Re:  URS Corporation
Form 8-K/A Filed June 25, 2013
File No. 1-7567

Dear Mr. O’Brien:
 
We are providing to the staff of the SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) the responses of URS Corporation (the “Company” or “we”) to the comments in your letter dated July 3, 2013, relating to the Company’s Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on June 25, 2013.  For your convenience, we have reproduced your comments in italics below.
 
Form 8-K/A filed June 25, 2013
 
Exhibit 99.1
 
Note 18.  Condensed Consolidating Financial Information, page 72

 
1.
We note that you have revised your condensed consolidating financial statements presented in accordance with Article 3-10 of Regulation S-X for each period presented.  Please provide us with a more comprehensive explanation for the errors that each adjustment is correcting in the condensed consolidating financial statements for each period presented.

 
Response

Shown below is a more comprehensive explanation of each of the errors identified in the initial Form 8-K that were previously corrected in the Form 8-K/A:

A.  
Duplication of a journal entry relating to intercompany receivables and intercompany payables.  The duplication occurred when a manual journal entry was not removed after an automated system recorded the same journal entry.

B.  
i. Misclassification of intercompany activities that impacted various columns within the condensed consolidating financial information.  The intercompany adjustments were predominantly due to the mis-coding of intercompany partners in the intercompany receivable and payable accounts for the tax provision allocation between guarantors and non-guarantors.

 
1

 
 
ii. Misclassification of balances on intercompany notes between the amounts that represent short-term and long-term obligations.

C.  
The elimination of URS Fox LP’s (“Issuer Fox LP”) subsidiary was recorded in the “Eliminations” column.  However, since Issuer Fox LP’s subsidiary and Issuer Fox LP’s parent are both non-guarantors, the elimination of Issuer Fox LP’s subsidiary should have been recorded within the “Non-Guarantors” column.

D.  
In response to the Staff’s previous request, we have now presented intercompany interest income and intercompany interest expense as separate line items.  These amounts were previously combined or offset in the Interest income (expense) caption.  This caption also included intercompany royalties and general and administrative charges, which have now been separately presented within Operating Income instead of within Interest income (expense).

E.  
An adjustment was recorded to the FYE 2010 Condensed Consolidating Financial Information reversing intercompany interest between a guarantor entity and a non-guarantor entity that actually related to and should have been recorded in FYE 2009.

In addition to the errors identified in the Form 8-K/A described above, we have identified the following additional errors in the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows:

F.  
Inconsistent treatment of Issuer Fox LP intercompany note and long-term debt transactions.  In March 2012, URS Corporation – Delaware (the “Parent”) and Issuer Fox LP co-issued $1.0 billion of bonds.  All of the bond proceeds from the bond issuance were received by the Parent.  Consistent with the arrangement between the Parent and Issuer Fox LP, in May 2012, $200.0 million and $800.0 million of the bonds were included as liabilities of Parent and Issuer Fox LP, respectively.  Intercompany notes were established between the Parent, Issuer Fox LP, and various guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries representing a tiered intercompany liability structure for repayment of the proceeds borrowed to acquire Flint Energy Services, Ltd (“Flint”).  As a matter of convenience, the proceeds went directly from the Parent to the depository agent to consummate the acquisition, as such, cash did not physically flow through all of the legal entities in the acquisition structure.  However, we believe it is appropriate to present the intercompany activities on the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows as if cash had physically been transferred in order to best reflect the legal obligations of each subsidiary and the underlying economics of the transactions.  All intercompany activities were treated previously as though cash had physically been transferred, except in the Issuer Fox LP’s cash flows.  In addition, the $800.0 million of bond proceeds have now been treated as if cash proceeds were received by Issuer Fox LP, which is consistent with the recognition of bond liabilities described above.  We have revised the cash flows to consistently reflect these transactions.

In October 2012, approximately $100.4 million of cash was repaid on the intercompany loans created in the acquisition structure, resulting in a transfer of cash from Issuer Fox LP and the Parent.  As a result, $100.4 million of the bond liabilities were reallocated to the Parent, resulting in balances at December 28, 2012 of $299.4 million and $699.6 million, for the Parent and Issuer Fox LP, respectively.

G.  
Gross presentation of intercompany investing and financing cash flow activities related to the borrowings and repayments of intercompany notes. The borrowings and payments of intercompany notes were incorrectly netted.  We have revised the cash flows to reflect the gross presentation.

H.  
Changes in accrued interest on intercompany notes were incorrectly classified as net intercompany investing and net intercompany financing activities.  We have revised the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows to reflect the changes in accrued interest as operating cash flows.

I.  
Misclassification of an intercompany note payable and a related intercompany note receivable.
 
J.  
Misclassification of intercompany dividend payments as operating cash flow activities.
 
The necessary revisions to the previously filed Condensed Consolidating Financial Information have been disclosed in our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 28, 2013 and will be disclosed in an updated Form 8-K/A prior to the effectiveness of the Form S-4 Registration Statement.

The tables below show the adjustments in the various financial statement line items impacted by the items described above.  The adjustments are referenced with letters that correspond to the items above.

We have read your response to comment 7 in our letter dated May 14, 2013, and have also reviewed the revised condensed consolidating balance sheets you included in the Form 8-K/A No. 1 filed on June 25, 2013.  Please provide us with a more comprehensive discussion regarding the intercompany transactions that result in your guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries recognizing substantial intercompany accounts receivable for both dates presented.  Please also provide us with a discussion regarding the transactions that result in the Parent recognizing substantial intercompany accounts payable for both dates presented.  Your explanation should help us understand why the Parent has both intercompany accounts receivable and intercompany accounts payable recognized for both dates.  Please ensure your explanation includes quantified information to help us better understand the transactions described.  As part of your explanation, please confirm that intercompany transactions between guarantor subsidiaries have been eliminated in the presentation and that intercompany transactions between non-guarantor subsidiaries have been eliminated in the presentation.

Response
 
The response below applies to both December 28, 2012 and December 30, 2011:

Intercompany balances on our entities’ books have accumulated over many years of transactions.  Balances in our intercompany receivable and payable accounts increase/decrease on a regular basis depending on which entity is issuing charges and which entity is receiving charges.  We operate several hundred legal entities.  Each legal entity can have intercompany relationships with many different legal entities.  As a result of the nature, volume, build-up and settlements of the large number of intercompany transactions, it is not practicable to present quantified information.

Intercompany accounts receivable and payable transactions for the Parent include cash transfers to and from subsidiaries, allocations to subsidiaries for payments made on their behalf, including certain costs such as insurance, broker fees, letter of credit fees, employee payroll, and outside legal costs.  The Parent also charges subsidiaries for the costs of services it provides to the subsidiaries, such as information technology support, royalties and general and administrative oversight.

Intercompany transactions for Issuer Fox LP primarily include interest payments made by the Parent on behalf of Issuer Fox LP and intercompany interest charges from Issuer Fox LP to Non-Guarantors.

 
Other than transactions with the Parent listed above, intercompany transactions for guarantors and non-guarantors include revenue and cost charges between subsidiaries for shared projects where one subsidiary hires another subsidiary to assist with a particular project, charges for shared office space and charges for administrative services provided by one entity to another.

 
Other intercompany transactions include payments made relating to funding of small and medium-sized business acquisitions.

We utilize centralized treasury functions in the U.S. in which the Parent manages nearly all cash on behalf of its U.S. subsidiaries.  We also have centralized treasury functions in various international locations.  When stand-alone financial statements are prepared for entities that participate in centralized treasury functions, this arrangement results in an intercompany receivable and/or payable.

The balance in an intercompany receivable or payable fluctuates on a monthly basis as the above activities are recorded.  For example, the Parent may have an intercompany payable balance to a guarantor that is composed of cash sweeps from the guarantor, netted against charges from the Parent to the guarantor.  Similar transactions take place between and among the various legal entities.

At any period-end, the Parent will have intercompany balances with multiple subsidiary companies, some of which will be receivables and some of which will be payables.  While the intercompany balances with individual subsidiaries are recorded as a net receivable or payable, because there is no right of offset, the Parent recognizes both intercompany receivables and payables, reflecting the status of those balances with the various subsidiary companies.

We also confirm that intercompany transactions between guarantor subsidiaries have been eliminated in the presentation and that intercompany transactions between non-guarantor subsidiaries have been eliminated in the presentation.

We have read your response to comment 8 in our letter dated May 14, 2013.  It remains unclear how you determined that the parent’s intercompany notes receivable that relates to the intercompany notes payable recognized by the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries is within the scope of ASC 505-10-45-2, as you have represented that the purpose of the intercompany notes receivable and intercompany notes payable relates to acquisitions made by the subsidiaries.  As such, it remains unclear why you have classified this amount as equity rather than as an asset.  Please advise.  Please also tell us why the parent’s intercompany notes receivable is significantly less than the intercompany notes payable recognized by the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries.
 
 
Response
 
 
We have recorded intercompany notes receivable as a component of equity.  In accordance with ASC 505-10-45-2 Receivables for Issuance of Equity, “an entity may receive a note, rather than cash, as a contribution to its equity.  The transaction may be a sale of capital stock or a contribution to paid-in capital.  Reporting the note as an asset is generally not appropriate, except in very limited circumstances in which there is substantial evidence of ability and intent to pay within a reasonably short period of time.  Consequently, the predominant practice is to offset the notes and stock in the equity section.”

While we acknowledge that these intercompany notes receivable have not arisen from equity contributions, we believe that given the nature of the notes, anticipated repayments, the affiliate relationship that exists between the parties and the control inherent in these relationships, the presentation of these receivables as a component of equity is acceptable and appropriate.  In addition, we noted that several large filers have also classified intercompany notes receivable in the equity section of the balance sheet.
 
Not all intercompany notes are issued by the Parent to the subsidiaries.  There are intercompany notes issued by Issuer Fox LP, guarantors and non-guarantors.  As of December 28, 2012, the offset for the Parent’s intercompany notes receivable of $577.1 million is located in the intercompany notes payable line under the guarantor column.  Please note that $687.8 million of the intercompany notes receivable are included in the Issuer Fox LP column, with the offset located in the intercompany notes payable line under the non-guarantor column.  Please also note that there are intercompany notes receivable in the guarantor column of $583.8 million as of December 28, 2012, with the offsetting intercompany notes payable located in the non-guarantor column.
 
4.
We note that the parent is recognizing an intercompany royalty and general and administrative charges income line item within operating income, which substantially exceeds the general and administrative expenses the parent has incurred for each period presented.  Please tell us more about this line item and how you determined that it is appropriate for the parent to recognize this significant amount of income from the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries.  Please provide us with the specific reference in ASC 605 that supports your accounting.  Please also tell us what the debit entry is for the parent and what the credit entry is for the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries. As part of your response, please provide us with the contract between the parent and the subsidiaries that allows the parent to recognize the income.
 
 
Response
 
Intercompany royalty and general and administrative charges in our Condensed Consolidating Statements of Operations represent charges to subsidiaries for the use of certain Company trade names and service marks and for general and administrative services provided by the Parent to its subsidiaries.
 

 
23

 
 
The following two components are included under arrangements with the Company’s entities:
 
·  
Royalty fees under URS Trademark License Agreements
The Parent charges its licensee subsidiaries fees to use certain Company trade names and service marks and to access the URS network of operating affiliates.  Royalty fees are calculated as a percentage of a licensee’s revenues derived from parties other than URS or affiliates of URS, net of subcontracted costs (“Net Revenues”) and are not based on costs incurred by the Parent. The royalties charged to our subsidiaries are based on pricing analyses for comparable transactions between two or more unrelated parties dealing at arm’s length.

·  
General and administrative fees under URS Service Agreements
The Parent charges its subsidiaries a fee for providing, managing, servicing and administering a variety of services including the following:
·  
Strategic Executive/Management Services
·  
Employee Bonus Plan
·  
Legal Support
·  
Tax Consulting/Compliance
·  
Corporate Accounting
·  
Internal Audit & Accounting Support
·  
Treasury and Portfolio Management
·  
Insurance
·  
Employee Benefits
·  
External Legal Counsel
·  
Revolving Loans and Debt

Please see the attached exhibits for examples of the intercompany royalty fee and general and administrative service agreements between a parent and a subsidiary.

We identified the portion of the Parent’s general and administrative expenses that benefit domestic subsidiaries, foreign subsidiaries, or worldwide operations based on effort and services surveys.  These costs are allocated to each subsidiary based on its respective net revenues to total domestic or international net revenues.

Below is a breakdown of the royalty and general and administrative fees charged by the Parent for the periods presented in the Form 8-K/A:

   
Fiscal Years Ended
 
   
December 28, 2012
   
December 30, 2011
   
December 31, 2010
 
                   
Royalty fees
  $ 115.0     $ 109.9     $ 119.3  
General and administrative fees
    25.6       27.0       27.1  
Intercompany royalty and general and administrative charges
  $ 140.6     $ 136.9     $ 146.4  



 
24

 
 
These fees are charged to our subsidiaries on a quarterly basis.  The Parent recognizes intercompany revenues and the subsidiaries recognize intercompany expenses.  The following are entries we make to the Parent’s books and the subsidiaries’ books to record the transactions:

Parent
 
Debit
 
Credit
Intercompany receivable from subsidiaries
 
xxxxxx
   
Intercompany royalty revenues
     
xxxxxx
Intercompany general and administrative service revenues
     
xxxxxx
         
Subsidiaries
 
Debit
 
Credit
Intercompany payable to the Parent
     
xxxxxx
Intercompany royalty charges
 
xxxxxx
   
Intercompany general and administrative service charges
 
xxxxxx
   

It is appropriate for the Parent to recognize intercompany royalty and general and administrative charges as revenues because they meet the criteria outlined in ASC 605, Revenue Recognition and Concepts Statement 5, Recognition and Measurement in Financial Statements of Business Enterprises.

Concepts Statement 5, paragraph 83(b) states that “an entity’s revenue-earning activities involve delivering or producing goods, rendering services, or other activities that constitute its ongoing major or central operations, and revenues are considered to have been earned when the entity has substantially accomplished what it must do to be entitled to the benefits represented by the revenues.  Paragraph 84(a) states two conditions (being realized or realizable and being earned) are usually met by the time product or merchandise is delivered or services are rendered to customers.  In addition, paragraph 84(d) states that “If services are rendered or rights to use assets extend continuously over time, reliable measures, reliable measures based on contractual prices established in advance are commonly available and revenues may be recognized as earned as time passes.”

ASC 605 lists the following four criteria when revenue is generally realized or realizable and earned:

·  
Persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists;
·  
Delivery has occurred or services have been rendered;
·  
The seller’s price to the buyer is fixed or determinable; and
·  
Collectibility is reasonably assured.

The intercompany royalty charges represent rights to use certain Company trade name and service marks.  The intercompany general and administrative services represent services the Parent provides to its subsidiaries.  These charges are pursuant to intercompany arrangements, which meet the persuasive evidence criterion.  The intercompany revenues and expenses are recorded when services have been rendered and the intercompany royalty revenues and expenses are recorded as Net Revenues are recorded.  The charges are calculated based on the arrangements agreed upon between the parties and are determinable.  Collectibility is reasonably assured since the Parent regularly sweeps cash from domestic subsidiaries and actively collects payment for services rendered for international subsidiaries.

 
25

 
 

Due to the nature of these services and charges, we believe they are appropriately included as components of Operating Income.  We have clearly labeled the nature of these transactions on the face of the Statement of Operations, which we believe provides transparency to the readers of the Condensed Consolidating Financial Information.

We note that long-term intercompany notes payable were recognized for both the guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries as of December 28, 2012.  We further note that the non-guarantor subsidiaries made payments of $1.3 billion for business acquisitions during fiscal year 2012; however, no payments were made by the guarantor subsidiaries for business acquisitions during fiscal year 2012.  We further note that the long-term intercompany notes payable relate to the funding of large acquisitions.  Please explain why a $561.7 million intercompany note payable was recognized for the guarantor subsidiary with no corresponding payment for a business combination in the cash flow statement.
 
 
Response
 
In March 2012, the Parent and Issuer Fox LP co-issued $1.0 billion of bonds.  All of the bond proceeds from the bond issuance were received by the Parent.  Consistent with the arrangement between the Parent and Issuer Fox LP in May 2012, $200.0 million and $800.0 million of the bonds were included as liabilities of Parent and Issuer Fox LP, respectively.  Intercompany notes were established between the Parent, Issuer Fox LP, and various guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries representing a tiered intercompany liability structure for repayment of the proceeds borrowed to acquire Flint Energy Services, Ltd (“Flint”).  As a matter of convenience, the proceeds went directly from the Parent to the depository agent to consummate the acquisition and cash did not physically flow through all of the legal entities in the acquisition structure.  However, we believe it is appropriate to present the intercompany activities on the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows as if cash had physically been transferred in order to best reflect the underlying economics of the transactions.  As discussed in the response to comment #1, we have made revisions to the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows.

As part of the transaction structure for the acquisition of Flint, the Parent established an intercompany note receivable of $555 million with a guarantor subsidiary which then established a corresponding note receivable in the same amount with a non-guarantor subsidiary.  The intercompany notes payable of $561.7 million in the guarantor column includes this intercompany note payable and the intercompany notes receivable of $583.8 million in the same column includes the intercompany note receivable.  Because the acquirer of Flint is a non-guarantor, there is no corresponding payment for a business acquisition in the guarantor column of the cash flow statement.

Cash borrowings and cash payments presented above represent cash transactions reported as financing activities in the Parent’s statement of cash flows. The remaining activities were non-cash adjustments.

As described in our response to item 6 above, all of the proceeds from the bond issuance were received by the Parent.  Consistent with the arrangement between Parent and Issuer Fox LP in May 2012, $200.0 million and $800.0 million of the bonds were included as liabilities of Parent and Issuer Fox LP, respectively.  Intercompany notes were established between the Parent, Issuer Fox LP, and various guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries representing a tiered intercompany liability structure for repayment of the proceeds borrowed to acquire Flint Energy Services, Ltd (“Flint”).  As a matter of convenience, the proceeds went directly from the Parent to the depository agent to consummate the acquisition, as such, cash did not physically flow through all of the legal entities in the acquisition structure.  However, we believe it is appropriate to present the intercompany activities on the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows as if cash had physically been transferred in order to best reflect the legal obligations of each subsidiary and the underlying economics of the transactions.  All intercompany activities were treated previously as though cash had physically been transferred, except in the Issuer Fox LP’s cash flows.  In addition, the $800.0 million of bond proceeds have now been treated as if cash proceeds were received by Issuer Fox LP, which is consistent with the recognition of bond liabilities described above. We have revised the cash flows to consistently reflect these transactions.

In October 2012, approximately $100.4 million of cash was repaid on the intercompany loans created in the acquisition structure, resulting in a transfer of cash from Issuer Fox LP and the Parent.  As a result, $100.4 million of the bond liabilities were reallocated to the Parent, resulting in balances at December 28, 2012 of $299.4 million and $699.6 million, for the Parent and Issuer Fox LP, respectively.
