Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(A) The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of
Stone & Webster, Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the "Company") have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. The December 31, 1997 consolidated
balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does
not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation
have been included. Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 1998
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
fiscal year ending December 31, 1998 or for any other future period. For
further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and
notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10- K for the fiscal
year ended December 31, 1997.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts
reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(B) Fixed assets, net is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation of $170.5
million at March 31, 1998 and $165.4 million at December 31, 1997.
(C) Basic earnings per share for the three month periods ended March 31, 1998
and 1997 were computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period of 12,803,035 and 12,806,139,
respectively. Diluted earnings per share for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997 were computed based on the weighted average common
and dilutive potential shares outstanding during the period of 12,919,235
and 12,829,041, respectively. The difference between the basic and the
dilutive shares outstanding represents the potential dilution from the
exercise of stock options during the period assuming the application of the
treasury stock method.
(D) Revenue and operating income by business segment were the following for the
three month periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 (in thousands):

--------- ---------
(E) The Company had a valuation allowance of $3.6 million at March 31, 1998 and
December 31, 1997 for the deferred tax assets related to net operating loss
carryforwards. The valuation allowance at March 31, 1998 comprises $3.5
million relating to state net operating loss carryforwards and $0.1 million
relating to the carryforwards of international subsidiaries.
(F) Pension related items, which reduced operating costs, were $5.1 million for
the quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared to $4.5 million for the prior
year. These items increased net income by $3.1 million, or $0.24 per share
for the first quarter of 1998, compared with $2.7 million, or $0.21 per
share for the same period in 1997. Pension related items include a net
pension credit for the Company's domestic subsidiaries and a net pension
cost for its foreign subsidiaries. The pension credit is the result of a
plan that is funded in excess of the projected benefit obligation and
income from the amortization of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 87 net transition asset. The plan is overfunded primarily due to
favorable asset performance. The transition asset will be fully amortized
in 1998.
(G) As of March 31, 1998, options for 187,125 shares were exercisable and
112,375 shares were available for grant under the 1995 Stock Option Plan.
The total number of shares in the Stock Option Plan was increased by 75,000
shares by the Board of Directors on April 21, 1997.
During the three month period ended March 31, 1998, non-qualified options
for 12,000 shares of common stock were granted to employees at a per share
option price of $41.25. Twenty-five percent of the nonqualified options
granted become exercisable on each of the first four anniversary dates of
the grant. Options with respect to 500 shares were exercised and options
for 23,375 shares were canceled during the three month period. The 1995
Stock Option Plan will be replaced by the Long-Term Incentive Compensation
Plan if that plan is approved by the shareholders of the Company at its
annual meeting scheduled to be held on May 14, 1998.
(H) In July 1995 and January 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company
authorized an increase in the share repurchase program from 1.0 million to
2.5 million shares and from 2.5 million to 3.0 million shares,
respectively, of the Company's common stock in open market transactions at
prevailing prices. During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company
acquired 38,312 shares (at a cost of $1.5 million), bringing total
purchases to 2,274,721 shares under this program. The amount and timing of
stock repurchases will depend upon market conditions, share price, as well
as other factors. The Company reserves the right to discontinue the
repurchase program at any time.
(I) Effective January 1, 1998, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income ("SFAS 130").
SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting and display of comprehensive
income and its components (revenues, expenses, gains and losses). The
adoption of this statement only changes the display and disclosure of
information and does not impact amounts previously reported for net income
or shareholders' equity. Comprehensive income was $9.5 million and $5.1
million for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Other
comprehensive income is comprised of translation adjustments of $1.9
million and ($0.5) million for the quarters ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
(J) During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company completed its
divestiture of underutilized office space with the sale of its Cherry Hill,
New Jersey, office building for $13.5 million in cash. The Company
recognized a gain on the sale of this property of $3.1 million ($2.0
million after tax or $0.15 per share). In 1996, the carrying value of the
building was written down to fair value and the loss, per Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, was recorded as an operating loss.
Therefore, the gain is recorded as operating income. The Company also
completed the disposal of its remaining unused office space in its former
New York corporate offices. The provisions made in 1996 for losses on
sublease or lease cancellation of this space have, in aggregate, not been
materially different from the actual costs incurred in disposal of the
excess space.
(K) During the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company purchased the assets
of Belmont Constructors Company, Inc. ("BCI"). The purchase price is
contingent upon the results of certain long-term contracts which will be
completed by the end of 1998. BCI is principally engaged in providing
construction and construction management services to a diverse group of
clients in the hydrocarbons, water, industrial and power markets. The
Company recorded this transaction using the purchase method of accounting
for business combinations. The results of BCI are included in the Company's
condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended
March 31, 1998.
(L) The Company has signed an agreement, subject to the approval of Power
Technologies, Inc. ("PTI") shareholders, to acquire all of the outstanding
stock of PTI. PTI provides engineering consulting services, develops
computer software for use by utility companies, develops and conducts
educational courses and develops customized computer hardware. At the
closing the purchase price will be paid in common stock of the Company
having a value of $9 million. Along with certain other contingent cash
considerations related to a specific project, the PTI shareholders may
receive additional shares of the Company's stock having a value of up to $8
million based on meeting certain performance requirements over the next
five years. In the event of a contingent payout, the number of shares of
common stock issued will be based on the stock price used in connection
with the initial closing.
(M) Certain financial statement items have been reclassified to conform to the
current year's presentation. In the first quarter of 1998 the Company made
reclassifications between general and administrative expenses and cost of
revenue.
(N) Although the Company continues to have possible liabilities related to
environmental pollution and other legal actions, management believes, on
the basis of its assessment of these matters, including consultation with
counsel, that none of these pending legal actions nor such possible
liabilities will result in payment of amounts, if any, that would have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or earnings per share calculations. In the past, the Company has
entered into joint ventures which may require certain future capital
contributions to be made. The timing and amounts of significant capital
contributions required, if any, are undetermined at this time.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
Financial Condition
Stone & Webster, Incorporated and Subsidiaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Results of Operations and Financial Condition
The following is management's discussion and analysis of certain significant
factors that have affected the financial condition and results of operations of
Stone & Webster, Incorporated and Subsidiaries (the "Company") for the periods
noted. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the
Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless noted otherwise, earnings per
share calculations disclosed are basic and diluted.
Results of Operations
For the quarter ended March 31, 1998, the Company reported revenue of $294.0
million, a decrease of 15.9 percent from the $349.5 million reported in the
first quarter of 1997. Operating income for the quarter was $11.6 million
compared with $8.8 million for the first quarter of 1997. Net income for the
quarter ended March 31, 1998 was $7.6 million or $0.59 per share, compared with
net income of $5.6 million or $0.43 per share for the same period in 1997. New
orders were $226.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 compared with
$649.9 million for the first quarter of 1997 and backlog remained constant at
$2.5 billion compared to December 31, 1997 and was down from $2.8 billion at
March 31, 1997.
Components of earnings per share for the three months ended March 31 were:
Three Months
Ended March 31,
1998 1997
------- ------
Basic and diluted earnings per share from:
Operations $0.20 $0.22
Pension related items 0.24 0.21
------- ------
Ongoing operations 0.44 0.43
Asset divestiture 0.15 -
------- ------
Basic and diluted earnings per share $0.59 $0.43
------- ------
Pension related items reduced operating costs by $5.1 million and $4.5 million
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Pension
related items include a net pension credit for the Company's domestic
subsidiaries and a net pension cost for its foreign subsidiaries. The pension
credit is the result of a plan that is funded in excess of the projected benefit
obligation and income from the amortization of Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 87 net transition asset. The plan is overfunded primarily due to
favorable asset performance. The transition asset will be fully amortized in
1998.
During the quarter the Company completed the divestiture of underutilized office
space with the sale of its Cherry Hill, New Jersey, office building for $13.5
million in cash. The Company recognized a gain on the sale of this property of
$3.1 million ($2.0 million after tax or $0.15 per share). In 1996, the carrying
value of the building was written down to fair value and the loss, per Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121") was recorded as an
operating loss. Since the gain on the sale is less than the loss recorded in
1996, the gain is recorded as operating income. The Company also completed the
disposal of its remaining unused office space in its former New York corporate
offices. The provisions made in 1996 for losses on sublease or lease
cancellation of this space have, in aggregate, not been materially different
from the actual costs incurred in disposal of the excess space.
Engineering, Construction and Consulting
The Company's Engineering, Construction and Consulting segment reported revenue
of $287.1 in the first quarter of 1998, a decrease of 16.7 percent from the
$344.7 million reported for the same period last year. The decrease in revenue
is primarily attributable to lower procurement costs on lump sum contracts in
the Power Division and lower workload in the Industrial Division. The decrease
was partially offset by revenue from Belmont Constructors Company, Inc. ("BCI"),
the assets of which the Company acquired in the first quarter of 1998. Operating
income was $11.0 for the first quarter of 1998 compared to $10.0 million in the
first quarter of 1997. The increase in operating income was due primarily to the
favorable results of the Company's Power Division and, as previously discussed,
the $3.1 million gain on the sale of its Cherry Hill, New Jersey, office
building. These items were partially offset by a decrease in operating income
from the Process Division due to the suspension of the Trans-Pacific
Petrochemical Indotama ("TPPI") project in Indonesia. The TPPI project is
anticipated to start beyond the end of this calendar year pending resolution of
financial issues by TPPI. With the continuation of the financial instability in
Asia, the Company has taken action to reduce overhead and has reorganized the
Process Division.
New orders for the Engineering, Construction and Consulting segment for the
first quarter were $226.5 compared with $649.9 million in 1997. The decrease in
new orders reflects the slowdown in the Asian economies that began in the second
half of 1997. Major new awards for the quarter include engineering and
procurement for a $125 million power plant in Vietnam and a contract to provide
engineering, procurement, construction and management services for a 2.8 billion
pound per year ethylene plant in Canada. The ethylene project will be undertaken
by the recently formed Stone & Webster/Fluor Daniel Petrochemical Joint Venture.
Backlog for the quarter, which included the TPPI project at $0.5 billion,
remained constant at $2.5 billion compared to December 31, 1997 and was down
from $2.8 billion one year ago.
Orders and backlog for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 were (in
thousands):
Three Months
Ended March 31,
1998 1997
----------- -----------
Beginning backlog $2,519,302 $2,487,552
Orders 226,479 649,935
Backlog acquired (BCI) 59,944 -
Revenue (287,097) (344,686)
----------- -----------
Ending backlog $2,518,628 $2,792,801
----------- -----------
Cold Storage And Related Activities
The Company's Cold Storage segment reported operating income of $2.3 million and
revenue of $6.9 million for the quarter, compared to $1.2 million and $4.8
million for the quarter ended March 31, 1997. The improvement in Cold Storage is
the result of expansion in the customer base coupled with increased volume from
existing customers.
General and Administrative Expenses, Other Income (Expenses) and Income Taxes
General and administrative expenses were $16.1 million compared to $17.1 million
in 1997. Interest income, net of interest expense, for the quarter was $0.8
million compared to $0.4 million in 1997. The decrease in general and
administrative expenses is primarily attributable to lower occupancy costs
resulting from the Company's divestiture of unused office space. The increase in
other income is from interest on a note receivable. The note was received
through the sale of an office building in the fourth quarter of 1997. During the
three months ended March 31, 1998, the tax rate increased in accordance with the
expected annual earnings mix among domestic and international subsidiaries and
in 1997 the Company utilized a foreign net operating loss carryforward that was
fully utilized by the end of the year.
Financial Condition
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $34.1 million during the first three
months of 1998. Net cash used for operating activities of $67.6 reflected a
decrease in operating working capital (which consists of accounts receivable and
costs and revenues recognized in excess of billings less accounts payable and
billings in excess of costs and revenues recognized) and payments of purchase
commitments or open existing contracts and the start-up of several new
contracts. Net cash provided by investing activities of $37.3 million reflects
maturities of U.S. Government securities and proceeds from the sale of its
Cherry Hill, New Jersey, office building offset by purchases of fixed assets
used in the Company's operations. Net cash used for financing activities of $3.8
million reflects the payment of dividends, repayment of long-term debt and
purchases of common stock under the Company's ongoing share repurchase program
as explained in Note H to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Total
debt was $23.9 million at March 31,1998, compared to $24.3 million at year-end
1997.
As of March 31, 1998, the cash and government securities balance was $40.9
million compared with $106.9 million at December 31, 1997.
The Company believes that the types of businesses in which it is engaged require
that it maintain a strong financial condition. The Company has on hand and has
access to sufficient sources of funds to meet its anticipated operating,
dividend and capital expenditure needs. Cash on hand and temporary investments
provide adequate operating liquidity. Additional liquidity is provided through
lines of credit and revolving credit facilities which total $33.7 million. At
March 31, 1998, there were no amounts outstanding under these facilities.
Other Accounting Matters
The Company is in the process of evaluating and upgrading its computer
applications to ensure their functionality with respect to the "year 2000"
millennium change. At present, the Company does not anticipate that material
incremental costs will be incurred in any single future year.
In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments
of an Enterprise and Related Information." This Statement specifies new
guidelines for determining a company's operating segments and related
requirements for disclosure. The Company is in the process of evaluating the
impact of the new standard on the presentation of the financial statements and
the disclosures therein. The Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning
after December 15, 1997. The Company will adopt the new standard for the fiscal
year ending December 31, 1998.
In February 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits." This Statement revises employers' disclosures about pension and other
postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the measurement or recognition
of those plans. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 1997. The Company will adopt the new standard for the fiscal year
ending December 31, 1998.
Forward-Looking Information
Any of the statements or comments in this Form 10-Q that refer to the Company's
estimated or future results are forward-looking and reflect the Company's
current analysis of existing trends and information. The Company cautions that a
variety of factors including, but not limited to, the following could cause
business conditions and results to differ materially from what is contained in
forward-looking statements: changes in the rate of economic growth in the United
States and other major international economies, changes in investment by the
energy, power and environmental industries, the uncertain timing of awards and
contracts, changes in regulatory environment, changes in project schedules,
changes in trade, monetary and fiscal policies worldwide, currency fluctuations,
outcomes of pending and future litigation, protection and validity of patents
and other intellectual property rights, and increasing competition by foreign
and domestic companies and other risks detailed from time to time in the
Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

long-term debt (excluding current portion) totaling approximately $22.1
million, principally in connection with a mortgage relating to real
property for a subsidiary's office building and in connection with
capitalized lease commitments for the acquisition of certain office
equipment. None of these agreements are filed herewith because the
amount of indebtedness authorized under each such agreement does not
exceed 10 percent of the total assets of the registrant and its
subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; the registrant hereby undertakes
to furnish copies of such agreements to the Commission upon request.
