Matrix Service Company

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Matrix Service Company (“Matrix Service”, “we”, “our”, “us”, “its” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, the information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described herein that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.

The accompanying condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2011, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended. The Company’s business is cyclical due to the scope and timing of projects released by its customer base. Planned maintenance projects at customer facilities are typically scheduled in the spring and the fall when the demand for energy is lower. As a result, quarterly operating results in the Repair and Maintenance Services segment can fluctuate materially. The Construction Services segment typically has a lower level of operating activity during the winter months and early in the calendar year because many of our customers’ capital budgets have been spent and new capital budgets have not been finalized. Our business can also be affected by seasonal weather conditions including hurricanes, snowstorms, abnormally low or high temperatures or other inclement weather, which can result in reduced activities. Accordingly, results for any interim period may not necessarily be indicative of future operating results.

Note 2 – Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of stockholders’ equity. ASU 2011-05 requires that comprehensive income be reported in either a single contiguous statement of comprehensive income which contains two sections, net income and other comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. This new guidance is to be applied retrospectively. The provisions of ASU 2011-05 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011; therefore, the Company will adopt ASU 2011-05 in the third quarter of fiscal 2012. We do not believe ASU 2011-05 will impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations, as it only requires a change in the format of the current presentation.

Accounting Standards Update 2011-09, Disclosures about an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan

In September 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-09, Disclosures about an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan (“ASU 2011-09”). ASU 2011-09 requires employers to make additional separate disclosures for multiemployer pension and other postretirement benefit plans. Additional disclosures include, but are not limited to:

•

the plans in which an employer participates;

•

the level of participation, including the employer’s contributions to significant plans;

•

the financial health of significant plans; and

•

the nature of the employer’s commitment to the plans.

-7-

Matrix Service Company

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

ASU 2011-09 does not change the current recognition and measurement guidance that requires an employer to recognize its required contribution as a pension or other postretirement benefit cost for the period and to recognize a liability for any contributions due at the reporting date. ASU 2011-09 also does not change the recognition, measurement or disclosure requirements for obligations related to an actual or potential withdrawal from a multiemployer plan. These obligations continue to be accounted for under ASC-450, Contingencies. Under ASC 450, if an obligation due to withdrawal from a multiemployer plan is probable and reasonably estimable, the recognition of a liability and disclosure of the contingency is required. If an obligation due to withdrawal from a multiemployer plan is reasonably possible, disclosure of the contingency is required.

ASU 2011-09 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently gathering the necessary information and will include the required disclosures in its annual report beginning with the annual report for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012. We do not believe ASU 2011-09 will impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations, as it is only requiring additional disclosures regarding the Company’s participation in multiemployer plans.

Note 3 – Uncompleted Contracts

Contract terms of the Company’s construction contracts generally provide for progress billings based on project milestones. The excess of costs incurred and estimated earnings over amounts billed on uncompleted contracts is reported as a current asset. The excess of amounts billed over costs incurred and estimated earnings recognized on uncompleted contracts is reported as a current liability. Gross and net amounts on uncompleted contracts are as follows:


	December 31, 2011		June 30, 2011
	(in thousands)
Costs incurred and estimated earnings recognized on uncompleted contracts	$	708,504	$	583,334
Billings on uncompleted contracts		683,790		578,763

	$	24,714	$	4,571


Presented as:
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts	$	56,530	$	40,056
Billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings		31,816		35,485

	$	24,714	$	4,571

Progress billings in accounts receivable at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 included retentions to be collected within one year of $15.3 million and $13.9 million, respectively. Contract retentions collectible beyond one year totaled $3.1 million at December 31, 2011 and $0.9 million at June 30, 2011.

Note 5 – Debt

On November 7, 2011, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Lender and Issuing Bank, and the other Lenders party thereto, which replaces the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 30, 2006, as amended. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility of $125.0 million, and may be used for working capital, issuance of letters of credit and other lawful corporate purposes.

The Credit Agreement includes the following covenants and borrowing limitations:

•

We are required to maintain a Senior Leverage Ratio, as defined in the agreement, of less than 2.50 to 1.00.

•

We are required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined in the agreement, greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00.

•

Asset dispositions (other than inventory and obsolete or unneeded equipment disposed of in the ordinary course of business) are limited to $15.0 million per 12-month period.

•

Amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear interest at LIBOR or an Alternate Base Rate, plus in each case, an additional margin based on the Senior Leverage Ratio. The Credit Agreement includes additional margin ranges on Alternate Base Rate loans between 0.75% and 1.5% and between 1.75% and 2.5% on LIBOR-based loans.

•

The Credit Agreement also permits us to borrow in Canadian dollars with a sublimit of U.S. $15.0 million. Amounts borrowed in Canadian dollars will bear interest either at the “CDOR Rate,” plus an additional margin based on the Senior Leverage Ratio ranging from 1.75% to 2.5%, or at the “Canadian Prime Rate,” plus an additional margin based on the Senior Leverage Ratio ranging from 2.25% to 3.0%. The CDOR Rate is equal to the sum of the annual rate of interest which is the rate determined as being the arithmetic average of the quotations of all institutions listed in respect of the relevant CDOR interest period for Canadian Dollar denominated bankers’ acceptances, plus 0.1%. The Canadian Prime Rate is equal to the greater of (i) the rate of interest per annum most recently announced or established by JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,

Toronto Branch as its reference rate in effect on such day for determining interest rates for Canadian Dollar denominated commercial loans in Canada and commonly known as the “prime rate” and (ii) the CDOR Rate plus 1.0%.

•

The Unused Credit Facility Fee is between 0.30% and 0.45% based on the Senior Leverage Ratio.

As noted previously, the Credit Agreement includes a Senior Leverage Ratio covenant which provides that Consolidated Funded Indebtedness may not exceed 2.5 times Consolidated EBITDA, as defined in the agreement, over the previous four quarters. For the four quarters ended December 31, 2011, Consolidated EBITDA was $49.4 million. Accordingly, at December 31, 2011, Consolidated Funded Indebtedness in excess of $123.5 million would have violated the Senior Leverage Ratio covenant.

Availability under the senior credit facility was as follows:


	December 31, 2011		June 30, 2011
	(In thousands)
Senior credit facility	$	125,000	$	75,000

Letters of credit issued		7,553		7,484

Availability under the senior credit facility	$	115,972	$	67,516

Note 6 – Income Taxes

The Company complies with ASC 740, “Income Taxes”. Deferred income taxes are computed using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial and tax basis of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. Valuation allowances are established against deferred tax assets to the extent management believes that it is not probable that the assets will be recovered.

The Company provides for income taxes regardless of whether it has received a tax assessment. Taxes are provided when it is considered probable that additional taxes will be due in excess of amounts included in the tax return. The Company continually reviews exposure to additional income taxes due, and as further information is known or events occur, adjustments may be recorded.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance Reserves

The Company maintains insurance coverage for various aspects of its operations. However, exposure to potential losses is retained through the use of deductibles, coverage limits and self-insured retentions. As of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company recorded insurance reserves totaling $7.3 million and $7.5 million, respectively. These amounts represent our best estimate of our ultimate obligations for asserted claims, insurance premium obligations and claims incurred but not yet reported.

Typically our contracts require us to indemnify our customers for injury, damage or loss arising from the performance of our services and provide warranties for materials and workmanship. The Company may also be required to name the customer as an additional insured up to the limits of insurance available, or we may be required to purchase insurance policies or surety bonds for specific customers or provide letters of credit in lieu of bonds to satisfy performance and financial guarantees on some projects. Matrix Service maintains a performance and payment bonding line sufficient to support the business. The

Company generally requires its subcontractors to indemnify the Company and the Company’s customer and name the Company as an additional insured for activities arising out of the subcontractors’ work. We also require certain subcontractors to provide additional insurance policies, including surety bonds in favor of the Company, to secure the subcontractors’ work or as required by the subcontract.

There can be no assurance that our insurance and the additional insurance coverage provided by our subcontractors will fully protect us against a valid claim or loss under the contracts with our customers.

Unapproved Change Orders and Claims

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenues for claims related to unapproved change orders of $5.6 million and $5.1 million at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. Generally, collection of amounts related to claims on unapproved change orders is expected within twelve months. However, customers may not pay these amounts until final resolution of related claims, and accordingly, collection of these amounts may extend beyond one year.

Acquired Claims Receivable

The Company continues to pursue collection of certain claim receivables acquired in connection with the purchase of S.M. Electric Company, Inc. in February 2009. In September 2011, we received $1.5 million as settlement for a portion of these claims. The settlement amount approximated the book value of the receivable; therefore, no gain or loss was recognized. The recorded value at December 31, 2011 of $0.7 million represents the Company’s best estimate of the remaining amount to be collected. The remaining claim receivable of $0.7 million and related trade receivables totaling $2.8 million will not be collected until the claim is resolved and will require mediation or litigation for successful recovery. The ultimate amount realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts resulting in a material adjustment to future earnings.

Other

The Company and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various other legal actions. It is the opinion of management that none of the known legal actions will have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies from those reported in our fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. For more information on our critical accounting policies, see Part II, Item 7 of our fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following section provides certain information with respect to our critical accounting estimates as of the close of our most recent quarterly period.

Unapproved Change Orders and Claims

Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenues for claims related to unapproved change orders of $5.6 million and $5.1 million at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, respectively. The amounts ultimately realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts resulting in a material adjustment to future earnings.

Acquired Claims Receivable

Insurance Reserves

We maintain insurance coverage for various aspects of our operations. However, we retain exposure to potential losses through the use of deductibles, coverage limits and self-insured retentions. As of December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011, the Company recorded insurance reserves totaling $7.3 million and $7.5 million, respectively. These amounts represent our best estimate of our ultimate obligations for asserted claims, insurance premium obligations and claims incurred but not yet reported. We establish reserves for claims using a combination of actuarially determined estimates and case-by-case evaluations of the underlying claim data and update our evaluations as further information becomes known. Judgments and assumptions, including the assumed losses for claims incurred but not reported, are inherent in our reserve accruals; as a result, changes in assumptions or claims experience could result in changes to these estimates in the future. If actual results of claim settlements are different than the amounts estimated, we may be exposed to gains and losses that could be significant.

Goodwill

The Company has three significant reporting units with goodwill representing 55%, 15% and 14% of the total goodwill balance. Our most recent annual goodwill impairment test, performed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, indicated that the fair value of these reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values by 26%, 94% and 82%, respectively. Based on the excess of estimated fair value over carrying value for all our reporting units and the absence of any indicators of impairment at December 31, 2011, the Company does not currently anticipate recording a goodwill impairment charge.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting Standards Update 2011-05, Comprehensive Income: Presentation of Comprehensive Income

Accounting Standards Update 2011-09, Disclosures about an Employer’s Participation in a Multiemployer Plan

•

The plans in which an employer participates;

•

the level of participation, including the employer’s contributions to significant plans;

•

the financial health of significant plans; and

•

the nature of the employer’s commitment to the plans.

ASU 2011-09 does not change the current recognition and measurement guidance that requires an employer to recognize its required contribution as a pension or other postretirement benefit cost for the period and to recognize a liability for any contributions due at the reporting date. ASU 2011-09 also does not change the recognition, measurement or disclosure requirements for obligations related to an actual or potential withdrawal from a mulltiemployer plan. These obligations continue to be accounted for under ASC-450, Contingencies. Under ASC 450, if an obligation due to withdrawal from a multiemployer plan is probable and reasonably estimable, the recognition of a liability and disclosure of the contingency is required. If an obligation due to withdrawal from a multiemployer plan is reasonably possible, disclosure of the contingency is required.

ASU 2011-09 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently gathering the necessary information and will include the required disclosures in its annual report for the twelve months ended June 30, 2012. We do not believe ASU 2011-09 will impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations, as it is only requiring additional disclosures regarding the Company’s participation in multiemployer plans.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The Company has two reportable segments, Construction Services and Repair and Maintenance Services. The majority of the work for both segments is performed in the United States with 7.9% of revenues generated in Canada during the first six months of fiscal 2012 compared to 5.2% in the same period a year earlier.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2010

Consolidated

Consolidated revenues were $201.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $25.7 million, or 14.7%, from consolidated revenues of $175.3 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The increase in consolidated revenues was a result of an increase of $13.3 million in Construction Services revenues and an increase of $12.4 million in Repair and Maintenance Services revenues.

Consolidated gross profit increased from $19.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2010 to $23.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011. The increase of $3.3 million, or 16.7%, was primarily due to higher revenues. Gross margins increased to 11.5% in the three months ended December 31, 2011 from 11.3% in the same period a year earlier.

Consolidated SG&A expenses were $11.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $11.1 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $0.8 million, or 7.2%, was primarily related to higher operating costs in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 due to increased business volumes and strategic initiatives, partially offset by lower legal costs. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 5.9% in the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to 6.4% in the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Net interest expense was $0.2 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010.

Other income in the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively, and related primarily to foreign currency transaction gains.

The effective tax rate was 38.0% for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Construction Services

Revenues for the Construction Services segment were $118.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared with $105.6 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $13.3 million, or 12.6%, was due to higher Downstream Petroleum revenues which increased to $33.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $22.6 million in the same period a year earlier and higher Aboveground Storage Tank revenues which increased to $55.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $49.5 million in the same period a year earlier. This increase was partially offset by lower Electrical and Instrumentation revenues, which decreased to $24.8 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012, compared to $27.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011 and lower Specialty revenues, which decreased to $5.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $6.0 million in the same period a year earlier.

Gross profit increased to $13.6 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $12.8 million in the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase of $0.8 million, or 6.3%, was due to higher revenues, partially offset by the effect of lower gross margins which decreased to 11.4% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 12.1% in the same period a year earlier.

Repair and Maintenance Services

Revenues for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment were $82.1 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared with $69.7 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $12.4 million, or 17.8%, was due to higher Aboveground Storage Tank revenues, which increased to

$28.4 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to $21.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2011, higher Downstream Petroleum revenues, which increased to $31.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $28.4 million in the same period a year earlier, and higher Electrical and Instrumentation revenues, which increased to $22.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $19.4 million in the same period a year earlier.

Gross profit increased to $9.5 million in the three months ended December 31, 2011 from $7.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase of $2.5 million, or 35.7%, was due to higher revenues combined with higher gross margins which increased to 11.6% in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 compared to 10.0% in the same period a year earlier. The increase in gross margins was primarily due to higher levels of storm restoration work in the current fiscal year.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2011 Compared to the Six Months Ended December 31, 2010

Consolidated

Consolidated revenues were $370.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $43.2 million, or 13.2%, from consolidated revenues of $327.1 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase in consolidated revenues was a result of increases of $27.8 million in Repair and Maintenance Services revenues and $15.4 million in Construction Services revenues.

Consolidated gross profit increased from $35.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2010 to $41.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011. The increase of $5.7 million, or 16.1%, was primarily due to higher revenues and slightly higher gross margins which increased to 11.1% in the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to 10.8% in the same period a year earlier.

Consolidated SG&A expenses were $23.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $21.7 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $1.7 million, or 7.8%, was primarily due to higher operating costs in fiscal 2012 related to increased business volumes, strategic initiatives and a non-routine stock compensation charge, partially offset by lower legal costs as fiscal 2011 included costs related to a fraud investigation discussed in our previous filings. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 6.3% in the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to 6.6% in the same period in the prior fiscal year.

Net interest expense was $0.4 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011 and $0.3 million in the same period a year earlier.

Other expense in the six months ended December 31, 2011 was $0.4 million and related primarily to foreign currency transaction losses. The six months ended December 31, 2010 had other income of $0.1 million, which related primarily to foreign currency transaction gains.

The effective tax rate was 38.0% for the six months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Construction Services

Revenues for the Construction Services segment were $218.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared with $203.1 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $15.4 million, or 7.6%, was due to higher Aboveground Storage Tank revenues which increased to $113.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $90.3 million in the six months ended December 31, 2010 and higher Downstream Petroleum revenues which increased to $52.9 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $43.6 million in the same period a year earlier, partially offset by lower Electrical and Instrumentation revenues, which were $40.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $57.3 million in the same period a year earlier. Specialty revenues were unchanged at $11.9 million.

Gross profit increased to $24.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $24.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase of $0.3 million, or 1.2%, was due to higher revenues, partially offset by the effect of lower gross margins which decreased to 11.2% in the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to 11.9% in the same period a year earlier.

-20-

Repair and Maintenance Services

Revenues for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment were $151.8 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011, compared with $124.0 million in the same period a year earlier. The increase of $27.8 million, or 22.4%, was due to higher Aboveground Storage Tank revenues, which increased to $53.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $43.1 million in the six months ended December 31, 2010, higher Downstream Petroleum revenues, which increased to $63.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to $50.8 million in the same period a year earlier, and higher Electrical and Instrumentation revenues which increased to $35.6 million in the current fiscal year compared to $30.1 million in the same period a year earlier.

Gross profit increased to $16.7 million in the six months ended December 31, 2011 from $11.3 million in the six months ended December 31, 2010. The increase of $5.4 million, or 47.8%, was due to higher revenues combined with higher gross margins which increased to 11.0% in the six months ended December 31, 2011 compared to 9.1% in the same period a year earlier. The increase in gross margins was primarily due to higher levels of storm restoration work in the current fiscal year.

Backlog

We define backlog as the total dollar amount of revenues that we expect to recognize as a result of performing work that has been awarded to us through a signed contract that we consider firm. The following contract types are considered firm:

•

fixed-price arrangements;

•

minimum customer commitments on cost plus arrangements; and

•

certain time and material contracts in which the estimated contract value is firm or can be estimated with a reasonable amount of certainty in both timing and amounts.

For long-term maintenance contracts we include only the amounts that we expect to recognize into revenue over the next 12 months. For all other arrangements, we calculate backlog as the estimated contract amount less the revenue recognized as of the reporting date.

At December 31, 2011 the Construction Services segment had a backlog of $264.6 million, as compared to a backlog of $225.7 million as of June 30, 2011. The increase of $38.9 million is due to increases in Electrical and Instrumentation of $21.7 million, Aboveground Storage Tank of $12.8 million, Downstream Petroleum of $2.4 million and Specialty of $2.0 million. The backlog at December 31, 2011 and June 30, 2011 for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment was $169.0 million and $179.4 million, respectively. The decrease of $10.4 million is due to the decreases in Aboveground Storage Tank of $3.9 million, Electrical and Instrumentation of $3.6 million and Downstream Petroleum of $2.9 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

EBITDA is a supplemental, non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We have presented EBITDA because it is used by the financial community as a method of measuring our performance and of evaluating the market value of companies considered to be in similar businesses. We believe that the line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income entitled “Net income” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA. Since EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net earnings as an indicator of operating performance. EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. As EBITDA excludes certain financial information compared with net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the type of events and transactions that are excluded. Our non-GAAP performance measure, EBITDA, has certain material limitations as follows:

•

It does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money to finance our operations, pay commitment fees to maintain our Credit Facility, and incur fees to issue letters of credit under the Credit Facility, interest expense is a necessary and ongoing part of our costs and has assisted us in generating revenue. Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations.

•

It does not include income taxes. Because the payment of income taxes is a necessary and ongoing part of our operations, any measure that excludes income taxes has material limitations.

•

It does not include depreciation or amortization expense. Because we use capital and intangible assets to generate revenue, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our cost structure. Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation or amortization expense has material limitations.

A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income follows:

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Overview

We define liquidity as the ongoing ability to pay our liabilities as they become due, fund business operations and meet all monetary contractual obligations. Our primary sources of liquidity for the six months ended December 31, 2011 was cash generated from operations and cash on hand at the beginning of the year. Cash on hand at December 31, 2011 totaled $37.4 million and availability under the senior revolving credit facility totaled $116.0 million resulting in total liquidity at December 31, 2011 of $153.4 million. We expect to fund our operations for the next twelve months through the use of cash generated from operations and existing cash balances. However, there can be no assurance that we will achieve our forecasted cash flow, which could result in borrowings under our credit facility.

Factors that routinely impact our short-term liquidity and that may impact our long-term liquidity include, but are not limited to:

•

Changes in working capital

•

Contract terms that determine the timing of billings to customers and the collection of those billings

•

Some cost plus and fixed price customer contracts are billed based on milestones which may require us to incur significant expenditures prior to collections from our customers.

•

Time and material contracts are normally billed in arrears. Therefore, we are routinely required to carry these costs until they can be billed and collected.

•

Some of our large construction projects may require significant retentions or security in the form of letters of credit.

•

Capital expenditures

Other factors that may impact both short and long-term liquidity include:

•

Acquisitions of new businesses

•

Strategic investments in new operations

•

Purchases of shares under our stock buyback program

•

Contract disputes or collection issues

•

Capacity constraints under our senior revolving credit facility and remaining in compliance with all covenants contained in the credit agreement

We have an effective shelf registration statement on file with the SEC under which we may issue, from time to time, up to $400 million of senior debt securities, subordinated debt securities, common stock, preferred stock and warrants. This shelf gives us additional flexibility, when capital market conditions are favorable, to grow our businesses, finance acquisitions or to optimize our balance sheet in order to improve or maintain our financial flexibility. We may also elect to issue term debt or increase the amount of our revolving credit facility. We will continue to evaluate our working capital requirements and other factors to maintain sufficient liquidity.

Cash Flow in the Six Months Ended December 31, 2011

Cash Flows Used by Operating Activities

Operating activities used $5.8 million of cash in the six months ended December 31, 2011 due to increased business activity resulting in higher working capital balances, largely offset by cash generated from profitable operating results. The cash effect of significant changes in working capital include the following:

•

The net change in the combined balances of costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings caused an increase in operating assets and liabilities and a decrease to cash of $20.1 million in the first six months of fiscal 2012. This change was primarily attributable to the combination of less favorable billing terms in the Aboveground Storage Tank and a higher volume of time and material work in the Electrical and Instrumentation market.

-24-

•

Accounts receivable increased by $12.2 million. The accounts receivable increase is due to a higher level of business. The rate of cash collections and the overall aging of our accounts receivable remained within historical norms.

•

Accounts payable increased by $12.6 million. The increase was primarily due to the increase in business activity and timing of material and subcontract expenditures in the first six months of fiscal 2012.

•

Accrued expenses decreased by $2.1 million. The decrease was primarily due to the payment of fiscal 2011 employee incentives, partially offset by the timing of income tax payments.

Cash Flows Used by Investing Activities

Investing activities used $6.6 million of cash in the six months ended December 31, 2011 due to capital expenditures of $6.8 million, partially offset by proceeds from asset dispositions of $0.2 million. Capital expenditures included $4.3 million for the purchase of construction equipment, $1.4 million for transportation equipment, $1.0 million for office equipment and software and $0.1 million for land and buildings.

Cash Flows Used by Financing Activities

Financing activities used $9.2 million of cash in the six months ended December 31, 2011 primarily due to the purchase of 886,503 shares of common stock under the Company’s stock buyback program in the amount of $8.1 million and the payment of fees relating to the expansion of our credit facility of $0.6 million.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility

On November 7, 2011, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Lender and Issuing Bank, and the other Lenders party thereto, which replaces the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of November 30, 2006, as previously amended. The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility of $125.0 million, which replaces the $75.0 million senior revolving credit facility under the Prior Credit Agreement. The New Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, issuance of letters of credit and other lawful corporate purposes.

The Credit Agreement includes the following covenants and borrowing limitations:

•

We are required to maintain a Senior Leverage Ratio, as defined in the agreement, of less than 2.50 to 1.00.

•

We will be required to maintain a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio, as defined in the agreement, greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00.

•

Asset dispositions (other than inventory and obsolete or unneeded equipment disposed of in the ordinary course of business) are limited to $15.0 million per 12-month period.

•

Amounts borrowed under the credit facility bear interest at LIBOR or an Alternate Base Rate, plus in each case, an additional margin based on the Senior Leverage Ratio. The New Credit Agreement includes additional margin ranges on Alternate Base Rate loans between 0.75% and 1.5% and between 1.75% and 2.5% on LIBOR-based loans.

-25-

•

The Unused Credit Facility Fee is between 0.30% and 0.45% based on the Senior Leverage Ratio.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock, and the terms of our Credit Agreement limit the amount of cash dividends we can pay. Under our Credit Agreement, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital stock during any fiscal year up to an amount which, when added to all other dividends paid during such fiscal year, does not exceed 50% of our cumulative net income for such fiscal year to such date. While we currently do not intend to pay cash dividends, any future dividend payments will depend on our financial condition, capital requirements and earnings as well as other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Stock Repurchase Program and Treasury Shares

Treasury Shares

On February 4, 2009, our Board of Directors authorized a stock buyback program that allows the Company to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of common stock provided that such purchases do not exceed $25.0 million in any calendar year commencing in calendar year 2009 and continuing through calendar year 2012. The Company purchased 886,503 shares under this stock buyback program at an average price of $9.17 during the first six months of fiscal 2012. These shares were returned to the Company’s pool of treasury shares. We may purchase up to an additional 2,113,497 shares through the end of calendar year 2012 if sufficient liquidity exists and we believe that it is in the best interest of the stockholders.

In addition to the stock buyback program, the Company may withhold shares of common stock to satisfy the tax withholding obligations upon vesting of an employee’s deferred shares. Matrix Service withheld 45,143 shares in the six months ended December 31, 2011 to satisfy these obligations. These shares were returned to the Company’s pool of treasury shares.

The Company has 2,169,927 treasury shares as of December 31, 2011 and intends to utilize these treasury shares solely in connection with equity awards under the Company’s stock incentive plans.

Outlook

Electrical infrastructure is a key focus area for us. High voltage power, substations, transmission and distribution in the northeast corridor along with targeted expansion in the Midwest, West Coast and Eastern Canada represent high growth areas for our business. In addition, our ability to offer storm restoration services on a broader geographic basis will be integral to our growth in this sector. Aging infrastructure, interconnect needs, automation upgrades and general maintenance presents a long-term opportunity for our business. We expect that retirement of certain coal fired generating stations and heightened concerns associated with nuclear power, combined with abundant shale gas resources will create an expansion of the domestic gas powered electric generation fleet. We expect that opportunities associated with these projects will provide a significant source of revenue growth.

Our oil, gas and chemical business consisting of refinery turnaround, maintenance and repair, and construction projects stemming from shale energy development will be an area of continued expansion. We also expect to expand our market presence in industrial cleaning through strategic investments over the next three to five years. Further we expect continued organic growth in the balance of this business by leveraging our current operations and services.

The North American storage business will continue to be a core element of our business. All lines in this business, including AST new tank construction, maintenance and repair, as well as specialty vessels are anticipated to provide consistent year over year growth with higher expected growth in our Canadian operations. Recently, our Western Canada office, which operates in the Alberta Oil Sands Region, was awarded a $34 million tank package which strengthens our market position in this region. While our market position in Cushing continues to be very strong, we expect that over 50% of our current and future tank business will be located in other regions across North America.

Our industrial businesses including mining and metals, material handling and other industrial project services represent fairly new business lines within our portfolio. The mining and metals market throughout the Western United States and Canada is expected to provide a growing portion of our portfolio over the long term. Our material handling business acquired in May 2011 is beginning to create opportunities for the Company in this market.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Form 10-Q which address activities, events or developments which we expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. The words “believes,” “intends,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “estimates,” “predicts” and similar expressions are also intended to identify forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements include, among others, such things as:

•

amounts and nature of future revenues and margins from our Construction Services and Repair and Maintenance Services segments;

•

the likely impact of new or existing regulations or market forces on the demand for our services;

•

expansion and other development trends of the industries we serve;

•

our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations or to raise cash in order to meet our short and long-term capital requirements; and

•

our ability to comply with the covenants in our credit agreement.

These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses we made in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate. However, whether actual results and developments will conform to our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, including:

•

the risk factors discussed in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011 and listed from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

•

the inherently uncertain outcome of current and future litigation;

•

the adequacy of our reserves for contingencies;

•

economic, market or business conditions in general and in the oil, gas and power industries in particular;

•

changes in laws or regulations; and

•

other factors, many of which are beyond our control.

Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this Form 10-Q are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can be no assurance that the actual results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effects on us or our business operations. We assume no obligation to update publicly, except as required by law, any such forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes in market risk faced by us from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For more information on market risk, see Part II, Item 7A in our fiscal 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rule 13a-15(e).

The disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors or fraud. The design of our internal control system takes into account the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefits of controls must be weighed against the costs. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the acts of key individuals, collusion or management override.

We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2011. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level at December 31, 2011.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2011.
