Forward Looking Statements
This presentation includes certain estimates and other forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including
statements with respect to anticipated operating and financial performance, growth opportunities,
growth rates, potential acquisition opportunities, and other statements of expectation. Words such
as ”forecasts”, “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “assumes,” “seeks,”
“estimates,” “should,” and variations of these words and similar expressions, are intended to
identify these forward-looking statements. While we believe these statements are accurate,
forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain and we cannot assure you that these
expectations will occur and our actual results may be significantly different. These statements by
the Company and its management are based on estimates, projections, beliefs and assumptions
of management and are not guarantees of future performance. Important factors that could cause
actual results to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include the factors described
in the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent 10-Q filing with the SEC.  The Company disclaims
any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement based on the occurrence of
future events, the receipt of new information, or otherwise. 
This presentation includes certain non-GAAP financial measures, that are different from financial
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similar measures used
by other companies.

decreases
The bidding activity is significantly lower in 2012
Emergency drought-related work and expected

results in 2013 and beyond.
