NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.   General

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments which are necessary to present fairly ABM Industries Incorporated and subsidiaries (the Company) financial position as of January 31, 2003 and the results of operations and cash flows for the three months then ended. These adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.

     These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2002, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2.   Stock-Based Compensation – Adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 148

     In December 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure.” SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” to provide for alternative methods of transition to SFAS No. 123 and amends disclosure provisions. The Statement is effective for financial statements for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2002. The Company continues to account for stock-based employee compensation plans using the intrinsic value method under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” but has adopted the disclosure provisions of SFAS 148 effective November 1, 2002. APB Opinion No. 25 generally does not result in compensation cost because the exercise price of the options is equal to the fair value of the stock at the grant date. Under the intrinsic value method, if the fair value of the stock is greater than the exercise price at grant date, the excess is amortized to compensation expense over the estimated service life of the recipient. No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income for the quarters ended January 31, 2003 and 2002 as all options granted had an exercise price equal to the market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 to all employee options granted, modified, or settled after October 31, 1995 using

3.   Treasury Stock

     On September 16, 2001, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the purchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding stock at any time through December 31, 2001. On December 17, 2001, the Board of Directors extended this authorization until December 31, 2002. On December 10, 2002, the Board of Directors extended this authorization through January 31, 2003. As of October 31, 2002, the Company had purchased 1,400,000 shares at a cost of $23,632,000 (an average price per share of $16.88). In the three months ended January 31, 2003, the Company purchased the remaining 600,000 shares at a cost of $9,297,000 (an average price per share of $15.50).

     On March 11, 2003, the Company’s Board of Directors further authorized the purchase of up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s outstanding stock at any time through December 31, 2003.

4.   Revenue Presentation - Adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 01-14

     In January 2002, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) released Issue No. 01-14, “Income Statement Characterization of Reimbursements Received for Out-of-Pocket Expenses Incurred,” which the Company adopted in fiscal 2002. For the Company’s Parking segment this pronouncement requires both revenues and expenses be recognized, in equal amounts, for costs directly reimbursed from its managed parking lot clients. Previously, expenses directly

reimbursed under managed parking lot agreements were netted against the reimbursement received. EITF No. 01-14 did not change the income statement presentation of revenues and expenses of any other segments. Amounts have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of these reimbursed expenses in all prior periods presented. Adoption of the pronouncement resulted in an increase in total revenues and total costs and expenses in equal amounts of $53,705,000 and $51,576,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. This presentation change had no impact on operating profits or net income.

5.   Goodwill and Other Intangibles

     The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill (in thousands) for the three months ended January 31, 2003 are as follows (acquisitions are discussed in Note 9):

     As of January 31, 2003 and October 31, 2002, all intangible assets other than goodwill, consisting principally of contract rights with a net book value of $4,030,000 and $4,059,000, respectively, were included in other assets and are being amortized over the contract periods. Amortization expense for intangible assets other than goodwill was $262,000 and $263,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively. The remaining amortization period for intangible assets other than goodwill ranges from 11 months to 14 years. The weighted average remaining life is 8 years.
