NOTES TO CHART A
(1) |
REVENUES for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2001 were higher than those of the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2000, primarily due to an increase in business from existing customers. The volatility with respect to the levels of capital spending of the Company's customers and the competitive bidding process the Company must go through on most projects before they are awarded inhibits the Company's ability to project future revenue trends |
|
|
(2) |
REVENUES for the first six months of fiscal 2001 were lower than those of the first six months of fiscal 2000 primarily due to a real estate sale in the first quarter of fiscal 2000, which generated approximately $6.7 million in revenues. There were no real estate sales in the first six months of fiscal 2001. The Company reviews its real estate portfolio on an ongoing basis and places a property on the market for sale when it believes it is in its best interests to do so. In addition, a property may be marketed in one fiscal year, but the sale may not close until a subsequent year, due to individually negotiated contract terms. Real estate sales, which may have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, do not occur every year, and the Company cannot predict the timing of any such sales. |

NOTES TO CHART B
(1) |
The decrease in the percentage of COSTS AND EXPENSES: Applicable to REVENUES for the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2001 compared to the same periods for fiscal 2000 is attributable to: (1) an increase in the size and complexity of work performed, which provided higher margins but involved more risk; (2) improved efficiencies in project management; (3) no significant losses on jobs due to scheduling adjustments; and (4) a refinement in the mix of the Company's customer base. The Company has exposure to increased costs for many reasons beyond its immediate control, including, but not limited to, market competition, unexpected costs, delays due to weather, or an individual customer's scheduling adjustments. Therefore, the Company cannot predict whether the percentages reflected above will continue at the current level. |
|
|
(2) |
The decrease in the dollar amount and percentage of COSTS AND EXPENSES: Applicable to REVENUES for first six months of fiscal 2001 compared to first six months of fiscal 2000 primarily is attributable to the cost of the real estate sold in the first quarter of fiscal 2000. |
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES
FROM CONTINUING OPERATIONS
For the second quarter 2001 and 2000, Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations, net of intersegment eliminations, were $2,547,555 and $1,583,613, respectively. As a percentage of Consolidated REVENUES from Continuing Operations, these expenses were 5% and 3%, respectively. For the first six months of fiscal 2001 and 2000, Selling, general and administrative expenses from continuing operations, net of intersegment eliminations, were $4,607,577 and $4,298,396, respectively. As a percentage of Consolidated REVENUES from Continuing Operations, these expenses were 4% for both periods. In reviewing Chart C, the reader should recognize that the volume of revenues generally will affect the amounts and percentages. The percentages in Chart C are based upon expenses as they relate to Segment REVENUES from Continuing Operations (Chart A), except that Parent and Total expenses relate to Consolidated REVENUES fro m Continuing Operations.

NOTES TO CHART C
(1) |
On a dollar and percentage basis, Selling, general and administrative expenses were higher for the second quarter and first six months 2001 compared to the same periods of 2000, primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation directly related to higher segment profits. |
|
|
(2) |
On a dollar basis, Selling, general and administrative expenses were lower for the second quarter and first six months 2001 compared to the same periods of 2000, primarily because of a decrease in personnel and incentive compensation costs. On a percentage basis, as noted above, the volume of revenues generally affects these percentages. In the first six months of fiscal 2000, revenues were more than 100% higher due to the real estate sale, causing the Selling, general and administrative expenses to be a lower percentage relative to revenues; whereas, in the first six months of fiscal 2001, although the dollar amount of these costs declined by more than 50%, the volume of revenues was significantly lower as there were no real estate sales in the period. |
