     U.S. Federal Government. We are a major government contractor for systems engineering and technical assistance, and operations and maintenance, providing services to the Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, Justice, Energy and Treasury, the Environmental Protection Agency, NASA, the United States Postal Service and the General Services Administration. Following a steady decline in uniformed and civilian personnel levels throughout the 1990s, the Department of Defense has used contractors for large, multi-service government outsourcing contracts in support of military operations. Our revenues from U.S. federal government agencies exclude revenues arising from federal grants or matching funds allocated to and passed through state and local government agencies. We serve U.S. federal government clients through both our URS and EG&G Divisions.

     State and Local Government. Our state and local government agency clients include various local municipalities, community planning boards, state and municipal departments of transportation and public works, transit authorities, water and wastewater authorities, environmental protection agencies, school boards and authorities, judiciary agencies, public hospitals and airport authorities. In the United States, substantially all spending for infrastructure – transportation facilities, public buildings and water and wastewater systems – is coordinated through these agencies. Our revenues from state and local governments include revenues arising from federal grants or matching funds provided to state and local government agencies. Our state and local government clients are primarily served by the URS Division.

     Private Industry. Our private industry clients include various Fortune 500 clients, many with international operations, from a broad range of industries, including chemical, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, power, manufacturing, mining and forest products. Over the past several years, many of these companies have reduced the number of service providers they use, selecting larger, multi-service contractors with international operations in order to control overhead costs. Our private industry clients are served primarily through the URS Division.

Competition

     Our industry is highly fragmented and intensely competitive. Our competitors are numerous, ranging from small private firms to multi-billion dollar public companies. The technical and professional aspects of our services generally do not require large upfront capital expenditures and therefore provide limited barriers against new competitors. Some of our competitors have achieved greater market penetration in some of the markets in which we compete and have substantially more financial resources and/or financial flexibility than we do. To our knowledge, no individual company currently dominates any significant portion of our markets. Competition in our industry is based on quality of performance, reputation, expertise, price, technology, customer relationships, range of service offerings, and domestic and international office networks.

     We believe that we are well positioned to compete in our markets because of our solid reputation, our long-term client relationships, our extensive network of offices and our broad range of services. We are one of the largest engineering design services firms worldwide and a major U.S. federal government contractor for operations and maintenance services. We provide a comprehensive portfolio of services ranging from engineering planning and design to operations and maintenance. In addition, as a result of our national and international presence of approximately 300 principal offices and contract-specific job sites, we can offer our governmental and private clients localized knowledge and expertise that is backed by the support of our worldwide professional staff.

     Backlog. Our contract backlog consists of the amount billable at a particular point in time for future services under signed contracts, including task orders that are actually issued and funded under IDCs. Our consolidated contract backlog was $3,822.7 million and $3,661.8 million at October 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

     Designations. Our clients often designate us as the recipient of future contracts. These “designations” are projects that clients have awarded to us, but for which we do not yet have signed contracts. We estimate total consolidated designations to be $1,333.4 million at October 31, 2004, as compared to $1,150.2 million at October 31, 2003.

     Option Years. A significant portion of the EG&G Division’s contracts are multi-year contracts with a base period plus option years. The base periods of these contracts can vary from one to five years. The option years are exercised at the option of our clients without requiring us to go through an additional competitive bidding process and would only be canceled in a termination for default scenario or if a client decided to end the project. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, the estimated values of the option years on our contracts were $1,367.2 million and $1,357.7 million, respectively.

     Indefinite Delivery Contracts. Indefinite delivery contracts are signed contracts under which we perform work only when the client issues specific task orders. Generally, the terms of these contracts exceed one year and often include a maximum term and potential value. Indefinite delivery contracts generally range from one to twenty years in length. When such task orders are signed and funded, we transfer their value into backlog. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, the estimated remaining values of our consolidated indefinite delivery contracts were $3,549.7 million and $2,893.3 million, respectively.

Table of Contents

     While the value of our book of business is a predictor of future revenues, we have no assurance, nor can we provide assurance that we will ultimately realize the maximum potential values for backlog, designations, option years or indefinite delivery contracts. Based on our historical experience, our backlog has the highest likelihood of being converted into revenues since we have signed contracts with our clients. Although there is a high probability that our designations will eventually convert into revenues, they are not as certain as backlog since our clients have not yet signed a contract with us. Due to the nature of option years, which are exercisable at the option of our clients, the likelihood of their conversion into revenues is lower than that of backlog, but higher than that of designations since we have a signed contract with the client and do not need to go through a competitive bidding process to obtain the option on the contract. Because we do not perform work under IDCs until specific task orders are issued, the value of our IDCs are not as likely to convert into revenues as other categories of our book of business.

Acquisitions

     Over the past several years, we have made several strategic acquisitions in order to diversify our client base, increase the range of services we offer and expand the markets we serve. Our most recent acquisition occurred in August 2002 when we acquired EG&G. EG&G provided planning, operations and maintenance, systems engineering and technical assistance, and program management services to the U.S. federal government, particularly the Department of Defense. The EG&G acquisition expanded our federal client base and diversified the range of services we provide, particularly for Department of Defense agencies.

History

     We were originally incorporated in California on May 1, 1957 under the former name of Broadview Research Corporation. On March 28, 1974, we changed our name to URS Corporation. On May 18, 1976, we re-incorporated in Delaware. Since then, we have implemented several name changes as a result of mergers and acquisitions. On February 21, 1990, we changed our name back to URS Corporation.

Regulations

     We provide services for contracts that are subject to government oversight, including environmental laws and regulations, general government procurement laws and regulations, and other government regulations and requirements. For more information on risks associated with our government regulations, please refer to the section, “Risk Factors That Could Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of this report.

     Environmental. A portion of our business involves the planning, design, program and construction management and operation and maintenance of pollution control facilities, as well as the assessment, design and management of remediation activities at hazardous waste or Superfund sites and military bases. In addition, we contract with U.S. governmental entities to destroy hazardous materials, including chemical agents and weapons stockpiles. These activities require us to manage, handle, remove, treat, transport and dispose of toxic or hazardous substances.

     Some environmental laws including the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, or RCRA, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or CERCLA, as well as other governmental laws can impose liability for the entire cost of the clean-up of contaminated facilities or sites upon present and former owners and operators as well as generators, transporters and persons arranging for the treatment or disposal of such substances. In addition, while we strive to handle hazardous and toxic substances with care and in accordance with safe methods, the possibility of accidents, leaks, spills and the events of force majeure always exist. Humans exposed to these materials, including workers or subcontractors engaged in the transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, and persons in affected areas may be injured or become ill, resulting in lawsuits that expose us to liability and may result in substantial damage awards against us. Liabilities for contamination or human exposure to hazardous or toxic materials or a failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in substantial costs to us, including clean-up costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third party claims for property damage or personal injury, or cessation of remediation activities.

Table of Contents

     Some of our business operations are covered by Public Law 85-804, which provides for government indemnification against claims and damages arising out of unusually hazardous activities performed at the request of the government. Due to changes in public policies and law, however, government indemnification may not be available in the case of any future claims or liabilities relating to other hazardous activities that we undertake to perform.

     Government Procurement. The services we provide to the U.S. federal government are subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation, the Truth in Negotiations Act, the Cost Accounting Standards, the Service Contract Act, Department of Defense security regulations and other rules and regulations applicable to government contracts. These laws and regulations affect how we transact business with our government clients and in some instances, impose added costs to our business operations. A violation of specific laws and regulations could lead to fines, contract termination or suspension of future contracts. Our government clients can also terminate or modify any of their contracts with us at their convenience, and many of our government contracts are subject to renewal or extension annually.

     Other regulations and requirements. We provide services to the U.S. Department of Defense and other defense-related entities, which require specialized professional qualifications and security clearances. In addition, as engineering design services professionals, we are subject to a variety of local, state and foreign licensing and permit requirements.

Sales and Marketing

     Our URS Division performs business development and sales activities primarily through our network of local offices around the world. For large, market-specific projects requiring diverse technical capabilities, we utilize the companywide resources of specific disciplines. This often involves coordinating marketing efforts on a regional, national or global level. Our EG&G Division performs business development and sales activities primarily through its Strategic Business Units, or SBUs, that addresses a specific market segment, such as flight services and training. In addition, our EG&G Division coordinates national marketing efforts on large projects and for multi-division or multi-SBU scope efforts. Over the past year, the URS Division and the EG&G Division have jointly pursued a number of homeland security projects, and have been successful in marketing EG&G’s technical capabilities to URS’ established state and local government clients.

Seasonality

     We experience seasonal trends in our business caused by the Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s holidays. Our revenues are typically lower during these times of the year because many of our clients’ employees as well as our own employees take vacations during these holidays, resulting in fewer billable hours worked on projects and thus lesser revenues recognized. In addition to the holidays, our business is affected similarly by the seasonal weather when some of our offices have to close temporarily due to severe winter and/or tropical storms.

Fiscal Year Change

     Effective January 1, 2005, we will begin reporting our financial results on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to December 31st, with interim quarters ending on the Fridays closest to March 31st, June 30th and September 30th. Our 2004 fiscal year began on November 1, 2003 and ended on October 31, 2004. The period from November 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004 will be treated as a transition period, for which we will file a transition report on Form 10-Q by February 9, 2005.

Raw Materials

     Our business is not heavily dependent on raw materials. Risks associated with the procurement of raw materials for our construction services projects are generally passed through to the clients. We do not foresee the lack of availability of raw materials as a factor that could have a material adverse effect on our business in the near term.

Insurance

     Currently, we have limits of $125 million per loss and $125 million in the aggregate annually for general liability, professional errors and omissions liability and contractor’s pollution liability insurance (in addition to other policies for some specific projects). These policies include self-insured claim retention amounts of $4 million, $5 million and $5 million, respectively. In some actions, parties are seeking damages, including punitive or treble damages that substantially exceed our insurance coverage or are not insured.

     Excess limits provided for these coverages are on a “claims made” basis, covering only claims actually made during the policy period currently in effect. Thus, if we do not continue to maintain these policies, we will have no coverage for claims made after the termination date – even for claims based on events that occurred during the term of coverage. We intend to maintain these policies; however, we may be unable to maintain existing coverage levels. We have maintained insurance without lapse for many years with limits in excess of losses sustained.

Employees

     As of October 31, 2004, we had approximately 24,100 full-time employees and 3,400 temporary or part-time workers. The URS Division and the EG&G Division employed approximately 15,900 and 11,600 persons (including temporary and part-time workers), respectively. At various times, we have employed up to several thousand workers on a temporary or part-time basis to meet our contractual obligations. Approximately 2,000 of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. These agreements are subject to amendment on various dates ranging from January 2005 to October 2009.

Available Information

     Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and amendments to those reports filed or furnished pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, are available free of charge on our web site at www.urscorp.com. These reports, and any amendments to these reports, are made available on our web site as soon as reasonably practical after we electronically file or furnish the reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or “SEC”). The SEC also maintains a web site (www.sec.gov) containing reports, proxy and information statements, and other information that we filed with the SEC. In addition, our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the charters for our Audit, Board Affairs and Compensation Committees, and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics are available on our web site at www.urscorp.com/corp_governance and a printed copy of this information is available without charge by sending a written request to: Corporate Secretary, URS Corporation, 600 Montgomery Street, 26th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94111-2728.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

     As of October 31, 2004, we had approximately 350 facility leases in locations throughout the world. The lease terms range from a minimum of one year to a maximum of 25 years with options for renewal, expansions, contraction and termination, sublease rights and allowances for improvements. Our significant lease agreements expire at various dates through the year 2014. We believe that our current facilities are sufficient for the operation of our business and that suitable additional space in various local markets is available to accommodate any needs that may arise.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

     Various legal proceedings are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries alleging, among other things, breach of contract or tort in connection with the performance of professional services, the outcome of which cannot be predicted with certainty. See Note 8, “Commitments and Contingencies” to our “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included under Item 8 of this report for a discussion of some of these legal proceedings. In some actions, parties are seeking damages, including punitive or treble damages that substantially exceed our insurance coverage.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those described here. You should read this section in conjunction with the section, “Risk Factors That Could Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” beginning on page 41 and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in Item 8, “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of this report.

Overview

Business Summary

     We are one of the world’s largest engineering design services firms and a major federal government contractor for systems engineering and technical assistance, and operations and maintenance services. Our business focuses primarily on providing fee-based professional and technical services in the engineering and construction services and defense markets, although we perform some construction work. As a service company, we are labor and not capital intensive. We derive income from our ability to generate revenues and collect cash from our clients through the billing of our employees’ time and our ability to manage our costs. We operate our business through two segments: the URS Division and the EG&G Division.

     Our revenues are driven by our ability to attract qualified and productive employees, identify business opportunities, allocate our labor resources to profitable markets, secure new contracts, renew existing client agreements and provide outstanding services. Moreover, as a professional services company, the quality of the work generated by our employees is integral to our revenue generation.

     Our costs are driven primarily by the compensation we pay to our employees, including fringe benefits, the cost of hiring subcontractors and other project-related expenses and administrative, marketing, sales, bid and proposal, rental and other overhead costs.

Fiscal Year 2004 Revenues

     Revenues from our federal government clients for fiscal year 2004 increased approximately 16% compared with the previous year. This increase reflects growth in the services we provided to the Department of Defense or DOD and the Department of Homeland Security or DHS, as we continued to benefit from additional military spending on engineering and technical services and operations and maintenance activities. As a result of the heightened military operations in the Middle East, our work to repair, maintain and upgrade military equipment increased. This work was primarily performed in the United States, under existing outsourcing contracts. We also saw an increase in our work to design and upgrade defense systems. Our services to the DHS grew, with an increased volume of work under contracts with the U.S. Customs Service, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and a new contract with the U.S. Coast Guard. In addition, we continued to benefit from increased task orders issued under Indefinite Delivery Contracts, or IDCs, with the federal government for facilities and environmental projects.

     Revenues from our state and local government clients for fiscal year 2004 were flat compared with last year. This market continued to be affected by the budget deficits that state and local governments have faced over the past two years. However, the state and local government market stabilized during fiscal year 2004 and we began to see selected pockets of growth emerge in some parts of the country, particularly in the Southeast. However, the West, particularly California, and the Midwest remained weak, with spending or capital projects significantly below historic levels. In addition, the delays surrounding the passage of a replacement bill for the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, or TEA-21, caused the postponement of a number of projects. Our ability to shift resources to airport and educational facility projects helped us mitigate the downturn in other portions of the state and local government market.

     Revenues from our domestic private industry clients for fiscal year 2004 decreased approximately 10% compared with fiscal year 2003. Market conditions continued to be challenging for many of our multinational clients, and capital spending was constrained. Some portions of the private industry market, including power and oil and gas, began to recover during 2004. However, other portions of the private industry market, such as manufacturing and the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, remained weak. The decline in revenues from our domestic private industry clients reflected that continuing weakness. Our revenues decline from our domestic private industry clients was partially offset by revenues generated through our Master Service Agreements contracts, or MSAs, with multinational companies. In addition, our revenues from the design and implementation of air pollution control systems on coal fired power plants increased as a result of stricter emissions control regulations.

     Revenues from our international clients for fiscal year 2004 increased approximately 19% compared with fiscal year 2003. Approximately 10% of the increase was due to foreign currency exchange fluctuations and approximately 9% was due to growth in our businesses, primarily surface and air transportation projects in Australia and New Zealand, and facilities and environmental projects in Europe.

Cash Flows, Debt and Equity

     We generated $109.3 million in net cash provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. During fiscal year 2004, we completed a public stock offering by selling 8.1 million shares of our common stock at $26.50 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $204.3 million, after underwriting discounts and commissions. We used the proceeds from this public stock offering plus borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility (“Credit Facility”) and cash on hand to redeem $260.0 million of our 11 1/2% notes and 12 1/4% notes and to pay $19.7 million in related call premiums. As a result of the redemptions, we recognized a pre-tax charge of $28.2 million during the fiscal year consisting of $19.7 million for call premiums and the write-off of $8.5 million in unamortized financing fees, issuance costs and debt discounts.

     By issuing common stock and redeeming a portion of our long-term debt, we reduced our ratio of debt to total capitalization (total debt divided by the sum of debt, preferred stock and total stockholders’ equity) from 52% at October 31, 2003 to 34% at October 31, 2004. (See “Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows” in our “Consolidated Financial Statements” included under Item 8 of this report.)

Fiscal Year 2005 Trends

     We expect revenue growth from our federal government clients to remain strong in fiscal year 2005, based on anticipated spending by the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security. Operations in the Middle East are expected to generate increased work related to the development of weapons systems, the training of military pilots, and the maintenance, upgrade and repair of military vehicles. Revenues from the homeland security market are also expected to increase, particularly from preparedness training exercises and the design of security improvements for federal buildings and key components of this country’s infrastructure. However, in fiscal year 2005 we do not expect to achieve the 16% revenue growth that we recorded during fiscal year 2004, since the expected growth for fiscal year 2005 is incremental to fiscal year 2004 revenues.

     We expect the state budget situation to continue to improve moderately during fiscal year 2005. All states achieved balanced budgets for their 2005 fiscal years, and most states have realized increased revenues from sales and income taxes. However, budgets for fiscal year 2006 will not be approved until June for most states. This, combined with the delays in passage of a successor bill to the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, or TEA-21, lead us to believe that growth in this market will not occur until the second half of fiscal year 2005. Some revenue growth may be achieved through transportation projects funded by bond and tax measures passed in the November, 2004 election. In addition, funding from the Vision-100 program (the successor bill to AIR-21) and from airport user fees are expected to lead to an increase in airport revenues.

     Revenues from the private industry market are expected to increase slightly during fiscal year 2005. Most of our private sector, multinational clients are not expected to significantly increase their domestic capital spending for environmental and engineering projects in 2005. In spite of continuing weakness in the private industry market, we

expect revenue growth opportunities in fiscal year 2005 from the work we expect to perform under MSAs. In addition, in response to stricter emissions control regulations associated with the Clean Air Act, we expect to see increased activity in the design and implementation of air pollution control systems on coal-fired power plants. Overall, we expect revenues from our domestic private industry clients to be consistent with 2004 levels or grow modestly in fiscal year 2005.

     Excluding the effect of foreign currency fluctuations, we expect continued revenue growth in our international business due to growth in surface transportation, facilities and environmental projects in our Asia Pacific and European operations during fiscal year 2005.

Consolidated

     Our consolidated revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 increased by 6.1%, compared with the same period last year. The increase in our revenues was primarily due to a higher volume of work performed for our federal government and international clients. This increase was offset by a decrease in revenues from our domestic private industry clients. The following table presents our consolidated revenues by client type for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2004 and 2003.

     Revenues from our federal government clients for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 increased by 16% compared with the same period last year. This increase was driven by a higher level of activity under contracts with the DOD and the DHS. Due to the heightened military operations tempo, our work under existing outsourcing contracts to repair and maintain military equipment increased. Our services with the DHS have grown, with an increased volume of work under contracts with the U.S. Customs Service, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and a new contract with the U.S. Coast Guard. We also continued to benefit from increased task orders issued under federal government IDCs for facilities and environmental projects, and from increased spending on homeland security projects.

     The majority of our work in the state and local government, the domestic private industry and the international sectors is derived from our URS Division. Further discussion of the factors and activities that drove changes in operations on a segment basis for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 can be found beginning on page 23.

     Our consolidated direct operating expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, which consisted of direct labor, subcontractor costs and other direct expenses, increased by 6.8% compared with the same period last year. Our increased revenues drove an increase in our direct operating expenses. In addition, volume increases in work on existing contracts with lower profit margins caused direct operating expenses to increase faster than revenues.

     Our consolidated gross profit for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 increased by 5.1% compared with the same period last year, primarily due to the increase of our revenue volume described previously. Our gross margin percentage, however, fell from 37.1% to 36.7%. The decrease in gross profit margin percentage was caused by a change in revenue mix with significant volume increases coming from contracts with profit margins that were lower than the average profit margin achieved through our historical portfolio of contracts.

     Our consolidated indirect, general and administrative (“IG&A”) expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 increased by 7.9%, compared with the same period last year. We incurred $28.2 million of costs related to the extinguishment of debt during fiscal year 2004. Our employee benefits, including our healthcare, workers’ compensation and pension-related costs, increased by $40.8 million primarily because of the increased number of employees necessary to perform the services required by the overall increase in the volume of our revenue generating activities, and increase in healthcare costs, workers’ compensation expenses and pension-related benefits. Bad debt expense increased by $6.0 million because we provided allowances against receivables that have not yet been collected as the economy weakened. The increased volume of work also has increased other variable indirect, general and administrative expenses, such as office supplies and miscellaneous equipment rental and purchases, by $4.9 million. In addition, our travel expenses increased by $7.2 million due to increased travel related to sales and business development efforts and increased airfare costs.

     Our consolidated net interest expense for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 decreased due to the redemption of $260.0 million of our 11 1/2% notes and 12 1/4% notes and other repayments of our long-term debt.

     Our effective income tax rates for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 decreased to 39.1% from 40.0% in fiscal year 2003, primarily due to a one-time adjustment to the tax-basis of the purchase price of EG&G.

     Our consolidated operating income, net income and earnings per share resulted from the factors previously described.

URS Division

     The URS Division’s revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 decreased slightly compared with the same period last year. This decrease was due to a decline in revenues from domestic private industry clients. This decline was offset by revenue growth from our federal government clients, the effects of foreign currency exchange rates and revenue growth in our international business.

     Revenues from our federal government clients in the URS Division for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 increased by 6% compared with the same period last year. This increase was driven by growth in environmental and facilities projects for federal clients as well as an increased volume of work providing program and construction management services for DOD agencies. Revenues from homeland security projects also contributed to this growth as we continued to provide a range of engineering services to the DHS.

     Revenues from our state and local government clients for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 were flat compared with the same period last year. Our revenues continued to be affected by the budget deficits that state and local government faced over the past two years. However, this market stabilized during fiscal year 2004 as we began to see pockets of strength emerge in some parts of the country. Spending in the Southeastern states has returned nearly to pre-2001 levels and Florida, Georgia, Texas and Maryland, have showed some signs of recovery. However, the West, particularly California, and the Midwest remained weak, with spending for capital projects significantly below historic levels. In addition, the continuing delay in the passage of the successor bill to TEA-21 contributed to the delay of several major transportation projects. We have mitigated some of these unfavorable conditions by our strategy to shift resources away from surface transportation projects to other portions of the state and local government market, such as water/wastewater, air transportation, and facilities, where funding is more stable or growing.

     Revenues from our domestic private industry clients for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 decreased by approximately 10% compared with the same period last year. Many of our private sector clients continued to struggle during fiscal year 2004, resulting in constrained spending on capital projects. Some portions of this market, including power and oil and gas, began to recover during 2004. However, other portions of the private sector, such as the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, remained weak. Our strategic focus of the past several years to win MSAs contracts with major domestic private industry clients in the oil and gas, manufacturing and power sectors helped to offset the decline in revenues in this part of the business. Stricter air pollution control regulations under the Clean Air Act, which has resulted in increased revenues from emissions control projects at power plants, has also helped to offset the decline in our private sector revenues.

     Revenues from our international clients for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 increased by 19% compared with the same period last year. Approximately 10% of the increase was due to foreign currency exchange fluctuations and 9% was due to growth in our Asia Pacific and European regions. The revenue growth in the Asia Pacific region was due to increases in surface and air transportation projects in Australia and New Zealand, driven in part by improvements in the respective country’s economies. The revenue growth in Europe was due to increases in facilities and environmental projects for the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense and the U.S. Department of Defense.

     The URS Division’s direct operating expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 decreased by 2.0% compared with the same period last year. This was due to a decrease of $51.3 million in total subcontractor and other

24


Table of Contents

direct costs, which are comprised of travel, supplies and other incidental project costs, offset by an increase in direct labor of $23.6 million. The decrease in subcontractor costs and other direct costs was driven by the winding down of several large subcontracts and improved cost control on supplies and other incidental projects costs.

     The URS Division’s gross profit for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 increased by 2.6% compared with the same period last year. Our gross profit margin percentage increased to 41.2% from 40.1% for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Our gross profit margin percentage increased primarily because a greater percentage of our revenues were generated by direct labor, rather than subcontract or other direct costs during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 (46.0%), compared with the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 (43.3%). The use of our direct labor on the performance of our contracts generally generates higher profit margins than the use of subcontractors.

     The URS Division’s IG&A expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 increased by 3.0% compared with the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to increases of $22.0 million in employee benefits costs resulting primarily from healthcare costs, workers’ compensation expenses and pension-related benefits. Costs associated with employer taxes, employee recruitment and retention, and severance expenses also contributed to the increase in employee benefits costs.

   EG&G Division

     The EG&G Division’s revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 grew by 21.8% compared with the same period last year. This increase was driven by an overall growth in defense-related work, including the services required to refurbish and upgrade military equipment and systems. This work involved improvements to communications equipment, weapons systems, and engines on aircraft and ground vehicles such as tanks, high-mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicles and various armored personnel carriers. Homeland security revenues remained strong, with increased work in the design, development and conduct of security preparedness exercises around the country.

     The EG&G Division’s direct operating expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 increased by 25.5% compared with the same period last year. Direct operating expenses increased as revenues grew; however, there was more revenue growth from operations and maintenance contracts in fiscal year 2004 than fiscal year 2003. Since these contracts generated lower profit margins, direct operating expenses increased faster than revenues.

     The EG&G Division’s gross profit for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 increased $35.9 million over the previous year, reflecting the margins achieved through the revenue increases described above. The EG&G Division’s gross margin percentage decreased to 27.7% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 from 29.8% for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003. The decrease resulted from an increase in the volume of operations and maintenance and field-based services, which generally carry lower margins than the services typically provided by the EG&G Division. As a result, gross profit grew at a slower rate than revenues.

     The EG&G Division’s IG&A expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 increased by 12.6% compared with the same period last year. The increase in indirect expenses was primarily due to a higher business volume. The EG&G Division’s indirect expenses generally vary in nature and as such, an increased business volume typically results in increased indirect expenses. Employee benefits costs increased by approximately $20.7 million and other employee-related expenses, such as travel and recruiting expenses, increased by $6.4 million due to a higher employee headcount as a result of the increased volume of work. In fiscal year 2004, there was also an increase of $4.5 million in indirect expenses not reimbursable under U.S. government contracts. These increases were offset by a $3.7 million decrease in pension costs, $2.8 million of which was the result of the EG&G pension plan amendment and $0.9 million of which was the result of a higher than expected return on pension plan assets for fiscal year 2004 compared with fiscal year 2003. Indirect expenses as a percentage of revenues decreased to 22.8% from 24.7% for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, due to an increase in labor utilization as explained above.

Consolidated

     Our consolidated revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 increased by 31.3%, compared with fiscal year 2002. As discussed in more detail below, the increase in revenues was due to the inclusion of EG&G results for a full year in fiscal year 2003 compared to only 10 weeks for fiscal year 2002. The remaining increase was attributable to revenue growth from our federal government clients. This increase was offset by a decrease in revenues from our state and local government clients and private industry clients as a result of their significant reduction in spending. The following table presents our consolidated revenues by client type for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2003 and 2002.

     Revenues from our federal government clients for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 increased by 131% compared with fiscal year 2002. Of the $790.0 million increase in revenues from our federal government sources, approximately $741.2 million was due to the inclusion of a full year of EG&G results in fiscal year 2003 compared to only 10 weeks in fiscal year 2002. The remaining increase was driven by our growth in the defense, homeland security, operations and maintenance, environmental services and research, development, test and evaluation areas.

     The majority of our work in the state and local government, the domestic private industry and the international sectors is derived from our URS Division. Further discussion of the factors and activities that drove

changes in operations on a segment basis for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 can be found beginning on pages 28.

     Our consolidated direct operating expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003, which consist of direct labor, subcontractor costs and other direct expenses, increased by 34.6% compared with fiscal year 2002. $507.1 million of the increase was due to the inclusion of a full year of EG&G direct operating expenses in fiscal year 2003 compared to only 10 weeks in fiscal year 2002. The remaining increase was attributable to increased costs associated with the increased revenues from our federal government clients, offset by decreased costs incurred from projects for our state and local government and private industry clients.

     Our consolidated gross profit for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 increased by 25.9% compared with fiscal year 2002. $234.1 million of the increase in gross profit was due to the inclusion of a full year of EG&G’s gross profit in fiscal year 2003 compared to only 10 weeks in fiscal year 2002. The remaining increase was mainly attributable to the increased gross profit from our federal government clients, offset by a decrease in gross profit from our state and local and private industry clients, as discussed below in the URS Division section. Gross margin percentage, however, fell from 38.7% to 37.1%. The primary cause of this margin percentage shrinkage was the change of revenue mix, which incorporated the generally lower profit margins on our EG&G Division’s contracts.

     Our consolidated IG&A expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 increased by 26.5% compared with fiscal year 2002. $193.8 million of the increase in IG&A expenses was a result of the inclusion of a full year of EG&G’s IG&A expenses in fiscal year 2003 compared to only 10 weeks of expenses in fiscal year 2002. The remaining $15.6 million increase in IG&A expenses was due to increases of $30.9 million in benefits, legal, consulting fees and temporary labor, rental, bad debt, insurance expenses, amortization of purchased intangible assets, and depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the implementation of our new ERP (see “Enterprise Resource Program” discussed on page 35 of this report). These increases were offset by $15.3 million of decreases in indirect labor, sales and business development, utilities, loss on extinguishment of debt and travel expenses. The conversion of our Series D Preferred Stock into common stock constituted a change in control as defined under the terms of our employment arrangements with some executives resulting in the accelerated vesting of restricted common stock previously granted, which increased benefit expenses by $2.5 million.

     Our consolidated net interest expense for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 increased by 50.1% due to the additional indebtedness incurred with the EG&G acquisition.

     Our effective income tax rates for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2003 and 2002 were approximately 40.0% and 39.5%, respectively.

     Our consolidated operating income, net income and earnings per share resulted from the factors previously described.

URS Division

     The URS Division’s revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 increased by 0.8% compared with fiscal year 2002. This increase was mainly due to revenue growth from our federal government clients, the effect of foreign currency exchange fluctuations and minor revenue growth from our transportation business in the United Kingdom. The effect of revenue growth from the factors previously described was mostly offset by a decrease in revenues from our state and local government and private industry clients, as discussed below.

     Revenues from our federal government clients for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 increased by 12%, compared with fiscal year 2002. The increase was driven by our growth in the defense, homeland security, operations and maintenance, environmental services and research, development, test and evaluation areas.

     Revenues from our state and local government clients for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 decreased by 2%, compared with fiscal year 2002. Although significant state and local budget deficits caused a reduction in revenues from our state and local government clients in fiscal year 2003 compared with fiscal year 2002, several factors mitigated the impact of this decrease on our results, including the gradual stabilization of state tax revenues, the use of alternate means to finance infrastructure projects, our ability to shift resources to growth areas where funding is stable or growing, such as schools, and increased activity in our aviation and water/wastewater businesses.

     Revenues from our domestic private industry clients for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 decreased by 6%, compared with fiscal year 2002. Revenues from our domestic private industry clients continue to be affected by reduced levels of capital spending and cost-cutting measures by these clients, as well as pressures exerted by them on our margins. These downward trends were partially offset by increases in revenues generated by the power sector and increased activity under our growing number of MSAs.

     Revenues from our international clients for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 increased by 17%, compared with fiscal year 2002. The increase was due to foreign currency exchange fluctuations and minor growth in our European region. The revenue growth in Europe was due to increases in transportation projects in the United Kingdom.

     The URS Division’s direct operating expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 increased by 0.7%, compared with fiscal year 2002. This increase was mainly due to increases in our revenues as a result of the factors discussed above.

     The URS Division’s gross profit for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 increased by 1.0%, compared with fiscal year 2002. The increase was attributable to the factors that drove net revenue growth, as previously described.

     The URS Division’s IG&A expenses for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 increased by 1.7%, compared with fiscal year 2002. A total of $23.1 million was mainly attributed to increases in depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the implementation of our new ERP, as well as increases in benefits, consulting fees, temporary labor, rent, legal, insurance, and bad debt expenses. These increases were offset by $10.8 million of decreases in indirect labor, sales and business development, utilities and travel expenses. Net interest expense for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 increased by $1.0 million due to the additional capital lease obligations and indebtedness incurred with the implementation of our new ERP.

EG&G Division

     The overall increases in revenues and expenses for the EG&G Division for fiscal year 2003, compared with fiscal year 2002, was due to the inclusion of a full year of the EG&G Division’s results in fiscal 2003, compared to only 10 weeks in fiscal year 2002.

Proceeds from common stock offering, net of related expenses
    204.3              

     Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, borrowings under the credit line from our Credit Facility and, during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, a public common stock offering. Our primary uses of cash are to fund our working capital and capital expenditures and to service and redeem our debt. We believe that we have sufficient resources to fund our operating and capital expenditure requirements, as well as service and redeem our debt, for the next 12 months and beyond. If we were to experience a significant change in our business such as the consummation of an acquisition, we would likely need to acquire additional sources of financing. We believe that we would be able to obtain adequate resources to address significant changes in our business at reasonable rates and terms, as necessary, based on our past experience with business acquisitions.

     We are dependent, however, on the cash flows generated by our subsidiaries and, consequently, on their ability to collect on their respective accounts receivables. Specifically:

  •   Substantially all of our cash flows are generated by our subsidiaries. As a result, the funds necessary to meet our debt service obligations are provided in large part by distributions or advances from our subsidiaries. The financial condition and operational requirements of our subsidiaries may limit our ability to obtain cash from them. See further discussion at Note 14, “Supplemental Guarantor Information” to our “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included under Item 8 of this report.
 
  •   Billings and collections on accounts receivable can impact our operating cash flows. Management places significant emphasis on collection efforts, has assessed the allowance accounts for receivables as of October 31, 2004 and has deemed them to be adequate; however, future economic conditions may adversely impact some of our clients’ ability to pay our bills or the timeliness of their payments. Consequently, it may also impact our ability to consistently collect cash from them to meet our operating needs.

Operating Activities

     The reduction in cash flows from operations for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, compared with the same period last year, was primarily due to the following factors:

  •   During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2002, we converted a legacy accounting system to a new ERP system. The conversion caused a delay in project billings and as a result, our accounts receivable

30


Table of Contents

      increased at the end of fiscal year 2002. During fiscal year 2003, we collected a higher than normal amount of cash compared to previous operating periods by catching up on the collection of those delayed billings.
 
  •   Increases in employee benefit costs.
 
  •   The timing and increased amounts of our income tax payments resulted in a higher level of payment during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 compared with the same period last year.

Investing Activities

     As a professional services organization, we are not capital intensive. Our capital expenditures have historically been primarily for computer-aided design, accounting and project management information systems, and general purpose computer equipment to accommodate our growth. Capital expenditures, excluding purchases financed through capital leases, during fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $19.0 million, $18.2 million and $53.4 million, respectively.

Financing Activities

     Net cash used by financing activities decreased by $68.8 million for fiscal year 2004 compared with the same period last year due to the following major factors:

  •   net proceeds generated from our public common stock offering of $204.3 million;
 
  •   an increase of $8.8 million in proceeds from the sale of our common stock from the employee stock purchase plan and the exercise of employee stock options, resulting from the increase in our common stock price; offset by
 
  •   payments of $19.7 million in call premiums and payments of $2.9 million in financing fees; and
 
  •   an increase in net debt payments and redemptions of $121.7 million.

     Fiscal 2004 Compared with Fiscal 2003. During fiscal year 2004, we repaid approximately $29.0 million on our Credit Facility, $70.0 million on our 11 1/2% notes, $190.0 million on our 12 1/4% notes, $5.1 million on note payables, and $14.6 million on capital lease obligations. We also retired the $6.5 million outstanding balance of our 8 5/8 % senior subordinated debentures (“8 5/8 % debentures”). During the same period, we borrowed an additional $25.0 million on our Term Loan B under our Credit Facility and drew $5.2 million on our revolving line of credit. In addition, we borrowed $11.1 million under capital lease obligations for equipment purchases and $3.1 million from notes payable and paid $2.9 million for financing fees as a result of amending our Credit Facility.

     During fiscal year 2004, we sold an aggregate of 8.1 million shares of our common stock through an underwritten public offering. The offering price of our common stock was $26.50 per share and we received total offering proceeds of $204.3 million, net of $10.5 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering-related expenses. We used the net proceeds from this common stock offering plus the borrowings under our Credit Facility and cash available on hand to redeem $70.0 million of our 11 1/2% notes and $190.0 million of our 12 1/4% notes. As a result of these redemptions, we recognized a pre-tax charge of $28.2 million during our fiscal year 2004 consisting of the write-off of $8.5 million in unamortized financing fees, debt issuance costs and debt discounts and payments of $19.7 million for call premiums.

     Fiscal 2003 Compared with Fiscal 2002. The decrease in cash flows from financing activities for fiscal year 2003 compared to fiscal year 2002 was primarily due to the issuance of long-term debt and net borrowings on the line of credit in fiscal year 2002, offset by the increase in long-term debt payments, resulting from the retirement of the old credit facility. In fiscal year 2003, we repaid $27.3 million on our revolving line of credit, $16.0 million in scheduled debt payments and $101.2 million of discretionary debt payments on our Credit Facility and $14.6 million in payments on capital lease obligations. In addition, we borrowed $15.7 million under capital lease obligations for equipment purchases.

(2)   These pension funding requirements are for the EG&G pension plans based on actuarially determined estimates and management assumptions. We chose not to make estimates beyond one year based on a variety of factors, including amounts required by local laws and regulations, and other funding requirements.
 
(3)   Purchase obligations consist primarily of software maintenance contracts.
 
(4)   These operating leases are predominantly real estate leases.

     Off-balance Sheet Arrangements. The following is a list of our off-balance sheet arrangements:

  •   As of October 31, 2004, we had a total available balance of $56.1 million in standby letters of credit under our Credit Facility. Letters of credit are used primarily to support insurance programs, bonding arrangements, and real estate leases. We are required to reimburse the issuers of letters of credit for any payments they make under the outstanding letters of credit. The Credit Facility covers the issuance of our standby letters of credit and is critical for our normal operations. If we default on this Credit Facility, our ability to issue or renew standby letters of credit would impair our ability to maintain normal operations.
 
  •   We have guaranteed the credit facility of one of our joint ventures, in the event of a default by the joint venture. This joint venture was formed in the ordinary course of business to perform a contract for the federal government. The term of the guarantee is equal to the remaining term of the underlying debt, which is 16 months. The maximum potential amount of future payments, which we could have been required to make under this guarantee at October 31, 2004, was $6.5 million.
 
  •   From time to time, we have provided guarantees related to our services or work. If our services under a guaranteed project are later determined to have resulted in a material defect or other material deficiency, then we may be responsible for monetary damages or other legal remedies. When sufficient information about claims on guaranteed projects is available and monetary

32


Table of Contents

      damages or other costs or losses are determined to be probable, we recognize such guarantee losses. Currently, we have no guarantee claims for which losses have been recognized.
 
  •   We have an agreement to indemnify one of our joint venture lenders up to $25.0 million for any potential losses and damages, and liabilities associated with lawsuits in relation to general and administrative services we provide to the joint venture.

     Our Senior Secured Credit Facility (“Credit Facility”) consists of two term loans, Term Loan A and Term Loan B, and a revolving line of credit. Borrowings under our Credit Facility bear interest at either a base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus, in each case, an interest rate margin that varies with our financial performance. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, we had $353.8 million and $357.8 million in principal amounts outstanding, respectively, under the term loan facilities. As of October 31, 2004, we had drawn $5.3 million on our revolving line of credit and had outstanding standby letters of credit aggregating to $56.1 million, reducing the amount available to us under our revolving credit facility to $163.6 million.

     Principal amounts under Term Loan A and Term Loan B became due and payable on a quarterly basis beginning January 31, 2003, with final payment due on August 22, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Our revolving credit facility will expire and be payable in full on August 22, 2007.

     We have amended our Credit Facility on six separate occasions. The first amendment, dated January 30, 2003, increased our maximum leverage ratios through January 31, 2004, and increased the interest rate margins by 0.25% on our Credit Facility, but also provided that if we achieved the original leverage ratio of 3.90:1 or less at October 31, 2003, the original interest rate margins would be restored. Because we achieved this ratio, the original interest rate margins were restored in January 2004. The second amendment, dated November 6, 2003, enabled us to repurchase and redeem our 11 1/2% notes, 12 1/4% notes and/or our 6 1/2% debentures with the entire proceeds of an equity issuance up to $220.0 million. The third amendment, dated December 16, 2003, reduced the interest rate margins on Term Loan B. The fourth amendment, dated March 29, 2004, increased the equity offering proceeds that could be used to repurchase or redeem our outstanding notes and debentures to $300.0 million and permitted us to borrow unsecured debt and/or use our revolving line of credit for this purpose if our leverage ratio was less than 2.50 after giving effect to the transaction. The fifth amendment, dated June 4, 2004, reduced the interest rate margins on our Credit Facility, upon attaining credit ratings of BB from Standard & Poor and Ba2 from Moody’s, to 1.0% for base rate borrowings and to 2.0% for Eurodollar borrowings. We also increased the credit limit on our revolving line of credit to $225.0 million and increased the outstanding amount of our Term Loan B by $25.0 million. The sixth amendment, dated November 29, 2004, permitted us to change our fiscal year to a calendar year.

     As of October 31, 2004, we were in compliance with all of our Credit Facility covenants.

     See further discussion at Note 5, “Current and Long-Term Debt” to our “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included under Item 8 of this report.

     Revolving Line of Credit. As a part of our Credit Facility, we maintain a revolving line of credit to fund daily operating cash needs and to support standby letters of credit. During the ordinary course of business, the use of the revolving line of credit is determined by collection and disbursement activities. Our daily cash needs follow a predictable pattern that typically parallels our payroll cycles, which drive, as necessary, our short-term borrowing requirements.

     Our average daily revolving line of credit balances for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 were $22.7 million and $20.5 million, respectively. The maximum amounts outstanding at any one point in time during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 were $74.6 million and $70.0 million, respectively.

     As of October 31, 2004, we had an outstanding balance of $5.3 million under our revolving line of credit. On October 31, 2003, we had no outstanding balance. The effective average interest rates paid on the revolving line of credit during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 were approximately 5.3% and 6.1%, respectively.

     11 1/2% Senior Notes. In August 2002, we issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount due at maturity of our 11 1/2% notes due 2009 for proceeds, net of $4.7 million of original issue discount, of approximately $195.3 million. Interest on our 11 1/2% notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2003. These notes are effectively subordinate to our Credit Facility, capital leases, notes payable and senior to our subordinated indebtedness, including our 12 1/4% notes and our 6 1/2% debentures described below. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, $130.0 million and $200.0 million of the notes were outstanding, respectively.

     See further discussion at Note 5, “Current and Long-Term Debt” to our “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included under Item 8 of this report.

     12 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, we had outstanding amounts of $10.0 million and $200.0 million, respectively, of our 12 1/4% notes due 2009. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. Our 12 1/4% notes are effectively subordinate to our Credit Facility, our 11 1/2% notes, capital leases and notes payable.

     See further discussion at Note 5, “Current and Long-Term Debt” to our “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included under Item 8 of this report.

     8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures.Our 8 5/8% debentures were retired on January 15, 2004. As of October 31, 2003, we owed $6.5 million on our 8 5/8% debentures.

     6 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures. Our 6 1/2% debentures are due in 2012 and are convertible into shares of our common stock at the rate of $206.30 per share. Interest on these debentures is payable semi-annually in February and August of each year. Sinking fund payments calculated to retire 70% of our 6 1/2% debentures prior to maturity began in February 1998. Our 6 1/2% debentures are subordinate to our Credit Facility, our 11 1/2% notes, capital leases and notes payable. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, we owed $1.8 million on our 6 1/2% debentures.

     Notes Payable, Foreign Credit Lines and other indebtedness. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, we had outstanding amounts of $8.8 million and $10.9 million in notes payable, respectively. Notes payable primarily include notes used to finance the purchase of office equipment, computer equipment and furniture. These notes typically have three-year to five-year initial terms with interest rates ranging from approximately 5% to 11%. The year-end weighted average interest rate was approximately 6.2% at October 31, 2004.

     We maintain foreign lines of credit, which are collateralized by the assets of our foreign subsidiaries. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, we had no outstanding balance and had $3.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, available under these foreign lines of credit.

     Capital Leases. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, we had $36.3 million and $39.8 million in obligations under our capital leases, respectively, consisting primarily of leases for office equipment, computer equipment and furniture.

     Operating Leases. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, we had approximately $450.1 million and $389.7 million, respectively, in obligations under our operating leases, consisting primarily of real estate leases.

Other Activities

     Related-Party Transactions. Some of our officers, directors and employees may have disposed of shares of our common stock, both in cashless transactions with us and in market transactions, in connection with exercises of stock options, the vesting of restricted and deferred stock and the payment of withholding taxes due with respect to such exercises and vesting. These officers, directors and employees may continue to dispose of shares of our common stock in this manner and for similar purposes.

     Derivative Financial Instruments. We are exposed to risk of changes in interest rates as a result of borrowings under our Credit Facility. During fiscal year 2004, we did not enter into any interest rate derivatives due to our assessment of the costs/benefits of interest rate hedging given the current low interest rate environment. However, we may enter into derivative financial instruments in the future depending on changes in interest rates.

     Enterprise Resource Program (“ERP”). During fiscal year 2001, we commenced a project to consolidate all of our accounting and project management information systems and convert to a new ERP system developed and marketed by PeopleSoft, Inc. As of January 1, 2005, approximately 60% of our total revenues were processed on this ERP system. We expect to convert substantially all of the remaining URS Division’s legacy systems over the next 12 months. Beginning in 2006, we intend to convert the EG&G Division’s accounting systems to the ERP system.

     Oracle Corporation acquired PeopleSoft Inc. in January 2005. It is possible that Oracle Corporation may discontinue further development, integration or long-term software maintenance support for our ERP system. Should such events occur, we will be required to seek alternatives to our existing ERP system.

     The capitalized costs of implementing our ERP system, including hardware, software licenses, consulting and internal staffing costs will be approximately $65.0 million, excluding the potential costs associated with the conversion of the EG&G Division’s accounting systems. As of October 31, 2004, we capitalized costs of approximately $58.8 million for this project, with the remaining costs to be incurred during fiscal year 2005. We have been financing a substantial portion of these costs through capital lease arrangements with various lenders. If, and to the extent, that financing cannot be obtained through capital leases, we will draw on our revolving line of credit as alternative financing for expenditures to be incurred for this project.

     Other Commitments. Consistent with industry practice, when performing environmental remediation or other services, we will at times provide a guarantee related to the materials, workmanship and fitness of a project site; however, we cannot estimate the amount of any guarantee until a determination has been made that a material defect has occurred.

Income Taxes

     As of October 31, 2004, we had available domestic net operating losses, or NOLs, for federal income tax purposes of $11.4 million. Utilization of the NOLs is limited pursuant to Section 1503 of the Internal Revenue Code and will be utilized against income of certain subsidiaries. $7.2 million of NOLs will be carried forward and will expire in fiscal year 2022 and $4.2 million of NOLs are available to be carried back for refund. We also have $16.6 million of foreign NOLs available, which expire at various dates. These foreign NOLs are available only to offset income earned in foreign jurisdictions.

     We have recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities. Our deferred tax assets arise from temporary differences in the recognition of accruals, primarily compensation-related accruals, available NOLs and allowances for doubtful accounts. Our current deferred tax assets at October 31, 2004 increased from the balance at October 31, 2003 due to an increase in various compensation accruals. Our current deferred tax liabilities primarily arise from temporary differences in the recognition of costs and accrued earnings in excess of billings on contracts in process. Total tax deductible goodwill resulting from the Dames & Moore and EG&G acquisitions amounted to $352.1 million. As of October 31, 2004, $211.4 million of goodwill was unamortized for tax purposes. The difference between tax and financial statement cumulative amortization on tax deductible goodwill gives rise to a long-term deferred tax liability. Our net non-current deferred tax liabilities decreased slightly, as increases in deferred tax liabilities generated by tax deductible goodwill were offset by increases in deferred tax assets related to tax credits, NOLs and deferred compensation and pension programs.

     Valuation allowances for deferred tax assets are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Based on expected future operating results, we believe that realization of deferred tax assets in excess of the valuation allowance is more likely than not.

Table of Contents

     Earnings from our foreign subsidiaries are indefinitely reinvested outside of our home tax jurisdiction and thus pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 23, “Accounting for Income Taxes — Special Areas.” We do not recognize a deferred tax liability for the tax effect of the excess of the book over tax basis of our investments in our foreign subsidiaries.

     The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) was signed into law in October 2004 and has several provisions that may impact our income taxes in the future, including the repeal of the extraterritorial income exclusion, incentives for the repatriation of foreign income through December 2004, and a deduction related to qualified production activities taxable income. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) proposed that the qualified production activities deduction is a special deduction and will have no impact on deferred taxes existing at the enactment date. Rather, the impact of this deduction will be reported in the period in which the deduction is claimed on our tax return. We are currently evaluating the impact of the FASB guidance related to qualified production activities on our effective tax rate in future periods. The FASB also provided guidance for the appropriate point at which a Company should reflect in its financial statements the effects of a one time tax benefit on the repatriation of foreign earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of the FASB guidance related to the repatriation of foreign earnings.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in our consolidated financial statements and related footnotes included in Item 8 of this report. In preparing these financial statements, we have made our best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in our financial statements, giving consideration to materiality. Historically, our estimates have not differed materially from actual results. Application of these accounting policies, however, involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties. Consequently, actual results could differ from our estimates. See Note 1, “Accounting Policies” to our “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included under Item 8 of this report.

     The accounting policies that we believe are the most critical to understanding our financial results and condition and require complex management judgment are discussed below. Information regarding our other accounting policies is included under Item 8, “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of this report.

Revenue Recognition

     Our revenues arise primarily from the professional and technical services performed by our employees or, in certain cases, by subcontractors we engage to perform on our behalf under contracts we enter into with our clients. The revenues we recognize, therefore, are derived from our ability to charge our clients for those services under our contracts.

     We enter into three major types of contracts: “cost-plus contracts,” “fixed-price contracts” and “time-and-materials contracts.” Within each of the major contract types are variations on the basic contract mechanism. Fixed-price contracts generally present us with the highest level of financial and performance risk, but often also provide the highest potential financial returns. Cost-plus contracts present us with lower risk, but generally provide lower returns and often include more onerous terms and conditions. Time-and-materials contracts generally represent the time spent by our professional staff at stated or negotiated billing rates. A more detailed discussion of our revenue recognition on contract types is included in Note 1, “Accounting Policies” to our “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included under Item 8 of this report.

     We earn our revenues from performance on cost-plus, fixed-price and time-and-materials contracts. At October 31, 2004, we had many active projects, none of which represented more than 6% of our total revenues for fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. If our estimate of costs at completion on any contract indicates that a loss will be incurred, we charge the entire estimated loss to operations in the period the loss becomes evident.

36


Table of Contents

     We account for our professional planning, design and various other types of engineering projects, including systems engineering and program and construction management contracts on the “percentage-of-completion” method, wherein revenue is recognized as project progress occurs. Service-related contracts, including operations and maintenance services and a variety of technical assistance services, are accounted for over the period of performance, in proportion to the costs of performance, evenly over the period or over units of production.

     The use of the percentage of completion revenue recognition method requires us to make estimates and exercise judgment regarding the project’s expected revenues, costs and the extent of progress towards completion. We have a history of making reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress towards completion, contract revenue and contract completion costs on our long-term engineering and construction contracts. However, due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that our completion costs may vary from our estimates.

     Most of our percentage-of-completion projects follow the “cost-to-cost” method of determining the percentage of completion. Under the cost-to-cost method, we make periodic estimates of our progress towards project completion by analyzing costs incurred to date, plus an estimate of the amount of costs that we expect to incur until the completion of the project. Revenue is then calculated on a cumulative basis (project-to-date) as the total contract value multiplied by the current percentage-of-completion. The revenue for the current period is calculated as cumulative revenues less project revenues already recognized. The process of estimating costs on engineering and construction projects combines professional engineering, cost estimating, pricing and accounting skills. The recognition of revenues and profit is dependent upon the accuracy of a variety of estimates, including engineering progress, materials quantities, achievement of milestones and other incentives, penalty provisions, labor productivity and cost estimates. Such estimates are based on various judgments we make with respect to those factors and are difficult to accurately determine until the project is significantly underway.

     For some contracts, using the cost-to-cost method in estimating percentage-of-completion may overstate the progress on the project. For instance, in a project where a large amount of permanent materials are purchased, including the costs of these materials in calculating the percentage-of-completion may overstate the actual progress on the project. For these types of projects, actual labor hours spent on the project may be a more appropriate measure of the progress on the project. For projects where the cost-to-cost method does not appropriately reflect the progress on the projects, we use alternative methods such as actual labor hours, for measuring progress on the project and recognize revenue accordingly.

     Once contract performance is underway, we may experience changes in conditions, client requirements, specifications, designs, materials and expectations regarding the period of performance. Such changes may be initiated by us or by our clients. The majority of such changes presents little or no financial risk to us. Generally, a “change order” will be negotiated between our client and ourselves to reflect how the change is to be resolved and who is responsible for the financial impact of the change. Occasionally, however, disagreements can arise regarding changes, their nature, measurement, timing and other characteristics that impact costs and, therefore, revenues. When a change becomes a point of dispute between our client and us, we then consider it as a claim.

     Costs related to change orders and claims are recognized when they are incurred. Change orders are included in total estimated contract revenue when it is probable that the change order will result in a bona fide addition to contract value and can be reliably estimated. Claims are included in total estimated contract revenues, only to the extent that contract costs related to the claims have been incurred and when it is probable that the claim will result in a bona fide addition to contract value which can be reliably estimated. No profit is recognized on claims until final settlement occurs. This can lead to a situation where costs are recognized in one period and revenues are recognized in a subsequent period when a client agreement is obtained or claims resolution occurs. A more detailed discussion of change orders and claims is included in Note 1, “Accounting Policies,” to our “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included under Item 8 of this report.

     We have contracts with the U.S. government that contain provisions requiring compliance with the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”), and the U.S. Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”). These regulations are generally applicable to all of our federal government contracts and are partially or fully incorporated in many local and state agency contracts. They limit the recovery of certain specified indirect costs on contracts subject to the FAR.

37


Table of Contents

     Cost-plus contracts covered by the FAR provide for upward or downward adjustments if actual recoverable costs differ from the estimate billed under forward pricing arrangements. Most of our federal government contracts are subject to termination at the convenience of the client. Contracts typically provide for reimbursement of costs incurred and payment of fees earned through the date of such termination.

     Federal government contracts are subject to the FAR and some state and local governmental agencies require audits, which are performed for the most part by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”). The DCAA audits our overhead rates, cost proposals, incurred government contract costs, and internal control systems. During the course of its audits, the DCAA may question incurred costs if it believes we have accounted for such costs in a manner inconsistent with the requirements of the FAR or CAS and recommend that our U.S. government corporate administrative contracting officer disallow such costs. Historically, we have not experienced significant disallowed costs as a result of such audits. However, we can provide no assurance that the DCAA audits will not result in material disallowances of incurred costs in the future.

Goodwill

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”) requires at least an annual assessment for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. Accordingly, we have completed our annual review of the recoverability of goodwill as of October 31, 2004, which indicated that we had no impairment of goodwill. In addition to our annual test, we regularly evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment of goodwill.

     We believe the following methodology we use in testing impairment of goodwill, which includes significant judgments and estimates, provides us with a reasonable basis in determining whether an impairment charge should be taken. In evaluating whether there is an impairment of goodwill, we calculate the estimated fair value of our company by using a methodology that considers discounted projections of our cash flows and the fair values of our debt and equity.

     We first determine our estimated projected cash flows and estimated residual values of each of our reporting units and discount those cash flows and residual values based on a selected discount rate (a discounted cash flows approach) to arrive at an estimated fair value of each reporting unit. The determination of our discount rate considers our cost of capital and the cost of capital of some of our industry peers. We then consider the average closing sales price of our common stock and the fair market value of our interest-bearing obligations to arrive at an estimate of the Company’s fair value (a market multiple approach). Our final estimate of the Company’s fair value is established considering our market multiple and discounted cash flows approaches.

     We allocate our final estimate of the Company’s fair value to our reporting units based on the relative proportion of each reporting unit’s estimated discounted cash flows to the total. A reporting unit, as defined in SFAS 142, is an operating segment or a component of a segment where (a) the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available, and (b) management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. Our reporting units consist of the EG&G Division, the domestic operations of the URS Division and the international operations of the URS Division.

     We then compare the resulting fair values by reporting units to the respective net book values, including goodwill. If the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we measure the amount of the impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value (which is a reasonable estimate of the value of goodwill for the purpose of measuring an impairment loss) of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the carrying amount of that goodwill. To the extent that the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, we recognize a goodwill impairment loss at that time. In evaluating whether there was an impairment of goodwill, we also take into consideration changes in our business mix and changes in our discounted cash flows, in addition to our average closing stock price.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable

     We reduce our accounts receivable and costs and accrued earnings in excess of billings on contracts in process by estimating an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible or unrealizable, respectively, in the future. We determine our estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts based on management’s judgments regarding our operating performance related to the adequacy of the services performed or products delivered, the status of change orders and claims, our experience settling change orders and claims and the financial condition of our clients, which may be dependent on the type of client and current economic conditions that the client may be subject to.

Deferred income taxes

     We use the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances based on our judgments and estimates are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized in future operating results. Management believes that realization of deferred tax assets in excess of the valuation allowance is more likely than not. Our estimates are based on facts and circumstances in existence as well as interpretations of existing tax regulations and laws applied to the facts and circumstances, with the help of professional tax advisors. Therefore, we estimate and provide for amounts of additional income taxes that may be assessed by the various taxing authorities.

Other long-term liabilities

     Included in other long-term liabilities are estimated liabilities related to defined benefit pension and postretirement programs. These liabilities represent actuarially determined estimates of our future obligations associated with providing these benefit programs to some of our employees. The actuarial studies and estimates are dependent on assumptions made by management.

Adopted and Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

     In January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”), an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements.” FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of that VIE. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46-R”), to address certain FIN 46 implementation issues. Although we have no special purpose entities (“SPEs”) as defined in FIN 46, we evaluated the impact of FIN 46 related to our joint ventures with third parties. We adopted FIN 46-R as of April 30, 2004.

     In general, we account for non-special purpose entities (“non-SPEs”) in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 00-01, “Investor Balance Sheet and Income Statement Display under the Equity Method for Investments in Certain Partnerships and Other Ventures” (“EITF 00-01”), or in accordance with the equity method of accounting. Our adoption of FIN 46-R did not have a material impact on the accounting for these non-SPEs and we continue to account for them under the equity method or under EITF 00-01, as appropriate.

     FIN 46-R requires that all entities, regardless of whether or not a special purpose entity, created subsequent to January 31, 2003, be evaluated for consolidation purposes. We have not entered into any joint venture or partnership agreements subsequent to January 31, 2003 where the accounting for such agreements would be materially different than our historical method of accounting for such entities using the equity method or under EITF 00-01, as appropriate. Future joint venture or partnership agreements into which we may enter may require consolidation under FIN 46-R and could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In addition, facts and circumstances related to existing joint ventures or partnership agreements may require consolidation in future accounting periods.

     In December 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 (Revised), “Employer’s Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits” (“Revised SFAS 132”). Revised SFAS 132 requires additional disclosures relating to assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost. Revised SFAS 132 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003, except that certain disclosures are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. Interim period disclosures are effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2003 and were included in our Form 10-Q commencing with the period ended April 30, 2004. Our required Revised SFAS 132 disclosures are included in Note 10, “Employee Retirement Plans.”

     On December 17, 2003, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or the “Staff”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”), which supersedes Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB 104’s primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, which was effectively superseded as a result of the issuance of Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”). While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104. SAB 104 applies to our service related contracts. We do not have any material multiple element arrangements and thus SAB 104 does not have a material impact on our financial statements.

     On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Medicare Act”) was signed into law. The Medicare Act introduced a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D) and a federal subsidy to sponsors of retirement health care plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. On January 12, 2004 and May 19, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 106-1 and 106-2, respectively, both entitled “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (“FSP 106-1” and “FSP 106-2”). FSP 106-2 supersedes FSP 106-1. FSP 106-2 provides guidance on accounting for the effects of the Medicare Act and requires specific disclosures. Detailed regulations necessary to implement the Medicare Act have not been issued, including those that would specify the manner in which actuarial equivalency must be determined, the evidence required to demonstrate actuarial equivalency, and the documentation requirements necessary to be entitled to the subsidy. Based on an analysis of the Medicare Act, FSP 106-2, and facts available to us, we formed a conclusion that the majority of the health care benefits we provide to retirees is not actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D and therefore, the effects of the Medicare Act would not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

     If it is later determined that the drug benefit is actuarially equivalent based on new information available to us, a re-measurement of plan assets and obligations will be performed on the date that actuarial equivalence is determined and the effect of the subsidy will be treated as an actuarial gain. Based on current facts and circumstances, our measures of the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation and net periodic pension costs of our post-retirement plans do not reflect any amount associated with the subsidy. We believe that other effects of the Act to be considered at the next measurement date will not have a significant effect on our financial statements.

     On April 9, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 129-1, “Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure, Relating to Contingently Convertible Securities” (“FSP 129-1”). FSP 129-1 clarifies that the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, “Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure” apply to all contingently convertible securities and to their potentially dilutive effects on earnings per share (“EPS”), including those for which the criteria for conversion have not been satisfied, and thus are not included in the computation of diluted EPS. The guidance in FSP 129-1 is effective immediately and applies to all existing and newly created securities. Our required FSP 129-1 disclosures are included above under “Income Per Common Share.” Our 6 1/2% debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock; however, the number of shares which they could be converted into is not material to our income per share computation and inclusion of the assumed conversion of our 6 1/2% debentures in our EPS computation would be anti-dilutive. As a result, the conversion effect of our 6 1/2% debentures was excluded from our diluted EPS computation at October 31, 2004.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised), “Share-Based Payment” (“Revised SFAS 123”). Revised SFAS 123 replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25. Revised SFAS 123 is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Revised SFAS 123 requires that the costs resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized

Table of Contents

in the financial statements. Revised SFAS 123 applies to all awards granted after the required effective date, and shall not apply to awards granted in periods before the required effective date, except if prior awards are modified, repurchased or cancelled after the effective date. Revised SFAS 123 also amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” to require that excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid.

     Adoption of Revised SFAS 123 will require us to record an expense for our equity-related compensation plans using the fair value method and will have a significant impact on our financial statements as we historically have recorded our compensation cost in accordance with APB 25, which does not require the recording of an expense for our equity related compensation plans if stocks were granted at a price equal to the fair market value of the stocks on the grant date.

     On December 21, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” which provides guidance on applying FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” to the tax deduction on qualified production activities provided under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (“the Act”). In addition, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” which provides guidance on the Act’s repatriation provision. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of the FASB guidance related to qualified production activities on our effective tax rate in future periods. The FASB has also provided guidance for the appropriate point at which a Company should reflect in its financial statements the effects of a one time tax benefit on the repatriation of foreign earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of the FASB guidance related to the repatriation of foreign earnings.

     In September 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a final consensus on Issue No. 04-08, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share” (“EITF 04-08”). Contingently convertible debt instruments are financial instruments that add a contingent feature to a convertible debt instrument. The conversion feature is triggered when one or more specified contingencies occur and at least one of these contingencies is based on market price. Prior to the issuance of EITF 04-08, Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share,” had been widely interpreted to allow the exclusion of common shares underlying contingently convertible debt instruments from the calculation of diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) in instances where conversion depends on the achievement of a specified market price of the issuer’s shares. The consensus requires that these underlying common shares be included in the diluted EPS computations, if dilutive, regardless of whether the market price contingency or any other contingent factor has been met. The only convertible debt we had for the fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 was our 6 1/2% debentures, which has no contingent conversion features, including market value triggers; therefore, EITF 04-08 has no effect to our consolidated financial statements.

Risk Factors That Could Affect Our Financial Condition and Results of Operations

     In addition to the other information included or incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, the following factors could affect our financial condition and results of operations:

We continue to experience the adverse effects from the ongoing economic downturn. If the economic downturn continues or worsen, then our revenues, profits and our financial condition may deteriorate.

     In response to reduced revenues caused by the ongoing economic downturn, our clients may cut costs, or delay, curtail or cancel proposed and existing projects. Our government clients may face budget deficits that prohibit them from funding proposed and existing projects. Our clients may also demand better pricing terms. In addition, the economic downturn may impact our clients’ ability to pay our bills and our ability to collect cash from our clients needed to fund our business operations. Although some economic fundamentals have been improving, our business generally lags the overall recovery in the economy and, therefore, we do not know whether or when any improving economic indicators will positively affect our revenues and profits. If the economic downturn continues or worsens, then our revenues, profits and overall financial condition may deteriorate.

As a government contractor, we are subject to a number of procurement laws and regulations and government audits, any deemed violation of which could lead to sanctions, contract termination or ineligibility for future government contracts.

     We must comply with and are affected by federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations relating to the formation, administration and performance of government contracts. For example, we must comply with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”), the Truth in Negotiations Act, the Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”), Service Contract Act, and Department of Defense security regulations, as well as many other rules and regulations. These laws and regulations affect how we transact business with our clients and in some instances, impose added costs to our business operations.

     As a federal government contractor, we must maintain our status as a responsible contractor. Even though we take precautions to prevent and deter fraud and misconduct, we face the risk that our employees or outside partners may engage in misconduct, fraud or other improper activities. Government agencies, such as the U.S. Defense Contract Audit Agency, routinely audit and investigate government contractors. These agencies review or audit a contractor’s performance under its contracts, cost structure and compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards. A violation of specific laws and regulations could result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties or sanctions, contract termination, forfeiture of profit, and/or suspension of payment, any of which could make us ineligible to perform services for governmental agencies. We could also suffer serious harm to our reputation.

     In addition, during the course of its audits, the DCAA may question incurred costs if the DCAA believes we have accounted for such costs in a manner inconsistent with the requirements for the FAR or CAS and recommend that our U.S. government corporate administrative contracting officer disallow such costs. Historically, we have not experienced significant disallowed costs as a result of such audits. However, we can provide no assurance that the DCAA audits will not result in material disallowances for incurred costs in the future.

Because we depend on federal, state and local governments for a significant portion of our revenue, our inability to win profitable government contracts could harm our operations and adversely affect our net income.

     Revenues from federal government contracts and state and local government contracts represented approximately 48% and 20% of our total revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004, respectively. Our inability to win profitable government contracts could harm our operations and adversely affect our net income. Government contracts are typically awarded through a heavily regulated procurement process. Some government contracts are awarded to multiple competitors, which increase overall competition and pricing pressure and may require us to make sustained post-award efforts to realize revenues under these contracts, which negatively impact our profitability under the contracts. Moreover, even if we are qualified to work on a new government contract, we may not be awarded the contract because of existing government policies designed to protect small businesses and underrepresented minority contractors. Finally, government clients can generally terminate or modify their contracts at their convenience.

Unexpected termination of a substantial portion of our book of business could harm our operations and adversely affect our future revenues.

     We account for all contract awards that may be recognized as revenues as our book of business, which includes backlog, designations, option years and indefinite delivery contracts. Our backlog consists of the amount billable at a particular point in time for future services under signed contracts. Our designations consist of projects that clients have awarded us, but for which we do not yet have signed contracts. Our option year contracts are multi-year contracts with base periods plus option years that are exercisable by our clients without the need for us to go through another competitive bidding process. Our indefinite delivery contracts are signed contracts under which we perform work only when our client issues specific task orders. Our book of business estimates may not result in actual revenues in any particular period since clients may terminate or delay projects, or decide not to award task orders under indefinite delivery contracts. Unexpected termination of a substantial portion of our book of business could harm our

operations and adversely affect our future revenues.

Funding for many of our multi-year government contracts must be appropriated each year. If appropriations are not made in subsequent years of a multiple-year contract, we will not realize all of our potential revenues and profits from that contract.

     We derive a significant amount of our revenues from multi-year government contracts, many of which are appropriated on an annual basis. Legislatures typically appropriate funds for a given program on a year-by-year basis, even though contract performance may take more than one year. As a result, at the beginning of a project, the related contract may be only partially funded, and additional funding is normally committed only as appropriations are made in each subsequent year. These appropriations, and the timing of payment of appropriated amounts, may be influenced by, among other things, the state of the economy, competing political priorities, curtailments in the use of government contracting firms, budget constraints, the timing and amount of tax receipts and the overall level of government expenditures. If appropriations are not made in subsequent years of a multiple-year contract, we will not realize all of our potential revenues and profits from that contract.

If we are unable to accurately estimate the overall risks, revenues or costs on contracts, then we may incur losses on the contracts or generate lower profits.

     We generally enter into three principal types of contracts with our clients: cost-plus, fixed-price and time-and-materials. Under cost-plus contracts, which may be subject to contract ceiling amounts, we are reimbursed for allowable costs and fees, which may be fixed or performance-based. If our costs exceed the contract ceiling or are not allowable under the provisions of the contract or any applicable regulations, we may not be reimbursed for all our costs. Under fixed-price contracts, we receive a fixed price unrelated to the actual costs we incur. Consequently, we realize a profit on fixed-price contracts only if we control our costs and prevent cost over-runs on the contracts. Under time-and-materials contracts, we are paid for labor at negotiated hourly billing rates and for other expenses. Profitability on these types of contracts is driven by billable headcount and control of cost over-runs.

     Accounting for these contracts requires judgment relative to assessing their estimated risks, revenues and costs. Due to the size and nature of many of our contracts, the estimation of overall risk, revenues and costs at completion is complicated and subject to many variables. Changes in underlying assumptions, circumstances or estimates may also adversely affect financial performance in future periods. If we are unable to accurately estimate the overall revenues or costs on a contract, then we may incur a loss on the contract or generate a lower profit.

If we guarantee the timely completion or performance standards of a project, we could incur additional costs to cover our guarantee obligations.

     We may guarantee to our client that we will complete a project by a scheduled date. We also may sometimes guarantee that a project, when completed, will achieve specified performance standards. If the project is not completed by the scheduled date or subsequently fails to meet guaranteed performance standards, we may either incur significant additional costs or be held responsible for the costs incurred by the client to rectify damages due to late completion or to achieve the required performance standards. In some cases, should we fail to meet required performance standards, we may also be subject to agreed upon damages, which are fixed in amount by the contract. To the extent that these events occur, the total costs of the project could exceed our estimates and we could experience reduced profits or, in some cases, incur a loss on that project.

Our use of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting could result in reduction or reversal of previously recorded revenues and profits.

     A substantial portion of our revenues and profits are measured and recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Generally, our use of this method results in recognition of revenues and profits ratably over the life of the contract, based on the proportion of costs incurred to date to total costs expected to be incurred. The effect of revisions to revenues and estimated costs is recorded when the amounts are known and can be reasonably estimated. Such revisions could occur in any period and their effects could be material. Although we have

43


Table of Contents

historically made reasonable reliable estimates of the progress towards completion of long-term engineering, program and construction management or construction contracts in process, the uncertainties inherent in the estimating process make it possible for actual costs to vary materially from estimates, including reductions or reversals of previously recorded revenues and profits.

If our partners fail to perform their contractual obligations on a project, we could be exposed to legal liability, loss of reputation or reduced profit on the project.

     We sometimes enter into subcontracts, joint ventures and other contractual arrangements with outside partners so that we can jointly bid on and execute a particular project. Success on these joint projects depends largely on whether our partners fulfill their contractual obligations satisfactorily. If any of our partners fails to satisfactorily perform their contractual obligations as a result of financial or other difficulties, we may be required to make additional investments and provide additional services in order to make up for our partner’s shortfall. If we are unable to adequately address our partner’s performance issues, then our client could terminate the joint project, exposing us to legal liability, loss of reputation or reduced profit on the project.

Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our financial condition.

     As of October 31, 2004, we had $543.7 million of outstanding indebtedness. This level of indebtedness could have a negative impact on us because it may:

  •   limit our ability to borrow money or sell stock for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or other purposes;
 
  •   limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business;
 
  •   place us at a competitive disadvantage if we are more highly leveraged than our competitors;
 
  •   restrict us from making strategic acquisitions or exploiting business opportunities;
 
  •   make us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business or the economy;
 
  •   require us to maintain certain financial ratios, which we may not be able to achieve; and
 
  •   require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations to the repayments of our indebtedness, thereby reducing the availability of cash flows to fund working capital, capital expenditures and for other general corporate purposes.

Because we are a holding company, we may not be able to service our debt if our subsidiaries do not make sufficient distributions to us.

     We have no direct operations and no significant assets other than investments in the stock of our subsidiaries. Because we conduct our business operations through our operating subsidiaries, we depend on those entities for dividends and other payments to generate the funds necessary to meet our financial obligations. Legal restrictions, including local regulations and contractual obligations associated with secured loans, such as equipment financings, may restrict our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends or make loans or other distributions to us. The earnings from, or other available assets of, these operating subsidiaries may not be sufficient to make distributions to enable us to pay interest on our debt obligations when due or to pay the principal of such debt at maturity.

Restrictive covenants in our Credit Facility and the indentures relating to our outstanding notes and our other outstanding indebtedness may restrict our ability to pursue business strategies.

     Our Credit Facility and our indentures relating to our outstanding notes and our other outstanding indebtedness restrict our ability to, among other things:

  •   incur additional indebtedness;

44


Table of Contents

  •   pay dividends and make distributions to our stockholders;
 
  •   repurchase or redeem our stock;
 
  •   repay indebtedness that is junior to our Credit Facility or our outstanding indebtedness;
 
  •   make investments and other restricted payments;
 
  •   create liens securing debt or other encumbrances on our assets;
 
  •   enter into sale-leaseback transactions;
 
  •   enter into transactions with our stockholders and affiliates;
 
  •   sell or exchange assets;
 
  •   acquire the assets of, or merge or consolidate with, other companies;
 
  •   pledge assets that would result in less security for our debt holders; and
 
  •   make capital expenditures.

     Our Credit Facility also requires that we maintain certain financial ratios, which we may not be able to achieve. The covenants in our various debt instruments may impair our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in other favorable business activities.

We may incur substantial costs of compliance with, or liabilities under, environmental laws and regulations.

     Our environmental business involves the planning, design, program and construction management and operation and maintenance of pollution control facilities, hazardous waste or Superfund sites and military bases. In addition, we contract with U.S. governmental entities to destroy hazardous materials, including chemical agents and weapons stockpiles. These activities require us to manage, handle, remove, treat, transport and dispose of toxic or hazardous substances. Federal laws, including but not limited to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976, as amended, or RCRA, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or CERCLA, as well as other governmental laws strictly regulate the handling, removal, treatment, transportation and disposal of toxic and hazardous substances and impose liability for environmental contamination caused by such substances. In addition, so-called “toxic tort” litigation has increased markedly in recent years as people injured by hazardous substances seek recovery for personal injuries and/or property damages. Liabilities related to environmental contamination or human exposure to hazardous substances, or a failure to comply with applicable regulations could result in substantial costs to us, including clean-up costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third party claims for property damage or personal injury or cessation of remediation activities.

Changes in environmental laws, regulations and programs could reduce demand for our environmental services, which could negatively impact our revenues.

     Our environmental business is driven by federal, state, local and foreign laws, regulations and programs related to pollution and environmental protection. Accordingly, a relaxation or repeal of these laws and regulations, or changes in governmental policies regarding the funding, implementation or enforcement of these programs, could result in a decline in demand for environmental services that could negatively impact our revenues.

Our liability for damages due to legal proceedings may significantly reduce our net income.

     Various legal proceedings are pending against us and certain of our subsidiaries alleging among other things, breach of contract or tort in connection with the performance of professional services, the outcome of which cannot be predicted with certainty. In some actions, parties are seeking damages that exceed our insurance coverage or are not insured. Our services may require us to make judgments and recommendations about environmental, structural and other physical conditions at project sites. If our judgments and recommendations are later found to be incomplete or

45


Table of Contents

incorrect, then we may be liable for the resulting damages. If we sustain damages that exceed our insurance coverage or that are not insured, there could be a material adverse effect on our net income.

A general decline in U.S. defense spending could harm our operations and adversely affect our future revenues.

     Revenues under contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense and other defense-related entities represented approximately 34% our total revenues for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004. While spending authorization for defense-related programs has increased significantly in recent years due to greater homeland security and foreign military commitments, as well as the trend to outsource federal government jobs to the private sector, these spending levels may not be sustainable. Future levels of expenditures and authorizations for these programs may decrease, remain constant or shift to programs in areas where we do not currently provide services. As a result, a general decline in U.S. defense spending could harm our operations and adversely affect our future revenues.

Our overall market share will decline if we are unable to compete successfully in our industry.

     Our industry is highly fragmented and intensely competitive. Our competitors are numerous, ranging from small private firms to multi-billion dollar public companies. In addition, the technical and professional aspects of our services generally do not require large upfront capital expenditures and provide limited barriers against new competitors. Some of our competitors have achieved greater market penetration in some of the markets in which we compete and have substantially more financial resources and/or financial flexibility than we do. These competitive forces could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations by reducing our relative share in the markets we serve.

Ownership of our common stock is concentrated among stockholders who could act in concert to take actions that favor their own personal interests to the detriment of our interests and those of our other stockholders.

     As of October 31, 2004, our officers and directors and their affiliates beneficially owned approximately 20% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. Because of the concentrated ownership of our common stock, these stockholders may be able to influence matters requiring approval by our stockholders, including the election of directors and the approval of mergers or other business combination transactions. This concentration of ownership may also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control.

We rely heavily on our senior management and our professional and technical staff. Any failure to attract and retain key employees could impair our ability to provide services to our clients and otherwise conduct our business effectively.

     As a professional and technical services company, we are labor intensive and therefore our ability to attract, retain and expand our senior management and our professional and technical staff is an important factor in determining our future success. From time to time, it may be difficult to attract and retain qualified individuals with the expertise demanded by our clients. For example, some of our government contracts may require us to employ only individuals who have a particular government security clearance level. In addition, we rely heavily upon the expertise and leadership of our senior management. The failure to attract and retain key individuals could impair our ability to provide services to our clients and conduct our business effectively.

Recent changes in accounting for equity-related compensation could significantly impact our ability to attract and retain key employees.

     On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued Revised SFAS 123, which will require us to recognize, as an expense, the fair value of stock options and other equity-related compensation to employees as of the first interim reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005. Since we historically have used equity-related compensation as one component of our employee compensation program, the proposed accounting change could make the use of equity-related compensation less attractive and, therefore, make it more difficult to attract and retain key employees.

Our international operations are subject to a number of risks that could harm our operations and adversely affect our future revenues.

     As a multinational company, we have operations in over 20 countries and derived approximately 9% and 8% of our revenues from international operations for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively. International business is subject to a variety of special risks, including:

  •   greater risk of uncollectible accounts and longer collection cycles;
 
  •   currency fluctuations;
 
  •   logistical and communications challenges;
 
  •   potentially adverse changes in laws and regulatory practices, including export license requirements, trade barriers, tariffs and tax laws;
 
  •   changes in labor conditions;
 
  •   exposure to liability under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act; and
 
  •   general economic and political conditions in these foreign markets.

     These and other risks associated with international operations could harm our overall operations and adversely affect our future revenues. In addition, services billed through foreign subsidiaries are attributed to the international category of our business, regardless of where the services are performed and conversely, services billed through domestic operating subsidiaries are attributed to a domestic category of clients, regardless of where the services are performed. As a result, our exposure to international operations may be more or less than the percentage of revenues we attribute to the international category.

Our business activities may require our employees to travel to and work in high security risk countries, which may result in employee injury, repatriation costs or other unforeseen costs.

     As a multinational company, our employees often travel to and work in high security risk countries around the world that are undergoing political, social and economic upheavals resulting in war, civil unrest, criminal activity or acts of terrorism. For example, we have employees working in Iraq, a high security risk country with substantial civil unrest and acts of terrorism. As a result, we may be subject to costs related to employee injury, repatriation or other unforeseen costs.

If we are not able to successfully develop, integrate or maintain third party support for our ERP system in a timely manner, we may incur unexpected costs that could harm our results of operations, including the possibility of abandoning our current ERP system and migrating to another ERP system.

     We are consolidating all of our accounting and project management information systems to an ERP software system developed and customized for us by PeopleSoft Inc. As of January 1, 2005, approximately 60% of our total revenues were processed on this ERP system. We expect to convert substantially all of the remaining URS Division’s legacy systems over the next 12 months. We intend to convert the EG&G Division’s accounting system to the ERP system beginning in 2006. We depend on PeopleSoft Inc. to develop, integrate and provide long-term software maintenance support for our ERP system. Oracle acquired PeopleSoft, Inc. in January 2005. It is possible that Oracle may discontinue further development, integration or long-term software maintenance support for our ERP system. In the event we do not successfully complete the development and integration of our ERP system or are unable to obtain necessary long-term third party software maintenance support, we may be required to incur unexpected costs that could harm our results of operations, including the possibility of abandoning our current ERP system and migrating all of our accounting and project management functions to another ERP system.

If our intangible assets become impaired, our earnings will be negatively impacted.

     Our balance sheet includes goodwill and other intangible assets, the values of which are material. If any of our intangible assets were to become impaired, we would be required to write-off the impaired amount. The write-off would negatively affect our earnings.

Negotiations with labor unions and possible work actions could divert management attention and disrupt operations, and new collective bargaining agreements or amendments to agreements could increase our labor costs and operating expenses.

     As of October 31, 2004, approximately 7% of our employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements. The outcome of any future negotiations relating to union representation or collective bargaining agreements may not be favorable to us. We may reach agreements in collective bargaining that increase our operating expenses and lower our net income as a result of higher wages or benefits expenses. In addition, negotiations with unions could divert management attention and disrupt operations, which may adversely affect our results of operations. If we are unable to negotiate acceptable collective bargaining agreements, we may have to address the threat of union-initiated work actions, including strikes. Depending on the nature of the threat or the type and duration of any work action, these actions could disrupt our operations and adversely affect our operating results.

Delaware law and our charter documents and the change of control provisions of our outstanding notes may impede or discourage a takeover, which could cause the market price of our shares to decline.

     We are a Delaware corporation and the anti-takeover provisions of Delaware law impose various impediments to the ability of a third party to acquire control of us, even if a change in control would be beneficial to our existing stockholders. In addition, our board of directors has the power, without stockholder approval, to designate the terms of one or more series of preferred stock and issue shares of preferred stock, which could be used defensively if a takeover is threatened. Our incorporation under Delaware law, the ability of our board of directors to create and issue a new series of preferred stock and certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and by-laws could impede a merger, takeover or other business combination involving us or discourage a potential acquirer from making a tender offer for our common stock, which, under certain circumstances, could reduce the market price of our common stock. In addition, if we undergo a change of control, we may be required to repurchase our 11 1/2% notes and our 12 1/4% notes, in each case at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. This feature in some of our outstanding notes may also discourage a person or a group from attempting to acquire us.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest rate risk

     We are exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of our borrowings under our Credit Facility. Based on outstanding indebtedness of $353.8 million under Term Loan A and Term Loan B of our Credit Facility at October 31, 2004, if market rates were to average 1% higher in the next twelve months, our net of tax interest expense would increase by approximately $2.1 million. Conversely, if market rates were to average 1% lower in the next twelve months, our net of tax interest expense would decrease by approximately $2.1 million.

ITEM 8. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of URS Corporation:

     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of URS Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Company”) at October 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). 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, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business

     The terms “we”, “us”, and “our” used in this annual report include URS Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries unless otherwise indicated. We offer a comprehensive range of professional planning and design, system engineering and technical assistance, program and construction management, and operations and maintenance services for transportation, hazardous waste management, industrial process and petrochemical refinement, general building and water/wastewater treatment projects. We are also a major provider of operations and maintenance, logistics and technical services to the Department of Defense and other federal government agencies. Headquartered in San Francisco, we operate in more than 20 countries with approximately 27,500 employees providing services to federal, state, and local government agencies, as well as to private clients in the chemical, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, power, manufacturing, forest product, mining, healthcare, water supply, and retail and commercial development industries.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

     Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries that require consolidation. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We include in current assets and liabilities amounts realizable and payable under engineering and construction contracts that extend beyond one year. The consolidated financial statements reflect the August 2002 acquisitions of Carlyle-EG&G Holdings Corp. and Lear Siegler Services, Inc. (collectively, “EG&G”), which were accounted for under the purchase accounting method. The operating results of EG&G have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition forward. Accordingly, the EG&G results of operations for the year ended October 31, 2002 were not included in our consolidated statements of operations until August 22, 2002, the date of the acquisition. We participate in joint ventures formed for the purpose of bidding, negotiating and executing projects. Sometimes we function as the sponsor or manager of the projects performed by the joint venture. Investments in non-consolidated joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.

Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent 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

     We earn our revenues from cost-plus, fixed-price and time-and-materials contracts. If estimated total costs on any contract indicate a loss, we charge the entire estimated loss to operations in the period the loss becomes known. The cumulative effect of revisions to revenue, estimated costs to complete contracts, including penalties, incentive awards, change orders, claims, anticipated losses, and others are recorded in the accounting period in which the events indicating a loss are known and the loss can be reasonably estimated. Such revisions could occur at any time and the effects may be material.

     The majority of our contracts are for professional planning, design and various other types of engineering projects, including systems engineering, and program and construction management. We account for such contracts on the “percentage-of-completion” method, wherein revenue is recognized as costs are incurred. Under the percentage-of-completion method for revenue recognition, we estimate the progress towards completion to determine the amount of revenue and profit to recognize on all significant contracts. We generally utilize a cost-to-cost approach in applying the percentage-of-completion method, where revenue is earned in proportion to total costs incurred, divided by total

54

URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

costs expected to be incurred. For some contracts, using the cost-to-cost method in estimating percentage-of-completion may overstate the progress on the project. For instance, in a project where a large amount of permanent materials are purchased, including the costs of these materials in calculating the percentage-of-completion may overstate the actual progress on the project. For these types of projects, actual labor hours spent on the project may be a more appropriate measure of the progress on the project. For projects where the cost-to-cost method does not appropriately reflect the progress on the projects, we use alternative methods such as actual labor hours, for measuring progress on the project and recognize revenue accordingly.

     Under the percentage-of-completion method, recognition of profit is dependent upon the accuracy of a variety of estimates, including engineering progress, materials quantities, achievement of milestones, incentives, penalty provisions, labor productivity, cost estimates and others. Such estimates are based on various professional judgments we make with respect to those factors and are difficult to accurately determine until the project is significantly underway.

     We have a history of making reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress towards completion, contract revenue and contract completion costs on our long-term engineering and construction contracts. However, due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, it is possible that actual completion costs may vary from estimates.

     Cost-Plus Contracts. We have four major types of cost-plus contracts:

  •   Cost-Plus Fixed Fee. Under cost-plus fixed fee contracts, we charge our clients for our costs, including both direct and indirect costs, plus a fixed negotiated fee. In negotiating a cost-plus fixed fee contract, we estimate all recoverable direct and indirect costs and then add a fixed profit component. The total estimated cost plus the negotiated fee represents the total contract value. We recognize revenues based on the actual labor costs, based on hours of labor effort, plus non-labor costs we incur, plus the portion of the fixed fee we have earned to date. We invoice for our services as revenues are recognized or in accordance with agreed-upon billing schedules. Aggregate revenues from cost-plus fixed fee contracts may vary based on the actual number of labor hours worked and other actual contract costs incurred. However, if actual labor hours and other contract costs exceed the original estimate agreed to by our client, we generally must obtain a change order, contract modification, or successfully prevail in a claim in order to receive additional revenues relating to the additional costs (see “Change Orders and Claims”).
 
  •   Cost-Plus Fixed Rate. Under our cost-plus fixed rate contracts, we charge clients for our costs plus negotiated rates based on our indirect costs. In negotiating a cost-plus fixed rate contract, we estimate all recoverable direct and indirect costs and then add a profit component, which is a percentage of total recoverable costs to arrive at a total dollar estimate for the project. We recognize revenues based on the actual total number of labor hours and other costs we expend at the cost plus fixed rate we negotiated. Similar to cost-plus fixed fee contracts, aggregate revenues from cost-plus fixed rate contracts may vary and we generally must obtain a change order, contract modification, or successfully prevail in a claim in order to receive additional revenues relating to any additional costs that exceed the original contract estimate (see “Change Orders and Claims”).
 
  •   Cost-Plus Award Fee. Some cost-plus contracts provide for award fees or a penalty based on performance criteria in lieu of a fixed fee or fixed rate. Other contracts include a base fee component plus a performance-based award fee. In addition, we may share award fees with subcontractors and/or our employees. We record accruals for fee sharing on a monthly basis as related award fee revenue is earned. We generally recognize revenues to the extent of costs actually incurred plus a proportionate amount of the fee expected to be earned. We take the award fee or penalty on contracts into consideration when estimating sales and profit rates, and we record revenues related to the award fees when there is sufficient information to assess anticipated contract performance. On contracts that

55

URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

      represent higher than normal risk or technical difficulty, we defer all award fees until an award fee letter is received. Once an award letter is received, the estimated or accrued fees are adjusted to the actual award amount.
 
  •   Cost-Plus Incentive Fee. Some of our cost-plus contracts provide for incentive fees based on performance against contractual milestones. The amount of the incentive fees varies, depending on whether we achieve above-, at-, or below-target results. We recognize revenues on these contracts assuming that we will achieve at-target results, unless we estimate our cost at completion to be materially above or below target. If our estimated cost to complete the project indicates that our performance is, or will be, below target, we adjust our revenues down to the below-target estimate. If our estimate to complete the project indicates that our performance is above target, we do not adjust our revenues up to correspond with our estimated higher level of performance unless authorization to recognize additional revenues is obtained from appropriate levels of management.

     Labor costs and subcontractor services are the principal components of our direct costs on cost-plus contracts, although some include materials and other direct costs. Some of these contracts include a provision that the total actual costs plus the fee will not exceed a guaranteed price negotiated with the client. Others include rate ceilings that limit the reimbursement for general and administrative costs, overhead costs and materials handling costs. The accounting for these contracts appropriately reflects such guaranteed price or rate ceilings. Certain of our cost-plus contracts are subject to maximum contract values and accordingly revenues relating to these contracts are recognized as if these contracts were fixed-price contracts.

     Fixed-Price Contracts. We enter into two major types of fixed-price contracts:

  •   Firm Fixed-Price (“FFP”). Our FFP contracts have historically accounted for most of our fixed-price contracts. Under FFP contracts, our clients pay us an agreed amount negotiated in advance for a specified scope of work. We recognize revenues on FFP contracts using the percentage-of-completion method described above. We do not adjust our revenues downward if we incur costs below our original estimated costs. Prior to completion, our recognized profit margins on any FFP contract depend on the accuracy of our estimates and will increase to the extent that our current estimates of aggregate actual costs are below amounts previously estimated. Conversely, if our current estimated costs exceed prior estimates, our profit margins will decrease and we may realize a loss on a project. In order to increase aggregate revenue on the contract, we generally must obtain a change order, contract modification, or successfully prevail in a claim in order to receive payment for the additional costs (see “Change Orders and Claims”).
 
  •   Fixed-Price Per Unit (“FPPU”). Under our FPPU contracts, clients pay us a set fee for each service or production transaction that we complete. We are generally guaranteed a minimum number of service or production transactions at a fixed price, but our actual profit margins on any FPPU contract depend on the number of service transactions we ultimately complete. We recognize revenues under FPPU contracts as we complete and bill the related service transactions to our clients. If our current estimates of the aggregate average costs per service transaction turn out to exceed our prior estimates, our profit margins will decrease and we may realize a loss on the project. In order to increase aggregate revenues on a contract, we generally must obtain a change order, contract modification, or successfully prevail in a claim in order to receive payment for the additional costs (see “Change Orders and Claims”). Certain of our FPPU contracts are subject to maximum contract values and accordingly, revenues relating to these contracts are recognized as if these contracts were FFP contracts.

     Time-and-Materials Contracts. Under our time-and-materials contracts, we negotiate hourly billing rates and charge our clients based on the actual time that we spend on a project. In addition, clients reimburse us for our actual out-of-pocket costs of materials and other direct incidental expenditures that we incur in connection with our performance under the contract. Our profit margins on time-and-materials contracts fluctuate based on actual labor

56

URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

and overhead costs that we directly charge or allocate to contracts compared with negotiated billing rates. The majority of our time-and-material contracts are subject to maximum contract values and, accordingly, revenues under these contracts are recognized under the percentage-of-completion method or as a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables as described above. Revenues on contracts that are not subject to maximum contract values are recognized based on the actual number of hours we spend on the projects plus any actual out-of-pocket costs of materials and other direct incidental expenditures that we incur on the projects. Our time-and materials contracts also generally include annual billing rate adjustment provisions.

     Service-related contracts. Service-related contracts, including operations and maintenance services and a variety of technical assistance services, are accounted for over the period of performance, in proportion to the costs of performance, evenly over the period, or over units of production.

     Change Orders and Claims. Change orders are modifications of an original contract that effectively change the provisions of the contract without adding new provisions. Either we or our customer may initiate change orders. They may include changes in specifications or design, manner of performance, facilities, equipment, materials, sites and period of completion of the work. Claims are amounts in excess of agreed contract price that we seek to collect from our clients or others for customer-caused delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract terminations, change orders that are either in dispute or are unapproved as to both scope and price, or other causes of unanticipated additional contract costs.

     Change orders and claims occur when changes are experienced once contract performance is underway. Change orders are sometimes documented and terms of such change orders agreed with the client before the work is performed. Sometimes circumstances require that work progresses without client agreement before the work is performed. Costs related to change orders and claims are recognized when they are incurred. Change orders are included in total estimated contract revenue when it is probable that the change order will result in a bona fide addition to contract value that can be reliably estimated. Claims are included in total estimated contract revenues to the extent that contract costs related to the claims have been incurred and when it is probable that the claim will result in a bona fide addition to contract value which can be reliably estimated. No profit is recognized on claims until final settlement occurs. This can lead to a situation where costs are recognized in one period and revenues are recognized when client agreement is obtained or claims resolution occurs, which can be in subsequent periods.

     We have contracts with the U.S. government that contain provisions requiring compliance with the U.S. Federal Acquisition Regulation (“FAR”), and the U.S. Cost Accounting Standards (“CAS”). These regulations are generally applicable to all of our federal government contracts and are partially or fully incorporated in many local and state agency contracts. They limit the recovery of certain specified indirect costs on contracts subject to the FAR. Cost-plus contracts covered by the FAR provide for upward or downward adjustments if actual recoverable costs differ from the estimate billed under forward pricing arrangements. Most of our federal government contracts are subject to termination at the convenience of the client. Contracts typically provide for reimbursement of costs incurred and payment of fees earned through the date of such termination.

     Federal government contracts are subject to the FAR and some state and local governmental agencies require audits, which are performed for the most part by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”). The DCAA audits our overhead rates, cost proposals, incurred government contract costs, and internal control systems. During the course of its audits, the DCAA may question incurred costs if it believes we have accounted for such costs in a manner inconsistent with the requirements of the FAR or CAS and recommend that our U.S. government corporate administrative contracting officer disallow such costs. Historically, we have not experienced significant disallowed costs as a result of such audits. However, we can provide no assurance that the DCAA audits will not result in material disallowances of incurred costs in the future.

Costs and Accrued Earnings in Excess of Billings on Contracts in Process and Billings in Excess of Costs and Accrued Earnings on Contracts in Process

     Costs and accrued earnings in excess of billings on contracts in process in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets represent amounts earned and reimbursable under contracts in progress. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, costs and accrued earnings in excess of billings on contracts in progress were $413.4 million and $393.7 million, respectively. These amounts become billable according to the contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones or completion of the project. Generally, such unbilled amounts will be billed and collected over the next 12 months.

     Billings in excess of costs and accrued earnings on contracts in process in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets represent cash collected from clients on contracts in advance of revenues earned thereon, as well as advanced billings to clients in excess of costs and earnings on uncompleted contracts. It also includes provisions for losses on contracts, and reserves for audit and closing adjustments on both federal and state contracts. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, billings in excess of costs and accrued earnings on contracts in process were $79.5 million and $83.0 million, respectively. We anticipate that the majority of such amounts will be earned over the next 12 months.

Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts Receivable

     We reduce our accounts receivable and costs and accrued earnings in excess of billings on contracts in process by estimating an allowance for amounts that may become uncollectible in the future. We determine our estimated allowance for uncollectible amounts based on management’s judgments regarding our operating performance related to the adequacy of the services performed or products delivered, the status of change orders and claims, our experience settling change orders and claims and the financial condition of our clients, which may be dependent on the type of client and current economic conditions that the client may be subject to.

Classification of Current Assets and Liabilities

     We include in current assets and liabilities amounts realizable and payable under contracts that extend beyond one year. Accounts receivable, accounts receivable – retainage, costs and accrued earnings in excess of billings on contracts in process, subcontractors payable, subcontractor retainage, and billings in excess of costs and accrued earnings on contracts in process each contain amounts that, depending on contract performance, resolution of U.S. government contract audits, negotiations, change orders, claims or changes in facts and circumstances, may not either be collectable or require payment within one year.

     Accounts receivable – retainage represents amounts billed to clients for services performed that, by their underlying contract terms, will not be paid until the projects are at or near completion. Correspondingly, subcontractors payable – retainage represents amounts billed to us by subcontractors for services performed that, by their underlying contract terms do not require payment by us until the projects are at or near completion.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

     Our accounts receivable and costs and accrued earnings in excess of billings on contracts in process are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade receivables are limited due to the large number of clients that comprise our customer base and their dispersion across different business and geographic areas. We estimate and maintain an allowance for potential uncollectible accounts and such estimates have historically been within management’s expectations. Our cash and cash equivalents balances are maintained in accounts held by major banks and financial institutions located primarily in the United States of America, Europe and Asia Pacific.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

     We consider all highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     At October 31, 2004 and 2003, the carrying amounts of some of our financial instruments including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other liabilities approximate fair values due to their short maturities. The fair values of our Credit Facility and other variable rate debt is based on current interest rates and approximates fair values. The fair values of our other long-term debt obligations exceed the carrying values as disclosed in Note 5, “Current and Long-Term Debt.”

Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost. In the year assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss on disposal is reflected in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line and the double declining methods using estimated useful lives less residual value. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the length of the lease or estimated useful life, whichever is less. We capitalize our repairs and maintenance that extends the estimated useful lives of property and equipment; otherwise, repairs and maintenance are expensed.

Internal-Use Computer Software

     We expense or capitalize charges associated with development of internal-use software as follows:

     Preliminary project stage: Both internal and external costs incurred during this stage are expensed as incurred.

     Application development stage: Both internal and external costs incurred to purchase and develop computer software are capitalized after the preliminary project stage is completed and management authorizes the computer software project. However, training costs and the process of data conversion from the old system to the new system, which includes purging or cleansing of existing data, reconciliation or balancing of old data to the converted data in the new system, are expensed as incurred.

     Post-Implementation/Operation Stage: All training costs and maintenance costs incurred during this stage are expensed as incurred.

     Costs of upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if the expenditures will result in added functionality for the software. Capitalized software costs are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the related software, which may be up to ten years. Impairment is measured and recognized in accordance with the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” which we adopted on November 1, 2002.

Goodwill

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS 142”) requires at least an annual assessment for impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets. In addition to our annual test, we regularly evaluate whether events or circumstances have occurred which may indicate a possible impairment of goodwill.

     We believe the following methodology we use in testing impairment of goodwill, which includes significant judgments and estimates, provides us with a reasonable basis in determining whether an impairment charge should be

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

taken. In evaluating whether there is an impairment of goodwill, we calculate the estimated fair value of our company by using a methodology that considers discounted projections of our cash flows and the fair values of our debt and equity.

     We first determine our estimated projected cash flows and estimated residual values of each of our reporting units and discount those cash flows and residual values based on a selected discount rate (a discounted cash flows approach) to arrive at an estimated fair value of each reporting unit. The determination of our discount rate considers our cost of capital and the cost of capital of some of our industry peers. We then consider the average closing sales price of our common stock and the fair market value of our interest-bearing obligations to arrive at an estimate of the Company’s fair value (a market multiple approach). Our final estimate of the Company’s fair value is established considering our market multiple and discounted cash flows approaches.

     We allocate our final estimate of the Company’s fair value to our reporting units based on the relative proportion of each reporting unit’s estimated discounted cash flows to the total. A reporting unit, as defined in SFAS 142, is an operating segment or a component of a segment where (a) the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available, and (b) management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. Our reporting units consist of the EG&G Division, the domestic operations of the URS Division and the international operations of the URS Division.

     We then compare the resulting fair values by reporting units to the respective net book values, including goodwill. If the net book value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we measure the amount of the impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value (which is a reasonable estimate of the value of goodwill for the purpose of measuring an impairment loss) of the reporting unit’s goodwill to the carrying amount of that goodwill. To the extent that the carrying amount of a reporting unit’s goodwill exceeds its implied fair value, we recognize a goodwill impairment loss at that time. In evaluating whether there was an impairment of goodwill, we also take into consideration changes in our business mix and changes in our discounted cash flows, in addition to our average closing stock price. Based on our annual review of goodwill by using the above described methodology, we concluded that we did not have any impairment of goodwill as of October 31, 2004.

Purchased Intangible Assets

     We amortize our purchased intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit, ranging from three to fourteen years.

Income Taxes

     We account for income taxes in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Judgment is required in determining our worldwide provision for income taxes. In the normal course of our business, we may engage in numerous transactions every day for which the ultimate tax outcome (including the period in which the transaction will ultimately be included in taxable income or deducted as an expense) is uncertain. Additionally, we file income, franchise, gross receipts and similar tax returns in many jurisdictions. Our tax returns are subject to audit and investigation by the Internal Revenue Service, most states in the United States, and by various government agencies representing many jurisdictions outside the United States. We estimate and provide for additional income taxes that may be assessed by the various taxing authorities.

     We use the asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed annually for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Income tax expense is the amount of tax payable for the period plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

     Valuation allowances based on our judgments and estimates are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized and based on expected future operating results and available tax alternatives. Our estimates are based on facts and circumstances in existence as well as interpretations of existing tax regulations and laws applied to the facts and circumstances, with the help of professional tax advisors. Management believes that realization of deferred tax assets in excess of the valuation allowance is more likely than not.

Income Per Common Share

     Basic income per common share is computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted income per share of common stock is computed giving effect to all potentially dilutive shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive shares of common stock consist of the incremental shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of stock options and convertible preferred stock. Diluted income per share is computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders plus preferred stock dividends by the weighted-average common share and potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

     In March 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued EITF Consensus No. 03-06, “Participating Securities and the Two-class Method” (“EITF 03-06”). EITF 03-06 requires us to compute our basic earnings per share (“EPS”) by using the two-class method as we had outstanding shares of convertible participating preferred stock in the prior years. In accordance with the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share” (“SFAS 128”) and EITF 03-06, a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of basic and diluted income per common share under the two-class method is provided as follows:

     Our 6 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (“6 1/2% debentures”) are due in 2012 and are convertible into shares of our common stock at the rate of $206.30 per share. However, the effect of the assumed conversion of our 6 1/2% debentures was not included in our computation of diluted income per share because it would be anti-dilutive.

     Potential shares associated with outstanding stock options not included in our computation of diluted income per share in the periods presented were 52 thousand, 3.1 million, and 66 thousand shares, respectively for fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002. They were excluded because the exercise price of the option was greater than the average per share market value of our common stock.

Stock-Based Compensation

     We account for stock issued to employees and outside directors in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). Accordingly, compensation cost is

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

measured based on the excess, if any, of the market price of our common stock over the exercise price of a stock option, determined on the date the option is granted.

     Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure” (“SFAS 148”), requires prominent disclosure in both annual and interim financial statements of the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS 148 also requires disclosure of pro forma results on an interim basis as if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”).

     We continue to apply APB 25 and related accounting interpretations for our 1991 Stock Incentive Plan and 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”). All of our options are awarded with an exercise price that is equal to the market price of our common stock on the date of the grant and accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized in connection with options granted under the Plans. For disclosures required by SFAS 123, we use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to calculate the estimated stock option compensation expense based on the fair value of stock options granted and the following assumptions.

Adopted and Recently Issued Statements of Financial Accounting Standards

     In January 2003, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 46, “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46”), an interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements.” FIN 46 requires a variable interest entity (“VIE”) to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of that VIE. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN 46 (revised December 2003), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” (“FIN 46-R”), to address certain FIN 46 implementation issues. Although we have no special purpose entities (“SPEs”) as defined in FIN 46, we evaluated the impact of FIN 46 related to our joint ventures with third parties. We adopted FIN 46-R as of April 30, 2004.

     In general, we account for non-special purpose entities (“non-SPEs”) in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 00-01, “Investor Balance Sheet and Income Statement Display under the Equity Method for Investments in Certain Partnerships and Other Ventures” (“EITF 00-01”), or in accordance with the equity method of accounting. Our adoption of FIN 46-R did not have a material impact on the accounting for these non-SPEs and we continue to account them under the equity method or under EITF 00-01, as appropriate.

     FIN 46-R requires that all entities, regardless of whether or not a special purpose entity, created subsequent to January 31, 2003, be evaluated for consolidation purposes. We have not entered into any joint venture or partnership agreements subsequent to January 31, 2003 where the accounting for such agreements would be materially different than our historical method of accounting for such entities using the equity method or under EITF 00-01, as appropriate. Future joint venture or partnership agreements that we enter into that would require consolidation under FIN 46-R could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In addition, facts and circumstances related to existing joint ventures or partnership agreements may require consolidation in future accounting periods.

     In December 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 132 (Revised), “Employer’s Disclosure about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits” (“Revised SFAS 132”). Revised

64


Table of Contents

URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

SFAS 132 requires additional disclosures relating to assets, obligations, cash flows and net periodic benefit cost. Revised SFAS 132 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003, except that certain disclosures are effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 2004. Interim period disclosures are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2003 and were included in our Form 10-Q commencing with the period ended April 30, 2004. Our required Revised SFAS 132 disclosures are included in Note 10, “Employee Retirement Plans.”

     On December 17, 2003, the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC” or the “Staff”) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, “Revenue Recognition” (“SAB 104”), which supersedes Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements.” SAB 104’s primary purpose is to rescind accounting guidance contained in SAB 101 related to multiple element revenue arrangements, which was effectively superseded as a result of the issuance of Emerging Issues Task Force Consensus No. 00-21, “Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables” (“EITF 00-21”). While the wording of SAB 104 has changed to reflect the issuance of EITF 00-21, the revenue recognition principles of SAB 101 remain largely unchanged by the issuance of SAB 104. SAB 104 applies to our service related contracts. SAB 104 does not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

     On December 8, 2003, the Medicare Prescription Drug Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003 (the “Medicare Act”) was signed into law. The Medicare Act introduced a prescription drug benefit under Medicare (Medicare Part D) and a federal subsidy to sponsors of retirement health care plans that provide a benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. On January 12, 2004 and May 19, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 106-1 and 106-2, respectively, both entitled “Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003” (“FSP 106-1” and “FSP 106-2”). FSP 106-2 supersedes FSP 106-1. FSP 106-2 provides guidance on accounting for the effects of the Medicare Act and requires specific disclosures. Detailed regulations necessary to implement the Medicare Act have not been issued, including those that would specify the manner in which actuarial equivalency must be determined, the evidence required to demonstrate actuarial equivalency, and the documentation requirements necessary to be entitled to the subsidy. Based on an analysis of the Medicare Act, FSP 106-2, and facts available to us, we formed a conclusion that the majority of the health care benefits we provide to retirees is not actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D and therefore, the effects of the Medicare Act would not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

     If it is later determined that the drug benefit is actuarially equivalent based on new information available to us, a re-measurement of plan assets and obligations will be performed on the date that actuarial equivalence is determined and the effect of the subsidy will be treated as an actuarial gain. Based on current facts and circumstances, our measures of the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation and net periodic pension costs of our post-retirement plans do not reflect any amount associated with the subsidy. We believe that other effects of the Act to be considered at the next measurement date will not have a significant effect on our financial statements.

     On April 9, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 129-1, “Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure, Relating to Contingently Convertible Securities” (“FSP 129-1”). FSP 129-1 clarifies that the disclosure requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 129, “Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure” apply to all contingently convertible securities and to their potentially dilutive effects on earnings per share (“EPS”), including those for which the criteria for conversion have not been satisfied, and thus are not included in the computation of diluted EPS. The guidance in FSP 129-1 is effective immediately and applies to all existing and newly created securities. Our required FSP 129-1 disclosures are included above under “Income Per Common Share.” Our 6 1/2% debentures are convertible into shares of our common stock; however, the number of shares which they could be converted into is not material to our income per share computation and inclusion of the assumed conversion of our 6 1/2% debentures in our EPS computation would be anti-dilutive. As a result, the conversion effect of our 6 1/2% debentures was excluded from our diluted EPS computation at October 31, 2004.

     In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised), “Share-Based Payment” (“Revised SFAS 123”). Revised SFAS 123 replaces SFAS 123 and supersedes APB 25.

65


Table of Contents

URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Revised SFAS 123 is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. Revised SFAS 123 requires that the costs resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements. Revised SFAS 123 applies to all awards granted after the required effective date, and shall not apply to awards granted in periods before the required effective date, except if prior awards are modified, repurchased or cancelled after the effective date. Revised SFAS 123 also amends Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” to require that excess tax benefits be reported as a financing cash inflow rather than as a reduction of taxes paid.

     Adoption of Revised SFAS 123 will require us to record an expense for our equity-related compensation plans using the fair value method and will have a significant impact on our financial statements as we historically have recorded our compensation cost in accordance with APB 25, which does not require the recording of an expense for our equity related compensation plans if stocks were granted at a price equal to the fair market value of the stocks on the grant date.

     On December 21, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 109-1, “Application of FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” which provides guidance on applying FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” to the tax deduction on qualified production activities under the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (“the Act”). In addition, FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. 109-2, “Accounting and Disclosure Guidance for the Foreign Earnings Repatriation Provision within the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004,” which provides guidance on the Act’s repatriation provision. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of the FASB guidance related to qualified production activities on our effective tax rate in future periods. The FASB has also provided guidance for the appropriate point at which a Company should reflect in its financial statements the effects of a one time tax benefit on the repatriation of foreign earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of the FASB guidance related to the repatriation of foreign earnings.

     In September 2004, the Emerging Issues Task Force reached a final consensus on Issue No. 04-08, “The Effect of Contingently Convertible Debt on Diluted Earnings per Share” (“EITF 04-08”). Contingently convertible debt instruments are financial instruments that add a contingent feature to a convertible debt instrument. The conversion feature is triggered when one or more specified contingencies occur and at least one of these contingencies is based on market price. Prior to the issuance of EITF 04-08, SFAS 128 had been widely interpreted to allow the exclusion of common shares underlying contingently convertible debt instruments from the calculation of diluted “EPS” in instances where conversion depends on the achievement of a specified market price of the issuer’s shares. The consensus requires that these underlying common shares be included in the diluted EPS computations, if dilutive, regardless of whether the market price contingency or any other contingent factor has been met. The only convertible debt we had for the fiscal years 2004, 2003 and 2002 was our 6 1/2% debentures, which has no contingent conversion features, including market value triggers; therefore, EITF 04-08 has no effect to our consolidated financial statements.

Reclassifications

     We have made reclassifications to our 2003 and 2002 financial statements to conform them to the 2004 presentation. These reclassifications have no effect on consolidated net income, net cash flows and equity as they were previously reported.

     As of October 31, 2004, we had available domestic net operating losses (“NOLs”) for federal income tax purposes of $11.4 million. Utilization of the NOLs is limited pursuant to Section 1503 of the Internal Revenue Code and will be utilized against income of certain subsidiaries. $7.2 million of NOLs will be carried forward and will expire in fiscal year 2022 and $4.2 million of NOLs are available to be carried back for refund. We also have $16.6 million of foreign NOLs available, which expire at various dates. These foreign NOLs are available only to offset income earned in foreign jurisdictions.

     While we have available NOLs, which partially offset otherwise taxable income for federal income tax purposes, for state tax purposes, such amounts are not necessarily available to offset income subject to tax.

     We have recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities. Our deferred tax assets arise from temporary differences in the recognition of accruals, primarily compensation-related accruals, available net operating losses and allowances for doubtful accounts. Our current deferred tax assets at October 31, 2004 increased from the balance at October 31, 2003 due to an increase in various compensation accruals. Our current deferred tax liabilities primarily arise from temporary differences in the recognition of costs and accrued earnings in excess of billings on contracts in process. Total tax deductible goodwill resulting from the Dames & Moore and EG&G acquisitions amounted to $352.1 million. As of October 31, 2004, $211.4 million of goodwill was unamortized for tax purposes. The difference between tax and financial statement cumulative amortization on tax deductible goodwill gives rise to a long-term deferred tax liability. Our net non-current deferred tax liabilities decreased slightly, as increases in deferred tax liabilities generated by tax deductible goodwill were offset by increases in deferred tax assets related to tax credits, net operating losses and deferred compensation and pension programs.

     The change in the total valuation allowance related to deferred tax assets for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 compared to fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 and for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2003 compared to

fiscal year ended October 31, 2002, resulted from a decrease of $0.3 million attributable to the utilization of domestic net operating losses in each of the years.

     Earnings from our foreign subsidiaries are indefinitely reinvested outside of our home tax jurisdiction and thus pursuant to Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 23, “Accounting for Income Taxes — Special Areas,” we do not recognize a deferred tax liability for the tax effect of the excess of the book over tax basis of our investments in our foreign subsidiaries.

     The difference between total tax expense and the amount computed by applying the statutory federal income tax rate to income before taxes is as follows:

     The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”) was signed into law in October 2004 and has several provisions that may impact our income taxes in the future, including the repeal of the extraterritorial income exclusion, incentives for the repatriation of foreign income through December 2004, and a deduction related to qualified production activities taxable income. The FASB proposed that the qualified production activities deduction is a special deduction and will have no impact on deferred taxes existing at the enactment date. Rather, the impact of this deduction will be reported in the period in which the deduction is claimed on our tax return. We are currently evaluating the impact of the FASB guidance related to qualified production activities on our effective tax rate in future periods. The FASB also provided guidance for the appropriate point at which a Company should reflect in its financial statements the effects of a one time tax benefit on the repatriation of foreign earnings. We are currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of the FASB guidance related to the repatriation of foreign earnings.

Our Senior Secured Credit Facility

     Our Senior Secured Credit Facility (“Credit Facility”) consists of two term loans, Term Loan A and Term Loan B, and a revolving line of credit. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at either a base rate or a Eurodollar rate plus, in each case, an interest rate margin that varies with our financial performance. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, we had $353.8 million and $357.8 million in principal amounts outstanding, respectively, under the term loan facilities. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, the interest rates on Term Loan A were 3.94% and 4.39%, respectively. The interest rates on Term Loan B were 3.94% and 4.89%, respectively, at October 31, 2004 and 2003. As of October 31, 2004, we had drawn $5.3 million on our revolving line of credit and had outstanding standby letters of credit aggregating to $56.1 million, reducing the amount available to us under our revolving credit facility to $163.6 million. As of October 31, 2003, we had no outstanding balance on our revolving line of credit and had outstanding standby letters of credit aggregating to $57.5 million, reducing the amount available to us under our revolving credit facility to $142.5 million.

     Principal amounts under Term Loan A and Term Loan B became due and payable on a quarterly basis beginning January 31, 2003, with final payment due on August 22, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The revolving credit facility will expire and be payable in full on August 22, 2007.

     Our obligations under our Credit Facility, our 12 1/4% notes and our 11 1/2% notes have been substantially guaranteed by all of our domestic subsidiaries. See further discussion at Note 14, “Supplemental Guarantor Information” to our “Consolidated Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” included under Item 8 of this report.

     We have amended our Credit Facility on six separate occasions. The first amendment, dated January 30, 2003, increased our maximum leverage ratios through January 31, 2004, and increased the interest rate margins by

72


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

0.25% on our Credit Facility, but also provided that if we achieved the original leverage ratio of 3.90:1 or less at October 31, 2003, the original interest rate margins would be restored. Because we achieved this ratio, the original interest rate margins were restored in January 2004. The second amendment, dated November 6, 2003, enabled us to repurchase and redeem our 11 1/2% Senior Notes (“11 1/2% notes”), 12 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes (“12 1/4% notes”) and/or our 6 1/2% debentures with the entire proceeds of an equity issuance up to $220.0 million. The third amendment, dated December 16, 2003, reduced the interest rate margins on Term Loan B. The fourth amendment, dated March 29, 2004, increased the equity offering proceeds that could be used to repurchase or redeem our outstanding notes and debentures to $300.0 million and permitted us to borrow unsecured debt and/or use our revolving line of credit for this purpose if our leverage ratio was less than 2.50 after giving effect to the transaction. The fifth amendment, dated June 4, 2004, reduced the interest rate margins on our Credit Facility, upon attaining credit ratings of BB from Standard & Poor and Ba2 from Moody’s, to 1.0% for base rate borrowings and to 2.0% for Eurodollar borrowings. We also increased the credit limit on our revolving line of credit to $225.0 million and increased the outstanding amount of our Term Loan B by $25.0 million. The sixth amendment, dated November 29, 2004, permitted us to change our fiscal year to a calendar year.

     As of October 31, 2004, we were in compliance with all of our Credit Facility covenants.

Revolving Line of Credit

     As a part of our Credit Facility, we maintain a revolving line of credit to fund daily operating cash needs and to support standby letters of credit. During the ordinary course of business, the use of the revolving line of credit is determined by collection and disbursement activities. Our daily cash needs follow a predictable pattern that typically parallels our payroll cycles, which drive, as necessary, our short-term borrowing requirements.

     Our average daily revolving line of credit balances for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 were $22.7 million and $20.5 million, respectively. The maximum amounts outstanding at any one point in time during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 were $74.6 million and $70.0 million, respectively.

     As of October 31, 2004, we had an outstanding balance of $5.3 million under our revolving line of credit. On October 31, 2003, we had no outstanding balance. The effective average interest rates paid on the revolving line of credit during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 and 2003 were approximately 5.3% and 6.1%, respectively.

Notes

     11 1/2% Senior Notes. In August 2002, we issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount due at maturity of our 11 1/2% notes due 2009 for proceeds, net of $4.7 million of original issue discount, of approximately $195.3 million. Interest on our 11 1/2% notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on March 15, 2003. These notes are effectively subordinate to our Credit Facility, capital leases, notes payable and senior to our subordinated indebtedness, including our 12 1/4% notes, and our 6 1/2% debentures described below. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, $130.0 million and $200.0 million of the notes were outstanding, respectively.

     Substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee our 11 1/2% notes on a joint and several basis. We may redeem any of our 11 1/2% notes beginning on September 15, 2006 at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of our 11 1/2% notes so redeemed), if we do so during the 12-month period commencing on September 15 of the years set forth below, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption:

     In addition, at any time prior to or on September 15, 2005, we had the ability to redeem up to 35% of the principal amount of our 11 1/2% notes then outstanding with the net cash proceeds from the sale of capital stock. We exercised this option by redeeming $70.0 million of the principal amount of our notes on May 14, 2004 at 111.50% of the principal amount redeemed.

     If we undergo a change of control, we may be required to repurchase our 11 1/2% notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

     The indenture governing our 11 1/2% notes contains certain covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions to our stockholders, repurchase or redeem capital stock, make investments or other restricted payments, incur subordinated indebtedness secured by a lien, enter into transactions with our stockholders and affiliates, sell assets and merge or consolidate with other companies. The indenture governing our 11 1/2% notes also contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, cross-defaults, breach of covenants, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and judgment defaults. We were fully compliant with all covenants of our 11 1/2% notes as of October 31, 2004.

     12 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, we had $10 million and $200 million, respectively, of our 12 1/4% notes due 2009 outstanding. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year. Our 12 1/4% notes are effectively subordinate to our Credit Facility, our 11 1/2% notes, capital leases and notes payable.

     Substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries fully and unconditionally guarantee our 12 1/4% notes on a joint and several basis. We may redeem our 12 1/4% notes, in whole or in part, at any time on or after May 1, 2004 at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount of our 12 1/4% notes so redeemed) plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption:

     Since May 14, 2004 we redeemed $190.0 million of the notes at a redemption price of 106.125%.

     If we undergo a change of control, we may be required to repurchase our 12 1/4% notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase.

     The indenture governing our 12 1/4% notes contains certain covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions to our stockholders, repurchase or redeem capital stock, make investments or other restricted payments, incur subordinated indebtedness secured by a lien, enter into transactions with our stockholders and affiliates, sell assets and merge or consolidate with other companies. The indenture governing our 12 1/4% notes also contains customary events of default, including payment defaults, cross-defaults, breach of covenants, bankruptcy and insolvency defaults and judgment defaults. We were fully compliant with all covenants of our 12 1/4% notes as of October 31, 2004.

Debentures

     8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Debentures. As of October 31, 2003, we owed $6.5 million on our 8 5/8% debentures, all of which were retired on January 15, 2004. Interest on these debentures was payable semi-annually in January and July of each year.

     6 1/2% Convertible Subordinated Debentures. Our 6 1/2% debentures are due in 2012 and are convertible into shares of our common stock at the rate of $206.30 per share. Interest on these debentures is payable semi-annually in February and August of each year. Sinking fund payments calculated to retire 70% of our 6 1/2% debentures prior to maturity began in February 1998. Our 6 1/2% debentures are subordinate to our Credit Facility, our 11 1/2% notes, capital leases and notes payable. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, we owed $1.8 million on our 6 1/2% debentures.

Notes Payable, Foreign Credit Lines and Other Indebtedness

     As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, we had $8.8 million and $10.9 million, respectively, in outstanding notes payable. Notes payable primarily include notes used to finance the purchase of office equipment, computer equipment and furniture. These notes typically have three-year to five-year initial terms with interest rates ranging from approximately 5% to 11%. The year-end weighted average interest rate was approximately 6.2% at October 31, 2004.

     We maintain foreign lines of credit, which are collateralized by the assets of our foreign subsidiaries. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, we had no outstanding amounts and we had $3.0 million and $2.8 million available under these foreign lines of credit, respectively.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

     The fair values of our 11 1/2% notes and our 12 1/4% notes will fluctuate depending on market conditions and our performance and at times may differ from their carrying values. As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, the total aggregate fair values of our 11 1/2% notes and our 12 1/4% notes based on quoted market prices were approximately $161.5 million and $450.8 million, respectively.

Some of the operating leases are subject to renewal options and escalation based upon property taxes and operating expenses. These operating lease agreements expire at varying dates through 2014. Obligations under operating leases include building, office, and other equipment rentals. Obligations under capital leases include leases on vehicles, office equipment and other equipment.

NOTE 7. SEGMENT AND RELATED INFORMATION

     We operate our business through two segments: the URS Division and the EG&G Division. Our URS Division provides a comprehensive range of professional planning and design, program and construction management, and operations and maintenance services to the U.S. federal government, state and local government agencies, and private industry clients in the United States and internationally. Our EG&G Division provides operations and

maintenance, systems engineering and technical assistance, and program management services to various U.S. federal government agencies, primarily the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security.

     These two segments operate under separate management groups and produce discrete financial information. Their operating results also are reviewed separately by management. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The information disclosed in our consolidated financial statements is based on the two segments that comprise our current organizational structure.

     The following table presents summarized financial information of our reportable segments. Included in the “Eliminations” column are elimination of inter-segment sales and elimination of investment in subsidiaries. We have reclassified our reporting segment information for the prior years to conform to our presentation for fiscal year 2004.

NOTE 8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to certain contractual guarantees and governmental audits or investigations and we are involved in various legal proceedings that are pending against us and our subsidiaries alleging, among other things, breach of contract or tort in connection with the performance of professional services, the outcome of which cannot be predicted with certainty. Because of developments occurring during fiscal year 2004, we are including information regarding the following proceedings in particular:

  •   Saudi Arabia: Prior to our acquisition of Lear Seigler Services, Inc. (“LSI”) in August 2002, LSI provided aircraft maintenance support services on F-5 aircraft under a contract with a Saudi Arabian government ministry (the “Ministry”). LSI’s performance under the contract was completed in November 2000, but since that time various claims have been made against LSI, including breach of a joint venture and other agreements, and the failure to pay rent and taxes.
 
      Two Saudi Arabian landlords have pursued claims over disputed rents and have received judgments in Saudi Arabian legal proceedings totaling $7.9 million. We continue to pursue defense disputing these claims and judgments.
 
      During fiscal year 2004, an arbitration ruling by the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) was issued against LSI that included a monetary award of $4.9 million to a joint venture partner (the “claimant”). During August 2004, the claimant filed an action in the United States District Court in Maryland to confirm and enforce the ICC award. We are contesting the confirmation and enforceability of portions of the award.
 
      In addition, the Ministry directed payment of a performance bond issued in its favor under this contract in the amount of approximately $5.6 million. One of the conditions for closing out the contract and LSI’s obligations under the bond is the successful resolution of a pending tax assessment issued by the Saudi Arabian taxing authority assessing LSI approximately $5.1 million in taxes for the years 1999 through 2002. We disagree with the Saudi Arabian taxing authority’s assessment and are providing responses, additional information and documentation. However, Banque Saudi Fransi received the demand for release of the bond and notified LSI that it has released it to the Ministry and that it will seek to recover this amount in a proceeding against LSI. We have informed Banque Saudi Fransi that we believe the Ministry had no basis for seeking payment on the bond. LSI is also pursuing a counterclaim against the Ministry for wrongfully demanding the bond.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

      We have adequately provided for any enforceable obligations arising relative to these contingencies, based on current facts and circumstances.
 
  •   Lebanon: Prior to our acquisition of Dames and Moore Group, Inc., in 1999, which included Radian International, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary (“Radian”), Radian entered into a contract to provide environmental remediation to a Lebanese company (“Solidere”) involved in the development and reconstruction of the central district of Beirut. Various disputes have arisen under this contract, including an allegation by Solidere that Radian breached the contract by, among other things, failing to reduce the level of chemical and biological constituents, including methane gas, at the project site to the contract level. The parties sought to resolve their disputes in an arbitration proceeding filed with the ICC.
 
      During July 2004, an ICC arbitration panel ruled against Radian and ordered Radian to prepare a plan to reduce the level of methane gas at the project site to the contract level, to pay approximately $2.4 million in attorney fees and other expenses to Solidere, and authorized Solidere to withhold project payments. At October 31, 2004, Solidere had withheld project payments amounting to $11.2 million. We are complying with the terms of the ICC arbitration panel’s ruling and also continue to be actively engaged in attempting to resolve the various disputes directly with Solidere through alternate resolution strategies that may be more advantageous to both parties.
 
      Solidere is also seeking damages for delays of up to $8.5 million and has drawn upon an $8.5 million bank guarantee at Saradar Bank, Sh.M.L. (“Saradar”) and in July 2004 Saradar filed a reimbursement claim in the First Court in Beirut, Lebanon to recover the $8.5 million bank guarantee from Radian and our co-defendant Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. We believe that we are not obligated under the bank guarantee and are vigorously defending this matter.
 
      Prior to entering into the Solidere contract, Radian obtained a project-specific, $50 million insurance policy from Alpina Insurance Company (“Alpina”) a $1 million deductible which we believe is available to support our claims in excess of the deductible, which we believe is available to support our claims in excess of the deductible. The Solidere contract contains a $20 million limitation on damages. During October 2004, Alpina notified us of a denial of insurance coverage. Also, during October 2004, we filed a breach of contract and bad faith claim against Alpina in United States District Court for the Northern District of California seeking declaratory relief and monetary damages. In addition, during December 2004, Alpina paid us $375 thousand.
 
  •   Tampa-Hillsborough County Expressway Authority: In 1999, we entered into an agreement with the Tampa-Hillsborough County Expressway Authority (the “Authority”) to provide foundation design and other services in connection with the construction of the Lee Roy Selmon Elevated Expressway structure in Tampa, Florida. During 2004, one pier out of over 200 piers subsided substantially, causing damage to a segment of the Expressway. The Authority has halted construction and has indicated it intends to pursue claims against us and potentially other parties associated with the project, claiming defects related to services provided. We are working with the Authority and other parties to develop a remediation plan. Sufficient information is not currently available upon which to base an estimate of costs or to assess liabilities associated with a remediation plan.

     Currently, we have limits of $125 million per loss and $125 million in the aggregate annually for general liability, professional errors and omissions liability and contractor’s pollution liability insurance (in addition to other policies for some specific projects). These policies include self-insured claim retention amounts of $4 million, $5 million and $5 million, respectively. In some actions, parties are seeking damages, including punitive or treble damages that substantially exceed our insurance coverage or are not insured.

     Excess limits provided for these coverages are on a “claims made” basis, covering only claims actually made during the policy period currently in effect. Thus, if we do not continue to maintain these policies, we will have no coverage for claims made after the termination date – even for claims based on events that occurred during the term of

80


Table of Contents

URS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

coverage. We intend to maintain these policies; however, we may be unable to maintain existing coverage levels. We have maintained insurance without lapse for many years with limits in excess of losses sustained.

     Although the outcome of our legal proceedings, audits or investigations cannot be predicted with certainty and no assurances can be provided, based on our previous experience in such matters, we do not believe that any of the legal proceedings, audits or investigations described above, individually or collectively, are likely to exceed established loss accruals or our various professional errors and omissions, project-specific and potentially other insurance policies and, therefore, we do not believe that they are likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     As of October 31, 2004, we had the following guarantee obligations and commitments:

     We have guaranteed the credit facility of EC III, LLC, a 50%-owned, unconsolidated joint venture, in the event of a default by the joint venture. This joint venture was formed in the ordinary course of business to perform a contract for the federal government. The term of the guarantee is equal to the remaining term of the underlying debt, which is 16 months. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we could be required to make under this guarantee at October 31, 2004, was $6.5 million.

     We also maintain a variety of commercial commitments that are generally made to support provisions of our contracts. In addition, in the ordinary course of business we provide letters of credit to clients and others against advance payments and to support other business arrangements. We are required to reimburse the issuers of letters of credit for any payments they make under the letters of credit.

     From time to time, we may provide guarantees related to our services or work. If our services under a guaranteed project are later determined to have resulted in a material defect or other material deficiency, then we may be responsible for monetary damages or other legal remedies. When sufficient information about claims on guaranteed projects is available and monetary damages or other costs or losses are determined to be probable, we recognize such guarantee losses. Currently, we have no guarantee claims for which losses have been recognized.

NOTE 9. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

     Declaration of dividends, except preferred stock dividends, is restricted by our Credit Facility and the indentures governing our 12 1/4% notes and our 11 1/2% notes. Declaration of dividends may be precluded by existing Delaware law.

     On October 12, 1999, the stockholders approved the 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (“1999 Plan”). An aggregate of 1,500,000 shares of common stock initially has been reserved for issuance under the 1999 Plan. In July 2000, an additional 1,076,000 shares were reserved for issuance under the 1999 Plan. The 1999 Plan provides for an automatic reload of shares every July 1 equal to the lesser of 5% or 1.5 million shares of the outstanding common stock through 2009. As of October 31, 2004, we had reserved approximately 8,124,000 shares and had issued options and restricted stock in the aggregate amount of approximately 6,896,000 shares under the 1999 Plan.

     On March 26, 1991, the stockholders approved the 1991 Stock Incentive Plan (“1991 Plan”). The 1991 Plan provides for the grant not to exceed 3,310,000 restricted shares, stock units and options. When the 1999 Plan was approved, the remaining shares available for grant under the 1991 Plan were added to the 1999 Plan.

     Stock options expire in ten years from the date of grant and vest over service periods that range from three to five years.

     Under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESP Plan”) implemented in September 1985, employees may purchase shares of common stock through payroll deductions of up to 10% of the employee’s base pay. Contributions are credited to each participant’s account on the last day of each six-month participation period of the ESP Plan (which commences on January 1 and July 1 of each year). The purchase price for each share of common stock is the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

lower of 85% of the fair market value of such share on the first day (or the preceding day if the first day is not a trading day) in the participation period or 85% of the fair market value of such share on the last day (or the preceding day if the last day is not a trading day) in the participation period. Employees purchased 637,570 shares under the ESP Plan in fiscal 2004 and 787,483 shares in fiscal 2003.

Common Stock

     During April 2004, we sold an aggregate of 8.1 million shares of our common stock through an underwritten public offering. The offering price of our common stock was $26.50 per share and the total offering proceeds to us were $204.3 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering-related expenses of $10.5 million.

Authorized Common and Preferred Stock

     On July 23, 2003, we filed a Certificate of Elimination with the State of Delaware so that none of our authorized shares of our Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Exchangeable Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), Series C Preferred Stock, Series D Senior Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), and Series E Cumulative Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) would be outstanding or issuable. In addition, on March 24, 2004, we filed a Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation with the State of Delaware to increase the total authorized number of shares of all classes of our stock to one hundred million shares of common stock and three million shares of preferred stock.

     Before July 23, 2003, we had authorized the issuance of 150,000 shares of $1.00 par value, Series B Preferred Stock, 100,000 shares of $0.01 par value, Series D Preferred Stock, and 100,000 shares of $0.01 par value, Series E Preferred Stock. We did not have any shares of Series D Preferred Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2004 and 2003 because our Series D Preferred Stock was converted to our common stock during fiscal year 2003. In addition, we did not have any shares of Series E Preferred Stock or Series B Preferred Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2004 and 2003.

NOTE 10. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS

     Our defined contribution retirement plans under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) cover all full-time employees, who are at least 18 years of age. Our contributions to the defined contribution retirement plans are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. During the fiscal years 2004, 2003, 2002, we made contributions in the amounts of $13.0 million, $11.0 million and $12.5 million to the defined contribution retirement plans, respectively.

     Effective January 1, 2005, three of our defined contribution retirement plans will merge into one single plan, the URS Corporation 401(k) Plan.

     Some of our foreign subsidiaries have contributory trustee retirement plans covering substantially all of their employees. We made contributions in the amounts of approximately $4.4 million and $5.1 million for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2004, and 2003, respectively.

Executive Plan

     In July 1999, as amended and restated in September 2003, we entered into a Supplemental Executive Retirement Agreement (the “Executive Plan”) with Martin M. Koffel, our Chief Executive Officer (the “Executive”) to provide an annual lifetime retirement benefit. Benefits are based on the Executive’s final average annual compensation and his age at the time of his employment termination. “Final average compensation” means the higher of (1) the sum of the Executive’s base salary plus target bonus established for him under our incentive compensation program during the selected consecutive 36 months in his final 60 months of employment in which that average was the highest and (2) $1,600,000. As there is no funding requirement for the Executive Plan, the benefit payable shall be “unfunded,” as that term is used in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), 401(a)(10) and 4021(a)(6) of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act (“ERISA”). As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, there were no plan assets under the Executive Plan. We measure pension costs according to actuarial valuations and the projected unit credit cost method is used to determine pension cost for financial accounting purposes.

Radian SERP and SCA

     In fiscal year 1999, we acquired and assumed certain of Radian International, L.L.C.’s defined benefit pension plans (“Radian pension plans”), and several post-retirement benefit plans. These retirement plans cover a selected group of Radian employees and former employees who will continue to be eligible to participate in the retirement plans.

     The Radian defined pension plans include a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“Radian SERP”) and Salary Continuation Agreement (“SCA”) which are intended to supplement retirement benefits provided by other benefit plans upon the participant’s meeting minimum age and years of service requirements. The Radian SERP and SCA provide benefits based on fixed amounts of historical compensation and therefore increases in compensation do not need to be considered in our calculation of the projected benefit obligation or periodic pension cost related to these plans. As there is no funding requirement for the Radian SERP and SCA, the benefit payable shall be “unfunded,” as that term is used in Sections 201(2), 301(a)(3), 401(a)(10) and 4021(a)(6) of the Employee Retirement Income Securities Act (“ERISA”). As of October 31, 2004 and 2003, there were no plan assets under the Radian SERP and SCA and these plans are unfunded. However, at October 31, 2004 and 2003, we had designated and deposited $3.2 million and $4.0 million, respectively, in a trust account for the Radian SERP. The decrease in our designated deposit balance from October 31, 2003 to October 31, 2004 was due to benefit payments made. Radian also has a post-retirement benefit program that provides certain medical insurance benefits to participants upon meeting minimum age and years of service requirements. This post-retirement benefit program is also unfunded and the historical costs, accumulated benefit obligation and projected benefit obligation for this post-retirement benefit program are not significant. We measure pension costs according to actuarial valuations and the projected unit credit cost method is used to determine pension cost for financial accounting purposes.

     Management’s estimates of benefit obligations and assumptions used to measure those obligations for the Radian SERP and SCA as of October 31, 2004 and 2003, are as follows:

EG&G pension plan and EG&G post-retirement medical plan

     In fiscal year 2002, we acquired and assumed the obligations of EG&G Technical Services, Inc.’s defined benefit pension plan (“EG&G pension plan”) and post-retirement medical plan (“EG&G post-retirement medical plan”). These plans cover some of our hourly and salaried employees of the EG&G Division and a joint venture that the EG&G division participates in.

     The EG&G pension plan provides retirement benefit payments for the life of participating retired employees. The EG&G post-retirement medical plan provides certain medical benefits to employees that meet certain eligibility requirements. All of these benefits may be subject to deductibles, co-payment provisions, and other limitations. As discussed in Note 1 to our consolidated financial statements, based on an analysis of the Medicare Act, FSP 106-2, and facts available to us, we formed a conclusion that the majority of the health care benefits we provide to retirees is not actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D and therefore, our measures of the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation and net periodic pension costs of our post-retirement plans do not reflect any amount associated with the subsidy. We measure our pension costs according to actuarial valuations and the projected unit credit cost method is used to determine pension costs for financial accounting purposes.

     Management’s estimates of benefit obligations and assumptions used to measure those obligations for the EG&G pension plan at October 31, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:

(1)   During fiscal year 2003, management decided not to offer the EG&G pension plan to new employees. In addition, effective January 1, 2004, management modified the prospective benefit calculation to the career average compensation of participants rather than their final compensation as previously calculated.

(1)   Our assumption used in determining the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was based on an actuarial analysis. This analysis includes a review of anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes and consideration of the appropriate asset allocation strategy given the anticipated requirements of the plan to determine the

Table of Contents

    average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested to provide for the pension plan benefits. While the study gives appropriate consideration to recent fund performance and historical returns, the assumption is primarily a long-term, prospective rate. Based on our most recent analysis, our expected long-term rate of return assumption for our EG&G pension plan will remain at 8.5% effective November 1, 2004.
 
(2)   We re-measured our EG&G pension plan at December 31, 2003 due to the plan amendment included above.

The EG&G pension plan asset allocations at October 31, 2004 and 2003 by asset category are as follows:

Total
    100 %     100 %


(1)   Equity securities do not include our common stock at both October 31, 2004 and 2003.

     We maintain our target allocation percentages based on our investment policy established for the EG&G pension plan, which is designed to achieve long term objectives of return, while mitigating against downside risk and considering expected cash flows. Our investment policy is reviewed from time to time to ensure consistency with our long term objective of funding at or near 90% of the projected benefit obligation. The current weighted-average target asset allocation is as follows:

Equity Securities
  90-95%
Debt Securities
  0-5%
Real estate

     We made cash contributions of approximately $1.1 million during November 2004 and we expect to make cash contributions during fiscal year 2005 of approximately $5.1 million to the EG&G pension plan.

(1)   Our assumption used in determining the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets was based on an actuarial analysis. This analysis includes a review of anticipated future long-term performance of individual asset classes and consideration of the appropriate asset allocation strategy given the anticipated requirements of the plan to determine the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested to provide for the pension plan benefits. While the study gives appropriate consideration to recent fund performance and historical returns, the assumption is primarily a long-term, prospective rate. Based on our most recent analysis, our expected long-term rate of return assumption for our EG&G post-retirement medical plan will remain at 8.5% effective November 1, 2004.

    2009       2009  

     Assumed health care costs trend rates have a significant effect on the health care plan. A one percentage point change in assumed health care costs trend rates would have the following effects on net periodic cost for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 and the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation as of October 31, 2004:

     We maintain our target allocation percentages based on our investment policy established for the EG&G post-retirement medical plan, which is designed to achieve long term objectives of return, while mitigating against downside risk and considering expected cash flows. Our investment policy is reviewed from time to time to ensure consistency with our long term objective of funding at or near 90% of the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation. The current weighted-average target asset allocation is as follows:

NOTE 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On November 30, 2004, our board of directors approved a change in our future fiscal year ends from October 31 to the Friday closest to December 31. As such, the period from November 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004 will be treated as a transition period, for which we will file a transition report on Form 10-Q by February 9, 2005. Further, effective January 1, 2005, we will begin reporting our financial results on a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to December 31st, with interim quarters ending on the Fridays closest to March 31st, June 30th and September 30th. Our 2004 fiscal year began on November 1, 2003 and ended on October 31, 2004.

NOTE 14. SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

     Substantially all of our domestic subsidiaries have guaranteed our obligations under our Credit Facility, our 12 1/4% notes and our 11 1/2% notes (collectively, the “Notes”). Each of the subsidiary guarantors has fully and unconditionally guaranteed our obligations on a joint and several basis.

     Substantially all of our income and cash flows are generated by our subsidiaries. We have no operating assets or operations other than our investments in our subsidiaries. As a result, funds necessary to meet our debt service obligations are provided in large part by distributions or advances from our subsidiaries. Financial conditions and operating requirements of the subsidiary guarantors may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries for the purposes of meeting our debt service obligations, including the payment of principal and interest on our Notes and our Credit Facility. In addition, although the terms of our Notes and our Credit Facility limit us and our subsidiary guarantors’ ability to place contractual restrictions on the flows of funds to us, legal restrictions, including local regulations, and contractual obligations associated with secured loans, such as equipment financings, at the subsidiary level may restrict the subsidiary guarantors’ ability to pay dividends, make loans or other distributions to us.

     Other restrictions imposed by our Notes and our Credit Facility include restrictions on us and our subsidiary guarantors’ ability to:

  •   incur additional indebtedness and contingent obligations;
 
  •   pay dividends and make distributions to our stockholders;
 
  •   repurchase or redeem our stock;
 
  •   repay indebtedness that is junior to our Credit Facility or our outstanding notes;
 
  •   make investments and other restricted payments;
 
  •   create liens securing debt or other encumbrances on our assets;
 
  •   acquire the assets of, or merge or consolidate with, other companies;
 
  •   sell or exchange assets;
 
  •   make capital expenditures;
 
  •   enter into sale-leaseback transactions; and
 
  •   enter into transactions with our shareholders and affiliates.

     In addition, if a change of control occurs, each holder of the notes will have the right to require us to repurchase all or part of the holder’s notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes, plus any accrued interest to the date of repurchase.

     The following information sets forth our condensed consolidating balance sheets as of October 31, 2004 and 2003; our condensed consolidating statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three fiscal years ended October 31, 2004; and our condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the three fiscal years ended October 31, 2004, which included the financial position and results of operations of EG&G, as a “subsidiary guarantor” from the date of acquisition forward. The EG&G acquisition was accounted for under the purchase accounting method. Entries necessary to consolidate our subsidiaries are reflected in the eliminations column. Our separate complete financial statements and our subsidiaries that guarantee our Notes would not provide additional material information that would be useful in assessing the financial composition of such subsidiaries.

ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

    None.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     (a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer are responsible for establishing and maintaining “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in rules promulgated under the Exchange Act) for our company. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this report, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were sufficiently effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Annual Report on Form 10-K was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and Form 10-K.

     (b) Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the year ended October 31, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

     (c) Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives, and the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective at the “reasonable assurance” level.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

     The following disclosures would otherwise have been filed on Form 8-K under the heading “Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.”

Adjustments to Bonus Plan Performance Targets for Fiscal Year 2004

     Most of our executive officers and selected senior managers (“Designated Participants”) participate annually in our 1999 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Bonus Plan”). Under the Bonus Plan, the Designated Participants are eligible to earn annual bonuses based on formulas tied to certain predefined financial performance targets that are established annually by our Compensation Committee. Each Designated Participant is assigned a “Target Bonus” at the beginning of the fiscal year, expressed as a percentage of his or her base salary. The Target Bonuses for our executive officers for fiscal year 2004 were as follows: Martin Koffel, 100%; Kent Ainsworth, 65%; Thomas Bishop, 50%; Reed Brimhall, 50%; Gary Jandegian, 65%; Joseph Masters, 50%; Mary Sullivan, 50%; and Randall Wotring, 55%. If the financial performance targets are met, each Designated Participant’s bonus is equal to the Target Bonus. If performance targets are not met, bonuses are determined as a declining percentage of Target Bonuses depending on the extent of the shortfall. No bonus is paid under the Bonus Plan if predetermined minimum financial performance targets are not met. Conversely, if performance targets are exceeded, then bonuses may be earned in excess of the Target Bonus up to a maximum of two times the Target Bonus.

     For fiscal year 2004, a minimum corporate net income target was a prerequisite for all Designated Participants under the Bonus Plan. In addition, the corporate net income target was the sole financial measurement used to determine bonuses for Mr. Koffel, Mr. Ainsworth, Mr. Brimhall, Mr. Masters, and Ms. Sullivan, and operating profit contribution from their respective divisions was an additional financial measurement for Mr. Bishop, Mr. Jandegian and Mr. Wotring.

     As described under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of this report, during fiscal year 2004 we redeemed $70.0 million of our 11 1/2% notes and $190.0 million of our 12 1/4 % notes and, as a result, recognized a pre-tax charge of $28.2 million. This pre-tax charge caused our net income to fall below the predetermined minimum corporate net income target, thus disqualifying all Designated Participants from receiving a payment under the Bonus Plan. In the absence of this pre-tax charge, corporate net income would have exceeded the minimum financial performance target.

     On January 11, 2005, the Compensation Committee acted pursuant to its authority under the Bonus Plan to adjust retroactively the corporate financial performance target to equal actual corporate net income for fiscal year 2004. The Committee determined that the note redemptions, which had not been contemplated at the time the minimum corporate net income target was initially established, benefited our long-term interests and those of our stockholders by reducing our debt and leverage ratios. As a result, the Committee determined that the impact of the note redemptions should be disregarded for purposes of determining whether the minimum financial performance targets had been achieved for fiscal year 2004. This determination had the effect of entitling all Designated Participants to receive payments under the Bonus Plan and specifically entitled Mr. Koffel, Mr. Ainsworth, Mr. Brimhall, Mr. Masters, and Ms. Sullivan to receive 100% of their respective Target Bonuses, and Mr. Wotring to receive 161% of his Target Bonus, for fiscal year 2004.

     In addition, the Compensation Committee retroactively adjusted the minimum URS Division operating profit contribution target downwards from 95% of a predefined number to equal the actual contribution, which actual contribution was only slightly below the predefined number. In the absence of an adjustment, Mr. Bishop and Mr. Jandegian would have been ineligible to receive bonuses for fiscal year 2004. The Committee’s action had the effect of awarding Mr. Bishop and Mr. Jandegian 51% and 38% of their respective Target Bonuses. The Committee determined that the original target had been too aggressive and that a retroactive adjustment was reasonable and appropriate.

     These adjustments disqualified the 2004 Target Bonuses as “performance-based compensation” under 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. As a result, we will incur an incremental tax cost of less than $500,000 in 2005 resulting from the loss of deductibility of non-qualifying compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to senior executives. The Committee has determined this cost to be reasonable relative to the benefits of awarding the bonuses under the Bonus Plan.

Adoption of Bonus Plan Performance Targets for 2005

     The Compensation Committee established the following Target Bonuses for our executive officers with respect to their participation in the Bonus Plan for fiscal year 2005: Martin Koffel, 100%; Kent Ainsworth, 75%; Thomas Bishop, 60%; Reed Brimhall, 55%; Gary Jandegian, 75%; Joseph Masters, 60%; Mary Sullivan, 55%; and Randall Wotring, 75%. On January 11, 2005, the Committee established the financial performance targets for fiscal year 2005 for the Designated Participants. As was the case for the fiscal year 2004 Bonus Plan, for fiscal year 2005, if the financial performance targets are met, each Designated Participant’s bonus will be equal to the Target Bonus. If performance targets are not met, bonuses will be determined as a declining percentage of Target Bonuses depending on the extent of the shortfall. No bonus will be paid under the Bonus Plan if a Designated Participant fails to achieve predetermined minimum financial performance targets. Conversely, if performance targets are exceeded, then bonuses may be earned in excess of the Target Bonus up to a maximum of two times the Target Bonus.

     The Committee also established the financial performance targets under the Bonus Plan. For fiscal year 2005, a minimum corporate net income target is a prerequisite for all Designated Participants under the Bonus Plan. In addition, the corporate net income target will be the sole financial measurement used to determine bonuses for Mr. Koffel, Mr. Ainsworth, Mr. Brimhall, Mr. Masters, and Ms. Sullivan, and operating profit contribution from their respective divisions will be an additional financial measurement for Mr. Bishop, Mr. Jandegian and Mr. Wotring.

     The Committee will have the discretion to adjust financial results for one-time, non-recurring events that were not anticipated in the original fiscal year 2005 performance plan and are allowable under the rules of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code to qualify as “performance-based” awards.

     The Committee also established a supplemental award pool to allow for performance recognition during the November/December 2004 transition period. That two-month transition period will not be considered part of our

fiscal year 2005 as a result of the change in our fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31, beginning on January 1, 2005. The payout of bonuses in connection with the transition period will occur at the end of the 2005 performance period based on achievement of the fiscal year 2005 financial performance targets.

     If no record date is fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or stockholders entitled to receive payment of a dividend, the date on which notice of the meeting is mailed or the date on which the resolution of the Board of Directors declaring such dividend is adopted, as the case may be, shall be the record date for such determination of stockholders.

The Board of Directors may direct a new certificate or certificates to be issued in place of any certificate or certificates theretofore issued by the Corporation alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the person claiming the certificate or stock to be lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate or certificates, the Board of Directors may, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or destroyed certificate or certificates, or his legal representatives, to advertise the same in such manner as it shall require and/or to give the Corporation a bond in such sum as it may direct as indemnity against any claim that may be made against the Corporation with respect to the certificate alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed.

     Section 13. Transfers of Stock. Upon surrender to the Corporation or the transfer agent of the Corporation of a certificate for shares duly endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer, it shall be the duty of the Corporation to issue a new certificate to the person entitled thereto, cancel the old certificate and record the transaction upon its books.

A director who attends a meeting shall be deemed to have had timely and proper notice thereof, unless he attends for the express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

     Section 11. Quorum and Manner of Acting. A majority of the number of directors at the time fixed by these Bylaws shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business.

     A majority of any such committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business, and the act of a majority of those present at any meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the committee. Members of any such committee shall act only as a committee and the individual members shall have no power as such.

The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.

     B. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation and except that

 


 

no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of his duty to the Corporation unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.

     C. To the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in subsections A or B, or in defense or any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

     D. Any indemnification under subsections A or B (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director or officer is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subsections A and B. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, or, if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, (2) by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.

     E. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee, or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation as authorized in this section.

     F. The indemnification provided by this section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any statute, bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in other capacity while holding such office. The indemnification provided by these Bylaws shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.

     G. The Corporation shall have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this section.

ARTICLE VII. AMENDMENTS

 


 

     Section 1. By the Directors. The Board of Directors by a majority vote thereof shall have the power to make, alter, amend or repeal the Bylaws of the Corporation at any regular or special meeting of the Board.

     Section 2. By the Stockholders. All Bylaws shall be subject to amendment, alteration or repeal by the stockholders entitled to vote at any annual or special meeting.

If, however, such quorum shall not be present or represented at any meeting of the shareholders, the shareholders present in person or represented by proxy shall have power to adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present or represented.

Certificates shall be signed by the chairman or vice-chairman of the board or the president or a vice-president and the secretary or an assistant secretary or the treasurer or an assistant treasurer of the corporation and may be sealed with the seal of the corporation or a facsimile thereof.

     When the corporation is authorized to issue shares of more than one class, there shall be set forth upon the face or back of the certificate, or the certificate shall have a statement that the corporation will furnish to any shareholder upon request and without charge, a full statement of the designation, relative rights, preferences, and limitations of the shares of each class authorized to be issued and, if the corporation is authorized to issue any class of preferred shares in series, the designation, relative rights, preferences and limitations of each such series so far as the same have been fixed and the authority of the board of directors to designate and fix the relative rights, preferences and limitations of other series.

In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer at the date of issue.

LOST CERTIFICATES

     Section 3. The board of directors may direct a new certificate to be issued in place of any certificate theretofore issued by the corporation alleged to have been lost or destroyed. When authorizing such issue of a new certificate, the board of directors, in its discretion and as a condition precedent to the issuance thereof, may prescribe such terms and conditions as it deems expedient, and may require such indemnities as it deems adequate, to protect the corporation from any claim that may be made against it with respect to any such certificate alleged to have been lost or destroyed.

Such date shall not be more than sixty nor less than ten days before the date of any meeting nor more than sixty days prior to any other action. When a determination of shareholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall apply to any adjournment thereof, unless the board fixes a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

LIST OF SHAREHOLDERS

     Section 7. A list of shareholders as of the record date, certified by the corporate officer responsible for its preparation or by a transfer agent, shall be produced at any meeting upon the request thereat or prior thereto of any shareholder.

Attachment I

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

 


 

URS Corporation
1999 Incentive Equity Plan

Restricted Stock Award Agreement for                                         

     Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Award Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Restricted Stock Award Agreement (collectively, the “Award”) and in consideration of your past services, URS Corporation (the “Company”) has awarded you a restricted stock award under its 1999 Incentive Equity Plan (the “Plan”) for the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock subject to the Award indicated in the Grant Notice. Except where indicated otherwise, defined terms not explicitly defined in this Restricted Stock Award Agreement but defined in the Plan shall have the same definitions as in the Plan.

     The details of your Award are as follows:

     1. Vesting. Subject to the limitations contained herein, your Award shall vest as provided in your Grant Notice, provided that vesting shall cease upon the termination of your Continuous Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, your Award shall become vested in its entirety either (i) if, prior to the termination of your Continuous Service, a Change in Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement, dated as of                     , between you and the Company, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Employment Agreement”)) occurs, or (ii) in the circumstances provided in Section 12(c) of the Plan. The shares subject to your Award will be held by the Company until your interest in such shares vests. As each portion of your interest in the shares vests, the Company shall issue you a stock certificate covering such vested shares.

     2. Number of Shares. The number of shares subject to your Award may be adjusted from time to time for Capitalization Adjustments, as provided in the Plan.

     3. Payment. This Award was granted in consideration of your past services to the Company and its Affiliates. You will not be required to make any payment to the Company with respect to your receipt of the Award or the vesting thereof.

     4. Securities Law Compliance. You will not be issued any shares under your Award unless the shares are either (a) then registered under the Securities Act or (b) the Company has determined that such issuance would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Your Award must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the Award, and you will not receive such shares if the Company determines that such receipt would not be in material compliance with such laws and regulations.

     5. Transfer Restrictions. Prior to the time that they have vested, you may not transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of the shares subject to the Award. For example, you may not use shares subject to the Award that have not vested as security for a loan. In addition, you may not transfer, pledge, sell or otherwise dispose of the shares subject to the Award that have vested at any time when applicable securities laws or Company policies would prohibit such a transfer. This restriction on the transfer of vested shares will lapse upon your termination of Continuous Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may, by delivering written notice to

1.


 

the Company, in a form satisfactory to the Company, designate a third party who, in the event of your death, shall thereafter be entitled to receive vested shares as of the date of your death.

     6. Termination of Continuous Service.

          (a) Except as may be provided in your Employment Agreement (subject, however, to Section 1 hereof), in the event your Continuous Service terminates for reasons other than your death or Disability (as that term is defined in your Employment Agreement), you will be credited with the vesting that has accrued under your Award as of the date of your termination of Continuous Service. Except as may be provided in your Employment Agreement (subject, however, to Section 1 hereof), you will accrue no additional vesting of your Award following your termination of Continuous Service. To the extent your Award is not vested on the date of your termination, it shall automatically lapse on such date.

          (b) In the event your Continuous Service terminates due to your death, the Award automatically shall become vested in full as of the date of your death and your rights under the Award shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution; provided, however, that you may designate a beneficiary to receive your vested shares as set forth in Section 5 hereof.

          (c) In the event your Continuous Service terminates due to your Disability (as that term is defined in your Employment Agreement), the Award automatically shall become vested in full as of the date of your termination of Continuous Service.

     7. Restrictive Legends. The shares issued under your Award shall be endorsed with appropriate legends determined by the Company.

     8. Rights as a Stockholder. You shall exercise all rights and privileges of a stockholder of the Company with respect to the shares subject to your Award. You shall be deemed to be the holder of the shares for purposes of receiving any dividends which may be paid with respect to such shares and for purposes of exercising any voting rights relating to such shares, even if some or all of such shares have not yet vested.

     9. Award not a Service Contract. Your Award is not an employment or service contract, and nothing in your Award shall be deemed to (i) alter the terms of your Employment Agreement or (ii) create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ of the Company or any Affiliate thereof, or on the part of the Company or any Affiliate thereof to continue your employment or service. In addition, nothing in your Award shall obligate the Company or any Affiliate thereof, their respective stockholders, boards of directors, officers or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a director or consultant for the Company or any Affiliate thereof.

     10. Withholding Obligations.

          (a) At the time your Award is made, or at any time thereafter as requested by the Company, you hereby authorize withholding from payroll and any other amounts payable to you, and otherwise agree to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or any Affiliate thereof, if

2.


 

any, which arise in connection with your Award. Such withholding obligations may be satisfied by your relinquishment of your right to receive a portion of the shares otherwise issuable to you pursuant to the Award; provided, however, that you shall not be authorized to relinquish your right to shares with a fair market value in excess of the amount required to satisfy the minimum amount of tax required to be withheld by law.

          (b) Unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any Affiliate thereof are satisfied, the Company shall have no obligation to issue a certificate for such shares or release such shares from any escrow provided for herein.

     11. Tax Consequences. The acquisition and vesting of the shares may have adverse tax consequences to you that may be mitigated by filing an election under Section 83(b) of the Code. Such election must be filed within thirty (30) days after the date of the grant of your Award. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT IS YOUR OWN RESPONSIBILITY, AND NOT THE COMPANY’S, TO FILE A TIMELY ELECTION UNDER CODE SECTION 83(B), EVEN IF YOU REQUEST THE COMPANY TO MAKE THE FILING ON YOUR BEHALF.

     12. Notices. Any notices provided for in your Award or the Plan shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon receipt or, in the case of notices delivered by the Company to you, five (5) days after deposit in the United States mail, postage prepaid, addressed to you at the last address you provided to the Company.

     13. Miscellaneous.

          (a)  The rights and obligations of the Company under your Award shall be transferable to any one or more persons or entities, and all covenants and agreements hereunder shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and assigns. Your rights and obligations under your Award may only be assigned with the prior written consent of the Company.

          (b) You agree upon request to execute any further documents or instruments necessary or desirable in the sole determination of the Company to carry out the purposes or intent of your Award.

          (c) You acknowledge and agree that you have reviewed your Award in its entirety, have had an opportunity to obtain the advice of counsel prior to executing and accepting your Award and fully understand all provisions of your Award.

     14. Governing Plan Document. Your Award is subject to all the provisions of the Plan, the provisions of which are hereby made a part of your Award, and is further subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations which may from time to time be promulgated and adopted pursuant to the Plan. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of your Award and those of the Plan, the provisions of the Plan shall control.
