SJW CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1. General

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

The unaudited interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in SJW Corp.’s 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

Basic earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The two-class method in computing basic earnings per share is not used because the number of participating securities as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 260 - “Earning Per Share” is not significant. (The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security.) Diluted earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock including both shares outstanding and shares potentially issuable in connection with stock options, deferred restricted common stock awards under SJW Corp.’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Incentive Plan”) and shares potentially issuable under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). For the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, 36 and 815 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, 1,702 and 3,125 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively.

Note 2. Equity Plans

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

The Incentive Plan allows SJW Corp. to provide employees, non-employee board members or the board of directors of any parent or subsidiary, consultants, and other independent advisors who provide services to the company or any parent or subsidiary the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in SJW Corp. The types of awards included in the Incentive Plan are restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares, or other share-based awards. As of September 30, 2012, the remaining shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan were 1,185,373, and 344,196 shares are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, restricted stock units, and deferred restricted stock units under the Incentive Plan. In addition, shares are issued to employees under the ESPP. SJW Corp. also has a Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (“DRSPP”) which allows eligible participants to buy shares and reinvest cash dividends in SJW Corp. common stock.

Stock Options

No options were granted during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

As of September 30, 2012, there were no unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options.

Restricted Stock and Deferred Restricted Stock

On January 3, 2012, restricted stock units covering an aggregate of 17,670 shares of common stock of SJW Corp. were granted to certain executives of SJW Corp. and its subsidiaries. The units vest in three equal successive installments upon completion of each year of service with no dividend equivalent rights. Share-based compensation expense based on a grant date fair value of $21.92 per unit is being recognized over the service period beginning in 2012.

On January 24, 2012, 4,321 restricted stock units were granted to a key executive of SJW Corp. The units vest in three equal successive installments upon completion of each year of service with no dividend equivalent rights. Share-based compensation expense based on a grant date fair value of $21.02 per unit is being recognized over the service period beginning in 2012.

On January 24, 2012, market performance-vesting restricted stock units granted to a key executive of SJW Corp. on January 27, 2009 covering 7,000 shares of common stock of SJW Corp. were canceled because the market performance objective was not attained. However, since the requisite service over the three-year service period of the award was rendered, even though the market condition was not achieved, compensation cost over the three-year requisite service period was not reversed.

On April 25, 2012, two non-employee board members retired from SJW Corp.’s Board of Directors and accordingly 9,832shares of common stock of SJW Corp. were distributed upon their retirement. In addition, 2,199 shares of common stock of SJW Corp. were also distributed relating to dividend equivalent rights.

On May 25, 2012, a key executive of SJW Corp. retired from the Company and as a result, a total of 4,998 unvested restricted shares were forfeited. Compensation costs of $12 previously recognized relating to these unvested shares was reversed during the second quarter of 2012.

As of September 30, 2012, the total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted and deferred restricted stock plans amounted to $735. This cost is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average period of 1.64 years.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Dividend Equivalent Rights

Under the Incentive Plan, certain holders of options, restricted stock, and deferred restricted stock awards may have the right to receive dividend equivalent rights (“DERs”) each time a dividend is paid on common stock after the grant date. Stock compensation on DERs is recognized as a liability and recorded against retained earnings on the date dividends are issued. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, $32 and $98, respectively, related to DERs were recorded against retained earnings and were accrued as a liability. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, $32 and $96, respectively, related to DERs were recorded against retained earnings and were accrued as a liability.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase shares of SJW Corp.’s common stock at 85% of the fair value of shares on the purchase date. Under the ESPP, employees can designate up to a maximum of 10% of their base compensation for the purchase of shares of common stock, subject to certain restrictions. A total of 270,400 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the ESPP.

After considering estimated employee terminations or withdrawals from the plan before the purchase date, SJW Corp.’s recorded expenses were $17 and $62 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $15 and $55 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, related to the ESPP.

The total unrecognized compensation costs related to the semi-annual offering period that ends January 31, 2013 for the ESPP is approximately $35. This cost is expected to be recognized during the first quarter of 2013.

Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan

SJW Corp. adopted the DRSPP effective April 19, 2011. The DRSPP offers shareholders the ability to reinvest cash dividends in SJW Corp. common stock and also purchase additional shares of SJW Corp. common stock. A total of 3,000,000 shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance under the DRSPP. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, 636 and 2,834 shares, respectively, have been issued under the DRSPP. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, 613 and 962 shares, respectively, have been issued under the DRSPP.

Note 3. Real Estate Investments

The major components of real estate investments as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows:

	September 30, 2012		December 31, 2011
Land	$	18,892	21,312
Buildings and improvements	54,383		67,487
Intangibles	329		300
Subtotal	73,604		89,099
Less: accumulated depreciation and amortization	8,697		10,557
Total	$	64,907	78,542

Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated service life of the respective assets, ranging from 5 to 39 years.

On August 8, 2012, SJW Land Company sold its warehouse building located in Orlando, Florida for $5,821. The Company recognized a pre-tax gain on the sale of real estate investment of $910, after selling expenses of $304.

During the third quarter of 2012, management decided to sell its warehouse building located in Windsor, Connecticut. As a result, the Company reclassified the Connecticut warehouse building from held-and-used to held-for-sale at September 30, 2012. The Company determined that reclassifying the Connecticut property as held-for-sale represents a change in circumstances in the intended use of such facility and reviewed the asset for impairment. The Company performed a recoverability test of estimated sale proceeds less cost to sell from the property in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360 - “Property, Plant and Equipment.” The Company has multiple offers for the property supporting the carrying value as of September 30, 2012. These offers represent a strong, observable market indicator of fair value defined in FASB ASC Topic 820 - “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” As a result, the Company determined that the carrying value was recoverable and no impairment exists.

General:

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

San Jose Water Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of SJW Corp., is a public utility in the business of providing water service to approximately 227,000 connections that serve a population of approximately one million people in an area comprising approximately 138 square miles in the metropolitan San Jose, California area.

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

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

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

* On August 8, 2012, SJW Land Company closed on the sale of its Florida warehouse building. Revenue and expense amounts are through the sale closing date. Expense amount is net of the gain on sale of property.

On August 14, 2012, SJW Land Company entered into a lease with a single tenant for approximately 50,000 square feet of office space and approximately 25,000 square feet of space in the distribution facility of the Company's properties located in Knoxville, Tennessee. The lease commences on or about July 1, 2013 and is a modified full service lease with an initial fifteen-year term and four five-year term options.

On October 16, 2012, SJW Land Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately 326,000 square feet of the distribution facility located in Knoxville, Tennessee. The lease commences on or about November 1, 2012 and is a modified net lease with an initial five-year and four-month term and two three-year options.

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

SJWTX, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SJW Corp., doing business as Canyon Lake Water Service Company (“CLWSC”), is a public utility in the business of providing water service to approximately 10,000 connections that serve approximately 36,000 people. CLWSC’s service area comprises more than 240 square miles in western Comal County and southern Blanco County in the growing region between San Antonio and Austin, Texas. SJWTX, Inc. has a 25% interest in Acequia Water Supply Corporation (“Acequia”). The water supply corporation has been determined to be a variable interest entity within the scope of ASC Topic 810 with SJWTX, Inc. as the primary beneficiary. As a result, Acequia has been consolidated with SJWTX, Inc.

Texas Water Alliance Limited (“TWA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SJW Corp., is undertaking activities that are necessary to develop a water supply project in Texas.

Business Strategy:

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

(1) Regional regulated water utility operations.

(2) Regional nonregulated water utility related services provided in accordance with the guidelines established by the CPUC in California and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (“TCEQ”) in Texas.

(3) Out-of-region water and utility related services, primarily in the Western United States.

As part of its pursuit of the above three strategic areas, the Company considers from time to time opportunities to acquire businesses and assets. However, SJW Corp. cannot be certain it will be successful in identifying and consummating any strategic business acquisitions relating to such opportunities. In addition, any transaction will involve numerous risks, including the possibility of incurring more costs than benefits derived from the acquisition, the assumption of certain known and

16

unknown liabilities related to the acquired assets, the diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations of the business, the potential for a negative impact on SJW Corp.’s financial position and operating results, entering markets in which SJW Corp. has no or limited direct prior experience and the potential loss of key employees of any acquired company. SJW Corp. cannot be certain that any transaction will be successful and will not materially harm its operating results or financial condition.

SJW Corp.’s real estate investment activity is conducted through SJW Land Company. SJW Land Company owns undeveloped land and owns and operates a portfolio of commercial buildings in the states of California, Connecticut, Texas, Arizona and Tennessee. SJW Land Company also owns a limited partnership interest in 444 West Santa Clara Street, L.P. The partnership owns a commercial building in San Jose, California. SJW Land Company implements its investment strategy by managing our asset portfolio to generate cash for corporate initiatives. SJW Land Company’s real estate investments diversify SJW Corp.’s asset base.

Critical Accounting Policies:

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

Revenue Recognition

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

Metered revenue of Water Utility Services includes billing to customers based on meter readings plus an estimate of water used between the customers’ last meter reading and the end of the accounting period. Water Utility Services read the majority of its customers’ meters on a bi-monthly basis and records its revenue based on its meter reading results. Unbilled revenue from the last meter reading date to the end of the accounting period is estimated based on the most recent usage patterns, production records and the effective tariff rates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, which may result in an adjustment to the operating revenue in the period which the revision to Water Utility Services’ estimates is determined.

Revenues also include a surcharge collected from regulated customers that is paid to the CPUC. This surcharge is recorded both in operating revenues and administrative and general expenses. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the surcharge was $2,919 and $2,373, respectively.

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

Recognition of Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

Generally accepted accounting principles for water utilities include the recognition of regulatory assets and liabilities as permitted by FASB ASC Topic 980 - “Regulated Operations.” In accordance with ASC Topic 980, Water Utility Services, to the extent applicable, records deferred costs and credits on the balance sheet as regulatory assets and liabilities when it is probable that these costs and credits will be recognized in the ratemaking process in a period different from when the costs and credits are incurred. Accounting for such costs and credits is based on management’s judgment and prior historical ratemaking practices, and it occurs when management determines that it is probable that these costs and credits will be recognized in the future revenue of Water Utility Services through the ratemaking process. The regulatory assets and liabilities recorded by Water Utility Services, in particular, San Jose Water Company, primarily relate to the recognition of deferred income taxes for ratemaking versus tax accounting purposes and the postretirement pension benefits, medical costs, accrued benefits for vacation and asset retirement obligations that have not been passed through in rates. The Company adjusts the related asset and liabilities for these items through its regulatory asset and liability accounts at year-end. The disallowance of any asset in future ratemaking, including deferred regulatory assets, would require San Jose Water Company to immediately recognize the impact of the costs for financial reporting purposes. No disallowance was recognized during the quarter ended September 30, 2012 or during the year ended December 31, 2011.

17

Pension Plan Accounting

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

Income Taxes

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

Balancing and Memorandum Accounts

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

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

Since the amounts in the balancing accounts must be approved by the CPUC before they can be incorporated into rates, San Jose Water Company does not recognize balancing accounts in its revenue until CPUC approval occurs. It is typical for the CPUC to incorporate any over-collected and/or under-collected balances in balancing accounts into customer rates at the time rate decisions are made as part of the Company’s general rate case proceedings by assessing temporary surcredits and/or surcharges.

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

In the case where the Company’s balancing or memorandum-type accounts that have been authorized by the CPUC reach certain thresholds or have termination dates, the Company can request the CPUC to recognize the amounts in such accounts in customer rates prior to the next regular general rate case proceeding by filing an advice letter. If such amounts are authorized for inclusion into customer rates, revenue would be recognized at the time authorization is received pursuant to ASC Topic 605 and Sub-topic 980-605.

If the balancing or memorandum-type accounts had been recognized in San Jose Water Company’s financial statements, San Jose Water Company’s earnings and retained earnings would be decreased by the amount of surcredits in the case of over-collection or increased by the surcharges in the case of under-collection, less applicable taxes.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

In July 2012, the FASB issued an accounting standard update (“ASU”) that permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset, other than goodwill, is impaired. Entities are required to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually and more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. If an entity concludes, based on an evaluation of all relevant qualitative factors, that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of an indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying amount, it is not required to perform the quantitative impairment test for that asset. Since the qualitative assessment is optional, an entity is permitted to bypass it for any indefinite-lived intangible asset in any period and apply the quantitative test. The ASU also permits the entity to resume performing the qualitative assessment in any subsequent period. The ASU becomes effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, and early adoption is permitted.

Results of Operations:

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

Overview

SJW Corp.’s consolidated net income for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $10,084, an increase of $1,869 or approximately 23%, from $8,215 in the third quarter of 2011. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in usage and rates offset in part by higher water production costs, administrative and general expenses and depreciation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, consolidated net income was $16,394, an increase of $2,118, or 15%, from $14,276 for the same period in 2011. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increase in usage and rates, offset in part by higher per unit costs for purchased water, administrative and general expenses and depreciation.

Sources of Water Supply

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

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

Surface water is the least expensive source of water. The following table presents the change in sources of water supply, in million gallons, for Water Utility Services:

	Three months ended September 30,		Increase/ (decrease)		% Change		Nine months ended September 30,		Increase/ (decrease)		% Change
	2012	2011					2012	2011
Purchased water	10,359	9,452	907		6	%	25,846	20,031	5,815		16	%
Groundwater	4,690	4,644	46		—	%	9,751	11,003	(1,252	)	(3	)%
Surface water	653	1,442	(789	)	(5	)%	1,833	4,425	(2,592	)	(7	)%

	15,933	15,755	178		1	%	37,875	35,783	2,092		6	%

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

Unaccounted-for water on a 12 month-to-date basis for September 30, 2012 and 2011 approximated 5.8% and 7.8%, respectively, as a percentage of total production. The estimate is based on the results of past experience, the trend and efforts in reducing Water Utility Services’ unaccounted-for water through main replacements and lost water reduction programs.

Water production costs

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011, the increase in water production costs was primarily attributable to higher customer water usage and higher per unit costs for purchased water and groundwater extraction charges. Effective July 2012, SCVWD increased the unit price of purchased water by approximately 8% and the groundwater extraction charge by approximately 9%. In addition, production costs increased due to a decrease in available low-cost surface water supply compared to amounts available in 2011.

20

Other Operating Expenses

Operating expenses, excluding water production costs, increased $1,456 for the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $891 in administrative and general expenses primarily due to an increase in payroll and benefit costs, regulatory fees and water conservation expenses related to the recycled water retrofit program. The increase in regulatory fees primarily related to the pass-through surcharge collected from customers that is paid to the CPUC. The surcharge is recorded both in operating revenues and administrative and general expenses. In addition, depreciation expense increased $485 due to increases in utility plant.

Operating expenses, excluding water production costs, increased $4,746 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $2,891 in administrative and general expenses primarily due to increases in payroll and benefit costs, water conservation expenses and regulatory fees. The increase in regulatory fees primarily related to rate case filings and the pass-through surcharge collected from customers that is paid to the CPUC. In addition, depreciation expense increased $1,533 due to increases in utility plant and property taxes and other non-income taxes increased $644. These increases were partially offset by a $322 decrease in maintenance expenses.

As a result of the three-year collective bargaining agreements signed in 2010 with the Utility Workers of America, representing the majority of all employees, and the International Union of Operating Engineers, representing certain employees in the engineering department, salaries are expected to increase 3% in 2013 for union workers. SJW Corp. also anticipates increases in 2013 for healthcare costs as well as depreciation expense and property taxes and other non-income taxes due to increases in utility plant.

Other (Expense) Income

For the three months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, the change in other (expense) income was primarily due to a gain from the sale of our Florida warehouse real estate property of $910. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same period in 2011, the change in other (expense) income was primarily due to the gain from the sale of the Florida property and a decrease in interest expense due to decreased borrowings on the line of credit, offset by an increase in interest expense from SJW Corp.’s senior note which was issued in June 2011.

Provision for Income Taxes

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011, income tax expense increased $1,506 and $1,612, respectively, as a result of higher pre-tax income. The effective consolidated income tax rates were 41% for the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2012 and 39% and 40% for the three-and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The Company is currently undergoing an income tax examination by the Internal Revenue Service for its fiscal years 2008 through 2011.

Other Comprehensive Income

The change in other comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 was due to the changes in market value of the Company’s investment in California Water Service Group.

Water Supply

On October 1, 2012, SCVWD’s 10 reservoirs were approximately 41% full with 68,439 acre-feet of water in storage. As reported by SCVWD, for the first quarter of the rainfall season that commenced on July 1, 2012 and ends on June 30, 2013, there was no measurable rainfall. As of September 30, 2012, San Jose Water Company’s Lake Elsman contained 448 million gallons of which approximately 228 million gallons can be utilized. In addition, there was no measurable rainfall at San Jose Water Company’s Lake Elsman for the first quarter of the rainfall season that commenced on July 1, 2012 and ends on June 30, 2013, which is typical for this time of year. Local surface water is a less costly source of water than groundwater or purchased water and its availability significantly impacts San Jose Water Company’s results of operations. San Jose Water Company believes that its various sources of water supply will be sufficient to meet customer demand through the remainder of 2012.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a Biological Opinion (“BiOp”) and Incidental Take Statement for the Central Valley Project (“CVP”) and the State Water Project (“SWP”) on the Delta smelt. The BiOp prescribes a range of operational criteria that are determined based on hydrology, fish distribution, abundance and other factors. Under a “most likely” scenario, the California Department of Water Resources and United States Bureau of Reclamation estimate that SWP and CVP supplies to SCVWD could be reduced by approximately 17% to 18% of the supply amount they currently receive. Under a “worst case” BiOp scenario, SWP and CVP supplies to SCVWD could be reduced by approximately 32% to 33% of the current supply amount they receive. In addition, while there is some overlap with the California Fish & Game Commission’s restrictions to protect longfin smelt, the longfin pumping restrictions, if triggered, could cause significant supply impacts beyond those estimated to comply with Delta smelt requirements.

Regulation and Rates

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

On September 30, 2010, San Jose Water Company, in compliance with Commission Decision 09-11-032, requested the CPUC’s approval of upgrades to San Jose Water Company’s 40-year old Montevina Water Treatment Plant (“MWTP”). The MWTP has aging infrastructure and many of its components are at the end of their useful lives, or they do not meet current structural and seismic requirements. The total planned project cost is $73,700 over five years. San Jose Water Company’s application requested revenue increases of $490, or 0.22% in 2011, $1,861, or 0.85% in 2012, $7,700, or 3.50% in 2013, $3,547, or 1.61% in 2014 and $843, or 0.38% in 2015 (all at the then current authorized rate of return). Evidentiary hearings were completed in April 2011. However, in July 2012, the CPUC reopened the proceeding seeking additional evidence in the case. San Jose Water Company submitted supplemental testimony on September 24, 2012. A decision on the application is now expected in 2013.

On May 2, 2011, San Jose Water Company filed Application No. 11-05-002 with the CPUC seeking authorization of an updated Cost of Capital (“COC”) for the period from January 1, 2012 through December 31, 2014. An all-party settlement agreement was announced by the CPUC on October 17, 2011 that provided San Jose Water Company a return on equity of 9.99%, a long-term cost of debt of 6.68% and a rate of return of 8.38%. This settlement was approved by the CPUC on July 12, 2012. Upon approval, the authorized rate of return of 8.38% became effective retroactively as of January 1, 2012. New rates for this updated authorized rate of return became effective September 1, 2012. The differential in revenue between when the authorized rate of return became retroactively effective (January 1, 2012) and when the rates were actually implemented (September 1, 2012) is tracked in a memorandum account. The final decision included a continuation of a Water Cost of Capital Mechanism (“WCCM”). This WCCM is a mechanism that allows an adjustment to authorized return on equity between COC filings. On October 15, 2012, San Jose Water Company filed an advice letter to adjust the authorized return on equity and rate of return due to the triggering of this WCCM. The WCCM was triggered when the differential between the 12 month average Moody's Aa utility bond index for the period October 2010 through September 2011 (5.04%) and October 2011 through September 2012 (3.92%) exceeded 100 basis points. With the WCCM triggered, the authorized return on equity must be adjusted by one-half of the difference. This produces an adjusted return on equity of 9.43%, which, in conjunction with the authorized capital structure and long-term cost of debt provides an authorized rate of return of 8.09%. This 8.09% rate of return will become effective January 1, 2013, pending CPUC authorization.

On January 3, 2012, San Jose Water Company filed a general rate case application requesting rate increases of $47,394, or 21.51% in 2013, $12,963, or 4.87% in 2014, and $34,797, or 12.59% in 2015. This general rate case filing also includes several “special requests”, including but not limited to: (1) recovery of the under-collected balance of $2,599 in the balancing account, (2) disbursement of the over-collected balance of $650 accrued in various memorandum accounts and (3) implementation of a full revenue decoupling Water Revenue Adjustment Mechanism (“WRAM”) and associated Modified Cost Balancing Account (“MCBA”). The WRAM de-couples San Jose Water Company's revenue requirement from ratepayer usage. Under the WRAM, San Jose Water Company would recover the full quantity revenue amounts authorized by the CPUC by using advice letter filings for any unbilled quantity revenue amounts or refunds for over-collection, regardless of customer usage volumes. A MCBA similarly provides for recovery/refund for changes in water supply mix from amounts authorized by the CPUC. A general rate case is a year-long proceeding before the CPUC that involves a discovery phase led by the CPUC’s Division of Ratepayer Advocates and customer intervenors that are assigned party status, settlement meetings, as well as possible evidentiary hearings. The general rate case has been proceeding on schedule and parties to the proceeding filed opening briefs on July 20, 2012 and reply briefs on August 7, 2012. A final decision in this proceeding is likely to occur in the fourth quarter of 2012 with new rates becoming effective January 1, 2013. On September 26, 2012, San Jose Water Company filed a motion for interim rate relief so that if a decision is not reached by the end of 2012, San Jose Water Company will be allowed to adopt interim rates, effective January 1, 2013, until a decision is adopted.

On August 27, 2010, CLWSC filed a rate case with the TCEQ. The filing contained a request for an immediate increase in revenue of 38% and a total increase of 71%. The new rates (38%) became effective on October 27, 2010. CLWSC is also requesting the TCEQ for a rate base determination. A rate base determination entails verification of plant to be included in rate base by TCEQ staff. Evidentiary hearings on these matters were conducted in March 2012 and in August 2012, and a TCEQ decision is expected sometime in the first quarter of 2013. Until final approval by the TCEQ, the 38% rate increase in October 2010 is subject to adjustment or refund.

Liquidity:

Cash Flow from Operating Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, SJW Corp. generated cash flows from operations of approximately $57,400, compared to $49,000 for the same period in 2011. Cash flow from operations is primarily generated by net income from its revenue producing activities, adjusted for non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes and changes in working capital items. Cash flow from operations increased by approximately $8,400. This increase was caused by a combination of the following factors: (1) collections of previously billed and accrued receivables, including the regulatory asset recorded in other current asset, increased by $2,600, (2) net collection of taxes receivable was $2,000 more than the prior period, and (3) general working capital and postretirement changes caused a $3,800 increase.

As of September 30, 2012, Water Utility Services’ write-offs for uncollectible accounts represent less than 1% of its total revenue, unchanged from September 30, 2011. Management believes it can continue to collect its accounts receivable balances at its historical collection rate.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, SJW Corp. used approximately $67,700 of cash for company funded capital expenditures, $4,200 for developer funded capital expenditures, and $2,000 for acquisitions. Proceeds from the sale of SJW Land Company's real estate investment in Florida provided cash proceeds of $5,500.

Water Utility Services’ budgeted capital expenditures for 2012, exclusive of capital expenditures financed by customer contributions and advances, are $99,800. Included in this amount is $13,500 related to reinvestment in utility plant associated with CPUC Resolution L-411A. As of September 30, 2012, approximately $67,700 or 68% of the $99,800 has been spent.

Water Utility Services’ capital expenditures are incurred in connection with normal upgrading and expansion of existing facilities and to comply with environmental regulations. Over the next five years, Water Utility Services expects to incur approximately $579,000 in capital expenditures, which includes replacement of pipes and mains, and maintaining water systems. This amount is subject to CPUC and TCEQ approval. In addition, San Jose Water Company requested the CPUC’s approval of upgrades to San Jose Water Company’s 40-year old Montevina Water Treatment Plant. The total planned project cost is $73,500 over the next four years. A decision on the application is expected in 2013. Capital expenditures have the effect of increasing utility plant on which Water Utility Services earns a return. Water Utility Services actual capital expenditures may vary from their projections due to changes in the expected demand for services, weather patterns, actions by governmental agencies, and general economic conditions. Total additions to utility plant normally exceed Company-financed additions as a result of new facilities construction funded with advances from developers and contributions in aid of construction.

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

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 decreased by approximately $53,000 from the same period in the prior year, primarily as a result of not obtaining additional financing in 2012.

Sources of Capital:

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

San Jose Water Company’s financing activity is designed to achieve a capital structure consistent with regulatory guidelines of approximately 49% debt and 51% equity. As of September 30, 2012, San Jose Water Company’s funded debt and equity were approximately 49% and 51%, respectively.

Company internally-generated funds, which include allowances for depreciation and deferred income taxes, have provided approximately 50% of the cash requirements for San Jose Water Company’s capital expenditures. Funding for its future capital expenditure program is expected to be provided primarily through internally-generated funds, the issuance of new long-term debt, the issuance of equity or the sale of all or part of our investment in California Water Service Group, all of which will be consistent with the regulator’s guidelines.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

SJW Corp. is subject to market risks in the normal course of business, including changes in interest rates, pension plan asset values, and equity prices. The exposure to changes in interest rates can result from the issuance of debt and short-term funds obtained through the Company’s variable rate lines of credit. San Jose Water Company sponsors a noncontributory pension plan for its employees. Pension costs and the funded status of the plan are affected by a number of factors including the discount rate and investment returns on plan assets. SJW Corp. also owned 385,120 shares of common stock of California Water Service Group as of September 30, 2012, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is therefore exposed to the risk of fluctuations and changes in equity prices.

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

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting during the third fiscal quarter of 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting of SJW Corp.
