Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to “Matrix”, the “Company” or to “we”, “our”, and “us”, are to Matrix Service Company and its subsidiaries including The Hake Group of Companies since the date of acquisition on March 7, 2003.

MATERIAL ACQUISITION

On March 7, 2003, we acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Hake Group, Inc. (“Hake”) from its sole shareholder, Skyview Partners LLC, and all of the issued and outstanding minority interests in the majority owned subsidiaries of Hake Group, Inc. As a result of the acquisition, we acquired 100% of the ownership interests in Hake and its subsidiaries, Bish Investments, Inc., Bogan, Inc., Frank W. Hake, Inc., Hover Systems, Inc., I&S, Inc., I&S Joint Venture, LLC, McBish Management, Inc., Mechanical Construction, Inc., Mid-Atlantic Construction, Inc., and Talbot Realty, Inc. Also included in the purchase was a 50% membership interest in Ragner Hake, LLC. Unless the context otherwise requires, all references herein to “Hake” or to “The Hake Group of Companies” refers to Hake and its subsidiaries.

Hake is headquartered in Eddystone, Pennsylvania, and is an industrial services contractor providing services primarily to the petroleum and power industries located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Individual and integrated bundled services are provided to customers as follows:

Millwrighting, Specialized Heavy Hauling and Rigging

BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Prior to the acquisition of Hake, Matrix was organized into three reportable segments – Aboveground Storage Tank Services, Plant Services and Construction Services. As a result of the Hake acquisition, the structure of the Company’s internal organization changed in a manner that caused the Company’s reportable segments to change. Matrix now has two reportable segments – Construction Services and Repair & Maintenance Services. The corresponding items of segment information for earlier periods have been restated.

See Note 13 – Segment Information in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for segment and geographic information.

Matrix also provides bundled services where its two business segments combine to provide a combination of services to their customers. Customers use these services to expand their operation, improve operating efficiencies, and to comply with stringent environmental and safety regulations.

CONSTRUCTION SERVICES

We provide turnkey and specialty construction services, primarily to the petroleum, power, petrochemical, terminal, pipeline, manufacturing, and industrial gas industries. These services include civil/structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation, millwrighting, steel fabrication and erection, specialized heavy hauling and rigging, and boiler work. In addition, we offer engineering, fabrication, and construction of aboveground storage tanks (AST).

Matrix builds quality projects safely under demanding construction schedules, with an emphasis on exceeding our customers’ expectations. Depending on our customer’s requirements and project location, we can provide construction services on a union or merit shop basis.

We have fabrication facilities located on the East Coast, in the Midwest region of the U. S., and on the West Coast to better serve our customers. Our 160,000 sq. ft. Mid-Continent facility was recently expanded and is the newest steel plate fabrication facility in the industry. Our West Coast fabrication plant was recently built thereby expanding our capabilities and physical presence on the West Coast. We provide pre-fabricated pipe spools and piping for both small and large bore piping, including alloy materials. Because we control the scheduling and sequencing of piping fabrication systems, we can deliver materials on a just-in-time basis, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of our mechanical systems construction as well as the inventory control needs of our customers.

As part of our tank services, we provide aluminum floating roofs, both full contact and pontoon and skin types, floating roof seal systems, and oil/water cover systems using our Allentech Division’s specialized fabrication facility.

Construction Services performs small specialty work or bundled services on large, complex, and schedule sensitive projects. From small to large projects, we strive to provide innovative thinking, well conceived planning, and efficient and effective solutions based on many years of proven experience.

Construction Services Market Overview

Matrix provides construction to refineries, petrochemical plants, terminals, power plants, electrical substations, pipeline facilities, industrial gas facilities, and other large industrial complexes. We have many long-term relationships with our customers and much of our work is repeat business with these customers.

Construction for refinery projects offers the most compelling near term opportunities. The EPA has mandated that refiners who produce products for sale in the United States meet strict new requirements on the levels of sulfur in these products. By January 1, 2006, refiners must be able to produce gasoline that does not exceed an annual average sulfur content of 30 parts per million (ppm). By June 1, 2006, refiners must also be able to produce on-road diesel fuel that does not exceed 15-ppm annual average sulfur content. In addition, refiners must produce low sulfur diesel products for off-road vehicles by 2010. These mandates are estimated to require U.S. refiners to spend approximately $16 billion by 2006 for refinery upgrades. Currently about 40% of U.S. refiners have yet to make the expenditures at their refineries necessary to meet these new low sulfur requirements. We believe that the majority of the expenditures by our customers at their refineries over the next three years will be made in order to meet these new low sulfur standards.

The current U.S. refining industry utilization rate is about 90% to 95%. This rate varies by region as well as from variations in the short-term supply and demand in the market. If even a small percentage of refiners who currently have no clean fuels compliance plans decide to exit the refinery market, the downstream market for refinery products could suffer from supply shortages thereby resulting in expenditures for new plants or for expansion of existing facilities. We believe the consumer demand will also increase in the near future which will put additional pressure on refineries to supply product to meet higher demand. These indicators point to a continual need for successful refiners to add capacity.

In the Electric Power industry, environmental upgrades to existing plants provide the most immediate area of opportunity for potential construction revenue. In 1998, the EPA mandated that 22 states implement plans to reduce NOx emissions in fossil fuel power plants. All of these facilities are located in the Eastern half of the United States. The technology to accomplish this involves the installation of Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) units at affected plants totaling more than 50,000 MW of installed power. In addition, the U.S. Congress is considering a “Clear Skies” initiative that is aimed at reducing SOx emissions from coal fired power plants.

-2-

This initiative is expected to be implemented in 2004 and involves the installation of Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) units at affected plants totaling more than 80,000 MW of installed power. We believe that these projects have the potential to cause the industry to expend between $10 to $30 million for each installation.

Matrix also has positioned itself for other emerging markets primarily focusing on renewable energy programs. One such market is ethanol production facilities and modification of infrastructure delivery systems. Until recently, most ethanol facilities were being developed in the Midwest corn-belt region but recent state and federal incentives have enticed developers to look at constructing 40 to 50 million gallon-per-year facilities in the West and Northeast. Our turnkey capabilities and tank fabrication expertise positions us well for this developing market. Other renewable energy projects that present an immediate opportunity for our construction services are wind power facilities and pump storage hydroelectric plants. These are being built throughout the U. S. in both our merit shop and union areas.

Construction Services Offerings and Products

We provide our customers with a comprehensive range of construction services and products as outlined below.

Turnkey Construction

From design coordination through project start-up and commissioning, Matrix provides expert, site-specific teams to support projects on a turnkey basis. We emphasize lowering costs and offer a competitive advantage because of our turnkey experience.

-3-

High Pressure Vessel, Boiler and Heater Erection and Code Welding

Matrix erects new boilers as well as replacement boilers and can supply R, PP, S and U stamps for all work requiring code stamp certification. We specialize in boiler tube repair, weld overlay, and tube replacement usually during critical path or emergency situations. Our welding expertise includes all types of specialty, exotic and alloy welding. We can also provide vessel and pipe fabrication and modular skid construction for special projects. Our boiler experts also provide condenser and heat exchanger replacements in nuclear plants nationwide.

Retrofits, Expansions and Modernizations

Our experience and reputation were built upon a list of successful retrofit and expansion projects, including extensive work in existing “live” units.

Plant Dismantle and Equipment Relocation Services

Matrix has the experience and talent to provide value engineering, plant development, scheduling, demolition, removal, coordination, transportation, and installation for the relocation of existing plants and equipment.

Full Service Distribution, Terminal and Bulk Storage Services

Matrix’s extensive capabilities allow it to provide a full range of planning, design, construction, and management services for all types of terminals and bulk storage for aviation, rail, transit, and marine facilities.

Aboveground Storage Tank Construction (AST)

Matrix designs, fabricates, and constructs new ASTs to both petroleum and industrial standards and customer specifications. Clients require new tanks in conjunction with expansion plans, replacement of old or damaged tanks, storage for additional product lines, and to meet environmental requirements and changes in population. The Company also designs, fabricates, and field erects new refrigerated and cryogenic liquefied gas storage tanks for the storage of ammonia, butane, carbon dioxide, ethane, methane, argon, nitrogen, oxygen, propane, liquid natural gas, and other products. These tanks are utilized by the chemical, petrochemical, and industrial gas industries.

Floating Roof and Seal Systems

Many ASTs are equipped with a floating roof and seal systems. The floating roof is required by environmental regulations to minimize vapor emissions and reduce fire hazard. A floating roof also prevents loss of stored petroleum products. The seal spans the gap between the rim of the floating roof and the tank wall. The seal prevents vapor emissions from an AST by creating a tight seal around the perimeter of the roof while still allowing movement of the roof and seal upward and downward with the level of stored product. In addition, our seal systems prevent substantially all rainwater from entering the product on open top floating roof tanks. Our seals are manufactured from a variety of materials designed for compatibility with specific petroleum products. All of the seals installed by us may be installed while the tank remains in service, which reduces the tank owners’ downtime, maintenance, cleaning, and disposal costs.

Secondary Containment Systems

Matrix constructs a variety of secondary containment systems under or around ASTs according to its own design or the design provided by its customers. Secondary leak detection systems allow tank owners to detect leaks in the tanks at an early stage before groundwater contamination has occurred. In addition, the systems help to contain leakage until the tank can be repaired. The most common type of secondary containment system constructed involves installing a liner of high-density polyethylene, reinforced polyurethane, or a layer of impervious clay under the steel tank bottom. The space between the liner and the new bottom is then filled with a layer of concrete or sand. A cathodic protection system may be installed between the liner and the new bottom to help control corrosion. Leak detection ports are installed between the liner and steel bottom to allow for visual inspection while the tank is in service. The Company believes that during the 1990’s a substantial number of AST owners have installed, and will continue to install, secondary containment systems.

Fabrication

Matrix operates five fabrication facilities located in Oklahoma, California, and Pennsylvania. At the Tulsa Port of Catoosa, Oklahoma, we own and operate a fabrication facility located on 50 acres of leased land. This facility has the capacity to fabricate new tanks, new tank components and all maintenance, retrofit, and repair parts including fixed roofs, floating roofs, seal assemblies, shell plate, and tank appurtenances. The Tulsa Port of Catoosa fabrication facility also provides customized steel plate and pipe fabrication directly to customers for their erection. This facility is qualified to perform services on equipment that requires American Society of Mechanical Engineer Code Stamps (“ASME codes”). This fabrication includes ASME pressure vessels, stacks, ducting, heat exchangers, flare stacks, and igniter tips. Fabrication includes carbon steels, stainless steels, and specialty alloy materials. The facility has wide fabrication bays and high crane hook heights, enabling us to shop fabricate large products for industrial service applications. The Tulsa Port has transportation service via railroad and Mississippi River barge facilities in addition to the interstate highway system, making it economical to transport heavy loads of raw material and fabricated steel.

In Bristol, Pennsylvania, we lease land and buildings and own the equipment used in the fabrication of new tanks, new tank components, structural steel, all maintenance, retrofit, and repair parts including fixed roofs, floating roofs, shell plate, and tank appurtenances. This Bristol facility is located close to the petroleum refining and petrochemical industry, which supplies the large population center of the Northeastern United States.

At Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, we lease land and facilities and own equipment used to fabricate tank aluminum and stainless steel floating roofs, seal systems, and appurtenances. The Bethlehem facility has the capacity to fabricate new products or to provide repair and maintenance parts for existing aluminum floating roofs, seal systems, and appurtenances.

At Orange, California, we own land, buildings and the equipment used in the fabrication of tank components and all maintenance, retrofit, and repair parts including fixed roofs, floating roofs, and seals. The Orange facility is located close to the petroleum refining and petrochemical industry, which supplies the large population centers of the Western United States.

In Holmes, Pennsylvania, we own and operate a pipe and pressure vessel fabrication facility. The Holmes facility is ASME approved and U.A. labeled with “PP”, “R”, and “U” stamps. Most exotic metals can be fabricated in this facility, which operates to support not only our work but is also used to fabricate for our customers.

REPAIR & MAINTENANCE SERVICES

Through our Repair & Maintenance Services segment, we provide routine, preventive, and emergency-required maintenance of facilities and tanks as well as plant turnarounds, outages, and industrial cleaning.

Our maintenance services include on-going, routine maintenance in addition to providing quick response to emergency situations. We believe that maintaining a daily maintenance workforce is imperative to efficient plant operations and has a positive impact on turnaround and other non-routine maintenance requirements.

We offer repair and maintenance services for entire plants and facilities or on single units or tanks. Our services can be provided for short durations or on multiple year contracts. We also offer maintenance for entire power and delivery systems, and on a national basis we offer maintenance for multiple refinery locations.

Depending on our customer’s requirements and project location, we can provide repair and maintenance on a union or merit shop basis.

A typical maintenance contract includes planning and scheduling; interfacing with the client’s computer/network system; and active participation in or development of reliability programs, including the development of performance metrics. These services, which generally include safety training, planning and implementation, and Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) management have received top industrial awards.

-5-

Matrix believes that an important factor to successful plant turnarounds and outages is effective and accurate planning and scheduling as well as up to date cost control. The planning and scheduling efforts for these projects begin well in advance of the scheduled shutdown/outage, but they set the stage for success. We have an integrated cost control system that enables us to provide costs by shift or by day. Our ability to recruit and maintain superior craft personnel has been the key to keeping projects on schedule and on budget, and an integral part to our success. Our dedicated personnel work around the clock, sometimes for weeks, completing the job in a safe, professional manner while meeting the highest quality standards and codes.

Our Repair & Maintenance Services segment has 14 fully staffed and equipped locations throughout the United States and Canada. Each location houses operational and project management groups, plus safety and quality personnel. Close proximity to the customer allows us to provide superior service while developing a close relationship with our project groups. We believe that this approach facilitates improved communication and customer satisfaction.

We believe that Matrix is the largest aboveground storage tank repair & maintenance contractor in the United States. In response to environmental requirements for control of vapor emissions and leak containment, we have developed many unique designs and devices such as floating tank roofs, floating roof seal systems, tank double bottoms and liners, dike liners, valve covers, and other products used on storage tanks.

The market is governed by strong industrial standards, codes, and regulations. With the teams that we have assembled, we believe that Matrix has the knowledge and experience to comply with all applicable specifications to ensure that all quality requirements are met or exceeded.

Repair & Maintenance Services Market Overview

According to the Oil and Gas Journal, the U.S. had 189 operating refineries at the beginning of 1985 and only 143 refineries in operation by the beginning of 2002. Yet despite the fact that there are fewer refineries, nameplate crude capacity has expanded. To ensure the operability, environmental compliance, efficiency, and safety of their plants, refiners must either maintain, repair, or replace process equipment, operating machinery, and piping systems on a regular basis. Major maintenance and capital projects require the shutdown of an operating unit, or in some cases, the entire refinery. In addition to routine maintenance, numerous repair and capital improvement projects are undertaken during a turnaround. Depending on the type, utilization rate, and operating efficiency of a refinery, turnarounds of a refinery unit typically occur at scheduled intervals ranging from six months to four years.

In 1985, the U.S. had the capacity to refine approximately 15.1 million barrels per day and by 2002 this figure had grown to 16.6 million barrels per day. Many factors created this increase in crude input refining capacity, including refinery expansion and debottlenecking. With the domestic increase in demand for refined product, domestic refineries are operating at high utilization rates. Generally higher utilization rates mean more wear and tear on the processing units. With the consolidations and subsequent reductions in staff within the petroleum industry and the need for reliable maintenance either during the turn-around process or day-to-day maintenance, we believe more reliance for performance will be placed on service providers such as Matrix.

Matrix provides day-to-day maintenance including managing the maintenance force through reliability studies and other management tools. This continual effort to improve performance is in concert with the industry’s desire to reduce operating costs. We believe the day-to-day maintenance presence assists us in our effort to obtain turn-around work from the customer when the refinery periodically shuts down for major repairs.

Utilities and manufacturing concerns are also looking to outside contractors to either supplement existing maintenance staff or to take over maintenance responsibilities. In addition, the recent development of independent power plants presents a need for maintenance on the growing fleet of gas turbines, steam turbines, boilers, and heat recovery steam generators (HRSG). Matrix is uniquely situated to provide this service. We have years of experience and many qualified supervisors and craftsmen that have worked in constructing and maintaining power and manufacturing facilities.

AST Maintenance and Modification

Matrix derives a significant portion of its revenues from providing AST maintenance, repair, and modification services. The principal services in this area involve the design, construction, and installation of floating roof and seal assemblies, the design and construction of secondary containment systems (double bottoms), and the provision of a variety of services for underground and aboveground piping systems. The Company also installs, maintains, and modifies tank appurtenances, including spiral stairways, platforms, water drain-off assemblies; roof drains, gauging systems, fire protection systems, rolling ladders, and structural supports.

OTHER BUSINESS MATTERS

Customers and Marketing

Matrix derives a significant portion of its revenues from performing construction and repair & maintenance services for major integrated oil companies. In fiscal 2003, Chevron and BP accounted for 16% and 10%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues. Chevron represented 19% of Construction Services revenues and 11% of Repair & Maintenance Services revenues and BP represented 21% of Repair and Maintenance Services revenues and 2% of Construction Services revenues. The loss of either of these major customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company. Matrix also performs services for the power industry, independent petroleum refining and marketing companies, architectural and engineering firms, the food industry, general contractors, and several major petrochemical companies. We sold our products and services to approximately 400 customers during fiscal 2003.

Matrix markets its services and products primarily through its marketing personnel, senior professional staff, and its management. The marketing personnel concentrate on developing new customers and assist management and staff with existing customers. We enjoy many preferred provider relationships with customers that award us work without competitive bid through long-term agreements. In addition, we competitively bid many projects. Repair & Maintenance projects have a duration of one week to several months depending on work scope. Construction projects range from one week to two years.

Competition

Matrix competes with a large number of regional construction and maintenance companies and a number of national construction and maintenance companies in both the Construction Services and Repair & Maintenance Services segments. Competitors generally vary with the markets we serve with no competitors competing in all of the markets we serve or for all of the services that we provide. Competitors generally compete on a union shop or on a merit shop basis only. Contracts are generally awarded based on price, customer satisfaction, safety record and programs, quality, and schedule compliance. We believe that our turnkey capability, expertise, experience, and reputation for providing safe and timely quality services allow us to compete effectively.

Backlog

At May 31, 2003, the Construction Services segment had estimated backlog of work under contracts believed to be firm of approximately $187 million, as compared with an estimated backlog of approximately $50 million as of May 31, 2002. The estimated backlog at May 31, 2003 for the Repair & Maintenance Services segment was approximately $20 million, as compared to $22 million at May 31, 2002. Virtually all of the projects comprising this backlog are expected to be completed within fiscal year 2004. Because many of our contracts are performed within short time periods after receipt of an order, we do not believe that our level of backlog is a meaningful indicator of our sales activity.

Seasonality

The operating results of the Repair & Maintenance Services segment may be subject to significant quarterly fluctuations, affected primarily by the timing of planned maintenance projects at customers’ facilities. Generally, the Company’s turnaround/outage projects are undertaken in two primary periods – February through May and September through November – when refineries typically shut down certain operating units to make changes to adjust to seasonal shifts in product demand. As a result, our quarterly operating results can fluctuate materially. In addition, the Construction Services segment typically has a lower level of operating activity during the winter months and early into the new calendar year as many of our customers’ capital budgets have not been finalized and demand for storage fluctuates with demand for product.

-8-

Raw Material Sources and Availability

The only significant raw material purchased by the Construction Services and Repair & Maintenance Services segments is steel and steel pipe supplies located throughout the United States. In today’s market environment, steel products and pipe are readily available from numerous suppliers. We do not foresee having difficulty obtaining adequate quantities of raw materials in the future.

Insurance

Matrix maintains worker’s compensation insurance, with statutory limits, general liability insurance, and auto liability insurance in the primary amount of $1.0 million and pollution insurance in the primary amount of $5.0 million. We maintain an umbrella policy with coverage limits of $25.0 million per project. We also maintain policies to cover our equipment and other property with coverage limits of $14.0 million per occurrence and policies for the duration of construction with coverage limits of $6.0 million per project. Most of our policies provide for coverage on an occurrence basis not a “claims made” basis. Our liability policies are subject to certain deductibles, none of which is higher than $500,000. We maintain a performance and payment bonding line of $150.0 million. Matrix also maintains professional liability insurance and a key-man life insurance policy covering our current CEO.

Many of the our contracts require us to indemnify our customers for injury, damage, or loss arising in connection with their projects and provide for warranties of materials and workmanship. Matrix generally requires its subcontractors to indemnify Matrix and name us and our customer as additional insured parties for any loss or alleged loss arising out of the subcontractor’s activities. There can be no assurance that our insurance and the additional insurance coverage provided by our subcontractors will protect us against a valid claim of loss under the contracts with our customers.

Employees

As of May 31, 2003, we employed 3,641 employees of which 436 were employed in non-field positions and 3,205 in field or shop positions. Throughout fiscal year 2003, we employed a total of 5,118 employees in field or shop positions who worked on a project-by-project basis.

As of May 31, 2003, 2,227 of the 3,205 field or shop employees were represented by unions under collective bargaining agreements. We operate under collective bargaining agreements with various unions representing different groups of our employees. These agreements provide the union employees with benefits including health and welfare plans, pension plans, training programs, and compensation plans.

Matrix has not experienced any significant strikes or work stoppages. We believe that our relationship with our employees is excellent.

Patents and Proprietary Technology

Matrix holds a number of United States patents and one United Kingdom patent under the Flex-A-Span ^® trademark which covers a peripheral seal for floating roof tank covers. One of our U.S. patents covers our ThermoStor ^® diffuser system that receives, stores, and dispenses both chilled and warm water in and from the same storage tank. The ThermoStor ^® patent expires in March 2010. We also have patented the RS 1000 Tank Mixer ^® which controls sludge build-up in crude oil tanks through resuspension. The RS 1000 Tank Mixer ^® patent expires in August 2012. We have a patent on our Flex-A-Swivel ^®, a swivel joint for floating roof drain systems. This United States Patent expires in March 2016. We also hold a United States patent that expires in June 2008 under the Flex-A-Seal ^® trademark which covers a seal for floating tank covers.

Matrix holds a United States patent, which covers a flexible fluid containment system marketed as the Valve Shield ^®. The Valve Shield ^® captures and contains fluid leaking from pipe and valve connections. The Valve Shield ^® patent expires in December 2017. We also hold two patents in the United States and numerous foreign countries covering a full contact floating roof and a perimeter seal for internal aluminum floating roofs. The United States patents expire in May 2015 and May 2013, respectively. Both the Construction Services and Repair & Maintenance Services segments utilize these patents; and while we believe that the protection of our patents is important to our business, we do not believe that these patents are essential to the success of Matrix.

Regulation

Various environmental protection laws have been enacted and amended during the past 30 years in response to public concern over the environment. Our operations and the operations of our customers are subject to these evolving laws and the related regulations, which are enforced by the EPA and various other federal, state and local environmental, safety, and health agencies. We believe that our current operations are in material compliance with such laws and regulations; however, there can be no assurance that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred due to increasingly stringent environmental restrictions and limitations. Historically, however, the cost of measures taken to comply with these laws has not had a material adverse effect on the financial condition of Matrix. In fact, the proliferation of such laws has led to an increase in the demand for some of our products and services. A discussion of the principal environmental laws affecting Matrix and our customers is set forth below.

Air Emissions Requirements. The EPA and many state governments have adopted legislation and regulations subjecting many owners and operators of storage vessels and tanks to strict emission standards. The regulations prohibit the storage of certain volatile organic liquids (“VOLs”) in open-top tanks and require tanks, which store VOLs to be equipped with primary and/or secondary roof seals mounted under a fixed or floating roof. Related regulations also impose continuing seal inspection and agency notification requirements on tank owners and prescribe certain seal requirements. Under the latest EPA regulations, for example, floating roofs on certain large tanks constructed or modified after July 1984 must be equipped with one of three alternative continuous seals mounted between the inside wall of the tank and the edge of the floating roof. These seals include a foam or liquid-filled seal mounted in contact with the stored petroleum product; a combination of two seals mounted one above the other, the lower of which may be vapor mounted; and a mechanical shoe seal, composed of a metal sheet held vertically against the inside wall of the tank by springs and connected by braces to the floating roof. The EPA has imposed similar requirements, which are now effective or will be after completion of various phase-in periods on certain large tanks, regardless of the date of construction, operated by companies in industries such as petroleum refining and synthetic organic chemical manufacturing, which are subject to regulations controlling hazardous air pollutant emissions. The EPA is in the process of developing further regulations regarding seals and floating roofs.

Amendments to the federal Clean Air Act adopted in 1990 require, among other things, that refineries produce cleaner burning gasoline for sale in certain large cities where the incidence of volatile organic compounds in the atmosphere exceeds prescribed levels leading to ozone depletion. Refineries are undergoing extensive modifications to develop and produce acceptable reformulated fuels that satisfy the Clean Air Act Amendments. Such modifications are anticipated to cost refineries several billion dollars, and require the use of specialized construction services such as those provided by the Company. A significant number of refineries have completed changes to produce “reformulated fuels”, principally refineries serving specific areas of the U.S.; however, there are a substantial number of refineries that have not made the change. The EPA is also in the process of developing further regulations to require production of cleaner gasolines and diesel fuels including the production of reduced sulfur gasoline and diesel fuel.

As part of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, Congress required the EPA to promulgate regulations to prevent accidental releases of air pollutants and to minimize the consequences of any release. The EPA adopted regulations requiring Risk Management Plans (“RMPs”) from companies, which analyze and limit risks associated with the release of certain hazardous air pollutants. In addition, the EPA requires companies to make RMPs available to the public. Many petroleum related facilities, including refineries, will be subject to the regulations and may be expected to upgrade facilities to reduce the risks of accidental releases. Accordingly, the Company believes that the promulgation of accidental release regulations could have a positive impact on its business.

Water Protection Regulations. Protection of groundwater and other water resources from spills and leakage of hydrocarbons and hazardous substances from storage tanks and pipelines has become a subject of increasing legislative and regulatory attention, including releases from ASTs. Under Federal Water Pollution Control Act regulations, owners of most ASTs are required to prepare spill prevention, control, and countermeasure (“SPCC”) plans detailing steps that have been taken to prevent and respond to spills and to provide secondary containment for the AST to prevent contamination of soil and groundwater. These plans are also subject to review by the EPA, which has authority to inspect covered ASTs to determine compliance with SPCC requirements. Various states have also enacted groundwater legislation that has materially affected owners and operators of petroleum storage tanks. The adoption of such laws has prompted many companies to install double bottoms on their storage tanks to lessen the chance that their facilities will discharge or release regulated chemicals. State statutes regarding protection of water resources have also induced many petroleum companies to excavate product pipelines located in or near marketing terminals, to elevate the pipelines aboveground, and to install leak detection systems under the

-10-

pipelines. These laws and regulations have generally led to an increase in the demand for some of the Company’s products and services.

In the event hydrocarbons are spilled or leaked into groundwater or surface water from an AST that the Company has constructed or repaired, the Company could be subject to lawsuits involving such spill or leak. To date, the Company has not suffered a material loss resulting from such litigation.

Hazardous Waste Regulations. The Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (“RCRA”) provides a comprehensive framework for the regulation of generators and transporters of hazardous waste, as well as persons engaged in the treatment, storage, and disposal of hazardous waste. Under state and federal regulations, many generators of hazardous waste are required to comply with a number of requirements, including the identification of such wastes, strict labeling and storage standards, and preparation of a manifest before the waste is shipped off site. Moreover, facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste must obtain a RCRA permit from the EPA, or equivalent state agency, and must comply with certain operating, financial responsibility, and site closure requirements.

In 1990, the EPA issued its Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (“TCLP”) regulations. Under the TCLP regulations, which have been amended from time to time, wastes containing prescribed levels of any one of several identified substances, including organic materials found in refinery wastes and waste-waters (such as benzene), will be characterized as “hazardous” for RCRA purposes. As a result, some owners and operators of facilities that produce hazardous wastes are being required to make modifications to their facilities or operations in order to remain outside the regulatory framework or to come into compliance with the Subtitle C requirements. Many petroleum refining, production, transportation and marketing facilities are choosing to replace existing surface impoundments with storage tanks and to equip certain of the remaining impoundments with secondary containment systems and double liners. Accordingly, the Company believes that the promulgation of the TCLP regulations is having a positive impact on its tank construction and modification business.

Amendments to RCRA require the EPA to promulgate regulations banning the land disposal of hazardous wastes, unless the wastes meet certain treatment standards or the particular land disposal method meets certain waste containment criteria. Regulations governing disposal of wastes identified as hazardous under the TCLP, for example, could require water drained from the bottom of many petroleum storage tanks to be piped from the tanks to a separate facility for treatment prior to disposal. Because the TCLP regulations can, therefore, provide an incentive for owners of petroleum storage tanks to reduce the amount of water seepage in the tanks, the Company believes that the regulations have and will continue to positively influence sales of its Flex-A-Seal^® roof seals, which materially reduce the amount of water seepage into tanks.

CERCLA. The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), also known as “Superfund”, authorizes the EPA to identify and clean up sites contaminated with hazardous substances and to recover the costs of such activities, as well as damages to natural resources from certain classes of persons specified as liable under the statute. Such persons include the owner or operator of a site and companies that disposed or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances at a site. Under CERCLA, private parties, which incurred remedial costs, may also seek recovery from statutorily responsible persons. Liabilities imposed by CERCLA can be joint and several where multiple parties are involved. Many states have adopted their own statutes and regulations to govern investigation and cleanup of, and liability for, sites contaminated with hazardous substances or petroleum products.

Although the liabilities imposed by RCRA, CERCLA, and other environmental legislation are more directly related to the activities of the Company’s clients, they could, under certain circumstances, give rise to liability on the part of the Company if the Company’s efforts in completing client assignments were considered arrangements related to the transport or disposal of hazardous substances belonging to such clients. In the opinion of management, however, it is unlikely that the Company’s activities will result in any liability under either CERCLA or other environmental regulations in an amount, which will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations or financial condition, and management is not aware of any current liability of the Company based on such a theory.

Oil Pollution Act. The Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (“OPA”) established a new liability and compensation scheme for oil spills from onshore and offshore facilities. Section 4113 of the OPA directed the President to conduct a study to determine whether liners or other secondary means of containment should be used to prevent leaking or to aid in leak detection at onshore facilities used for storage of oil. The Company believes that its business would be positively affected by any regulations eventually promulgated by the EPA that required liners and/or secondary containment be used to minimize leakage from ASTs. While the regulation has not, to date, been enacted, the

-11-

industry designs secondary containment in all new tanks being built and, in general, secondary containment is installed in existing tanks when they are taken out of service for other reasons in anticipation of this regulation.

Health and Safety Regulations. The operations of the Company are subject to the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (“OSHA”) and comparable state laws. Regulations promulgated under OSHA by the Department of Labor require employers of persons in the refining and petrochemical industries, including independent contractors, to implement work practices, medical surveillance systems, and personnel protection programs in order to protect employees from workplace hazards and exposure to hazardous chemicals. In recognition of the potential for catastrophic accidents within refining and petrochemical facilities, OSHA has enacted very strict and comprehensive safety regulations. Regulations such as OSHA’s Process Safety Management (PSM) standard require facility owners and their contractors to ensure that their employees are adequately trained regarding safe work practices and informed of known potential hazards. The Company has established comprehensive programs for complying with health and safety regulations. While the Company believes that it operates safely and prudently, there can be no assurance that accidents will not occur or that the Company will not incur substantial liability in connection with the operation of its business.

The State of California has promulgated particularly stringent laws and regulations regarding health and safety and environmental protection. The Company’s operations in California are subject to strict oversight under these laws and regulations and the failure to comply with these laws and regulations could have a negative impact on the Company.

Environmental

Matrix is a participant in certain environmental activities in various stages involving assessment studies, cleanup operations, and/or remedial processes.

In connection with our sale of Brown and affiliated entities in 1999, environmental assessments turned up a number of deficiencies relating to storm water permitting, air permitting, asbestos, soil and water contamination, and waste handling and disposal. Appropriate State of Georgia agencies were notified and corrective actions initiated. The remediation was substantially completed during fiscal 2003.

Matrix closed or sold the business operations of its San Luis Tank Piping Construction Company, Inc. and West Coast Industrial Coatings, Inc. subsidiaries, which were located in California. Although Matrix does not own any land or buildings used in these subsidiaries, we would be liable for any environmental exposure while operating at the facility, a period from June 1, 1991 to the present. At the present time, the environmental liability that could result from the testing is unknown; however, Matrix has purchased a pollution liability insurance policy with $5 million of coverage for all operations.

Matrix has other fabrication operations in Tulsa, Oklahoma; Catoosa, Oklahoma; Bristol, Bethlehem, and Holmes, Pennsylvania; Bellingham, Washington and Orange, California, which could subject the Company to environmental liability. It is unknown at this time if any such liability exists but based on the types of fabrication and other manufacturing activities performed at these facilities and the environmental monitoring that we undertake, Matrix does not believe it has any material environmental liabilities at these locations.

Matrix builds aboveground storage tanks and performs maintenance and repairs on existing aboveground storage tanks. A defect in the manufacturing of new tanks or faulty repair and maintenance on an existing tank could result in an environmental liability if the product stored in the tank leaked and contaminated the environment. Matrix currently has liability insurance with pollution coverage of $5 million, but the amount could be insufficient to cover a major claim.

Item 7.

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

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Matrix’s financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Highlighted below are the accounting policies that management considers significant to the understanding and operations of Matrix’s business.

Revenue Recognition

Matrix records profits on long-term contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis on the cost-to-cost method. Contracts in process are valued at cost plus accrued profits less billings on uncompleted contracts. Contracts are generally considered substantially complete when field construction is completed. Matrix includes pass-through revenue and costs on cost-plus contracts, which are customer-reimbursable materials, equipment, and subcontractor costs, when Matrix determines that it is responsible for the procurement and management of such cost components on behalf of the customer.

Matrix has numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion. Such contracts require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. At May 31, 2003, a sensitivity analysis of these estimates indicated that a 5% change in total estimated contract revenues would result in a 60% change in gross profits on these jobs. Matrix has a history of making reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress towards completion, contract revenues, and contracts costs, and accordingly, does not believe these significant fluctuations would ever materialize. However, current estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available. If estimates of costs to complete long-term contracts indicate a loss, provision is made through a contract write-down for the total loss anticipated. The elapsed time from award of a contract to completion of performance may be in excess of one year.

Claims Recognition

Claims are amounts in excess of the agreed contract price (or amounts not included in the original contract price) that a contractor seeks to collect from customers or others for delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price, or other causes of unanticipated additional costs. Matrix records claims in accordance with paragraph 65 of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts”. This statement of position states that recognition of amounts as additional contract revenue related to claims is appropriate only if it is probable that the claims will result in additional contract revenue and if the amount can be reliably estimated. Those two requirements are satisfied by management’s determination of the existence of all of the following conditions: the contract or other evidence provides a legal basis for the claim; additional costs are caused by circumstances that were unforeseen at the contract date and are not the result of deficiencies in our performance; costs associated with the claim are identifiable or otherwise determinable and are reasonable in view of the work performed; and the evidence supporting the claim is objective and verifiable. If such requirements are met, revenue from a claim is recorded to the extent that contract costs relating to the claim have been incurred. The amounts recorded, if material, are disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. Costs attributable to claims are treated as costs of contract performance as incurred.

Insurance Reserves

Matrix maintains insurance coverage for various aspects of our operations. However, we retain exposure to potential losses through the use of deductibles and self-insured retentions. Management regularly reviews estimates of reported and unreported claims and provides for losses through reserves. Adjustments to reserves are recorded as new information regarding claims or potential claims become available.

-16-

Goodwill

Matrix adopted SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” effective June 1, 2002. Under the provisions of the Statement, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized but will be tested annually for impairment. The goodwill impairment analysis under SFAS No. 142 requires us to allocate goodwill to our reporting units for the purposes of performing the impairment test. Reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment calculations are one level below or at the Company’s segment level. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the recorded book value of the reporting unit’s net assets (including goodwill), then a hypothetical purchase price allocation is performed. If the amount of goodwill resulting from this hypothetical purchase price allocation is less than the recorded goodwill, an impairment of the goodwill will be recorded. The fair value of reporting units is based on several factors, including cash flows, earnings multiples, and replacement costs, which involve judgments and assumptions made by management in determining these estimates.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Prior to the acquisition of Hake, Matrix was organized into three reportable segments – Aboveground Storage Tank Services, Plant Services, and Construction Services. As a result of the Hake acquisition, the structure of the Company’s internal organization changed in a manner that caused the Company’s reportable segments to change. Matrix now has two reportable segments – Construction Services and Repair & Maintenance Services. The corresponding items of segment information for earlier periods have been restated.

Consolidated Overview

Matrix Operates in two segments – Construction Services and Repair & Maintenance Services. All continuing operations are contained within these segments; therefore, significant fluctuations in revenues, gross profits, and operating income will be discussed below by segment. Matrix’s revenues fluctuate based on the changing project mix and are dependent on the level and timing of customer releases of new business and on other matters such as project schedules.

Consolidated selling, general, and administrative costs as a percent of revenue decreased to 7.1% compared to 7.2% for the same period last fiscal year and 7.4% in fiscal year 2001. The reduction in 2002 was due to the fixed cost structure at the time being spread over a larger revenue base. The continued reduction in the current year is entirely the result of leveraging the fixed cost structure with the Hake acquisition in the 4^th quarter. In addition, there were one-time charges of approximately $0.5 million in 2003 related to the integration of Hake.

Restructuring, impairment, and abandonment for fiscal year 2003 consists mainly of a one-time insurance settlement of $1.0 million from a recovery under Matrix’s environmental insurance policy of expenditures made to remediate previously owned properties in Newnan, Georgia, as well as a $0.3 million reduction in workers’ compensation reserves related to exited operations.

Interest expense increased to $1.0 million in 2003 from $.3 million in 2002 as a result of increased debt that occurred as a result of the acquisition of Hake.

The effective tax rates for the years ended May 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001 were 37%, 38%, and 35%, respectively. The lower tax rate in 2001 was the result of the utilization of tax loss carry forwards from prior years. The 2003 effective tax rate was reduced by post-tax equity earnings from a joint venture in the amount of $0.6 million. This reduction was offset somewhat by the higher tax rates experienced by the Hake Group during the 4^th quarter.

Construction Services 2003 vs. 2002

Revenues for Construction Services in 2003 were $171.0 million, an increase of $55.0 million, or 47.4%, over the $116.0 million reported for 2002. This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of Hake results from the date of its acquisition on March 7, 2003, and significant growth in construction work on the west coast. New tank construction declined year over year. Gross margins widened to 11.3% from 9.4% in fiscal year 2002, owing to higher margin projects and increased volume in our west coast construction group and the absence of two major power projects, which lost money in fiscal 2002. The increased revenues and improved gross margins resulted in gross profit for 2003 of $19.4 million, a 78.0% increase over the $10.9 million reported for 2002.

Operating income for 2003 was $7.9 million, a 316% improvement over the $2.5 million for 2002, primarily as the result of the increased revenue and improved gross margins discussed above.

Construction Services 2002 vs. 2001

Revenues for Construction Services in 2002 were $116.0 million, a 53.0% increase over the 2001 revenue amount of $75.8 million. This improvement was the result of increased business development efforts towards Matrix’s core customer base as well as the existence of a positive overall business environment. Gross margins in 2002 decreased to 9.4% from 9.8% in 2001, primarily as a result of the two projects which lost money in 2002 as mentioned above. One project experienced cost overruns due to underestimated field man-hours, while the second project experienced cost overruns due to lower than expected labor productivity. Management has since strengthened policies and procedures to incorporate a more stringent methodology into the estimating process. The increased revenue volume offset by the gross margin decreases resulted in gross profit for 2002 of $10.9 million, a 47.3% increase over the $7.4 million reported for 2001.

-20-

Operating income for 2002 of $2.5 million was $1.3 million more than the $1.2 million reported for fiscal year 2001, an increase of 108.3%. This improvement was due primarily to the higher gross profit discussed above.

Repair and Maintenance Services 2003 vs. 2002

Revenues for Repair and Maintenance Services in 2003 were $117.4 million, an increase of $10.9 million, or 10.2% over the $106.5 million reported for fiscal year 2002. This increase was due to the inclusion of Hake revenues for most of the 4^th quarter offset somewhat by the fact that refinery turnaround activity was down year over year. Gross margins declined from 13.5% in fiscal 2002 to 11.0% in fiscal 2003 due to a weak repair and maintenance environment, particularly for refinery turnarounds. In addition, Matrix absorbed $.6 million of start-up costs relative to its new offices in Illinois, Utah, and South Carolina. The increased revenue volume offset by the decline in gross margins produced gross profit for 2003 of $12.9 million, a 10.4% decrease from the $14.4 million reported for 2002.

Operating income for 2003 was $4.4 million, $2.1 million less than the $6.5 million reported for 2002. This 32.3% decrease is the result of the reduced gross margins discussed above.

Repair and Maintenance Services 2002 vs. 2001

Revenues for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment for fiscal year 2002 were $106.5 million or $8.6 million less than the $115.1 million reported for fiscal year 2001. This 7.5% decrease was the result of lower routine maintenance activity in 2002. Gross margins for 2002 increased to 13.5% from 13.1% in the prior year, primarily as the result of a slightly higher volume of turnaround work. The reduced revenue along with the improved gross margins resulted in gross profit for 2002 of $14.4 million or $0.7 million less than the $15.1 million produced in 2001.

Operating income for 2002 was $6.5 million, which was slightly less than the $6.9 million reported for 2001, primarily due to the decreased revenue volume discussed above.

Exited Operations

In fiscal 1999, management approved the sale of the assets of our Brown subsidiary to Caldwell Tank, Inc. (“Caldwell”). The sale was executed in fiscal 2000 with Matrix retaining temporary ownership of the land and buildings until environmental remediation was completed. As part of the agreement, Caldwell entered into a three-year right to lease and an option to acquire the real estate and buildings for $2.2 million and was obligated to acquire at the same specified price if Matrix was able to satisfy specified environmental clean-up measures within the three-year period. Matrix also agreed with the buyer not to compete in that business for 5 years.

In fiscal 1999, management approved and committed Matrix to an exit plan related to our San Luis operations. In fiscal 2000, Matrix sold the assets of the coating operation of San Luis to existing management, all open contracts were completed and all operations were shutdown.

As of May 31, 2000, Matrix had $1.3 million of previously established reserves remaining for worker’s compensation, general liability, and environmental obligations associated with the exited operations of Brown and San Luis.

Fiscal Year 2001

Matrix had no operating activities in Brown or San Luis during fiscal 2001. Based on amounts paid and charged against the reserves, worker’s compensation, general liability, and environmental amounts for the Brown operation were determined to be $0.6 million short of previously anticipated expenditures, resulting in a charge to restructuring, impairment, and abandonment costs.

In February 2001, Caldwell acquired one of the two Brown properties for $0.5 million, which was its carrying value. Most environmental remediation was completed on the remaining property and Caldwell’s option to acquire the remaining property was reduced to $1.7 million.

-21-

Fiscal Year 2002

Matrix had no operating activities in Brown or San Luis during fiscal 2002. Activity for the year ended May 31, 2002 consisted primarily of $0.4 million in increased environmental costs related to the remediation at Brown, $0.5 million of increased worker’s compensation claims activity of these exited operations and $0.1 million in warranty work at San Luis. These costs were offset by a $1.0 million gain on the settlement of litigation over a contested contract. In January 2000, Matrix won its case and was awarded $1.1 million. In July 2001, the appellate court upheld the original verdict plus accrued interest and attorney’s fees. The Company recognized a $1.0 million gain on the settlement of this litigation plus interest income of $0.4 million in 2002.

Fiscal Year 2003

Matrix had no operating activities in Brown or San Luis during fiscal 2003. Activity for the year ended May 31, 2003 consisted primarily of $1.0 million of proceeds from an insurance provider and a decrease in reserves for worker’s compensation, automobile, and general liability of $0.3 million. The $1.0 million of proceeds, recognized in income in the current year, was for the partial settlement of insurance claims for environmental costs incurred on the properties sold to Caldwell. The environmental costs had been previously expensed as incurred pending recovery from the insurance carrier.

In September 2002, Caldwell acquired the second Brown property for $1.7 million, which was its carrying value. The environmental remediation on the properties has been substantially completed.

Financial Condition & Liquidity

Matrix’s cash and cash equivalent totaled approximately $0.8 million at May 31, 2003 and $0.8 million at May 31, 2002.

Matrix has financed its operations recently with cash from operations and from advances under a credit agreement. In connection with the acquisition of Hake on March 7, 2003, the Company replaced its existing credit agreement with a new $87.5 million senior credit facility entered into with a group of banks. The agreement was subsequently amended and restated on May 22, 2003. The credit agreement for borrowings consists of a five-year term loan up to $32.5 million and a three-year $55 million revolving credit facility. The Company pays Prime or LIBOR-based interest on funds borrowed under the term loan and funds borrowed on the revolving basis bear interest on a prime or LIBOR-based option, based on the level of Matrix’s eligible accounts receivable. At May 31, 2003, $11.1 million was outstanding under the revolver and $31.5 million was outstanding under the five-year term loan. In addition, $7.6 million of the revolver was utilized by outstanding letters of credit, which mature in 2003 and 2004. $24.3 million remains available under the revolver at May 31, 2003. At May 31, 2003, the Company was paying 3.82% interest on the term loans and interest ranging from 3.57% to 4.25% on the revolver. The credit agreement requires maintenance of certain financial ratios, limits the amount of additional borrowings, and prohibits the payment of dividends. The credit facility is secured by all accounts receivable, inventory, intangibles, real property, and proceeds related thereto of Matrix and certain of its subsidiaries, including Hake Group, Inc.

Effective June 1, 2001, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for an initial notional amount of $6.0 million with a commercial bank, effectively providing a fixed interest rate of 7.23% for the five-year period on the term note of the Company’s previous credit facility. The Company pays 7.23% and receives LIBOR + 1.5% calculated on the notional amount. Net receipts or payments under the agreement will be recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. At May 31, 2003, the balance on the notional amount stands at $5.2 million at an interest rate of 2.81%. The swap agreement expires in 2006. If LIBOR decreases, interest payments received and the market value of the swap position also decrease.

Operations of Matrix provided $17.5 million of cash for the twelve months ended May 31, 2003 as compared with providing $8.7 million of cash for the twelve months ended May 31, 2002, representing an increase of approximately $8.8 million. The increase was due primarily to an increase in net income coupled with decreased working capital needs in the current year as compared to the prior year.

Capital expenditures during the twelve months ended in May 31, 2003 totaled approximately $16.1 million. Of this amount, $7.5 million has been used in the construction of the Tank, Tulsa Regional, and Fabrication facilities at the Tulsa Port of Catoosa location. Other 2003 capital expenditures include $1.7 million for purchase of transportation equipment for field operations, $5.4 million for purchase of small tools, construction and

-22-

fabrication equipment, approximately $1.4 million for office equipment, furniture and fixtures, and $.1 million in small building additions. $9.0 million has been budgeted for total capital expenditures for fiscal 2004.

In August 1998, the Board of Directors authorized a purchase of 142,000 shares of Matrix stock. In March 1999, the Board of Directors authorized the Initial Stock Buyback Program, which permitted the purchase of up to $4,000,000 in Matrix stock. Under this Initial Program, Matrix purchased 958,200 shares. In October 2000, the Board of Directors authorized the Second Stock Buyback Program, which permitted the purchase of up to 20% (i.e., 1,723,753 shares) of the common stock outstanding at that time. To date, Matrix has purchased 1,058,400 shares under the Second Program and has authorization to purchase an additional 665,353 shares.

It is Matrix’s intent to utilize these purchased treasury shares solely for the satisfaction of stock issuance under the 1990 and 1991 Incentive Stock Option Plans and the 1995 Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan.

As of May 31, 2003, the following commitments were in place to support our ordinary course obligations:

Matrix believes that its existing funds, amounts available from borrowing under its existing credit agreement, and cash generated by operations will be sufficient to meet the working capital needs through fiscal 2004 and for the foreseeable time thereafter unless significant expansions of operations not now planned are undertaken, in which case Matrix would need to arrange additional financing as a part of any such expansion.

The preceding discussion contains forward-looking statements including, without limitations, statements relating to Matrix’ plans, strategies, objectives, expectations, intentions, and adequate resources that are made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking statements contained in the financial condition and liquidity section are based on certain assumptions, which may vary from actual results. Specifically, the capital expenditure projections are based on management’s best estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events.

Contingency

In March 2003, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (“AQMD”) of the State of California filed a complaint in the Los Angeles County Superior Court for the Central District against a Matrix customer alleging multiple violations by the customer at its west coast refinery for failure to comply with District Rules 203, 463, 1173, 1176, and 2004 of the AQMD that established a self-inspection and compliance reporting program for above ground stationary tanks used to store crude oil, gasoline, and other petroleum products. The AQMD seeks damages of $320 million from the customer, which is a major, multi-national producer and refiner of oil and gas and a marketer of petroleum based products throughout the United States and many foreign countries.

Of the 54 causes of action made in the complaint, 31 relate to alleged violations of part (e) of Rule 463 for knowingly falsifying inspection reports, failing to conduct self-inspection of certain specified tanks, failing to bring non-complying tanks into compliance, and failing to comply with the reporting and record keeping requirements of Rule 463(e).

Matrix is not named in the AQMD complaint; however, counsel for the customer have made a formal demand upon Matrix to assume defense of the case and to indemnify them for any damages it may incur. The customer’s demand was made pursuant to the terms of a Master Services Agreement entered into in May 1999 between Matrix and the customer. Matrix rejected the demands of the customer based upon its own belief as to the proper interpretation of the Master Services Agreement and the facts developed by Matrix since the AQMD filed its complaint in March 2003.

In response to the continued disagreement between the customer and Matrix, in June 2003, Matrix filed a declaratory judgment action against the customer in the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma, seeking a declaration by the Court that the allegations by the customer against Matrix did not constitute a breach of the Master Services Agreement. Apparently, the filing of the declaratory judgment action by Matrix reached the highest levels in the customer’s organization and resulted in renewed communications between Matrix and the customer. Following a meeting between senior management of Matrix and the customer, Matrix and the customer mutually agreed to toll the dispute for at least four years and until there is a resolution of the complaint filed by the AQMD against the customer, Matrix agreed to dismiss without prejudice its pending declaratory judgment action, the customer designated a senior officer that Matrix could contact directly if matters seemed to be road blocked again, and the customer renewed a commitment to continue to provide Matrix with opportunities for work and new projects.

Despite what appears to be a favorable outcome to Matrix to date, the significant claim made by the AQMD against the customer remains outstanding. And while the exiting relationship between Matrix and its customer is positive, the possibility of incurring a significant civil penalty may still cause the customer to assert claims against Matrix that it believes may be valid under the Master Services Agreement. Matrix is not a party to any litigation regarding this matter and has conducted no discovery to date other than a review of its own records. There can be no assurance that Matrix will not become a party in litigation relating to this matter or what the outcome of any such litigation would be given the inherent uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation.

Item 7A.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Matrix’s interest rate risk exposure primarily results from its debt portfolio, which is influenced by short-term rates, primarily Prime Rate and LIBOR-Based borrowings under its credit agreement.

Matrix utilizes a $55 million revolving credit facility for which interest-rate swaps are not utilized. Therefore, short-term interest rate changes could have an impact on future interest expense on amounts outstanding on the credit facility. At May 31, 2003, $11.1 million was outstanding on the revolver at interest rates ranging from 3.57% to 4.25%. Matrix had borrowed $31.5 million on the $32.5 million term loan facility on May 31, 2003. Interest on the term loan was 3.82% based on LIBOR + 2.5%.

-24-

To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest rates, Matrix utilizes interest-rate swaps to change the ratio of its fixed and variable rate debt portfolio based on Management’s assessment of future interest rates, volatility of the yield curve, and Matrix’s ability to access the capital markets as necessary. In fiscal 2002, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for an initial notional amount of $6.0 million effectively providing a fixed interest rate of 7.23% with the Company receiving LIBOR + 1.5%. The swap instrument was designated as a hedge of a $6.0 million variable interest rate term loan with changes in fair value of the swap recognized in other comprehensive income. In connection with the financing discussed above, the term loan was paid off, the swap ceased to be a highly effective hedge, and hedge accounting was discontinued prospectively. As the variable rate term loan was replaced with a variable rate credit facility, the forecasted transactions of variable rate interest payments are still probable of occurring. As a result, changes in fair value of the swap are recognized in earnings, while the fair value balance at March 7, 2003 of $0.3 million, net of tax, included in other comprehensive loss, will be amortized to income over the remaining life of the swap to June 2006. For the period March 7, 2003 to May 31, 2003, approximately $58,000 of accumulated other comprehensive loss was amortized to interest expense. From the period March 7, 2003 to May 31, 2003, changes in fair value of the swap of approximately $31,000 were included in interest expense.

The following table provides information about Matrix’s term debt and interest rate swap that is subject to interest rate risk. For term debt, the table presents principal cash flows and weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates. For the interest-rate swap, the table presents notional amounts and weighted-average interest rates by contractual maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual cash flows to be exchanged under the interest rate swap.

Weighted-average interest rate through 2003 is Prime or LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.25 percent to 2.50 percent.

(2)

Foreign Currency Risk

Matrix has a subsidiary company whose operations are located in Canada, whose functional currency is the local currency. Historically, results have not been significantly impacted by movements in the foreign currency exchange rate. However, these investments do have the potential to impact Matrix’s financial position, due to fluctuations in the local currencies arising from the process of translating the local functional currency into the U.S. dollar. Management has not entered into derivative instruments to hedge the foreign currency risk. A 10% change in the respective functional currency against the U.S. dollar would not have had a material impact on the financial results of the Company for the year ended May 31, 2003.

Matrix Service Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements present the accounts of Matrix Service Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Company”). Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Company operates primarily in the United States and has operations in Canada. The Company’s industry segments are Construction Services and Repair & Maintenance Services.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassification

Certain amounts in the 2002 and 2001 financial statements have reclassified to conform with the 2003 presentation.

Revenue Recognition

Revenues from fixed-price contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the percentage of costs incurred to date to estimated total costs for each contract. Revenues from cost-plus-fee contracts are recognized on the basis of costs incurred plus the estimated fee earned.

Anticipated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized in full when they become known. In forecasting ultimate profitability on certain contracts, estimated recoveries are included for work performed under customer change orders to contracts for which firm prices have not yet been negotiated. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is reasonably possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, will be revised in the near-term. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Additional contract revenue from claims is recognized when it is probable the claims will result in additional contract revenue and the amount can be reliably estimated. Costs attributable to claims are treated as costs of contract performance as incurred.

Cash Equivalents

The Company includes as cash equivalents all investments with original maturities of three months or less which are readily convertible into cash. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are carried on a gross basis, less the allowance for doubtful accounts. Management estimates the allowance for doubtful accounts based on existing economic conditions, the financial conditions of the customers, and the amount and age of past due accounts. Past due accounts are generally written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts only after all collection attempts have been exhausted.

Matrix Service Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of raw materials and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out or average cost method.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the depreciable assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company evaluates the long-lived assets and intangibles of identifiable business activities for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management’s judgment, that the carrying value of such assets used in operations may not be recoverable. The determination of whether an impairment has occurred is based on management’s estimate of undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the assets as compared to the carrying value of the assets. If an impairment has occurred, the amount of the impairment recognized is determined by estimating the fair value for the assets and recording a provision for loss if the carrying value is greater than fair value.

For assets identified to be disposed of in the future, the carrying value of these assets is compared to the estimated fair value less the cost to sell to determine if an impairment is required. Until the assets are disposed of, an estimate of the fair value is redetermined when related events or circumstances change.

Goodwill

Matrix adopted SFAS No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” effective June 1, 2002. Under the provisions of the Statement, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized, but will be tested annually for impairment. The goodwill impairment analysis under SFAS No. 142 requires us to allocate goodwill to our reporting units for the purposes of performing the impairment test. Reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment calculations are one level below or at the Company’s segment level. If the fair value of a reporting unit is less than the recorded book value of the reporting unit’s net assets (including goodwill), then a hypothetical purchase price allocation is performed. If the amount of goodwill resulting from this hypothetical purchase price allocation is less than the recorded goodwill, an impairment of the goodwill will be recorded. The fair value of reporting units is based on several factors, including cash flows, earnings multiples and replacement costs.

Pro forma information required by SFAS No. 142 provides net income and earnings per share had the company not amortized goodwill for all periods presented.

Matrix Service Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Environmental Costs

Environmental liabilities are recognized when it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of that loss is reasonably estimable. Environmental liabilities are based upon estimates of expected future costs without discounting.

Insurance Reserves

The Company maintains insurance coverage for various aspects of its operations. However, the Company retains exposure to potential losses through the use of deductibles and self-insured retentions. Management regularly reviews estimates of reported and unreported claims and provides for losses through reserves. Adjustments to reserves are recorded as new information regarding claims or potential claims becomes available.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are computed using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share is calculated based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share includes the dilutive effect of employee stock options (434,581 shares, 386,269 shares, and 184,355 shares in 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively).

Stock Option Plans

Employee stock options are accounted for under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (APB 25) and related interpretations. Under APB 25, because the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equals the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized.

Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share is required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 and has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its employee stock options under the fair value method of that Statement. The fair value for these options was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions: risk-free interest rates of 2.81% to 6.74%; dividend yield of –0–%; volatility factors of the expected market price of the Company’s stock of .420 to .860; and an expected life of the options of 2 to 5 years. The average grant date fair values of options awarded during 2003, 2002, and 2001 were $3.63, $3.20, and $2.49, respectively.

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options, which have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected stock price volatility. Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.

Matrix Service Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

The Statement’s pro forma information is as follows:

	2003		2002		2001
	(In Thousands)
Net income as reported	$	8,178	$	5,881	$	4,580
Compensation expense from stock options		374		320		310

Pro forma net income	$	7,804	$	5,561	$	4,270

Pro forma earnings per common share:
Basic	$	.99	$	.72	$	.51
Diluted	$	.93	$	.69	$	.50

The effect of compensation expense from stock options on pro forma net income reflects the vesting of awards granted after June 1, 1995, the year in which the pro forma reporting requirements under SFAS 123 were adopted.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

On June 1, 2001, Matrix adopted SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” All derivatives are reflected at their fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of May 31, 2003. Derivative instruments held by Matrix consist of an interest rate swap agreement.

The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends upon whether it has been designated in a hedging relationship and, further, on the type of hedging relationship. To qualify for designation in a hedging relationship, specific criteria must be met and the appropriate documentation maintained. Hedging relationships are established pursuant to Matrix risk management policies and are initially and regularly evaluated to determine whether they are expected to be, and have been, highly effective hedges. If a derivative ceases to be a highly effective hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively and future changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in earnings each period. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in a hedging relationship are recognized in earnings each period.

For derivatives designated as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or of the variability of cash flows related to a recognized asset or liability (cash flow hedges), the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative is reported in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings in the period in which the hedged item affects earnings. Amounts excluded from the effectiveness calculation and any ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivative are recognized currently in earnings. Gains or losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with terminated derivatives and derivatives that cease to be highly effective hedges remain in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item affects earnings. Forecasted transactions designated as the hedged item in a cash flow hedge are regularly evaluated to assess whether they continue to be probable of occurring. If the forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, any gain or loss deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income is recognized in earnings currently.

Matrix entered into interest-rate swap agreements to modify the interest characteristics of its long-term debt. These agreements were designated with all or a portion of the principal balance and term of specific debt obligations. These agreements involved the exchange of amounts based on a fixed interest rate for amounts based on variable interest rates without an exchange of the notional amount upon which the payments are based. The difference to be paid or received is accrued and recognized as an adjustment of interest accrued. Gains and losses from terminations of interest-rate swap agreements are deferred and amortized as an adjustment of the interest expense on the outstanding debt over the remaining original term of the terminated swap agreement. In the event the designated debt is extinguished, gains and losses from terminations of interest-rate swap agreements are recognized into income.

New Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligation.” SFAS No. 143 addresses financial accounting and reporting for obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and the associated asset retirement costs. The Company’s adoption of the Statement effective June 1, 2003 did not have a material impact.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” This Statement addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies EITF Issue No. 94-3, “Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring).” Under this Statement, a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity is recognized at fair value when the liability is incurred rather than at the date of an entity’s commitment to an exit plan. The provisions of this Statement are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Initial adoption of this Statement on January 1, 2003, did not have any impact on Matrix’s results of operations or financial position.

The FASB issued SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” which is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123 to permit two additional transition methods for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation from the intrinsic method under APB No. 25. The prospective method of transition under SFAS No. 123 is an option to the entities that adopt the recognition provisions under this statement in a fiscal year beginning before December 15, 2003. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements concerning the method of accounting used for stock-based employee compensation and the effects of that method on reported results of operations. Under SFAS No. 148, pro forma disclosures will be required in a specific tabular format. Matrix has applied the disclosure requirements of this statement effective May 31, 2003. The adoption had no effect on Matrix’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. Matrix continues to account for its stock-based compensation plans under APB Opinion No. 25.

Acquisition

On March 7, 2003, Matrix acquired all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Hake Group, Inc. as well as all of the issued and outstanding minority interests in the majority-owned subsidiaries of Hake Group, Inc. As a result, Matrix acquired 100% ownership interests in Hake Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Hake”). Also included in the acquisition was a 50% membership interest in Ragner Hake, LLC, a construction joint venture. The Consolidated Results of Operations for Matrix for the year ended May 31, 2003 include the results of operations for Hake since March 7, 2003.

The purchase price was $54 million, of which $44 million in cash was paid at closing with the remaining $10 million to be paid post-closing in varying installments over the next five years (the “Acquisition Payable”). The Acquisition Payable was recorded at its fair value of $8.4 million and will be accreted for the change in its present value each period. Payments related to the Acquisition Payable are due annually on March 7 with $1 million due in 2004, $2 million due in each of 2005, 2006, and 2007, and $3 million due in 2008.

Hake is headquartered in Eddystone, Pennsylvania, and is an industrial service contractor providing services to the power, petroleum refinery, chemical, & manufacturing industries located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Services are provided to customers as integrated bundled services and include:

Millwrighting, Specialized Heavy Hauling and Rigging

Electrical and Instrumentation Contracting

General Maintenance and Civil Contracting

Steel Fabrication and Erection,

Boiler Work, Pipefitting, Piping and Pressure Vessel Fabrication

Matrix Service Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Matrix believes the addition of Hake will further its objective of seeking acquisitions to enhance its core business while achieving revenue growth without sacrificing profit margins. This acquisition complements the core business by providing Matrix with a significant presence in the Mid-Atlantic region while expanding its service offerings and adding process knowledge and technical expertise in multiple industries, but primarily in the power market.

This acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method, and the purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon the estimated fair values of these assets and liabilities at the date of acquisition. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to specific assets and liabilities was based, in part, upon outside appraisals of the fair value of Hake’s property, plant, equipment, and identifiable assets. The final purchase price is subject to adjustments, including a working capital adjustment and finalization of certain contracts. Expectations are that these will be finalized by March 2004. In addition, the Company recorded an accrual for estimated restructuring charges as part of the purchase price allocation. The restructuring charges primarily relate to provisions for costs of redundant facilities and functions. As the restructuring plan is completed, the accrual and purchase price allocation will be adjusted. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition:

	At March 7, 2003
	(In Thousands)
Current Assets	$	51,304
Property, Plant & Equipment		5,712
Intangible Assets		100
Goodwill		40,160

Total Assets acquired		97,276

Current Liabilities		40,691
Restructuring Accrual		1,500
Non-current Liabilities		1,076

Total Liabilities assumed		43,267

Net Assets acquired	$	54,009

Matrix has not yet determined the assignment of Hake goodwill to specific reporting units. Currently, Hake goodwill is reported as part of the Other reporting segment. The goodwill of $40.2 million was recorded based on purchase price allocation, which represent the excess of purchase price paid to the estimated fair value of the net assets at date of acquisition. It is expected that none of the goodwill associated with the acquisition will be deductible for tax purposes. Of the total purchase price paid for the acquisition, approximately $0.1 million has been allocated to identifiable intangible assets (non-compete agreements), which have a useful life of five years and will be amortized on a straight-line basis.

The following table presents unaudited pro forma results of operations including the acquisition of Hake during 2003 as if this acquisition had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2002. The unaudited pro forma results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations had the acquisition actually occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2002, nor is it necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Joint Venture

As part of the Hake acquisition, Matrix acquired a 50% interest in a joint venture partnership that was established for the sole purpose of fulfilling the terms and performing the obligations under a contract to construct a power generation facility. Construction began in September 2002 and should be completed by early 2004. The Company’s investment in the joint venture is accounted for under the equity method.

Restructuring, Impairment and Abandonment Costs

In fiscal 1999, management approved the sale of the assets of our Brown subsidiary to Caldwell Tank, Inc. (“Caldwell”). In fiscal 2000, Matrix executed an agreement to sell the assets to Caldwell with Matrix retaining temporary ownership of the land and buildings until environmental remediation was completed. As part of the agreement, Caldwell entered into a three-year right to lease and an option to acquire the real estate and buildings for $2.2 million and was obligated to acquire, at the same specified price, if Matrix was able to satisfy specified environmental clean-up measures within the three-year period. Matrix also agreed with the buyer not to compete in that business for five years.

Fiscal Year 2001

Fiscal Year 2002

Matrix had no operating activities in Brown or San Luis during fiscal 2002. Activity for the year ended May 31, 2002 consisted primarily of $0.4 million in increased environmental costs related to the remediation at Brown, $0.5 million of increased worker’s compensation claims activity of these exited operations, and $0.1 million in warranty work at San Luis. These costs were offset by a $1.0 million gain on the settlement of litigation over a contested contract. In January 2000, Matrix won its case and was awarded $1.1 million. In July 2001, the appellate court upheld the original verdict plus accrued interest and attorney’s fees. The Company recognized a $1.0 million gain on the settlement of this litigation plus interest income of $0.4 million in 2002.

Fiscal Year 2003

Uncompleted Contracts

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

The agreement was subsequently amended and restated on May 22, 2003. The credit agreement for borrowings consists of a five-year term loan up to $32.5 million and a three-year $55 million revolving credit facility. The Company pays LIBOR-based interest on funds borrowed under the term loan and funds borrowed on a revolving basis bear interest on a prime or LIBOR-based option, based on the level of Matrix’s eligible accounts receivable. At May 31, 2003, $11.1 million was outstanding under the revolver and $31.5 million was outstanding under the five-year term loan. In addition, $7.6 million of the revolver was utilized by outstanding letters of credit which mature in 2003 and 2004. $24.3 million remain available under the revolver at May 31, 2003. At May 31, 2003, the company was paying 3.82% interest on the term loans and interest ranging from 3.57% to 4.25% on the revolver. The credit agreement requires maintenance of certain financial ratios, limits the amount of additional borrowings, and prohibits the payment of dividends. The credit facility is secured by all accounts receivable, inventory, intangibles, real property, and proceeds related thereto of Matrix and certain of its subsidiaries, including Hake Group, Inc.

In fiscal 2002, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement for an initial notional amount of $6.0 million effectively providing a fixed interest rate of 7.23% with the Company receiving LIBOR + 1.5%. The swap instrument was designated as a hedge of a $6.0 million variable interest rate term loan with changes in fair value of the swap recognized in other comprehensive income. In connection with the financing discussed above, the term loan was paid off, the swap ceased to be a highly effective hedge, and hedge accounting was discontinued prospectively. As the variable rate term loan was replaced with a variable rate credit facility, the forecasted transactions of variable rate interest payments are still probable of occurring. As a result, changes in fair value of the swap are recognized in earnings, while the fair value balance at March 7, 2003 of $0.3 million, net of tax, included in other comprehensive loss, will be amortized to income over the remaining life of the swap to June 2006. For the period March 7, 2003 to May 31, 2003, approximately $58,000 of accumulated other comprehensive loss was amortized to interest expense. From the period March 7, 2003 to May 31, 2003, changes in fair value of the swap of approximately $31,000 were included in interest expense.

Aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the years ending May 31, are as follows: 2004 – $4,643,000, 2005 – $4,643,000, 2006 – $15,255,000, 2007 – $4,643,000 and 2008 – $13,928,000.

The carrying value of debt approximates fair value.

Interest cost incurred in 2003 was $1.3 million, of which $.3 million was capitalized.

8. Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

The Company has 5.0 million shares of preferred stock authorized, none of which was issued or outstanding at May 31, 2003 or 2002.

Preferred Share Purchase Rights

The Company’s Board of Directors authorized and directed a dividend of one preferred share purchase right for each common share outstanding on November 12, 1999 and authorized and directed the issuance of one right per common share for any shares issued after that date. These rights, which expire November 12, 2009, will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires 15 percent or more of the Company’s common stock or announces a tender offer that would result in ownership of 15 percent or more of the common stock. Each right will entitle stockholders to buy one one-hundredth of a share of preferred stock at an exercisable price of $40. In addition, the rights enable holders to either acquire additional shares of the Company’s common stock or purchase the stock of an acquiring company at a discount, depending on specific circumstances. The rights may be redeemed by the Company in whole, but not in part, for one cent per right.

Incentive Stock Options

The Company has a 1990 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “1990 Plan”) and a 1991 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “1991 Plan”) to provide additional incentives for officers and other key employees of the Company. The Company also has a 1995 Nonemployee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “1995 Plan”). Under the 1990 and 1991 Plans, incentive and nonqualified stock options may be granted to the Company’s key employees and nonqualified stock options may be granted to nonemployees who are elected for the first time as directors of the Company after January 1, 1991. Employee options generally

-44-

Matrix Service Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

become exercisable over a five-year period from the date of the grant. Under the 1995 Plan, qualified stock options are granted annually to nonemployee directors and generally become exercisable over a two-year period from the date of the grant. Under each plan, options may be granted with durations of no more than ten years. The option price per share may not be less than the fair market value of the common stock at the time the option is granted. Shareholders have authorized an aggregate of 900,000 options, 1,320,000 options, and 250,000 options to be granted under the 1990, 1991, and 1995 Plans, respectively. Options exercisable total 459,127 options, 498,983 options, and 570,426 options at May 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively. The weighted average exercise prices of exercisable options were $4.377, $4.485, and $4.605 at May 31, 2003, 2002, and 2001, respectively.

The following summary reflects option transactions for the past three years:

9. Commitments

The Company is the lessee under operating leases covering real estate in Tulsa and Catoosa, Oklahoma; Bristol, Bethlehem, and Eddystone, Pennsylvania; Bay Point, California; Summerville, South Carolina; Alton, Illinois; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Newark, Delaware. The Eddystone lessors are the former owners of Hake and the Newark lessor is a current employee. The Company is also the lessee under operating leases covering equipment. Future minimum lease payments are as follows: 2004 – $2,043,000; 2005 – $1,810,000; 2006 – $1,192,000; 2007 – $855,000; 2008 – $580,000 and thereafter – $945,000 Rental expense was $1.2 million, $1.0 million and $1.0 million for the years ended May 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively. Rental expense related to related party leases was $.1 million for the year ended May 31, 2003.

10. Other Financial Information

The Company grants credit without requiring collateral to customers consisting of the major integrated oil companies, independent refiners and marketers, power companies, petrochemical companies, and pipelines. Although this potentially exposes the Company to the risks of depressed cycles in these industries, the Company’s receivables at May 31, 2003 have not been adversely affected by such conditions.

Sales to two customers accounted for approximately 16% and 10%, respectively of the Company’s revenues for the year ended May 31, 2003. The customer that represented 16% of consolidated revenues represented 19% of Construction Services’ revenues and 11% of Repair & Maintenance Services. The customer that represented 10% of consolidated revenues represented 2% of Construction Services, and 21% of Repair & Maintenance Services’ revenues.

Sales to two customers accounted for approximately 13% and 12%, respectively of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the year ended May 31, 2002. The customer that represented 13% of

-45-

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

consolidated revenues represented 11% of Construction Services and 15% of Repair & Maintenance Services’ revenues. The customer that represented 12% of consolidated revenues represented 4% of Construction Services and 20% of Repair & Maintenance Services revenue.

Sales to two customers accounted for approximately 17% and 15%, respectively, of the Company’s consolidated revenues for the year ended May 31, 2001. The customer that represented 17% of consolidated revenues represented 8% of Construction Services and 23% of Repair & Maintenance Services’ revenues. The customer that represented 15% of consolidated revenues represented 6% of Construction Services and 20% of Repair & Maintenance Services revenue.

11. Employee Benefit Plan

The Company sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) savings plan (the “Plan”) for all employees meeting length of service requirements except for those employees covered by the Hake 401(k) savings plan (the “Hake Plan”). Participants may contribute an amount up to 25% of pretax annual compensation as defined in the Plan, subject to certain limitations in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company matches employee contributions based on an annual calendar year discretionary election. For calendar year 2003, the Company has elected to match 25% of the first 6% of employee contributions. Prior to calendar year 2003, the Company matched employee contributions in variable amounts based on years of service.

The Company also sponsors the Hake Plan for all employees meeting length of service requirement and who were previously employees of the acquired Hake Group of Companies. Participants may contribute an amount up to 15% of pretax annual compensation as defined in the plan, subject to certain limitations in accordance with Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Company matches 50% of employees contributing up to the first 6% of compensation.

The Company recognized cost relating to the plan of $0.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the years ended May 31, 2003, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

12. Contingencies

The Company is insured for worker’s compensation, auto, general liability, pollution, and property claims with deductibles for self-insured retention of $500,000, $500, $50,000, $25,000, and $10,000 per incident, respectively. Management estimates the reserve for such claims based on knowledge of the circumstances surrounding the claims, the nature of any injuries involved, historical experience, and estimates of future costs provided by certain third parties. Accrued insurance at May 31, 2003 represents management’s estimate of the Company’s liability at that date. Changes in the assumptions underlying the accrual could cause actual results to differ from the amounts reported in the financial statements.

Matrix, as plaintiff, is currently in litigation in the Tulsa County district court in the State of Oklahoma over matters arising out of a workers compensation program with a former insurance provider. These matters involve contests over a letter of credit (“LOC”) for $2.2 million, a bond for $2.1 million, and cash of $0.6 million pledged to secure Matrix’s obligations under this prior program. The defendants filed a motion to transfer venue to the courts in Bermuda. A hearing on this motion and on whether current court ordered restraints on the collateral will remain in place was held on October 30, 2002. Venue was left in Tulsa County and the restraints on the collateral were left in place with the parties agreeing to negotiate terms satisfactory to both sides. Matrix agreed to replace the LOC and Bond with a strengthened LOC which will provide Matrix with more protection against the proceeds of the LOC being utilized for anything except issues directly related to Matrix’s obligations under the workers compensation program. Matrix executed a letter of intent that requires the LOC to be reissued in a form mutually acceptable to both sides, requires the former insurance provider to pay all cash to the current provider for Matrix’s claims, provides a process for the LOC’s value to decline to zero based on an actuarial evaluation of potential claims, and also requires the Tulsa County action to be dismissed with prejudice (cannot refile). The parties have agreed to the form of the strengthened LOC in principle and the remaining issue is the form of trust account where any cash or receivables that are owed to Matrix will be deposited in such account for the sole benefit of Matrix. The insurance provider is awaiting final approval in a Pennsylvania State Court to

-46-

Matrix Service Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

determine the form of trust account for all policy holders similarly situated. There are no outstanding unpaid or pending claims with the former insurance provider. No amounts are reserved related to this issue.

In March 2003, the South Coast Air Quality Management District (“AQMD”) of the State of California filed a complaint in the Los Angeles County Superior Court for the Central District against a Matrix customer alleging multiple violations by the customer at its west coast refinery for failure to comply with District Rules 203, 463, 1173, 1176, and 2004 of the AQMD that established a self-inspection and compliance reporting program for above ground stationary tanks used to store crude oil, gasoline and other petroleum products. The AQMD seeks damages of $320 million from the customer, which is a major, multi-national producer and refiner of oil and gas and a marketer of petroleum based products throughout the United States and many foreign countries.

In response to the continued disagreement between the customer and Matrix, in June 2003, Matrix filed a declaratory judgment action against the customer in the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma, seeking a declaration by the Court that the allegations by the customer against Matrix did not constitute a breach of the Master Services Agreement. Following a meeting between senior management of Matrix and the customer, Matrix and the customer mutually agreed to toll the dispute for at least four years and until there is resolution of the complaint filed by the AQMD against the customer, Matrix agreed to dismiss without prejudice its pending declaratory judgment action, the customer designated a senior officer that Matrix could contact directly if matters seemed to be road blocked again and the customer renewed a commitment to continue to provide Matrix with opportunities for work and new projects.

Despite what appears to be a favorable outcome to Matrix to date, the significant claim made by the AQMD against the customer remains outstanding. And while the exiting relationship between Matrix and its customer may be very positive, the possibility of incurring a significant civil penalty may still cause the customer to assert claims against Matrix that it believes may be valid under the Master Services Agreement. Matrix is not a party to any litigation regarding this matter and has conducted no discovery to date other than a review of its own records. There can be no assurance that Matrix will not become a party in litigation relating to this matter or what the outcome of any such litigation would be given the inherent uncertainty as to the outcome of any litigation.

In March 2000, the Company entered into a joint venture partnership agreement for the construction of a pulp and paper project. In May 2001, the joint venture became impaired and Matrix fully reserved the net investment amount. Trade receivables include a $1.3 million balance from this affiliated joint venture, which is believed to be fully recoverable. The joint venture is currently in litigation with the owner of the pulp and paper project and has indicated recoveries sought are in excess of the payable to Matrix.

The Company is a defendant in various other legal actions and is vigorously defending against each of them. It is the opinion of management that none of such legal actions will have a material effect on the Company’s financial position.

As of May 31, 2003 and 2002, accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenues, to the extent of costs incurred, for unapproved change orders of approximately $1.8 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and claims of approximately $2.0

-47-

Matrix Service Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

million and $0.7 million, respectively. Generally, amounts related to unapproved change orders and claims will not be paid by the customer to Matrix until final resolution of related claims, and accordingly, collection of these amounts may extend beyond one year.

13. Segment Information

Prior to the acquisition of Hake, the Company had three reportable segments – Aboveground Storage Tank Services, Plant Services, and Construction Services. As a result of the Hake acquisition, the structure of the Company’s internal organization changed in a manner that caused the Company’s reportable segments to change. The Company now has two reportable segments – Construction Services and Repair & Maintenance Services. The corresponding items of segment information have been restated.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment sales and transfers are recorded at cost and there is no inter-company profit or loss on intersegment sales or transfers.

The Company’s reportable segments are business units that offer different services. The reportable segments are each managed separately because they require different expertise and resources for the services provided.

The Construction Services segment performs turnkey projects, plant expansion and relocations, terminal construction, new tank construction, heavy hauling, rigging, and millwrighting.

Repair and Maintenance Services segment provides routine and preventive maintenance and repair of facilities and infrastructure as well as plant turnaround/outages services, emergency response, and industrial cleaning.

Other consists of items related to previously disposed of businesses and identified costs incurred related to the integration of Hake.

Segment assets consist of accounts receivable, costs, and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts, property, plant and equipment, and goodwill. Goodwill related to the Hake acquisition is included in Other until it is allocated to reporting units.

PART IV

Item 14.

Controls and Procedures

We maintain controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. In response to recent legislation, we implemented changes to our disclosure controls and procedures, primarily to formalize and document procedures already in place and to establish a disclosure committee consisting of some of our officers and other management.

Within the 90-day period prior to our filing of this report, and under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our other internal controls can prevent all error and all fraud or that our evaluation of these controls and procedures can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The benefits of controls and procedures must be considered relative to their costs, and the design of any system of controls is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There is reasonable assurance that the design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all reasonably foreseeable future conditions. Because of these and other inherent limitations in controls and procedures, misstatements or omissions due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

Subsequent to the date of our evaluation described above, we have not made any significant changes, including corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses, in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls.
