Basis of Presentation
Unless the context otherwise requires:
| References herein to Jacobs are to Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. and its predecessors; |
| References herein to the Company, we, us or our are to Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries; and |
| References herein to the Group are to the combined economic interests and activities of the Company and the persons and entities holding noncontrolling interests in our 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 October 2, 2009 (2009 Form 10-K) as well as Item 7Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations also included in our 2009 Form 10-K. Readers should also read our report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended January 1, 2010.
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 April 2, 2010 and for the three and six month periods ended April 2, 2010 and April 3, 2009.
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 April 2, 2010 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) revised the accounting and reporting for business combinations. These revisions require, among other things, that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the costs of acquired businesses; that 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; and, that an acquirer recognize assets or liabilities from contingencies as of the acquisition date. The requirement to measure the noncontrolling interests 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. These revisions were effective for the Company October 3, 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB revised the accounting and reporting for noncontrolling (formerly known as minority) interests in consolidated financial statements. These revisions clarified 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. The revisions also established that net income attributable to both the parent and the noncontrolling interests be reported in the consolidated statement of earnings, and eliminated the requirement of purchase accounting for a parents acquisition of a noncontrolling ownership interest. These revisions were effective for the Company October 3, 2009.

(continued)
Depending on the size and nature of an acquisition, the changes described above could have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
In June 2009, the FASB revised the accounting for variable interest entities (VIEs). These revisions require the Company to perform an analysis to determine whether its variable interests in VIEs give the Company a controlling financial interest in such entities. The Company is also required to assess whether it has the power to direct the activities of its VIEs and if it has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. The revisions adopted by the FASB eliminate the quantitative approach previously required for determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE and significantly enhances disclosures. The new accounting requirements are effective for the Company October 2, 2010. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its consolidated financial statements.
Business Combination
On February 16, 2010, the Company acquired Jordan, Jones and Goulding, Inc. (JJG), a 500-person professional services firm headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. Founded in 1958, JJG provides engineering, planning, and consulting services for water, wastewater, environmental and other clients. The results of operations of JJG for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 were not material. The purchase price allocation has not been completed. Included in the Companys Consolidated Balance Sheet at April 2, 2010 is goodwill of approximately $37.3 million associated with the acquisition of JJG.

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.
Claims receivable represent 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. The claim relating to the waste incineration project is discussed more fully in Note 11 Contractual Guarantees, Litigation, Investigations, and Insurance of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page F-25 of our 2009 Form 10-K. Due to the timing of when this claim may be settled, the receivable is included in Other Noncurrent Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The claim relates to a dispute involving proper waste feed, content of residues, final acceptance of the plant, and costs of operation and maintenance of the plant. The other claims receivable are included in Receivables in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revenue Accounting for Contracts / Accounting for Joint Ventures
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. With respect to such claims, 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 or target costs, and/or meeting other performance criteria as defined in the contracts. 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.

(continued)
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. For certain of these joint ventures (i.e., where we have an undivided 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 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 (U.S. GAAP), 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.
We have analyzed our joint ventures and have classified them into two groups: (i) those 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 U.S. GAAP, we apply the consolidation method of accounting for our investment in material VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary.
The following table presents certain financial information as of April 2, 2010 about those VIEs (i) for which we are the primary beneficiary, and (ii) for which we are not the primary beneficiary (in thousands):

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. 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.

Results of Operations
In order to better understand the Companys results of operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 (i.e., the current fiscal quarter) and the recent trends in our business, we present the following tables which compare our operating results for the current fiscal quarter to the first quarter of fiscal 2010 (i.e., the immediately preceding fiscal quarter) and the second quarter of fiscal 2009 (dollars in thousands, except per share information):

Net earnings for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 ended April 2, 2010 totaled $77.5 million compared to $109.3 million for the second quarter of fiscal 2009 ended April 3, 2009. Net earnings for the six months ended April 2, 2010 totaled $149.9 million compared to $225.6 million for the comparable period last year. In general, year-over-year (fiscal 2010 as compared to fiscal 2009) comparisons of net earnings, as well as most other elements of our results of operations, will continue to show the effects on our business of the global recession which began in 2007. Because our business tends to lag the general economy, our results of operations usually do not reflect the full effects of a recession, nor any recovery, until several or more fiscal quarters later.
Comparing the Companys operating results for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 to the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, we experienced a 7.5% and 7.0% improvement in both operating profit and net earnings, respectively. The improvement in the Companys results of operations during the current fiscal quarter as compared to the immediately preceding fiscal quarter was due primarily to an increase in project services revenues combined with continuing control over our selling, general, and administrative expenses.
During fiscal 2009 and continuing into fiscal 2010, we took certain actions which, we believe, will help to mitigate the effects of the recession. In particular, in the first quarter of fiscal 2010 the Company ceased using one of its offices located in Houston, Texas, and entered into a sublease for the entire property. Accordingly, included in net earnings for the six months ended April 2, 2010 is an after-tax charge of $5.8 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, relating to this real estate transaction. Partially offsetting the benefits of this restructuring charge during the second quarter of fiscal 2010 were the additional selling, general, and administrative expenses relating to our recent acquisitions as well as the amortization expense associated with those intangible assets acquired in connection with such acquisitions.
15
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
We believe we are well positioned to weather the current recessionary business environment, but we can provide no assurance that we will be able to do so. The Company maintains its competitive cost posture by driving down costs and maintaining long-term relationships with core clients such as the U.S. federal and other national governments, and large, multinational companies. We also continued to monitor new project opportunities arising from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (although the timing, size, and scope of any such new work cannot be presently predicted).
We continue to look for strategic acquisitions that expand our markets and geographic reach. Geographies where the Company sees opportunities include the Middle East, India, and China. Markets where the Company sees opportunities include aerospace and defense; water and wastewater; upstream oil and gas; power; and minerals. Our cash position allows us to execute our acquisition strategy.
Total revenues for the second quarter of fiscal 2010 decreased by $388.5 million, or 13.1%, to $2.6 billion compared to $3.0 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Total revenues for the six months ended April 2, 2010 decreased by $1.1 billion, or 18.4%, to $5.1 billion compared to $6.2 billion for the corresponding period last year.

Amounts related to the Companys buildings work for the U.S. Federal Government have been reclassified from the National Government Programs market into the Buildings market. Prior period information has been reclassified to conform to this new presentation.
As shown above, revenues for both the three and six months ended April 2, 2010 from projects for clients operating in many of the markets and industry groups we serve were generally lower as compared to the corresponding periods last year, with revenues from clients operating in the energy and refining (downstream) and oil and gas (upstream) markets posting the largest declines.
We believe these declines in revenues are attributable to the continuing effects of the current recession combined with the routine completion and normal winding-down of projects. Offsetting these declines in part are increased revenues from projects for our national government clients.
Direct costs of contracts for the three months ended April 2, 2010 decreased $348.0 million, or 13.5%, to $2.2 billion as compared to $2.6 billion for the corresponding period
16
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
last year. Direct costs of contracts for the six months ended April 2, 2010 decreased $1.0 billion, or 18.9%, to $4.4 billion as compared to $5.4 billion for 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 items 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 six months ended April 2, 2010, pass-through costs decreased $439.2 million and $910.1 million, 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 six months ended April 2, 2010 was 86.0% and 85.9%, respectively. This compares to 86.4% and 86.5%, respectively, for the three and six months ended April 3, 2009. 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 decrease in the direct cost of contracts percentage for the three and six months ended April 2, 2010 as compared to the corresponding periods last year were due primarily to a combination of lower construction services revenue relative to project services, combined with better project performance.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the three months ended April 2, 2010 increased $8.2 million, or 3.5%, to $241.2 million compared to $232.9 million for the three months ended April 3, 2009. For the six months ended April 2, 2010, SG&A expenses decreased by $12.4 million, or 2.5%, to $476.9 million compared to $489.3 million for the six months ended April 3, 2009.
Included in SG&A expenses in the current fiscal year are the SG&A expenses of our recent acquisitions as well as the amortization expense associated with the acquired intangible assets. In addition, and in response to the current business environment, the Company ceased using one of its offices located in Houston, Texas, and entered into a sublease for the entire property. Included in SG&A expenses for the six months ended April 2, 2010 was a charge of $11.4 million relating to the Houston property.
Interest income for the three and six months ended April 2, 2010 decreased $1.8 million and $5.6 million, respectively as compared to the corresponding periods last year. The
17
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
decrease in interest income was due primarily to lower rates of interest earned during the current fiscal quarter as compared to last year.
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.
The following table summarizes our backlog at April 2, 2010 and April 3, 2009 (in millions):
2010 | 2009 | |||||
Technical professional services |

Our backlog decreased $2.0 billion, or 11.9%, to $14.7 billion at April 2, 2010 from $16.6 billion at April 3, 2009. Backlog at April 2, 2010 includes new awards from our public sector clients.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At April 2, 2010, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of $839.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, and $256.5 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.
In addition to our $290.0 million revolving credit facility, we have also entered into a short-term credit facility with a bank in the U.S. We entered into the facility in connection with our acquisition of a one-third interest in AWE Management Ltd. (AWE). Approximately $95.2 million was outstanding under this facility at April 2, 2010.
18
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
During the first six months of fiscal 2010, our cash and cash equivalents decreased by $194.6 million to $839.1 million at April 2, 2010. This compares to a net increase in cash and cash equivalents of $168.2 million, to $772.7 million, during the corresponding period last year. During the six months ended April 2, 2010, we used $406.1 million of cash and cash equivalents for investing activities. This cash outflow was offset in part by net cash inflows of $117.2 million from operating activities, $92.8 million from financing activities, and $1.6 million from the effects of exchange rates.
Our operations provided net cash of $117.2 million during the six months ended April 2, 2010. This compares to net cash inflows of $201.1 million for the corresponding period last year. The $84.0 million decrease in cash provided by operations for the six months ended April 2, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period last year was due primarily to the following factors:
| a $75.7 million decrease in net earnings; and, |
| a $22.8 million decrease relating to changes in our working capital accounts (discussed below). |
These decreases in cash flows from operations were offset in part by the following:
| a $7.3 million change relating to the amortization of intangibles; and, |
| a $5.0 million change relating to deferred income taxes. |
With respect to the $22.8 million decrease in cash flows relating to changes in our working capital accounts, there was no unusual activity occurring in these accounts during the six months ended April 2, 2010.
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 $22.8 million decrease 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 $406.1 million of cash and cash equivalents for investing activities during the six months ended April 2, 2010 as compared to $17.1 million during the corresponding period last year. The $388.9 million increase in cash used for investing activities for the six months ended April 2, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period last year was due primarily to acquisitions of businesses and changes in investments.
19
JACOBS ENGINEERING GROUP INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
During the six months ended April 2, 2010 we acquired JJG, TYBRIN and completed our acquisition of AWE.
Our financing activities resulted in net cash inflows of $92.8 million during the six months ended April 2, 2010. This compares to net cash outflows of $0.3 million during the corresponding period last year. The $93.1 million net increase in cash flows from financing activities during the six months ended April 2, 2010 as compared to the corresponding period last year was due primarily to a $79.0 million increase in short-term borrowings.
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 $839.1 million in cash and cash equivalents at April 2, 2010, compared to $1.0 billion at October 2, 2009. Our consolidated working capital position at April 2, 2010 was $1.4 billion, a decrease of $164.9 million from October 2, 2009. We have a long-term, unsecured, revolving credit facility providing up to $290.0 million of debt capacity, under which approximately $33.5 million was utilized at April 2, 2010 in the form of direct borrowings and letters of credit. 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.

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 2009 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 April 2, 2010 was $0.6 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. To achieve these objectives, we continuously monitor changes in interest rates, and use cash provided from operations to re-pay our borrowings as quickly as possible. Furthermore, the Company can use a combination of both fixed rate and variable rate debt to manage our exposure to interest rate risk.
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. 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. |
The Companys management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), as of April 2, 2010, the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (the Evaluation Date). Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the Evaluation Date.
There were no changes in the Companys internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 2, 2010 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

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 Accounting Standards Codification 450Contingencies and Accounting Standards Codification 740Income Taxes, 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 more than ten 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 $54.1 million at April 2, 2010) 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. 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. We understand that the contractor has settled all of the plaintiffs claims against it. The contractors suit against the Company is in the process of being dismissed without any compensation being paid by the Company. The Companys motions to dismiss the remaining claims against it by the consultant and MnDOT based on the State Statute of Repose were denied. The Company has filed an appeal. The Company does not expect this matter to have any material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.
