Item 5. Other Events.

 

On June 23, 2004, Matrix Service Company (the “Registrant”) issued a Press Release, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, that announced that its fourth quarter results for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2004 were negatively affected by cost overruns on two projects. Primarily as a result of these cost overruns, Matrix has reduced its earnings expectation for the fourth quarter to a range of $0.00 to $0.10 per fully diluted share and for the 2004 fiscal year to a range of $0.52 to $0.62 per fully diluted share. In addition, Matrix announced projected fully diluted earnings per share for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2005 to be in the range of $0.70 to $0.80.

 

In connection with the second project mentioned, Matrix has initiated a lawsuit in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Mercer County, against the former general contractor of the project as an early step in the dispute resolution process and in an attempt to preserve its lien position. The lawsuit is in its early stages and no discovery has occurred to date. Matrix believes it is adequately reserved for any potential loss related to the dispute and will continue to assess the adequacy of the reserve as additional information becomes available.
