SJW CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1. General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.

The unaudited interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in SJW Corp.’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Water sales are seasonal in nature and influenced by weather conditions. The timing of precipitation and climatic conditions can cause seasonal water consumption by customers to vary significantly. Due to the seasonal nature of the water business, the operating results for interim periods are not indicative of the operating results for a 12-month period. Revenue is generally higher in the warm, dry summer months when water usage and sales are greater, and lower in the winter months when cooler temperatures and increased rainfall curtail water usage and sales.

Basic earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The two-class method in computing basic earnings per share is not used because the number of participating securities as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 260 - “Earning Per Share” is not significant. (The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security.) Diluted earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock including both shares outstanding and shares potentially issuable in connection with stock options, deferred restricted common stock awards under SJW Corp.’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Incentive Plan”) and shares potentially issuable under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 452 and 36 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 1,597 and 1,702 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively.

A portion of depreciation expense is allocated to administrative and general expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the amounts allocated to administrative and general expense were $385 and $379, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the amounts allocated to administrative and general expense were $1,164 and $1,113, respectively.

Note 2. Equity Plans

SJW Corp. accounts for share-based compensation based on the grant date fair value of the awards issued to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 - “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on the estimated fair value for all share-based payment awards.

The Incentive Plan allows SJW Corp. to provide employees, non-employee board members or the board of directors of any parent or subsidiary, consultants, and other independent advisors who provide services to the company or any parent or subsidiary the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in SJW Corp. The types of awards included in the Incentive Plan are restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares, or other share-based awards. As of September 30, 2013, the remaining shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan were 1,160,597, and 315,508 shares were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, restricted stock units, and deferred restricted stock units. In addition, shares are issued to employees under the ESPP. SJW Corp. also has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (“DRSPP”) which allows eligible participants to buy shares and reinvest cash dividends in SJW Corp. common stock.

Note 4. Defined Benefit Plan

San Jose Water Company sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for its eligible employees. Employees hired before March 31, 2008 are entitled to receive retirement benefits using a formula based on the employee’s three highest years of compensation (whether or not consecutive). For employees hired on or after March 31, 2008, benefits are determined using a cash balance formula based upon compensation credits and interest credits for each employee. Officers hired before March 31, 2008 are eligible to receive additional retirement benefits under the Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan, and officers hired on or after March 31, 2008 are eligible to receive retirement benefits under the Cash Balance Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan. Both of the plans are non-qualified plans in which only officers and other designated members of management may participate. The Company also provides health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees under the San Jose Water Company Social Welfare Plan.

Note 6. Long-Term Liabilities

SJW Corp.’s contractual obligations and commitments include senior notes, mortgages and other obligations. San Jose Water Company, a subsidiary of SJW Corp., has received advance deposit payments from its customers on certain construction projects.

Note 7. Fair Value Measurement

The following instruments are not measured at fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013, but require disclosure of their fair values: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of such instruments as of September 30, 2013 approximates their carrying value as reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of such financial instruments are determined using the income approach based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. There have been no changes in our valuation technique during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The fair value of these instruments would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents, which would be categorized as Level 1. The fair value of pension plan assets is discussed in Note 4.

The fair value of SJW Corp.’s long-term debt was approximately $395,866 and $455,042 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the current rates for similar financial instruments of the same duration and creditworthiness of the Company. The book value of the long-term debt was $335,732 and $340,990 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of long-term debt would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Note 8. Balancing and Memorandum Account Recovery Procedures

Balancing and memorandum accounts are recognized in revenue by San Jose Water Company when it is probable that future recovery of previously incurred costs or future refunds that are to be credited to customers will occur through the ratemaking process. In assessing the probability criteria for balancing and memorandum accounts between rate cases, the Company considers evidence that may exist prior to California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) authorization that would satisfy regulated revenue recognition criteria. Such evidence may include regulatory rules and decisions, past practices, and other facts and circumstances that would indicate that recovery or refund is estimable and probable. When such evidence provides sufficient support for balance recognition, the balances are recorded in the Company’s financial statements.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total balance in San Jose Water Company’s balancing accounts, including interest, was a net under-collection of $7,430 and $6,314, respectively. In the general rate case application filed January 3, 2012, San Jose Water Company requested authorization to recover $2,599 of this balance, which represented balances accumulated through December 31, 2010, plus interest. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total balance in San Jose Water Company’s memorandum-type accounts, including interest, was a net over-collection of $1,437 and $1,486, respectively. In the general rate case application filed January 3, 2012, San Jose Water Company requested authorization to refund $650, which represented a portion of the net over-collection accumulated through September 30, 2011, including interest. As of September 30, 2013, the total balance in San Jose Water Company’s balancing and memorandum accounts combined, including interest, was a net under-collection of $5,993.

The Company met the recognition requirements for certain of its balancing and memorandum accounts and certain amounts subject to balancing and memorandum accounts and recorded revenue and regulatory assets totaling $1,761 and $5,320 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and decreased revenue and regulatory assets $584 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. All balancing accounts and memorandum-type accounts not included for recovery or refund in the current general rate case will be reviewed by the CPUC in San Jose Water Company’s next general rate case or at the time an individual account reaches a threshold of 2% of authorized revenue, whichever occurs first.

On August 27, 2010, SJWTX, Inc. filed a rate case with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”). The filing contained a request for an immediate increase in revenue of 38% and a total increase of 71%. The new rates (38%) became effective on October 27, 2010. On August 21, 2013, the TCEQ issued a decision in SJWTX, Inc.'s rate case that supports a 33% increase in revenue requirement. Since the rates authorized by the TCEQ are less than the interim rates, this resulted in a

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

customer refund of approximately $982 for rate over-collections during the period of interim rates. This amount has been recorded as a regulatory liability and reduction of revenue totaling $36 and $982 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

Note 9. Legal Proceedings

SJW Corp. is subject to ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. There are no pending legal proceedings to which SJW Corp. or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or to which any of its properties is the subject, that are expected to have a material effect on SJW Corp.’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 10. Sale of Stock

On March 28, 2013, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, as the representative of several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), which provided for the issuance and sale in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) by the Company and the purchase by the Underwriters of 1,321,000 shares of the Company's common stock with a par value $0.521 per share. The shares were sold at a public offering price of $26.50 per share, and were purchased by the Underwriters at a price of $25.44 per share. The Company also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 198,150 additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. On April 25, 2013, the Underwriters exercised the overallotment option to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of common stock.

The Offering and overallotment option closed on April 3, 2013 and April 29, 2013, respectively. The net proceeds received from the Offering and the exercise of the overallotment option were approximately $35,894, after deducting the Underwriters’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The net proceeds were used to pay down amounts outstanding as of March 31, 2013 under the Company’s bank lines of credit, as well as to fund the construction programs of the Water Utility Services operations and for other general corporate purposes.

Note 11. Regulatory Rate Filings

On January 3, 2012, San Jose Water Company filed a general rate case application requesting rate increases of $47,394, or 21.51% in 2013, $12,963, or 4.87% in 2014, and $34,797, or 12.59% in 2015. This general rate case filing also included several “special requests”, including but not limited to: (1) recovery of under-collected balancing account balances of $2,599, (2) disbursement of over-collected memorandum account balances of $650 and (3) implementation of a full revenue decoupling Water Revenue Adjustment Mechanism (“WRAM”) and associated Modified Cost Balancing Account (“MCBA”). On September 26, 2012, San Jose Water Company filed a motion for interim rate relief so that if a decision was not reached by the end of 2012, San Jose Water Company would be allowed to adopt interim rates, effective January 1, 2013, until a decision is adopted. To date a decision has not been adopted and interim rates are currently in effect. Interim rates were set equal to fiscal year-end 2012 rates. Differences between interim rates and approved rates are tracked in a memorandum account and will be submitted for recovery or refund.

On August 27, 2010, CLWSC filed a rate case with the TCEQ. The filing contained a request for an immediate increase in revenue of 38% and a total increase of 71%. The new rates (38%) became effective on October 27, 2010. CLWSC also requested a rate base determination from the TCEQ. On August 21, 2013, the TCEQ issued a decision in the case that supported a rate base of $38,000, a return on equity of 10.88%, and a 33% increase in revenue requirement. Since the rates authorized by the TCEQ are less than the interim rates, this resulted in a customer refund of approximately $982 for rate over-collections during the period of interim rates.

On October 3, 2013, CLWSC filed a rate case with the TCEQ. The filing contained a requested rate increase of 23.1%, or $2,400. The new rates will become effective for water service provided after December 2, 2013. Customers have 150 days from filing to protest the application. Until final approval by the TCEQ, the rate increase will be subject to adjustment or refund.

These forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Therefore, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed in this report and our most recent Form 10-K filed with the SEC under the item entitled “Risk Factors,” and in other reports SJW Corp. files with the SEC, specifically the most recent reports on Form 10-Q and Form 8-K, each as it may be amended from time to time. SJW Corp. undertakes no obligation to update or revise the information contained in this report, including the forward-looking statements, to reflect any event or circumstance that may arise after the date of this report.

General:

SJW Corp. is a holding company with four subsidiaries: San Jose Water Company, SJW Land Company, SJWTX, Inc., and Texas Water Alliance Limited.

San Jose Water Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of SJW Corp., is a public utility in the business of providing water service to approximately 228,000 connections that serve a population of approximately one million people in an area comprising approximately 138 square miles in the metropolitan San Jose, California area.

The principal business of San Jose Water Company consists of the production, purchase, storage, purification, distribution, wholesale and retail sale of water. San Jose Water Company provides water service to customers in portions of the cities of San Jose and Cupertino and in the cities of Campbell, Monte Sereno, Saratoga and the Town of Los Gatos, and adjacent unincorporated territories, all in the County of Santa Clara in the State of California. San Jose Water Company distributes water to customers in accordance with accepted water utility methods which include pumping from storage and gravity feed from high elevation reservoirs. San Jose Water Company also provides non-tariffed services under agreements with municipalities and other utilities. These non-tariffed services include water system operations, maintenance agreements and antenna leases.

San Jose Water Company has utility property including land held in fee, impounding reservoirs, diversion facilities, wells, distribution storage, and all water facilities, equipment, office buildings and other property necessary to supply its customers. Under Section 851 of the California Public Utilities Code, properties currently used and useful in providing utilities services cannot be disposed of unless CPUC approval is obtained.

San Jose Water Company also has approximately 700 acres of nonutility property which has been identified as no longer used and useful in providing utility services. The majority of the properties are located in the hillside area adjacent to San Jose Water Company’s various watershed properties.

* On February 1, 2013, SJW Land Company closed the sale of its Connecticut warehouse building. Revenue and expense amounts are through the sale closing date and exclude transaction fees and the gain on sale of property.

SJW Land Company owns a 70% limited partnership interest in 444 West Santa Clara Street, L.P. One of the California properties is owned by such partnership. The limited partnership has been determined to be a variable interest entity within the scope of FASB ASC Topic 810 – “Consolidation” with SJW Land Company as the primary beneficiary, and as a result, it has been consolidated with SJW Land Company.

SJWTX, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SJW Corp., doing business as Canyon Lake Water Service Company (“CLWSC”), is a public utility in the business of providing water service to approximately 11,000 connections that serve approximately 36,000 people. CLWSC’s service area comprises more than 240 square miles in western Comal County and southern Blanco County in the growing region between San Antonio and Austin, Texas. SJWTX, Inc. has a 25% interest in Acequia Water Supply Corporation (“Acequia”). The water supply corporation has been determined to be a variable interest entity within the scope of ASC Topic 810 with SJWTX, Inc. as the primary beneficiary. As a result, Acequia has been consolidated with SJWTX, Inc.

Texas Water Alliance Limited (“TWA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SJW Corp., is undertaking activities that are necessary to develop a water supply project in Texas. In connection with the project, TWA applied for groundwater production and transportation permits to meet the future water needs in the Canyon Lake Water Service Company’s service area and to the central Texas hill country communities and utilities adjacent to this area. In January 2013, TWA’s permit was approved unanimously by the groundwater district in Gonzales County. The permit was subsequently received in March 2013.

Business Strategy for Water Utility Services:

SJW Corp. focuses its business initiatives in three strategic areas:

(1) Regional regulated water utility operations.

(2) Regional nonregulated water utility related services provided in accordance with the guidelines established by the CPUC in California and the TCEQ in Texas.

(3) Out-of-region water and utility related services.

As part of its pursuit of the above three strategic areas, the Company considers from time to time opportunities to acquire businesses and assets. However, SJW Corp. cannot be certain it will be successful in identifying and consummating any strategic business acquisitions relating to such opportunities. In addition, any transaction will involve numerous risks, including the possibility of incurring more costs than benefits derived from the acquisition, the assumption of certain known and unknown liabilities related to the acquired assets, the diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations of the business, the potential for a negative impact on SJW Corp.’s financial position and operating results, entering markets in which SJW Corp. has no or limited direct prior experience and the potential loss of key employees of any acquired company. SJW Corp. cannot be certain that any transaction will be successful or that it will not materially harm its operating results or financial condition.

16

Business Strategy for Real Estate Services:

SJW Corp.’s real estate investment activity is conducted through SJW Land Company. SJW Land Company owns undeveloped land and owns and operates a portfolio of commercial buildings in the states of California, Texas, Arizona and Tennessee. SJW Land Company also owns a limited partnership interest in 444 West Santa Clara Street, L.P. The partnership owns a commercial building in San Jose, California. SJW Land Company implements its investment strategy by managing acquired income producing and other properties until such time a determination is made to reinvest proceeds from sale of such properties. SJW Land Company’s real estate investments diversify SJW Corp.’s asset base.

Critical Accounting Policies:

SJW Corp. has identified the accounting policies delineated below as the policies critical to its business operations and the understanding of the results of operations. The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and revenues and expenses during the reporting period. SJW Corp. bases its estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. SJW Corp.’s critical accounting policies are as follows:

Revenue Recognition

SJW Corp. recognizes its regulated and nonregulated revenue when services have been rendered, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605 – “Revenue Recognition.”

Metered revenue of Water Utility Services includes billing to customers based on meter readings plus an estimate of water used between the customers’ last meter reading and the end of the accounting period. Water Utility Services read the majority of its customers’ meters on a bi-monthly basis and records its revenue based on its meter reading results. Unbilled revenue from the last meter reading date to the end of the accounting period is estimated based on the most recent usage patterns, production records and the effective tariff rates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, which may result in an adjustment to operating revenue in the period which the revision to Water Utility Services’ estimates is determined. San Jose Water Company also recognizes balancing and memorandum accounts in its revenue when it is probable that future recovery of previously incurred costs or future refunds that are to be credited to customers will occur through the ratemaking process.

Revenues include a surcharge collected from regulated customers that is paid to the CPUC. This surcharge is recorded both in operating revenues and administrative and general expenses. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the surcharge was $1,132 and $1,314, respectively. For the nine months endedSeptember 30, 2013 and 2012, the surcharge was $2,764 and $2,919, respectively.

SJW Corp. recognizes its nonregulated revenue based on the nature of the nonregulated business activities. Revenue from San Jose Water Company’s nonregulated utility operations, maintenance agreements or antenna leases are recognized when services have been rendered. Revenue from SJW Land Company properties is generally recognized ratably over the term of the leases.

Recognition of Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

Generally accepted accounting principles for water utilities include the recognition of regulatory assets and liabilities as permitted by FASB ASC Topic 980 - “Regulated Operations.” In accordance with ASC Topic 980, Water Utility Services, to the extent applicable, records deferred costs and credits on the balance sheet as regulatory assets and liabilities when it is probable that these costs and credits will be recognized in the ratemaking process in a period different from when the costs and credits are incurred. Accounting for such costs and credits is based on management’s judgment and prior historical ratemaking practices, and it occurs when management determines that it is probable that these costs and credits will be recognized in the future revenue of Water Utility Services through the ratemaking process. The regulatory assets and liabilities recorded by Water Utility Services, in particular, San Jose Water Company, primarily relate to the recognition of deferred income taxes for ratemaking versus tax accounting purposes, balancing and memorandum accounts, postretirement pension benefits, medical costs, accrued benefits for vacation and asset retirement obligations that have not been passed through in rates. The Company adjusts the related asset and liabilities for these items through its regulatory asset and liability accounts at year-end, except for certain postretirement benefit costs and balancing and memorandum accounts which are adjusted monthly. The disallowance of any asset in future ratemaking, including deferred regulatory assets, would require San Jose Water Company to immediately recognize the impact of the costs for financial reporting purposes. No disallowance was recognized during the year-to-date period ended September 30, 2013 or during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Balancing and Memorandum Accounts

The purpose of a balancing account is to track the under-collection or over-collection associated with expense changes and the revenue authorized by the CPUC to offset those expense changes. Pursuant to Section 792.5 of the California Public Utilities Code, a balancing account must be maintained for expense items for which revenue offsets have been authorized.

Balancing accounts are currently being maintained for the following items: purchased water, purchased power, groundwater extraction charges, and pensions. The amount in the water supply balancing accounts varies with the seasonality of the water utility business such that, during the summer months when the demand for water is at its peak, the accounts tend to reflect an under-collection, while during the winter months when demand for water is relatively lower, the accounts tend to reflect an over-collection. The pension balancing account is intended to capture the difference between actual pension expense and the amount approved in rates by the CPUC.

The Company also maintains memorandum accounts to track revenue impacts due to catastrophic events, certain unforeseen water quality expenses related to new federal and state water quality standards, energy efficiency, cost of capital, any revenue requirement impact of the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job Creation Act of 2010, and other approved activities or as directed by the CPUC. Rate recovery for these memorandum accounts is generally allowed in the next general rate case.

Balancing and memorandum accounts are recognized in revenue by San Jose Water Company when it is probable that future recovery of previously incurred costs or future refunds that are to be credited to customers will occur through the ratemaking process. In assessing the probability criteria for balancing and memorandum accounts between rate cases, the Company considers evidence that may exist prior to CPUC authorization that would satisfy ASC Topic 980, subtopic 340-25 recognition criteria. Such evidence may include regulatory rules and decisions, past practices, and other facts and circumstances that would indicate that recovery or refund is probable. When such evidence provides sufficient support for balance recognition, the balances are recorded in the Company’s financial statements.

It is typical for the CPUC to incorporate any over-collected and/or under-collected balances in balancing or memorandum accounts into customer rates at the time rate decisions are made as part of the Company’s general rate case proceedings by assessing temporary surcredits and/or surcharges. In the case where the Company’s balancing or memorandum-type accounts that have been authorized by the CPUC reach certain thresholds or have termination dates, the Company can request the CPUC to recognize the amounts in customer rates prior to the next regular general rate case proceeding by filing an advice letter.

Pension Plan Accounting

San Jose Water Company offers a Pension Plan, an Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan, and certain postretirement benefits other than pensions to employees retiring with a minimum level of service. Accounting for pensions and other postretirement benefits requires an extensive use of assumptions about the discount rate applied to expected benefit obligations, expected return on plan assets, the rate of future compensation increases expected to be received by the employees, mortality, turnover, and medical costs. Plan assets are marked to market at each reporting date.

Income Taxes

SJW Corp. estimates its federal and state income taxes as part of the process of preparing consolidated financial statements. The process involves estimating the actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary differences resulting from different treatment of items for tax and accounting purposes, including the evaluation of the treatment acceptable in the water utility industry and regulatory environment. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included on the balance sheet. If actual results, due to changes in the regulatory treatment, or significant changes in tax-related estimates or assumptions or changes in law, differ materially from these estimates, the provision for income taxes will be materially impacted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02 that expanded disclosures for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company’s other comprehensive income only consists of changes in fair value on available-for-sale securities. Since the Company did not have any sales of available-for-sale securities in the period, there were no reclassifications of accumulated other comprehensive income. The ASU became effective for the Company’s quarter ended March 31, 2013. The guidance did not have any impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11 which provides explicit guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The ASU is effective for fiscal years and interim periods, beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. The

18

Company early adopted this ASU during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Results of Operations:

Water sales are seasonal in nature and influenced by weather conditions. The timing of precipitation and climatic conditions can cause seasonal water consumption by customers to vary significantly. Due to the seasonal nature of the water business, the operating results for interim periods are not indicative of the operating results for a 12-month period. Revenue is generally higher in the warm, dry summer months when water usage and sales are greater and lower in the winter months when cooler temperatures and increased rainfall curtail water usage and sales.

Overview

SJW Corp.’s consolidated net income for the three months ended September 30, 2013 was $8,950, a decrease of $1,134 or approximately 11%, from $10,084 for the same period in 2012. The decrease in net income was primarily due to an increase in groundwater extraction charges and a gain on the sale of our Florida real estate property in the prior year, partially offset by an increase in operating revenue. SJW Corp.’s consolidated net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $17,707, an increase of $1,313 or approximately 8%, from $16,394 for the same period in 2012. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in rates and recognition of certain balancing and memorandum accounts. This increase was partially offset by increases in groundwater extraction charges and depreciation.

Sources of Water Supply

San Jose Water Company’s water supply consists of surface water from watershed run-off and diversion, reclaimed water, groundwater, and purchased water from the Santa Clara Valley Water District (“SCVWD”) under the terms of a master contract with SCVWD expiring in 2051. Surface water is the least expensive source of water. Changes and variations in quantities from each of these sources affect the overall mix of the water supply, thereby affecting the cost of the water supply. In addition, the water rate for purchased water and the groundwater extraction charge may be increased by the SCVWD at any time. If an increase occurs, then San Jose Water Company would file an advice letter with the CPUC seeking authorization to increase revenues to offset the cost increase.

CLWSC’s water supply consists of groundwater from wells and purchased raw water from the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority (“GBRA”). CLWSC has long-term agreements with GBRA, which expire in 2040, 2044 and 2050. The agreements, which are take-or-pay contracts, provide CLWSC with an aggregate of 6,700 acre-feet of water per year from Canyon Lake and other sources at prices to be adjusted periodically by GBRA.

The following table presents the change in sources of water supply, in million gallons, for Water Utility Services:

	Three months ended September 30,		Increase/ (decrease)		% Change		Nine months ended September 30,		Increase/ (decrease)		% Change
	2013	2012					2013	2012
Purchased water	8,578	10,360	(1,782	)	(11	)%	21,418	25,846	(4,428	)	(12	)%
Groundwater	6,457	4,690	1,767		11	%	14,080	9,751	4,329		12	%
Surface water	564	653	(89	)	—	%	2,201	1,833	368		1	%
Reclaimed water	270	231	39		—	%	535	445	90		—	%
	15,869	15,934	(65	)	—	%	38,234	37,875	359		1	%

The changes in the source of supply mix were consistent with the changes in the water production costs.

Unaccounted-for water on a 12-month-to-date basis for September 30, 2013 and 2012 approximated 6.1% and 5.8%, respectively, as a percentage of total production. The estimate is based on the results of past experience, the trend and efforts in reducing Water Utility Services’ unaccounted-for water through main replacements and lost water reduction programs.

Water production costs

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012, the increase in water production costs was primarily attributable to higher per unit costs for purchased water and groundwater extraction charges. Effective July 2013, SCVWD increased the unit price of purchased water by approximately 8% and the groundwater extraction charge by approximately 9%. In addition, water production costs increased due to a decrease in the availability of surface water supply for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012, water production costs decreased due to an increase in the use of available surface water.

20

Other Operating Expenses

Operating expenses, excluding water production costs, increased $635 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to a $498 increase of depreciation expense and $290 increase in property taxes and other non-income taxes as a result of increased utility plant. These increases were offset by a decrease of $86 in maintenance expenses and $67 in administrative and general expenses.

Operating expenses, excluding water production costs, increased $2,585 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily attributable to a $1,423 increase of depreciation expense and $519 increase in property taxes and other non-income taxes as a result of increased utility plant. Maintenance expenses increased $425 primarily due to an increase in main and service leaks that resulted in additional contracted work, paving and materials. In addition, administrative and general expenses increased $218 primarily due to nonrecurring settlement payments and bonus payments incurred in connection with securing permits for our Texas water supply project, offset by lower recycled water retrofit program expenses.

Other (Expense) Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, the change in other (expense) income was primarily due to a gain from the sale of our Florida warehouse real estate property in 2012. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, the change in other (expense) income was primarily due to recognition of $470 in income from non-refundable developer deposits.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012, income tax expense decreased $1,063 and increased $702, respectively, as a result of changes in pre-tax income, respectively. The effective consolidated income tax rates were 39% and 40% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and 41% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2012. The income tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for fiscal years 2008 through 2011 was completed with no adjustments or changes on August 5, 2013.

In January 2013, the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (the “Act”) was passed into law. The Act extends many expired corporate income tax provisions that could affect companies’ current and deferred taxes and related disclosures for financial reporting purposes. The Company has assessed the impact of the Act and the impact has been included in the Company’s financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

On September 13, 2013, the Department of Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service issued final (T.D. 9636) tangible property regulations under provisions that include IRC Sections 162, 263(a), and 167. The final regulations generally are intended to simplify, clarify and make more administrable the 2011 temporary and proposed regulations and broadly apply to amounts to acquire, produce or improve tangible property, as well as dispositions of such property. These final regulations generally are effective for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2014. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of these regulations.

Other Comprehensive Income

The change in other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 was due to a change in market value of the Company’s investment in California Water Service Group.

Water Supply

On October 1, 2013, SCVWD’s 10 reservoirs were approximately 43% full with 71,830 acre-feet of water in storage. As reported by SCVWD, the rainfall year-to-date for the rainfall season from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 was approximately 122% of the seasonal average to date. As of September 30, 2013, San Jose Water Company’s Lake Elsman contained 451 million gallons of which approximately 251 million gallons can be utilized. In addition, the rainfall at San Jose Water Company’s Lake Elsman was measured at 0.72 inches year-to-date for the July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014 rainfall season, which is well above the five-year average. Higher than normal rainfall so early in the rain-year is not an indication of significant rainfall totals for the rain-year going forward. Local surface water is a less costly source of water than groundwater or purchased water and its availability significantly impacts San Jose Water Company’s results of operations. San Jose Water Company believes that its various sources of water supply will be sufficient to meet customer demand through the remainder of 2013.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a Biological Opinion (“BiOp”) and Incidental Take Statement for the Central Valley Project (“CVP”) and the State Water Project (“SWP”) on the Delta smelt. The BiOp prescribes a range of operational criteria that are determined based on hydrology, fish distribution, abundance and other factors. Under a “most likely” scenario, the California Department of Water Resources and United States Bureau of Reclamation estimate that SWP and CVP supplies to SCVWD could be reduced by approximately 17% to 18% of the supply amount they currently receive. Under a “worst case”

21

BiOp scenario, SWP and CVP supplies to SCVWD could be reduced by approximately 32% to 33% of the current supply amount they receive. In addition, while there is some overlap with the California Fish & Game Commission’s restrictions to protect longfin smelt, the longfin pumping restrictions, if triggered, could cause significant supply impacts beyond those estimated to comply with Delta smelt requirements.

Regulation and Rates

Almost all of the operating revenue of San Jose Water Company results from the sale of water at rates authorized by the CPUC. The CPUC sets rates that are intended to provide revenue sufficient to recover operating expenses and produce a specified return on common equity. The timing of rate decisions could have an impact on the results of operations.

On September 30, 2010, San Jose Water Company, in compliance with Commission Decision 09-11-032, requested the CPUC’s approval of upgrades to San Jose Water Company’s 40-year old Montevina Water Treatment Plant (“MWTP”). The MWTP has aging infrastructure and many of its components are at the end of their useful lives, or they do not meet current structural and seismic requirements. On March 6, 2013, San Jose Water Company and the CPUC’s Division of Ratepayer Advocates submitted a joint settlement which, if approved, would provide CPUC approval to move forward with the MWTP upgrades. The settlement substantially provided for: (1) the recorded costs of the Montevina upgrade project to be included in rate base through annual advice letters, (2) a total project cost estimate of $62,000 to be spent over the next five years, which is treated as an advice letter cap for ratemaking purposes, and (3) the opportunity to request additional funding in a future general rate case or separate application if the cost of construction for the Montevina upgrade project exceeds the advice letter construction cap. On July 25, 2013, the CPUC issued Decision 13-07-028, which approved and adopted all provisions of the joint settlement.

On January 3, 2012, San Jose Water Company filed a general rate case application requesting rate increases of $47,394, or 21.51% in 2013, $12,963, or 4.87% in 2014, and $34,797, or 12.59% in 2015. This general rate case filing also included several “special requests”, including but not limited to: (1) recovery of under-collected balancing account balances of $2,599, (2) disbursement of over-collected memorandum account balances of $650 and (3) implementation of a full revenue decoupling Water Revenue Adjustment Mechanism (“WRAM”) and associated Modified Cost Balancing Account (“MCBA”). The WRAM de-couples San Jose Water Company’s revenue requirement from ratepayer usage. Under the WRAM, San Jose Water Company would recover the full quantity revenue amounts authorized by the CPUC by using advice letter filings for any unbilled quantity revenue amounts or refunds for over-collection, regardless of customer usage volumes. A MCBA similarly provides for recovery/refund for changes in water supply mix from amounts authorized by the CPUC. On September 26, 2012, San Jose Water Company filed a motion for interim rate relief so that if a decision was not reached by the end of 2012, San Jose Water Company would be allowed to adopt interim rates, effective January 1, 2013, until a decision is adopted. To date a decision has not been adopted and interim rates are currently in effect. Interim rates were set equal to fiscal year-end 2012 rates. Differences between interim rates and approved rates are tracked in a memorandum account and will be submitted for recovery or refund. On January 29, 2013, the administrative law judge issued a ruling reopening the record of the proceeding for the limited purpose of receiving and evaluating new information regarding security and safety issues. A pre-hearing conference regarding these safety and security issues was held on February 15, 2013 and a scoping memo was issued on March 4, 2013. San Jose Water Company issued a report addressing the safety and security issues raised by the administrative law judge on February 27, 2013, and the Division of Ratepayer Advocates issued testimony on these issues on April 5, 2013. A hearing on these matters was held on April 22, 2013. Legal briefs regarding the safety and security issues were filed on May 6, 2013. The scoping memo issued on March 4, 2013 also included a requirement that parties to the proceeding meet using alternative dispute resolution discussions regarding previously litigated portions of the general rate case. As required, the parties engaged in alternative dispute resolution led settlement talks, however no settlement was reached.

On January 23, 2013, San Jose Water Company filed Advice Letter No. 447 seeking authorization to re-implement a $0.0944 per ccf surcharge to amortize the uncollected balance of $878 in the Mandatory Conservation Revenue Adjustment Memorandum account. This request was approved and the surcharge was re-implemented effective March 1, 2013. The surcharge was removed from customer bills in early June 2013 at which point the uncollected balance had been fully recovered.

On May 23, 2013, San Jose Water Company filed Advice Letter No. 450 seeking authorization to increase revenues by $8,100, or approximately 3.21%, to offset increases to SCVWD groundwater production charges and treated water charges. The CPUC authorized this increase and the increase became effective on July 1, 2013.

On June 6, 2013, San Jose Water Company filed Application No. 13-06-008 with the CPUC seeking authorization to increase the Water Rate Assistance Program (“WRAP”) funding surcharge and to institute an annual surcharge adjustment mechanism. The Company’s WRAP provides a 15% discount on the total bill for low-income customers that are eligible for the program. The WRAP is funded by a flat monthly surcharge which is included on the bill of all non-WRAP customers. In recent years, participation in the program has increased significantly while the funding surcharge has remained constant, which has led to the WRAP being underfunded. San Jose Water Company therefore is seeking the CPUC’s authority to increase the funding surcharge from $0.20 to $1.15 per non-WRAP customer per month. On August 30, 2013, San Jose Water Company and the Division of Ratepayer Advocates filed a joint settlement that would adopt San Jose Water Company's proposed surcharge. The

22

proposed surcharge modification will not provide an increase in earnings for San Jose Water Company. A decision on this application is expected in the fourth quarter of 2013.

On August 27, 2010, CLWSC filed a rate case with the TCEQ. The filing contained a request for an immediate increase in revenue of 38% and a total increase of 71%. The new rates (38%) became effective on October 27, 2010. CLWSC also requested a rate base determination from the TCEQ. A rate base determination entails verification of plant to be included in rate base by TCEQ staff. Evidentiary hearings on the matters were conducted in March 2012 and in August 2012. On August 21, 2013, the TCEQ issued a decision in the case that supported a rate base of $38,000, a return on equity of 10.88%, and a 33% increase in revenue requirement. Since the rates authorized by the TCEQ are less than the interim rates, this resulted in a customer refund of approximately $982 for rate over-collections during the period of interim rates. In accordance with the TCEQ decision, the refund may be made over the same number of months that the customer paid the interim rates or 33 months. This amount has been recorded as a regulatory liability and reduction of revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

On October 3, 2013, CLWSC filed a rate case with the TCEQ. The filing contained a requested rate increase of 23.1%, or $2,400. The new rates will become effective for water service provided after December 2, 2013. Customers have 150 days from filing to protest the application. Until final approval by the TCEQ, the rate increase will be subject to adjustment or refund.

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, SJW Corp. generated cash flows from operations of approximately $47,200, compared to $57,400 for the same period in 2012. Cash flow from operations is primarily generated by net income from revenue producing activities, adjusted for non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes, gains on the sale of assets, and changes in working capital items. Cash flow from operations decreased by approximately $10,200. This decrease was caused by a combination of the following factors: (1) net collection of taxes receivable was $4,400 less than the prior period, (2) recognition of the balancing and memorandum accounts drove a decrease of $3,500, (3) collections of previously billed and accrued receivables, including the regulatory asset recorded in other current asset, decreased by $2,900, (4) general working capital and postretirement benefit changes caused a $2,700 decrease, (5) payments of amounts previously invoiced and accruals related to groundwater extraction charges and purchased water decreased by $1,100, and (6) net income adjusted for non-cash items and gains from asset activity increased $4,400.

As of September 30, 2013, Water Utility Services’ write-offs for uncollectible accounts represent less than 1% of its total revenue, unchanged from September 30, 2012. Management believes it will continue to collect its accounts receivable balances at its historical collection rate.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, SJW Corp. used approximately $59,500 of cash for company funded capital expenditures, $8,300 for developer funded capital expenditures, $4,200 for real estate investments related to the leasehold improvement additions for the property located in Knoxville, Tennessee, and $1,600 for acquisitions. Proceeds from the sale of SJW Land Company’s real estate investment in Connecticut provided cash proceeds of $8,800.

Water Utility Services’ budgeted capital expenditures for 2013, exclusive of capital expenditures financed by customer contributions and advances, are $92,500. Included in this amount is $6,000 related to reinvestment in utility plant associated with the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which extended bonus depreciation for property placed in service before January 1, 2014. As of September 30, 2013, approximately $59,500 or 64% of the $92,500 has been spent.

Water Utility Services’ capital expenditures are incurred in connection with normal upgrading and expansion of existing facilities and to comply with environmental regulations. Over the next five years, Water Utility Services expects to incur approximately $553,455 in capital expenditures, which includes replacement of pipes and mains, and maintaining water systems. This amount is subject to CPUC and TCEQ approval. In addition, San Jose Water Company requested the CPUC’s approval of upgrades to San Jose Water Company’s 40-year old Montevina Water Treatment Plant. On March 6, 2013, San Jose Water Company and the CPUC’s Division of Ratepayer Advocates submitted to the CPUC a joint settlement which, if approved, would allow the Company to move forward with upgrades to the Plant totaling $62,000 that will be spent over the next five years. On July 25, 2013, the CPUC issued Decision 13-07-028, which adopted all provisions of the joint settlement. Capital expenditures have the effect of increasing utility plant on which Water Utility Services earns a return. Water Utility Services actual capital expenditures may vary from their projections due to changes in the expected demand for services, weather patterns, actions by governmental agencies, and general economic conditions. Total additions to utility plant normally exceed Company-financed additions as a result of new facilities construction funded with advances from developers and contributions in aid of construction.

A substantial portion of San Jose Water Company’s distribution system was constructed during the period from 1945 to 1980. Expenditure levels for renewal and modernization of this part of the system will grow at an increasing rate as these components reach the end of their useful lives. In most cases, replacement cost will significantly exceed the original installation cost of the retired assets due to increases in the costs of goods and services and increased regulation.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased by approximately $28,200 from the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of issuance of common stock offset by repayments on the line of credit and long-term borrowings.

Sources of Capital:

San Jose Water Company’s ability to finance future construction programs and sustain dividend payments depends on its ability to maintain or increase internally generated funds and attract external financing. The level of future earnings and the related cash flow from operations is dependent, in large part, upon the timing and outcome of regulatory proceedings.

San Jose Water Company’s financing activity is designed to achieve a capital structure consistent with regulatory guidelines of approximately 49% debt and 51% equity. As of September 30, 2013, San Jose Water Company’s funded debt and equity were approximately 45% and 55%, respectively.

Funding for San Jose Water Company’s future capital expenditure program is expected to be provided primarily through internally-generated funds, the issuance of new long-term debt, the issuance of equity or the sale of all or part of our investment in California Water Service Group, all of which will be consistent with the regulator’s guidelines.

On March 28, 2013, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement with Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated, as the representative of several underwriters (the “Underwriters”), which provided for the issuance and sale in an underwritten public offering (the “Offering”) by the Company and the purchase by the Underwriters of 1,321,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.521 per share of the Company’s common stock. The shares in the Offering were sold at a public offering price of $26.50 per share, and were purchased by the Underwriters at a price of $25.44 per share. The Company also granted the Underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 198,150 additional shares of common stock to cover over-allotments, if any. On April 25, 2013, the Underwriters exercised the overallotment option to purchase an additional 100,000 shares of common stock.

The Offering and overallotment option closed on April 3, 2013 and April 29, 2013, respectively. The net proceeds received from the Offering and the exercise of the overallotment option was approximately $35,894, after deducting the Underwriters’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The net proceeds were used to pay down amounts outstanding as of March 31, 2013 under the Company’s bank lines of credit, as well as to fund the construction programs of our Water Utility Services operations and for other general corporate purposes.

The Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-184984) and the prospectus dated December 21, 2012 included in such registration statement, as supplemented by a preliminary prospectus supplement dated March 27, 2013 and a final prospectus supplement dated March 28, 2013.

San Jose Water Company’s loan agreement with the California Pollution Control Financing Authority contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for a loan agreement relating to revenue bonds, including, among other things, complying with certain disclosure obligations and covenants relating to the tax exempt status of the interest on the bonds and limitations and prohibitions relating to the transfer of the projects funded by the loan proceeds and the assignment of the loan agreement. As of September 30, 2013, San Jose Water Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

In addition, SJW Corp. is a guarantor of SJWTX, Inc.’s senior note which has terms and conditions that restrict SJW Corp. from issuing additional funded

24

debt if: (1) the funded consolidated debt would exceed 66-2/3% of total capitalization, and (2) the minimum net worth of SJW Corp. becomes less than $125,000 plus 30% of Water Utility Services cumulative net income, since December 31, 2005. As of September 30, 2013, SJWTX, Inc. and SJW Corp. were not restricted from issuing future indebtedness as a result of these terms and conditions.

As of September 30, 2013, SJW Corp. and its subsidiaries had unsecured bank lines of credit, allowing aggregate short-term borrowings of up to $90,000, of which $15,000 was available to SJW Corp. and SJW Land Company under a single line of credit and $75,000 was available to San Jose Water Company under another line of credit. $3,000 under the San Jose Water Company line of credit is set aside in the form of letters of credit for its Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loans. At September 30, 2013, SJW Corp. and its subsidiaries had available unused short-term bank lines of credit of $80,000. These lines of credit bear interest at variable rates. They will expire on September 1, 2014. The cost of borrowing on SJW Corp.’s short-term credit facilities averaged 1.3% as of September 30, 2013. SJW Corp., on a consolidated basis, has the following affirmative covenants on its unsecured bank line of credit: (1) the funded debt cannot exceed 66-2/3% of total capitalization, and (2) net income available for interest charges for the trailing 12-calendar-month period cannot be less than 175% of interest charges.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

SJW Corp. is subject to market risks in the normal course of business, including changes in interest rates, pension plan asset values, and equity prices. The exposure to changes in interest rates can result from the issuance of debt and short-term funds obtained through the Company’s variable rate lines of credit. San Jose Water Company sponsors a noncontributory pension plan for its employees. Pension costs and the funded status of the plan are affected by a number of factors including the discount rate and investment returns on plan assets. SJW Corp. also owned 385,120 shares of common stock of California Water Service Group as of September 30, 2013, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is therefore exposed to the risk of fluctuations and changes in equity prices.

SJW Corp. has no derivative financial instruments, financial instruments with significant off-balance sheet risks, or financial instruments with concentrations of credit risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

SJW Corp.’s management, with the participation of its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of SJW Corp.’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the “Exchange Act”), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that SJW Corp.’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by SJW Corp. in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. SJW Corp. believes that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting during the third fiscal quarter of 2013 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting of SJW Corp.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

SJW Corp. is subject to ordinary routine litigation incidental to its business. There are no pending legal proceedings to which SJW Corp. or any of its subsidiaries is a party, or to which any of its properties is the subject, that are expected to have a material effect on SJW Corp.’s business, financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

On October 30, 2013, the Board of Directors of SJW Corp. declared the regular quarterly dividend of $0.1825 per share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on December 2, 2013 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on November 12, 2013.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Accounting, Policy

The unaudited interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in SJW Corp.’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Earnings Per Share, Policy

Basic earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The two-class method in computing basic earnings per share is not used because the number of participating securities as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 260 - “Earning Per Share” is not significant. (The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security.) Diluted earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock including both shares outstanding and shares potentially issuable in connection with stock options, deferred restricted common stock awards under SJW Corp.’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Incentive Plan”) and shares potentially issuable under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”).

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

GENERAL

General

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.

The unaudited interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in SJW Corp.’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Water sales are seasonal in nature and influenced by weather conditions. The timing of precipitation and climatic conditions can cause seasonal water consumption by customers to vary significantly. Due to the seasonal nature of the water business, the operating results for interim periods are not indicative of the operating results for a 12-month period. Revenue is generally higher in the warm, dry summer months when water usage and sales are greater, and lower in the winter months when cooler temperatures and increased rainfall curtail water usage and sales.

Basic earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The two-class method in computing basic earnings per share is not used because the number of participating securities as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 260 - “Earning Per Share” is not significant. (The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security.) Diluted earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock including both shares outstanding and shares potentially issuable in connection with stock options, deferred restricted common stock awards under SJW Corp.’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Incentive Plan”) and shares potentially issuable under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 452 and 36 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, 1,597 and 1,702 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively.

A portion of depreciation expense is allocated to administrative and general expense. For the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the amounts allocated to administrative and general expense were $385 and $379, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the amounts allocated to administrative and general expense were $1,164 and $1,113, respectively.

Compensation and Retirement Disclosure [Abstract]

DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN

Defined Benefit Plan

San Jose Water Company sponsors a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan for its eligible employees. Employees hired before March 31, 2008 are entitled to receive retirement benefits using a formula based on the employee’s three highest years of compensation (whether or not consecutive). For employees hired on or after March 31, 2008, benefits are determined using a cash balance formula based upon compensation credits and interest credits for each employee. Officers hired before March 31, 2008 are eligible to receive additional retirement benefits under the Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan, and officers hired on or after March 31, 2008 are eligible to receive retirement benefits under the Cash Balance Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan. Both of the plans are non-qualified plans in which only officers and other designated members of management may participate. The Company also provides health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees under the San Jose Water Company Social Welfare Plan. The components of net periodic benefit costs for San Jose Water Company’s pension plan, its Executive Supplemental Retirement Plan and Social Welfare Plan for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

Balancing and Memorandum Account Recovery Procedures [Abstract]

BALANCING AND MEMORANDUM ACCOUNT RECOVERY PROCEDURES

Balancing and Memorandum Account Recovery Procedures

Balancing and memorandum accounts are recognized in revenue by San Jose Water Company when it is probable that future recovery of previously incurred costs or future refunds that are to be credited to customers will occur through the ratemaking process. In assessing the probability criteria for balancing and memorandum accounts between rate cases, the Company considers evidence that may exist prior to California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) authorization that would satisfy regulated revenue recognition criteria. Such evidence may include regulatory rules and decisions, past practices, and other facts and circumstances that would indicate that recovery or refund is estimable and probable. When such evidence provides sufficient support for balance recognition, the balances are recorded in the Company’s financial statements.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total balance in San Jose Water Company’s balancing accounts, including interest, was a net under-collection of $7,430 and $6,314, respectively. In the general rate case application filed January 3, 2012, San Jose Water Company requested authorization to recover $2,599 of this balance, which represented balances accumulated through December 31, 2010, plus interest. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the total balance in San Jose Water Company’s memorandum-type accounts, including interest, was a net over-collection of $1,437 and $1,486, respectively. In the general rate case application filed January 3, 2012, San Jose Water Company requested authorization to refund $650, which represented a portion of the net over-collection accumulated through September 30, 2011, including interest. As of September 30, 2013, the total balance in San Jose Water Company’s balancing and memorandum accounts combined, including interest, was a net under-collection of $5,993.

The Company met the recognition requirements for certain of its balancing and memorandum accounts and certain amounts subject to balancing and memorandum accounts and recorded revenue and regulatory assets totaling $1,761 and $5,320 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and decreased revenue and regulatory assets $584 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012. All balancing accounts and memorandum-type accounts not included for recovery or refund in the current general rate case will be reviewed by the CPUC in San Jose Water Company’s next general rate case or at the time an individual account reaches a threshold of 2% of authorized revenue, whichever occurs first.

On August 27, 2010, SJWTX, Inc. filed a rate case with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”). The filing contained a request for an immediate increase in revenue of 38% and a total increase of 71%. The new rates (38%) became effective on October 27, 2010. On August 21, 2013, the TCEQ issued a decision in SJWTX, Inc.'s rate case that supports a 33% increase in revenue requirement. Since the rates authorized by the TCEQ are less than the interim rates, this resulted in a customer refund of approximately $982 for rate over-collections during the period of interim rates. This amount has been recorded as a regulatory liability and reduction of revenue totaling $36 and $982 during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively.

Regulatory Rate Filings

On January 3, 2012, San Jose Water Company filed a general rate case application requesting rate increases of $47,394, or 21.51% in 2013, $12,963, or 4.87% in 2014, and $34,797, or 12.59% in 2015. This general rate case filing also included several “special requests”, including but not limited to: (1) recovery of under-collected balancing account balances of $2,599, (2) disbursement of over-collected memorandum account balances of $650 and (3) implementation of a full revenue decoupling Water Revenue Adjustment Mechanism (“WRAM”) and associated Modified Cost Balancing Account (“MCBA”). On September 26, 2012, San Jose Water Company filed a motion for interim rate relief so that if a decision was not reached by the end of 2012, San Jose Water Company would be allowed to adopt interim rates, effective January 1, 2013, until a decision is adopted. To date a decision has not been adopted and interim rates are currently in effect. Interim rates were set equal to fiscal year-end 2012 rates. Differences between interim rates and approved rates are tracked in a memorandum account and will be submitted for recovery or refund.

On August 27, 2010, CLWSC filed a rate case with the TCEQ. The filing contained a request for an immediate increase in revenue of 38% and a total increase of 71%. The new rates (38%) became effective on October 27, 2010. CLWSC also requested a rate base determination from the TCEQ. On August 21, 2013, the TCEQ issued a decision in the case that supported a rate base of $38,000, a return on equity of 10.88%, and a 33% increase in revenue requirement. Since the rates authorized by the TCEQ are less than the interim rates, this resulted in a customer refund of approximately $982 for rate over-collections during the period of interim rates.

On October 3, 2013, CLWSC filed a rate case with the TCEQ. The filing contained a requested rate increase of 23.1%, or $2,400. The new rates will become effective for water service provided after December 2, 2013. Customers have 150 days from filing to protest the application. Until final approval by the TCEQ, the rate increase will be subject to adjustment or refund.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

Fair Value Measurement

The following instruments are not measured at fair value on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2013, but require disclosure of their fair values: cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable. The estimated fair value of such instruments as of September 30, 2013 approximates their carrying value as reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of such financial instruments are determined using the income approach based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. There have been no changes in our valuation technique during the three months ended September 30, 2013. The fair value of these instruments would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, with the exception of cash and cash equivalents, which would be categorized as Level 1. The fair value of pension plan assets is discussed in Note 4.

The fair value of SJW Corp.’s long-term debt was approximately $395,866 and $455,042 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, and was determined using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on the current rates for similar financial instruments of the same duration and creditworthiness of the Company. The book value of the long-term debt was $335,732 and $340,990 as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of long-term debt would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

SJW Corp. accounts for share-based compensation based on the grant date fair value of the awards issued to employees in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 - “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on the estimated fair value for all share-based payment awards.

The Incentive Plan allows SJW Corp. to provide employees, non-employee board members or the board of directors of any parent or subsidiary, consultants, and other independent advisors who provide services to the company or any parent or subsidiary the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in SJW Corp. The types of awards included in the Incentive Plan are restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares, or other share-based awards.
