NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED
June 30, 2009
Basis of Presentation
Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein to Jacobs are to Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. and its predecessors, and references herein to the Company, we, us or our are to Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and financial information included herein have been prepared pursuant to the interim period reporting requirements of Form 10-Q. Consequently, certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted. Readers of this report should also read our consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008 (2008 Form 10-K) as well as Item 7Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also included in our 2008 Form 10-K. Readers should also read our reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended December 31, 2008 and March 31, 2009.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2009 and for the three and nine month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of filing this Form 10-Q with the SEC. No material subsequent events have occurred since June 30, 2009 that required recognition or disclosure in these financial statements.
Our interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year.
New Accounting Standards
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141R Business Combinations (SFAS 141R). SFAS 141R significantly changes the accounting and reporting for business combinations. Among other changes, SFAS 141R requires acquisition related costs to be recognized separately from the acquisition; in a business combination achieved in stages, an acquiree to recognize the identifiable assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the full amounts of their fair values as of the acquisition date; an acquirer to recognize assets or liabilities from contingencies as of the acquisition date. The requirement to measure the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value will result in recognizing the goodwill attributable to the noncontrolling interest in addition to that attributable to the acquirer. SFAS 141R is effective for the Company October 1, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 160 significantly changes the accounting and reporting of noncontrolling (formerly known as minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. Among other changes, SFAS 160 clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements; establishes that net income attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interest will be reported in the consolidated statement of earnings; and eliminates the requirement of purchase accounting for a parents acquisition of a noncontrolling ownership interest. SFAS 160 is effective for the Company October 1, 2009.

(continued)
Depending on the size and nature of an acquisition, the adoption of SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 could have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 167 Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 amends FIN 46(R) and requires the Company to perform an analysis to determine whether its variable interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. This analysis requires the Company to assess whether it has the power to direct the activities of the variable interest entity and if it has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. SFAS 167 eliminates the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity and significantly enhances disclosures.
The Company is still evaluating what, if any, impact the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

Receivables
Included in Receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 were $770.6 million and $964.8 million, respectively, of unbilled receivables. Unbilled receivables represent reimbursable costs and amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts in progress as of the respective balance sheet dates. Such amounts become billable according to the contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones or completion of the project. Included in these unbilled receivables at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 were contract retentions totaling $23.6 million and $35.0 million, respectively. Also included in receivables at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008 were allowances for doubtful accounts of $9.6 million and $10.1 million, respectively.
In accordance with industry practice, we include in receivables claims representing the recovery of costs incurred on contracts to the extent it is probable that such claims will result in additional contract revenue and the amount of such additional revenue can be reliably estimated. Such amounts totaled $51.4 million and $56.6 million at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively, of which $36.8 million and $38.1 million, respectively, relate to one claim on a waste incineration project performed in Europe. This matter is more fully described in Note 11 Contractual Guarantees, Litigation, Investigations, and Insurance of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements on page F-24 of our 2008 Form 10-K. Due to the timing of when the claim may be settled, the receivable is included in Other Noncurrent Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The dispute involves proper waste feed, content of residues, final acceptance of the plant, and costs of operation and maintenance of the plant. We have initiated litigation against the client and are seeking damages in excess of 40.0 million (approximately $56.5 million at June 30, 2009), there can be no certainty as to the ultimate outcome of our claim. The client has filed a counterclaim against us, which we believe is without merit.
Amounts due from the United States federal government, net of advanced billings, totaled $273.2 million and $274.1 million at June 30, 2009 and September 30, 2008, respectively.

Revenue Accounting for Contracts / Accounting for Joint Ventures
In accounting for long-term engineering and construction-type contracts, we follow the provisions of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 81-1 Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts (SOP 81-1). In general, we recognize revenues at the time we provide services. Depending on the commercial terms of the contract, we recognize revenues either when costs are incurred, or using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting by relating contract costs incurred to date to the total estimated costs at completion. Contract losses are provided for in their entirety in the period they become known, without regard to the percentage-of-completion.
The nature of our business sometimes results in clients, subcontractors or vendors presenting claims to us for recovery of costs they incurred in excess of what they expected to incur, or for which they believe they are not contractually responsible. In those situations where a claim against us may result in additional costs to the contract, we include in the total estimated costs of the contract (and therefore, the estimated amount of margin to be earned under the contract) an estimate, based on all relevant facts and circumstances available, of the additional costs to be incurred. Similarly, and in the normal course of business, we may present claims to our clients for costs we have incurred for which we believe we are not contractually responsible. In those situations where we have presented such claims to our clients, we include in revenues the amount of costs incurred, without profit, to the extent it is probable that the claims will result in additional contract revenue, and the amount of such additional revenue can be reliably estimated. Costs associated with unapproved change orders are included in revenues using substantially the same criteria used for claims.
Certain cost-reimbursable contracts include incentive-fee arrangements. The incentive fees in such contracts can be based on a variety of factors but the most common are the achievement of target completion dates, target costs, and/or other performance criteria. Failure to meet these targets can result in unrealized incentive fees. We recognize incentive fees based on expected results using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. As the contract progresses and more information becomes available, the estimate of the anticipated incentive fee that will be earned is revised as necessary. We bill incentive fees based on the terms and conditions of the individual contracts. In certain situations we are allowed to bill a portion of the incentive fees over the performance period of the contract. In other situations, we are allowed to bill incentive fees only after the target criterion has been achieved. Incentive fees which have been recognized but not billed are included in receivables in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Certain cost-reimbursable contracts with government customers as well as certain commercial clients provide that contract costs are subject to audit and adjustment. In this situation, revenues are recorded at the time services are performed based upon the amounts we expect to realize upon completion of the contracts. Revenues are not recognized for non-recoverable costs. In those situations where an audit indicates that we may have billed a client for costs not allowable under the terms of the contract, we estimate the amount of such nonbillable costs and adjust our revenues accordingly.
As is common to the industry, we execute certain contracts jointly with third parties through various forms of joint ventures and consortiums. In general, such contracts fall within the scope of SOP 81-1. We therefore account for these investments in accordance with SOP 81-1 and Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-01 Investor Balance Sheet and Income Statement Display Under the Equity Method for Investments in Certain Partnerships and Other Ventures. Accordingly, for certain of these joint ventures (i.e., where we have an undivided
10
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS UNAUDITED
June 30, 2009
(continued)
interest in the assets and liabilities of the joint venture), we recognize our proportionate share of joint venture revenues, costs, and operating profit in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings. For other investments in engineering and construction joint ventures, we use the equity method of accounting.
Very few of our joint ventures have employees. Although the joint ventures own and hold the contracts with the clients, the services required by the contracts are typically performed by us and our joint venture partners, or by other subcontractors under subcontracting agreements with the joint ventures. The assets of our joint ventures, therefore, consist almost entirely of cash and receivables (representing amounts due from the clients), and the liabilities of our joint ventures consist almost entirely of amounts due to the joint venture partners (for services provided by the partners to the joint ventures under their individual subcontracts) and other subcontractors. In general, at any given time, the equity of our joint ventures represents the undistributed profits earned on contracts the joint ventures hold with clients. None of our joint ventures have third-party debt or credit facilities. Our joint ventures, therefore, are simply mechanisms used to deliver engineering and construction services to clients. Rarely do they, in and of themselves, present any risk of loss to us or to our partners separate from those that we would carry if we were performing the contract on our own. Under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, our share of losses associated with the contracts held by the joint ventures, if and when they occur, has always been reflected in our consolidated financial statements.
In accordance with the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 46RConsolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46R), we have analyzed our joint ventures and have classified them into two groups: (i) those variable interest entities (VIEs) of which we are the primary beneficiary of the VIEs expected residual returns or losses; and (ii) those VIEs of which we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs expected residual returns or losses. In accordance with FIN 46R, we apply the consolidation method of accounting for our investment in material VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary.
At June 30, 2009, the total assets and liabilities of those VIEs for which we are the primary beneficiary were $63.1 million and $52.5 million, respectively. At June 30, 2009, the total assets and liabilities of those VIEs for which we are not the primary beneficiary were $403.1 million and $355.4 million, respectively.
When we are directly responsible for subcontractor labor or third-party materials and equipment, we reflect the costs of such items in both revenues and costs. The amount of such pass-through costs included in revenues during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $883.9 million and $3.2 billion, respectively. This compares to pass-through costs of $777.7 million and $2.2 billion for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. On those projects where the client elects to pay for such items directly and we have no associated responsibility for such items, these amounts are not reflected in either revenues or costs.

The change in pension liability included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 relates primarily to the effects of exchange rate changes.

Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. |
General
The purpose of this Managements Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) is to provide a narrative analysis explaining the reasons for material changes in the Companys (i) financial condition since the most recent fiscal year-end, and (ii) results of operations during the current fiscal quarter as compared to the corresponding periods of the preceding fiscal year. In order to better understand such changes, readers of this MD&A should also read:

Results of Operations
The global recession continued to dampen our operating results for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 ended June 30, 2009, as the effects of project delays and past project cancellations contributed to a $14.4 million, or a 13.2%, decline in net earnings as compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2009 ended March 31, 2009. Although our backlog at June 30, 2009 totaled more than $15 billion and we generated more than $280 million of cash during the third quarter of fiscal 2009, we believe that the effects of the current economic downturn and resultant project delays may continue for the next few fiscal quarters.
While we can provide no assurance, we believe we are well-positioned to weather the current business environment. The Company has always maintained a very competitive cost posture as compared to our competition, as well as strong, long-term relationships with core clients such as the U.S. federal and other national governments, and large, multinational
14
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
corporations. We are also positioning ourselves to take advantage of whatever additional projects may become available as a result of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (although the timing, size, and scope of any such new work cannot be presently predicted).
Net earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 ended June 30, 2009 totaled $94.9 million compared to $108.7 million for the third quarter of fiscal 2008 ended June 30, 2008. Diluted earnings per share for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 totaled $0.76 compared to $0.87 for corresponding period last year.
Net earnings for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $320.5 million compared to $306.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 ended June 30, 2008. Diluted earnings per share for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 totaled $2.58 compared to $2.46 for corresponding period last year. Included in net earnings for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 was a one time-gain of $5.4 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, from the sale of the Companys interest in a company that provides specialized operations and maintenance services.
Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2009 totaled $2.7 billion, and represent a decrease of $212.2 million, or 7.3%, as compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2008. For the nine months ended June 30, 2009, revenues totaled $8.9 billion, and represent an increase of $859.3 million, or 10.7%, as compared to the corresponding period last year.
As shown in tables below, revenues during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 for most of the types of services we provide were lower as compared to the prior year, as were revenues from most of the industry groups and markets we serve. We dont believe that this decline in revenues is indicative of any particular trend with respect to either service type or industry group, but rather was due primarily to the routine completion and normal winding-down of projects combined with the continuing effects of delays in new projects being awarded and released to us as discussed above.
The following table sets forth our revenues by the various types of services we provide for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands):

Direct costs of contracts for the three months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $132.4 million, or 5.4%, to $2.3 billion as compared to the corresponding period last year. For the nine months ended June 30, 2009, direct costs of contracts increased $920.6 million, or 13.6%, to $7.7 billion as compared to the corresponding period last year. The level of direct costs of contracts may fluctuate between reporting periods due to a variety of factors including the amount of pass-through costs we incur during a period. On those projects where we are responsible for subcontract labor or third-party materials and equipment, we reflect the amounts of such items in both revenues and costs (and we refer to such costs as pass-through costs). On other projects, where the client elects to pay for such items directly and we have no associated responsibility for such items, these amounts are not considered pass-through costs and are, therefore, not reflected in either revenues or costs. To the extent that we incur a significant amount of pass-through costs in a period, our direct cost of contracts are likely to increase as well.
For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009, pass-through costs increased $106.2 million and $1.1 billion, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods last year. In general, pass-through costs are more significant on projects that have a higher content of field services activities. Pass-through costs are generally incurred at a specific point in the lifecycle of a project and are highly dependent on the needs of our individual clients and the nature of the clients projects. However, because we have hundreds of projects which start at various times within a fiscal year, the effect of pass-through costs on the level of direct costs of contracts can vary between fiscal years without there being a fundamental or significant change to the underlying business.
As a percentage of revenues, direct costs of contracts for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 was 86.3% and 86.4%, respectively. This compares to 84.5% and 84.2%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2008. The relationship between direct costs of contracts and revenues will fluctuate between reporting periods depending on a variety of factors including the mix of business during the reporting periods being compared as well as the level of margins earned from the various types of services provided. Generally speaking, the more procurement we do on behalf of our clients (i.e., where we purchase equipment and materials for use on projects, and/or procure subcontracts in connection with projects) and the more field services revenues we have relative to technical, professional services revenues, the higher the direct cost of contracts percentage will be. Because revenues from pass-through costs typically have lower margin rates associated with them, it is not unusual for us to experience an increase or decrease in such revenues without experiencing a corresponding increase or decrease in our gross margins and operating profit. The increase in
16
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
the direct cost of contracts percentage for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the corresponding period last year was due primarily to higher construction services revenue, relative to project services, combined with the higher levels of pass-through costs discussed above. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 the Company experienced reduced gross margins from our professional services activities when compared to the corresponding periods last year.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 decreased $57.6 million, or 20.%, and $95.5 million, or 11.8%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods last year. These decreases were due primarily to the Companys efforts to control SG&A expenses in light of the softening business environment. In addition, our SG&A expenses typically fluctuate as a result of changes in head count and the spending required to support our technical professional services revenues, which typically require additional overhead costs. Therefore, when our technical professional services revenues increase or decrease, we typically see a corresponding change in SG&A expenses. Also contributing to the decrease in SG&A expenses for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2009 were the effects of a strengthening U.S. dollar against those foreign currencies in which the Company has operations.
Miscellaneous expense, net for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 was $4.8 million compared to miscellaneous income, net of $6.0 million for the corresponding period last year. Included in miscellaneous income for the nine months ended June 30, 2008 was a $10.6 million gain from the sale, in the first quarter of fiscal 2008, of the Companys interest in a company that provides specialized operations and maintenance services.
Backlog Information
We include in backlog the total dollar amount of revenues we expect to record in the future as a result of performing work under contracts that have been awarded to us. Because of the nature, size, expected duration, funding commitments, and the scope of services required by our contracts, the timing of when backlog will be recognized as revenues can vary greatly between individual contracts. Our policy with respect to O&M contracts, however, is to include in backlog the amount of revenues we expect to receive for one succeeding year, regardless of the remaining life of the contract. For national government programs (other than national government O&M contracts), our policy is to include in backlog the full contract award, whether funded or unfunded, and exclude option periods.
In accordance with industry practice, substantially all of our contracts are subject to cancellation or termination at the option of the client. In a situation where a client terminates a contract, we typically are entitled to receive payment for work performed up to the date of termination and, in certain instances, we may be entitled to allowable termination and cancellation costs. While management uses all information available to it to determine backlog, our backlog at any given time is subject to changes in the scope of services to be provided as well as increases or decreases in costs relating to the contracts included therein.
Because certain contracts (for example, contracts relating to large engineering, procurement, and construction projects as well as national government programs) can cause large increases to backlog in the fiscal period in which we recognize the award, and because many of our contracts require us to provide services that span over a number of fiscal quarters (and sometimes over fiscal years), we evaluate our backlog on a year-over-year basis, rather than on a sequential, quarter-over-quarter basis.

Our backlog decreased $2.5 billion, or 13.6%, to $15.8 billion at June 30, 2009 from $18.3 billion at June 30, 2008. However, backlog at June 30, 2008 included $2.4 billion relating to an upstream oil and gas project, of which $2.3 billion was in field services substantially in the form of pass-thru revenues, that was cancelled during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. In addition, during the third quarter of fiscal 2009 ended June 30, 2009, approximately $665 million was removed from backlog as a result of project cancellations ($300 million) and a shift of pass-through costs to the owners responsibility ($365 million). Backlog at June 30, 2009 includes new awards from clients operating in many of the industry groups and markets we serve, and in particular national government programs and oil & gas-upstream.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2009, our principal source of liquidity consisted of $1.1 billion of cash and cash equivalents, and $276.7 million of available borrowing capacity under our $290.0 million, long-term, unsecured revolving credit facility. We finance as much of our operations and growth as possible through cash generated by our operations.
During the first nine months of fiscal 2009, our cash and cash equivalents increased by $455.0 million to $1.1 billion at June 30, 2009. This compares to a net decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $77.1 million, to $536.2 million, during the corresponding period last year. During the nine months ended June 30, 2009, we experienced net cash inflows of $481.2 million from operating activities, $27.2 million from financing activities and $1.0 million from the effects of exchange rate changes. These inflows were offset in part by net cash outflows of $54.3 million from investing activities.
Our operations provided net cash of $481.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2009. This compares to net cash inflows of $173.4 million for the corresponding period last year. The $307.7 million increase in cash provided by operations for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the corresponding period last year was due primarily to the following factors:
| a $242.8 million increase relating to changes in our working capital accounts (discussed below); |
| a $45.6 million increase relating to higher stock based compensation (including the related excess tax benefits); |
| a $14.2 million increase in net earnings; |
| a $3.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization of property, equipment and improvements; and, |
| a $9.4 million change relating to sales of investments and other assets (the cash flows from which are reclassified to the investing section within our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows). |
18
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
These increases in cash flows from operations were offset in part by the following:
| a $6.9 million change in deferred income taxes; and, |
| a $0.6 million decrease in the amortization of intangible assets. |
With respect to the $242.8 million increase in cash flows relating to changes in our working capital accounts, there was no unusual activity occurring in these accounts during the nine months ended June 30, 2009.
Because such a high percentage of our revenues are earned on cost-plus type contracts, and due to the significance of revenues relating to pass-through costs, most of the costs we incur are included in invoices we send to clients. Although we continually monitor our accounts receivable, we manage the operating cash flows of the Company by managing the working capital accounts in total, rather than by the individual elements. The primary elements of the Companys working capital accounts are accounts receivable, accounts payable, and billings in excess of cost. Accounts payable consists of obligations to third parties relating primarily to costs incurred for projects which are generally billable to clients. Accounts receivable consist of billings to our clients a substantial portion of which is for project-related costs. Billings in excess of cost consist of billings to and payments from our clients for costs yet to be incurred.
This relationship between revenues and costs, and between receivables and payables is unique for our industry, and facilitates review at the total working capital level. The $242.8 million increase in cash flows relating to changes in our working capital accounts was due simply to the timing of cash receipts and payments within our working capital accounts and is not indicative of any known trend or fundamental change to the underlying business.
We used $54.3 million of cash and cash equivalents for investing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 compared to $320.6 million during the corresponding period last year. The $266.2 million decrease in cash used for investing activities for the nine months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the corresponding period last year was due primarily to a $235.3 million decrease in cash used for acquisitions of businesses (net of cash acquired), a $36.8 million change in other noncurrent assets, and a $41.7 million decrease in cash used to purchase property and equipment (net of disposals). These activities were offset in part by a $47.6 million change in investments, net (included in this change is $14.1 million of cash received in connection with the sale of our interest in a company that provides specialized operations and maintenance services during the first quarter of the previous fiscal year).
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we purchased a one-third share in AWE Management Limited (AWE) from British Nuclear Group Limited. AWE, a company founded in 2000, is a joint venture between Jacobs, Lockheed Martin UK Holdings Ltd and Serco Holdings Limited to manage the Atomic Weapons Establishment on behalf of the U.K. Ministry of Defence. An additional payment will be made to the seller pending resolution of various contingencies. This additional amount is not presently estimatable.
Our financing activities resulted in net cash inflows of $27.2 million during the nine months ended June 30, 2009. This compares to net cash inflows of $61.6 million during the corresponding period last year. The $34.4 million net decrease in cash flows from financing activities during the nine months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the corresponding period last year was due primarily to a $44.6 million decrease in cash flows attributable to issuances of common stock (including the related excess tax benefits), and a $32.0 million change in cash flows relating to our long-term borrowing activities. These decreases in cash flows were offset in part by a $37.8 million net increase in cash flows relating to our short-term borrowing activities and a $4.4 million change relating to our other, long-term deferred liabilities.
We believe we have adequate liquidity and capital resources to fund our operations, support our acquisition strategy, and service our debt for the next twelve months. We had
19
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
$1.1 billion in cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2009, compared to $604.4 million at September 30, 2008. Our consolidated working capital position at June 30, 2009 was $1.5 billion, an increase of $293.5 million from September 30, 2008. We have a long-term, unsecured, revolving credit facility providing up to $290.0 million of debt capacity, under which $13.3 million was utilized at June 30, 2009 in the form of direct borrowings. While our access to capital has not been severely affected by the credit crisis currently impacting global markets, we believe the full effect of the crisis may increase our borrowing costs in the future. We believe that the capacity, terms and conditions of our long-term revolving credit facility, combined with other committed and uncommitted facilities we have in place, are adequate for our working capital and general business requirements.
20
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. |
We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading, speculation or other purposes that would expose us to market risk. As more fully discussed below and in Item 1ARisk Factors of our 2008 Form 10-K (beginning on page 18 thereto), our results of operations are exposed to risks associated with fluctuations in interest rates and currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Our only committed source for long-term credit is a $290.0 million, long-term, unsecured revolving credit facility. The total amount outstanding under this facility at June 30, 2009 was $13.3 million. This agreement expires in May 2012, and provides for both fixed-rate and variable-rate borrowings. Our objectives in managing our interest rate risk are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows, and to lower our overall borrowing costs.
In connection with the lease of one of our offices in Houston, Texas, we entered into a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap agreement with a large U.S. bank which fixes the amount of our lease payments. At June 30, 2009 the notional amount of this hedge was $52.2 million. This instrument allows us to receive a floating rate payment tied to the 1-month LIBOR from the counterparty in exchange for a fixed-rate payment from us. We have determined that this contract qualifies as an effective hedge under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133).
Foreign Currency Risk
In situations where our operations incur contract costs in currencies other than their functional currency, we attempt to have a portion of the related contract revenues denominated in the same currencies as the costs. In those situations where revenues and costs are transacted in different currencies, we sometimes enter into foreign exchange contracts in order to limit our exposure to fluctuating foreign currencies. We follow the provisions of SFAS 133 in accounting for our derivative contracts. The Company does not currently have exchange rate sensitive instruments that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or results of operations.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures. |
Under the supervision and with the participation of the Companys management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as required by Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2009.
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Item 1. | Legal Proceedings. |
In the normal course of business, we are subject to certain contractual guarantees and litigation. The guarantees to which we are a party generally relate to project schedules and plant performance. Most of the litigation involves us as a defendant in workers compensation; personal injury; environmental; employment/labor; professional liability; and other similar lawsuits.
We maintain insurance coverage for various aspects of our business and operations. We have elected, however, to retain a portion of losses that occur through the use of various deductibles, limits, and retentions under our insurance programs. This situation may subject us to some future liability for which we are only partially insured, or completely uninsured. We intend to mitigate any such future liability by continuing to exercise prudent business judgment in negotiating the terms and conditions of our contracts.
Additionally, as a contractor providing services to agencies of the United States federal government, we are subject to many levels of audits, investigations and claims by, or on behalf of, the U.S. federal government with respect to our contract performance, pricing, costs, cost allocations, and procurement practices. Furthermore, our income, franchise, and similar tax returns and filings are also subject to audit and investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, most states within the United States as well as by various government agencies representing jurisdictions outside the United States.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 5 Accounting for Contingencies and FASB Interpretation No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109, we record in our Consolidated Balance Sheets amounts representing our estimated liability relating to such claims, guarantees, litigation, and audits and investigations. We include any adjustments to such reserves in our consolidated results of operations.
Management believes, after consultation with counsel, that such guarantees, litigation, United States Government contract-related audits, investigations and claims, and income tax audits and investigations should not have any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In addition to the matters described above, we are involved in a dispute with a client relating to a large waste incineration project in Europe. The contract was entered into by one of our subsidiaries several years ago prior to our acquisition of that subsidiary. The dispute involves proper waste feed; content of residues; final acceptance of the plant; and costs of operation and maintenance of the plant. We have initiated litigation against the client and are seeking in excess of 40.0 million (approximately $56.5 million) in damages. The client has filed a counterclaim against us, which we believe is without merit. We believe our claims are valid and enforceable and that we will be ultimately successful in obtaining a favorable judgment.
On August 1, 2007 the I-35W bridge in Minneapolis, Minnesota suffered a tragic collapse. The bridge was designed and built in the early 1960s. Sverdrup & Parcel and Associates, Inc. (Sverdrup & Parcel) provided design services to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) on the bridge. Sverdrup & Parcel was a predecessor company to Sverdrup Corporation, a company acquired by Jacobs in 1999. Several lawsuits have been filed against a consultant who had been providing engineering analyses of the bridge prior to its collapse,

and against a contractor who was providing maintenance and construction work on the bridge at the time of its collapse. No lawsuits have been filed directly against the Company by any of the primary plaintiffs. The consultant and the contractor have filed suit against the Company claiming that the Company was liable for negligent design services by Sverdrup & Parcel, and against MnDOT claiming that MnDOT had an obligation to inspect, maintain and repair the Bridge and that it failed to do so. The Company has filed motions to dismiss all of the claims made against it by the consultant and the contractor. MnDOT has filed a suit against the Company claiming that it is entitled to be indemnified for any and all amounts that it pays out under its Victims Compensation Fund. The Company has filed a motion to dismiss MnDOTs claim. The Company does not expect this matter to have any material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.
