NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – UNAUDITED

April 1, 2011

(continued)

 

Basis of Presentation

Unless the context otherwise requires:

 

   

References herein to “Jacobs” are to Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. and its predecessors;

 

   

References herein to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” are to Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries; and

 

   

References herein to the “Group” are to the combined economic interests and activities of the Company and the persons and entities holding noncontrolling interests in our consolidated subsidiaries.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and financial information included herein have been prepared pursuant to the interim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Consequently, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. Readers of this report should also read our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 1, 2010 (“2010 Form 10-K”) as well as Item 7—Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also included in our 2010 Form 10-K.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements at April 1, 2011 and for the three and six month periods ended April 1, 2011 and April 2, 2010.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing this Form 10-Q with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to the end of the second fiscal quarter, the Company acquired an office building located in Houston, Texas. The office building was previously leased by the Company and continues to be used in its operations. Also subsequent to the end of the second fiscal quarter, the Company completed the acquisition of Aker Projects (Shanghai) Company Limited (this transaction occurred in connection with the Aker Solutions ASA transaction discussed below). The total cash paid in connection with these two transactions totaled approximately $79.1 million.

Our interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.

New Accounting Standards

In June 2009, the FASB revised the accounting for variable interest entities (“VIEs”). These revisions require the Company to perform an analysis to determine whether it is the primary beneficiary of its VIEs. The Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE if it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The revisions adopted by the FASB eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE and significantly enhances disclosures. The new accounting requirements became effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal 2011. The adoption of this revised standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Business Combinations

Acquisitions of TechTeam, Sula, DSWA, Magellan Consulting, and Alpha Telecom

In October 2010, we acquired TechTeam Government Solutions, Inc. (“TechTeam”), formerly a wholly-owned subsidiary of TechTeam Global, Inc. TechTeam is a 500-person information technology (“IT”) solutions company that provides support to U.S. federal, state and local government agencies, including the United States Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Army and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The firm’s core competencies include systems integration, enterprise application integration, ERP implementation support, IT infrastructure support, network operations management, and call center operations. The primary purpose for acquiring TechTeam was to expand the Company’s IT, modeling, and simulation services capabilities with the U.S. federal government.

Also in October 2010, we acquired Sula Systems Ltd (“Sula”), a 70-person professional services firm headquartered in Gloucestershire, England. Founded in 1996, Sula provides systems engineering and technical services on large, complex programs and projects to clients in the United Kingdom’s defense and aerospace markets. Sula is also involved in a number of major defense programs in areas such as armored vehicles, complex weapons, test and evaluation, submarine nuclear propulsion, and capability and network level systems engineering. Sula also provides services relating to civil airliners and space-based subsystems. The primary purpose for acquiring Sula was to expand the Company’s position in the defense and aerospace markets.

In December 2010, we acquired the assets of Damon S. Williams Associates, L.L.C. (“DSWA”). DSWA is a 50 person professional services firm headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona specializing in water and wastewater facilities, with expertise in planning, design, construction administration and operations services.

Also in December 2010 we acquired the assets of two other niche firms (i) Magellan Consulting which provides services to clients in the education market, and (ii) Alpha Telecom Services Company which provides services to clients in the telecommunications industry.

The results of operations of the acquired businesses have been included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations commencing with the dates control of the acquired businesses were obtained.

The above acquisitions were not material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements at April 1, 2011 and for the three and six month periods ended April 1, 2011.

The Aker Solutions ASA Transaction

On February 1, 2011, the Company acquired certain operations within the process and construction business of Aker Solutions ASA. We believe this acquisition will significantly expand Jacobs’ global presence in the mining and metals market; provide a new geographic region with South America; and strengthen Jacobs’ presence in China and Australia. Jacobs’ regional presence in Europe and North America will also be enhanced as a result of this acquisition. The acquisition is expected to be modestly accretive to earnings in fiscal 2011.

The purchase price was $675.0 million plus approximately $238.0 million representing a preliminary estimate of cash and working capital acquired. At closing, the Company funded approximately $877.3 million (representing the purchase price per the share purchase agreement (“SPA”) less adjustments for (i) certain transactions specified in the SPA, and (ii) the

purchase price for an entity located in China, which did not close until after the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2011). The acquisition was financed through a combination of cash-on-hand and borrowings under a number of new, bilateral credit facilities with major U.S. and European banks. The results of operations of the Aker Entities have been included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations commencing with the date control of the entities was obtained.

The following table presents the unaudited, pro forma consolidated results of operations for each of the three and six month periods ended April 1, 2011 and April 2, 2010 as if the acquisition of the Aker Solutions’ P&C operations had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2010. These pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of (i) the results of operations that would have occurred had the Aker Solutions’ P&C operations actually been acquired at the beginning of fiscal 2010; and (ii) future results of operations (in thousands):

   $ 370,648   
        

The Company expects to collect substantially all of the acquired receivables of $129.3 million.

The SPA includes a net cash adjustment and working capital adjustment (as defined). The net cash and working capital of the businesses acquired at closing will be compared to reference amounts as specified in the SPA. If the net cash and working capital acquired exceeds the reference amounts by more than $25 million, then the Company must pay such excess to the seller; and if the reference amounts for net cash and working capital exceed the amounts actually acquired by more than $25 million, then the seller must pay such deficiency to the Company. These payments are subject to a cap of $175.8 million. We are in the process of determining any net cash and working capital adjustments.

Claims receivable

   $ 23,379      $ 14,201   
                

Unbilled receivables represent reimbursable costs and amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts in progress as of the respective balance sheet dates. Such amounts become billable according to the contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones or completion of the project. We anticipate that substantially all of such unbilled amounts will be billed and collected over the next twelve months.

Claims receivable are included in “Receivables” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and represent costs incurred on contracts to the extent it is probable that such claims will result in additional contract revenue and the amount of such additional revenue can be reliably estimated.

Revenue Accounting for Contracts / Accounting for Joint Ventures

In general, we recognize revenues at the time we provide services. Depending on the commercial terms of the contract, we recognize revenues either when costs are incurred, or using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting by relating contract costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion. Contract losses are provided for in their entirety in the period they become known, without regard to the percentage-of-completion.

The nature of our business sometimes results in clients, subcontractors or vendors presenting claims to us for recovery of costs they incurred in excess of what they expected to incur, or for which they believe they are not contractually responsible. In those situations where a claim against us may result in additional costs to the contract, we include in the total estimated costs of the contract (and therefore, the estimated amount of margin to be earned under the contract) an estimate, based on all relevant facts and circumstances available, of the additional costs to be incurred. Similarly, and in the normal course of business, we may present claims to our clients for costs we have incurred for which we believe we are not contractually responsible. With respect to such claims, we include in revenues the amount of costs incurred, without profit, to the extent it is probable that the claims will result in additional contract revenue, and the amount of such additional revenue can be reliably estimated. Costs associated with unapproved change orders are included in revenues using substantially the same criteria used for claims.

Certain cost-reimbursable contracts include incentive-fee arrangements. The incentive fees in such contracts can be based on a variety of factors but the most common are the achievement of target completion dates or target costs, and/or meeting other performance criteria as defined in the contracts. Failure to meet these targets can result in unrealized incentive fees. We recognize incentive fees based on expected results using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. As the contract progresses and more information becomes available, the estimate of the anticipated incentive fee that will be earned is revised as necessary. We bill incentive fees based on the terms and conditions of the individual contracts. In certain situations we are allowed to bill a portion of the incentive fees over the performance period of the contract. In other situations, we are allowed to bill incentive fees only after the target criterion has been achieved. Incentive fees which have been recognized but not billed are included in receivables in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Certain cost-reimbursable contracts with government customers as well as certain commercial clients provide that contract costs are subject to audit and adjustment. In this

situation, revenues are recorded at the time services are performed based upon the amounts we expect to realize upon completion of the contracts. Revenues are not recognized for non-recoverable costs. In those situations where an audit indicates that we may have billed a client for costs not allowable under the terms of the contract, we estimate the amount of such nonbillable costs and adjust our revenues accordingly.

As is common to the industry, we execute certain contracts jointly with third parties through various forms of joint ventures and consortiums.

Very few of our joint ventures have employees. Although the joint ventures own and hold the contracts with the clients, the services required by the contracts are typically performed by us and our joint venture partners, or by other subcontractors under subcontracting agreements with the joint ventures. The assets of our joint ventures, therefore, consist almost entirely of cash and receivables (representing amounts due from clients), and the liabilities of our joint ventures consist almost entirely of amounts due to the joint venture partners (for services provided by the partners to the joint ventures under their individual subcontracts) and other subcontractors. In general, at any given time, the equity of our joint ventures represents the undistributed profits earned on contracts the joint ventures hold with clients. None of our joint ventures have third-party debt or credit facilities. Our joint ventures, therefore, are simply mechanisms used to deliver engineering and construction services to clients. Rarely do they, in and of themselves, present any risk of loss to us or to our partners separate from those that we would carry if we were performing the contract on our own. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, our share of losses associated with the contracts held by the joint ventures, if and when they occur, has always been reflected in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

On October 2, 2010 the Company adopted the FASB’s new accounting guidance relating to the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIE”). This guidance replaces the quantitative-based assessment for determining which enterprise has a controlling interest in a VIE with an approach that is now primarily qualitative. The Company has reassessed its VIEs using the new guidance. The adoption of this new guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In evaluating the Company’s VIEs we perform a qualitative analysis to determine whether or not the Company has a “controlling financial interest” in the VIE. The Company is deemed to have a controlling financial interest in a VIE if it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs economic performance; and (ii) the right to receive benefits, or obligation to absorb losses, that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

In making our qualitative analysis the Company assesses each VIE to determine those activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and whether the Company, another entity, or multiple entities have the power to direct those activities.

If we determine that we have the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE and to receive benefits or absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE then we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, and we consolidate the VIE. If we determine that we do not have the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE or power is shared by two or more parties then we are not the primary beneficiary and we do not consolidate the VIE.

For the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, we use the equity method of accounting. The Company does not currently participate in any significant VIEs in which it has a controlling financial interest.

There were no changes in facts and circumstances in the quarter that caused the Company to reassess the method of accounting for our VIEs.

When we are directly responsible for subcontractor labor or third-party materials and equipment, we reflect the costs of such items in both revenues and costs. On those projects where the client elects to pay for such items directly and we have no associated responsibility for such items, these amounts are not reflected in either revenues or costs.

Overview

On February 1, 2011, the Company acquired certain operations within the process and construction business of Aker Solutions ASA. The Company’s results of operations for the three and six months ended April 1, 2011 include two months of the acquired businesses (the “Aker Entities”). The Aker Entities contributed approximately $172.4 million of revenues, $29.5 million of selling, general and administrative expenses (which includes approximately $3.5 million of due diligence and integration costs), and net earnings of $5.3 million or $0.04 per diluted share for the second quarter of fiscal 2011.

Included in the Company’s results of operations for the six months ended April 2, 2010 is an after-tax charge of $5.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, related to the Company ceasing use of one of its offices located in Houston, Texas, and entering into a sublease for the entire property.

Results of Operations

Net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2011 ended April 1, 2011 totaled $80.3 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, compared to $77.5 million, of $0.62 per diluted share, for the second quarter of fiscal 2010.

For the six months ended April 1, 2011, net earnings totaled $146.1 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, compared to $149.9 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, for the six months ended April 2, 2010.

Total revenues for the quarter ended April 1, 2011 were $2.6 billion, substantially unchanged from the corresponding period last year. Total revenues for the six months ended April 1, 2011 were $4.9 billion, compared to $5.1 billion for the corresponding period last year.

For the three and six months ended April 1, 2011, Project Services revenues increased by 15.9% and 8.3%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods last year. Most of these increases were due to revenues earned by the Aker Entities.

For the three and six months ended April 1, 2011, Construction services revenues decreased by 23.5% and 21.7%, respectively, compared to the corresponding periods last year. Contributing to the declines in Construction services revenues is the winding-down of one large project in the energy & refining-downstream market combined with a reduction in pass-through costs (discussed below).

For the three and six months ended April 1, 2011, revenues from O&M services increased 22.0% and 26.3%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods last year. These increases relate primarily to higher O&M activities on projects for the United States federal government (particularly as it relates to government test facilities) and for our clients operating in the Oil & Gas-Upstream and Chemicals and Polymers industries.

The Aker Entities contributed approximately $34.1 million of Field Service revenues for both the three and six months ended April 1, 2011.

For the three and six months ended April 1, 2011, revenues from clients operating in the Infrastructure market were 47.7% and 42.0% higher, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods last year. Contributing to these increases were higher Project Services revenues for various transportation projects and revenues earned from the Aker Entities. For the three and six months ended April 1, 2011, revenues from clients operating in the Buildings market were 9.2% and 13.0% higher, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods last year. Contributing to these increases was higher Project Services revenues on a number of buildings projects including those for several government agencies within the United States.

Revenues earned on projects classified as Industrial and Other for the three and six months ended April 1, 2011 increased significantly as compared to the corresponding periods last year. The Aker Entities contributed approximately $114.6 million of this category’s revenues in fiscal 2011 (specifically, for clients operating in the mining and metals industries). Also contributing to this increase are revenues earned from other mining and metals clients.

Direct costs of contracts for the three months ended April 1, 2011 decreased $55.0 million, or 2.5%, to $2.17 billion as compared to $2.22 billion for the corresponding period last year. Direct costs of contracts for the six months ended April 1, 2011 decreased $158.4 million, or 3.6%, to $4.19 billion as compared to $4.35 billion for the corresponding period last year. The level of direct costs of contracts may fluctuate between reporting periods due to a variety of

factors including the amount of pass-through costs we incur during a period. On those projects where we are responsible for subcontract labor or third-party materials and equipment, we reflect the amounts of such items in both revenues and costs (and we refer to such items as “pass-through costs”). On other projects, where the client elects to pay for such items directly and we have no associated responsibility for such items, these amounts are not considered pass-through costs and are, therefore, not reflected in either revenues or costs. To the extent that we incur a significant amount of pass-through costs in a period, our direct cost of contracts are likely to increase as well.

For the three and six months ended April 1, 2011, pass-through costs decreased $180.7 million and $373.1 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods last year. In general, pass-through costs are more significant on projects that have a higher content of field services activities. Pass-through costs are generally incurred at a specific point in the lifecycle of a project and are highly dependent on the needs of our individual clients and the nature of the clients’ projects. However, because we have hundreds of projects which start at various times within a fiscal year, the effect of pass-through costs on the level of direct costs of contracts can vary between fiscal years without there being a fundamental or significant change to the underlying business.

As a percentage of revenues, direct costs of contracts for the three and six months ended April 1, 2011 was 84.8% and 85.3%, respectively. This compares to 86.0% and 85.9%, respectively, for the three and six months ended April 2, 2010. The relationship between direct costs of contracts and revenues will fluctuate between reporting periods depending on a variety of factors including the mix of business during the reporting periods being compared as well as the level of margins earned from the various types of services provided. Generally speaking, the more procurement we do on behalf of our clients (i.e., where we purchase equipment and materials for use on projects, and/or procure subcontracts in connection with projects) and the more field services revenues we have relative to technical, professional services revenues, the higher the direct cost of contracts percentage will be. Because revenues from pass-through costs typically have lower margin rates associated with them, it is not unusual for us to experience an increase or decrease in such revenues without experiencing a corresponding increase or decrease in our gross margins and operating profit.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the second quarter ended April 1, 2011 totaled $261.2 million compared to $241.2 million for the corresponding period last year. For the six months ended April 1, 2010, SG&A expenses totaled $488.6 million compared to $476.9 million for the corresponding period last year. Excluding the SG&A expenses for the six months ended April 1, 2011 relating to the Aker Entities and to the Company’s acquisition and integration activities, and excluding the effects of the Houston sublease from the SG&As expenses of the corresponding period last year, SG&A expenses for the current six-month period decreased approximately $17.3 million as compared to the corresponding period last year.

Interest expense for the three and six months ended April 1, 2011 increased $2.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods last year. The increase in interest expense was due primarily to the increased debt incurred in connection with the acquisition of the Aker Entities.

Backlog Information

We include in backlog the total dollar amount of revenues we expect to record in the future as a result of performing work under contracts that have been awarded to us. Because of the nature, size, expected duration, funding commitments, and the scope of services required by our contracts, the timing of when backlog will be recognized as revenues can vary greatly between individual contracts. Our policy with respect to O&M contracts, however, is to include

in backlog the amount of revenues we expect to receive for one succeeding year, regardless of the remaining life of the contract. For national government programs (other than national government O&M contracts), our policy is to include in backlog the full contract award, whether funded or unfunded, and exclude option periods.

In accordance with industry practice, substantially all of our contracts are subject to cancellation or termination at the option of the client. In a situation where a client terminates a contract, we typically are entitled to receive payment for work performed up to the date of termination and, in certain instances, we may be entitled to allowable termination and cancellation costs. While management uses all information available to it to determine backlog, our backlog at any given time is subject to changes in the scope of services to be provided as well as increases or decreases in costs relating to the contracts included therein.

Because certain contracts (for example, contracts relating to large engineering, procurement, and construction projects as well as national government programs) can cause large increases to backlog in the fiscal period in which we recognize the award, and because many of our contracts require us to provide services that span over a number of fiscal quarters (and sometimes over fiscal years), we evaluate our backlog on a year-over-year basis, rather than on a sequential, quarter-over-quarter basis.

The following table summarizes our backlog at April 1, 2011 and April 2, 2010 (in millions):

 

     2011      2010  

Technical professional services

   $ 8,669.4       $ 8,299.3   

Field services

     5,336.5         6,354.3   
                 

Total

   $ 14,005.9       $ 14,653.6   
                 

Our backlog decreased $647.7 million, or 4.4%, to $14.0 billion at April 1, 2011 from $14.7 billion at April 2, 2010. Backlog at April 1, 2011 includes approximately $634.3 million of backlog relating to the Aker Entities. Also included in backlog at April 1, 2011 are new awards from clients operating in the Oil & Gas-Upstream, basic resources, and the semiconductor industries.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At April 1, 2011, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $747.9 million of cash and cash equivalents, and $251.0 million of available borrowing capacity under our $290.0 million, long-term, unsecured revolving credit facility. We finance as much of our operations and growth as possible through cash generated by our operations.

In addition to our revolving credit facility, we have a short-term credit facility which we entered into in fiscal 2009 in connection with our acquisition of a one-third interest in AWE Management Ltd of which $54.4 million was outstanding at April 1, 2011. In connection with the acquisition of the Aker Entities described above, we entered into several new bilateral credit facilities with major U.S. and European banks. Approximately $369.1 million was outstanding under these facilities at April 1, 2011.

During the first six months of fiscal 2011, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $190.9 million to $747.9 million at April 1, 2011. This compares to a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $194.6 million, to $839.1 million, during the corresponding period last year. During the six months ended April 1, 2011, we used $632.5 million of cash and cash equivalents for investing activities. This cash outflow was offset in part by net cash inflows of $77.0 million from operating activities and $364.5 million from financing activities.

Our operations provided net cash of $77.0 million during the six months ended April 1, 2011. This compares to net cash inflows of $117.2 million for the corresponding period last year. The $40.1 million decrease in cash provided by operations for the six months ended April 1, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period last year was due primarily to a $37.3 million decrease relating to changes in our working capital accounts (discussed below).

With respect to the $37.3 million decrease in cash flows relating to changes in our working capital accounts, there was no unusual activity occurring in these accounts during the six months ended April 1, 2011.

Because such a high percentage of our revenues are earned on cost-plus type contracts, and due to the significance of revenues relating to pass-through costs, most of the costs we incur are included in invoices we send to clients. Although we continually monitor our accounts receivable, we manage the operating cash flows of the Company by managing the working capital accounts in total, rather than by the individual elements. The primary elements of the Company’s working capital accounts are accounts receivable, accounts payable, and billings in excess of cost. Accounts payable consists of obligations to third parties relating primarily to costs incurred for projects which are generally billable to clients. Accounts receivable consist of billings to our clients — a substantial portion of which is for project-related costs. Billings in excess of cost consist of billings to and payments from our clients for costs yet to be incurred.

This relationship between revenues and costs, and between receivables and payables is unique for our industry, and facilitates review at the total working capital level. The $37.3 million decrease in cash flows relating to changes in our working capital accounts was due simply to the timing of cash receipts and payments within our working capital accounts and is not indicative of any known trend or fundamental change to the underlying business.

We used $632.5 million of cash and cash equivalents for investing activities during the six months ended April 1, 2011 as compared to $406.1 million during the corresponding period last year. The $226.4 million increase in cash used for investing activities for the six months ended April 1, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period last year was due to increased business acquisition activity.

During the six months ended April 1, 2011, we acquired certain operations within the process and construction business of Aker Solutions ASA. We also acquired TechTeam Government Solutions, Inc., Sula Systems Ltd., Damon S. Williams Associates, L.L.C., and two other smaller niche engineering and design firms.

Our financing activities resulted in net cash inflows of $364.5 million during the six months ended April 1, 2011. This compares to net cash inflows of $92.8 million during the corresponding period last year. The $271.7 million net increase in cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended April 1, 2011 as compared to the corresponding period last year was due primarily to the financing of the acquisition of the Aker Entities.

We believe we have adequate liquidity and capital resources to fund our operations, support our acquisition strategy, and service our debt for the next twelve months. We had $747.9 million in cash and cash equivalents at April 1, 2011, compared to $938.8 million at October 1, 2010. Our consolidated working capital position at April 1, 2011 was $1.4 billion, a decrease of $80.4 million from October 1, 2010. We have a long-term, unsecured, revolving credit facility providing up to $290.0 million of debt capacity, under which approximately $39.0 million was utilized at April 1, 2011 in the form of direct borrowings and letters of credit. We believe that the capacity, terms and conditions of our long-term revolving credit facility, combined with other committed and uncommitted facilities we have in place, are adequate for our working capital and general business requirements.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading, speculation or other purposes that would expose us to market risk. As more fully discussed below and in Item 1A—Risk Factors of our 2010 Form 10-K (beginning on page 19 thereto), our results of operations are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

Our primary source for long-term credit is a $290.0 million, long-term, unsecured revolving credit facility. The total amount outstanding under this facility in the form of direct borrowings at April 1, 2011 was $10.2 million. This agreement expires in May 2012, and provides for both fixed-rate and variable-rate borrowings. Our objectives in managing our interest rate risk are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows, and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we continuously monitor changes in interest rates, and use cash provided from operations to re-pay our borrowings as quickly as possible. Furthermore, the Company can use a combination of both fixed rate and variable rate debt to manage our exposure to interest rate risk.

Foreign Currency Risk

In situations where our operations incur contract costs in currencies other than their functional currency, we attempt to have a portion of the related contract revenues denominated in the same currencies as the costs. In those situations where revenues and costs are transacted in different currencies, we sometimes enter into foreign exchange contracts in order to limit our exposure to fluctuating foreign currencies. The Company does not currently have exchange rate sensitive instruments that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of April 1, 2011, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the “Evaluation Date”). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 1, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

In the normal course of business, we are subject to certain contractual guarantees and litigation. The guarantees to which we are a party generally relate to project schedules and plant performance. Most of the litigation in which we are involved has us as a defendant in workers’ compensation; personal injury; environmental; employment/labor; professional liability; and other similar lawsuits.

We maintain insurance coverage for various aspects of our business and operations. We have elected, however, to retain a portion of losses that occur through the use of various deductibles, limits, and retentions under our insurance programs. This situation may subject us to some future liability for which we are only partially insured, or completely uninsured. We intend to mitigate any such future liability by continuing to exercise prudent business judgment in negotiating the terms and conditions of our contracts.

Additionally, as a contractor providing services to the United States federal government and several of its agencies, we are subject to many levels of audits, investigations, and claims by, or on behalf of, the U.S. federal government with respect to our contract performance, pricing, costs, cost allocations, and procurement practices. Furthermore, our income, franchise, and similar tax returns and filings are also subject to audit and investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, most states within the United States as well as by various government agencies representing jurisdictions outside the United States.

We record in our Consolidated Balance Sheets amounts representing our estimated liability relating to such claims, guarantees, litigation, and audits and investigations. We perform an analysis to determine the level of reserves to establish for insurance-related claims that are known and have been asserted against us, and for insurance-related claims that are believed to have been incurred based on actuarial analysis, but have not yet been reported to our claims administrators as of the respective balance sheet dates. We include any adjustments to such insurance reserves in our consolidated results of operations.

Management believes, after consultation with counsel, that such guarantees, litigation, United States government contract-related audits, investigations and claims, and income tax audits and investigations should not have any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.

On August 1, 2007 the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota suffered a tragic collapse. The bridge was designed and built in the early 1960’s. Sverdrup & Parcel and Associates, Inc. (“Sverdrup & Parcel”) provided design services to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (“MnDOT”) on the bridge. Sverdrup & Parcel was a predecessor company to Sverdrup Corporation, a company acquired by Jacobs in 1999. Several lawsuits have been filed against a consultant who had been providing engineering analyses of the bridge prior to its collapse, and against a contractor who was providing maintenance and construction work on the bridge at the time of its collapse. No lawsuits have been filed directly against the Company by any of the primary plaintiffs. The consultant and the contractor have filed suit against the Company claiming that the Company was liable for negligent design services by Sverdrup & Parcel, and against MnDOT claiming that MnDOT had an obligation to inspect, maintain and repair the bridge and that it failed to do so. MnDOT filed a suit against the Company, the consultant, and the contractor claiming that it is entitled to be indemnified for amounts that it paid out under its Victims Compensation Fund, and demanding that the Company share in the $37 million that MnDOT has paid to settle with the primary plaintiffs.

The contractor’s suit against the Company has been dismissed without any compensation being paid by the Company. We understand that the consultant has settled all of the plaintiffs’ and MnDOT’s claims against it. We understand that the contractor has settled all of the plaintiffs’ and MnDOT’s claims against it. The consultant’s suit against the Company demands the Company share in the $52 million that the consultant has paid to settle with the primary plaintiffs. The Company’s motions to dismiss the claims against it by the consultant and MnDOT based on the State Statute of Repose and other basis were denied by the trial court. The Company filed an appeal. The appellate court reversed the trial court and granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the consultant’s claim. The consultant petitioned the Minnesota Supreme Court to grant review. The appellate court upheld the trial court’s decision denying the Company’s motion to dismiss MnDOT’s claim. The Company petitioned the Minnesota Supreme Court to grant review. The Minnesota Supreme court granted the petition for review in both matters. Oral argument was held on April 11, 2011. The Company does not expect this matter to have any material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.
