Highlight of Business Operations:

Furmanite provides on-line repairs of leaks (leak sealing) in valves, pipes and other components of piping systems and related equipment typically used in flow-process industries (see Customers and Markets below). Other on-line services provided include hot tapping, line stopping, line isolation (a new service line introduced in 2010), composite repair and valve testing. In addition, the Company provides off-line services including on-site machining, bolting, valve repair, heat treating and repair on such systems and equipment. These services tend to complement leak sealing and other on-line services since these off-line services are usually performed while a plant or piping system is not operating. In addition, Furmanite provides concrete repair, valve and other product manufacturing, and heat exchanger design, manufacture and repair. Furmanite also performs diagnostic services on valves by, among other methods, utilizing its patented Trevitest system. In performing these services, technicians generally work at the customers location, frequently responding on an emergency basis. Over its history, Furmanite has established a reputation for delivering quality service and helping its customers avoid or delay costly plant or equipment shutdowns. For each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2009 and 2008, on-line services represented approximately 37%, 36%, and 32%, respectively, of total revenues, while off-line services accounted for approximately 46%, 46%, and 54%, respectively, of total revenue and other industrial services represented approximately 17%, 18%, and 14%, respectively, of total revenues.
