OPERATING SEGMENTS

We have two reportable segments, the Construction Services segment and the Repair and Maintenance Services segment. See Note 13., Segment Information, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for segment, geographic and market information. We also offer services to our customers where our two business segments work together to provide a combination of services. Customers utilize our services to construct or expand operating facilities, improve operating efficiencies, maintain existing facilities and to comply with stringent environmental and safety regulations. Our projects range in duration from a few days to multiple year contracts, which can be performed as one-time contracts or as part of long-term alliance agreements. We are able to provide services and respond to our customer’s requirements for both union and merit shop operations.

Construction Services

Our Construction Services segment provides turnkey and specialty construction to many industries. Our scope of services includes civil/structural, mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, millwrighting, and fabrication. These services are provided for projects of varying complexities, schedule durations, and budgets. Our project experience includes retrofits, modifications and expansions to existing facilities as well as construction of new facilities.

Repair and Maintenance Services

Our Repair and Maintenance Services segment encompasses a wide range of routine, preventative, and emergency repair and maintenances services. Our ability to provide multiple services allows us to serve as a single source provider to our clients for their repair and maintenance needs.

MARKETS WITHIN OPERATING SEGMENTS

Within these two operating segments we serve four primary markets:

Table of Contents

Aboveground Storage Tanks

One of the cornerstones of our business has been, and continues to be, aboveground storage tanks (“AST”). We offer complete engineering, procurement, and construction (“EPC”) services as well as fabrication services for the bulk storage / terminal industry as well as the refining, petrochemical, pipeline and power industries. We are one of the largest AST constructors in North America. Our expertise includes cone roof tanks, dome roof tanks, open top floating roof tanks, geodesic domes, and specialty tanks. Our personnel are well versed in American Petroleum Institute (“API”) standards and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (“ASME”) code work in both atmospheric and pressure storage vessels.

Every AST project is designed in accordance with applicable industry standards, codes and regulations. With the teams that we have assembled, we have the knowledge and experience to comply with all applicable specifications to ensure that all quality requirements are met. In response to environmental requirements for control of vapor emissions and leak containment, we have developed many unique designs and devices such as floating roof seal systems, dike liners, and other products. Our product offerings include dikes and liners, steel internal floating roofs, tank double bottoms, and primary and secondary seals. Every product we offer is engineered to meet our customers’ quality specifications.

One of our most significant areas of expertise is our turnkey tank and terminal construction service. Our tank design and EPC services allow our clients to be confident that the project will meet safety and quality objectives and be completed within time and budget constraints. As a general contractor, we offer a single point of contact, with the capability to perform the civil and site preparation, foundations, liners, mechanical, piping, structural, tank design, engineering, fabrication and construction.

Our tank repair and maintenance services are a key component of our core business. We are one of the largest tank repair and maintenance contractors in the United States with a reputation for quality, safety and reliability. AST repair and maintenance services include replacements/repairs to tank bottoms, shells, nozzles, roof structures, steel floating roofs, seals and manways for tanks of all sizes. We provide tank cleaning, foundation repair/replacement and complete tank relocation utilizing air lifting technology.

Downstream Petroleum

Our construction experience in the downstream petroleum market includes refineries, pipelines, petrochemical plants and gas facilities. This includes turnkey construction work for new or existing facilities, renovations, upgrades and expansion projects. We have developed many long-term relationships with our customers and, as a result, much of our work is repeat business.

Repair and maintenance services for the downstream petroleum industry are typically classified as either refinery maintenance or turnarounds.

Plant maintenance contracts are agreements to provide outsourcing of maintenance management and the multiple crafts necessary to provide routine and preventive maintenance services for a facility. A typical maintenance contract includes planning and scheduling and active participation in or development of reliability programs, including the development of performance metrics. These services include safety implementation and quality assurance /quality control management.

Contracts for planned major maintenance activities are generally of short duration, but require detailed scheduling and advanced planning to assure the availability of qualified personnel and specialty equipment that are needed to complete the work in the shortest possible timeframe. We are committed to delivering all services on time, within budget and schedule constraints, and most importantly, in a safe manner.

Specialty

Liquefied Natural Gas/Industrial Gas Projects/Liquefied Petroleum Gas

Matrix Service engineers, fabricates and constructs refrigerated and cryogenic liquefied gas storage tanks for the storage of ammonia, butane, carbon dioxide, ethane, methane, argon, nitrogen, oxygen, propane and other products. We recently enhanced and expanded our capabilities though the acquisition of assets, technology and resources used for the design and construction of cryogenic storage tanks, including liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) tanks, liquid nitrogen/liquid oxygen (“LIN/LOX”) tanks and liquid petroleum (“LPG”) tanks. These tanks are utilized by our customers in the chemical, petrochemical and gas industries.

Specialty Tanks and Vessels

Our specialty tank and vessel expertise includes aerobic/anaerobic digesters, clarifiers, egg shaped digesters, spheres, petroleum scrubbers/absorbers, flare tips, thermal vacuum chambers and other pressure vessels. We have also expanded our specialty tank and vessel capabilities, in particular, our thermal vacuum chamber expertise with the recent asset and technology purchase. These tanks and vessels are used throughout the petroleum, chemical, power, aerospace and waste water industries.

Power Projects

Our construction service offerings for the power industry includes stacks, stack liners, ducting, scrubbers, absorbers, and waste to energy facilities. Repair and maintenance services include providing repair, maintenance, and outage services for the power industry. Our onsite maintenance services include routine maintenance that includes cleaning fans, changing lube oil coolers and maintaining gas turbines, heat recovery steam generators and other equipment. We also provide turbine disassembly, inspection and repair.

Fabrication

Through our facilities we provide large scale fabrication services for our operating units and our customers throughout the United States and Canada. These facilities are staffed with qualified personnel and utilize sophisticated tooling and equipment. Our fabrication facilities specialize in steel plate, structural steel and vessel fabrication utilizing carbon steels, stainless steels and specialty alloy metals. Our largest fabrication facility is centrally located in the United States. This 227,900 sq. ft. facility in Oklahoma is located at the Port of Catoosa,

the most inland port in the United States with barge, rail and truck access. The facility has the capacity to fabricate new tanks, new tank components and all maintenance, retrofit and repair parts, including fixed roofs, floating roofs, seal assemblies, shell plate and tank appurtenances. This facility is qualified to fabricate equipment in adherence to ASME codes and regulations including pressure vessels, stacks/stackliners, scrubbers, ducting, flare stacks and igniter tips.

In order to leverage the expertise recently gained though the acquisition of assets, technology and resources used for the design and construction of cryogenic and specialty storage tanks and to maximize the utilization and opportunities of our fabrication facility, we are in the process of fulfilling the necessary requirements to obtain ASME’s Certificate of Authorization to build Nuclear Components (“N Stamp”) both in the fabrication facility and in the field.

OTHER BUSINESS MATTERS

Customers and Marketing

Matrix Service derives a significant portion of its revenues from performing services for major integrated oil companies, independent petroleum refiners, and pipeline, terminal and marketing companies. In fiscal 2009, these customer types accounted for 86% of consolidated revenues. The loss of significant work from any of these classes of customers or an overall decline in the petroleum industry would have a material adverse effect on the Company. Matrix Service also performs services for power companies, engineering firms, general contractors, and petrochemical and industrial gas companies. The Company provided services to approximately 380 customers in fiscal 2009. The following table provides a list of any customer that accounted for greater than 10% of either our Construction Services or Repair and Maintenance Services revenue for the twelve months ended May 31, 2009:

The loss of any of these major customers could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Matrix Service markets its services and products primarily through its marketing and business development personnel, senior professional staff and its operating management. The marketing personnel concentrate on developing new customers and assisting management with existing customers. We enjoy many preferred provider relationships with customers who award our work through long-term agreements. In addition, we competitively bid many projects. Our projects have durations of a few days to multiple years.

Segment Financial Information

Financial information for our operating segments is provided in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in Note 13. Segment Information of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Competition

Matrix Service competes with regional and national contractors in both the Construction Services and Repair and Maintenance Services segments. Competitors generally vary with the markets we serve with few

6

Table of Contents

competitors competing in all of the markets we serve or for all of the services we provide. Contracts are generally awarded based on reputation for quality, customer satisfaction, safety record and programs, price and schedule compliance. We believe that our turnkey capability, expertise, experience and reputation for providing safe, timely, and quality services allow us to compete effectively.

Backlog

We define backlog as the total dollar amount of revenues that we expect to recognize as a result of performing work that has been awarded to us through a signed contract that we consider firm. The following contract types are considered firm:

For long-term maintenance contracts we include only the amounts that we expect to recognize into revenue over the next 12 months. For all other arrangements, we calculate backlog as the estimated contract amount less revenues recognized as of the reporting date.

The following table provides a rollforward of our backlog from May 31, 2008 to May 31, 2009:

At May 31, 2009, the Construction Services segment had a backlog of $233.6 million, as compared to a backlog of $325.3 million as of May 31, 2008. The decrease of $91.7 million is due to declines in Aboveground Storage Tank of $79.5 million, Downstream Petroleum of $11.5 million and Electrical and Instrumentation of $6.6 million, partially offset by an increase in Specialty of $5.9 million. The backlog at May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008 for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment was $167.5 million and $142.0 million, respectively. The increase of $25.5 million was due to increases in Downstream Petroleum of $16.4 million and Electrical and Instrumentation of $15.6 million, partially offset by a decrease in Aboveground Storage Tank of $6.5 million. Approximately 94% of our backlog at May 31, 2009 is expected to be completed in fiscal year 2010.

Seasonality

Planned maintenance projects at customer facilities are typically scheduled in the spring and the fall when the demand for energy is lower. As a result, quarterly operating results in the Repair and Maintenance Services segment can fluctuate materially. The Construction Services segment typically has a lower level of operating activity during the winter months and early in the calendar year because many of our customers’ capital budgets have been spent or have not been finalized.

Raw Material Sources and Availability

Steel plate and steel pipe are the primary raw materials used by the Company. Supplies of these materials are available throughout the United States and globally from numerous sources. We anticipate that adequate amounts of these materials will be available in the foreseeable future, however, the price, quantity, and the delivery schedules of these materials could change rapidly due to various factors, including producer capacity, the level of foreign imports, worldwide demand, tariffs on imported steel and other market conditions.

Insurance

The Company maintains insurance coverage for various aspects of our operations. However, exposure to potential losses is retained through the use of deductibles, coverage limits and self-insured retentions.

Typically our contracts require us to indemnify our customers for injury, damage or loss arising from the performance of our services and provide for warranties for materials and workmanship. The Company may also be required to name the customer as an additional insured under certain insurance policies up to the limits of insurance available, or we may have to purchase special insurance policies or surety bonds for specific customers or provide letters of credit issued under our credit facility in lieu of bonds to satisfy performance and financial guarantees on some projects. Matrix Service maintains a performance and payment bonding line sufficient to support the business. The Company generally requires its subcontractors to indemnify the Company and the Company’s customer and name the Company as an additional insured for activities arising out of the subcontractors’ presence at the customer’s location. We also require certain subcontractors to provide additional insurance policies, including surety bonds in favor of the Company, to secure the subcontractors’ work or as required by the subcontract.

There can be no assurance that our insurance and the additional insurance coverage provided by our subcontractors will fully protect us against a valid claim or loss under the contracts with our customers.

Employees

As of May 31, 2009, we had 2,818 employees of which 464 were employed in non-field positions and 2,354 were employed in field or shop positions. The number of employees varies significantly throughout the year because of the number, type and size of projects we have in progress at any particular time.

We maintain separate merit shop and union operations. In our union business, we operate under collective bargaining agreements with various unions representing different groups of our employees. Union agreements provide the union employees with benefits including health and welfare, pension, training programs and compensation plans. We have not experienced any significant strikes or work stoppages in recent years. We maintain health and welfare, retirement and training programs for our merit shop and most administrative employees.

Attracting and retaining high quality employees is important to our continued success and continues to be a top priority of the Company. Therefore, we have continued our professional development programs for employees in key disciplines.

Patents and Proprietary Technology

Matrix Service has several patents, patents pending, and continues to pursue new ideas and innovations to better serve our customers in all areas of our business. The Matrix Service patents under the Flex-A-Span^® and Flex-A-Seal^® trademarks are utilized to cover seals for floating roof tanks. Our patent of our ThermoStor^® diffuser system is for a process that receives, stores and dispenses both chilled and warm water in and from the same storage tank. The patented RS 1000 Tank Mixer^® controls sludge build-up in crude oil tanks through resuspension. We also have a patent on our Flex-A-Swivel^®, a swivel joint for floating roof drain systems. The

8

Table of Contents

Valve Shield^® patent relates to a flexible fluid containment system that captures and contains fluid leaking from pipe and valve connections. The patent for Spacerless or Geocomposite Double Bottom for Storage Tanks relates to a replacement bottom with leak detection and containment that allows for the retrofitting of an existing tank while minimizing the loss of capacity. The patent for the Training Tank for Personnel Entry, Exit and Rescue relates to a mobile device that can be used to train personnel on equipment that is made to simulate real world hazards.

The Company acquired a perpetual license to use various patents and proprietary technologies of CB&I Inc. pursuant to a Technology Transfer Agreement dated December 20, 2008. These patents and technology relate to LNG storage tanks, LIN/LOX storage tanks, LPG storage tanks and thermal vacuum chambers. We believe that the ability to use these patents and technology will enable us to expand our presence in the markets for these products and will minimize the development costs typically associated with organic growth.

While we believe that continued product development and the protection of our patents are important to our business, we do not believe that these patents or purchased technology are essential to our success.

Regulation

Health and Safety Regulations

The operations of the Company are subject to the requirements of the United States Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), comparable state laws and the Canadian Workers’ Compensation Board and its Workplace Health, Safety and Compensation Commission. Regulations promulgated by these agencies require employers and independent contractors who perform construction services, including electrical and repair and maintenance, to implement work practices, medical surveillance systems and personnel protection programs in order to protect employees from workplace hazards and exposure to hazardous chemicals and materials. In recognition of the potential for accidents within various scopes of work, these agencies have enacted very strict and comprehensive safety regulations. The Company has established comprehensive programs for complying with health and safety regulations to protect the safety of its workers, subcontractors and customers. While the Company believes that it operates safely and prudently, there can be no assurance that accidents will not occur or that the Company will not incur substantial liability in connection with the operation of its business.

Environmental

The Company’s operations are subject to extensive and changing environmental laws and regulations in the United States and Canada. These laws and regulations relate primarily to air and water pollutants and the management and disposal of hazardous materials. The Company is exposed to potential liability for personal injury or property damage caused by any release, spill, exposure or other accident involving such pollutants, substances or hazardous materials.

In order to limit costs incurred as a result of environmental exposure, the Company has purchased contractor’s pollution liability insurance policies that cover liability we may incur as a result of accidental releases of hazardous materials at customer or operating locations, including our fabrication facilities in Oklahoma and California.

The Company believes that it is currently in compliance, in all material aspects, with all applicable environmental laws and regulations. The Company does not expect any material charges in subsequent periods relating to environmental conditions that currently exist and does not foresee any significant future capital spending relating to environmental matters.

Risk Factors Related to Our Business

Demand for our products and services is cyclical and is vulnerable to the level of capital and maintenance spending of our customers and to downturns in the industries and markets we serve as well as conditions in the general economy.

The demand for our products and services depends upon the existence of construction and repair and maintenance projects in the downstream petroleum, power and other heavy industries in the United States and Canada. The capital budgets of many of our customers are largely dependent on commodity prices, which have historically been volatile. Therefore, it is likely that our business will continue to be cyclical in nature and vulnerable to general downturns in the United States and Canadian economies and declines in commodity prices, which could adversely affect the demand for our products and services. Occasionally, the timing of the demand for our products and services in certain of these markets can also be adversely affected during periods of strong economic growth as customers may postpone closing their facilities for maintenance, repair, turnaround or expansion projects while demand for their products and their margins remain high. As a consequence of these and other factors, our results of operations have varied in the past and may experience significant periods of volatility in future periods.

Our Construction Services segment’s revenue and cash flow are dependent upon engineering and construction projects. The availability of these types of projects is dependent upon the economic condition of the oil, gas, and power industries, specifically, the level of capital expenditures of oil, gas and power companies on infrastructure. The current disruption in credit and capital markets, as well as a severe recession in North America have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the level of capital expenditures of oil, gas and power companies and/or their ability to finance these expenditures. Our failure to obtain projects, a delay in the award of projects, a cancellation of projects or delays in completion of contracts are factors that could result in under-utilization of our resources, which would have an adverse impact on our revenue and cash flow. There are numerous factors beyond our control that influence the level of capital expenditures of oil, gas and power companies, including:

Our Repair and Maintenance Services segment’s revenue and cash flow are dependent upon maintenance plans by the oil, gas and power industries. The current disruption in credit and capital markets, as well as a severe recession in North America have had and may continue to have an adverse impact on the level and timing of maintenance expenditures of oil, gas and power companies. Our failure to obtain projects, a delay in the award of projects, a cancellation of projects or project commencement delays are factors the could result in under-utilization of our resources, which would have an adverse impact on our revenue and cash flow.

Our results of operations depend upon the award of new contracts and the timing of those awards.

Our revenues are derived primarily from contracts awarded on a project-by-project basis. Generally, it is difficult to predict whether and when we will be awarded a new contract due to lengthy and complex bidding and

10

Table of Contents

selection processes, changes in existing or forecasted market conditions, access to financing, governmental regulations, permitting and environmental matters. Because our revenues are derived primarily from contract awards, our results of operations and cash flows can fluctuate materially from period to period.

The uncertainty associated with the timing of contract awards may reduce our short-term profitability as we balance our current capacity with expectations of future contract awards. If an expected contract award is delayed or not received, we could incur costs to maintain an idle workforce that may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations. Alternatively, we may decide that our long-term interests are best served by reducing our workforce and incurring increased costs associated with severance and termination benefits which also could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations for the period when incurred. Reducing our workforce could also impact our results of operations if we are unable to adequately staff projects that are awarded subsequent to a workforce reduction.

We face substantial competition in each of our business segments, which may have a material adverse effect on our business.

We face competition in all areas of our business from regional, national and international competitors, many of which may have greater financial strength and more resources. Our competitors include small family owned businesses to well-established, well-financed entities, both privately and publicly held, including many major equipment manufacturers, large engineering and construction companies, internal engineering departments and specialty contractors. The markets we serve require substantial resources and, in particular, highly skilled and experienced technical personnel. We compete primarily on the basis of price, customer satisfaction, safety performance and programs, quality of our products and services, and schedule. We may encounter increased competition from existing competitors or new market entrants in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations. In particular, as a result of the impact of the current recession on capital, and to a lesser degree, maintenance spending, we may experience pressure on our operating margins if our competitors accept lower margins in order to maintain their current level of business activity to cover their fixed overhead costs.

Our backlog is subject to unexpected fluctuations, adjustments, cancellations and does not include the full value of our long-term maintenance contracts, and therefore, may not be a reliable indicator of our future earnings.

Backlog may not be a reliable indicator of our future performance. We cannot guarantee that the revenue projected in our backlog will be realized or profitable. Projects may remain in our backlog for an extended period of time. In addition, project cancellations or scope adjustments may occur from time to time with respect to contracts reflected in our backlog that could reduce the dollar amount of our backlog and the revenue and profits that we actually earn. Many of our contracts have termination rights, therefore, project terminations, suspensions or scope adjustments may occur from time to time with respect to contracts in our backlog. Finally, poor project or contract performance could impact our backlog and profits.

The loss of one or more of our significant customers could adversely affect us.

From time to time due to the size of one or more of our contracts, one or more customers have in the past and may in the future contribute a material portion to our consolidated revenues in any one year. Because these significant customers generally contract with us for specific projects, we may lose these customers from year to year as the projects are completed. If we do not replace these projects or customers, our financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected. Additionally, we have long-standing alliance relationships with many significant customers. However, our contracts with these customers are on a project-by-project basis, and these customers may unilaterally reduce or discontinue their use of our services at any time. The loss of business from any one of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.

11

Table of Contents

The terms of our contracts could expose us to unforeseen costs and costs not within our control, which may not be recoverable and could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

In the current market, our customers are requiring that we bid more jobs on a fixed price basis; therefore, we expect that fixed price contracts will comprise a greater percentage of our total backlog than in recent years. Under fixed-price contracts, we agree to perform the contract for a fixed-price and, as a result, can improve our expected profit by superior contract performance, productivity, worker safety and other factors resulting in cost savings. However, we could incur cost overruns above the approved contract price, which may not be recoverable. Under certain incentive fixed-price contracts, we may agree to share with a customer a portion of any savings we are able to generate while the customer agrees to bear a portion of any increased costs we may incur up to a negotiated ceiling. To the extent costs exceed the negotiated ceiling price, we may be required to absorb some or all of the cost overruns.

Fixed-price contract prices are established based largely upon estimates and assumptions relating to project scope and specifications, personnel, material needs, and site conditions. These estimates and assumptions may prove inaccurate or conditions may change due to factors out of our control, resulting in cost overruns, which we may be required to absorb and which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of our operations. In addition, our profits from these contracts could decrease and we could experience losses if we incur difficulties in performing the contracts or are unable to secure fixed-pricing commitments from our manufacturers, suppliers and subcontractors at the time we enter into fixed-price contracts with our customers.

Under cost-plus contracts, we perform our services in return for payment of our agreed upon reimbursable costs plus a profit. The profit component is typically expressed in the contract either as a percentage of the reimbursable costs we actually incur or is factored into the rates we charge for labor or for the cost of equipment and materials, if any, we are required to provide. Some cost-plus contracts provide for the customer’s review of the accounting and cost control systems used by us to calculate these labor rates and to verify the accuracy of the reimbursable costs invoiced. These reviews could result in reductions in amounts previously billed to the customer and in adjustments to amounts previously reported by us as profit on the contract.

Many of our fixed-price or cost-plus contracts require us to satisfy specified progress milestones or performance standards in order to receive a payment. Under these types of arrangements, we may incur significant costs for labor, equipment and supplies prior to receipt of payment. If the customer fails or refuses to pay us for any reason, there is no assurance we will be able to collect amounts due to us for costs previously incurred. In some cases, we may find it necessary to terminate subcontracts with suppliers engaged by us to assist in performing a contract and we may incur costs or penalties for canceling our commitments to them.

If we are unable to collect amounts owed to us under our contracts, we may be required to record a charge against previously recognized earnings related to the project, and our liquidity, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

We may incur significant costs in providing services in excess of original project scope without having an approved change order.

After commencement of a contract, we may perform, without the benefit of an approved change order from the customer, additional services requested by the customer that were not contemplated in our contract price due to customer changes or to incomplete or inaccurate engineering, project specifications and other similar information provided to us by the customer or the customer’s representative or agent. Our construction contracts generally require the customer to compensate us for additional work or expenses incurred under these circumstances.

A failure to obtain adequate compensation for these matters could require us to record in the current period an adjustment to revenue and profit recognized in prior periods under the percentage-of-completion accounting

method. Any such adjustments, if substantial, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition, particularly for the period in which such adjustments are made. We cannot assure you that we will be successful in obtaining, through negotiation, arbitration, litigation or otherwise, approved change orders in an amount adequate to compensate us for our additional work or expenses.

Our profitability could be negatively impacted if we are not able to maintain adequate utilization of our workforce

The costs of providing our services to customers, including the extent to which we utilize our workforce, affect our profitability. If we do not invest in building our business for the future, our long-term profitability will be negatively impacted. If we under-utilize our workforce, our project gross margins and overall profitability will suffer in the short-term. If we over utilize our workforce, we may negatively impact safety, employee satisfaction and project execution, which could result in a decline of future project awards. The utilization of our workforce is impacted by numerous factors including:

Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions that we use to prepare our financial statements.

To prepare financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles, management is required to make estimates and assumptions, as of the date of the financial statements, which affect the reported values of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. Areas requiring significant estimation by our management include:

Our actual results could differ from these estimates.

There are integration and consolidation risks associated with our growth strategy. Future acquisitions may result in significant transaction expenses, unexpected liabilities and risks associated with entering new markets, and we may be unable to profitably operate these businesses.

An aspect of our business strategy is to make strategic acquisitions in markets where we currently operate as well as in markets in which we have not previously operated. We may have difficulties identifying attractive acquisition candidates or we may be unable to acquire desired businesses on economically acceptable terms during periods of elevated mergers and acquisition activity or for other reasons. Additionally, existing or future competitors may desire to compete with us for acquisition candidates that may have the effect of increasing acquisition costs or reducing the number of suitable acquisition candidates.

We may not have the financial resources necessary to consummate any acquisitions or the ability to obtain the necessary funds on satisfactory terms. We may not have sufficient management, financial and other resources to integrate future acquisitions. Any future acquisitions may result in significant transaction expenses, unexpected liabilities and risks associated with entering new markets in addition to the integration and consolidation risks. In the event we are unable to complete future strategic acquisitions, we may not grow in accordance with our expectations.

If we make any future acquisitions, we likely will have exposure to third parties for liabilities of the acquired business that may or may not be adequately covered by insurance or by indemnification, if any, from the former owners of the acquired business. Any of these unexpected liabilities could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We may encounter difficulties during the course of performing our contracts that may result in additional costs to us and a reduction in our revenues and earnings that could have an adverse effect upon our financial condition and results of operations.

Many of our construction and repair and maintenance projects are performed over extended periods of time and involve complex design and engineering specifications. In these cases, it is common for us to perform work from time-to-time over the life of the project that is outside the scope of the original contract with the expectation of receiving a signed change order from the customer. Our contracts for these projects often require us to provide extensive project management and to obtain machinery, equipment, materials and services from third parties or the customer. We may encounter difficulties in obtaining these products and services on a timely basis. In some cases, these third-party provided products may not perform as expected or the services delivered may not meet contract specifications. These performance failures and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, may result in delays and additional costs to us including, in some cases, the cost of procuring alternate product or service providers, which may adversely impact our ability to complete a project on budget and in accordance with the original delivery schedule. To the extent these and the other matters referred to in the next paragraph occur, we may seek to recover any increased costs incurred by us from the responsible party; however, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in recovering all or a part of these costs in any or all circumstances.

In certain circumstances, we guarantee project completion or the achievement of certain acceptance and performance testing levels by a scheduled date. Failure to meet schedule or performance requirements could result in additional costs to us, including lost incentive payments and the payment of contractually agreed liquidated damages. The amount of such additional costs could exceed our profit margins on the project. While we may seek to recover these amounts as claims from the supplier, vendor, subcontractor or other third party responsible for the delay or for providing non-conforming products or services, we cannot assure you that we will recover all or any part of these costs in all circumstances. Performance problems for existing and future projects could cause our actual results of operations to differ materially from those anticipated by us and could damage our reputation within our industry and our customer base.

Unsatisfactory safety performance can affect customer relationships, result in higher operating costs, negatively impact employee morale and result in higher employee turnover.

Workplace safety is important to the Company, our employees, and our customers. As a result, we maintain extensive safety programs and provide frequent safety training to all applicable employees at all levels of our organization. While we make every effort to protect people and property, our work is performed at construction sites and in industrial facilities and our workers are subject to the normal hazards associated with providing these services. Even with proper safety precautions, these hazards can lead to personal injury, loss of life, damage to, or destruction of property, plant and equipment, and environmental damage. We are intensely focused on maintaining a strong safety environment and reducing the risk of accidents to the lowest possible level. Poor safety performance may result in lost revenue and profitability or in lost customer relationships that could materially increase future insurance and other operating costs.

Our growth strategy requires that we increase the size of our workforce from time to time which may require us to hire inexperienced employees. Even with thorough training, inexperienced employees have a higher likelihood of injury which could lead to higher operating costs and insurance rates.

An inability to attract and retain qualified personnel, and in particular, engineers, project managers and skilled craft workers, could impact our ability to perform on our contracts, which could harm our business and impair our future revenues and profitability.

Our ability to attract and retain qualified engineers, project managers, skilled craftsmen and other experienced professionals in accordance with our needs is an important factor in our ability to maintain and increase profitability. The market for these professionals is competitive, particularly during periods of economic growth when the supply is limited. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to retain or attract qualified personnel when needed. Therefore, when we anticipate or experience growing demand for our services, we may incur additional cost to maintain a professional staff in excess of our current contract needs in an effort to have sufficient qualified personnel available to address this anticipated demand. If we do incur additional compensation and benefit costs, our customer contracts may not allow us to pass through these costs.

Competent and experienced engineers, project managers, and craft workers are especially critical to the profitable performance of our contracts, particularly on our fixed-price contracts where superior design and execution of the project can result in profits greater than originally estimated or where inferior design and project execution can reduce or eliminate estimated profits or even result in a loss.

Our project managers are involved in most aspects of contracting and contract execution including:

Work stoppages and other labor problems could adversely affect us.

Some of our employees are represented by labor unions. The Company has in excess of 50 collective bargaining agreements with various labor unions. The most significant agreements and the expiration dates include the following:

The Company is also working under a number of other agreements that cover a smaller number of employees. These agreements expire within the next five years. For those agreements with upcoming expiration dates, the Company is currently negotiating renewals and expects that the renewals will be successfully completed. To date, the Company has not experienced any significant work stoppages or other significant labor problems in connection with collective bargaining agreements the Company works under. A lengthy strike or other work stoppage on any of our projects could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations due to an inability to complete contracted projects in a timely manner. From time to time, we have also experienced attempts to unionize certain of our merit employees. While these efforts have only achieved limited success to date, we cannot provide any assurance that we will not experience additional and more successful union activity in the future.

Future events, including those associated with our growth strategy, could negatively affect our liquidity position.

We can provide no assurance that we will have sufficient cash from operations or the credit capacity to meet all of our future cash needs should we encounter significant working capital requirements or incur significant acquisition costs. Insufficient cash from operations, significant working capital requirements, and contract disputes have in the past, and could in the future, reduce availability under our credit facility and impact our ability to comply with the terms of our credit agreement.

Our use of percentage-of-completion accounting for fixed-price contracts and our reporting of profits for cost-plus contracts prior to contract completion could result in a reduction or elimination of previously reported profits.

A material portion of our revenues are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. The percentage-of-completion accounting practices that we use result in our recognizing fixed-price contract revenues and earnings ratably over the contract term based on the proportion of actual costs incurred to our estimated contract costs. The earnings or losses recognized on individual fixed-price contracts are based on estimates of contract revenues, costs and profitability. We review our estimates of contract revenues, costs and profitability on a monthly basis. Prior to contract completion, we may adjust our estimates on one or more occasions as a result of changes in cost estimates, change orders to the original contract, collection disputes with the customer on amounts invoiced or claims against the customer for increased costs incurred by us due to customer-induced delays and other factors.

Contract losses are recognized in the fiscal period when the loss is determined. Contract profit estimates are also adjusted in the fiscal period in which it is determined that an adjustment is required. No restatements are made to prior periods. Further, a number of our contracts contain various cost and performance incentives and penalties that impact the earnings we realize from our contracts, and adjustments related to these incentives and penalties are recorded in the period when estimable.

16

Table of Contents

As a result of the requirements of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, the possibility exists, for example, that we could have estimated and reported a profit on a contract over several prior periods and later determine, usually near contract completion, that all or a portion of such previously estimated and reported profits were overstated. If this occurs, the full aggregate amount of the overstatement will be reported for the period in which such determination is made, thereby eliminating all or a portion of any profits from all other contracts that would have otherwise been reported in such period or even resulting in a loss being reported for such period.

Our financial loss exposure on cost-plus contracts is generally limited to a portion of our profit on the contract. However, it is possible that the customer could successfully dispute the costs we believe we incurred on the contract or assert that our costs were excessive for reasons such as poor project management or labor productivity. In addition, some cost-plus contracts contain penalty provisions for failure to achieve certain milestones or performance standards. To the extent we are not able to recover the full amount of our costs under a cost-plus contract, including adjustments under contract penalty provisions, there would be a reduction, or possibly an elimination, of previously recognized and reported earnings. In certain circumstances, it is possible that such adjustments could be material to our operating results.

We are involved and are likely to continue to be involved in legal proceedings, which will increase our costs and, if adversely determined, could have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We are currently a defendant in legal proceedings arising from the operation of our business and it is reasonable to expect that we would be named in future actions. Most of the actions against us arise out of the normal course of performing services on project sites, and include claims for workers’ compensation, personal injury and property damage. From time to time, we are also named as a defendant in contract disputes with customers relating to the timeliness and quality of the performance of our services and equipment, materials, design or other services provided by subcontractors and third-party suppliers. We also are, and are likely to continue to be, a plaintiff in legal proceedings against customers seeking to recover payment of contractual amounts due to us as well as claims for increased costs incurred by us resulting from, among other things, services performed by us at the request of a customer that are in excess of original project scope that are later disputed by the customer and customer-caused delays in our contract performance.

We maintain insurance against operating hazards in amounts that we believe are customary in our industry. However, our insurance has deductibles and exclusions of coverage so we cannot provide assurance that we are adequately insured against all the types of risks that are associated with the conduct of our business. A successful claim brought against us in excess of, or outside of, our insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Litigation, regardless of its outcome, is expensive, typically diverts the efforts of our management away from operations for varying periods of time, and can disrupt or otherwise adversely impact our relationships with current or potential customers and suppliers. Payment and claim disputes with customers may also cause us to incur increased interest costs resulting from incurring indebtedness under our revolving line of credit or receiving less interest income resulting from fewer funds invested due to the failure to receive payment for disputed claims and accounts.

Employee, subcontractor or partner misconduct or our overall failure to comply with laws or regulations could harm our reputation, damage our relationships with customers, reduce our revenues and profits, and subject us to criminal and civil enforcement actions.

Misconduct, fraud, non-compliance with applicable laws and regulations, or other improper activities by one of our employees, subcontractors or partners could have a significant negative impact on our business and reputation. Such misconduct could include the failure to comply with safety standards, laws and regulations, customer requirements, regulations pertaining to the internal controls over financial reporting, environmental

17

Table of Contents

laws and any other applicable laws or regulations. The precautions we take to prevent and detect these activities may not be effective, since our internal controls are subject to inherent limitations, including human error, the possibility that controls could be circumvented or become inadequate because of changed conditions, and fraud.

Our failure to comply with applicable laws or regulations or acts of misconduct could subject us to fines and penalties, harm our reputation, damage our relationships with customers, reduce our revenues and profits and subject us to criminal and civil enforcement actions.

We rely on internally and externally developed software applications and systems to support critical functions including project management, estimating, human resources, accounting, and financial reporting. Any sudden loss, disruption or unexpected costs to maintain these systems could significantly increase our operational expense as well as disrupt the management of our business operations.

We rely on various software systems to operate our critical operating and administrative functions. We depend on our software vendors to provide long-term software maintenance support for our information systems. Software vendors may decide to discontinue further development, integration or long-term software maintenance support for our information systems, in which case we may need to abandon one or more of our current information systems and migrate some or all of our project management, human resources, estimating, accounting and financial information to other systems, thus increasing our operational expense as well as disrupting the management of our business operations.

We are susceptible to adverse weather conditions, which may harm our business and financial results.

Our business may be adversely affected by severe weather in areas where we have significant operations. Repercussions of severe weather conditions may include:

Our projects expose us to potential professional liability, product liability, warranty and other claims, which could be expensive, damage our reputation and harm our business. We may not be able to obtain or maintain adequate insurance to cover these claims.

We perform construction and maintenance services at large industrial facilities where accidents or system failures can be disastrous and costly. Any catastrophic occurrence in excess of our insurance limits at locations engineered or constructed by us or where our products are installed or services performed could result in significant professional liability, product liability, warranty and other claims against us by our customers, including claims for cost overruns and the failure of the project to meet contractually specified milestones or performance standards. Further, the rendering of our services on these projects could expose us to risks, and claims by, third parties and governmental agencies for personal injuries, property damage and environmental matters, among others. Any claim, regardless of its merit or eventual outcome, could result in substantial costs, divert management’s attention and create negative publicity, particularly for claims relating to environmental matters where the amount of the claim could be extremely large. Insurance coverage is increasingly expensive and we may not be able to or may choose not to obtain or maintain adequate protection against the types of claims described above. If we are unable to obtain insurance at an acceptable cost or otherwise protect against the claims described above, we will be exposed to significant liabilities, which may materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Environmental factors and changes in laws and regulations could increase our costs and liabilities.

Our operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations, including those concerning:

Our projects often involve highly regulated materials, including hazardous wastes. Environmental laws and regulations generally impose limitations and standards for regulated materials and require us to obtain permits and comply with various other requirements. The improper characterization, handling, or disposal of regulated materials or any other failure by us to comply with federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations or associated environmental permits could subject us to the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, the imposition of investigatory or remedial obligations, or the issuance of injunctions that could restrict or prevent our ability to operate our business and complete contracted projects.

In addition, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), and comparable state laws, we may be required to investigate and remediate regulated materials. CERCLA and the comparable state laws typically impose liability without regard to whether a company knew of or caused the release, and liability for the entire cost of clean-up can be imposed upon any responsible party.

We are subject to numerous other laws and regulations including those related to the environment, workplace, employment, health and safety. These laws and regulations are complex, change frequently and could become more stringent in the future. It is impossible to predict the effect on us of any future changes to these laws and regulations. We cannot be assured that our operations will continue to comply with future laws and regulations or that the costs to comply with these laws and regulations and/or a failure to comply with these laws will not significantly adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Earnings for future periods may be affected by impairment charges.

Because we have grown in part through acquisitions, goodwill and other acquired intangible assets represent a substantial portion of our assets. We perform an annual goodwill impairment review in the fourth quarter of every fiscal year. In addition, we perform a goodwill impairment review whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. At some future date, we may determine that an additional significant impairment has occurred in the value of our unamortized intangible assets, goodwill or fixed assets, which could require us to write off an additional portion of our assets and could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.

Earnings for future periods may be negatively impacted by foreign currency exchange rates

We are exposed to financial risk as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The exposure relates to receivables, payables, and intercompany loans utilized to finance foreign subsidiaries in Canada. While the current exposure is not significant, future growth in foreign operations may expose the Company to additional risk which we will seek to minimize through our contracting strategies, cash management, and, depending on the magnitude of the risk, we may utilize currency hedging.

Our credit facility imposes restrictions that may limit business alternatives.

Our senior revolving credit facility contains covenants that restrict or limit our ability to incur additional debt, create liens, acquire or dispose of assets, repurchase equity, or make distributions. In addition, our credit

19

Table of Contents

facility requires that we comply with a number of financial covenants. These covenants and restrictions may impact our ability to effectively execute operating and strategic plans. Our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by factors or events beyond our control; therefore, our future operating performance may not be sufficient to comply with the required covenants.

Our failure to comply with one or more of the covenants in our credit facility could result in an event of default. We can provide no assurance that a default could be remedied, or that our creditors would grant a waiver or amend the terms of the credit facility. If an event of default occurs, our lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the facility to be immediately due and payable, terminate all commitments, refuse to extend further credit, and require us to provide cash to collateralize any outstanding letters of credit. If an event of default occurs and the lenders under the credit facility accelerate the maturity of any loans or other debt outstanding, we may not have sufficient liquidity to repay amounts outstanding under the existing agreement.

We are exposed to credit risk from customers. If we experience delays and/or defaults in customer payments, we could suffer liquidity problems or we could be unable to recover all expenditures.

Because of the nature of our contracts, at times we commit resources to customer projects prior to receiving payments from customers in amounts sufficient to cover expenditures on the customer projects as they are incurred. Delays in customer payments may require us to make a working capital investment. If customers default in making payments on projects to which we have devoted significant resources, it could have an adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

We may need to raise additional capital in the future for working capital, capital expenditures and/or acquisitions, and we may not be able to do so on favorable terms or at all, which would impair our ability to operate our business or achieve our growth objectives.

To the extent that cash flow from operations, together with available borrowings under our credit facility, are insufficient to make future investments, make acquisitions or provide needed additional working capital, we may require additional financing from other sources. Our ability to obtain such additional financing in the future will depend in part upon prevailing capital market conditions, as well as conditions in our business and our operating results; and those factors may affect our efforts to arrange additional financing on terms that are satisfactory to us. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to make future investments, take advantage of acquisitions or other opportunities, or respond to competitive challenges.

Risk Factors Related to Our Common Stock

Our common stock, which is listed on the NASDAQ Global Market, has from time-to-time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations are likely to continue in the future, and our stockholders may not be able to resell their shares of common stock at or above the purchase price paid.

The market price of our common stock may change significantly in response to various factors and events beyond our control, including the following:

20

Table of Contents

Some companies that have volatile market prices for their securities have been subject to security class action suits filed against them. If a suit were to be filed against us, regardless of the outcome, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources. This could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Future sales of our common stock may depress our stock price.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or otherwise, either by us, a member of management or a major stockholder, or the perception that these sales could occur, could depress the market price of our common stock and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities.

We may issue additional equity securities, which would lead to dilution of our issued and outstanding stock.

The issuance of additional common stock or securities convertible into our common stock would result in dilution of the ownership interest in us held by existing stockholders. We are authorized to issue, without stockholder approval 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, in one or more series, which may give other stockholders dividend conversion, voting, and liquidation rights, among other rights, which may be superior to the rights of holders of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has no present intention of issuing any such preferred stock series, but reserves the right to do so in the future. In addition, we are authorized to issue, without stockholder approval, a significant number of additional shares of our common stock and securities convertible into either common stock or preferred stock.

None.

Price Range of Common Stock

Our common stock trades on the Global Market System of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Automated Quotation System (“NASDAQ”). The trading symbol for our Common Stock is “MTRX”. The following table sets forth the high and low sale prices for our Common Stock as reported by NASDAQ for the periods indicated:

As of July 31, 2009, there were 34 holders of record of our common stock. We believe that the number of beneficial owners of our common stock is substantially greater than the number of holders of record.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid cash dividends on our Common Stock, and the terms of our credit agreement limit the amount of cash dividends we can pay. We currently intend to retain earnings to finance the growth of our business. Any payment of cash dividends in the future will depend upon our financial condition, capital requirements and earnings as well as other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

On February 4, 2009 our Board of Directors authorized a stock buyback program (“February 2009 Program”) that allows the Company to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock provided that such purchases do not exceed $25.0 million in any calendar year commencing in calendar year 2009 and continuing through calendar year 2012. The February 2009 Program replaced the previous stock buyback program that had been in place since October 2000. The Company did not purchase any common shares under either program in fiscal 2009. Matrix Service may purchase shares in future periods if sufficient liquidity exists and the Company believes that it is in the best interest of the shareholders.

In addition to any stock buyback program that may be in effect, the Company may withhold shares of common stock to satisfy the tax withholding obligations upon vesting of an employee’s deferred shares. Matrix Service withheld 14,337 and 17,237 shares in the three and nine months ended May 31, 2009 to satisfy these obligations. These shares were returned to the Company’s pool of treasury shares.

The Company has 1,696,517 treasury shares as of May 31, 2009 and intends to utilize these treasury shares solely in connection with equity awards under the Company’s stock incentive plans.

Table of Contents

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP represents a comprehensive set of accounting and disclosure rules and requirements, the application of which requires management judgments and estimates including, in certain circumstances, choices between acceptable GAAP alternatives. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, if any, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, contains a comprehensive summary of our significant accounting policies. The following is a discussion of our most critical accounting policies, estimates, judgments and uncertainties that are inherent in our application of GAAP.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

Revenue Recognition

Matrix Service records profits on fixed-price contracts on a percentage-of-completion basis, primarily based on costs incurred to date compared to the total estimated contract cost. Matrix Service records revenue on reimbursable and time and material contracts on a proportional performance basis as costs are incurred. Contracts in process are valued at cost plus accrued profits less billings on uncompleted contracts. Contracts are generally considered substantially complete when field construction is completed. The elapsed time from award of a contract to completion of performance may be in excess of one year. Matrix Service includes pass-through revenue and costs on cost-plus contracts, which are customer-reimbursable materials, equipment and subcontractor costs, when Matrix Service determines that it is responsible for the procurement and management of such cost components on behalf of the customer.

Matrix Service has numerous contracts that are in various stages of completion which require estimates to determine the appropriate cost and revenue recognition. Matrix Service has a history of making reasonably dependable estimates of the extent of progress towards completion, contract revenues and contract costs, and accordingly, does not believe significant fluctuations are likely to materialize. However, current estimates may be revised as additional information becomes available. If estimates of costs to complete fixed-price contracts indicate a loss, a provision is made through a contract write-down for the total loss anticipated. A number of our contracts contain various cost and performance incentives and penalties that impact the earnings we realize from our contracts. Adjustments related to these incentives and penalties are recorded in the period on a percentage of completion basis when estimable and probable.

Indirect costs (such as salaries and benefits, supplies and tools, equipment costs and insurance costs) are charged to projects based upon direct labor hours and overhead allocation rates per direct labor hour. Warranty costs are normally incurred prior to project completion and are charged to project costs as they are incurred. Warranty costs incurred subsequent to project completion were not material for the periods presented. Overhead allocation rates are established annually during the budgeting process and evaluated for accuracy throughout the year based upon actual direct labor hours and actual costs incurred.

Claims Recognition

Claims are amounts in excess of the agreed contract price (or amounts not included in the original contract price) that we seek to collect from customers or others for delays, errors in specifications and designs, contract

26

Table of Contents

terminations, change orders in dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price or other causes of anticipated additional costs incurred by us. Recognition of amounts as additional contract revenue related to claims is appropriate only if it is probable that the claims will result in additional contract revenue and if the amount can be reliably estimated. We must determine if:

If all of these requirements are met, revenue from a claim is recorded only to the extent that we have incurred costs relating to the claim.

As of May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts included revenues for unapproved change orders of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. There were no claims included in costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts as of May 31, 2009 or May 31, 2008. Historically, our collections for unapproved change orders and other claims have approximated the amount of revenue recognized.

Loss Contingencies

Various legal actions, claims, and other contingencies arise in the normal course of our business. Contingencies are recorded in the consolidated financial statements, or are otherwise disclosed, in accordance with SFAS No. 5 “Accounting for Contingencies”. Specific reserves are provided for loss contingencies to the extent we conclude their occurrence is both probable and estimable. We use a case by case evaluation of the underlying data and update our evaluation as further information becomes known. We believe that any amounts exceeding our recorded accruals should not materially affect our financial position, results of operations or liquidity. However, the results of litigation are inherently unpredictable and the possibility exists that the ultimate resolution of one or more of these matters could result in a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

Legal costs are expensed as incurred.

Insurance Reserves

We maintain insurance coverage for various aspects of our operations. However, we retain exposure to potential losses through the use of deductibles, coverage limits and self-insured retentions. As of May 31, 2009 and 2008, insurance reserves totaling $7.6 million and $8.5 million, respectively, are included on our balance sheet. These amounts represent our best estimate of our ultimate obligations for asserted claims, insurance premium obligations, and claims incurred but not yet reported at the balance sheet dates. We establish reserves for claims using a combination of actuarially determined estimates and a case by case evaluation of the underlying claim data and update our evaluations as further information becomes known. Judgments and assumptions are inherent in our reserve accruals; as a result, changes in assumptions or claims experience could result in changes to these estimates in the future. Additionally, the actual results of claim settlements could differ from the amounts estimated.

Goodwill

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized and are tested at least annually for impairment. We perform our annual analysis during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year and in any other

27

Table of Contents

period in which indicators of impairment warrant additional analysis. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquisitions over the acquisition date fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment by first comparing management’s estimate of the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying value, including goodwill. Reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment calculations are our reportable segments.

Management utilizes a discounted cash flow analysis to determine the estimated fair value of our reporting units. Significant judgments and assumptions including the discount rate, anticipated revenue growth rate and gross margins, estimated operating and interest expense, and capital expenditures are inherent in these fair value estimates which are based on our internal operating budgets. As a result, actual results may differ from the estimates utilized in our discounted cash flow analysis. The use of alternate judgments and/or assumptions could result in a fair value that differs from our estimate and could result in the recognition of an impairment charge in the financial statements.

As a result of these uncertainties, we utilize multiple scenarios and assign probabilities to each of the scenarios in the discounted cash flow analysis. The results of the discounted cash flow analysis are then compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a computation of the implied fair value of goodwill is compared with its related carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, an impairment loss is recognized in the amount of the excess. If an impairment charge is incurred, it would negatively impact our results of operations and financial position.

We did not record a goodwill impairment for either our Construction Services or Repair and Maintenance Services segments in the three year period ended May 31, 2009. Although we do not anticipate a future impairment charge, certain events could occur that might adversely affect the reported value of goodwill. Such events could include, but are not limited to, economic or competitive conditions, a significant change in the project plans of our customers, the economic condition of the customers and industries we serve, and a material negative change in the relationships with one or more of our significant customers. If our judgments and assumptions change as a result of the occurrence of any of these events or other events that we do not currently anticipate, our expectations as to future results and our estimate of the implied value of one or more of our reporting units also may change.

Due to the presence of several impairment indicators, including a loss in market capitalization caused by the turmoil in the debt and capital markets, we performed an interim impairment test in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. The results of the interim impairment test indicated that the fair value of the goodwill was in excess of its carrying value at February 28, 2009.

We also performed our annual impairment test in the fourth quarter to determine whether an impairment existed and to determine the amount of headroom at May 31, 2009. Headroom is defined as the percentage difference between the carrying value of the goodwill and its fair value. At May 31, 2009, headroom for the Construction Services segment was 128% and headroom for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment was 59%.

Our significant assumptions, including revenue growth rates, gross margins, operating and interest expense and other factors, have been reasonably accurate in recent years, but are likely to change in light of the dynamic competitive environment in which we operate. Assuming that all other components of our fair value estimate remain unchanged, a change in the following assumptions would have the following effect on headroom:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Accounting standards that have recently been issued that may impact our Consolidated Financial Statements include the following.

SFAS No. 141(R)—Business Combinations

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141(R)”). SFAS No. 141(R) applies to all business combinations and establishes guidance for recognizing and measuring identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed, noncontrolling interests in the acquiree and goodwill. Most of these items are recognized at their full fair value on the acquisition date, including acquisitions where the acquirer obtains control but less than 100 percent ownership in the acquiree. SFAS No. 141(R) also requires transaction costs to be recognized as expense as incurred and establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for business combinations with an acquisition date in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be evaluated and implemented in connection with any future acquisitions.

SFAS No. 157—Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). This Statement established a framework for fair value measurements in the financial statements by providing a definition of fair value, guidance on the methods used to estimate fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 became effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and was applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 in fiscal 2009 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

SFAS No. 159—The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115

In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (“SFAS No. 159”), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115”. SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected will be recognized in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The adoption of SFAS No. 159 in fiscal 2009 did not have a material effect on our financial statements.

SFAS No. 165—Subsequent Events

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165”). The Statement’s objective is to establish general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Entities are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events were evaluated as well as the rationale for why that date was selected. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009.

Results of Operations

Overview

The Company has two reportable segments, Construction Services and Repair and Maintenance Services. The majority of the work for both segments is performed in the United States with 3% of revenues generated in Canada during fiscal 2009. However, the Company does continue to seek opportunities for growth in international markets.

The primary services of our Construction Services segment are aboveground storage tanks for the bulk storage/terminal industry, capital construction for the downstream petroleum industry, specialty construction, and electrical/instrumentation services for various industries. These services, including civil/structural, mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation, millwrighting, and fabrication, are provided for projects of varying complexities, schedule durations, and budgets. Our project experience includes renovations, retrofits, modifications and expansions to existing facilities as well as construction of new facilities.

The primary services of our Repair and Maintenance Services segment are aboveground storage tank repair and maintenance services, planned major and routine maintenance for the downstream petroleum industry, specialty repair and maintenance services and electrical and instrumentation repair and maintenance.

Significant fluctuations in revenues, gross profits and operating results are discussed below on a consolidated basis and for each segment. Revenues fluctuate due to many factors, including the changing product mix and project schedules, which are dependent on the level and timing of customer releases of new business.

Fiscal Year 2009 versus 2008

Consolidated

Consolidated revenues were $689.7 million in fiscal 2009, a decrease of $41.6 million, or 5.7%, from consolidated revenues of $731.3 million for fiscal 2008. The reduction in consolidated revenues was caused by a decrease of $60.7 million in Construction Services revenues partially offset by an increase of $19.1 million in Repair and Maintenance Services revenues.

Consolidated gross profit increased from $75.1 million in fiscal 2008 to $94.3 million in fiscal 2009. The improvement of $19.2 million or 25.6% was due primarily to an increase in gross profit caused by higher gross margins, which improved from 10.3% in fiscal 2008 to 13.7% in fiscal 2009. The gross margin improvement was due to higher margins in the Construction Services segment, where the gross margin increased to 12.9% in the current fiscal year versus 7.3% in the prior fiscal year. Repair and Maintenance Services segment gross margins were 14.7% in fiscal 2009 compared to 15.3% in fiscal 2008.

Consolidated SG&A expenses increased $6.4 million, or 15.8%, in fiscal 2009 to $47.0 million from $40.6 million for fiscal 2008. The increase was primarily due to the costs relating to our expansion into Western Canada and the Gulf Coast Region, the acquisition of S.M. Electric Company, Inc. (“SME”) in February 2009, and higher employee related and facility costs incurred to build the infrastructure and sales forces necessary to support our long-term growth plan. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 6.8% in fiscal 2009 compared to 5.6% in the prior fiscal year.

Net interest expense was $0.2 million in fiscal 2009 compared to $0.8 million in fiscal 2008. In the current year, the non-cash amortization of deal fees relating to the senior revolving credit facility and cash interest on our capital leases was partially offset by interest income generated from the investment of excess cash. The prior year net interest expense was primarily related to the amortization of deal fees on the senior revolving credit facility and interest on short-term borrowings under the facility.

Table of Contents

Other income in fiscal 2009 was $0.7 million and related primarily to insurance proceeds received. In comparison, we did not report any other income in fiscal 2008.

Income before income tax expense increased to $47.8 million in fiscal 2009 from $33.7 million in fiscal 2008. This $14.1 million increase occurred primarily due to higher gross profits partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.

The effective tax rate for fiscal 2009 was 36.0% compared to 36.5% in fiscal 2008. In fiscal 2009, certain operating loss carryforwards previously reserved were utilized or deemed to be fully utilizable resulting in a tax benefit of $1.0 million. The prior fiscal year included a $0.7 million tax benefit resulting from the assessment of the realizability of state investment tax credits and other miscellaneous deductions.

Net income for fiscal 2009 grew to $30.6 million, or $1.16 per fully diluted share, versus net income in fiscal 2008 of $21.4 million, or $0.80 per fully diluted share.

Construction Services

Revenues for the Construction Services segment were $395.2 million, compared with $455.9 million in the same period a year earlier. The decrease of $60.7 million was due to lower Specialty revenues, which decreased $50.8 million as the construction of the tanks on a Gulf Coast LNG project was completed in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008. In addition, Aboveground Storage Tank revenues decreased 11.7% to $177.8 million in fiscal 2009, versus $201.4 million in fiscal 2008, and Downstream Petroleum revenues, decreased 7.8% to $144.2 million in fiscal 2009, versus $156.4 million a year earlier. Partially offsetting these declines were higher Electrical and Instrumentation revenues, which increased $25.9 million to $45.9 million in fiscal 2009, compared to $20.0 million a year earlier. This increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of SME in February 2009.

At May 31, 2009, the Construction Services segment had a backlog of $233.6 million, as compared to a backlog of $325.3 million as of May 31, 2008. The decrease of $91.7 million is due to declines in Aboveground Storage Tank, Downstream Petroleum and Electrical and Instrumentation of $79.5 million, $11.5 million and $6.6 million, respectively. Partially offsetting these declines was an increase in Specialty of $5.9 million. Project cancellations totaling $19.0 million and $29.5 million contributed to the backlog reductions in Aboveground Storage Tank and Downstream Petroleum, respectively.

Gross profit increased from $33.1 million in fiscal 2008 to $51.0 million in fiscal 2009. The increase in gross profit was due to improved direct gross margins primarily because fiscal 2008 results included $20.8 million in pretax charges for cost overruns on a Gulf Coast LNG project. In addition the Company experienced improved project execution in fiscal 2009 helping to offset the negative impact of unrecovered construction overhead costs due to lower than expected revenues during the year.

Operating income and income before income tax expense were $22.1 million and $22.0 million in fiscal 2009 compared to $8.6 million and $8.0 million in fiscal 2008.

Repair and Maintenance Services

Revenues for Repair and Maintenance Services were $294.5 million in fiscal 2009 versus $275.4 million in fiscal 2008. The $19.1 million improvement was due to higher Downstream Petroleum revenues, which increased $17.2 million to $106.2 million in fiscal 2009, compared to $89.0 million in the prior fiscal year and higher Electrical and Instrumentation revenues, which increased $3.6 million to $22.0 million in fiscal 2009, compared to $18.4 million in the prior fiscal year. These increases were partially offset by lower Aboveground Storage Tank revenues, which decreased $1.7 million to $166.3 million in fiscal 2009 from $168.0 million during fiscal 2008.

32

Table of Contents

Backlog at May 31, 2009 and May 31, 2008 for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment was $167.5 million and $142.0 million, respectively. The increase of $25.5 million was due to increases in Downstream Petroleum of $16.4 million and Electrical and Instrumentation of $15.6 million, partially offset by a decline in Aboveground Storage Tank of $6.5 million. Included in Aboveground Storage Tank’s backlog decline were cancelled projects totaling $2.7 million.

Gross profit increased from $42.0 million in fiscal 2008 to $43.4 million in fiscal 2009 due to an increase in revenues partially offset by a decline in gross margins, which were 14.7% in fiscal 2009 versus 15.3% in fiscal 2008.

Operating income was $25.2 million in fiscal 2009 compared to $26.0 million in fiscal 2008. Income before income tax expense was $25.8 million in fiscal 2009 and fiscal 2008.

Fiscal Year 2008 versus 2007

Consolidated

Consolidated revenues were $731.3 million in fiscal 2008, an increase of $91.5 million, or 14.3%, from consolidated revenues of $639.8 million for fiscal 2007. The improvement in consolidated revenues resulted from increases of $89.7 million in Construction Services revenues and $1.8 million in Repair and Maintenance Services revenues.

Consolidated gross profit increased from $65.9 million in fiscal 2007 to $75.1 million in fiscal 2008. The improvement of $9.2 million, or 14.0% was primarily due to revenue growth of $91.5 million. Consolidated gross margins were unchanged at 10.3% for both fiscal years despite an improvement in the Repair and Maintenance Services segment, where the gross margin grew to 15.3% in fiscal 2008 versus 13.3% in fiscal 2007. Offsetting this improvement was a decline in the Construction Services segment’s gross margin, which was 8.1% in fiscal 2007 versus 7.3% in fiscal 2008.

Consolidated SG&A expenses increased $7.8 million, or 23.8%, in fiscal 2008 to $40.6 million from $32.8 million in fiscal 2007. The increase was primarily caused by higher employee-related expenses and facility costs incurred to meet the current demands of anticipated growth and a bad debt charge caused by the bankruptcy of a customer that is involved in a contract dispute with the Company. SG&A expense as a percentage of revenue increased to 5.6% in fiscal 2008 compared to 5.1% in fiscal 2007 as the benefit from the 14.3% growth in revenues was more than offset by the increase in SG&A expenses.

Interest expense decreased to $0.9 million in fiscal 2008 compared to $2.4 million in fiscal 2007. The decline of $1.5 million was primarily due to the conversion of $25.0 million of convertible notes to common stock in fiscal 2007, which led to lower amortization of debt issuance costs in fiscal 2008. Current year interest expense was primarily related to the amortization of deal fees on the senior revolving credit facility and interest on short-term borrowings under this facility.

Income before income tax expense increased to $33.7 million in fiscal 2008 from $31.1 million in fiscal 2007. This $2.6 million increase occurred due to higher gross profits and lower interest expense, partially offset by higher SG&A expenses.

The effective tax rates for fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2007 were 36.5% and 38.4%, respectively. The fiscal 2008 tax rate was reduced due to a tax benefit of $0.7 million resulting from the continuing assessment of the realizability of state investment tax credits and other miscellaneous deductions. The fiscal 2007 rate was favorably impacted by the utilization of losses on disputed contracts, the tax benefits of which had been reserved as a valuation allowance in previous years.

Net income for fiscal 2008 grew to $21.4 million, or $0.80 per fully diluted share, versus net income in fiscal 2007 of $19.2 million, or $0.74 per fully diluted share.

Construction Services

Revenues for the Construction Services segment were $455.9 million in fiscal 2008, compared with $366.2 million in fiscal 2007. The increase of $89.7 million, or 24.5%, was primarily due to higher Aboveground Storage Tank revenues, which increased 26.4% to $201.4 million in fiscal 2008, versus $159.3 million in fiscal 2007. The increase was also driven by higher revenues in Downstream Petroleum, which increased 29.5% to $156.4 million in fiscal 2008, versus $120.8 million in fiscal 2007, and by higher Specialty revenues, which increased 45.7% to $78.1 million in fiscal 2008 compared to $53.6 million a year earlier. These increases were partially offset by lower Electrical and Instrumentation revenues, which fell $12.4 million.

At May 31, 2008, the Construction Services segment had a backlog of $325.3 million, as compared to a backlog of $349.3 million as of May 31, 2007. The decrease of $24.0 million is due to declines in Specialty of $41.0 million and Downstream Petroleum of $19.3 million, partially offset by increases in Aboveground Storage Tank and Electrical and Instrumentation of $23.3 and $13.0 million, respectively. The decline in Specialty backlog was attributable to the completion of a major LNG construction project in the Gulf Coast region.

Gross profit increased from $29.5 million in fiscal 2007 to $33.1 million in fiscal 2008 due largely to the 24.5% growth in revenues offset partially by reduced gross margins, which fell from 8.1% in fiscal 2007 to 7.3% in fiscal 2008. The gross profit improvement of $3.6 million occurred despite fiscal 2008 results including $20.8 million in pre-tax charges for cost overruns related to an LNG construction project in the Gulf Coast region. In comparison, fiscal 2007 results included pre-tax charges of $11.3 million for this same LNG construction project. The remaining Construction Services projects experienced higher margins in fiscal 2008 than those recognized in fiscal 2007.

Operating income and income before income tax expense were $8.6 million and $8.0 million in fiscal 2008 compared to $11.6 million and $10.4 million in fiscal 2007.

Repair and Maintenance Services

Revenues for Repair and Maintenance Services were $275.4 million in fiscal 2008 versus $273.7 million in fiscal 2007. The change was due to higher Aboveground Storage Tank revenues, which improved 34.2% to $168.0 million, versus $125.2 million in fiscal 2007. This increase was largely offset by lower Downstream Petroleum revenues, which fell 26.2% to $89.0 million in fiscal 2008, from $120.6 million in fiscal 2007, and lower Electrical and Instrumentation revenues, which dropped $9.5 million to $18.4 million in fiscal 2008 from $27.9 million during fiscal 2007.

Backlog at May 31, 2008 and May 31, 2007 for the Repair and Maintenance Services segment was $142.0 million and $110.8 million, respectively. The increase of $31.2 million was due to increases in Downstream Petroleum of $16.2 million, Aboveground Storage Tank of $10.0 million and Electrical and Instrumentation of $5.0 million.

Despite relatively flat year-over-year revenues, gross profit increased from $36.4 million in fiscal 2007 to $42.0 million in fiscal 2008 and gross margins improved from 13.3% during fiscal 2007 to 15.3% in fiscal 2008. Repair and Maintenance Services’ gross margins for fiscal 2008 benefited from high levels of customer call-out work and strong markets, particularly in Aboveground Storage Tank.

Operating income and income before income tax expense increased to $26.0 million and $25.8 million, respectively, in fiscal 2008 compared to $21.6 million and $20.8 million in fiscal 2007.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure

EBITDA is a supplemental, non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We have presented EBITDA because it is used by the financial community

34

Table of Contents

as a method of measuring our performance and of evaluating the market value of companies considered to be in similar businesses. We believe that the line item on our Consolidated Statements of Income entitled “Net income” is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to EBITDA. Since EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, net earnings as an indicator of operating performance. EBITDA, as we calculate it, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, this measure is not necessarily a measure of our ability to fund our cash needs. As EBITDA excludes certain financial information compared with net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the type of events and transactions, which are excluded. Our non-GAAP performance measure, EBITDA, has certain material limitations as follows:

A reconciliation of EBITDA to net income follows:

Outlook

We believe that our investments in business development, strengthened engineering and construction capabilities, geographic and product expansion as well as the addition of key talent has put us in a stronger position as we move into fiscal 2010. This should allow us to manage through the current economic downturn and capitalize on opportunities as the market improves.

We cannot predict the length or severity of the current economic downturn and remain somewhat cautious about the near-term outlook of our business. The uncertainty in the timing and magnitude of the economic recovery and the timing of awards coupled with the seasonality of our business will likely produce uneven fiscal 2010 quarterly results. The market indicators we are seeing indicate a challenging environment in the remainder of calendar year 2009 with some improvements starting late in calendar year 2009 and early in calendar year 2010.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Overview

We define liquidity as the ability to pay our liabilities as they become due, fund business operations and meet all monetary contractual obligations. Our primary sources of liquidity in fiscal 2009 were cash flows from operations and cash on hand at the beginning of the year. Cash on hand at May 31, 2009 totaled $34.6 million and availability under the senior revolving credit facility totaled $67.7 million, resulting in total liquidity of $102.3 million.

35

Table of Contents

Factors that routinely impact our short-term liquidity and that may impact our long-term liquidity include, but are not limited to:

In fiscal 2009, we funded the acquisitions of S.M. Electric Company, Inc. and the purchase of certain assets, technology and resources for the design and construction of specialty cryogenic tanks with cash on hand. However, in the future we may elect to raise additional capital by issuing common stock, convertible notes, term debt or increase the amount of our revolving credit facility as necessary to fund our operations or to fund the acquisition of other businesses. We will continue to evaluate our working capital requirements and other factors to maintain sufficient liquidity.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Operations provided $38.6 million of cash in fiscal 2009. The cash provided by operations was primarily due to profitable operating results partially offset by an increase in working capital. The change in working capital was primarily due to reductions in accounts payable and billings in excess partially offset by decreases in accounts receivable and costs in excess.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Investing activities used $24.3 million of cash in fiscal 2009. This was due to capital expenditures of $10.0 million, and the purchases of S.M. Electric Company, Inc. and certain assets, technology and resources for the design and construction of cryogenic storage tanks for a combined $15.3 million, partially offset by proceeds from asset sales of $1.0 million. The asset sale proceeds relate primarily to the sale of excess property. Fiscal 2009 capital expenditures included $4.6 million for the purchase of construction equipment, $1.3 million for transportation equipment, $2.9 million for furniture and fixtures, and $1.2 million for land and buildings. Assets acquired through capital leases totaled $0.9 million in fiscal 2009 and are reported as non-cash additions to Property, Plant and Equipment in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

At May 31, 2009 expected spending on capital projects that have been approved but that are not yet complete totaled $1.7 million. The completion of these projects will be funded with cash on hand.

36

Table of Contents

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Financing activities used $1.2 million of cash in fiscal 2009 primarily due to capital lease payments of $1.1 million, credit agreement amendment fees of $0.2 million and treasury share purchases of $0.2 million. Partially offsetting these payments were proceeds from the exercise of stock options issued under our stock based compensation plans of $0.3 million and the related tax benefit of $0.1 million.

Senior Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has a five-year, $75.0 million senior revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”) that expires on November 30, 2012. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s subsidiaries and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets.

The senior revolving credit facility is primarily used to fund short-term changes in working capital and the issuance of letters of credit. At May 31, 2009 $7.3 million of letters of credit were outstanding to support certain workers’ compensation insurance programs and construction contracts. Availability at May 31, 2009 totaled $67.7 million. We believe the facility provides adequate liquidity and financial flexibility to support our expected growth.

On February 11, 2009, the Company entered into an amendment (“Amendment”) to the Credit Facility which altered certain key provisions of the Credit Facility including the following:

37

Table of Contents

Other significant financial covenants that were not changed by the Amendment include the following:

The Company is currently in compliance with all affirmative, negative, and financial covenants under the Credit Facility and is at the lowest margin tier for the LIBOR and Alternate Base Rate loans and the lowest tier for the Unused Revolving Credit Facility Fee. However, non-compliance with any of these ratios or a violation of other covenants could result in an event of default and reduce availability under the facility.

Dividend Policy

We have never paid cash dividends on our Common Stock, and the terms of our credit agreement limits the amount of cash dividends we can pay. We currently intend to retain earnings to finance the growth of our business. Any payment of cash dividends in the future will depend upon our financial condition, capital requirements and earnings as well as other factors the Board of Directors may deem relevant.

Treasury Shares

On February 4, 2009 our Board of Directors authorized a stock buyback program (“February 2009 Program”) that allows the Company to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares of Common Stock provided that such purchases do not exceed $25.0 million in any calendar year commencing in calendar year 2009 and continuing through calendar year 2012. The February 2009 Program replaced the previous stock buyback program that had been in place since October 2000. The Company did not purchase any common shares under either program in fiscal 2009. Matrix Service may purchase shares in future periods if sufficient liquidity exists and the Company believes that it is in the best interest of the shareholders.

In addition to any stock buyback program that may be in effect, the Company may withhold shares of common stock to satisfy the tax withholding obligations upon vesting of an employee’s deferred shares. Matrix Service withheld 17,237 shares in fiscal 2009 to satisfy these obligations. These shares were returned to the Company’s pool of treasury shares.

The Company has 1,696,517 treasury shares as of May 31, 2009 and intends to utilize these treasury shares solely in connection with equity awards under the Company’s stock incentive plans.

Commitments

As of May 31, 2009, the following commitments were in place to support our ordinary course obligations:

38

Table of Contents

Contractual obligations at May 31, 2009 are summarized below:

Interest Rate Risk

Our interest rate risk results primarily from our variable rate indebtedness under our senior credit facility, which is influenced by movements in short-term rates. Borrowings under our $75.0 million revolving credit facility are based on an alternate base rate or one, two, three or six month LIBOR as elected by the Company plus an additional margin based on our Senior Leverage Ratio. Although there were no amounts outstanding under the facility at May 31, 2009 and we did not borrow under the facility in fiscal 2009, we have in the past and may in the future borrow against our revolving credit line to fund short-term working capital needs. We do not currently utilize interest rate swaps to hedge our interest rate risk; therefore, short-term interest rates could have an impact on future interest expense.

Financial instruments with interest rate risk at May 31, 2009 were as follows:

39

Table of Contents

Financial instruments with interest rate risk at May 31, 2008 were as follows:

Foreign Currency Risk

Matrix Service has subsidiaries with operations in Canada with the Canadian dollar as their functional currency. Historically, movements in the foreign currency exchange rate have not significantly impacted results. However, growth in our Canadian operations and fluctuations in the Canadian dollar could impact the Company’s financial results in the future. Management has not entered into derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency risk, but periodically evaluates the materiality of our foreign currency exposure. A 10% change in the Canadian dollar against the U. S. dollar would not have had a material impact on the financial results of the Company for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2009.

Commodity Risk

Steel plate and steel pipe are the primary raw materials used by the Company. Supplies of these materials are available throughout the United States and worldwide. We anticipate that adequate amounts of these materials will be available in the foreseeable future, however, the price, quantity, and delivery schedules of these materials could change rapidly due to various factors, including producer capacity, the level of foreign imports, worldwide demand, the imposition or removal of tariffs on imported steel and other market conditions. We mitigate these risks by including standard language in our contracts, which passes the risk of increases in steel prices or unavailability of steel to our customers.

MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

The management of Matrix Service Company (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting includes policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective may not prevent or detect misstatements.

The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2009. In making this assessment, the Company’s management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.

Management’s assessment included an evaluation of such elements as the design and operating effectiveness of key financial reporting controls, process documentation, accounting policies, overall control environment and information systems control environment. Based on this assessment, the Company’s management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2009 was effective.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2009. Deloitte & Touche LLP’s report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting is included herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Matrix Service Company:

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Matrix Service Company and subsidiaries (“the Company”) as of May 31, 2009 based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Company's management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company's principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company's board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of May 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule as of and for the year ended May 31, 2009 of the Company and our report dated August 4, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedule.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Matrix Service Company and subsidiaries as of May 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended May 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
