Matrix Service Company

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Matrix Service Company (“Matrix Service”, “we”, “our”, “us” or the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X for interim financial statements required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and do not include all information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. However, the information furnished reflects all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments described herein that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods.

The accompanying financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements for the year ended May 31, 2009, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year then ended. The Company’s business is cyclical due to the scope and timing of projects released by its customer base. In addition, Matrix Service generates a significant portion of its revenues under a comparatively few major contracts, which often do not commence or terminate in the same period from one year to the next. Accordingly, results for any interim period may not necessarily be indicative of future operating results.

Note 2 – Change in Fiscal Year

On July 30, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the Company’s fiscal year from May 31 to June 30. As a result of this change, the Company has a transition period for the one month ended June 30, 2009 (“June Transition Period”). The unaudited results of operations and changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the June Transition Period are presented in the financial statements in this Form 10-Q. The audited results of operations and changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the June Transition Period will be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending June 30, 2010.

The Company will report the following periods for fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 in its Form 10-Q and Form 10-K filings:


Period	Fiscal 2010	Fiscal 2009

June Transition Period	One month ending June 30, 2009	Not applicable

First quarter	Three months ending September 30, 2009	Three months ended August 31, 2008

Second quarter	Three months ending December 31, 2009	Three months ended November 30, 2008

Third quarter	Three months ending March 31, 2010	Three months ended February 28, 2009

Fourth quarter	Three months ending June 30, 2010	Three months ended May 31, 2009

We did not recast the results for the prior fiscal periods because our financial reporting processes in place at the time included certain procedures that are only performed on a quarterly basis. Consequently, to recast those periods would have been impractical and would not have been cost-justified. Furthermore, we believe the quarters reported in fiscal 2009 provide a meaningful comparison to the fiscal 2010 quarters and there are no factors, seasonal or otherwise, that materially impact the comparability of information or trends.

Note 3 – Goodwill

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill by segment from May 31, 2009 to December 31, 2009 are as follows:


	Construction Services		Repair and Maintenance Services		Total
	(In thousands)
Balance at May 31, 2009	$	5,595	$	20,173	$	25,768
Purchase price adjustments		832		554		1,386
Translation adjustment		—		94		94

Balance at December 31, 2009	$	6,427	$	20,821	$	27,248

The purchase price adjustments related to the February 5, 2009 acquisition of S.M. Electric Company, Inc. and were recorded in both the June Transition Period and the first six months of fiscal 2010. The adjustments primarily related to the value of contracts that were in progress at the acquisition date.

Note 4 – Uncompleted Contracts

Contract terms of the Company’s construction contracts generally provide for progress billings based on project milestones. The excess of costs incurred and estimated earnings over amounts billed on uncompleted contracts is reported as a current asset. The excess of amounts billed over costs incurred and estimated earnings recognized on uncompleted contracts is reported as a current liability. Gross and net amounts on uncompleted contracts are as follows:


	December 31, 2009		May 31, 2009
	(In thousands)
Costs incurred and estimated earnings recognized on uncompleted contracts	$	815,168	$	1,071,904
Billings on uncompleted contracts		813,894		1,087,590

	$	1,274	$	(15,686	)


Shown on balance sheet as:
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts	$	36,813	$	35,619
Billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings		35,539		51,305

	$	1,274	$	(15,686	)

Progress billings in accounts receivable at December 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009 included retentions to be collected within one year of $17.1 million and $15.2 million, respectively. Contract retentions collectible beyond one year are included in Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $2.8 million at May 31, 2009. All retention balances as of December 31, 2009 were expected to be collected within the next 12 months.

Note 5 – Debt

The Company has a five-year, $75.0 million senior revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) that expires on November 30, 2012. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets.

Availability under the Credit Facility is as follows:


	December 31, 2009		May 31, 2009
	(In thousands)
Credit Facility	$	75,000	$	75,000
Letters of credit		9,541		7,263

Availability under the Credit Facility	$	65,459	$	67,737

The Credit Facility may be used for working capital, issuance of letters of credit or other lawful corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants that place certain restrictions on the Company, including limits on new debt, operating and capital lease obligations, asset sales and certain distributions, including dividends.

Key provisions of the Credit Facility include the following:

•

Share repurchases are limited to $25.0 million in any calendar year.

•

Acquisitions are unlimited so long as the Company’s Senior Leverage Ratio on a pro forma basis as of the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the acquisition is below 1.00 to 1.00 and availability under the Credit Facility is at or above 50% after consummation of the acquisition. If the Senior Leverage Ratio on a pro forma basis as of the end of the fiscal quarter immediately preceding the acquisition is over 1.00 to 1.00 but below 1.75 to 1.00, acquisitions will be limited to $25.0 million in a twelve month period, provided there is at least $25.0 million of availability under the Credit Facility after the consummation of the acquisition.

•

Tangible Net Worth is required to be no less than the sum of $110.0 million, plus the net proceeds of any issuance of equity that occurs after November 30, 2008, plus 50% of all positive quarterly net income after November 30, 2008.

•

Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility will bear interest at LIBOR or an Alternate Base Rate, plus in each case, an additional margin based on the Senior Leverage Ratio.

•

The additional margin on the LIBOR-based loans is between 2.00% and 2.75% based on the Senior Leverage Ratio.

•

The additional margin on the Alternate Base Rate loans is between 1.00% and 1.75% based on the Senior Leverage Ratio.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

•

The Alternate Base Rate is the greater of the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.00%.

•

The Unused Revolving Credit Facility Fee is between 0.35% and 0.50% based on the Senior Leverage Ratio.

Other significant financial covenants include the following:

•

The Senior Leverage Ratio must not exceed 2.50 to 1.00;

•

The Asset Coverage Ratio must be greater than or equal to 1.45 to 1.00; and,

•

The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio must be greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00.

The Company is currently in compliance with all affirmative, negative, and financial covenants under the Credit Facility and is at the lowest margin tier for LIBOR and Alternate Base Rate loans and the lowest tier for the Unused Revolving Credit Facility Fee.

Note 6 – Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are computed using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized based on temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using presently enacted tax rates. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts for income tax purposes.

Note 7 – Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance Reserves

The Company maintains insurance coverage for various aspects of our operations. However, exposure to potential losses is retained through the use of deductibles, coverage limits and self-insured retentions.

Typically our contracts require us to indemnify our customers for injury, damage or loss arising from the performance of our services and provide warranties for materials and workmanship. The Company may also be required to name the customer as an additional insured under certain insurance policies up to the limits of insurance available, or we may have to purchase special insurance policies or surety bonds for specific customers or provide letters of credit issued under our Credit Facility in lieu of bonds to satisfy performance and financial guarantees on some projects. Matrix Service maintains an uncommitted performance and payment bonding line sufficient to support the business. The Company generally requires its subcontractors to indemnify the Company and the Company’s customer and name the Company as an additional insured for activities arising out of the subcontractors’ presence at the customer’s location. We also require certain subcontractors to provide additional insurance policies, including surety bonds in favor of the Company, to secure the subcontractors’ work or as required by the subcontract.

Material Legal Proceeding

On November 6, 2005, two employees of the Company’s subsidiary Matrix Service Industrial Contractors, Inc. (“MSICI”), were fatally injured in an accident that occurred at a refinery in Delaware City, Delaware. The estates of both employees have sued the refinery owner for an unspecified amount of damages, including punitive damages. On January 10, 2007 the refinery owner filed a complaint in the Superior Court of the State of Delaware, New Castle County, against the Company and MSICI seeking status as an additional insured under the Company’s insurance policy and for indemnification for any amounts which it may be required to pay to the estates of the deceased.

The estate of one of the deceased has settled its claim with the refinery owner, and the Company’s insurer paid a portion of the settlement on the refinery owner’s behalf as an additional insured. A trial involving the claim of the other estate against the refinery owner is scheduled for February 2010. The Company believes that any amounts which it may be required to pay the refinery owner beyond what it has previously reserved will be covered by its insurance policy.

Unapproved Change Orders and Claims

As of December 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenues for unapproved change orders of $1.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. There were no claims included in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts at December 31, 2009 or May 31, 2009. Generally, collection of amounts related to unapproved change orders and claims is expected within twelve months. However, customers generally will not pay these amounts until final resolution of related claims, and accordingly, collection of these amounts may extend beyond one year.

Other

The Company and its subsidiaries are named as defendants in various other legal actions and are vigorously defending each of them. It is the opinion of management that none of the known legal actions will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company has two reportable segments, the Construction Services segment and the Repair and Maintenance Services segment.

The primary services of our Construction Services segment are aboveground storage tanks for the bulk storage/terminal industry, capital construction for the downstream petroleum industry, specialty construction, and electrical/instrumentation services for various industries. These services, including civil/structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation, millwrighting, and fabrication, are provided for projects of varying complexities, schedule durations, and budgets. Our project experience includes renovations, retrofits, modifications and expansions to existing facilities as well as construction of new facilities.

The primary services of our Repair and Maintenance Services segment are aboveground storage tank repair and maintenance services including tank inspection, cleaning and ASME code repairs, planned major and routine maintenance for the downstream petroleum industry, specialty repair and maintenance services and electrical and instrumentation repair and maintenance.

Certain corporate assets including cash, property, plant and equipment, deferred taxes, and prepaid expenses have been presented as “Other”.

The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment sales and transfers are generally recorded at cost; therefore, no significant intercompany profit or loss is recognized. Any intercompany profit is eliminated in consolidation.

Accounting standards that have recently been issued that may impact our Consolidated Financial Statements include the following.

FASB ASC 805 – Business Combinations

FASB ASC 805 – “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”) applies to all business combinations and establishes guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interests in the acquired company and goodwill. Most of these items are recognized at their full fair value on the acquisition date, including acquisitions where the acquirer obtains control but less than 100 percent ownership in the acquired company. ASC 805 also requires transaction costs to be recognized as expense as incurred and establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. ASC 805 is effective for business combinations with an acquisition date in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be evaluated and implemented in conjunction with any future acquisitions.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies from those reported in our fiscal 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. For more information on our critical accounting policies, see Part II, Item 7 of our fiscal 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following section provides certain information with respect to our critical accounting estimates as of the close of our most recent quarterly period.

Unapproved Change Orders and Claims

As of December 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009 costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenues for unapproved change orders of $1.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. There were no revenues related to claims included in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts at December 31, 2009 or May 31, 2009.

In addition to the unapproved change orders and claims that arise in the normal course of business, we are currently negotiating the settlement and collection of claim receivables that were acquired in a recent acquisition. These claim receivables were recorded at their estimated net realizable values, which included an allowance for the estimated collection costs. We believe that the value of the claim receivables currently recorded will be recovered through future collections of cash. However, the amounts that will be ultimately collected are unpredictable and the amounts realized may be significantly different than the recorded amounts which could result in an adjustment to future earnings. In the second quarter of fiscal 2010, the cumulative collection costs incurred exceeded the allowance for estimated collection costs resulting in a charge of $0.9 million which was recorded in SG&A expense. The Company will incur additional collection costs in future periods which will be charged to earnings since the allowance for collection costs has been exceeded. Terms of the settlements will determine whether or not these costs can be recovered.

Insurance Reserves

We maintain insurance coverage for various aspects of our operations. However, we retain exposure to potential losses through the use of deductibles, coverage limits and self-insured retentions. As of December 31, 2009 and May 31, 2009, insurance reserves totaling $7.2 million, and $7.6 million, respectively, are included on our balance sheet. These amounts represent our best estimate of our ultimate obligations for asserted claims, insurance premium obligations and claims incurred but not yet reported at the balance sheet dates. We establish reserves for claims using a combination of actuarially determined estimates and a case-by-case evaluation of the underlying claim data and update our evaluations as further information becomes known. Judgments and assumptions are inherent in our reserve accruals; as a result, changes in assumptions or claims experience could result in changes to these estimates in the future. Additionally, the actual results of claim settlements could differ from the amounts estimated.

Goodwill

At May 31, 2009 the estimated fair value of the Construction Services segment exceeded its carrying value by 128% and the estimated fair value of the Repair and Maintenance Services segment exceeded its carrying value by 59%. Based on the excess of estimated fair value over carrying value at May 31, 2009 and the absence of any indicators of impairment at December 31, 2009, we do not currently anticipate recording a goodwill impairment charge for either of our reportable segments.

-17-

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Other than the new pronouncements reported in our fiscal 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC and those discussed in Note 11 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no new accounting pronouncements that are likely to have a material effect on us.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The Company has two reportable segments, Construction Services and Repair and Maintenance Services. The majority of the work for both segments is performed in the United States with approximately 5.6% of revenues generated in Canada during the six months ended December 31, 2009.

The primary services of our Repair and Maintenance Services segment are aboveground storage tank repair and maintenance services, planned major and routine maintenance for the downstream petroleum industry, specialty repair and maintenance services and electrical and instrumentation repair and maintenance.

Significant fluctuations in revenues, gross profits and operating results are discussed below on a consolidated basis and for each segment. Revenues fluctuate due to many factors, including the mix of work and project schedules, which are dependent on the level and timing of customer releases of new business.

Three Months Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to the Three Months Ended November 30, 2008

Consolidated

Consolidated revenues were $150.4 million in fiscal 2010, a decrease of $26.5 million, or 15.0%, from consolidated revenues of $176.9 million in fiscal 2009. The decline in consolidated revenues was the result of decreases in the Construction Services segment of $19.5 million and in the Repair and Maintenance Services segment of $7.0 million. We did not experience the full effect of the recent recession in the markets in which we operate until later in fiscal 2009. Therefore, the comparable prior year revenues were only partially impacted by the effects of the economic recession.

Consolidated gross profit decreased from $26.4 million in fiscal 2009 to $18.4 million in fiscal 2010. The decrease of $8.0 million was due to lower revenues in fiscal 2010 and lower gross margins, which decreased to 12.3% in fiscal 2010 compared to 14.9% a year earlier. Gross margins in the Repair and Maintenance Services segment were 9.4% in the current fiscal year compared to 17.7% in the prior fiscal year. Construction Services segment gross margins were 14.8% in the current fiscal quarter compared to 12.7% in fiscal 2009. Gross margins in both segments were negatively affected by a lower volume of business available to recover construction overhead costs.

Consolidated SG&A expenses were $11.4 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $11.8 million in the prior fiscal year. The decline in SG&A expenses is due to our on-going cost reduction efforts related primarily to employee related costs and professional fees partially offset by a charge of $0.9 million incurred in fiscal 2010 related to higher than anticipated collection costs on claim receivables. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 7.6% in fiscal 2010 compared to 6.7% in the prior fiscal year primarily due to lower revenues in fiscal 2010.

Net interest expense was $0.2 million in fiscal 2010. There was no net interest expense in fiscal 2009. Net interest expense in fiscal 2010 was primarily related to the non-cash amortization of Credit Facility deal fees, letter of credit and commitment fees paid under the Credit Facility and cash interest on our capital leases that was partially offset by interest income generated from investing excess cash during the period.

-19-

Other income in fiscal 2010 was $0.5 million and related primarily to a foreign currency transaction gain. Other income in fiscal 2009 was $0.2 million and related primarily to discounts taken for early payments to our vendors and settlement proceeds.

Income before income tax expense decreased to $7.4 million in fiscal 2010 from $14.7 million in fiscal 2009. This $7.3 million reduction was primarily due to the unfavorable impact of lower revenues and gross margins.

The effective tax rates for fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2009 were 38.4% and 31.3%, respectively. The prior fiscal year included a benefit of $1.0 million as certain operating loss carryforwards previously reserved were utilized or deemed to be fully utilizable.

Net income for fiscal 2010 decreased to $4.5 million, or $0.17 per fully diluted share, versus net income in fiscal 2009 of $10.1 million, or $0.38 per fully diluted share.

Construction Services

Revenues for the Construction Services segment were $80.6 million, compared with $100.1 million in fiscal 2009. The decrease of $19.5 million, or 19.5%, was primarily due to delays in project awards and a decline in our customers’ capital spending which led to lower Downstream Petroleum revenues, which decreased 51.3% to $20.5 million in fiscal 2010, compared to $42.1 million a year earlier, and lower Aboveground Storage Tank revenues, which decreased $9.0 million to $36.0 million in fiscal 2010, compared to $45.0 million a year earlier, partially offset by higher Electrical and Instrumentation revenues, which increased 83.9% to $16.0 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $8.7 million a year earlier and higher Specialty revenues, which improved $3.8 million.

Gross profit decreased from $12.8 million in fiscal 2009 to $11.9 million in fiscal 2010 due to lower revenues partially offset by higher gross margins which increased from 12.7% in fiscal 2009 to 14.8% in fiscal 2010. The gross margin improvement was due to higher direct margins partially offset by the unfavorable impact of unrecovered construction overhead costs caused by a lower volume of business.

Operating income and income before income tax expense were $5.0 million and $5.1 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $5.6 million and $5.7 million in fiscal 2009.

Repair and Maintenance Services

Revenues for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment were $69.8 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $76.8 million in fiscal 2009. The change was due to our customers applying discretion in the scope and timing of their maintenance programs which led to lower Aboveground Storage Tank revenues, which decreased $26.2 million to $25.1 million in fiscal 2010, compared to $51.3 million a year earlier. Largely offsetting this decline was an increase of $18.3 million in Downstream Petroleum revenues, which increased 86.3% to $39.5 million in fiscal 2010, compared to $21.2 million in the prior fiscal year. Electrical and Instrumentation revenues were $5.2 million in fiscal 2010, compared to $4.3 million a year earlier.

Gross profit decreased from $13.6 million in fiscal 2009 to $6.5 million in fiscal 2010 due to a reduction in revenues and lower gross margins. Gross margins were 9.4% in fiscal 2010 compared to 17.7% in fiscal 2009. The gross margin reduction was due to lower direct margins and the unfavorable impact of unrecovered construction overhead costs caused by a lower volume of business.

Operating income and income before income tax expense decreased to $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in fiscal 2010 compared to $9.0 million and $9.1 million in fiscal 2009.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2009 Compared to Six Months Ended November 30, 2008

Consolidated

Consolidated revenues were $288.1 million in fiscal 2010, a decrease of $75.5 million, or 20.8%, from consolidated revenues of $363.6 million in fiscal 2009. The decline in consolidated revenues was the result of decreases in the Construction Services segment of $56.6 million and the Repair and Maintenance Services segment of $18.9 million. We did not experience the full effect of the recent recession in the markets in which we operate until later in fiscal 2009. Therefore, the comparable prior year revenues were only partially impacted by the effects of the economic recession.

-20-

Consolidated gross profit decreased from $53.0 million in fiscal 2009 to $35.9 million in fiscal 2010. The reduction of $17.1 million was due primarily to the decrease in revenues and lower gross margins of 12.4% in fiscal 2010 compared to 14.6% in fiscal 2009. Gross margins in the Repair and Maintenance Services segment, were 9.9% in the current fiscal year versus 17.0% in the prior fiscal year. Construction Services segment gross margins were 14.5% in the current fiscal year compared to 12.9% in fiscal 2009. Gross margins in both segments were negatively affected by a lower volume of business available to recover construction overhead costs.

Consolidated SG&A expenses decreased $2.3 million, or 9.7%, in fiscal 2010 to $21.5 million from $23.8 million for fiscal 2009. The decrease in SG&A expense was due to the on-going cost reduction efforts related primarily to employee related costs and professional fees partially offset by a charge of $0.9 million incurred in fiscal 2010 related to higher than anticipated collection costs on claim receivables. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 7.5% in fiscal 2010 compared to 6.6% in the prior fiscal year as the effect of the reduction in SG&A expenses was more than offset by the impact of lower fiscal 2010 revenues.

Net interest expense was $0.3 million in fiscal 2010. There was no net interest expense in fiscal 2009. Net interest expense in fiscal 2010 was primarily related to the non-cash amortization of Credit Facility deal fees, letter of credit and commitment fees paid under the Credit Facility and cash interest on our capital leases that was partially offset by interest income generated from investing excess cash during the period.

Other income in fiscal 2010 was $0.5 million and related primarily to a foreign currency transaction gain. Other income in fiscal 2009 was $0.9 million and related primarily to insurance proceeds received.

Income before income tax expense decreased to $14.6 million in fiscal 2010 from $30.1 million in fiscal 2009. This $15.5 million reduction was primarily a result of the unfavorable impact of lower revenues and gross margins partially offset by lower SG&A expenses.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2010 was 38.2% compared to 34.8% in fiscal 2009. In fiscal 2009, certain operating loss carryforwards previously reserved were utilized or deemed to be fully utilizable resulting in a benefit of $1.0 million.

Net income for fiscal 2010 decreased to $9.0 million, or $0.34 per fully diluted share, versus net income in fiscal 2009 of $19.6 million, or $0.74 per fully diluted share.

Construction Services

Revenues for the Construction Services segment were $158.3 million, compared with $214.9 million in the same period a year earlier. The decrease of $56.6 million, or 26.3%, was due to delays in project awards and a decline in our customers’ capital spending which has resulted in lower Downstream Petroleum revenues, which decreased 48.0% to $45.0 million in fiscal 2010, compared to $86.5 million a year earlier, and lower Aboveground Storage Tank revenues, which decreased $33.5 million to $67.4 million in fiscal 2010, compared to $100.9 million a year earlier. These decreases were partially offset by higher Electrical and Instrumentation revenues, which increased 106.3% to $29.5 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $14.3 million a year earlier, and higher Specialty revenues which increased $3.3 million to $16.4 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $13.1 million in fiscal 2009.

Gross profit decreased from $27.8 million in fiscal 2009 to $23.0 million in fiscal 2010 due to the reduction in revenues partially offset by higher gross margins which improved to 14.5% compared to 12.9% in fiscal 2009. The gross margin improvement was due to higher direct margins partially offset by the unfavorable impact of unrecovered construction overhead costs caused by a lower volume of business.

Operating income and income before income tax expense were $10.3 million and $10.4 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $13.1 million and $13.4 million in fiscal 2009.

-21-

Repair and Maintenance Services

Revenues for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment were $129.8 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $148.7 million in fiscal 2009. The decline was due to our customers applying discretion in the scope and timing of their maintenance programs which has resulted in lower Aboveground Storage Tank revenues, which decreased 47.7% to $51.9 million in fiscal 2010, compared to $99.2 million in the prior fiscal year. This decline was partially offset by higher Electrical and Instrumentation and Downstream Petroleum revenues, which increased to $67.2 million and $10.7 million in fiscal 2010, compared to $42.4 million and $7.0 million a year earlier.

Gross profit decreased from $25.2 million in fiscal 2009 to $12.9 million in fiscal 2010 due to the reduction in revenues and lower margins which were 9.9% in fiscal 2010 and 17.0% in fiscal 2009. The gross margin reduction was due to lower direct margins and the unfavorable impact of unrecovered construction overhead costs caused by a lower volume of business.

Operating income and income before income tax expense decreased to $4.1 million and $4.3 million, respectively, in fiscal 2010, compared to $16.1 million and $16.7 million in fiscal 2009.

One Month Ended June 30, 2009 Compared to One Month Ended June 30, 2008

Revenues declined $14.2 million, or 23.7%, from $60.0 million in the prior period to $45.8 million in fiscal 2010. The decline was due to lower Construction Services revenues, which decreased $7.8 million from $36.3 million in the prior period to $28.5 million in fiscal 2010, and lower Repair and Maintenance Services revenues, which decreased $6.4 million from $23.7 million in the prior period to $17.3 million in fiscal 2010.

Gross profit decreased $4.7 million to $5.1 million in fiscal 2010 compared to $9.8 million a year earlier. The decline in gross profit was due to lower revenues, which decreased 23.7%, and lower gross margins which decreased from 16.3% in the prior period to 11.2% in fiscal 2010. The decline in gross margins was due to lower margins in the Construction Services segment which decreased from 15.4% to 11.4% and lower margins in the Repair and Maintenance Services segment which decreased to 11.0% compared to 17.6% a year earlier. Gross margins in both segments were negatively affected by a lower volume of business available to recover construction overhead costs in fiscal 2010

Income before income taxes decreased $4.5 million, from $6.1 million in the prior period to $1.6 million in the current fiscal year. The decline was due to lower gross profit, which decreased $4.7 million, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses.

Net income for fiscal 2010 decreased to $1.0 million, or $0.04 per fully diluted share, versus net income of $3.7 million, or $0.14 per fully diluted share for the prior period.

Backlog

We define backlog as the total dollar amount of revenues that we expect to recognize as a result of performing work that has been awarded to us through a signed contract that we consider firm. The following contract types are considered firm:

•

fixed-price arrangements;

•

minimum customer commitments on cost plus arrangements; and

•

certain time and material contracts in which the estimated contract value is firm or can be estimated with a reasonable amount of certainty in both timing and amounts.

For long-term maintenance contracts we include only the amounts that we expect to recognize into revenue over the next 12 months. For all other arrangements, we calculate backlog as the estimated contract amount less the revenue recognized as of the reporting date.

Three Months Ended December 30, 2009

At December 31, 2009, the Construction Services segment had a backlog of $182.4 million, as compared to a backlog of $167.9 million at September 30, 2009. The increase of $14.5 million was due to higher Electrical and Instrumentation and Downstream Petroleum backlog which increased $24.3 million and $10.9 million, respectively, partially offset by a decrease in Aboveground Storage Tank backlog of $20.7. Specialty was unchanged at $10.5 million. Project cancellations of $5.6 million contributed to the backlog reductions in Aboveground Storage Tank.

Backlog at December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2009 for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment was $141.3 million and $160.3 million, respectively. The decrease of $19.0 million was due to decreases in Aboveground Storage Tank and Downstream Petroleum backlog of $19.2 million and $7.9 million, partially offset by an increase of $8.1 million in Electrical and Instrumentation backlog.

Six Months Ended December 31, 2009

At December 31, 2009, the Construction Services segment backlog was $182.4 million, as compared to $224.3 million as of June 30, 2009. The decrease of $41.9 million was due to declines in Aboveground Storage Tank, Specialty, and Downstream Petroleum backlog of $48.7 million, $16.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. Partially offsetting these reductions was an increase in Electrical and Instrumentation backlog of $26.1 million. Project cancellations negatively impacted backlog and totaled $5.6 million, $2.5 million and $10.1 million in Aboveground Storage Tank, Downstream Petroleum and Specialty, respectively.

Backlog at December 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009 for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment was $141.3 million and $167.8 million, respectively. The decrease of $26.5 million was due to decreases in the Aboveground Storage Tank backlog of $26.0 million and the Electrical and Instrumentation backlog of $2.2 million partially offset by an increase in the Downstream Petroleum backlog of $1.7 million.

The following table provides a summary of changes in our backlog for the six months ended December 31, 2009:

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

EBITDA is a supplemental, non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. We have presented EBITDA because it is used by the financial community as a method of measuring our performance and of evaluating the market value of companies considered to be in similar businesses. We believe that the line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income entitled “Net Income” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA. Since EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net earnings as an indicator of operating performance. EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. As EBITDA excludes certain financial information compared with net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the type of events and transactions that are excluded. Our non-GAAP performance measure, EBITDA, has certain material limitations as follows:

•

It does not include interest expense. Because we have borrowed money from time to time to finance our operations, interest expense is a necessary and ongoing part of our costs and has assisted us in generating revenue. Therefore, any measure that excludes interest expense has material limitations.

•

It does not include income taxes. Because the payment of income taxes is a necessary and ongoing part of our operations, any measure that excludes income taxes has material limitations.

•

It does not include depreciation or amortization expense. Because we use capital and intangible assets to generate revenue, depreciation and amortization expense is a necessary element of our cost structure. Therefore, any measure that excludes depreciation or amortization expense has material limitations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Overview

We define liquidity as the ongoing ability to pay our liabilities as they become due, fund business operations and meet all contractual obligations. Our primary sources of liquidity for the one month ended June 30, 2009 and the six months ended December 31, 2009 were cash on hand at the beginning of the period and cash flows from operations. Cash on hand at December 31, 2009 totaled $61.4 million and availability under the Credit Facility totaled $65.5 million resulting in total liquidity of $126.9 million. Factors that routinely impact our liquidity include, but are not limited to:

•

Changes in working capital that occurs as the volume of our business fluctuates

•

Contract terms that determine the timing of billings to customers and the collection of those billings

•

Some cost plus and fixed price customer contracts are billed based on milestones which may require us to incur significant expenditures prior to collections from our customers.

•

Time and material contracts are normally billed in arrears. Therefore, we are routinely required to carry these costs until they can be billed and collected.

•

Some of our large construction projects may require significant retentions or security in the form of letters of credit.

•

Capital expenditures

•

Strategic investments in new operations

•

Acquisitions of new businesses

•

Purchases of shares under our stock buyback program

•

Contract disputes or collection issues resulting from the failure of a significant customer

In fiscal 2009, we funded the acquisitions of S.M. Electric Company, Inc. and the purchase of certain assets, technology and resources for the design and construction of specialty cryogenic tanks with cash on hand. However, in the future we may elect to raise additional capital by issuing common stock, convertible notes, term debt or increase the capacity of our Credit Facility as necessary to fund our operations or to fund the acquisition of new businesses. We will continue to evaluate our working capital requirements and other factors to maintain sufficient liquidity.

Cash Flow in the Six Months Ended December 31, 2009

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash flow from operations for the six months ended December 31, 2009 totaled $11.9 million. The cash generated from operations was primarily due to profitable operating results, partially offset by an increase in working capital. The cash reduction caused by working capital changes was due primarily to cash paid to reduce accounts payable and accrued expenses and the funding of work to reduce billings on uncompleted contracts in excess of costs and estimated earnings, substantially offset by a reduction in accounts receivable.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Investing activities used $2.8 million of cash in the six months ended December 31, 2009 primarily due to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures included $0.9 million for construction equipment, $0.8 million for transportation equipment, $0.8 million for furniture and fixtures, and $0.3 million for land and buildings. Assets acquired through capital leases totaled $0.3 million and are reported as non-cash additions to Property, Plant and Equipment in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

-26-

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Financing activities used $0.9 million of cash in the six months ended December 31, 2009. The cash decrease is due to capital lease payments of $0.6 million and treasury stock purchases of $0.4 million partially offset by proceeds received from the issuance of common stock of $0.1 million.

Cash Flow in the June Transition Period

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operations generated $18.9 million in cash in the June Transition Period. The cash generated from operations was due primarily to a decrease in working capital and profitable operating results. The reduction in working capital was primarily due to cash received as a result of a reduction in accounts receivable partially offset by cash paid to reduce accounts payable.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Investing activities used $0.3 million of cash in the June Transition Period due to capital expenditures. Capital expenditures included $0.2 million for the purchase of furniture and fixtures and $0.1 million for the purchase of land and buildings. Purchases of construction and transportation equipment were not significant. Assets acquired through capital leases totaled less than $0.1 million and are reported as non-cash additions to Property, Plant and Equipment in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Cash proceeds from asset dispositions were less than $0.1 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Financing activities used $0.1 million in cash in the June Transition Period due to capital lease payments.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility

The Credit Facility is primarily used to facilitate the issuance of letters of credit and may be used to fund short-term changes in working capital, if necessary. At December 31, 2009, $9.5 million of letters of credit were outstanding to support certain workers’ compensation insurance programs and construction contracts. Availability at December 31, 2009 totaled $65.5 million. We believe the facility provides adequate liquidity and financial flexibility to support our expected growth.

Key provisions of the Credit Facility include the following:

•

Share repurchases are limited to $25.0 million in any calendar year.

•

-27-

•

Amounts borrowed under the Credit Facility will bear interest at LIBOR or an Alternate Base Rate, plus in each case, an additional margin based on the Senior Leverage Ratio.

•

The additional margin on the LIBOR-based loans is between 2.00% and 2.75% based on the Senior Leverage Ratio.

•

The additional margin on the Alternate Base Rate loans is between 1.00% and 1.75% based on the Senior Leverage Ratio.

•

The Alternate Base Rate is the greater of the Prime Rate, Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.00%.

•

The Unused Revolving Credit Facility Fee is between 0.35% and 0.50% based on the Senior Leverage Ratio.

Other significant financial covenants include the following:

•

The Senior Leverage Ratio must not exceed 2.50 to 1.00;

•

The Asset Coverage Ratio must be greater than or equal to 1.45 to 1.00; and,

•

The Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio must be greater than or equal to 1.25 to 1.00.

-28-

Dividend Policy

We have never paid cash dividends on our Common Stock, and the terms of our Credit Facility limits the amount of cash dividends we can pay. We currently intend to retain earnings to finance the growth of our business. Any payment of cash dividends in the future will depend upon our financial condition, capital requirements and earnings as well as other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Stock Repurchase Program and Treasury Shares

On February 4, 2009 our Board of Directors authorized a stock buyback program (“February 2009 Program”) that allows the Company to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock provided that such purchases do not exceed $25.0 million in any calendar year commencing in calendar year 2009 and continuing through calendar year 2012. The February 2009 Program replaced the previous stock buyback program that had been in place since October 2000. The Company did not purchase any common shares under the February 2009 Program during either the June Transition Period or the six months ended December 31, 2009. Matrix Service may purchase shares in future periods if sufficient liquidity exists and the Company believes that it is in the best interest of the shareholders.

In addition to any stock buyback program that may be in effect, the Company may withhold shares of Common Stock to satisfy the tax withholding obligations upon vesting of an employee’s deferred shares. Matrix Service withheld 44,334 shares in the six months ended December 31, 2009 to satisfy these obligations. These shares were returned to the Company’s pool of treasury shares. There were no shares withheld to satisfy tax withholding obligations in the June Transition Period.

The Company has 1,582,261 treasury shares as of December 31, 2009 and intends to utilize these treasury shares solely in connection with equity awards under the Company’s stock incentive plans.

Outlook

As we enter the second half of our 2010 fiscal year, we remain cautious as we continue to experience strong competition, with project awards coming at a pace slower than we expected. Increased competition, coupled with a tough economic environment will cause pressure on our margins to continue over the near term. However, consolidated backlog stabilized in the second quarter and we are optimistic that the remainder of fiscal 2010 will show continued improvement assuming the economic environment does not deteriorate.
