Forward-Looking Statements and
Non-GAAP Information
Forward-Looking Statements and
Non-GAAP Information
 Fiscal 2011 fourth quarter results are unaudited. This presentation contains “forward-looking statements” which
 are statements relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, and competitive
 environment. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, contained in this presentation, including
 statements regarding our future financial position, future revenue, prospects, plans and objectives of
 management, are forward-looking statements. Words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,”
 “intend,” “forecast,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “project,” “looking ahead” and similar expressions, as well as
 statements in future tense, identify forward looking statements. You should not read forward looking statements
 as a guarantee of future performance or results. They will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or
 at what time such performance or results will be achieved. Forward looking statements are based on
 information available at the time those statements are made and/or management’s good faith belief at that time
 with respect to future events. Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
 performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward looking
 statements. Important factors that could cause such differences include, but are not limited to factors described
 under Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2010,
 and other risks outlined in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission
 (“SEC”). The forward-looking statements in this presentation are expressly qualified in their entirety by this
 cautionary statement. Except as required by law, the Company may not update forward-looking statements
 even though its situation may change in the future.
 This presentation includes certain “Non-GAAP” financial measures as defined by SEC rules. We believe that the
 presentation of certain Non-GAAP financial measures provides information that is useful to investors because it
 allows for a more direct comparison of our performance for the period with our performance in the comparable
 prior-year periods. As required by the SEC we have provided a reconciliation of those measures to the most
 directly comparable GAAP measures on the Regulation G slides included as slides 11 through 14 of this
 presentation. We caution that Non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a
 substitute for, our reported GAAP results.

Appendix: Regulation G Disclosure
  (a) Non-GAAP adjustments in Q4-11 reflect revenues from businesses acquired during Q2-11. The Q4-10 Non-GAAP adjustments reflect the impact of the additional
 week in Q4-10 and are calculated by dividing contract revenues by 14 weeks. The result, representing one week of contract revenues, is subtracted from the GAAP-
 contract revenues to calculate 13 weeks of revenue for Q4-10 on a Non-GAAP basis for comparison purposes.
 (b) Year-over-year growth percentage is calculated as follows: (i) revenues in the quarterly period less (ii) revenues in the comparative prior year quarter period; divided
 by (ii) revenues in the comparative prior year quarter period.
Amounts may not foot due to rounding.

Appendix: Regulation G Disclosure
  (a) Non-GAAP adjustments in Q4-11 reflect storm restoration revenues recognized and revenues from businesses acquired during Q2-11. The Q4-10 Non-GAAP
 adjustments reflect the impact of the additional week in Q4-10 and are calculated by dividing contract revenues by 14 weeks. The result, representing one week of
 contract revenues, is subtracted from the GAAP-contract revenues to calculate 13 weeks of revenue for Q4-10 on a Non-GAAP basis for comparison purposes.
 (b) Year-over-year growth percentage is calculated as follows: (i) revenues in the quarterly period less (ii) revenues in the comparative prior year quarter period; divided
 by (ii) revenues in the comparative prior year quarter period.

Appendix: Regulation G Disclosure
Amounts may not foot due to rounding.
  (a) Non-GAAP adjustments in Q4-11 reflect storm restoration revenues ($9.6 million Top 5 Customers, $4.5 million All Other Customers) and revenues from
 businesses acquired during Q2-11 ($2.9 million Top 5 Customers, $11.2 million All Other Customers). Non-GAAP adjustments in Q3-11 and Q2-11 reflect revenues
 from businesses acquired during Q2-11. Non-GAAP adjustments in Q4-10 result from the Company’s 52/53 week fiscal year. The Q4-10 Non-GAAP adjustments
 reflect the impact of the additional week in Q4-10 and are calculated by dividing contract revenues by 14 weeks. The result, representing one week of contract
 revenues, is subtracted from the GAAP-contract revenues to calculate 13 weeks of revenue for Q4-10 on a Non-GAAP basis for comparison purposes. Non-GAAP
 adjustments in Q3-09, Q2-09, and Q1-09 reflect storm restoration revenues recognized during those periods.
 (b) Year-over-year growth (decline) percentage is calculated as follows: (i) revenues in the quarterly period less (ii) revenues in the comparative prior year quarter
 period; divided by (ii) revenues in the comparative prior year quarter period.

Appendix: Regulation G Disclosure
  The above table presents the Non-GAAP financial measures of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended July 30, 2011 and July 31,
 2010. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are Non-GAAP financial measures within the meaning of Regulation G promulgated by the Securities and
 Exchange Commission.  The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and defines Adjusted
 EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, gain on sale of fixed assets, stock-based compensation expense and
 unusual items.  The Company believes these Non-GAAP financial measures provide information that is useful to the Company’s investors. The
 Company believes that this information is helpful in understanding period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or
 could, have a disproportionate positive or negative impact on the Company’s results of operations in any particular period. Additionally, the Company
 uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate its past performance and prospects for future performance.   EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are
 not recognized terms under GAAP and do not purport to be an alternative to net income, operating cash flows, or a measure of earnings. Because all
 companies do not use identical calculations, this presentation of Non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to other similarly titled
 measures of other companies.  These tables present a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP
 measure.
