See notes to condensed consolidated financial statements--unaudited. 7 8 DYCOM INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Unaudited 1. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Dycom Industries, Inc. ("Dycom" or the "Company") as of April 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended April 29, 2000 and April 30, 1999 and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended April 29, 2000 and April 30, 1999 reflect all normal recurring adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of such statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended April 29, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results which may be expected for the entire year. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION -- The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. These statements include Dycom Industries, Inc. and its subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. During fiscal 1999, the Company acquired Locating, Inc. ("LOC"), Ervin Cable Construction, Inc. ("ECC"), Apex Digital TV, Inc. ("APX"), and Triple D Communications, Inc. ("DDD"). During fiscal 2000, the Company acquired Lamberts' Cable Splicing Company ("LCS"), C-2 Utility Contractors, Inc. ("C-2"), Artoff Construction Company, Inc. ("ACC"), and K.H. Smith Communications, Inc. ("KHS"). Each of these transactions was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The Company's results include the results of LOC, ECC, APX, DDD, LCS, C-2, ACC, and KHS from their respective acquisition dates until April 29, 2000. See Note 4. On March 8, 2000, Niels Fugal Sons Company ("NFS") merged with the Company in an exchange of common stock. This transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements include the results of NFS for all periods presented. See Note 4. The Company's operations consist primarily of providing specialty contracting services to the telecommunications and electrical utility industries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR -- On September 29, 1999, the Company changed to a fiscal year with 52 or 53 week periods ending on the Saturday nearest July 31. This Quarterly Report presents financial information for the first, second and third quarters of fiscal 2000, beginning August 1, 1999 and ending April 29, 2000. The unaudited results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the quarter ended April 29, 2000 contains 91 days compared to 89 days for the unaudited results of operations and cash flows for the quarter ended April 30, 1999. The unaudited results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the nine months ended April 29, 2000 and April 30, 1999 contain 273 days each. USE OF ESTIMATES -- The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences may be material to the financial statements. Estimates are used in the Company's revenue recognition of work-in-process, allowance for doubtful accounts, self-insured claims liability, depreciation and amortization, and in the estimated lives of assets, including intangibles. RECLASSIFICATIONS -- Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation. REVENUE -- Income on short-term contracts is recognized as the related work is completed. Work-in-process on unit contracts is based on work performed but not billed. Income on long-term contracts is recognized on the percentage-of-completion method based primarily on the ratio of contract costs incurred to date to total estimated contract costs. At the time a loss on a contract becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is accrued. "Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings" represents the excess of contract revenues recognized under the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for long-term contracts and work-in-process on unit contracts over billings to date. For those contracts in which billings exceed contract revenues recognized to date, such excesses are included in the caption "billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings." CASH AND EQUIVALENTS -- Cash and equivalents include cash balances on deposit in banks, overnight repurchase agreements, certificates of deposit, commercial paper, and various other financial instruments having an original maturity of three months or less. For purposes of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers these amounts to be cash equivalents. INVENTORIES - Inventories consist primarily of materials and supplies used to complete certain of the Company's long-term contracts. The Company values these inventories using the first-in, first-out method. The Company periodically reviews the appropriateness of the carrying value of its inventories. The Company records a reserve for obsolescence if inventories are not expected to be used in the Company's normal course of business. No reserve has been recorded in the periods presented. 8 9 PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT -- Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is computed over the estimated useful life of the assets utilizing the straight-line method. The estimated useful service lives of the assets are: buildings--20-31 years; leasehold improvements--the term of the respective lease or the estimated useful life of the improvements, whichever is shorter; vehicles--3-7 years; equipment and machinery--2-10 years; and furniture and fixtures--3-10 years. Maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred; expenditures that enhance the value of the property or extend its useful life are capitalized. When assets are sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in income. MARKETABLE SECURITIES -- As of July 31, 1999, all of the Company's investment holdings have been classified in the consolidated balance sheet as other assets. Unrealized holding gains are included as a separate component of shareholders' equity. The fair value of the Company's investment holdings at July 31, 1999 was $148,224 and no such investments were held as of April 29, 2000. INTANGIBLE ASSETS -- The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the tangible net assets of acquired businesses (goodwill) is amortized on a straight-line basis over 20-40 years. The appropriateness of the carrying value of goodwill is reviewed periodically by the Company at the subsidiary level. An impairment loss is recognized when the projected future cash flows are less than the carrying value of goodwill. No impairment loss has been recognized in the periods presented. As of April 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, net intangible assets include $86.5 million and $58.9 million of net goodwill, respectively. Amortization expense was $1,144,107 and $350,725 for the three months ended April 29, 2000 and April 30, 1999, respectively, and was $2,943,382 and $434,466 for the nine months ended April 29, 2000 and April 30, 1999, respectively. The intangible assets are net of accumulated amortization of $5,416,327 at April 29, 2000 and $2,472,945 at July 31, 1999. SELF-INSURED CLAIMS LIABILITY -- The Company retains the risk, up to certain limits, for automobile and general liability, workers compensation, and employee group health claims. A liability for unpaid claims and the associated claim expenses, including incurred but not reported losses, is actuarially determined and reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements as an accrued liability. The self-insured claims liability includes incurred but not reported losses of $5,130,565 and $4,860,659 at April 29, 2000 and July 31, 1999, respectively. The determination of such claims and expenses and the appropriateness of the related liability is continually reviewed and updated. CUSTOMER ADVANCES -- Under the terms of certain contracts, the Company receives advances from customers that may be offset against future billings by the Company. The Company has recorded these advances as liabilities and has not recognized any revenue for these advances. INCOME TAXES -- The Company and its subsidiaries file a consolidated federal income tax return. Deferred income taxes are provided for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the Company's assets and liabilities. PER SHARE DATA -- Earnings per common share-basic is computed using the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period. Earnings per common share-diluted is computed using the weighted-average common shares outstanding during the period and the dilutive effect of common stock options, using the treasury stock method. See Note 3. STOCK SPLITS -- On January 20, 2000, the Board of Directors declared a 3-for-2 split of the Company's common stock, effected in the form of a stock dividend paid on February 16, 2000 to stockholders of record on February 2, 2000. All agreements concerning stock options provide for the issuance of additional shares due to the declaration of the stock split. An amount equal to the par value of the common shares issued plus cash paid in lieu of fractional shares was transferred from capital in excess of par value to the common stock account. All references to number of shares and to per share information have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS -- In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133 "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" which establishes standards for the accounting and reporting of derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, (collectively referred to as derivatives) and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position and measure those instruments at fair value. In June 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137 which deferred the effective date of SFAS No. 133 by one year to periods beginning after June 15, 2000. Management is currently evaluating the requirements and related disclosures of SFAS No. 133. 9 10 3. COMPUTATION OF PER SHARE EARNINGS The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per share computation as required by SFAS No. 128.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The federal employment tax returns for one of the Company's subsidiaries are currently being audited by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"). As a result of the audit, the Company received an examination report from the IRS in October 1999 proposing a $6.1 million tax deficiency. At issue, according to the examination report, is the taxpayer's payment of certain employee allowances for the years 1995 through 1997 without reporting such payment as wages on the employees' W-2 Forms. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position in this matter and believes it has a number of legal defenses available to it, which would significantly reduce or possibly eliminate the proposed tax deficiency, although there can be no assurance in this regard. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements. In the normal course of business, certain subsidiaries of the Company have pending and unasserted claims. It is the opinion of the Company's management, based on the information available at this time, that these claims will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into employment agreements with certain members of the Company's executive management. It is the opinion of the Company's management based on the information available at this time, that these agreements will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements. 10.

Capital expenditures have been financed by operating and capital leases, bank borrowings and internal cash flow. To the extent that the Company seeks to grow by acquisitions that involve consideration other than Company stock, the Company's capital requirements may increase, although the Company is not currently subject to any commitments or obligations with respect to any acquisitions.

For the nine months ended April 29, 2000, net cash provided by operating activities was $36.0 million compared to $27.8 million for the nine months ended April 30, 1999. Net income and non-cash charges are the primary sources of operating cash flow.

In the nine months ended April 29, 2000, net cash used in investing activities was $60.2 million as compared to $69.7 million for the same period last year. For the nine months ended April 29, 2000, capital expenditures of $32.8 million were for the normal replacement of equipment and purchases for the start up of certain long-term contracts. In August 1998, the Company purchased a 13.0% equity interest in Witten Technologies, Inc. ("Witten") for $3.0 million. Witten has developed, and is the owner of, various proprietary technologies and materials relating to ground-penetrating radar and the use of other electromagnetic frequencies.

Located in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, KHS's primary business is the construction and maintenance of telecommunications systems. In the nine months ended April 29, 2000, net cash provided by financing activities was $0.2 million, which was primarily attributable to the proceeds from the exercise of stock options net of principal payments on long-term notes. On April 27, 1999, the Company signed an amendment to its bank credit agreement increasing the total facility to $175.3 million and extending the facility's maturity to April 2002. The amended bank credit agreement provides for (i) a $17.5 million standby letter of credit facility, (ii) a $50.0 million revolving working capital facility, (iii) a $12.8 million five-year term loan, and (iv) a $95.0 million equipment acquisition and small business purchase facility. The Company is required to pay an annual non-utilization fee equal to 0.15% of the unused portion of the revolving working capital and the equipment acquisition and small business purchase facilities. In addition, the Company pays annual agent and facility commitment fees of $15,000 and $135,000, respectively. The Company had total outstanding standby letters of credit of $13.7 million at April 29, 2000, including letters of credit issued to the Company's insurance administrators as part of its self-insurance program of $13.4 million and miscellaneous letters of credit of $0.3 million. The revolving working capital facility bears interest, at the option of the company, at the bank's prime interest rate minus 1.125% or LIBOR plus 1.25%. As of April 29, 2000, there was no outstanding balance on this facility resulting in an available borrowing capacity of $50.0 million. The outstanding loans under the equipment acquisition and small business purchase facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, at the 19 20 bank's prime interest rate minus 0.75% or LIBOR plus 1.50%. The advances under the equipment acquisition and small business purchase facility are converted to term loans with maturities not to exceed 48 months. The outstanding principal on the equipment term loans is payable in quarterly installments though February 2001. There were no amounts outstanding on the equipment acquisition and small business purchase facility at April 29, 2000, resulting in an available borrowing capacity of $71.1 million. The available borrowing capacity on this nonrevolving facility has been reduced due to prior borrowings which have been repaid in full. The outstanding principal under the term loan bears interest at the bank's prime interest rate minus 0.50% (7.94% at April 29, 2000). Principal and interest is payable in semiannual installments through April 2003. The amount outstanding on the term loan was $10.8 million at April 29, 2000. The amended bank credit agreement requires the Company to maintain certain financial covenants and conditions, as well as restricting the encumbrances of assets and the creation of additional indebtedness and limits the payment of cash dividends. No cash dividends were paid during the periods presented. At April 29, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all covenants and conditions under the credit agreement. The Company believes its capital resources, together with existing cash balances, to be sufficient to meet its financial obligations, including the scheduled debt payments under the amended bank credit agreement and operating lease commitments, and to support the Company's normal replacement of equipment at its current level of business for at least the next twelve months. The Company's future operating results and cash flows may be affected by a number of factors including the Company's success in bidding on future contracts and the Company's continued ability to effectively manage controllable costs.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK The Company considered the provision of Financial Reporting Release No. 48, "Disclosure of Accounting Policies for Derivative Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments, and disclosure of Quantitative and Qualitative Information about Market Risk Inherent in Derivative Financial Instruments, Other Financial Instruments and Derivative Commodity Instruments." The Company had no holdings of derivative financial or commodity instruments at April 29, 2000. A review of the Company's other financial instruments and risk exposures at that date revealed that the Company had exposure to interest rate risk. At April 29, 2000, the Company performed sensitivity analyses to assess the potential effect of this risk and concluded that near-term changes in interest rates should not materially affect the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. 20 21 PART II.
