the increase in
borrowing.
Since the water business is highly seasonal in nature, a
comparison of the revenue and expense of the current quarter with
the immediately preceding quarter would not be meaningful. The
first quarter is normally the quarter with the lowest average
usage per metered customer and is not indicative of the results
for the calendar year. The average usage per metered customer in
the first quarter of 2000 increased 10% from the first quarter of
1999.
Water Supply
- ------------
On April 26, 2000, Santa Clara Valley Water District's ten
storage reservoirs were 87% full with 147,711 acre feet of water,
which is above average for the past 20 years. The rainfall in
the winter of 2000 maintained a slightly above average surface
water supply for the Corporation. Surface water is a less costly
source of water and its availability significantly impacts the
results of operation.
Regulatory Affairs
- ------------------
On February 18, 2000, San Jose Water Company filed its
application for a general rate increase effective for the year
2001 through 2003. The Company is requesting a return on equity
of 11.75% for the years 2001 through 2003. Recent rates of
return on common equity authorized by the Commission have been in
the 10% range for water utilities.
