Highlight of Business Operations:

Consolidated revenues were $151.8 million in fiscal 2011, an increase of $14.1 million, or 10.2%, from consolidated revenues of $137.7 million in fiscal 2010. The improvement in consolidated revenues resulted from an increase of $19.8 million in Construction Services revenues offset by a decrease of $5.7 million in Repair and Maintenance Services revenues.

Consolidated SG&A expenses were $10.6 million in fiscal 2011 compared to $10.1 million in the prior fiscal year. The net increase was primarily related to costs of $0.5 million associated with an internal investigation discussed in Note 10 Internal Investigation of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this report. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue decreased to 7.0% in fiscal 2011 compared to 7.3% in the prior fiscal year.

Revenues for the Construction Services segment were $97.5 million in fiscal 2011, compared with $77.7 million in fiscal 2010. The increase of $19.8 million, or 25.5%, was primarily due to the growth in our Electrical and Instrumentation revenues, which increased to $29.9 million in fiscal 2011 compared to $13.5 million a year earlier, and Aboveground Storage Tank revenues, which increased to $40.8 million in fiscal 2011, versus $31.4 million in fiscal 2010. Partially offsetting these increases were lower Downstream Petroleum and Specialty revenues which decreased to $20.9 million and $5.9 million in fiscal 2011, compared to $24.4 million and $8.4 million a year earlier.

Revenues for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment were $54.3 million in fiscal 2011 compared to $60.0 million in fiscal 2010. The decline was due to a lower volume of recurring repair and maintenance work which has resulted in lower Aboveground Storage Tank revenues, which decreased to $21.2 million in fiscal 2011 compared to $26.8 million a year earlier, and lower Downstream Petroleum revenues, which decreased to $22.4 million in fiscal 2011 compared to $27.7 million if fiscal 2010. These declines were partially offset by higher Electrical and Instrumentation revenues, which increased to $10.7 million in fiscal 2011, compared to $5.5 million a year earlier.

At September 30, 2010 the Construction Services segment had a backlog of $225.0 million, as compared to a backlog of $197.7 million as of June 30, 2010. The increase of $27.3 million is due to increases in Aboveground Storage Tank of $39.5 million and Specialty of $2.3 million, partially offset by decreases in Electrical and Instrumentation of $7.5 million and Downstream Petroleum of $7.0 million. The backlog at September 30, 2010 and June 30, 2010 for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment was $170.3 million and $155.5 million, respectively. The increase of $14.8 million is due to increases in Electrical and Instrumentation of $9.8 million and Aboveground Storage Tank of $9.3 million, partially offset by the decline in Downstream Petroleum of $4.3 million.

Investing activities used $2.3 million of cash in the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures included $1.1 million for the purchase of transportation equipment, $0.8 million for office equipment and software, and $0.4 million for construction equipment.
