KSW, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1.  
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

KSW, Inc. and its subsidiary, KSW Mechanical Services, Inc., together the “Company”, furnishes and installs heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems and process piping systems for institutional, industrial, commercial, high-rise residential and public works projects, primarily in the State of New York.  The Company also serves as a mechanical trade manager, performing project management services relating to the mechanical trades.  The Company considers itself to operate as one operating segment.

The unaudited consolidated financial statements presented herein have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These consolidated statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments of normal recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2011, and its results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.  Because of the possible fluctuations in the marketplace in the construction industry, operating results of the Company on a quarterly basis may not be indicative of operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2011.

2.  
Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company in preparing its consolidated financial statements are set forth in Note 2 to the  consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  The Company has made no significant changes to these policies during 2011.

The Company follows accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, commonly referred to as the “FASB.”  The FASB sets generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) that the Company follows to ensure its consistent reporting of financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows.

3. 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following disclosures of estimated fair value were determined by management, using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies.  Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair values.

Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments.  The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Cash equivalents, marketable securities, receivables, payables and other amounts arising out of normal contract activities, including retentions, which may be settled beyond one year, reasonably approximate their fair values.

The fair value of the Company’s mortgage payable, which is not traded in the market, is estimated by considering the Company’s credit rating, current rates available to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturity and the terms of the debt.

Disclosure about fair value of financial instruments is based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2011.

4. 
Marketable Securities

FASB ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements”, established a broad three level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs which are used to measure fair value.

The Company values short-term investments, mutual funds and marketable equity securities using market prices on active markets, which is Level 1 of the FASB ASC 820-10 fair value hierarchy.  Level 1 instrument valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets.

Financial assets carried at fair value at March 31, 2011 are classified in the table below in one of three broad categories.

   
Level 1

5. 
Joint Venture

During the third quarter of 2009, a Joint Venture in which the Company and Five Star Electric Corporation each have a 50 percent ownership interest was awarded a $46 million contract for the construction of a chiller plant at the World Trade Center site.

 
9

 
 
The work covered by the Joint Venture is made up of three components, (1) a mechanical segment performed by the Company, (2) an electrical segment performed by the Company’s joint venture partner and (3) a general construction segment.   The Joint Venture has issued three contracts, (1) to the Company to perform the mechanical work, (2) to the Company’s partner to perform the electrical work and (3) to a construction manager to perform the general construction work as an agent for the Joint Venture, on a reimbursable cost plus fee basis.

The Company has provided a guaranteed maximum price for the mechanical segment of the contract, and its joint venture partner has provided a guaranteed maximum price for the electrical segment of the contract. The Company shares joint venture profits/losses derived from the general construction segment equally with its joint venture partner.

If the other partner is unable to complete its contractual obligations, the Company would be fully liable to do so under the Joint Venture’s contract with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.  The Company and its partner are also jointly and severally liable to the bonding company that issued the payment and performance bond for the Joint Venture.  Circumstances that could lead to a loss under the joint venture agreement beyond the Company’s stated ownership interest include the other partner’s inability to contribute additional funds to the Joint Venture in the event the project incurs a loss, additional costs that the Company could incur should the partner fail to provide the services and resources toward project completion that it committed to provide in the joint venture agreement, and the partner’s failure to pay its subcontractors and suppliers.

The Company uses a combination of the proportionate consolidation method and the equity method to account for its interest in the Joint Venture.  The Company  records the assets, liabilities, revenues and costs of revenues associated with the mechanical segment of the contract as gross amounts, in the financial statements (i.e. using the proportionate consolidation method), as it would any other contract with a third party. The Company records its 50% share of the revenues and costs of revenues associated with the general construction segment of the contract as gross amounts in the consolidated statement of income and records its portion of the assets and liabilities as a net amount in the consolidated balance sheet (i.e. using the equity method), under the caption  “Advances to and earnings from joint venture”. The joint venture partner is responsible for the electrical portion of the contract, and the Company is not recognizing any portion of that part of the joint venture contract in its financial statements.

In order to ensure that the Company’s unconsolidated Joint Venture was properly capitalized, the Company and its partner were billing the Joint Venture only for the costs incurred on their respective portions of the joint venture contract. The decision to bill the Joint Venture only for the costs incurred on the project did not have a significant impact on the Company’s liquidity.
 
As the job progresses, and the Joint Venture determines that it will not incur any unaccounted for costs, and is not subject to any significant adjustments between the Joint Venture and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for additional or deleted
 
 
10

 
 
work, the Joint Venture shall make additional distributions to each partner of a portion of the difference between each partner’s adjusted subcontract and the amounts paid to each partner. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company and its joint venture partner have each received an additional distribution of $400,000 in excess of their costs. At final completion, any balance remaining will be distributed.

Since the Company is currently billing the Joint Venture for its costs related to the performance of the mechanical portion of the joint venture contract plus a portion of its profit on this work, this transaction increases amounts the Company records in its consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts”.

As of March 31, 2011, the Joint Venture had cash totaling approximately $4,600,000 no portion of which was included in the Company’s cash balance in the consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011.
 
At March 31, 2011, the Company has recorded the following in its consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Advances to and earnings from joint venture”:

Earnings from joint venture

Stockholders’ Equity

(A)  Stock Option Plans:

The Company has outstanding stock options issued under two plans, the KSW, Inc. 1995 Stock Option Plan (“1995 plan”) and the KSW, Inc. 2007 Stock Option Plan (“2007 plan”).

The 1995 plan expired December 2005.  Therefore, no new options can be granted under that plan.  At March 31, 2011, there were 14,001 outstanding exercisable options, which were previously issued under the 1995 plan, expiring on various dates through 2015.

The 2007 plan was adopted and approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on May 8, 2007 and was approved by the shareholders at the May 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.  Pursuant to the 2007 plan, 300,000 shares of common stock of the Company are reserved for issuance to employees, consultants and directors of the Company.  The primary purpose of the 2007 plan is to reward and retain key employees and to compensate directors.  No options have been issued to officers or employees under the 2007 plan. Under this plan, in 2007, the Company issued to a Company director options to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.95 per share. On May 7, 2009, the Company issued to a Company director options to purchase 20,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.61 per share.  At March 31, 2011, there were 40,000 options outstanding of which 26,666 were vested under the 2007 plan.

 
11

 
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company incurred compensation expense related to the vesting of stock options totaling approximately $2,000. There were no options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2011.

During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Company incurred compensation expense related to the vesting of stock options totaling approximately $6,000.  In addition, an executive and the estate of a former director, exercised an aggregate of 8,000 options during the three months ended March 31, 2010.

As of March 31, 2011, there is approximately $10,000 of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock-based compensation awards.  That cost is expected to be recognized over the next 1.1 years.

Under both plans, options were granted to certain employees, executives and directors at prices equal to the market value of the stock on the dates the options were issued.  The options granted generally have a term of 10 years from the grant date and granted options vest ratably over a three year period.  The fair value of each option is amortized into compensation expense on a straight-line basis between the grant date for the option and each vesting date.  The Company estimates the fair value of all stock option awards as of the date of the grant by applying the Black-Scholes pricing valuation model.  The application of this valuation model involves assumptions that are judgmental and sensitive in the determination of compensation expense which would include the expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, weighted-average expected life of the options and the dividend yield.

Historical information is the primary basis for the selection of the expected volatility, expected dividend yield and the expected lives of options.  The risk free interest rate was selected based upon yields of U.S. Treasury issues with a term equal to the expected life of the option being valued.  Stock option activity for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was as follows:

Exercise Price
   
Weighted Average Remaining Contractual

Commitment and Contingencies

Proposals and Claims.  During the course of its work on construction projects, the Company may incur expenses for work outside the scope of its contractual obligations, for which no acknowledgment of liability exists from the owner or general contractor for such additional work.  These claims may include change proposals for extra work or requests for an equitable adjustment to the Company’s contract price due to unforeseen disruptions to its work. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for the construction industry, until written acknowledgments of the validity of the claims are received, the claims are not recognized in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  No accruals have been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements related to these proposals for which no acknowledgment of liability exists.  While the Company has been generally successful in obtaining a favorable resolution of such claims, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in the future.

ITEM 2. 
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

Revenues

Total revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased by $3,088,000, or 22.9% to $16,548,000, as compared to $13,460,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

As of March 31, 2011 the Company had backlog of approximately $69,225,000.

Approximately $32,000,000 of the March 31, 2011 backlog is not reasonably expected to be completed within the year ending December 31, 2011. New contracts secured during 2011 will increase 2011 revenues.  The amount of backlog not reasonably expected to be completed in the current fiscal year is subject to various uncertainties and risks. The Company is actively seeking new projects to add to its backlog.

During the 2009 third quarter, the Company received awards for chiller plants at the new World Trade Center (awarded to the Company’s Joint Venture) and at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. During 2010, the Company was awarded a contract to provide controlled temperatures to the plaques at the National September 11 Memorial located at the World Trade Center site. These projects began the construction phase during 2010 and contributed to the increased revenues in 2011 as compared to 2010.

Cost of Revenues
 
Cost of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased by $2,773,000, or 23.0% to $14,826,000, as compared to $12,053,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  The increase in cost of revenues for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared to March 31, 2010, was primarily associated with the increased revenues.  Costs of revenues include subcontractor costs, field labor, material, equipment and overhead expenses.  Overhead costs include project supervision and drafting salaries as well as insurance costs.  Higher revenues generally require higher expenditures of costs, but high revenues allow the Company to allocate the cost of project supervision and drafting salaries over multiple projects and more effectively utilize its experienced field labor personnel.

One component of the cost of revenues is steel products such as pipe, valves and fittings which the Company typically installs on its projects.  The Company purchases steel products from local, national and international distributors.  The Company includes allowances in its estimates for future escalations in steel prices due to market conditions. When market conditions indicated a price rise, the Company has in the past entered into agreements locking in prices with its suppliers to purchase steel products at fixed dollar amounts for extended time periods.  When steel product prices do not fluctuate, the Company purchases these products on a price in effect basis.  The current prices for steel are fluctuating, and the Company is attempting to lock in prices for the length of each project, which may or may not be possible.
 
Gross Profit

Gross profit for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $1,722,000, or 10.4% of revenues, as compared to a gross profit of $1,407,000, or 10.5% of revenues, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 increased by $66,000, or 5.3% to $1,302,000, as compared to $1,236,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

This change was primarily a result of an increase in employment costs, partially offset by the Company’s ability to charge a portion of its overhead costs to trade management contracts.

Other Income

Other income for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $7,000, as compared to $21,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  This decrease in other income was primarily a result of a decrease in interest income during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010.

 
15

 
 
Provision for Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $116,000, as compared to the provision for income taxes of $105,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  The effective tax rate during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, was lower than the Company’s statutory tax rate as a result of a reversal during 2011 of a prior year over accrual of taxes.

Net Income

As a result of the above mentioned items, the Company reported net income of $311,000, or $.05 per share-basic and diluted, for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, as compared to reported net income of $87,000, or $.01 per share-basic and diluted, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s principal capital requirement is to fund its work on construction projects.  Projects are billed monthly based on the work performed to date.  These project billings, less a withholding of retention, which is received as the project nears completion, are collectible based on their respective contract terms.  The Company has historically relied primarily on internally generated funds and bank borrowings to finance its operations.  The Company has a line of credit which is subject to certain conditions.  The Company has not relied on bank borrowings to finance its operations since July 2003.

As of March 31, 2011, total cash and cash equivalents was $15,370,000, a $2,326,000 increase from the $13,044,000 reported as of March 31, 2010. As of March 31, 2011, the Company’s Joint Venture had cash totaling approximately $4,600,000, which is not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2011. As of March 31, 2011, marketable securities were $1,651,000, as compared to $2,142,000 reported as of March 31, 2010.

Cash provided by (used in) operations

Net cash provided by operations was $443,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Net cash used in operations was $1,113,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.  Both periods were affected by the funding of projects, the payment of corporate income taxes and executive bonuses.

Cash received from customers includes contract revenues plus the changes in accounts receivable, retainage receivable, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts and billings in excess of estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts less unconsolidated joint venture billings.  Cash received from customers for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased 19.1% as compared to the same period in 2010.  This increase is primarily a result of the increase in contract revenue.  These

 
16

 

increased receipts, as well as interest income, were offset by amounts paid to fund project and selling, general and administrative costs, which include executive bonuses, interest expense and the payment of corporate income taxes.  These items contributed to the increase in cash provided by operations in 2011 as compared to cash used in operations in 2010.

In order to ensure that the Company’s unconsolidated Joint Venture was properly capitalized, the Company and its partner had been billing the Joint Venture only for the costs incurred on their respective portions of the joint venture contract.  The Company believes that this arrangement did not have a significant impact on the Company’s liquidity. During the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the Company and its joint venture partner have each received an additional distribution of $400,000 in excess of their costs.

As the project reaches substantial completion, which is anticipated to occur in the fourth quarter of 2011, and the Joint Venture determines that it will not incur any unaccounted for costs, and is not subject to any significant adjustments between the Joint Venture and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for additional or deleted work, the Joint Venture shall make additional distributions to each partner of a portion of the difference between each partner’s adjusted subcontract and the amounts paid to each partner.  At final completion, any balance remaining will be distributed.

Cash (used in) provided by investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $4,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Net cash provided by investing activities was $415,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. The Company purchased property and equipment totaling $0 and $83,000 and marketable securities totaling $4,000 and $547,000 during the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, the Company had proceeds from the maturing of short-term investments totaling $1,045,000.

Cash (used in) provided by financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $14,000.

Net cash provided by financing activities during the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $4,000.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2010, an executive and the estate of a former director exercised options to purchase an aggregate of 8,000 shares contributing cash proceeds of $12,000 to the Company.

The Company presents excess tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as part of cash flows from financing activities.  Excess tax benefits represent tax benefits related to exercised options in excess of the associated deferred tax assets for such options.  For the quarter ended March 31, 2010, $7,000 of excess tax benefits have been classified as an operating cash outflow and a financing cash inflow.

 
17

 

In addition, the Company repaid principal payments on its mortgage payable totaling $14,000 and $15,000 during the quarters ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

On March 9, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $.10 per share.  At March 31, 2010, the Company accrued $628,000 for this dividend.  This amount was paid on May 24, 2010 and therefore no amounts were included in the cash flows from financing activities in the accompanying consolidated statement of cash flows for the period ended March 31, 2010.

Credit Facility

The Company has a line of credit facility from Bank of America, N.A., which provides borrowings for working capital purposes up to $2,000,000.  This facility expires on March 31, 2012, is secured by the Company’s assets, and is guaranteed by the Company’s subsidiary, KSW Mechanical Services, Inc.  There have been no borrowings against this line of credit.

Advances bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either the bank’s prime lending rate (3.25% at March 31, 2011) or the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) (.24% at March  31, 2011) plus two percent per annum.

Payment may be accelerated by certain events of default such as unfavorable credit factors, the occurrence of a material adverse change in the Company’s business, properties or financial condition, a default in payment on the line, impairment of security, bankruptcy, or the Company ceasing operations or being unable to pay its debts.  The line of credit must be paid in full at the end of the term.

Commitments

The Company currently has no significant capital expenditure commitments.

Surety

On some of its projects, the Company is required to provide a surety bond.  The Company obtains its surety bonds from Federal Insurance Company, a member of Chubb Group of Insurance Companies.  The Company’s ability to obtain bonding, and the amount of bonding required, is solely at the discretion of the surety and is primarily based upon the Company’s net worth, working capital, the number and size of projects under construction and the surety’s relationship with management.  The Company is contingently liable to the surety under a general indemnity agreement.  The Company agrees to indemnify the surety for any payments made on contracts of suretyship, guaranty or indemnity that might result from the Company not having the financial capacity to complete projects.  Management believes the likelihood of the surety having to complete projects is remote.  The contingent liability is the cost of completing all bonded projects, which is an undeterminable amount because it is subject to bidding by third parties.  Management believes that all contingent liabilities will be satisfied by the Company’s performance on the specific bonded contracts

 
18

 

involved.  The surety provides bonding solely at its discretion and the arrangement with the surety is an at-will arrangement subject to termination.

The Company’s bonding limits have been sufficient given the volume and size of the Company’s contracts.  The Company’s surety may require that the Company maintain certain tangible net worth levels, and may require additional guarantees if the Company should desire increased bonding limits.  At March 31, 2011, approximately $9,300,000 of the Company’s backlog of $69,225,000 is bonded.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no material changes in the accounting policies and estimates that the Company considers to be “critical” from those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements contained in this report are not historical facts and constitute “forward-looking statements” (as such term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995).  These forward looking statements generally can be identified as statements that include words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “foresee”, “likely”, “will” or other similar words or phrases.  Such forward-looking statements concerning management’s expectations, strategic objectives, business prospects, anticipated economic performance and financial condition, and other similar matters involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements discussed or implied by such forward-looking statements.  This document describes factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations of the Company.  All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on behalf of the Company are qualified in their entirety by such factors.  Such risks, uncertainties, and other important factors include, among others:  inability to obtain bonding, inability to retain senior management, low labor productivity and shortages of skilled labor, a rise in the price of steel products, economic downturn, cancellation, suspension or delay of projects by customers, reliance on certain customers, competition, inflation, the adverse effect of terrorist concerns and activities on public budgets and insurance costs, the unavailability of private funds for construction, and other various matters, many of which are beyond the Company’s control and other factors as are described in “ Part I, Item 1A.  Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.  Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the document in which they are made.  Other than required by applicable law, the Company disclaims any obligation or undertaking to provide any updates or revisions to any

 
19

 

forward-looking statements to reflect any changes in the Company’s expectations or any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which the forward-looking statements are based.
 
ITEM 3.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company does not utilize futures, options or other derivative instruments other than a completed interest rate swap on its mortgage payable with Bank of America, N.A.  Because the mortgage is a variable rate mortgage, the Company used an interest rate swap instrument to fix the interest rate that the Company pays at 5% over the term of the mortgage.

In addition, as of March 31, 2011, the Company had $1,651,000 of marketable securities.

ITEM 4. 
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

As of March 31, 2011, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on this assessment, management determined that, as of March 31, 2011, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d- 15(f) under the Exchange Act), during the quarter ended March 31, 2011, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1. 
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Company is a party, except:

a. The case of KSW Mechanical Services, Inc. v. Pavarini McGovern, LLC, et. al.,(PMG), Supreme Court, N.Y. County, which is an action to recover KSW’s contract balance of $529,000, plus delay and impact cost of $160,032, from PMG, the construction manager on the 45th Street Hotel project.  PMG and the Owner have been in litigation and in alternative dispute resolution proceedings over monetary issues unrelated to the Company’s work.  The Construction Manager has cited these disputes with the Owner as the basis for failing to pay the Company’s contract balance.  There are at least two companion mechanic’s lien foreclosure actions instituted by other subcontractors.  The Company is a party to these actions because it has also filed a lien.  
 
 
20

 
 
The actions are in the earliest stage and a pending consolidation motion must be decided by the Court before discovery begins.  On April 5, 2011, the Owner filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code.  The Company does not believe that this petition will impede the Company’s action against PMG.  The Company believes that the receivable recorded on its books should be collected.

b. In March 2011, in order to secure its receivable, the Company filed two mechanic’s liens, against two buildings in Brooklyn, N.Y.  Subsequent to these filings, the Company and the Owner of both buildings reached an agreement pursuant to which the Company’s entire booked receivable was paid, and the liens were discharged.
