The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements. 4 AMERICAN PLUMBING & MECHANICAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION American Plumbing & Mechanical, Inc. and subsidiaries ("AMPAM" or the "Company"), is the largest company in the United States focused primarily on the plumbing contracting services industry. The Company also provides heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") and mechanical contracting services. AMPAM provides plumbing, mechanical and HVAC installation services to single family residential, multifamily residential and commercial construction customers. These unaudited interim statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's historical consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the year ended December 31, 2001. These unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for reporting interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. Management believes all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the fiscal year. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used to determine the Company's revenue on uncompleted contracts. These estimates also impact the current asset and "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts" and the current liability "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts". See REVENUE RECOGNITION for a further discussion. Estimates of the ultimate liability for losses under self insured insurance programs are also included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION The Company recognizes revenue from construction contracts on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the percentage of cost incurred to total estimated costs for each contract. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs. Provisions for the total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, estimated profitability, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income, the effects of which are recognized in the period the revisions are determined. Revenues from services are recognized when services are performed. 5 The current asset, "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts," represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The current liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. 3. LOCATION SHUTDOWNS In August 2002, management decided to shut down the Company's commercial operations in Sacramento, CA and Pensacola, FL as well as the single family operations in southern Virginia. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002, these operations have collectively lost $8.2 million and $16.9 million, respectively on a pretax basis. The Company has accrued $3.0 million on contracts where the total estimated completion costs exceed the contract amount. This amount is included in "Accounts payable and accrued expenses" as of September 30, 2002. During the quarter ended September 30, 2002, the Company recorded an asset impairment loss of $0.5 million resulting from the write-down of the carrying value of assets of the shutdown locations to net realizable value. Management expects to incur additional costs related to the shutdown of these operations; the extent and timing of which are undeterminable at this time. The major portion of these losses relate to the commercial operations in Sacramento, CA. As a result of the shutdown of these locations, the Company has evaluated the carrying value of the goodwill associated with the commercial segment as required under SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". At this point no impairment of goodwill is indicated. The results of these shutdown operations included in income from operations for the presented periods are as follows (unaudited, in thousands):

On April 1, 1999, AMPAM entered into the Credit Facility with a total commitment of $95.0 million. The Credit Facility was subsequently amended and extended to mature on March 31, 2004. The Credit Facility bears interest, at the Company's option, at the base rate of the arranging bank plus an applicable margin, or at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. During the first quarter of 2002, the Credit Facility was further amended to allow for, among other things, the settlement of the lawsuit described in note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. The Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain specified financial covenants including minimum amounts of EBITDA, maximum ratios of funded debt to EBITDA, a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a minimum net worth, capital expenditure limitations and other restrictive covenants. Additionally, the terms of the Credit Facility limit the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, dispose of assets and make acquisitions or other investments. Additionally, the Company is restricted from making its preferred dividend payments. After amending the Credit Facility in August 2002, the Company is in compliance with its covenants. As partial consideration to the banks for the amendment, certain fees were paid and interest rates were increased. As a component of the August 2002 amendment, the total commitment under the Credit Facility was reduced to $90.0 million through December 30, 2002. The commitment was further reduced to $85.0 million through December 30, 2003 and $80.0 million thereafter. As an additional component of the August 2002 amendment, any asset sales of the Company further reduce the commitment under the Credit Facility by 75 percent of the proceeds derived from the sale. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company received proceeds from the sale of assets of $1,266,000 resulting in a reduction of the commitment of the Credit Facility of approximately $0.9 million to $89.1 million. As of September 30, 2002, the Company had borrowings of $67.0 million leaving $22.1 million in availability under the Credit Facility. Pursuant to the August 2002 amendment to the Credit Facility, the Company may not pay any interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes until evidence of compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facility is provided to the banks. The Company was in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2002 and the semi-annual interest payment was made on October 15, 2002. This provision may cause the Company to make future semi-annual interest payments late by approximately one week. The provisions of the indenture covering the Senior Subordinated Notes allow a grace period of one month on the interest payments. 7 5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES LEGAL PROCEEDINGS In October 2001, AMPAM and its operating subsidiary AMPAM Christianson, L.P. filed suit against two former stockholders of Christianson Enterprises who were holders of approximately one-half of AMPAM's Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock ("preferred stock") alleging, among other things, breaches of certain provisions of the underlying acquisition agreement pursuant to which AMPAM purchased Christianson Enterprises n/k/a AMPAM Christianson. In February 2002, the defendants filed a counterclaim alleging, among other things, anticipatory breach of the acquisition agreement. On April 1, 2002, the parties finalized a settlement agreement and general release pursuant to which the defendants and related parties tendered all of their preferred stock and AMPAM paid the defendants and related parties $3.1 million. Upon transfer of consideration, AMPAM retired the preferred stock and realized an increase in Additional Paid in Capital of $3.8 million representing the liquidation value of the preferred stock received net of the proceeds attributable to the preferred stock and costs incurred to facilitate the settlement. As of April 1, 2002, the defendants and their related parties held 524,410 shares of preferred stock with a liquidation value of $6,817,330 and were due approximately $500,000 for outstanding but undeclared dividends, all of which were included in the settlement. The parties have no further duties, obligations, or liabilities to each other related to the acquisition agreement or preferred stock and have released any and all claims against each other. Three remaining holders of preferred stock hold 524,410 combined shares. The remaining preferred stockholders have exercised their right under the terms of the preferred stock designation to require the Company to purchase all of their preferred stock. Restrictions within the terms of the Company's Credit Facility preclude redemption of the preferred stock and the payment of further dividends. Because the preferred stock has been put to AMPAM, the liquidation value of these shares have been classified as "Other long-term liabilities" on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2002. Although legal proceedings have been threatened to pursue judgment for the liquidation value of the preferred stock, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings initiated by the remaining preferred stockholders, and the Company is negotiating with them in an effort to reach an amicable resolution. Additionally, because the Company has not purchased the preferred stock, pursuant to the terms of the preferred stock designation, the Company may not engage in the following activities without the affirmative vote of not less than a majority of the holders of the preferred stock, voting together as a single class: (i) incur any additional indebtedness for borrowed money other than borrowings under any credit facility to which the Company is a party at such time and as in effect when any redemption payment becomes due and is unpaid or at the time any dividend payment becomes due and is unpaid; (ii) effect (or make any agreement or become obligated to effect) any (a) sale, lease, assignment, transfer or other conveyance of the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries which individually or in the aggregate would constitute a significant subsidiary, (b) consolidation or merger involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (c) dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any of its subsidiaries; provided however that in no event shall the Company effect any sale, lease, assignment, transfer or other conveyance of the assets of the Company or its subsidiaries to affiliates of the Company; (iii) make (or permit any subsidiary to make) any loan or advance to, or own any stock or 8 other securities of, any subsidiary or other corporation, partnership, or other entity unless it is wholly owned by the Company and except for any such loans and advances which do not in the aggregate exceed $250,000; (iv) make any loan or advance to any person, including, without limitation, any employee or director of the Company or any subsidiary, except advances and similar expenditures in the ordinary course of business; or (v) acquire, by purchase, exchange, merger or otherwise, all or substantially all of the properties or assets of any other corporation or entity. The Company is also involved in disputes or legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Management does not believe the outcome of such outstanding legal actions will have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations. INSURANCE AMPAM is self insured for health care, workers' compensation, and general, property and auto liability up to predetermined amounts above which third party insurance applies. Other types of exposures, including an umbrella policy, are insured through third party insurance. Management believes an adequate provision for claims or losses incurred by the Company has been reflected in the consolidated balance sheets. INTEREST RATE SWAP In order to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with its variable rate debt, the Company entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $30 million that expired on September 28, 2002. AMPAM's risk management policy related to this swap agreement was to hedge the exposure to interest rate movements on a portion of its long-term debt. Under the swap, payments were made based on a fixed rate of 3.51% and received on a LIBOR based variable rate. The swap was settled on a quarterly basis with the interest rate differential received or paid by AMPAM recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. The swap expired on September 28, 2002. As such, no further derivative liability exists as of September 30, 2002. 6. GOODWILL In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS 142"). SFAS 142 addresses the accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, and provides that goodwill should not be amortized. Rather, it must be tested for impairment annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate potential impairment. SFAS 142 was effective January 1, 2002. SFAS 142 also required the Company to complete a transitional goodwill impairment test within six months from the date of adoption. The adoption of SFAS 142 on January 1, 2002, resulted in a write-down of goodwill of approximately $34.7 million. This charge, which came from the Company's commercial operations, was non-cash in nature and did not adversely affect the Company's financial covenant compliance with its lenders. The write-down of goodwill was recorded, net of tax benefit of $0.1 million, as a cumulative effect of a change in an accounting principle. Prospectively, the Company will annually evaluate the carrying amount of goodwill associated with its operating segments using a discounted cash flow methodology to identify any potential impairment of goodwill. 9 7. OPERATING SEGMENTS The Company modified its internal organizational structure during the fourth quarter of 2001 and divided its business into three reporting segments: single family residential, multifamily residential and commercial. These operating segments offer similar products and services with differing complexities to distinct customer groups. They are managed separately because each business requires different operating and marketing strategies. All three reporting segments operate domestically, with no intersegment or foreign sales. These segments share similar growth strategies and provide plumbing and HVAC services; however, the different segments provide services to different customers, and have different competitors. The single family residential market includes housing projects, small condominium projects, and town house development. The multifamily residential market includes large condominium and apartment projects. The commercial market includes retail establishments, office buildings, hotels, assisted-living centers, waste water and water purification plants, manufacturing plants and other industrial complexes and public and private institutional buildings including schools, hospitals, dormitories, military and other governmental facilities, stadiums, arenas, convention centers, airports and prisons. The financial information presented for each segment does not allocate corporate overhead costs. Corporate expenses in the periods presented included costs related to operational, sales and marketing, accounting and administrative support. Corporate assets primarily include cash, deferred tax assets, debt issuance costs, goodwill and other intangible assets, fixed assets related to the Company's corporate office and non-trade accounts receivable. Net intersegment receivables and payables are reflected in total assets in the following table. The Company measures performance of the segments based on income from operations. Segment information for the quarters ended September 30, 2002 and 2001 is as follows (unaudited, in thousands): 2002

8. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME/(LOSS) Total Comprehensive Income/(Loss) for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 was $2.1 million and $(2.0) million, respectively. Total Comprehensive Income/(Loss) for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 and 2002 was $6.8 million and $(39.6) million, respectively. 9. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of 11 FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No.145, among other things, amends SFAS No.4 and SFAS No. 64, to require that gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt generally be classified within continuing operations. The provisions of SFAS No. 145 are effective for fiscal years beginning after May 15, 2002 and early application is encouraged. At September 30, 2002, "Other Noncurrent Assets" included $1.0 million of capitalized costs associated with the Credit Facility and $2.6 million of capitalized costs associated with the Senior Subordinated Notes. Additionally, the discount related to the Senior Subordinated Notes was $1.3 million at September 30, 2002. These amounts are amortized as a component of interest expense. Historically, these items were presented as an extraordinary gain or loss upon early extinguishment of the related indebtedness. Under SFAS No. 145, such items are expensed within income from continuing operations if the related indebtedness is retired. The Company has no such plans for retirement at this time. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 replaces Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity". This standard requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. This statement is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company has followed the requirements of SFAS No. 146 in accounting for the location shutdown described in note 3. 12 ITEM 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations THE FOLLOWING DISCUSSION SHOULD BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH OUR UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES INCLUDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS QUARTERLY REPORT ON FORM 10-Q AND THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND RELATED NOTES AND OTHER DETAILED INFORMATION REGARDING AMPAM INCLUDED IN OUR ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2001 AND OTHER REPORTS FILED BY US WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. This report contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Securities Act") and Section 21E of the Exchange Act to be covered by safe harbors created thereby. Such forward-looking statements are made only as of the date of this report and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company, or industry results, to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Readers are cautioned that such information involves risks and uncertainties, including those created by general market conditions, competition and the possibility that events may occur which limit the ability of American Plumbing & Mechanical, Inc. and subsidiaries ("AMPAM", the "Company", "we" or "us") to maintain or improve its operating results.

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included or incorporated by reference in this report that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such things as future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), business strategy and measures to implement such strategy, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of our business and operations, plans, references to future success, as well as other statements which include words such as "anticipate," "believe," "plan," "estimate," "expect," and "intend" and other similar expressions, constitute forward-looking statements. Although we believe that the assumptions underlying the forward-looking statements contained herein are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and the inclusion of such information should not be regarded as a representation that it will occur. GENERAL American Plumbing and Mechanical, Inc. and subsidiaries ("AMPAM", the "Company", "we" or "us") is the largest company in the United States focused primarily on the plumbing contracting services industry. The Company also provides heating, ventilation and air conditioning ("HVAC") and mechanical contracting services. We provide plumbing, mechanical and HVAC installation services to single family residential, multifamily residential and commercial construction customers. 13 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS In August 2002, management decided to shutdown our commercial operations in Sacramento, CA and Pensacola, FL as well as our single family operations in southern Virginia. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2002, these operations have collectively incurred net losses of $8.2 million and $16.9 million, respectively, on a pretax basis. Management expects to incur additional costs related to the shutdown of these operations, the extent and timing of which are undeterminable at this time. The major portion of these losses relate to our commercial operations in Sacramento, CA. The results of these shutdown operations included in income from operations for the presented periods are as follows (in thousands):

Three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to three months ended September 30, 2002 Revenues decreased $9.9 million, from $157.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $147.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Our most significant revenue decreases were in our ongoing commercial operations in Ohio and San Diego ($9.0 million). The revenue decrease in our commercial markets was attributable to a focus on higher margin contracts, the weaker economy and increased competition, which resulted in fewer contracts being received. We noted smaller revenue reductions in other markets which were partially offset by revenue increases in our startup operations of $3.9 million, excluding our commercial startup in Sacramento, CA which had a revenue increase of $5.4 million. Gross profit decreased $9.9 million, from $26.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $16.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Our locations that are being shut down accounted for $6.6 million of the decrease. The gross profit decrease at locations that are being shut down is due to losses resulting from unfavorable changes in job estimates and poor field performance. The decrease in gross profit from ongoing operations of $3.3 million is due to overall lower volume and lower gross margins. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.7 million increase in gross profit from our start up operations (excluding our commercial startup in Sacramento, CA). 14 Gross margin decreased from 16.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to 11.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to lower margins at locations that are being shut down. Gross margin from ongoing operations decreased from 17.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to 16.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2002. Gross margins from our startups have improved from 12.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2001 to 14.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to higher workers compensation insurance and casualty insurance costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.9 million, from $15.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $14.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to reductions in personnel costs. The goodwill amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2001 was $1.4 million. As a result of our adoption of SFAS 142, we no longer amortize goodwill. See note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of this item. Interest expense decreased $0.3 million, from $4.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in interest expense was attributable to lower interest rates and lower average levels of debt. Net income (loss) decreased $4.3 million, from net income of $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001, to net loss of ($2.1) million for the three months ended September 30, 2002 The net loss was primarily due to an increase in losses incurred by the locations that are being shut down ($4.8 million). The ongoing operations reflected an improvement in net income of $0.5 million resulting from lower interest expense and lower selling, general and administrative expenses. Nine months ended September 30, 2001 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2002 Revenues decreased $23.3 million from $461.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to $438.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Our most significant revenue decreases were in our ongoing commercial operations in Ohio and San Diego ($24.7 million) and our Austin, TX single family market ($14.3 million). The revenue decrease in these markets was attributable to a focus on higher margin contracts, the weaker economy and increased competition, which resulted in fewer contracts being received. These decreases were partially offset by revenue increases in our startup operations of $16.1 million, excluding our commercial startup in Sacramento, CA which had a revenue increase of $22.9 million. Gross profit decreased $23.3 million, from $77.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to $53.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Our locations that are being shutdown accounted for $12.8 million of the decrease. The gross profit decrease at locations that are being shut down is due to losses resulting from unfavorable changes in job estimates and poor field performance. The decrease in gross profit from ongoing operations of $10.5 million is due to overall lower volume and lower gross margins. These decreases were partially offset by a $2.6 million increase in gross profit from our start up operations (excluding our commercial startup in Sacramento, CA). Gross margin decreased from 16.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 12.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, primarily due to lower margins at the locations that are being shut down. Gross margin from ongoing operations decreased from 17.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 16.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Gross margins from our startups have improved from 7.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 to 13.0% for the nine 15 months ended September 30, 2002. The decrease in gross margin was mainly due to higher workers compensation insurance and casualty insurance costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.8 million, from $44.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to $48.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher property and casualty insurance costs and increased costs to support the increased volume at our startup locations. The goodwill amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2001 was $4.2 million. As a result of our adoption of SFAS 142, we no longer amortize goodwill. See note 6 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of this item. Interest expense decreased $1.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 as compared to the same period in 2001. This was a result of lower interest rates and lower average levels of debt. The cumulative effect of an accounting change represents the charge we recorded to reflect the transitional impairment adjustment required by SFAS 142. The goodwill write-down of $34.6 million (net of tax benefit) was generated by our commercial segment. Net income (loss) decreased $46.8 million, from net income of $7.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, to net loss of ($39.8) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 The net loss was primarily due to the write-down of goodwill associated with the commercial segment and the losses associated with locations that are being shutdown. The net loss was primarily due to an increase in losses incurred by the locations that are being shut down ($9.9 million). SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES USE OF ESTIMATES The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions by management in determining the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates are used to determine the Company's revenue on uncompleted contracts. These estimates also impact the current asset and "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts" and the current liability "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts". See REVENUE RECOGNITION for a further discussion. Estimates of the ultimate liability for losses under self insured insurance programs are also included in the Company's consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION AMPAM recognizes revenue from construction contracts on the percentage-of-completion method measured by the percentage of cost incurred to total estimated costs for each contract. Contract costs include all direct material and labor costs. Provisions for the total estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. Changes in job performance, job conditions, estimated profitability, and final contract settlements may result in revisions to costs and income, the effects of which are recognized in the period the revisions are determined. Revenues from services are recognized when services are performed. The current asset, "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts," 16 represents revenues recognized in excess of amounts billed. The current liability, "Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts," represents billings in excess of revenues recognized. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES As of September 30, 2002 the Company had $59.7 million in working capital and $161.6 million of outstanding long-term indebtedness, including capital lease obligations totaling $1.0 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002, net cash provided by operating activities was $0.2 million. This was primarily attributable to income from the ongoing operations and a decrease in working capital offset by losses incurred at locations that are being shutdown. Cash used in investing activities was $1.8 million which primarily relates to the capital expenditures of $3.3 million, offset by proceeds from sales of property and equipment. Cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, was $3.4 million and was primarily obtained from net borrowings on our Credit Facility of $7.0 million which was used to invest in the business and retire preferred shares of $2.6 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2001, net cash provided by operating activities was $10.1 million resulting primarily from operations. Cash used in investing activities was $7.8 million which primarily relates to the capital expenditures of $6.2 million and earnout payments of $2.2 million. Cash used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2001, was $1.1 million and was primarily obtained from net borrowings on our Credit Facility offset by a $1.8 million earnout distribution to former shareholders of AMPAM Christianson. On April 1, 1999, we entered into the Credit Facility with a total commitment of $95.0 million. The Credit Facility was subsequently amended and extended to mature on March 31, 2004. The Credit Facility bears interest, at our option, at the base rate of the arranging bank plus an applicable margin, or at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. During the first quarter of 2002, we further amended the Credit Facility to allow for, among other things, the settlement of the lawsuit described in note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. During August 2002, the Credit Facility was further amended to provide covenant relief. Under this amendment, the Company is also restricted from making any preferred dividend payments. As partial consideration to the banks for the amendment, certain fees were paid and interest rates were increased. After the latest amendment, we are in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Facility. As a component of the August 2002 amendment, the total commitment under the Credit Facility was reduced to $90.0 million through December 30, 2002. The commitment was further reduced to $85.0 million through December 30, 2003 and $80.0 million thereafter. As an additional component of the August 2002 amendment, any asset sales of the Company further reduce the commitment under the Credit Facility by 75 percent of the proceeds derived from the sale. For the three months ended September 30, 2002, the Company received proceeds from the sale of assets of $1,266,000 resulting in a reduction of the commitment of the Credit Facility of approximately $0.9 million to $89.1 million. As of September 30, 2002, we had borrowings of $67.0 leaving $22.1 million available under the Credit Facility. The goodwill impairment resulting from the adoption of SFAS 142 during the first quarter did not adversely affect the Company's financial covenant compliance with its lenders. Pursuant to the August 2002 amendment to the Credit Facility, the Company may not pay any interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes until evidence of compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facility is provided to the banks. We were in compliance with the covenants of the Credit Facility as of September 30, 2002 and the semi-annual interest payment was made on October 15, 2002. Current forecasts indicate continued compliance with the existing covenants through the maturity of the Credit 17 Facility in April 2004. This provision in the August amendment may cause the Company to make future semi-annual interest payments late by approximately one week. The provisions of the indenture covering the Senior Subordinated Notes allow a grace period of one month on the interest payments. In October 2001, AMPAM and its operating subsidiary AMPAM Christianson, L.P. filed suit against two former stockholders of Christianson Enterprises who were holders of approximately one-half of AMPAM's Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock ("preferred stock") alleging, among other things, breaches of certain provisions of the underlying acquisition agreement pursuant to which AMPAM purchased Christianson Enterprises n/k/a AMPAM Christianson. In February 2002, the defendants filed a counterclaim alleging, among other things, anticipatory breach of the acquisition agreement. On April 1, 2002, the parties finalized a settlement agreement and general release pursuant to which the defendants and related parties tendered all of their preferred stock and AMPAM paid the defendants and related parties $3.1 million. Upon transfer of consideration, AMPAM retired the preferred stock and realized an increase in Additional Paid in Capital of $3.8 million representing the liquidation value of the preferred stock received net of the proceeds attributable to the preferred stock and costs incurred to facilitate the settlement. As of April 1, 2002, the defendants and their related parties held 524,410 shares of preferred stock with a liquidation value of $6,817,330 and were due approximately $500,000 for outstanding but undeclared dividends, all of which were included in the settlement. The parties have no further duties, obligations, or liabilities to each other related to the acquisition agreement or preferred stock and have released any and all claims against each other. Three remaining holders of preferred stock, hold 524,410 combined shares. The remaining preferred stockholders have exercised their right under the terms of the preferred stock designation to require the Company to purchase all of their preferred stock. Restrictions within the terms of the Company's Credit Facility preclude redemption of the preferred stock and the payment of further dividends. Because the preferred stock has been put to AMPAM, the liquidation value of these shares have been classified as "Other long-term liabilities" on the balance sheet as of September 30, 2002. Although legal proceedings have been threatened to pursue judgment for the liquidation value of the preferred stock, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings initiated by the remaining preferred stockholders, and the Company is negotiating with them in an effort to reach an amicable resolution. See note 5 to the consolidated financial statements. We anticipate that our cash flow from operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility will provide sufficient cash to enable us to meet our working capital needs, debt service requirements, and planned capital expenditures for property and equipment through the maturity of the Credit Facility in April 2004. Management will seek additional sources of capital before the Credit Facility is due. SEASONALITY The plumbing and mechanical contracting services industry is influenced by seasonal factors, which generally result in lower activity during winter months than in other periods. As a result, we expect that our revenues and profits will generally be lower in the first and fourth quarters of each fiscal year, and higher in the second and third quarters. ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks We are exposed to various market risks primarily related to potential adverse changes in interest rates. In the normal course of business, we employ established policies and procedures to manage this risk. Our exposure to changes in interest rates primarily results from our short-term and long-term debt with both fixed and floating interest rates. AMPAM's debt with fixed interest rates consists of Senior Subordinated Notes and capital leases. Our debt with variable interest rates consists primarily of the Credit Facility. 18 In order to mitigate the interest rate risk associated with our variable rate debt, we entered into an interest rate swap with a notional amount of $30 million that expired on September 28, 2002. Our risk management policy related to this swap agreement was to hedge the exposure to interest rate movements on a portion of our long-term debt. Under the extension, payments were made based on a fixed rate of 3.51% and received on a LIBOR based variable rate. The swap was settled on a quarterly basis with the interest rate differential received or paid by AMPAM recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. The swap expired on September 28, 2002. As such, no further derivative liability exists as of September 30, 2002. A one percent increase in the interest rate on the variable rate debt would result in an annual increase of $0.7 million in interest expense. Other than the items mentioned above, there were no other material quantitative or qualitative changes during the first nine months of fiscal 2002 in the Company's market risk sensitive instruments. ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures Within the 90-day period before the filing of this report, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including the Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), of the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. AMPAM also maintains a system of internal accounting controls that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the books and records of the Company accurately reflect the transactions of the Company and that the Company's polices and procedures are followed. There have been no significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect such controls since the most recent evaluation of these controls, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the Company's internal controls. 19 PART II - OTHER INFORMATION ITEM 1. - Legal Proceedings In October 2001, AMPAM and its operating subsidiary AMPAM Christianson, L.P. filed suit against two former stockholders of Christianson Enterprises who were holders of approximately one-half of AMPAM's Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock ("preferred stock") alleging, among other things, breaches of certain provisions of the underlying acquisition agreement pursuant to which AMPAM purchased Christianson Enterprises n/k/a AMPAM Christianson. In February 2002, the defendants filed a counterclaim alleging, among other things, anticipatory breach of the acquisition agreement. On April 1, 2002, the parties finalized a settlement agreement and general release pursuant to which the defendants and related parties tendered all of their preferred stock and AMPAM paid the defendants and related parties $3.1 million. Upon transfer of consideration, AMPAM retired the preferred stock and realized an increase in Additional Paid in Capital of $3.8 million representing the liquidation value of the preferred stock received net of the proceeds attributable to the preferred stock and costs incurred to facilitate the settlement. As of April 1, 2002, the defendants and their related parties held 524,410 shares of preferred stock with a liquidation value of $6,817,330 and were due approximately $500,000 for outstanding but undeclared dividends, all of which were included in the settlement. The parties have no further duties, obligations, or liabilities to each other related to the acquisition agreement or preferred stock and have released any and all claims against each other. There are three remaining holders of preferred stock, that hold 524,410 combined shares. The remaining preferred stockholders have exercised their right to require the Company to purchase all of their preferred stock. Restrictions within the terms of the Company's Credit Facility preclude redemption of the preferred stock and the payment of further dividends. Although legal proceedings have been threatened to pursue judgment for the liquidation value of the preferred stock, the Company is not aware of any legal proceedings initiated by the remaining preferred stockholders, and the Company is negotiating with them in an effort to reach an amicable resolution. From time to time we are involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. AMPAM maintains insurance coverage against potential claims in an amount which management believes to be adequate. Currently, we are not aware of any legal proceedings or pending claims that we believe will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or consolidated results of operations.
