ITEM 1. BUSINESS
General EMCOR Group, Inc. ("EMCOR" or the "Company") (formerly known as "JWP INC.") is a leader in mechanical and electrical construction and facilities services. EMCOR, which conducts its business through subsidiaries, specializes in the design, integration, installation, start-up, testing, operation and maintenance of complex mechanical and electrical systems. In addition, certain of its subsidiaries operate and maintain mechanical and/or electrical systems for customers under contracts and provide other services commonly referred to as facilities services, including the management of facilities and the provision of support services at the customers facilities. Mechanical and electrical construction and facilities services are provided to a broad range of commercial, industrial and institutional customers through offices located in major markets throughout the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Middle East and Hong Kong.
On December 15, 1994 (the "Effective Date"), the Company emerged from Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code pursuant to its Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization dated August 9, 1994, as amended (the "Plan of Reorganization"), proposed by EMCOR and its subsidiary SellCo Corporation ("SellCo").
The Company, which employs approximately 12,000 people worldwide, provides (i) mechanical and electrical construction services directly to end-users (including corporations, municipalities and other governmental entities, owners, developers and tenants of buildings) and, indirectly, by acting as subcontractor to construction managers, general contractors, systems and equipment suppliers and other subcontractors and (ii) facilities services directly to end-users such as corporations, owners, property managers and tenants of buildings.
EMCOR is a Delaware corporation, formed in 1987 to continue the business of its predecessor, a New York corporation with the name JWP INC. The Delaware corporation was also originally named JWP INC. but changed its name to EMCOR Group, Inc. on the Effective Date. The Company's executive offices are located at 101 Merritt Seven Corporate Park, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851-1060, and its telephone number at those offices is (203) 849-7800.
The Business. The Company specializes in complex mechanical and electrical systems. The broad scope of the Company's operations are more particularly described below. The Company had total revenues of approximately $1,669.3 million and $1,588.7 million in 1996 and 1995, respectively.
Mechanical and electrical construction services primarily involve the design, integration, installation, start-up, testing, operation and maintenance of (i) distribution systems for electrical power (including power cables, conduits, distribution panels, transformers, generators, uninterruptible power supply systems and related switch gear and controls); (ii) lighting systems, including fixtures and controls; (iii) low-voltage systems, including fire alarm, security, communications and process control systems; (iv) heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and clean-room process ventilation systems; and (v) plumbing, process and high purity piping systems. EMCOR believes its mechanical and electrical construction services business is the largest of its kind in the United States and Canada and one of the largest in the United Kingdom.
Mechanical and electrical construction services are principally of three types: (i) large installation projects, with contracts generally in the multi-million dollar range, in connection with construction of industrial, institutional and public works facilities and commercial buildings and fit-out of large blocks of space within commercial buildings; (ii) smaller installation projects typically involving fit-out, renovation and retrofit work; and (iii) testing and service of completed facilities.
The Company's largest installation projects include those (i) for institutional use (such as water and wastewater treatment facilities, hospitals, correctional facilities, schools and research laboratories); (ii) for industrial use (such as pharmaceutical, semiconductor, steel, pulp and paper, chemical, and automotive manufacturing plants and oil refining and water and waste treatment facilities); (iii) for transportation systems (such as airports and transit systems); and (iv) for commercial use (such as office buildings, hotels and casinos, convention centers, shopping malls and resorts). These can be multi-year projects ranging in size up to, and occasionally in excess of, $50.0 million.
Major projects are performed pursuant to contracts with owners, such as corporations and municipalities and other governmental entities, general contractors, construction managers, owners, developers and tenants of commercial properties. Institutional and public works projects are frequently long-term, complex projects requiring significant technical and management skills and financial strength to, among other things, obtain bid and performance bonds, which are often a condition to bidding for, and award of, contracts for such projects.
Smaller projects, which are typically completed in less than a year, involve mechanical and electrical construction services in connection with the fit-out of space when an end-user or owner undertakes construction or modification of a facility to accommodate a specific use, such as a trading floor in a financial services business, a new production line in a manufacturing plant, a process modification in a refinery, or an office arrangement in an existing office building. These projects frequently require particular mechanical and electrical systems to meet special needs such as redundant power supply systems, special environmental controls, or high purity air systems. These projects are not typically dependent upon the new construction market; their demand is often prompted by the expiration of leases, changes in technology or changes in the customer's plant or office layout in the normal course of business.
The Company also installs and maintains street, highway, bridge and tunnel lighting, traffic signals, computerized traffic control systems and signal and communication systems for mass transit systems in several metropolitan areas. In addition, in the United States, the Company operates sheet metal fabrication facilities which manufacture and install sheet metal systems for both its own mechanical construction operations and for unrelated mechanical contractors. The Company also maintains welding and pipe fabrication shops for its own mechanical operations.
In addition to mechanical and electrical construction services, the Company provides facilities services which principally includes the testing, operation, maintenance and service of mechanical and electrical installations of customers under contracts ranging from one to several years, which vary widely in scope. These services frequently require a number of the Company's employees being permanently assigned to, and located at, the customer's building or facility being serviced, occasionally on a 24 hour basis. In the United Kingdom, the Company also provides a broad range of services, including building maintenance, housekeeping, reprographics and catering services to customers, in addition to operation and maintenance of mechanical and electrical systems. The Company is currently in the process of expanding its mechanical and electrical services business to include increased facilities services in the North American market. The facilities services business continues to grow as customers seek to "outsource" services not specifically related to the core services or the products its customers offer for sale. In addition, increases in privatization of government functions, particularly in the United Kingdom, has afforded private enterprise the opportunity to operate, maintain, and often modernize and expand government facilities.
Backlog. The Company had a backlog as of December 31, 1996 of approximately $1,043.7 million, compared with a backlog of approximately $1,060.7 million as of December 31, 1995.
Employees. The Company presently employs approximately 12,000 people, approximately 75% of whom are represented by various unions. The Company believes that its employee relations are generally satisfactory.
Competition. The business in which the Company engages is extremely competitive. A majority of the Company's revenues are derived from jobs requiring competitive bids; however, an invitation to bid is often conditioned upon prior experience, technical capability and financial strength. The Company competes with national, regional and local companies. The Company believes that, at present, it is the largest provider of mechanical and electrical construction and facilities services in the United States and Canada and one of the largest in the United Kingdom.
Segment information relating to the geographic areas in which the Company operates is included in Note P to the consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Dynalectric Company ("Dynalectric"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is a defendant in an action entitled Computran v. Dynalectric, et al., pending in Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen County, arising out of its participation in a joint venture. In the action, which was instituted in 1988, the plaintiff, Computran, a participant in, and a subcontractor to the joint venture, alleges that Dynalectric wrongfully terminated its subcontract, fraudulently diverted funds due it, misappropriated its trade secrets and proprietary information, fraudulently induced it to enter into the joint venture and conspired with other defendants to commit certain acts in violation of the New Jersey Racketeering Influence and Corrupt Organization Act. Dynalectric believes that Computran's claims are without merit and intends to defend this matter vigorously. Dynalectric has filed counterclaims against Computran. Discovery is ongoing and no trial date has been scheduled.
In February 1995 as part of an investigation by the New York County District Attorney's office into the business affairs of Herbert Construction Company ("Herbert"), a general contractor that does business with the Company's subsidiary, Forest Electric Corporation ("Forest"), a search warrant was executed at Forest's executive offices. At that time, the Company was informed that Forest and certain of its officers are targets of the continuing investigation. Neither the Company nor Forest has been advised of the precise nature of any suspected violation of law by Forest or its officers. On July 11, 1995, Ted Kohl, a principal of Herbert, and DPL Interiors, Inc., a company allegedly owned by Mr. Kohl were indicted by a New York County grand jury for grand larceny, fraud, repeated failure to file New York City Corporate Tax Returns and related money laundering charges. Mr. Kohl was also charged with filing false personal income and earnings tax returns, perjury and offering false instruments for filing with the New York City School Construction Authority. In a press release announcing the indictment, the Manhattan District Attorney said that the investigation disclosed that Mr. Kohl allegedly received more than $7.0 million in kickbacks from subcontractors through a scheme in which he allegedly inflated subcontracts on Herbert's construction contracts. At a July 11, 1995 press conference following the indictment, the District Attorney announced that the investigation was continuing and that he expected further indictments in the investigation.
Forest performs electrical contracting services primarily in the New York City commercial market and is one of EMCOR's largest subsidiaries.
In addition to the above, the Company is involved in other legal proceedings and claims asserted by and against the Company, which have arisen in the ordinary course of business.
The Company believes it has a number of valid defenses to these actions and the Company intends to vigorously defend or assert these claims and does not believe that a significant liability will result. However, the Company cannot predict the outcome thereof or the impact that an adverse result of the matters discussed above will have upon the Company's financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 7.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
JWP INC. emerged from Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on December 15, 1994 (the "Effective Date") and changed its name to EMCOR Group, Inc. ("EMCOR" or the "Company"). The Company reorganized pursuant to its Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization dated August 9, 1994, as amended (the "Plan of Reorganization"), and proposed by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary SellCo Corporation ("SellCo").
In connection with the Plan of Reorganization, the Company adopted the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 90-7, "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7"). The Company has accounted for its reorganization by using the principles of Fresh-Start Accounting as required by SOP 90-7. For accounting purposes, the Company assumed that the Plan of Reorganization was consummated on December 31, 1994. Under the principles of Fresh-Start Accounting, the Company's total net assets were recorded at their assumed reorganization value, with the reorganization value allocated to identifiable assets on the basis of their estimated fair value. The primary valuation methodology employed by the Company, with the assistance of its financial advisors to determine the reorganization value of the Company, was a net present value approach. The valuation was based on the Company's forecasts of unleveraged, after-tax cash flows calculated for each year over the four-year period from 1994 to 1997, capitalizing projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization at multiples ranging from 3 to 10, selected to value earnings and cash flows beyond 1997, and discounting the resulting amounts to present value at rates ranging from 10% to 30% selected to approximate the Company's projected weighted average cost of capital. The excess of reorganization value over the value of identifiable assets of $5.0 million was included in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1995 in Other Assets as "Miscellaneous" and was being amortized over 15 years. In accordance with SOP 90-7, the Company's reduction of its deferred tax valuation allowance during 1996 related to its federal and foreign income tax provision was first allocated to reduce reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets to zero and then allocated to capital surplus.
As a result of the implementation of Fresh-Start Accounting, the consolidated financial statements of the Company for periods subsequent to consummation of the Plan of Reorganization are not comparable to the Company's consolidated financial statements for prior periods. Accordingly, a black line has been used to separate the consolidated financial statements of the Company after the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization from those of the Company prior to the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization. The operating results of businesses held for sale have been excluded from the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995 since the operations of these businesses accrued to the benefit of the holders of the notes issued by the Company's subsidiary SellCo, and prior to their payment in full during 1996, the Company's Series A Notes, and certain other obligations (See Notes F and G to the consolidated financial statements). Operating results of businesses held for sale substantially offset interest accrued on the Company's Series A Notes which interest was recognized within the caption "Net assets held for sale" in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1995.
Results of Operations: Year Ended December 31, 1996 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 1995
Revenues for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $1,669.3 million and $1,588.7 million, respectively. Net income for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $9.4 million or $0.95 per share compared to a net loss of $10.9 million or $1.13 per share for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Income from continuing operations before reorganization items, income taxes, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of accounting change was $17.0 million and a loss of $9.9 million for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. 1996 income includes a gain of $12.5 million ($8.1 million after-tax) on the sale of certain assets held for sale, including the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company's principal water supply subsidiary Jamaica Water Supply Company ("JWS"). JWS and the Company's other water supply subsidiary, Sea Cliff Water Company ("Sea Cliff"), are referred to hereafter as the "Water Companies". The 1995 loss includes a third quarter loss of $0.9 million associated with the disposition of a subsidiary engaged principally in the installation of industrial boilers.
The Company generated operating income of $17.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 compared with operating income of $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. The improvement in operating income for 1996 was principally attributable to continued improvement in gross profit due to cost control efforts and improved job performance offset partially by an increase in selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 1996 related to an adverse arbitration award requiring the Company to pay $4.8 million in damages in connection with a contract dispute involving its subsidiary Pace Mechanical Services, Inc. (formerly known as T.L. Cholette, Inc.). In October 1996, the Company settled the arbitration award for approximately $4.3 million. Net interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $12.6 million compared to $14.8 million in the year earlier period.
Mechanical and Electrical Construction Services and Facilities Services
Revenues of the mechanical and electrical construction and facilities services business units for the year ended December 31, 1996 were $1,669.3 million compared to $1,588.7 million for the year ended December 31, 1995. Operating income of these business units for the year ended December 31, 1996 was $17.1 million compared to operating income of $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1996 increased by approximately 5.1% when compared with the year earlier period. While revenues of business units operating in the Western United States increased due to improved economic conditions, these increases were substantially offset by decreased revenues (a) in the Northeastern United States resulting from, among other things, adverse weather conditions in the first quarter of 1996 and increased competition, and (b) in the Midwestern United States due to reduced construction activity as compared with 1995 and the Company's earlier downsizing of its Midwestern operations and (c) in the United Kingdom due to decreased activity in the commercial construction market.
Selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 were $143.7 million and $137.3 million, respectively. The increase was primarily attributable to increased operating volume and the $4.3 million adverse arbitration result discussed above.
At December 31, 1996, the mechanical and electrical construction and facilities services business backlog was approximately $1,043.7 million compared to approximately $1,060.7 million at December 31, 1995. The Company's backlog in the United States increased by $56.7 million between December 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, whereas its backlog in Canada and the United Kingdom decreased by $15.0 million and $58.7 million, respectively, during that same period. The decline in Canadian backlog is attributable to the shift in emphasis from multi-period commercial work to industrial work including both modifications to existing facilities and new facilities, as well as completion of certain large projects. The industrial work is characterized by shorter schedules, frequently less than one year, than commercial work. The United Kingdom decline is attributable to continued progress toward completion of several large projects and the continued weakness in the United Kingdom commercial construction market.
Results Of Operations: Year Ended December 31, 1995 Compared To Year Ended December 31, 1994
Revenues for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $1,588.7 million and $1,595.0 million, respectively, exclusive of $169.0 million attributable to businesses held for sale or sold in 1994. Net loss for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $10.9 million or $1.13 per share compared to net income of $302.4 million or $32.09 per share for the year ended 1994. Net income for 1994 includes an extraordinary item for the gain on debt discharge of $413.2 million as well as a charge for the required adoption of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Post-employment Benefits" ("SFAS 112"), of $2.1 million. In addition, net income for 1994 includes charges for reorganization items totaling $91.3 million consisting of professional fees of $12.5 million and fresh-start adjustments of $78.8 million to record the Company's assets and liabilities at fair value in accordance with the adoption of Fresh-Start Accounting as prescribed by SOP 90-7. Net income for the year ended December 31, 1994 includes income from discontinued operations of $10.2 million as well as a loss of $13.7 million attributable to other businesses held for sale or sold.
Loss from continuing operations before reorganization items, income taxes, extraordinary items and cumulative effect of accounting change was $9.9 million and $27.9 million for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. The 1995 loss includes $14.8 million of net interest expense associated with borrowings outstanding during 1995 under the Company's Old Credit Agreements (hereafter defined) compared to $2.5 million in 1994 which amount excluded interest on debt in default which the Company ceased accruing in December 1993. In addition the 1995 loss includes a third quarter loss of $0.9 million associated with the
disposition of a subsidiary engaged principally in the installation of industrial boilers. The 1994 loss reflects, among other things: a gain of $1.9 million from the settlement of a construction claim; a net gain of $1.2 million on the sale of certain businesses; a loss of $13.7 million attributable to other businesses held for sale or sold; a loss of $4.5 million due to the write-down of an investment; a loss of $10.8 million attributable to job write-downs and provisions for loss contingencies on certain industrial and municipal projects; a loss of $1.4 million for lender fees associated with the Company's working capital and debtor-in-possession credit facilities; and a loss of $0.6 million for severance of certain employees. The losses associated with job write-downs in 1994 were primarily attributable to adverse weather conditions, inadequate estimating of job costs and labor problems.
The Company generated operating income of $5.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1995 compared with an operating loss of $22.2 million for the year ended December 31, 1994, inclusive of $13.7 million of operating losses attributable to businesses held for sale or sold. The increase in operating income is attributable to: a $41.3 million reduction in SG&A expenses, inclusive of $30.6 million of SG&A expenses attributable to businesses held for sale or sold, as a result of the implementation of the Company's cost reduction plans; an increase in gross profit of $3.7 million and as a percentage of revenues, which is attributable to successful completion and close out of lower margin contracts undertaken before the Company emerged from its Chapter 11 proceeding as well as higher profitability of post-emergence contracts completed or currently in process, exclusive of $16.9 million of gross profit attributable to businesses held for sale or sold in 1994. Professional fees associated with the Chapter 11 proceeding are classified as "Reorganization Items" in the 1994 Consolidated Statement of Operations. Net interest expense for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $14.8 million compared to $2.5 million in the year earlier period. The Company ceased accruing interest on debt in default in December 1993 upon the filing of an involuntary bankruptcy petition against the Company. Accordingly, no interest expense on debt in default is included in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1994.
Mechanical and Electrical Construction Services and Facilities Services
Revenues of the mechanical and electrical construction and facilities services business units for the year ended December 31, 1995 were $1,588.7 million compared to $1,595.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1994, exclusive of $169.0 million attributable to businesses held for sale or sold. Operating income of these business units (before deduction of general corporate and other expenses discussed below) for the year ended December 31, 1995 was $21.6 million compared to an operating loss of $6.4 million, inclusive of $13.7 of operating losses attributable to businesses held for sale or sold, for the year ended December 31, 1994. In connection with the Company's restructuring plan adopted in connection with its Plan of Reorganization, certain mechanical and electrical business units have been sold or identified for sale. The operating results of these units are excluded from operating results for the year ended December 31, 1995.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 1995 relating to business units which the Company retained remained substantially unchanged compared with the year earlier period. While 1995 revenues of business units operating in the Eastern United States and Central United Kingdom increased due to improved economic conditions, this increase was offset by decreased revenues in the Midwestern and Western regions of the United States, Canada and Northern and Southern parts of the United Kingdom due to, among other things, continuing poor market conditions and downsizing.
Selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding general corporate and other expenses, for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $121.6 million and $162.8 million, respectively. The 1994 SG&A expenses include $132.3 million attributable to the continuing electrical and mechanical construction and facilities services operations. The decrease in SG&A expenses was attributable to cost cutting and downsizing.
At December 31, 1995, the mechanical and electrical construction and facilities services business backlog was approximately $1,060.7 million compared to approximately $1,046.4 million at December 31, 1994, exclusive of businesses sold or held for sale. The Company's backlog in the United States increased by $43.1 million between December 31, 1994 and December 31, 1995, whereas its backlog in Canada and the United Kingdom decreased by $18.3 million and $10.5 million, respectively, during that same period. The decline in Canadian backlog was principally attributable to the downsizing of the Canadian operations, while the United Kingdom decline was attributable to poor market conditions.
General Corporate And Other Expenses
General corporate expenses for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 were $15.7 million and $28.3 million, respectively, inclusive of $12.5 million of legal and other professional fees incurred in connection with the Company's reorganization in 1994. The higher amount of general corporate expenses, exclusive of legal, consulting and other professional fees in 1994, was attributable to debt issuance costs related to the Company's debtor-in-possession credit facility ("DIP Loan"), severance paid to terminated employees and insurance costs.
Net Assets Held for Sale
The operating results of businesses held for sale, which included the Company's water supply business classified as discontinued operations prior to the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization, have been excluded from the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 1995 since the operation of these businesses accrued to the benefit of the holders of notes issued by SellCo, and prior to their payment in full during 1996, the Company's Series A Notes, and certain other obligations. (See Notes F and G to the consolidated financial statements). Businesses held for sale are recorded in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at the lower of cost or estimated net realizable value and are classified as current based on their estimated disposition dates.
Liquidity And Capital Resources:
The Company's consolidated cash balance decreased by $2.3 million from $53.0 million at December 31, 1995 to $50.7 million at December 31, 1996. The Company generated positive operating cash flow of $33.1 million for the year ended December 31, 1996 which was used primarily to repay borrowings under the Company's working capital credit lines and to fund capital expenditures resulting in the consolidated cash balance decrease. The December 31, 1996 cash balance includes approximately $4.5 million in foreign subsidiaries' bank accounts which accounts are available only to support their respective operations.
On June 19, 1996, the Company and its subsidiary Dyn Specialty Contracting Inc. ("Dyn") entered into a credit agreement with Harris Trust and Savings Bank ("Harris") providing the Company with up to a $100.0 million revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") for a three year period. The New Credit Facility, which is guaranteed by certain direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries of the Company and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and those subsidiaries, initially provided for up to $50.0 million in borrowing capacity available in the form of revolving loans ("Revolving Loans") and/or letters of credit ("LCs" or "LC"). As subsequently amended, the New Credit Facility currently provides for up to $72.5 million in borrowing capacity. The remaining $27.5 million in borrowing capacity is subject to: receipt of additional commitments from other banks; consents of bonding companies providing surety bonds to the Company's Canadian and United Kingdom subsidiaries; and the guarantee by these subsidiaries of the facility and the collateralization of the guarantees with liens upon their assets. The Revolving Loans bear interest at a variable rate, which is Harris' prime rate (8.25% at December 31, 1996) plus 1.0% - 2.0% based on certain financial tests. The interest rate on the Revolving Loans was 9.25% at December 31, 1996. LC fees ranging from 1.50% to 3.25% are charged based on the type of LC issued. The New Credit Facility expires on June 19, 1999. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $29.1 million of LCs outstanding under the New Credit Facility. In addition, there were $14.2 million of Revolving Loans outstanding as of December 31, 1996.
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Company and SellCo issued, or reserved for issuance, four series of notes (the "New Notes") and 9,424,083 shares of stock of the Company's Common Stock (constituting 100% of the issued or issuable shares as of the Effective Date) to pre-petition creditors of the Company, other than holders of the Company's pre-petition subordinated debt, in settlement of their pre-petition claims and to Belmont Capital Partners II, L.P. ("Belmont"), which provided a debtor-in-possession credit facility ("DIP Loan"), in payment of additional interest under the terms of the DIP Loan. The entire $11.9 million principal amount of Series B Notes, a series of the New Notes, and approximately $4.1 million principal amount of Series A Notes, a series of the New Notes, were redeemed on the Effective Date with the net cash proceeds derived from the sale of certain of the Company's subsidiaries, the stock of which would have been pledged as part of the collateral securing the Series B Notes had such subsidiaries not been sold (and an additional $600,000 of such proceeds were reserved for prepayment of certain of the Series A Notes which have been reserved for issuance in respect of disputed and unliquidated claims). The Series A Notes were paid in full with proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Water Companies. Holders of SellCo Notes, a series of the New Notes, will only be paid from and to the extent of any remaining net cash proceeds (as defined) from the sale of SellCo's subsidiaries and the proceeds of a $5.5
million promissory note issued by the Company to SellCo pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization (the "EMCOR Supplemental SellCo Note"). Interest on the EMCOR Supplemental SellCo Note is payable at maturity.
On December 14, 1994, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into two credit agreements (the "Old Credit Agreements") with Belmont and other lenders providing the Company and certain of its subsidiaries with working capital facilities of up to an aggregate of $45.0 million which became available upon the Effective Date. The MES Credit Agreement, one of the Old Credit Agreements, was among the Company, its subsidiary MES Holdings Corporation ("MES"), substantially all of the U.S. subsidiaries of MES, as guarantors, and the lenders and provided the Company and MES with loans in an aggregate amount of up to $35.0 million. The Dyn Credit Agreement, the other Old Credit Agreement, was among the Company, Dyn, Dyn's subsidiaries, as guarantors, and the lenders and provided Dyn with loans in an aggregate amount of up to $10.0 million. The loans bore interest on the principal amount thereof at the rate of 15% per annum.
The proceeds of the MES loans under the MES Credit Agreement were used to repay amounts outstanding under the DIP Loan and pay fees and expenses in connection with the MES Credit Agreement and the Plan of Reorganization and the balance was used for the general working capital of MES, the MES subsidiaries and the Company. The proceeds of the Dyn Credit Agreement were used to pay fees and expenses in connection with the Dyn Credit Agreement and was used for the general working capital of Dyn and the Dyn subsidiaries.
Borrowings outstanding under the Old Credit Agreements were repaid in part on June 12, 1996 from proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Water Companies and the balance was repaid on June 20, 1996 from borrowings under the New Credit Facility at which time these credit agreements were terminated.
In December 1996, the Company's Canadian subsidiary Comstock Canada Ltd., renewed a credit agreement with a bank providing for an overdraft facility of up to Cdn. $2.0 million. The facility is secured by certain assets of Comstock Canada Ltd. and deposit instruments of another Canadian subsidiary of the Company. The facility provides for interest at the bank's prime rate (4.75% at December 31, 1996) plus 3/4% and expires on June 30, 1997. There were no borrowings outstanding under this credit agreement at December 31, 1996. The Company is seeking to include its Canadian subsidiary under the New Credit Facility.
In September 1995, a number of the Company's United Kingdom subsidiaries renegotiated and renewed a demand credit facility with a U.K. bank for a credit line of (pound)17.1 million (approximately U.S. $26.8 million). The credit facility consisted of the following components with individual credit limits as follows: an overdraft line of up to (pound)9.0 million (approximately U.S. $14.1 million) which overdraft line was subsequently reduced to (pound)7.0 million (approximately U.S. $11.0 million); a facility for the issuance of guarantees, bond and indemnities of up to (pound)7.3 million (approximately U.S. $11.4 million); and other credit facilities of up to (pound)0.8 million (approximately U.S. $1.3 million). The facility was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company's principal U.K. subsidiaries. The overdraft facility provided for interest at the bank's base rate, as defined (6.5% as of December 31, 1995), plus 3.0% on the first (pound)5.0 million of borrowings and at the bank's base rate plus 4.0% for borrowings over (pound)5.0 million. During the third quarter of 1996, the Company obtained an (pound)7.4 million LC under the New Credit Facility for use as collateral for bonds issued under the U.K. facility thereby releasing funds previously deposited as collateral for those bonds. On October 1, 1996, the Company's United Kingdom subsidiaries replaced the U.K. facility with Revolving Loans under the New Credit Facility.
As reported in the Company's Report on Form 8-K, dated February 29, 1996, an aggregate majority of principal amount of the outstanding Series A Notes and an aggregate majority of principal amount of the outstanding Series C Notes consented to amendments to the Series A Indenture and Series C Indenture under which the Series A Notes and the Series C Notes, respectively, were issued. The amendments (i) reduced the ratio required to be maintained by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries under a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (the "Ratio"), as defined, contained in each of the Indentures and (ii) provided for the exclusion from the Ratio calculation certain non-cash interest payments payable by the issuance of additional Series A Notes and Series C Notes. The Series A Notes have been paid in their entirety.
The Company has no significant plans or commitments for capital expenditures outside of those required for normal operations. Such expenditures are anticipated to be funded by cash generated through continuing operations.
The Company believes that projected cash flows from operations combined with the available funds under the New Credit Facility will provide sufficient liquidity to meet the Company's operating, capital and scheduled debt service requirements through at least 1997 based on the terms of the Company's existing indentures and loan agreements, including interest and amortization terms.
Certain Insurance Matters
During the second quarter of 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with one of its insurers to reinsure the Company's obligations to bear certain losses incurred for insurance plan years from October 1, 1992 to September 30, 1995. Under this agreement, amounts previously deposited by the Company with one of the Company's insurers as collateral to fund certain losses under the deductible portion of the Company's insurance program were returned to the Company and used to fund the cost of that agreement and to pay down, in July 1996, approximately $10.1 million of indebtedness under the New Credit Facility. As of December 31, 1996, the Company was utilizing $16.4 million of letters of credit obtained under the New Credit Facility as collateral for its current insurance obligations, and therefore presently is not required to deposit cash for such obligations.

EMCOR Group, Inc. And Subsidiaries
Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE A BASIS OF PRESENTATION
JWP INC. emerged from Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code on December 15, 1994 (the "Effective Date") and changed its name to EMCOR Group, Inc. ("EMCOR" or the "Company"). The Company reorganized pursuant to its Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan of Reorganization") dated August 9, 1994, as amended and proposed by the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary SellCo Corporation ("SellCo"). Under the Plan of Reorganization, the old common stock of the Company was extinguished and newly issued shares of Common Stock were issued to creditors.
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, on the Effective Date EMCOR issued or reserved for issuance to pre-petition creditors of EMCOR (other than holders of EMCOR's subordinated debentures and notes) in exchange for approximately $525.7 million of EMCOR senior bank and institutional indebtedness and substantially all other general unsecured claims, both allowed and disputed, against the Company, and to Belmont Capital Partners II, L.P. ("Belmont"), which provided a debtor-in-possession credit facility ("DIP Loan") to the Company during its Chapter 11 proceeding, the following securities: (i) 9,424,083 shares of Common Stock of the Company (constituting 100% of the issued or issuable shares as of the Effective Date); (ii) approximately $62.2 million principal amount of 7% Senior Secured Notes, Series A, due 1997 of the Company ("Series A Notes") issued on the Effective Date and up to a maximum of $8.8 million additional principal amount of Series A Notes which were reserved for issuance to holders of general unsecured claims and to Belmont upon resolution of disputed and unliquidated pre-petition general unsecured claims (assuming such claims are ultimately allowed in full); (iii) approximately $11.9 million principal amount of 7% Senior Secured Notes, Series B, due 1997 ("Series B Notes"); (iv) approximately $62.8 million principal amount of 11% Notes, Series C, due 2001, of the Company ("Series C Notes"); and (v) approximately $48.1 million principal amount of 12% Subordinated Contingent Payment Notes, due 2004, of SellCo (the "SellCo Notes"). The entire $11.9 million principal amount of Series B Notes and approximately $4.1 million principal amount of the Series A Notes issued on the Effective Date were immediately redeemed on that date at their face amount in accordance with their terms from the proceeds realized from the sale and liquidation of certain subsidiaries, the stock of which would have been pledged as part of the collateral securing the Series B Notes had such subsidiaries not been sold (and an additional $600,000 of such proceeds was reserved for redemption of certain of the Series A Notes reserved for disputed and unliquidated claims). The Company recorded the Series A Notes based upon an assumed total of $100.0 million of pre-petition general unsecured claims after settlement of disputed and unliquidated pre-petition general unsecured claims.
From February 14, 1994 to the Effective Date, the Company was a debtor-in-possession under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The accompanying 1994 consolidated financial statements were prepared on the basis of the principles prescribed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' Statement of Position 90-7 "Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code" ("SOP 90-7"). As of December 21, 1993, and through the Effective Date, the Company ceased to accrue interest on its debt in default.
As of December 31, 1994, in accordance with SOP 90-7, the Company adopted Fresh-Start Accounting. As a result of the implementation of Fresh-Start Accounting, the consolidated financial statements of the Company for periods subsequent to consummation of the Plan of Reorganization are not comparable to the Company's consolidated financial statements for prior periods. Accordingly, a black line has been used to separate the consolidated financial statements of the Company after the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization from those of the Company prior to the consummation of the Plan of Reorganization. The operating results of businesses held for sale have been excluded from the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1995 since the operations of these businesses accrued to the benefit of the holders of the notes issued by the Company's subsidiary SellCo, and prior to their payment in full during 1996, the Company's Series A Notes, and certain other obligations. See Notes F and G. The operating results substantially offset interest accrued on the Company's Series A Notes, which interest was recognized within the caption "Net assets held for sale" ("NAHFS") in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1995.
As indicated in Notes L and M, during its bankruptcy proceeding the Company developed and implemented a business restructuring plan which included the sale of its water supply business and other non--core businesses. The net assets of businesses that have been designated for sale are classified in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 1995 as NAHFS. Operating results for all periods presented prior to 1995 reflect the Company's water supply business and other non-core businesses as discontinued operations. The water supply business was sold during 1996. See Note L.

The Company continues to account for its stock option plans under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). See Note I for pro forma information relating to treatment of the Company's stock option plans under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123").
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Post-employment Benefits" ("SFAS 112"). See Note S.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Reclassifications of prior year data have been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements where appropriate to conform to the 1996 presentation.
Principles of Preparation
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from long-term contracts are recognized on the percentage-of-completion method. Percentage-of-completion for the mechanical contracting business is measured principally by the percentage of costs incurred and accrued to date for each contract to the estimated total costs for each contract at completion. Certain of the Company's electrical contracting business units measure percentage-of-completion by the percentage of labor costs incurred to date for each contract to the estimated labor costs for such contract, while others are on the cost to cost method. Revenues from facilities services are recognized when the earnings process is complete.
Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the period in which such losses are determined. In forecasting ultimate profitability on certain contracts, estimated recoveries are included for work performed under customer change orders to contracts for which firm prices have not yet been negotiated. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is reasonably possible that completion costs, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, will be revised in the near-term. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.
Costs and Estimated Earnings on Uncompleted Contracts
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts arise when revenues have been recorded but the amounts cannot be billed under the terms of the contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from customers upon various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones, completion of specified units or completion of the contract.
Also included in costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are amounts the Company seeks or will seek to collect from customers or others for errors or changes in contract specifications or design, contract change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price, or other customer-related causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (pending change orders and claims). These amounts are recorded at their estimated net realizable value when realization is probable and can be reasonably estimated. No profit is recognized on the construction costs incurred in connection with these amounts. Pending change orders involve the use of estimates and it is reasonably possible that revisions to the estimated recoverable amounts of recorded pending change orders may be made in the near-term. Claims made by the Company involve negotiation and, in certain cases, litigation. The Company expenses such costs as incurred, although it may seek to recover these costs as part of the claim. The Company believes that it has established legal bases for pursuing recovery of recorded claims and it is management's intention to pursue and litigate these claims, if necessary, until a decision or settlement is reached. Claims also involve the use of estimates and it is reasonably possible that revisions to the estimated recoverable amounts of recorded claims may be made in the near-term. Claims against the Company are recognized when a loss is considered probable and amounts are reasonably determinable.
Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts and related amounts billed as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows (in thousands):
1996 1995 ------------ ------------
Costs incurred on uncompleted contracts $2,442,197 $2,528,864 Estimated earnings 175,094 175,490 ------------ ------------ 2,617,291 2,704,354

Such amounts are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 1996 and 1995 under the following captions (in thousands):
1996 1995 ------------ ------------
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts $67,765 $65,551
Billings in excess of costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts (105,653) (113,590) ------------ ------------
$(37,888) $(48,039) ============ ============
As of December 31, 1996 costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts includes unbilled revenues for pending change orders of approximately $26.4 million and claims of approximately $13.3 million. In addition, accounts receivable as of December 31, 1996 includes claims and contractually billed amounts related to such contracts of approximately $49.2 million. Claims and related amounts aggregated approximately $73.2 million as of December 31, 1995. Generally, contractually billed amounts will not be paid by the customer to the Company until final resolution of the related claims.
Classification of Contract Amounts
In accordance with industry practice, the Company classifies as current all assets and liabilities related to the performance of long-term contracts. The contracting cycle for certain long-term contracts may extend beyond one year and, accordingly, collection or payment of amounts related to these contracts may extend beyond one year. Accounts receivable at December 31, 1996 and 1995 included $70.9 million and $64.8 million, respectively, of retainage billed under terms of the contracts. The Company estimates that approximately 85% of retainage recorded at December 31, 1996 will be collected during 1997.
Restricted Cash
In connection with a bank credit agreement for the Company's Canadian subsidiary, Comstock Canada Ltd. ("Comstock Canada"), approximately $1.5 million of cash and cash equivalents, included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1996, is deposited as security against borrowings under this credit facility. The Company is precluded from withdrawing any of these deposits if there are borrowings outstanding under the credit facility. Comstock Canada has no borrowings under this facility at December 31, 1996 and accordingly, the restricted deposits have been classified as a current asset.
As further described in Note F, the Company's various revolving credit agreements include certain restrictions on the transfer of assets, including cash and cash equivalents, between the Company and its foreign subsidiaries, as well as certain domestic subsidiaries.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosure about Fair Value of Financial Instruments", requires disclosure of the year-end value of significant financial instruments, including long-term debt. At December 31, 1996 and 1995, cash and cash equivalents, current debt and long-term debt have fair values that approximate their carrying amounts.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded principally using the straight--line method over estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 40 years.
Property, plant and equipment in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets consisted of the following amounts as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 (in thousands):
1996 1995 ------------------- ------------------
Machinery and equipment $22,615 $19,398 Furniture and fixtures 4,507 3,802 Land, buildings and leasehold improvements 13,554 12,516

Accumulated depreciation and amortization (13,724) (8,579)
------------------- ------------------ $26,952 $27,137 =================== ==================
Inventories Inventories, which consist primarily of construction materials, are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined principally by using average costs.
Reorganization Value in Excess of Amounts Allocable to Identifiable Assets
On the Effective Date, the Company recorded $5.0 million of reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets and began straight line amortization over 15 years. As of December 31, 1995, reorganization values in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets was classified as Other Assets under the caption "Miscellaneous" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note H for discussion of the reduction of reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets during 1996.
Foreign Operations
The financial statements and transactions of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are maintained in their functional currency and translated into U.S. dollars in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign Currency Translation". Translation adjustments have been accumulated as a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Other Income
Other income in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1996 includes a gain of $12.5 million ($8.1 million after-tax) on the sale of certain assets held for sale, including the sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company's principal water supply subsidiary Jamaica Water Supply Company ("JWS"). See Note L. JWS and the Company's other water supply subsidiary, Sea Cliff Water Company ("Sea Cliff"), are referred to hereafter as the "Water Companies".
Supplemental Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share and Common Equivalent Share
Supplemental net income (loss) per common share and common equivalent share data have been calculated based on the assumed issuance of 9,424,083 shares of Common Stock as of January 1, 1994 and the weighted average number of shares outstanding as of December 31, 1996 (9,938,651 shares) and 1995 (9,580,418 shares). When dilutive, stock options and warrants are included in weighted average number of shares outstanding using the treasury stock method.
Statements of Cash Flows
For purposes of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the Company considers all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 requires an asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable for the period and the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities.
NOTE D REORGANIZATION ITEMS
For the year ended December 31, 1994, the Company recorded $12.5 million of reorganization charges which are reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for various legal and other professional fees associated with its Chapter 11 proceeding. Such reorganization charges are expensed as incurred as prescribed by SOP 90-7. In addition, "Reorganization Items" in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1994 include fresh-start adjustments (see Note U) which reflect the net charge to state assets and liabilities at fair value.
NOTE E EXTRAORDINARY ITEM -- DISCHARGE OF DEBT
The Plan of Reorganization resulted in the discharge of pre-bankruptcy liabilities totaling approximately $623.0 million. The value of securities distributed pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization was $413.2 million less allowed claims, and, accordingly, the resulting gain was recorded as an extraordinary item in 1994.
NOTE F CURRENT DEBT
New Credit Facility
On June 19, 1996, the Company and its subsidiary Dyn Specialty Contracting Inc. ("Dyn") entered into a credit agreement with Harris Trust and Savings Bank ("Harris") providing the Company with up to a $100.0 million revolving credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") for a three year period. The New Credit Facility, which is guaranteed by certain direct and indirect U.S. subsidiaries of the Company and is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company and those subsidiaries, initially provided for up to $50.0 million in borrowing capacity available in the form of revolving loans ("Revolving Loans") and/or letters of credit ("LCs" or "LC"). As subsequently amended, the New Credit Facility currently provides for up to $72.5 million in borrowing capacity. The remaining $27.5 million in available credit is subject to: receipt of additional commitments from other banks; consents of bonding companies providing surety bonds to the Company's Canadian and United Kingdom subsidiaries; and the guarantee by these subsidiaries of the facility and the collateralization of the guarantees with liens upon their assets. The Revolving Loans bear interest at a variable rate, which is Harris' prime rate (8.25% at December 31, 1996) plus 1.0% - 2.0% based on certain financial tests. The interest rate on the Revolving Loans was 9.25% at December 31, 1996. LC fees ranging from 1.50% to 3.25% are charged based on the type of LC issued. The New Credit Facility expires on June 19, 1999. As of December 31, 1996, the Company had approximately $29.1 million of LCs outstanding under the New Credit Facility. In addition, there were $14.2 million of Revolving Loans outstanding as of December 31, 1996, which are classified as Current Liabilities under the caption "Borrowings under working capital credit lines" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
MES and Dyn Credit Agreements
On December 14, 1994, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a credit agreement (the "MES Credit Agreement") with Belmont, certain directors of the Company and/or their affiliates and other lenders (the "Lenders") providing the Company and MES Holdings Corporation ("MES"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with revolving credit loans (the "MES Loans") of up to an aggregate amount of $35.0 million. The MES Loans were guaranteed by certain direct or indirect subsidiaries of MES (the "MES Subsidiaries") and were secured by, among other things, substantially all of the assets of the Company, MES and the U.S. MES Subsidiaries, including the proceeds of the sale of all of the assets of the Company, MES and the U.S. MES Subsidiaries and the proceeds of the sale of stock or assets of the Water Companies to the extent of the first $15.0 million of such proceeds, subject to the right to such proceeds of the Lenders under the Dyn Credit Agreement (as that term is hereafter defined). The MES Loans bore interest on the principal amount thereof at the rate of 15.0% per annum.
On December 14, 1994, the Company, Dyn, and Dyn's subsidiaries also entered into a credit agreement (the "Dyn Credit Agreement") with the Lenders providing revolving credit loans (the "Dyn Loans") of up to an aggregate amount of $10.0 million. The Dyn Loans were guaranteed by the Dyn subsidiaries and were secured by substantially all of the assets of Dyn and the Dyn subsidiaries, including the proceeds of the sale of stock or assets of the Water Companies to the extent of the first $15.0 million of such proceeds, subject to the right to such proceeds of the Lenders under the MES Credit Agreement. The Dyn Loans bore interest on the principal amount thereof at the rate of 15% per annum.
Borrowings under the MES and Dyn Credit Agreements of $25.0 million and $0 million, respectively, at December 31, 1995, are classified as Current Liabilities under the caption "Borrowings under working capital credit lines" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 1995 related to the above individual lenders were $3.9 million, $0.6 and $1.1 million, respectively, under the MES and Dyn Credit Agreements.
Borrowings outstanding under the MES Credit Agreement and Dyn Credit Agreement were repaid in June 1996 from proceeds received by the Company from the sale of the Water Companies (see Note L) and from borrowings under the New Credit Facility at which time the MES and Dyn Credit Agreements were terminated.
Series A Notes
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, on December 15, 1994 the Company issued or reserved for issuance approximately $62.2 million principal amount of Series A Notes and reserved for issuance up to a maximum of $8.8 million additional principal amount of Series A Notes upon resolution of disputed and unliquidated pre-petition general unsecured claims.

See Note L.
Foreign Borrowings
In December 1996, Comstock Canada renewed a credit agreement with a bank providing for an overdraft facility of up to Cdn. $2.0 million. The facility is secured by certain assets of Comstock Canada and deposit instruments of another Canadian subsidiary of the Company. The facility provides for interest at the bank's prime rate (4.75% at December 31, 1996) plus 3/4% and expires on June 30, 1997. There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility at December 31, 1996. The Company is seeking to include its Canadian operations under the New Credit Facility.
In September 1995, a number of the Company's United Kingdom subsidiaries renegotiated and renewed a demand credit facility with a U.K. bank for a credit line of (pound)17.1 million (approximately U.S. $26.8 million). The
credit facility consisted of the following components with the individual credit limits as indicated: an overdraft line of up to (pound)9.0 million (approximately U.S. $14.1 million) which overdraft line was subsequently reduced to (pound)7.0 million (approximately U.S. $11.0 million); a facility for the issuance of guarantees, bond and indemnities of up to (pound)7.3 million (approximately U.S. $11.4 million); and other credit facilities of up to (pound)0.8 million (approximately U.S. $1.3 million). The facility was secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company's principal U.K. subsidiaries. The overdraft facility provided for interest at the bank's base rate, as defined (6.5% as of December 31, 1995), plus 3.0% on the first (pound)5.0 million of borrowings and at the bank's base rate plus 4.0% for borrowings over (pound)5.0 million. During the third quarter of 1996, the Company obtained an (pound)7.4 million LC under the New Credit Facility for use as collateral for bonds issued under the U.K. facility discussed above thereby releasing funds previously deposited as collateral for those bonds.

$73,051 $68,398 ============= ============
Series C Notes
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, on December 15, 1994 the Company issued approximately $62.8 million principal amount of Series C Notes. Interest on the Series C Notes was payable semiannually through June 15, 1996 by the issuance of additional Series C Notes and is currently payable quarterly in cash. The Series C Notes are unsecured indebtedness of the Company which are subordinate to indebtedness under the Company's New Credit Facility. The Series C Notes have been recorded at a discount to their face amount to yield an estimated effective interest rate of 14.0%. The Series C Notes mature on December 15, 2001.
On February 29, 1996, an aggregate majority of principal amount of the outstanding Series C Notes consented to amendments to the Series C Indenture under which the Series C Notes were issued. The amendments (i) reduced the ratio required to be maintained by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries under a Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio (the "Ratio"), as defined, and (ii) provided for the exclusion from the Ratio calculation certain non-cash interest payments payable by the issuance of additional Series C Notes.
Supplemental SellCo Note
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, EMCOR issued to SellCo its 8.0% promissory note in the principal amount of approximately $5.5 million (the "Supplemental SellCo Note"). The note matures on the earlier of (i) December 15, 2004 or (ii) one day prior to the date on which the SellCo Notes are deemed canceled. If at any time after the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and prior to the maturity date of the SellCo Notes (December 15, 2004) the value of the consolidated assets of SellCo and its subsidiaries (excluding the Supplemental SellCo Note) is determined by independent appraisal to be less than $250,000, the balance of the SellCo Notes (not theretofore paid from net sales proceeds from the sale of the stock or assets of SellCo subsidiaries and the proceeds of the Supplemental SellCo Note which will have become due and payable) will be deemed canceled. Interest on the Supplemental SellCo Note is payable upon maturity. The Supplemental SellCo Note has been recorded at a discount to its face amount to yield an estimated effective interest rate of 14.0%.
SellCo Notes
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, on December 15, 1994, SellCo issued approximately $48.1 million principal amount of SellCo Notes. Interest is payable semiannually in additional SellCo Notes. Net Cash Proceeds (as defined in the Indenture pursuant to which the SellCo Notes were issued) from the sales of stock or assets of SellCo subsidiaries are to be used to redeem SellCo Notes. The SellCo Notes are not obligations of EMCOR and accordingly are not included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 1996 and 1995. The holders of the SellCo Notes may only look to EMCOR to the extent of EMCOR's obligation to pay the Supplemental SellCo Note plus accrued interest thereon. In May 1996, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of its subsidiary JWS to The City of New York and the Water Authority of Western Nassau County. In May 1996, the Company also completed the sale of the stock of Sea Cliff to a subsidiary of Aquarion Company. See Notes L and M. Approximately $2.1 and $0.7 million of the proceeds from the sale of the stock of Sea Cliff and the sale of assets of JWS, respectively, were used to redeem, in part, the SellCo Notes during August 1996. On February 28, 1997, the Company redeemed approximately $6.6 million of SellCo Notes with proceeds from the sale of assets of JWS which monies had been retained pending disposition of the lawsuit brought by certain holders of Warrants of Participation ("Warrants") that had been issued by the Company prior to its Chapter 11 proceedings. As the liabilities of JWS are finally determined, JWS' various contingent liabilities are resolved, funds held in escrow under the sales agreements (the "Sales Agreements") for the sale of assets of JWS and the stock of Sea Cliff are released, and post closing adjustments under the Sales Agreements are agreed upon, additional amounts of the sales proceeds may become available, from time to time, for additional redemptions of the SellCo Notes. The SellCo Notes mature on December 15, 2004 if not deemed canceled at an earlier date as discussed above under Supplemental SellCo Note.
Other Long-Term Debt
Other long-term debt consists primarily of loans for real estate, office equipment, automobiles and building improvements. As of December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, long-term debt, excluding current maturities, totaling $1.8 million and $1.9 million was owed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries. The aggregate amount of other long-term debt maturing during the next five years is approximately: $0.1 million in 1997; $0.3 million in 1998; $0.1 million in each of 1999; 2000, 2001 and $1.2 million thereafter.
NOTE H INCOME TAXES
The Company files a consolidated federal income tax return including all its U.S. subsidiaries. At December 31, 1996, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards ("NOLs") for U.S. income tax purposes of approximately $200.0 million, which expire in the years 2007 through 2011. The NOLs are subject to review by the Internal Revenue Service. Future changes in ownership of the Company, as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, could limit the amount of NOLs available for use in any one year.
As a result of the adoption of Fresh-Start Accounting, the tax benefit of any net operating loss carryforwards or net deductible temporary differences which existed as of the Effective Date will result in a charge to the tax provision (provision in lieu of income taxes) and be allocated to reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets established in connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and to capital surplus. For the year ended December 31, 1996 the Company allocated approximately $4.5 million of its tax provision to reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets which was classified as Other Assets under the caption "Miscellaneous" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1995, thereby reducing this balance to zero. The remaining utilization of NOLs and other deferred tax assets, approximately $2.3 million, have been applied to capital surplus for the year ended December 31, 1996.
SFAS 109 requires a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company has provided a valuation allowance as of December 31, 1996 and 1995 of $91.1 million and $97.2 million, respectively, for the full amount of the tax benefit of its NOLs and other deferred tax assets. The income tax

NOTE I STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
1994 Management Stock Option Plan
In connection with the Plan of Reorganization the Company adopted a Management Stock Option Plan (the "1994 Plan"), which was approved by the stockholders of the Company.
The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to options under the 1994 Plan may not exceed 1,000,000 shares. The maximum number of shares which may be the subject of options granted to any individual in any calendar year may not exceed 500,000 shares.
Options may be granted by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors to eligible employees as incentive stock options or as non-qualified stock options.
The exercise price of an incentive stock option and a non-qualified stock option must be at least equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
Options may not be exercised more than ten years after the date of grant. Options may be exercisable at such rate and times as may be fixed by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors on the date of grant; however, the rate at which the option first becomes exercisable may not be more rapid than 33-1/3% on each of the first, second and third anniversaries.
1995 Non-Employee Directors' Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan
On March 20, 1995, the Company adopted the 1995 Non-Employee Directors' Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (the "1995 Plan"), which was approved by stockholders of the Company.
The 1995 Plan provides for automatic grants of non-qualified stock options to directors of the Company who are not also employees of the Company or a subsidiary. Pursuant to the 1995 Plan, each non-employee director on March 20, 1995 was granted an option to purchase 7,500 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $5.125 per share. Under the 1995 Plan, each person who is elected to serve as a non-employee director after March 20, 1995 (including those persons who were non-employee directors on March 20, 1995) is to be granted an option during each calendar year (beginning with 1995) to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock on the date on which the Board of Directors holds its first meeting following the annual meeting of stockholders held during such calendar year; however, if, beginning with 1996, an annual stockholders' meeting does not occur within the period ending on the last day of the 16th month following the month in which the prior year's annual meeting was held, such option is to be granted on the last day of such 16th month. Accordingly on November 17, 1995 and June 14, 1996, each non-employee director was granted an option to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $9.375 and $17.125 per share, respectively.
The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to options under the 1995 Plan may not exceed 200,000 shares.
The exercise price of an option granted under the 1995 Plan is equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. Such options are fully exercisable as of the date of grant. However, no option may be exercised more than ten years after the date of grant.
No options may be granted under the 1995 Plan after ten years following the date of its adoption. The Board of Directors may at any time withdraw or amend the 1995 Plan and may, with the consent of the affected holder of an outstanding option, at any time withdraw or amend the terms and conditions of outstanding options. Amendments which would increase the number of shares issuable pursuant to options, change the class of persons who are eligible to be granted options or materially increase the benefits to participants in the 1995 Plan are subject to the approval of the stockholders of the Company. In addition, no amendment may be made more than once every six months to any provision of the 1995 Plan that specifies the directors to whom options may be granted, the timing of option grants, the number or purchase price of shares of Common Stock that can be purchased under options or the time when options may be exercised, except any amendment that is necessary to conform with changes in the Internal Revenue Code or the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
The following table summarizes the Company's stock option activity since the Effective Date.

Balance December 31, 1996 628,236 $5.33 52,500 $10.21 ========= ---------- ========== ----------
At December 31, 1996 and 1995, approximately 208,000 options and 63,000 options were exercisable, respectively. There were no options exercisable at December 31, 1994. The weighted average exercise price of exercisable options at December 31, 1996 and 1995 was approximately $6.33 and $6.34, respectively.
The weighted average fair value of options granted during 1996 and 1995 were $10.10 and $3.28, respectively.
The Company applies APB 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 for options granted during those years. Had compensation cost for these plans been determined consistent with SFAS No. 123, the Company's net income and earnings per common share and common equivalent share ("EPS") would have been reduced from the following as reported amounts to the following pro forma amounts:
1996 1995 --------------- ---------------
Net Income (Loss): As Reported $9,437 $(10,853) Pro Forma $8,840 $(11,354)
Primary EPS: As Reported $0.95 $(1.13) Pro Forma $0.89 $(1.19)
Fully Diluted EPS: As Reported $0.95 $(1.13) Pro Forma $0.89 $(1.18)
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants in 1996 and 1995: risk-free interest rates from 5.9% to 7.1% representing the risk-free interest rate at the date of grant; expected dividend yields of zero percent; expected lives of 6.5 years; and expected volatility of 57%.
Warrants
1,450,000 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon exercise of Warrants to purchase Common Stock issued pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization.
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the Company issued to the holders of $7,040,000 principal amount of its pre-petition 7 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures, due 2012, and $9,600,000 principal amount of its pre-petition 12% Subordinated Notes due 1996, their pro rata share of each of two series of five-year Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, namely, 600,000 Series X Warrants and 600,000 Series Y Warrants, with an exercise price of $12.55 per share and $17.55 per share, respectively. In addition, the Company issued to pre-petition holders of other contingent and statutory subordinate claims and to holders of EMCOR's pre-petition common stock, preferred stock and Warrants of Participation, as well as to the plaintiffs in a stockholder class action lawsuit, their pro rata share of 250,000 Series Z Warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock, which Series Z Warrants had an exercise price of $50.00 per share. The Series Z Warrants expired on December 15, 1996.
In addition to the warrants issued above, approximately 28,000 Series X Warrants, 28,000 Series Y Warrants and 12,000 Series Z Warrants were issued to Belmont as a portion of additional interest under the DIP Loan.
If the Company's Common Stock trades at $30.46 per share for ten of the preceding fifteen trading days at any time prior to December 15, 1999, the Company may accelerate the expiration date of the Warrants to a date 15 days after notice to such Warrant holders.
As of December 31, 1996, the number of Series X Warrants and Series Y Warrants issued and outstanding were approximately 605,000 and 605,000, respectively.

Rent expense relating to discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 1994 was $2.8 million.
The Company has employment agreements with certain of its executive officers and management personnel. These agreements generally continue until terminated by the executive or the Company and provide for salary continuation for a specified number of months under certain circumstances. Certain of the agreements provide the employees with certain additional rights if a change in control (as defined) of the Company occurs.
The Company is contingently liable to sureties in respect of performance and payment bonds issued by the sureties in connection with certain contracts entered into by the Company in the normal course of business. The Company has agreed to indemnify the sureties for any payments made by them in respect of such bonds.
NOTE L DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
As discussed in Note C, in May 1996, the Company completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of JWS for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $179.0 million, subject to post-closing adjustments; approximately $1.2 million of this purchase price is being held in escrow pending determination of post-closing adjustments, and in May 1996, the Company also completed the sale of the stock of Sea Cliff for approximately $2.6 million, subject to post-closing adjustments; approximately $0.5 million of this purchase price is being held in escrow for a period of approximately one year pending determination of post-closing adjustments and as collateral security for certain indemnification obligations. Approximately 96% of the common stock of JWS is owned by the Company.
The proceeds, as defined, from the sale of JWS' assets have been and will be applied to pay JWS liabilities and preferred stock obligations and to satisfy the minority stock interest in JWS. Of the balance, $15.0 million was used to repay a portion of indebtedness under the Company's then outstanding MES Credit Agreement and approximately $66.5 million was used to redeem in full its Series A Notes. As the liabilities of JWS are finally determined, JWS' various contingent liabilities are resolved, funds held in escrow under the Sales Agreements for the sale of assets of JWS and the stock of Sea Cliff are released, and post closing adjustments under the Sales Agreements are agreed upon, additional amounts of the sales proceeds may become available, from time to time, for additional redemptions of the SellCo Notes.
Revenues of the water supply business were $65.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1994. Operating income of the water supply business was $14.3 million for the year ended December 31, 1994.

NOTE N INSURANCE RESERVES
The Company's insurance liability is determined actuarially based on claims filed and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. The present value of such claims was determined at December 31, 1996 and 1995 using a 4% discount rate. The estimated current portion of the insurance liability was approximately $3.2 million and $4.9 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Such amounts are included in "Other accrued expenses and liabilities" in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The non-current portion of the insurance liability was approximately $18.5 million and $32.2 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively. Such amounts are included in "Other Long-Term Obligations". The undiscounted liability was approximately $24.9 million and $42.3 million at December 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
During the second quarter of 1996, the Company entered into an agreement with one of its insurers to reinsure the Company's obligations to bear certain losses incurred for insurance plan years from October 1, 1992 to September 30, 1995. Under this agreement, amounts previously deposited by the Company with one of its insurers as collateral to fund certain losses under the deductible portion of its insurance program were returned to the Company and used to fund the cost of that agreement and to pay down, in July 1996, approximately $10.1 million of indebtedness under the New Credit Facility. As of December 31, 1996, the Company was utilizing $16.4 million of letters of credit obtained under the New Credit Facility referred to in Note F as collateral for its current insurance obligations, and therefore presently is not required to deposit cash as collateral for such obligations.
The Company is subject to regulation with respect to the handling of certain materials used in construction which are classified as hazardous or toxic by Federal, State and local agencies. The Company's practice is to avoid participation in projects principally involving the remediation or removal of such materials. However, where remediation is a required part of contract performance, the Company believes it complies with all applicable regulations governing the discharge of material into the environment or otherwise relating to the protection of the environment.
The Company believes that it maintains adequate insurance coverage for its current operations.

NOTE R LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Dynalectric Company ("Dynalectric"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is a defendant in an action entitled Computran v. Dynalectric, et. al., pending in Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen County, arising out of its participation in a joint venture. In the action, which was instituted in 1988, the plaintiff, Computran, a participant in and a subcontractor to the joint venture, alleges that Dynalectric wrongfully terminated it from the subcontract, fraudulently diverted funds due it, misappropriated its trade secrets and proprietary information, fraudulently induced it to enter into the joint venture and conspired with other defendants to commit certain acts in violation of the New Jersey Racketeering Influence and Corrupt Organization Act. Dynalectric believes that Computran's claims are without merit and intends to defend this matter vigorously. Dynalectric has filed counterclaims against Computran. Discovery is ongoing and no trial date has been scheduled.
In February 1995 as part of an investigation by the New York County District Attorney's office into the business affairs of Herbert Construction Company ("Herbert"), a general contractor that does business with the Company's subsidiary, Forest Electric Corporation ("Forest"), a search warrant was executed at Forest's executive offices. At that time, the Company was informed that Forest and certain of its officers are targets of the continuing investigation. Neither the Company nor Forest has been advised of the precise nature of any suspected violation of law by Forest or its officers. On July 11, 1995, Ted Kohl, a principal of Herbert, and DPL Interiors, Inc., a company allegedly owned by Kohl, were indicted by a New York County grand jury for grand larceny, fraud, repeated failure to file New York City Corporate Tax Returns and related money laundering charges. Kohl was also charged with filing false personal income and earnings tax returns, perjury and offering false instruments for filing with the New York City School Construction Authority. In a press release announcing the indictment, the Manhattan District Attorney said that the investigation disclosed that Mr. Kohl allegedly received more than $7 million in kickbacks from subcontractors through a scheme in which he allegedly inflated subcontracts on Herbert's construction contracts. At a July 11, 1995 press conference following the indictment, the District Attorney announced that the investigation was continuing and that he expected further indictments in the investigation.
Forest performs electrical contracting services primarily in the New York City commercial market and is one of the Company's largest subsidiaries.
In addition to the above, the Company is involved in other legal proceedings and claims, asserted by and against the Company, which have arisen in the ordinary course of business.
The Company believes it has a number of valid defenses to these actions and the Company intends to vigorously defend or assert these claims and does not believe that a significant liability will result. However, the Company cannot predict the outcome thereof or the impact that an adverse result of the matters discussed above will have upon the Company's financial position or results of operations.
NOTE S ADOPTION OF NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 112. This standard requires that the cost of benefits provided to former or inactive employees be recognized on an accrual basis of accounting. Previously, the Company recognized such post employment benefit costs (primarily short-term disability and severance costs) when paid. The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS 112 was to record a charge of $2.1 million as of January 1, 1994. Such amount has been reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1994 under the caption "Cumulative Effect of Change in Method of Accounting for Post -employment Benefits". The adoption of SFAS 112 did not have a material effect on the 1994 loss before extraordinary item and cumulative effect of accounting changes.
NOTE T OTHER
During 1994, the Company wrote down its investment in Health Care International Ltd. ("HCI"), a Scottish hospital, due to its deteriorating financial condition. HCI was placed in receivership in November, 1994.
NOTE U FRESH-START REPORTING
The Company has accounted for its reorganization by using the principles of Fresh-Start Accounting as required by SOP 90-7. For accounting purposes, the Company assumed that the Plan of Reorganization was consummated on December 31, 1994. Under the principles of Fresh-Start Accounting, the Company's total net assets were recorded at their assumed reorganization value, with the reorganization value allocated to identifiable assets on the basis of their estimated fair value. Accordingly, the Company's accounts receivable and costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts were reduced by approximately $11.6 million. In addition, its intangible assets of approximately $60.5 million were written off. The Company's accumulated stockholders' deficit of approximately $334.5 million and cumulative translation adjustments of $6.2 million were eliminated. The excess of reorganization value over the value of identifiable assets is reported as "Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets" (the "Excess Reorganization Value").
The primary valuation methodology employed by the Company, with the assistance of its financial advisors, to determine the reorganization value of the Company was a net present value approach. The valuation was based on the Company's forecasts of unleveraged, after-tax cash flows calculated for each year over the four year period from 1994 to 1997, capitalizing projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization at multiples ranging from 3 to 10 selected to value earnings and cash flows beyond 1997, and discounting the resulting amounts to present value at rates ranging from 10% to 30% selected to approximate the Company's projected weighted average cost of capital. The above calculations resulted in an estimated reorganization value of approximately $81.1 million, of which the Excess Reorganization Value was $5.0 million.
As a result of the implementation of Fresh-Start Accounting, the consolidated financial statements of the Company after consummation of the Plan of Reorganization are not comparable to the Company's consolidated financial statements of prior periods, and have been separated by a black line.
The effect of the Plan of Reorganization, including the discharge of debt, and the implementation of Fresh-Start Accounting on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1994 was as follows (in thousands):

Report of Independent Public Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of EMCOR Group, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets of EMCOR Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries (a Delaware corporation) (the "Company"), as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the related Consolidated Statements of Operations, Cash Flows and Stockholders' Equity for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule of Valuation and Qualifying Accounts is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and is not a required part of the basic financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995 and, in our opinion, fairly states in all material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

Report of Independent Public Accountants
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of EMCOR Group, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, Stockholders' Equity (Deficit) and Cash Flows of EMCOR Group, Inc. (formerly JWP INC.) and its subsidiaries (the "Company"), for the year ended December 31, 1994. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to report on these financial statements based on our audits. Our audit also included the financial statement schedule for the year ended December 31, 1994 listed in the Index at Item 14 (a)(2). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to report on these financial statements and schedule based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in Notes A and U to the consolidated financial statements, the Company emerged from Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code on December 15, 1994. Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position 90-7, Financial Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code. The Company accounted for the Reorganization as of December 31, 1994 and adopted Fresh-Start Reporting.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the Company's operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1994 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth.
As more fully described in Note R to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is involved with certain legal proceedings. The Company is presently unable to predict the outcome of these proceedings, and the impact, if any, that the ultimate resolution of such matters will have upon the Company and its consolidated financial statements. No provision for any liability that may result from the resolution of these uncertainties has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
As discussed in Note S to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for post-employment benefits effective January 1, 1994.
