NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(1)
Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements presented herein include the accounts of Tutor Perini Corporation (formerly known as Perini Corporation) and its wholly owned subsidiaries (“Tutor Perini” or the “Company”).  The Company’s interests in construction joint ventures are accounted for using the proportionate consolidation method.  These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  These statements should be read in conjunction with the 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 condensed financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company's financial position as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, and cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010. The results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2011 because, among other reasons, such results can vary depending on the timing of progress achieved and changes in estimated profitability of projects being reported.

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosures.

(2)
Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies followed by the Company and its subsidiaries in preparing its consolidated financial statements are set forth in Note 1 to such 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 the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

In accordance with normal practice in the construction industry, the Company includes in current assets and current liabilities amounts related to construction contracts realizable and payable over a period in excess of one year.  Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings related to the Company’s contracts and joint venture contracts at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, consisted of the following (in thousands):

   
September 30,
   
December 31,
 
   
2011
   
2010
 
Unbilled costs and profits incurred to date*
  $ 131,038     $ 14,285  
Unapproved change orders
    139,298       49,949  
Claims
    103,989       75,215  
    $ 374,325     $ 139,449  

*
Represents the excess of contract costs and profits recognized to date on the percentage of completion accounting method over the amount of contract billings to date on certain contracts.

Of the balance of “Unapproved change orders” and “Claims” included above in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately $87.2 million and $74.1 million, respectively, are amounts subject to pending litigation or dispute resolution proceedings as described in Note 7.  These amounts are management’s estimate of the probable cost recovery from the disputed claims considering such factors as evaluation of entitlement, settlements reached to date and experience with the customer.  In the event that future facts and circumstances, including the resolution of disputed claims, cause a reduction in the aggregate amount of the estimated probable cost recovery from the disputed claims, the amount of such reduction will be recorded against earnings in the relevant future period.

Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standard Board (“FASB”) issued a staff position amending existing guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures in both interim and annual financial statements.  This update expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This update will be effective for the Company with the interim and annual reporting periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this update will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued a staff position which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. This update eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. This update will be effective for the Company with the interim and annual reporting periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued a staff position that gives an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of Goodwill impairment. An entity will be required to perform the two-step impairment test only if it concludes that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not less than its carrying value. This update is effective for annual and interim Goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. This update will be effective for the Company with the interim and annual reporting periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued a staff position that revises the way in which entities disclose participation in a multiemployer plan.  This update will be effective for the Company with the annual reporting period for the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2011.  Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this update will not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions

(a) Information regarding acquisitions that are material in the aggregate

Acquisition of Fisk Electric Company

On January 3, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Fisk Electric Company (“Fisk”), a privately held electrical construction company based in Houston, Texas.  Under the terms of the transaction, the Company acquired 100% of Fisk's stock for $105 million in cash paid at closing and additional contingent consideration fair valued at $4.2 million that may become payable under the terms of the agreement based upon Fisk's operating results over the next three years.  The transaction was financed using proceeds from the offering of senior unsecured notes which was completed in October 2010 (see Note 10).
 
Fisk covers many of the major commercial and industrial electrical construction markets in southwestern and southeastern United States locations with the ability to cover other attractive markets nationwide.  Fisk's expertise in the design development of electrical and technology systems for major projects spans a broad variety of project types including: commercial office buildings, sports arenas, hospitals, research laboratories, hospitality and casinos, convention centers, and industrial facilities.  Fisk had approximately $190 million of backlog as of the date of acquisition.  Fisk was acquired because the Company believes that it is a strong strategic fit enabling the Company to expand its nationwide electrical construction capabilities and to realize significant synergies and opportunities in support of the Company’s non-residential building and civil operations.

Acquisitions (continued)

The acquisition was effective as of January 1, 2011 for accounting purposes and, accordingly, Fisk’s financial results are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position beginning January 1, 2011.  Fisk’s operating results were not material to the Company’s consolidated results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Fisk’s operating results are included in the Company’s newly formed Specialty Contractors segment.  See Note 12 for disclosure of the completion of the Company’s 2011 reorganization and the formation of the Specialty Contractors reportable segment.

Acquisition of Anderson Companies

On April 1, 2011, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Anderson Companies (“Anderson”), the privately held parent company of Roy Anderson Corporation, Harrell Contracting Group, LLC and Brice Building Company, LLC. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company acquired 100% of Anderson’s stock for $61.9 million in cash and additional contingent consideration fair valued at $5.5 million that may become payable under the terms of the agreement based upon Anderson's operating results over the next three years.  The transaction was financed using proceeds from the offering of senior unsecured notes which was completed in October 2010 (see Note 10).
 
Anderson provides general contracting, design-build, preconstruction, and construction management services to its public and private clients throughout the southeastern United States and has expertise in gaming, hospitality, commercial, government, health care, industrial and educational facilities.  Headquartered in Gulfport, Mississippi, Anderson has offices in Birmingham, Alabama; Jackson, Mississippi; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Pensacola, Florida.  Anderson had approximately $475 million of backlog as of the date of acquisition.  Anderson was acquired because the Company believes that it is a strong strategic fit for the Company’s building business and strengthens the Company’s position in the southeastern United States.
 
The acquisition was effective as of April 1, 2011 for accounting purposes and, accordingly, Anderson’s financial results are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position beginning April 1, 2011.  Anderson’s operating results were not material to the Company’s consolidated results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Anderson’s operating results are included in the Company’s Building segment.

Acquisition of Frontier-Kemper Constructors, Inc.

On June 1, 2011, the Company acquired 100% ownership of Frontier-Kemper Constructors, Inc. (“Frontier-Kemper”), a privately held Indiana-based corporation. Under the terms of the transaction, the Company acquired 100% of Frontier-Kemper’s stock for a purchase price of approximately $61.7 million in cash.  In addition, the Company assumed approximately $52 million of debt, of which approximately $35 million was paid off at closing.  The transaction was financed using proceeds from the offering of senior unsecured notes which was completed in October 2010 (see Note 10).
 
Headquartered in Evansville, Indiana, Frontier-Kemper builds tunnels for highways, railroads, subways, rapid transit systems as well as shafts and other facilities for water supply and wastewater transport.  It also develops and equips mines with innovative hoisting, elevator and vertical conveyance systems for the mining industry.  Frontier-Kemper had approximately $300 million of backlog as of the date of acquisition.  Frontier-Kemper was acquired because the Company believes that it is a strong strategic fit for the Company’s civil business, bolstering the Company’s tunneling business in the United States and expanding the Company’s geographic reach into Canada.
 
The acquisition was effective as of June 1, 2011 for accounting purposes and, accordingly, Frontier-Kemper’s financial results are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position beginning June 1, 2011.  Frontier-Kemper’s operating results were not material to the Company’s consolidated results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  Frontier-Kemper’s operating results are included in the Company’s Civil segment.

(b) Acquisition of GreenStar Services Corporation
 
On July 1, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of GreenStar Services Corporation (“GreenStar”).  GreenStar is primarily comprised of three operating entities: Five Star Electric Corporation and WDF, Inc., which are located in New York, and Nagelbush Mechanical, which is located in Florida. GreenStar has served a range of clients in a wide variety of markets including transportation, infrastructure, commercial, school and university, residential, and specialty construction.  Under the terms of the transaction, the Company acquired GreenStar through a merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company for a purchase price of $208.4 million, consisting of $100.0 million in cash, subject to post-close adjustments, a $74.9 million promissory note issued at closing which was paid in full on August 3, 2011, and $33.5 million of holdbacks to secure certain indemnification obligations and deferred management incentive payments (“GreenStar Indemnity Holdbacks”), $8 million of which were paid during the three months ended September 30, 2011.  In addition to the amounts above, there is contingent consideration fair valued at $19.6 million that may become payable under the terms of the agreement based upon GreenStar's operating results over the next five years. The Company financed the transaction with available cash and borrowings under its revolving credit facility (see Note 10).
 
In connection with the acquisition of GreenStar, the Company issued to the interest holder representative, on behalf of certain of GreenStar’s former equity holders (the “Interest Holders”), a promissory note in the amount of approximately $74.9 million (the “GreenStar Seller Note”).  Interest under the GreenStar Seller Note accrued at the rate of 8% per annum with all accrued but unpaid interest payable on August 1, September 1 and October 1, 2011.  The GreenStar Seller Note and all accrued interest was paid off on August 3, 2011.

GreenStar was acquired because it is one of the largest specialty contractors in the United States and it will provide an opportunity to expand the Company’s presence in the northeastern markets. GreenStar had a backlog of approximately $1.2 billion as of the date of the acquisition.

The acquisition was effective as of July 1, 2011 for accounting purposes and, accordingly, GreenStar’s financial results are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position beginning July 1, 2011.  GreenStar’s operating results are included in the Company’s newly formed Specialty Contractors segment.  See Note 12 for disclosure of the completion of the Company’s 2011 reorganization and the formation of the Specialty Contractors reportable segment.

The Company has evaluated the materiality of the financial impact of the GreenStar acquisition and has deemed it to be material to the Company’s consolidated results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  In accordance with the accounting guidance on business combinations, the Company has also provided the following required disclosures for the GreenStar acquisition.

(c) Acquisition of Lunda Construction Company
 
On July 1, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of Lunda Construction Company (“Lunda”).  Headquartered in Black River Falls, Wisconsin, and with offices in Wisconsin and Minnesota, Lunda is a heavy civil contractor engaged in the construction, rehabilitation and maintenance of bridges, railroads, and other civil structures in the Midwest and throughout the United States.  Under the terms of the transaction, the Company acquired 100% of the stock of Lunda for a purchase price of $171.7 million, consisting of $149.9 million in cash, which includes post-close adjustments, and $21.7 million in notes payable in five years.  In addition to the amounts above, there is contingent consideration fair valued at $20.8 million that may become payable under the terms of the agreement based upon Lunda's operating results over the next three years.  The Company financed the transaction with the balance of proceeds available from the offering of senior unsecured notes which was completed in October 2010, as well as available cash and borrowings under its Revolving Facility (see Note 10).
 
In connection with the acquisition of Lunda, the Company issued to the former Lunda shareholders promissory notes in an aggregate amount of approximately $21.7 million (the “Lunda Seller Notes”).  Interest under the Lunda Seller Notes accrues at the rate of 5% per annum with all accrued but unpaid interest payable annually.  The Lunda Seller Notes mature on July 1, 2016.  The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Lunda Seller Notes at any time without premium or penalty.  To the extent that the Company prepays all or any portion of its outstanding Senior Notes, it is also required to repay a pro rata portion (based upon the amount being prepaid under the Senior Notes and the total amount outstanding under the Senior Notes) of the Lunda Seller Notes.  The Lunda Seller Notes are guaranteed by Lunda, which, as a result of the acquisition, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Lunda was acquired because the Company believes it is a strong strategic fit for its civil business and will provide the Company with the opportunity to expand its civil business into the midwestern United States.  Lunda had a backlog of approximately $400 million as of the date of the acquisition.

The acquisition was effective as of July 1, 2011 for accounting purposes and, accordingly, Lunda’s financial results are included in the Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial position beginning July 1, 2011.  Lunda’s operating results are included in the Company’s Civil segment.

The Company has evaluated the materiality of the financial impact of the Lunda acquisition and has deemed it to be material to the Company’s consolidated results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.  In accordance with the accounting guidance on business combinations, the Company has also provided the following required disclosures for the Lunda acquisition.

The Company recognized $0.1 million and $0.2 million of acquisition related expenses, respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, which are included in General and Administrative Expenses in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations.  These expenses included legal fees, bank fees, consultation fees, travel expenses, and other miscellaneous direct and incremental administrative expenses associated with the Lunda acquisition.

Fair Value Measurements
 
The Company measures certain financial instruments, including Cash and Cash Equivalents, such as money market funds, at their fair value.  The fair value was determined based on a three-tier valuation hierarchy for disclosure of significant inputs.  These hierarchical tiers are defined as follows:

 
Level 1 – inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

 
Level 2 – inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable through market corroboration.

 
Level 3 – inputs are unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash consist primarily of money market funds with original maturity dates of three months or less, for which fair value is determined through quoted market prices.
 
(2)
Short-term Investments are classified as Other Current Assets and are comprised of certificates of deposit, and municipal bonds, an S&P 500 index mutual fund, and a portion of the Company’s investments in auction rate securities (“ARS”).   The fair values of the certificates of deposit and the mutual fund are determined through quoted market prices, and as such, the Company has classified these assets as Level 1.  The fair values of the municipal bonds are obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments, and as such, the Company has classified these assets as Level 2.  The Company also classified approximately $21.1 million of ARS from Long-term Investments to Short-term Investments as this portion of the ARS was redeemed at par subsequent to September 30, 2011.
 
(3)
Bonds substituted for retainage are classified as Account Receivables, including retainage and are comprised of U.S. Treasury Notes and other municipal bonds, the majority of which are rated AAA.  The fair values of these assets are obtained from readily-available pricing sources for comparable instruments, and as such, the Company has classified these assets as Level 2.
 
(4)
At September 30, 2011 the Company had an additional $67.1 million invested in ARS which the Company considers as available-for-sale Long-term Investments.  The majority of the Long-term Investments ARS held by the Company at September 30, 2011 are in securities collateralized by student loan portfolios, totaling $54.8 million, which are guaranteed by the U.S. government.  Additional amounts totaling $12.2 million are invested in securities collateralized by student loan portfolios, which are privately insured.  At September 30, 2011 most of the Company’s ARS are rated AAA or AA.  The Company estimated the fair value of its ARS utilizing an income approach valuation model which considered, among other items, the following inputs: (i) the underlying structure of each security; (ii) the present value of future principal and interest payments discounted at rates considered to reflect current market conditions; and (iii) consideration of the probabilities of default or repurchase at par for each period.

The Company has classified $67.1 million of its $88.1 million total ARS investment as Long-term Investments in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at September 30, 2011, due to the Company’s belief that the market for both government-backed and privately insured student loans may take in excess of twelve months to fully recover.  The Company’s remaining ARS investments of $21.1 million have been classified as short-term investments and included in the Other Current Assets line item in the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at September 30, 2011 due to the fact that these amounts were redeemed at par subsequent to September 30, 2011.

The carrying amount of Cash and Cash Equivalents approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of these items. The carrying value of receivables, payables, other amounts arising out of normal contract activities, including retainage, which may be settled beyond one year, is estimated to approximate fair value.  Of the Company’s Long-term Debt, the fair value of the fixed rate senior unsecured notes as of September 30, 2011 is $255 million, compared to its carrying value of $298.0 million.  The fair value of the senior unsecured notes was estimated based on market quotations at September 30, 2011.  For the remainder of the Company’s Long-term Debt, the carrying value is estimated to approximate fair value. The Company is in the process of finalizing the fair values of the tangible and Intangible Assets associated with the acquisitions discussed in Note 3 above.  The preliminary fair values of the contingent considerations were estimated based on an income approach which is based on the cash flows that the acquired entity is expected to generate in the future. This approach requires management to project revenues, operating expenses, working capital investment, capital spending and cash flows for the reporting unit over a multi-year period, as well as determine the weighted-average cost of capital to be used as a discount rate.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

During the third quarter of 2011, the Company completed a reorganization which resulted in the formation of the Specialty Contractors reporting unit and reportable segment.  The Specialty Contractors reporting unit consists of the following subsidiary companies: GreenStar, Fisk, Powerco Electric Corporation (“Powerco”), Desert Mechanical, Inc (“DMI”) (all previously included in the Building reporting unit), and Superior Gunite (previously included in the Civil reporting unit).  The reorganization enables the Company to focus on vertical integration through increased self-performed work capabilities, while maintaining the specialty contractors business with third parties, and it will strengthen the Company’s position as a full-service contractor with greater control over scheduled delivery and risk management.  The Company reallocated Goodwill between its reorganized reporting units based on a relative fair value assessment in accordance with the guidance on segment reporting.  Changes in the carrying amount of Goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2011 associated with the reorganization and in connection with the acquisitions of Fisk, Anderson, Frontier, GreenStar, Lunda and Becho are shown in the tables below (in thousands):

Contingencies and Commitments

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are involved in litigation and are contingently liable for commitments and performance guarantees arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company and certain of its clients have made claims arising from the performance under its contracts. The Company recognizes certain significant claims for recovery of incurred cost when it is probable that the claim will result in additional contract revenue and when the amount of the claim can be reliably estimated. Several matters are in the litigation and dispute resolution process.  The following discussion provides a background and current status of these matters.

Tutor-Saliba-Perini Joint Venture vs. Los Angeles MTA Matter

During 1995 Tutor-Saliba-Perini (“Joint Venture”) filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Los Angeles against the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“LAMTA”), seeking to recover costs for extra work required by LAMTA in connection with the construction of certain tunnel and station projects. In 1999, LAMTA countered with civil claims under the California False Claims Act (“CFCA”) against the Joint Venture, Tutor-Saliba and the Company jointly and severally (together, “TSP”).

Between 2005 and 2010, the court granted certain Joint Venture motions and LAMTA capitulated on others which reduced the number of false claims LAMTA may seek and limited LAMTA’s claims for damages and penalties.  In September 2010, LAMTA dismissed its remaining claims and agreed to pay the entire amount of the Joint Venture’s remaining claims plus interest.   The Court subsequently entered judgment in favor of TSP and against LAMTA in the amount of $3 million.  This amount is after deducting the amount of $0.5 million, representing the tunnel handrail verdict plus accrued interest against TSP.  The parties filed post-trial motions for costs and fees.  The Court ruled TSP’s Sureties could recover costs, MTA could recover costs for the tunnel handrail trial, and no party could recover attorneys’ fees.  In April 2011, TSP filed a notice of appeal regarding the false claims jury verdict on the tunnel handrail claim and other issues, and LAMTA subsequently filed its notice of cross-appeal.  TSP will appeal the Court’s order denying TSP and its Sureties’ request for attorneys’ fees.  The appeal of this case is expected to take at least a year.

The Company does not expect this matter to have any material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Perini/Kiewit/Cashman Joint Venture-Central Artery/Tunnel Project Matter

Perini/Kiewit/Cashman Joint Venture (“PKC”), a joint venture in which the Company holds a 56% interest and is the managing partner, is currently pursuing a series of claims, instituted at different times over the course of the past ten years, for additional contract time and/or compensation against the Massachusetts Highway Department (“MHD”) for work performed by PKC on a portion of the Central Artery/Tunnel (“CA/T”) project in Boston, Massachusetts.  During construction, MHD ordered PKC to perform changes to the work and issued related direct cost changes with an estimated value, excluding time delay and inefficiency costs, in excess of $100 million. In addition, PKC encountered a number of unforeseen conditions during construction that greatly increased PKC’s cost of performance. MHD has asserted counterclaims for liquidated damages and backcharges.

Certain of PKC’s claims have been presented to a Disputes Review Board (“DRB”) which consists of three construction experts chosen by the parties. To date, four DRB panels have issued twelve awards and several interim decisions in favor of PKC’s claims, amounting to total awards to PKC in excess of $127 million, of which $109 million were binding awards.

In December 2010, the Suffolk County Superior Court granted MHD’s motion for summary judgment to vacate the Third DRB Panel’s award to PKC for approximately $55 million.  The Court granted the motion on the grounds that the arbitrators do not have authority to decide whether particular claims are subject to the arbitration provision of the contract.  PKC also filed a motion for reconsideration in the trial court which was denied.  MHD has also moved to vacate approximately $12 million of the Fourth DRB Panel’s total awards to PKC on the same arbitrability basis that the Third DRB’s awards were vacated.  In April 2011, PKC filed a notice of appeal regarding the Court’s ruling.

Subject to the results of further proceedings as a result of the Court’s decision with respect to the Third DRB Panel’s award to PKC, it is PKC’s position that the remaining claims to be decided by the DRB on a binding and non-binding basis have an anticipated value of approximately $3.0 million, plus interest.  Hearings before the DRB are scheduled to continue through 2011.

Management has made an estimate of the anticipated recovery on this project and it is included in revenue recorded to date.  To the extent new facts become known or the final recovery included in the claim settlement varies from the estimate, the impact of the change will be reflected in the financial statements at that time.

Long Island Expressway/Cross Island Parkway Matter

The Company reconstructed the Long Island Expressway/Cross Island Parkway Interchange (the “Project”) for the New York State Department of Transportation (the “NYSDOT”). The $130 million project was substantially completed in January 2004 and was accepted by the NYSDOT as finally complete in February 2006.

The Company incurred significant added costs in completing its work and suffered extended schedule costs due to numerous design errors, undisclosed utility conflicts, lack of coordination with local agencies and other interferences for which the Company believes that the NYSDOT is responsible.

In April 2009, the Company made a presentation of its position to the NYSDOT regarding additional relief it seeks from the NYSDOT. In June 2010, the Company requested that NYSDOT close-out the Project, after which the NYSDOT notified the Company that it will conduct an audit of the Company’s costs under the project.

In September 2011, the Company reached agreement on final payment with the Comptroller’s Office on behalf of the NYSDOT. The final agreement amount resulted in an amount of $0.5 million payable to the Company and formally closes out the project.

The Company will re-file its claim in the New York State Court of Claims, in the amount of $53.8 million by the end of 2011.

Management has made an estimate of the total anticipated recovery on this project and it is included in revenue recorded to date.  To the extent new facts become known or the final recovery included in the claim settlement varies from the estimate, the impact of the change will be reflected in the financial statements at that time.

Queensridge Matter

Perini Building Company, Inc. (“PBC”) was the general contractor for the construction of One Queensridge Place, a condominium project in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The developer of the project, Queensridge Towers, LLC / Executive Home Builders, Inc. (“Queensridge”), has failed to pay PBC for work which PBC and its subcontractors performed on the project.

Subcontractors have brought claims against PBC and have outstanding liens on the property in the amount of approximately $19 million.  PBC also has an outstanding lien on the property in the amount of approximately $24 million, representing unpaid contract balances and additional work; $19 million of PBC’s $24 million lien amount would be paid to subcontractors.  Queensridge has alleged that PBC and its subcontractors are not due amounts sought and that it has back charges from incomplete and defective work.  PBC filed an arbitration demand, asserting $35 million in claims against Queensridge, including $25 million for contract damages and $10 million for punitive damages.

The arbitration process is proceeding.  Queensridge simultaneously filed a motion for reconsideration of the Supreme Court’s denial of Queensridge’s appeal relating to the resolved spoliation issue.  The Nevada Supreme Court denied Queensridge’s appeal.  In March 2011, Queensridge filed a motion for an en banc hearing on this matter.  The Nevada Supreme Court denied Queensridge’s motion in July 2011.

In April 2011, the American Arbitration Association granted PBC’s request for consolidation of claims.  All claims will be arbitrated. The arbitration hearing schedule was set and will commence in February 2012, after interim hearings on specific issues which are scheduled to begin in November 2011.

Management has made an estimate of the total anticipated recovery on this project and it is included in revenue recorded to date.  To the extent new facts become known or the final recovery included in the claim settlement varies from the estimate, the impact of the change will be reflected in the financial statements at that time.

Gaylord Hotel and Convention Center Matter

In 2005, Gaylord National, LLC (“Gaylord”), as Owner, and Perini Building Company, Inc. / Tompkins Builders, Joint Venture (“PTJV”), as Construction Manager, entered into a contract to construct the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center (the “Project”) in Maryland. The Project is complete and as part of its settlement with Gaylord reached in November 2008, PTJV agreed to pay all subcontractors and defend all claims and lien actions by them relating to the Project.  PTJV has closed out most subcontracts.  Resolution of the issues with the remaining subcontractors may require mediation, arbitration and/or trial.

PTJV is pursuing an insurance claim for approximately $40 million related to work performed by Banker Steel Company, Inc. (“Banker Steel”), a subcontractor, including $11 million for business interruption costs incurred by Gaylord which have effectively been assigned to PTJV. In November 2009, PTJV filed suit against Factory Mutual Insurance Co. (“FM”) in the Maryland federal district court alleging FM breached the insurance contracts and for declaratory judgment with respect to the insurance coverage.  In December 2010, PTJV filed suit against ACE American Insurance Company (“ACE”) in Maryland federal district court alleging ACE breached the general liability insurance contract, requesting a declaratory judgment with respect to the insurance coverage and for bad faith.

The court assigned an April 2012 trial date; however, the parties are still participating in settlement discussions. Management has made an estimate of the total anticipated recovery on this project and it is included in revenue recorded to date.  To the extent new facts become known or the final recovery included in the claim settlement varies from the estimate, the impact of the change will be reflected in the financial statements at that time.

Fontainebleau Matter

DMI and Fisk, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, were subcontractors on the Fontainebleau Project in Las Vegas (“Fontainebleau”), a hotel/casino complex with approximately 3,800 rooms.  In June 2009, Fontainebleau filed for bankruptcy protection, under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, in the Southern District of Florida.  Fontainebleau is headquartered in Miami, Florida.

DMI and Fisk filed liens in Nevada for approximately $44 million, representing unreimbursed costs to date and lost profits, including anticipated profits.  Other unaffiliated subcontractors have also filed liens. In June 2009, DMI filed suit against Turnberry West Construction, Inc. (“Turnberry”), the general contractor, in the 8th Judicial District Court, Clark County, Nevada, seeking damages based on contract theories. In April 2010, the court entered a default judgment in favor of DMI and against Turnberry for Turnberry’s failure to answer the DMI complaint and in May 2010, the court entered an order on the default judgment in favor of DMI for approximately $45 million.  DMI is uncertain as to Turnberry’s present financial condition.

In January 2010, the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of the property to Icahn Nevada Gaming Acquisition, LLC and this transaction closed in February 2010.  As a result of a July 2010 ruling relating to certain priming liens there is now approximately $125 million set aside from this sale, which is available for distribution to satisfy the creditor claims based on seniority.  The total estimated sustainable lien amount is approximately $350 million.  The project lender filed suit against the mechanic’s lien claimants, including DMI and Fisk, alleging that certain mechanic’s liens are invalid and that all mechanic’s liens are subordinate to the lender's claims against the property.  Mediation efforts to resolve lien priority have been unsuccessful.  The Nevada Supreme Court has agreed to hear the case and rule on the issue of lien priority, which once received will be referred to the Bankruptcy Court for further proceedings.

Management has made an estimate of the total anticipated recovery on this project and it is included in revenue recorded to date.  To the extent new facts become known or the final recovery included in the claim settlement varies from the estimate, the impact of the change will be reflected in the financial statements at that time.

MGM CityCenter Matter

Perini Building Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, contracted with MGM MIRAGE Design Group (“MGM”) in March 2005 to construct the CityCenter project in Las Vegas, Nevada (the “Project”).  The Project, which encompasses nineteen separate contracts, is a 66-acre urban mixed use development consisting of hotels, condominiums, retail space and a casino.

The Company achieved substantial completion of the Project in December 2009, and MGM opened the Project to the public on the same date.  In March 2010, the Company filed suit against MGM and certain other property owners in the Clark County District Court alleging (1) breach of contract, (2) breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, (3) tortious breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, (4) unjust enrichment, (5) fraud and intentional misrepresentation, (6) foreclosure of mechanic’s lien, and (7) claim of priority.  In March 2010, the Company also filed a $491 million mechanic’s lien against the Project.

In a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by MGM in March 2010, and in subsequent communications issued, MGM has asserted that it believes it owes substantially less than the claimed amount and that it has claims for losses in connection with the construction of the Harmon Hotel and is entitled to unspecified offsets for other work on the Project. According to MGM, the total of the offsets and the Harmon Hotel claims exceed the amount claimed by the Company.  MGM’s filing and subsequent communications do not specify in any detail the basis for MGM’s belief that it has such claims against the Company.

In May 2010, MGM filed a counterclaim and third party complaint against the Company and its subsidiary Perini Building Company.  In June 2010, MGM filed its First Amended Third Party Complaint in which MGM removed certain causes of actions against the Company.  The court granted the Company and MGM’s joint motion to consolidate all subcontractor initiated actions into the main CityCenter lawsuit.  Trial was scheduled for September 2011, but has been postponed since the Nevada Supreme Court stayed the case in November 2010, in response to MGM’s request after an adverse ruling against MGM to disqualify MGM’s local counsel. The stay was lifted in October 2011. A trial date has been set for February 2013. MGM informed the Court in its subsequent status conference statement that MGM will seek Court permission to demolish the Harmon Tower, one of the CityCenter buildings.

The Company’s carrier filed a separate lawsuit in federal court for declaratory relief asking the Court to find it has no duty to defend and indemnify the Company from MGM’s claims.  The Company filed a motion to dismiss this suit and later, in October 2011, a motion for abstention because the issues could be decided in Nevada State Court where the underlying action is pending.

In public statements, MGM asserted its intent to enter into settlement discussions directly with subcontractors under contract with the Company.  As of September 2011, MGM has reached agreements with subcontractors to settle at a discount $268 million of amounts previously billed to MGM.  The Company has reduced amounts included in revenues, cost of construction operations, accounts receivable and accounts payable for the reduction in subcontractor pass-through billings.  At September 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $222 million recorded as contract receivables for amounts due and owed to the Company and its subcontractors.  Included in the Company’s receivables are pass-through subcontractor billings for contract work and retention, and other requests for equitable adjustment for additional work in the amount of $85 million.   As pass-through subcontractor billings are settled, the Company will reduce its mechanic’s lien as appropriate. As of September 30, 2011, the Company’s mechanic’s lien has been reduced to $313 million.  In the event MGM reaches additional settlements with subcontractors for amounts less than currently due and the settlement is agreed to by the Company, the Company will reduce amounts included in revenues, cost of construction operations, accounts receivable and accounts payable for the reduction in subcontractor pass-through billings, which the Company would not expect to have an impact on recorded profit.

With respect to alleged losses at the Harmon Hotel, the Company has contractual indemnities from the responsible subcontractor, as well as existing insurance coverage that it expects will be available and sufficient to cover any liability that may be associated with this matter.  The Company is not aware of a basis for other claims that would  amount to material offsets against what MGM owes to the Company.  The Company does not expect this matter to have any material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Management has made an estimate of the total anticipated recovery on this project and it is included in revenue recorded to date.  To the extent new facts become known or the final recovery included in the claim settlement varies from the estimate, the impact of the change will be reflected in the financial statements at that time.

Honeywell Street/Queens Boulevard Bridges Matter

In 1999, the Company was awarded a contract for reconstruction of the Honeywell Street/Queens Boulevard Bridges (the “Project”) for the City of New York (the “City”).  In June 2003, after substantial completion of the Project, the Company initiated an action to recover $8.75 million in claims from the City on behalf of itself and its subcontractors. In February 2010, the Company initiated a second action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York to recover an additional $0.7 million in claims against the City for unpaid retention.  In March 2010, the City filed counterclaims for $74.6 million and other relief, alleging fraud in connection with the DBE requirements for the Project. In May 2010, the Company served the City with its response to the City’s counterclaims and affirmative defenses.   Parties are discussing settlement possibilities.  No trial date has been set.

The Company does not expect this matter to have any material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Westgate Planet Hollywood Matter

Tutor-Saliba Corporation (“TSC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, contracted to construct a time share development in Las Vegas (the “Project”) which was substantially completed in December 2009.  The Company’s claims against the owner, Westgate Planet Hollywood Las Vegas, LLC (“WPH”), relate to unresolved owner change orders and other claims.  The Company filed a lien on the project in April 2010 in the amount of $19.3 million, and filed its complaint in May 2010 with the District Court, Clark County, Nevada.  Included in the Company’s receivables are pass-through subcontractor billings for contract work and retention of approximately $12 million. Several subcontractors have also recorded liens, some of which have been released by bonds and some of which have been released as a result of subsequent payment.  Westgate has posted a mechanic’s lien release bond for $22.3 million.

WPH filed a cross-complaint alleging non-conforming and defective work for approximately $51 million, primarily related to alleged defects, misallocated costs, and liquidated damages.  Some or all of the allegations will be defended by counsel appointed by TSC’s insurance carrier.

TSC filed an amended complaint in May 2011, which increases TSC’s claim to $22.3 million, and replaces the cause of action to foreclose its mechanic’s lien with an action against WPH’s lien release bond.

The Court entered an order setting this case for mediation in October 2011, and the case did not settle at this mediation. The Court set trial for September 2012.   The Company does not expect this matter to have any material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Management has made an estimate of the total anticipated recovery on this project and it is included in revenue recorded to date.  To the extent new facts become known or the final recovery included in the claim settlement varies from the estimate, the impact of the change will be reflected in the financial statements at that time.

100th Street Bus Depot Matter

The Company constructed the 100th Street Bus Depot for the New York City Transit Authority (“NYCTA”) in New York.  Prior to receiving notice of final acceptance from the NYCTA, this project experienced a failure of the brick façade on the building due to faulty subcontractor work.  The Company has not yet received notice of final acceptance of this project from the NYCTA.  The Company contends defective structural installation by the Company’s steel subcontractor caused or was a causal factor of the brick façade failure.

The Company has tendered its claim to the NYCTA Owner Controlled Insurance Program (“OCIP”) and to Chartis Claims, Inc. (“Chartis”), its insurance carrier.  Coverage was denied in January 2011.  The OCIP and general liability carriers have filed a declaratory relief action against the Company seeking court determination that no coverage is afforded under their policies.  The Company believes it has legal entitlement to recover costs under the policies and intends to defend and pursue its claim against the carriers for breach of contract and appropriate associated causes of action.  The Company filed a lawsuit against certain underwriters at Lloyds, London, the excess carrier, Illinois National Insurance Company, the insurance company of the state of Pennsylvania, and National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with respect to this claim in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Suffolk County Superior Court, in June 2011.
 
Management has made an estimate of the total anticipated recovery on this project and it is included in revenue recorded to date.  To the extent new facts become known or the final recovery included in the claim settlement varies from the estimate, the impact of the change will be reflected in the financial statements at that time.

Brightwater Matter

In 2006, the Department of Natural Resources and Parks Wastewater Treatment Division of King County (“King County”), as Owner, and Vinci Construction Grands Projects/Parsons RCI/Frontier-Kemper, Joint Venture (“VPFK”), as Contractor, entered into a contract to construct the Brightwater Conveyance System and tunnel sections (the “Project”) in Washington State. Frontier-Kemper, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a 20% minority partner in the joint venture.

In April 2010, King County filed a lawsuit alleging damages in the amount of $74 million, plus costs, for VPFK’s failure to complete specified components of the project in the King County Superior Court, State of Washington. Shortly thereafter, VPFK filed a counterclaim in the amount of approximately $75 million, seeking reimbursement for additional costs incurred as a result of differing site conditions, King County’s defective specifications, for damages sustained on VPFK’s tunnel boring machines (“TBM”), and increased costs as a result of hyperbaric interventions. VPFK’s claims related to differing site conditions, defective design specifications, and damages to the TBM were presented to a Dispute Resolution Board (“DRB”).  The DRB recommendations, dated August 1, 2011, generally found that King County was liable to VPFK for VPFK’s claims for encountering differing site conditions, including damages to the TBM, but not on VPFK’s alternative theory of defective specifications.  King County has proposed the parties mediate the hyperbaric work claim. VPFK agreed to this request.

Discovery is expected to continue through June 2012. The original trial date was continued by stipulation to September 2012.

The ultimate financial impact of King County’s lawsuit is not yet determinable.  Management has made an estimate of the total anticipated recovery on the submitted claims and it is included in revenue recorded to date.  To the extent new facts become known or the final recovery included in the claim settlement varies from the estimate, the impact of the change will be reflected in the financial statements at that time.

156 Stations Matter

In December 2003, Five Star Electric Corporation (“FSE”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with the Prime Contractor Transit Technologies, L.L.C (“Transit”), a Consortium member of Siemens Transportation Transit Technologies, L.L.C (“Siemens”), to assist in the installation of new public address and customer information screens system for each of the 156 stations for the New York City Transit Authority (“NYCTA”) as the owner. Work on the project commenced in early 2004 and is substantially complete.

In June 2007, FSE submitted a Demand for Arbitration against Transit to terminate its subcontract due to the execution of a Cure Agreement between the NYCTA, Siemens and Transit which severely amended FSE’s rights under the Prime Contract, due to Transit’s failure to provide information and equipment in a manner which would allow work to progress according to the approved baseline schedule, and for failure to tender payment in excess of a year. This arbitration demand also sought $18 million in damages caused by subcontract breaches on the part of Transit. On July 17, 2009, FSE unilaterally terminated its contract with Transit and amended its claim to include all costs incurred through the date it ceased work following its termination.  This claim is for approximately $25 million.

In August 2007, FSE commenced action against the Federal Insurance Company and St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company, the payment bond sureties for the Consortium, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York. FSE’s action was amended in November 2009, to include all costs incurred through the date work ceased following its termination. This claim, like the underlying arbitration, alleges damages of $25 million.

In response, Transit notified Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America (“Travelers”), FSE’s surety, of its intent to default FSE from the contract for failure to perform. Transit filed a suit against Travelers in May 2011, in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, seeking compensation for damages allegedly suffered by Transit as a result of the actions of FSE and Travelers. The cause and amount of the damages are not specified in the suit; however, are for an amount in excess of $25 million up to the contract amount of $36 million.  By an agreement executed in June 2011, Travelers tendered defense to FSE.

The ultimate financial impact of Transit’s lawsuit is not yet determinable.  Management has made an estimate of the total anticipated recovery on the submitted claims and it is included in revenue recorded to date.  To the extent new facts become known or the final recovery included in the claim settlement varies from the estimate, the impact of the change will be reflected in the financial statements at that time.  Additionally, pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement with the former shareholders of GreenStar, the Company has contractual indemnities for claim losses allowed for by the GreenStar Indemnity Holdbacks as described in Note 3 above.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company recognized a $0.3 million credit in General and Administrative Expenses related to stock-based compensation awards for the three months ended September 30, 2011, and $6.8 million of total compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 the Company recognized total compensation expense of $2.7 million and $10.2 million, respectively, related to stock-based compensation awards.

Restricted Stock Awards
Restricted stock awards vest subject to the satisfaction of service requirements or the satisfaction of both service requirements and achievement of certain pre-established pre-tax income performance targets.  Upon vesting, each award is exchanged for one share of the Company’s Common Stock.  As of September 30, 2011, the Compensation Committee has approved the grant of an aggregate of 4,092,500 restricted stock awards to eligible participants.

In March 2011, the Compensation Committee established the 2011 pre-tax income performance targets for 269,998 restricted stock units awarded in 2009 and 2010.  In September 2011, the Compensation Committee cancelled 107,500 restricted stock unit awards and replaced these with 145,000 new restricted stock unit awards, and also approved the grant of 102,500 new restricted stock unit awards.  Of the September 2011 restricted stock unit awards approved, 138,750 of the restricted stock unit awards will vest in 2014 subject only to the satisfaction of service requirements and 108,750 of the restricted stock unit awards will vest in 2014 subject to the satisfaction of both service requirements and achievement of certain pre-established pre-tax income targets. The Compensation Committee has established the applicable pre-tax income performance targets for these awards, and the grant date fair value for these shares was determined based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date the performance criteria were established.  Additionally, 95,000 restricted stock unit awards were forfeited during September 2011.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recognized a $0.9 million credit and compensation expense of $4.5 million, respectively, related to restricted stock awards.  As of September 30, 2011 there was $12.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to the unvested awards which, absent significant forfeitures in the future, is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years.

7.625% Senior Notes due 2018

On October 20, 2010, the Company completed a private placement offering of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.625% senior unsecured notes due November 1, 2018 (the “Senior Notes”).  The Senior Notes were priced at 99.258%, resulting in a yield to maturity of 7.75%.  The Senior Notes were made available in a private offering that is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).  The private placement of the Senior Notes resulted in proceeds to the Company of approximately $293.2 million after a debt discount of $2.2 million and initial debt issuance costs of $4.6 million. The Senior Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of October 20, 2010 by and among the Company, its subsidiary guarantors and Wilmington Trust FSB, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

The Senior Notes mature on November 1, 2018, and bear interest at a rate of 7.625% per annum, payable semi-annually in cash in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2011.  The Senior Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company and are guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee obligations under the Company’s Amended Credit Agreement.

Financial Commitments (continued)

In April 2011, the Company filed an amended registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to an offer to exchange the Senior Notes for a new issue of debt securities registered under the Securities Act (the “Exchange Offer”), with terms substantially identical to those of the Senior Notes, (except for provisions relating to the transfer restrictions and payment of additional interest), and to keep the Exchange Offer open for at least 30 business days (the “Registration Statement”).  The Registration Statement was consummated in June 2011.

Amended Credit Agreement

On August 3, 2011, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), as Borrower, with Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and L/C Issuer (the “Lender”).  The Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety an existing Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated May 4, 2011 among the Company, as Borrower, and the Lender, as Administrative Agent (the “Existing Agreement”), which provided for a $260 million revolving credit facility and an additional $99.6 million under a supplemental facility.

The Credit Agreement replaces the Existing Agreement and allows the Company to borrow up to $300 million on a revolving credit basis (the “Revolving Facility”), with a $50 million sublimit for letters of credit, and an additional $200 million term loan (the “Term Loan”).  Subject to certain conditions, the Company has the option to increase the base facility by up to an additional $50 million.  Substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries unconditionally guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement.  The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a lien on all personal property of the Company and its subsidiaries party thereto.  Amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company's option, (a) the adjusted British Bankers Association LIBOR rate, as defined, plus 200 to 300 basis points (floor of 200 basis points) based on the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries to consolidated EBITDA or (b) the higher of the Federal Funds Rate plus 50 basis points, or the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., plus up to 200 basis points based on the ratio of consolidated funded indebtedness of the Company and its subsidiaries to consolidated EBITDA.  In addition, the Company has agreed to pay quarterly facility fees ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum of the unused portion of the credit facility.  Any outstanding loans under the Revolving Facility mature on August 3, 2016, while the Term Loan includes quarterly installments of principal and interest payable over a five-year period.

Similar to the Existing Agreement, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to comply with certain financial and other covenants including minimum net worth, minimum fixed charge coverage and maximum leverage ratios.  The Company is currently in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement also includes certain customary provisions for this type of facility, including operational covenants restricting liens, investments, indebtedness, fundamental changes in corporate organization, and dispositions of property, and events of default, certain of which include corresponding grace periods and notice requirements.
 
The Credit Agreement provides for customary events of default with corresponding grace periods, including (i) failure to pay any principal or interest when due, (ii) failure to comply with covenants, (iii) any material representation or warranty made by the Company proving to be incorrect in any material respect, (iv) defaults relating to or acceleration of other material indebtedness, (v) certain insolvency or receivership events affecting the Company, (vi) a change in control of the Company, or (vii) the Company becoming subject to certain material judgments.

Financial Commitments (continued)

In the event of a default, the Administrative Agent, at the request of the requisite number of lenders, must terminate the lenders’ commitments to make loans under the Credit Agreement and declare all obligations under the Credit Agreement immediately due and payable. For certain events of default related to insolvency and receivership, the commitments of the lenders will be automatically terminated and all outstanding obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement will become immediately due and payable.

The Company had $132.0 million of outstanding borrowings under its Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2011 and no outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2010.  The Company utilized the Revolving Facility for letters of credit in the amount of $3.0 million and $0.2 million as of September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.  Accordingly, at September 30, 2011, the Company had $165.0 million available to borrow under the Credit Agreement.

On August 26, 2011, the Company entered into a swap agreement (“Swap Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. to establish a long-term interest rate for the Term Loan discussed above.  The Swap Agreement will become effective for the Term Loan principal balance outstanding at January 31, 2012 and will remain effective through the maturity date of the Term Loan.  Amounts outstanding under the Swap Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to, the Applicable Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement (based upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio) plus 97.5 basis points. The Swap Agreement includes quarterly installments of principal and monthly installments of interest payable through the maturity date of the Term Loan.

Debt Agreements from Recent Acquisitions

In connection with the acquisition of Frontier-Kemper (see Note 3), the Company assumed approximately $52 million of debt of which approximately $35 million was paid off upon the closing of the transaction.  Substantially all of the debt remaining exists in the form of a promissory note payable from Frontier-Kemper to the former sole shareholder of Frontier-Kemper in the amount of $17.1 million (the “Frontier-Kemper Seller Note”).  Interest under the Frontier-Kemper Seller Note accrues at the rate of 2% per annum with all accrued but unpaid interest payable on September 30, 2011.  Additionally, the Frontier-Kemper Seller Note contains an indemnification provision allowing the Company to offset balances against the principal due under certain circumstances. The Frontier-Kemper Seller Note matures on December 31, 2011.  The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Frontier-Kemper Seller Note at any time without premium or penalty.

In connection with the acquisition of GreenStar (see Note 3), the Company issued to the interest holder representative, on behalf of certain of GreenStar’s former equity holders, a promissory note in the amount of approximately $74.9 million (the “GreenStar Seller Note”).  Interest under the GreenStar Seller Note accrued at the rate of 8% per annum with all accrued but unpaid interest payable on August 1, September 1 and October 1, 2011.  The GreenStar Seller Note and all accrued interest was paid off on August 3, 2011.

In connection with the acquisition of Lunda (see Note 3), the Company issued to the former Lunda shareholders promissory notes in an aggregate amount of approximately $21.7 million (the “Lunda Seller Notes”).  Interest under the Lunda Seller Notes accrues at the rate of 5% per annum with all accrued but unpaid interest payable annually.  The Lunda Seller Notes mature on July 1, 2016.  The Company may prepay all or any portion of the Lunda Seller Notes at any time without premium or penalty.  To the extent that the Company prepays all or any portion of its outstanding Senior Notes, it is also required to repay a pro rata portion (based upon the amount being prepaid under the Senior Notes and the total amount outstanding under the Senior Notes) of the Lunda Seller Notes.  The Lunda Seller Notes are guaranteed by Lunda, which, as a result of the acquisition, is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.

Collateralized Loans

In March 2011, the Company paid off and subsequently refinanced several of its equipment financing agreements at lower interest rates and also entered into several new equipment financing agreements.  The refinancing resulted in payments totaling $27.4 million which paid off the previous agreements in place.  The Company obtained loans totaling $59.7 million, which are collateralized by construction equipment owned by the Company.  The terms of the loans include equal monthly installments inclusive of principal and interest at an interest rate of 3.98% payable over a five-year period, with balloon payments totaling $9.0 million in 2016.

In August 2011, the Company entered into a new equipment financing agreement.  The Company obtained a loan totaling $25.0 million, which is collateralized by construction equipment owned by the Company.  The terms of the loan include equal monthly installments inclusive of principal and interest at an interest rate of 2.53% payable over a five-year period.

In September 2011, the Company entered into two new equipment financing agreements.  The Company obtained two loans for $12.5 million each, which are collateralized by construction equipment owned by the Company.  The terms of each of the loans include equal monthly installments inclusive of principal and interest at an interest rate of 2.21% payable over a five-year period.

Earnings per Common Share

Basic earnings per common share were computed by dividing Net Income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted earnings per common share was similarly computed after giving consideration to the dilutive effect of stock options and restricted stock awards outstanding on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The computations of diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 exclude 247,500 restricted stock units and 920,465 stock options because the awards would have an antidilutive effect.  The computations of diluted earnings per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 exclude 585,000 stock options because the awards would have an antidilutive effect.

Business Segments
 
As discussed in Note 6, during the third quarter of 2011 the Company completed a reorganization which resulted in the formation of the Specialty Contractors reporting segment.  The Specialty Contractors reporting segment consists of the following subsidiary companies: GreenStar, Fisk, Powerco, DMI (all previously included in the Building reporting segment), and Superior Gunite (“Superior”) (previously included in the Civil reporting segment).  The reorganization enables the Company to focus on vertical integration through increased self-performed work capabilities while maintaining the specialty contractors business with third parties, and it will strengthen the Company’s position as a full-service contractor with greater control over scheduled delivery and risk management.

The following tables set forth certain reportable segment information relating to the Company’s operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 (in thousands).  In accordance with the accounting guidance on segment reporting, the Company has restated the comparative prior period information for the reorganized reportable segments:

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discusses our financial position at September 30, 2011, and the results of our operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and should be read in conjunction with: (1) the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and notes contained herein, and (2) the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.

Overview

We were incorporated in 1918 as a successor to businesses that had been engaged in providing construction services since 1894.  We provide diversified general contracting, construction management and design-build services to private clients and public agencies throughout the world.  Our construction business is conducted through four basic segments:  Civil, Building, Specialty Contractors, and Management Services.  Our Civil segment specializes in public works construction and the repair, replacement and reconstruction of infrastructure, including highways, bridges, mass transit systems and water and wastewater treatment facilities.  Our Building segment has significant experience providing services to a number of specialized building markets, including the hospitality and gaming, transportation, healthcare, municipal offices, sports and entertainment, educational, correctional facilities, biotech, pharmaceutical and high-tech markets.  Our Specialty Contractors segment specializes in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, mechanical, and pneumatically placed concrete for a full range of civil, building and management services construction projects in the industrial, commercial, hospitality and gaming, transportation, and infrastructure end markets, among others.   Our Management Services segment provides diversified construction and design-build services to the U.S. military and federal government agencies, as well as surety companies and multi-national corporations in the United States and overseas.

The contracting and management services that we provide consist of general contracting, pre-construction planning and comprehensive management services, including planning and scheduling the manpower, equipment, materials and subcontractors required for the timely completion of a project in accordance with the terms and specifications contained in a construction contract.  We also offer self-performed construction services including site work, concrete forming and placement, steel erection, electrical and mechanical, plumbing and HVAC.  We provide these services by using traditional general contracting arrangements, such as fixed price, guaranteed maximum price, cost plus fee contracts and construction management or design-build contracting arrangements.  In the ordinary course of our business, we enter into arrangements with other contractors, referred to as “joint ventures” for certain construction projects.  Each of the joint venture participants is usually committed to supply a predetermined percentage of capital, as required, and to share in a predetermined percentage of the income or loss of the project.  Generally, each joint venture participant is fully liable for the obligations of the joint venture.

During the third quarter of 2011, we completed the execution of our major acquisition strategy to expand our business both vertically and geographically and provide synergies and opportunities to enhance our margins through an increase in the volume of our self-performed work, coupled with an increased volume of higher margin public works projects in our Civil and Building segments.  Our legacy Building and Civil segment operating results primarily reflect the substantial completion of several successful, large public works projects as well as the start-up of several new public works projects in the eastern and western United States.  Our Management Services segment continues its focus on obtaining new work with various U.S government agencies, including the U.S. military, both domestically and abroad.  Our operating results also reflect the impact of acquisition-related expenses, amortization of acquisition-related Intangible Assets and interest expense associated with the financing arrangements for the acquisitions.

Recent Developments

Completion of Major Acquisition Strategy, Formation of Specialty Contractors Segment and Executive Appointments
 
 
46

 
With the acquisitions of Lunda Construction Company (“Lunda”) and GreenStar Services Corporation (“GreenStar”) during the third quarter of 2011, we have completed our major acquisition strategy which also included the acquisitions of the following companies over the past year: Superior Gunite, Fisk Electric Company (“Fisk”), Anderson Companies (“Anderson”), Frontier-Kemper Constructors (“Frontier-Kemper”) and Becho, Inc. (“Becho”).  On a combined basis, these companies had 2010 annual revenues of approximately $1.7 billion and had backlog at the respective acquisition dates of approximately $2.6 billion.

During the third quarter of 2011 we completed a reorganization which resulted in the formation of the Specialty Contractors reporting segment. The Specialty Contractors reporting segment consists of the following subsidiary companies: GreenStar, Fisk, Powerco Electric Corporation (“Powerco”), Desert Mechanical, Inc (“DMI”) (all previously included in the Building reporting segment), and Superior Gunite (previously included in the Civil reporting segment). On September 13, 2011, we appointed Kenneth R. Burk, our former Chief Financial Officer, as Executive Vice President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company's Specialty Contractors Group, and each of the subsidiaries discussed above will report to Mr. Burk in his new role.  The reorganization enables the Company to focus on vertical integration through increased self-performed work capabilities while maintaining the specialty contractors business with third parties, and it will strengthen the Company’s position as a full-service contractor with greater control over scheduled delivery and risk management.

On September 13, 2011, we also appointed Michael J. Kershaw to replace Mr. Burk as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective September 21, 2011.  Prior to his hiring, Mr. Kershaw has served in several executive and managerial positions with several of our peers in the construction industry.

Amended Credit Agreement

On August 3, 2011, we entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A.  The Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety an existing Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated May 4, 2011 among the Company and Bank of America, N.A. (the “Existing Agreement”), which provided for a $260 million revolving credit facility and an additional $99.6 million under a supplemental facility.

The Credit Agreement replaces the Existing Agreement and allows us to borrow up to $300 million on a revolving credit basis (the “Revolving Facility”), with a $50 million sublimit for letters of credit, and an additional $200 million term loan (the “Term Loan”).  Subject to certain conditions, we have the option to increase the base facility by up to an additional $50 million.  Any outstanding loans under the Revolving Facility mature on August 3, 2016, while the Term Loan includes quarterly installments of principal and interest payable over a five-year period. Similar to the Existing Agreement, the Credit Agreement requires us to comply with certain financial and other covenants including minimum net worth, minimum fixed charge coverage and maximum leverage ratios.  We are currently in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Agreement.  For a description of additional material terms of the Credit Agreement, see Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Backlog of $6.4 Billion

Our backlog of uncompleted construction work at September 30, 2011 was approximately $6.4 billion compared to $4.3 billion at December 31, 2010.  During the third quarter of 2011 we converted a number of pending awards into backlog across each of our business segments.  New work additions during the third quarter of 2011 include approximately $491.2 million for our Building segment, $279.6 million for our Civil segment, $226.3 million for our Specialty Contractors segment, and $108.0 million for our Management Services segment. Significant awards include a $143 million highway interchange reconstruction project in Maryland, a $93 million office building in northern California, a $70 million educational facility in Philadelphia, and a $60 million overhead coverage protection facility in Iraq. During the third quarter of 2011, we also added approximately $1.6 billion of backlog as a result of the acquisitions of Lunda, GreenStar and Becho.  In addition, we have pending contract awards and prospects for both public and private sector customers that could enter our backlog in the near future.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.  Our critical accounting policies are also identified and discussed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.  We have made no significant changes to these policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

In accordance with normal practice in the construction industry, we include in current assets and current liabilities amounts related to construction contracts realizable and payable over a period in excess of one year.  Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings related to our contracts and joint venture contracts at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, consisted of the following (in thousands):

Of the balance of “Unapproved change orders” and “Claims” included above in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, approximately $87.2 million and $74.1 million, respectively, are amounts subject to pending litigation or dispute resolution proceedings as described in Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.  These amounts are management’s estimate of the probable cost recovery from the disputed claims considering such factors as evaluation of entitlement, settlements reached to date and experience with the customer.  In the event that future facts and circumstances, including the resolution of disputed claims, cause a reduction in the aggregate amount of the estimated probable cost recovery from the disputed claims, the amount of such reduction will be recorded against earnings in the relevant future period.

In May 2011, the FASB issued a staff position amending existing guidance for fair value measurements and disclosures in both interim and annual financial statements.  This update expands the disclosures for fair value measurements that are estimated using significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. This update will be effective for us with the interim and annual reporting periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this update will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2011, the FASB issued a staff position which requires an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive statements. This update eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. This update will be effective for us with the interim and annual reporting periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued a staff position that gives an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of Goodwill impairment. An entity will be required to perform the two-step impairment test only if it concludes that the fair value of a reporting unit is more likely than not less than its carrying value. This update is effective for annual and interim Goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. This update will be effective for us with the interim and annual reporting periods for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of this update will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2011, the FASB issued a staff position that revises the way in which entities disclose participation in a multiemployer plan.  This update will be effective for us with the annual reporting period for the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2011. Other than requiring additional disclosures, adoption of this update will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2011 with the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2010

For the third quarter of 2011, we recorded Revenues of $1,166.4 million, Income from Construction Operations of $62.0 million and Net Income of $35.5 million.  Basic and Diluted earnings per common share for the third quarter of 2011 were $0.75 and $0.74, respectively, as compared to $0.65 and $0.65, respectively, for the third quarter of 2010. Our operating results increased during the third quarter of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to the contributions from the acquisitions completed over the past 12 months, offset by the substantial completion of successful, large public works projects, and increased interest expense associated with our senior unsecured notes, Term Loan and borrowings under our Revolving Facility.

Overall Revenues increased by $434.6 million (or 59.4%), from $731.8 million in 2010 to $1,166.4 million in 2011, due primarily to contributions from the acquisitions we have recently closed.

Building segment revenues increased by $56.5 million (or 11.1%), from $511.2 million in 2010 to $567.7 million in 2011, due primarily to the acquisition of Anderson which contributed approximately $112.8 million in revenues.  This increase was offset by the substantial completion of successful large public works projects in Las Vegas and Philadelphia.

Civil segment revenues increased by $110.1 million (or 64.3%), from $171.2 million in 2010 to $281.3 million in 2011, due primarily to the recent acquisitions which contributed approximately $139.7 million in revenues in the aggregate offset by the substantial completion of projects in the metropolitan New York area.

Specialty Contractors segment revenues increased by $311.8 million, from $24.1 million in 2010 to $335.9 million in 2011, due primarily to the recent acquisitions which contributed approximately $328.0 million in revenues in the aggregate.

Management Services segment revenues increased by $44.0 million (or 106.0%), from $41.5 million in 2010 to $85.5 million in 2011, due primarily to the ramp up of an airforce base project in the eastern United States and the start-up of a task order contract for containerized housing in southern Iraq.

Overall Income from Construction Operations increased by $12.0 million (or 24.0%), from $50.0 million in 2010 to $62.0 million in 2011, due primarily to contributions from the acquisitions we have recently closed.

Building segment income from construction operations decreased $19.6 million (or 68.8%), from $28.5 million in 2010 to $8.9 million in 2011, due primarily to a decline in volume and operating margin caused by the substantial completion of successful public works projects in Las Vegas and Philadelphia.
 
Civil segment income from construction operations decreased by $3.5 million (or 12.8%), from $27.3 million in 2010 to $23.8 million in 2011, due primarily to a decline in operating margin caused by the substantial completion of several projects in the New York metropolitan area.  This decrease was partly offset by the recent acquisitions which contributed approximately $10.5 million in income from construction operations (net of Intangible Assets amortization) in the aggregate and the timing of ramp up on projects in the western United States.

Specialty Contractors segment income from construction operations increased by $33.4 million, from a loss of $0.3 million in 2010 to income of $33.1 million in 2011, due primarily to the recent acquisitions which contributed approximately $35.1 million in income from construction operations (net of Intangible Assets amortization) in the aggregate.

Management Services income from construction operations increased by $2.5 million (or 86.2%), from $2.9 million in 2010 to $5.4 million in 2011, due primarily to the increase in revenues discussed above.

Other Income (Expense), net increased by $5.5 million from income of $0.4 million in 2010 to income of $5.9 million in 2011, due primarily to the bargain purchase gain recorded on the acquisition of Frontier-Kemper.  Interest Expense increased by $10.0 million from $1.6 million in 2010 to $11.6 million in 2011.  This increase was due primarily to interest recorded on our $300 million senior unsecured notes, which were issued in October 2010, our Term Loan, and on borrowings under our Revolving Facility.  The Provision for Income Taxes increased by $3.1 million (or 17.4%), from $17.8 million in 2010 to $20.9 million in 2011, due to the increase in pretax income.  The effective tax rate was 37.0% for 2011 and 36.5% for 2010.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011 with the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recorded Revenues of $2,601.6 million, Income from Construction Operations of $117.6 million and Net Income of $62.1 million.  Basic and Diluted earnings per common share for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $1.32 and $1.30, respectively, as compared to $1.75 and $1.73, respectively, for the third quarter of 2010. Our operating results decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2011, compared to the same period in 2010, due primarily to the substantial completion of successful large public works projects, and increased interest expense associated with our senior unsecured notes, Term Loan and borrowings under our Revolving Facility, offset by contributions from the acquisitions we have recently closed.

Building segment revenues decreased by $385.9 million (or 20.9%), from $1,849.3 million in 2010 to $1,463.4 million in 2011, due primarily to the substantial completion of large hospitality and gaming and public works projects in Las Vegas and Philadelphia.  This decrease was offset by the acquisition of Anderson which contributed approximately $218.6 million in revenues.

Civil segment revenues increased by $65.0 million (or 13.2%), from $493.3 million in 2010 to $558.3 million in 2011, due primarily to the recent acquisitions which contributed approximately $153.2 million in revenues in the aggregate, offset by the substantial completion of projects in the metropolitan New York area.

Other Income (Expense), net increased by $7.0 million from expense of $0.4 million in 2010 to income of $6.6 million in 2011, due primarily to the bargain purchase gain recorded on the acquisition of Frontier-Kemper.  Interest Expense increased by $19.6 million, from $6.4 million in 2010 to $26.0 million in 2011.  This increase was primarily due to interest recorded on our $300 million senior unsecured notes, which were issued in October 2010, our Term Loan, and on borrowings under our Revolving Facility.  The Provision for Income Taxes decreased by $12.4 million (or 25.5%), from $48.6 million in 2010 to $36.2 million in 2011, due to the decrease in pretax income.  The effective tax rate was 36.8% for 2011 and 36.5% for 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Working Capital
At September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, cash held by us and available for general corporate purposes was $193.3 million and $455.5 million, respectively.  Our proportionate share of cash held by joint ventures and available only for joint venture-related uses, including distributions to joint venture partners, was $80.0 million and $15.9 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively, and our Restricted Cash was $35.8 million and $23.6 million at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively.

A summary of cash flows for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 is set forth below:

Cash at end of period

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we used $123.9 million in cash to fund operating activities, primarily due to cash payments made for income taxes, interest and the timing of collections in the Specialty Contractors segment.  We used $373.9 million in cash to fund investing activities, primarily for the acquisitions discussed above.  In addition, we used cash to purchase construction equipment and to fund the deferred purchase price of an acquisition made in a prior year.  We received $299.7 million in cash from financing activities, primarily due to our outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Facility and the financing of a portion of our construction equipment fleet.

Working capital increased by $89.1 million, from $592.9 million at December 31, 2010 to $682.0 million at September 30, 2011, which primarily reflects working capital assumed through the acquisitons discussed above, offset by cash used to complete these acquisitions. The current ratio decreased from 1.61 at December 31, 2010 to 1.48 at September 30, 2011.

Long-term Investments
At September 30, 2011, we had investments in auction rate securities (“ARS”) of $88.1 million, which are reflected at fair value. Our investment policy is to manage our assets to achieve our goals of preserving principal, maintaining adequate liquidity at all times, and maximizing returns subject to our investment guidelines. The current overall liquidity concerns in capital markets have affected our ability to liquidate many of our investments in auction rate securities. However, subsequent to September 30, 2011, approximately $21.1 million of our ARS were redeemed at par.  As such, we classified this portion of our ARS as “available-for-sale” short-term Investments in the Other Current Assets line item of our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at September 30, 2011, and the remaining $67.1 million has been classified as “available-for-sale” Long-term Investments.  Based on our ability to access our cash equivalent investments and our available Revolving Facility, which was expanded in August 2011 by $40 million, we do not expect that the short-term lack of liquidity of our ARS investments will materially affect our overall liquidity position or our ability to execute our current business plan.

Long-term Debt
On August 3, 2011, we entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A.  The Credit Agreement amends and restates in its entirety an existing Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated May 4, 2011 among the Company and Bank of America, N.A. (the “Existing Agreement”), which provided for a $260 million revolving credit facility and an additional $99.6 million under a supplemental facility.

The Credit Agreement replaces the Existing Agreement and allows us to borrow up to $300 million on a revolving credit basis (the “Revolving Facility”), with a $50 million sublimit for letters of credit, and an additional $200 million term loan (the “Term Loan”).  Subject to certain conditions, we have the option to increase the base facility by up to an additional $50 million.  Any outstanding loans under the Revolving Facility mature on August 3, 2016, while the Term Loan includes quarterly installments of principal and interest payable over a five-year period. Similar to the Existing Agreement, the Credit Agreement requires us to comply with certain financial and other covenants including minimum net worth, minimum fixed charge coverage and maximum leverage ratios.  We are currently in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Agreement.  For a description of additional material terms of the Credit Agreement, see Note 10 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

On August 26, 2011, we entered into a swap agreement (“Swap Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. to establish a long-term interest rate for the Term Loan discussed above.  The Swap Agreement will become effective for the Term Loan principal balance outstanding at January 31, 2012 and will remain effective through the maturity date of the Term Loan.  Amounts outstanding under the Swap Agreement will bear interest at a rate equal to, the Applicable Rate, as defined in the Credit Agreement (based upon our consolidated leverage ratio) plus 97.5 basis points. The Swap Agreement includes quarterly installments of principal and monthly installments of interest payable through the maturity date of the Term Loan.

We had $132.0 million in outstanding borrowings under our Revolving Facility as of September 30, 2011, and we utilized the Revolving Facility for letters of credit in the amount of $3.0 million.  Accordingly, at September 30, 2011, we had $165.0 million available to borrow under the Credit Agreement.  We believe that our financial position and credit arrangements are sufficient to support our current backlog and anticipated new work.

Long-term debt, excluding current maturities of $73.8 million, was $759.0 million at September 30, 2011, an increase of $384.6 million from $374.4 million at December 31, 2010 primarily due to our Term Loan and $132.0 million in outstanding borrowings on our Revolving Facility.  As a result, our long-term debt to equity ratio increased from 0.29x at December 31, 2010 to 0.55x at September 30, 2011.

There were no other material changes in our off-balance sheet arrangements and contractual obligations as of September 30, 2011.

Dividends
There were no cash dividends declared or paid on our outstanding common stock during the periods presented herein.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There has been no material change in our exposure to market risk from that described in Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating and implementing possible controls and procedures. The effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures is necessarily limited by the staff and other resources available to us and, although we have designed our disclosure controls and procedures to address the geographic diversity of our operations, this diversity inherently may limit the effectiveness of those controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.  As part of our integration of Fisk, Anderson, Frontier-Kemper, Lunda, GreenStar and Becho, we are in the process of incorporating our controls and procedures into the operations of these newly acquired entities.

In connection with Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we will continue to review and assess the adequacy of our disclosure controls and procedures, including our internal control over financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our business.

Part II. - Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time in the ordinary course of business, we are subject to claims, asserted or unasserted, or named as a party to lawsuits or investigations.  Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations.  Moreover, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with any certainty and, in the case of more complex legal proceedings, the results are difficult to predict at all.  We disclosed information about certain of our legal proceedings in Part I, Item 3 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. For an update to those disclosures, see Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors

Information regarding risk factors affecting our business is discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.  There have been no material changes from those risk factors during 2011.
