NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Unaudited The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Dycom Industries, Inc. ("Dycom" or the "Company") as of October 28, 2000 and July 29, 2000, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three months ended October 28, 2000 and October 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 months ended October 28, 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 2000, the Company acquired Lamberts' Cable Splicing Company ("LCS"), C-2 Utility Contractors, Inc. ("C-2"), and Artoff Construction Company, Inc. ("ACC"). During fiscal 2001, the Company acquired Cable Connectors, Inc. ("CAB"). Each of these transactions was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting. The Company's results include the results of LCS, C-2, ACC, and CAB from their respective acquisition dates until October 28, 2000. 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 quarter of fiscal 2001, beginning July 30, 2000 and ending October 28, 2000. The unaudited results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the quarter ended October 28, 2000 contains 91 days compared to 91 days for the unaudited results of operations and cash flows for the quarter ended October 30, 1999. 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. 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. 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 7 8 sold or retired, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is included in income. 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 October 28, 2000 and July 29, 2000, net intangible assets include $86.6 million and $85.4 million of net goodwill, respectively. Amortization expense was $1,143,201 and $1,043,536 for the three months ended October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999. The intangible assets are net of accumulated amortization of $7,695,291 at October 28, 2000 and $6,552,090 at July 29, 2000, respectively. 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 $6,209,390 and $5,161,379 at October 28, 2000 and July 29, 2000, respectively. The determination of such claims and expenses and the appropriateness of the related liability is periodically 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. SFAS No. 133 did not have a material impact on the financial statements of the Company. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101 "Revenue Recognition" which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB No. 101 is applicable beginning with our fourth quarter fiscal 2001 consolidated financial statements. Based on our current analysis of SAB No. 101, management does not believe it will have an impact on the financial results of the Company. 8 9 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 128.

The Company had total outstanding standby letters of credit of $14.3 million at October 28, 2000, including letters of credit issued to the Company's insurance administrators as part of its self-insurance program of $14.0 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 October 28, 2000, there was no outstanding balance on this facility resulting in an available borrowing capacity of $50.0 million. 12 13 The outstanding loans under the equipment acquisition and small business purchase facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, at the bank's prime interest rate minus 0.75% or LIBOR plus 1.5%. 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 monthly installments through February 2001. As of October 28, 2000, there was no outstanding balance on this facility 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 Term Loan bears interest, at the option of the company, at the bank's prime interest rate minus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.75%. Principal and interest is payable in semiannual installments through April 2002. The amount outstanding on the term loan was $9.8 million at October 28, 2000 and bore interest at the rate of 8.375%. The amended bank credit agreement contains restrictions which, among other things, requires maintenance of certain financial ratios and covenants, restricts encumbrances of assets and creation of indebtedness, and limits the payment of cash dividends. Cash dividends are limited to 50% of each fiscal year's after-tax profits. No cash dividends were paid during the periods presented. At October 28, 2000, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants and conditions. All obligations under the amended credit agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company's subsidiaries and secured by security interest in certain property and assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. In addition to the borrowings under the amended bank credit agreement, certain subsidiaries have outstanding obligations under capital leases and other equipment financing arrangements. The obligations are payable in monthly installments expiring at various dates through April 2002. Interest costs incurred on notes payable, all of which were expensed during the three months ended October 28, 2000 and October 30, 1999 were $262,158 and $242,531, respectively. The interest rates on notes payable under the bank credit agreement are at current rates and, therefore, the carrying amount approximates fair value. 9. 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 its 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 could reduce 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. 13 14 10.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion and analysis provides information which management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of the Company's consolidated financial condition and results of operations. The discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. In March 2000, the Company acquired Niels Fugal Sons Company ("NFS") in a transaction accounted for as a pooling-of-interest. Due to the pooling-of-interest, the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, included elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, have been restated to include the operations of NFS for all periods presented. Results Of Operations The following table sets forth, as a percentage of contract revenues earned, certain items in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods indicated: For the Three Months Ended ----------------------------- October 28, October 30, 2000 1999 ----------- ---------- Contract revenues earned 100.0% 100.0% Expenses: Cost of earned revenues, excluding depreciation 73.7 74.4 General and administrative 7.7 8.3 Depreciation and amortization 3.9 4.2 ------ ------ Total 85.3 86.9 ------ ------ Interest income, net 0.6 0.4 Other income, net 0.1 0.1 ------ ------ Income before income taxes 15.4 13.6 ------ ------ Provision for income taxes 6.1 5.4 ------ ------ Net Income 9.3% 8.2% ====== ====== REVENUES. Contract revenues increased $57.2 million, or 32.2%, to $234.7 million in the quarter ending October 28, 2000 from $177.5 million in the quarter ended October 30, 1999. Of this increase, $61.3 million was attributable to specialty contracting services provided to telecommunications companies, a decrease of $0.9 million was attributable to underground utility locating services provided to various utilities, and a decrease of $3.2 million was attributable to construction and maintenance services provided to electrical utilities, reflecting an increase in overall market demand for the Company's services. During the quarter ended October 28, 2000, the Company recognized $220.6 million of contract revenues from telecommunications services as compared to $159.3 million for the quarter ended October 30, 1999. The increase in the Company's telecommunications service revenues reflects an increased volume of projects and activities associated with cable television services, and an increase in services performed in the design and installation of broadband networks, telephone engineering services, telephony splicing services, premise wiring services, and revenues from services performed under master service agreements. The Company recognized contract revenues of $4.2 million from electric construction and maintenance services in the quarter ended October 28, 2000 as compared to $7.4 million in the quarter ended October 30, 1999. The Company recognized contract revenues of $9.9 million from underground utility locating services in the quarter ended October 28, 2000 as compared to $10.8 million in the quarter ended October 30, 1999. Acquisitions subsequent to October 30, 1999 contributed $10.2 million of contract revenues during the quarter ended October 28, 2000, primarily in contract revenues from telecommunications services. 15 16 Contract revenues from multi-year master service agreements and other long-term agreements represented 72.1% of total contract revenues in the quarter ended October 28, 2000 as compared to 75.5% in the quarter ended October 30, 1999, of which contract revenues from multi-year master service agreements represented 42.1% of total contract revenues in the quarter ended October 28, 2000 as compared to 43.1% in the quarter ended October 30, 1999. COSTS OF EARNED REVENUES. Costs of earned revenues increased $40.9 million to $173.0 million in the quarter ended October 28, 2000 from $132.1 million in the quarter ended October 30, 1999, and decreased as a percentage of contract revenues to 73.7% from 74.4%. Direct labor and equipment costs declined slightly as a percentage of contract revenues as a result of improved productivity and the utilization of more modern equipment. GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. General and administrative expenses increased $3.3 million to $18.1 million in the quarter ended October 28, 2000 from $14.8 million in the quarter ended October 30, 1999. The increase in general and administrative expenses for the quarter ended October 28, 2000, as compared to the quarter ended October 30, 1999, was primarily attributable to increases in salaries, employee benefits, and payroll taxes of $2.7 million, other general and administrative expense of $0.1, and an increase in the provision for doubtful accounts of $0.5 million. General and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of contract revenues to 7.7% from 8.3% in the quarter ended October 28, 2000 as compared to the quarter ended October 30, 1999. DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.6 million to $9.1 million in the quarter ending October 28, 2000 as compared to $7.5 million in the quarter ended October 30, 1999, but decreased as a percentage of contract revenues to 3.9% from 4.2%. The $1.6 million increase reflects the depreciation of additional capital expenditures incurred in the ordinary course of business and amortization of goodwill related to acquisitions made in 2001 and 2000, respectively. INTEREST INCOME, net. Interest income, net increased $0.6 million to $1.3 million in the quarter ended October 28, 2000 from $0.7 million in the quarter ended October 30, 1999. The increase was due to increased cash and equivalents and favorable interest rates. INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes was $14.4 million in the three months ended October 28, 2000 as compared to $9.5 million in the same period last year. The Company's effective tax rate was 40.0% in the three months ended October 28, 2000 as compared to 39.5% in the same period last year. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate due to state income taxes, the amortization of intangible assets that do not provide a tax benefit, and other non-deductible expenses for tax purposes. Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company's needs for capital are attributable primarily to its needs for equipment to support its contractual commitments to customers and its needs for working capital sufficient for general corporate purposes. Capital expenditures have been financed by operating and capital leases, bank borrowings and internal cash flow. The Company's sources of cash have historically been from operating activities, equity offerings, bank borrowings, and from proceeds arising from the sale of idle and surplus equipment and real property. 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. On November 27, 2000, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement with the stockholders of Point to Point Communications, Inc. Dycom is acquiring Point to Point Communications for approximately $65 million, including a cash payment of approximately $52 million and the issuance of approximately $13 million of common stock of the company. The agreement is subject to satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including completion of due diligence procedures and approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Improvement Act. For the three months ended October 28, 2000, net cash provided by operating activities was $20.9 million compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended October 30, 1999. Net income and non-cash charges are the primary sources of operating cash flow. Working capital items used $9.9 million of operating cash flow for the three-month period ended October 28, 2000 principally through a decrease in accounts payable and other accrued liabilities including the payment of approximately $7.5 million of annual bonuses, offset by an increase in income taxes payable. In the three months ended October 28, 2000, net cash used in investing activities was $17.5 million as compared to $21.3 million for the same period last year. For the three months ended October 28, 2000, capital expenditures of $15.3 million were for the normal replacement of equipment and purchases for the start up of certain long-term contracts. In the three months ended October 28, 2000, net cash provided by financing activities was $0.5 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 $14.3 million at October 28, 2000, including letters of credit issued to the Company's insurance administrators as part of its self-insurance program of $14.0 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 October 28, 2000, there was no outstanding balance on this facility resulting in an available borrowing capacity of $50.0 million. 16 17 The outstanding loans under the equipment acquisition and small business purchase facility bear interest, at the option of the Company, at the 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 through February 2001. There were no amounts outstanding on the equipment acquisition and small business purchase facility at October 28, 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 Term Loan bears interest, at the option of the company, at the bank's prime interest rate minus 0.50% or LIBOR plus 1.75%. Principal and interest is payable in semiannual installments through April 2002. The amount outstanding on the term loan was $9.8 million at October 28, 2000 and bore interest at the rate of 8.375%. 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 October 28, 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 October 28, 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 October 28, 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. 17 18 PART II.
