ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL
EMCOR Group, Inc. ("EMCOR") is one of the largest mechanical and electrical
construction and facilities services firms in the United States, Canada, the
United Kingdom and in the world. In 2000, EMCOR had revenues of more than $3.46
billion. EMCOR provides services to a broad range of commercial, industrial,
utility, and institutional customers through approximately 45 principal
operating subsidiaries, including its majority interest in a limited liability
company that provides facilities services to over 2,500 buildings with more than
70 million square feet of space. These businesses have offices in 32 states and
the District of Columbia in the United States, seven provinces in Canada and ten
primary locations in the United Kingdom. In the United Arab Emirates, Saudi
Arabia and South Africa, EMCOR carries on business through subsidiaries and
joint ventures. EMCOR's executive offices are located at 101 Merritt Seven
Corporate Park, Norwalk, Connecticut 06851-1060, and its telephone number at
those offices is (203) 849-7800.
EMCOR specializes in the design, integration, installation, start-up,
operation and maintenance of:
o Systems for generation and distribution of electrical power;
o Lighting systems;
o Low-voltage systems, such as fire alarm, security, communications and
process control systems;
o Voice and data communications systems;
o Heating, ventilation, air conditioning, refrigeration and clean-room
process ventilation systems; and
o Plumbing, process and high-purity piping systems.
EMCOR also provides services needed to support the operation of customers'
facilities, which services are not related to customers' construction programs.
These services, frequently referred to as facilities services, include site
based operations and maintenance, mobile maintenance and service, small
modification and retrofit projects, consulting, program development and
management for energy systems, and maintenance of facilities. Facilities
services are provided to a wide range of commercial, industrial, utility and
institutional facilities, including those at which EMCOR provided construction
services and others at which construction services were provided by other
contractors. EMCOR's varied facilities services are frequently combined to
provide integrated service packages which include mechanical, electrical and
other services.
EMCOR provides mechanical and electrical construction services and
facilities services directly to corporations, municipalities and other
governmental entities, owners/developers and tenants of buildings. It also
provides these services indirectly by acting as a subcontractor to construction
managers, general contractors, systems suppliers and other subcontractors.
Worldwide, EMCOR employs approximately 22,000 people.
EMCOR's revenues are derived from many different customers in numerous
industries which have operations in several different geographical areas. Of
EMCOR's 2000 revenues, approximately 80% were generated in the United States and
approximately 20% were generated internationally. In 2000, approximately 43% of
revenues were derived from new construction projects and approximately 57% of
revenues were derived from renovation and retrofit of customers' existing
facilities and from EMCOR's facilities services operations (renovation and
retrofit work and facilities services operations are sometimes referred to by
stock analysts as maintenance, repair and replacement or "MRR"). Approximately
84% of 2000 revenues were generated from both new construction and renovation
and retrofit projects, and approximately 16% of 2000 revenues were generated
from facilities services operations. For the period 1997 through 2000, revenues
and EBITDA grew at compound annual growth rates of 21.1% and 38.7%,
respectively.
THE BUSINESS
The broad scope of EMCOR's operations are more particularly described
below.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL CONSTRUCTION SERVICES AND FACILITIES SERVICES
EMCOR believes that the mechanical and electrical construction services and
facilities services business is highly fragmented, consisting of thousands of
small companies across the United States and around the world. Because EMCOR has
total assets, annual revenues, net worth, access to bank credit and surety
bonding, and expertise significantly greater than most of its competitors, EMCOR
believes it has a significant competitive advantage. The mechanical and
electrical construction services industry has a higher growth rate than the
overall construction industry, due principally to the increase in content and
complexity of mechanical and electrical systems in all types of projects. This
increased content and complexity is, in part, a result of the expanded use of
computers and more technologically advanced voice and data communications,
lighting, and environmental control systems in all types of facilities. For
these reasons, buildings of all types consume
1
more electricity per square foot than in the past and thus need more extensive
electrical distribution systems. In addition, advanced voice and data
communication systems require more sophisticated power supplies and extensive
low voltage and fiber-optic communications cabling. Moreover, the need for
greater environmental controls within a building, such as the heightened need
for climate control to maintain extensive computer systems at optimal
temperatures, and the growing demand for environmental control in individual
spaces, have created expanded opportunities for the mechanical and electrical
construction services and facilities services business.
Mechanical and electrical construction services primarily involve the
design, integration, installation and start-up of: (1) systems for the
generation and distribution of electrical power, including power cables,
conduits, distribution panels, transformers, generators, uninterruptible power
supply systems and related switch gear and controls; (2) lighting systems,
including fixtures and controls; (3) low-voltage systems, including fire alarm,
security, and process control systems; (4) voice and data communications
systems, including fiber-optic and low voltage copper cabling; (5) heating,
ventilation, air conditioning (collectively, "HVAC"), refrigeration and
clean-room process ventilation systems and (6) plumbing, process and high-purity
piping systems.
Mechanical and electrical construction services generally fall into one of
two categories: (1) large installation projects with contracts often in the
multi-million dollar range that involve construction of industrial and
commercial buildings and institutional and public works facilities or the
fit-out of large blocks of space within commercial buildings and (2) smaller
installation projects typically involving fit-out, renovation and retrofit work.
EMCOR's mechanical and electrical construction services operations
accounted for about 84% of its 2000 revenues, of which approximately 52% was
related to new construction and approximately 48% was related to renovation and
retrofit projects. EMCOR provides mechanical and electrical construction
services for both large and small installation and renovation projects. Its
largest projects include those (1) for institutional use (such as water and
wastewater treatment facilities, hospitals, correctional facilities, schools and
research laboratories); (2) for industrial use (such as pharmaceutical
factories, steel, pulp and paper mills, chemical, automotive and semiconductor
plants, and oil refineries); (3) for transportation systems (such as airports
and transit systems) and (4) for commercial use (such as office buildings, data
centers, hotels, casinos, convention centers, sports stadiums, shopping malls
and resorts). EMCOR's largest projects, typically in excess of $10.0 million,
are usually multi-year projects and range in size up to, and occasionally in
excess of, $50.0 million. These projects represented about 25% of EMCOR's
construction services revenues in 2000.
EMCOR's projects of less than $10.0 million accounted for approximately 75%
of 2000 construction services revenues. These projects are typically completed
in less than a year. They usually involve mechanical and electrical construction
services when an end-user or owner undertakes construction or modification of a
facility to accommodate a specific use. These projects frequently require
mechanical and electrical systems to meet special needs such as redundant power
supply systems, special environmental controls and high-purity air systems,
sophisticated electrical and mechanical systems for data centers, including
those associated with internet service providers and electronic commerce,
trading floors in financial services businesses, new production lines in
manufacturing plants and office arrangements in existing office buildings. These
types of projects are not usually dependent upon the new construction market.
Demand for them is often prompted by the expiration of leases, changes in
technology or changes in the customer's plant or office layout in the normal
course of a customer's business.
EMCOR performs its services pursuant to contracts with owners, such as
corporations, municipalities and other governmental entities, general
contractors, systems suppliers, construction managers, developers, other
subcontractors and tenants of commercial properties. Institutional and public
works projects are frequently long-term, complex projects that require
significant technical and management skills and the financial strength to, among
other things, obtain bid and performance bonds, which are often a condition to
bidding for, and award of these projects.
EMCOR also installs and maintains street, highway, bridge and tunnel
lighting, traffic signals, computerized traffic control systems and signal and
communication systems for mass transit systems in several metropolitan areas. In
addition, in the United States, EMCOR manufactures and installs sheet metal air
handling systems for both its own mechanical construction operations and for
unrelated mechanical contractors. EMCOR also maintains welding and pipe
fabrication shops for some of its own mechanical operations.
EMCOR also provides customers with facility support services which are not
related to construction projects. These services, frequently referred to as
facilities services, generated approximately 16% of 2000 revenues. Following
completion of construction projects, EMCOR has historically provided technical
support services to many of its customers, involving maintenance and service of
mechanical and electrical systems and small modification and retrofit projects
that support their day-to-day needs. In addition, EMCOR provides other services
to owners, operators, tenants and managers of all types of facilities both on a
contract basis for a specified period of time and on an individual task order
basis.
Facilities services include customer-based operations and maintenance,
mobile maintenance service, small modification and retrofit projects,
consulting, program development and management for energy systems and
maintenance activities. These services are provided to a wide range of
commercial, industrial and institutional facilities, including both those for
which EMCOR provided construction services and those for which construction
services were provided by others. The services are frequently bundled to provide
integrated service packages and may include services in addition to EMCOR's core
mechanical and electrical services.
2
EMCOR has experienced an expansion in the demand for its facilities
services which it believes is driven by customers' downsizing programs and their
focus on their own core competencies, the increasing technical complexity of
their facilities and their mechanical, electrical, voice and data and other
systems, and the need for increased reliability, especially in mechanical and
electrical systems. These trends have led to outsourcing and privatization
programs whereby customers in both the private and public sectors seek to
contract out those activities that support but are not directly involved in the
customer's business.
In the early 1990's, the market for facilities services grew rapidly in the
United Kingdom as a result of government initiatives. EMCOR's United Kingdom
subsidiary expanded its traditional technical service business in response to
these opportunities and established a dedicated unit to focus on the facilities
services business. This unit currently provides a full range of facilities
services to public and private sector customers under multi-year agreements,
including maintaining British Airways' facilities at Heathrow and Gatwick
Airports, the new British Library, the Department of Trade and Industry offices
in London, and the new Jubilee Line Extension of the London Underground. In the
United Kingdom, EMCOR also provides facilities services at several manufacturing
plants for various British Aerospace and Rolls Royce facilities. In addition,
the United Kingdom operations provide on-call and mobile service support on a
task-order or contract basis, small renovation project work, data
communications, security system installation, and maintenance services.
EMCOR, by virtue of its construction and facilities services expertise, is
involved with private finance initiatives ("PFIs") sponsored by the British
government. The PFIs, which involve governmental bodies responsible, among other
things, for the national healthcare system, social security, air traffic
control, schools, and hospitals, seek to transfer ownership and management of
United Kingdom government facilities, including office buildings and
institutional buildings, to groups of financial institutions, consulting service
organizations, and others, which competitively bid for PFI contracts. EMCOR has
been awarded several contracts by such groups to provide mechanical and
electrical services, ground maintenance and other ancillary services for periods
typically ranging from 5 to 35 years at buildings which were formerly owned and
managed by government bodies and privatized as part of the PFI program. EMCOR
has built on its United Kingdom experience to market its facilities services
business to international markets and currently provides facilities services
through joint ventures to several companies in South Africa.
In 1997, EMCOR established a new subsidiary to expand its facilities
services operations in North America patterned on its United Kingdom business.
This unit seeks to build on existing mechanical and electrical services
capabilities, facilities services activities at existing subsidiaries, and
EMCOR's client relationships in order to expand the scope of services currently
offered and to develop packages of services for customers on a regional,
national and global basis. EMCOR's North American facilities services strategy
includes initiation and expansion of facilities services operations at
subsidiaries that provide mechanical and electrical construction services,
including the offering of bundled facilities services programs, integrating two
or more services, and development of facilities services business independent of
construction services through an acquisition program. In addition, management
also has targeted growth in facilities services opportunities arising from the
deregulation of the electric utility industry, deregulation and expansion of the
telecommunications industry and the REIT-driven consolidation of the commercial
real estate industry.
In April 2000, EMCOR and CB Richard Ellis Inc., a nationwide real estate
management company, created a limited liability company, in which EMCOR has a
majority interest, which provides facilities services to approximately 2,500
buildings with over 70 million square feet of space in 30 states. The facilities
services, which had been provided by a division of CB Richard Ellis Inc.,
consist of the operation, maintenance and supervision of building systems
including heating, air conditioning, plumbing, lighting, ventilating, electrical
control and energy management sytems.
The deregulation of, and increased competition in, the utility industry,
along with government mandates calling for reduced energy consumption by
government entities, have led to renewed focus on energy costs and conservation
measures. These measures typically include energy assessments and engineering
studies, retrofit construction to implement energy savings measures, and the
long-term operation and maintenance of energy savings measures to ensure
continued performance. Various subsidiaries of EMCOR participate in energy
savings programs, and EMCOR believes it has the ability to be a single source
provider of construction and facilities services required for energy assessment
and for design, installation, and operations and maintenance of energy savings
measures.
As part of its expansion of its facilities services business, during 1998,
EMCOR acquired a Bakersfield, California based maintenance program consulting
service firm, a Los Angeles, California area based mobile, mechanical services
firm and a Richmond, Virginia based industrial facilities services firm to
expand its capabilities in this field. In 1999, EMCOR acquired a Boston,
Massachusetts based firm that provides mobile services in the New England area
and site based operations and maintenance services throughout the Eastern United
States. These acquisitions permit EMCOR to offer integrated construction and
operations and maintenance services.
The deregulation and expansion of the telecommunications industry have led
to a rapid expansion of installed infrastructure, including wireless
communication systems and long distance networks, much of which has been built
by companies that do not have existing maintenance operations and which seek to
contract out such services. EMCOR has provided construction services for the
infrastructure of telecommunications companies and facilities services to
support their operations. In this industry, EMCOR has worked on facilities owned
by such service providers as Sprint, AT&T, and MCI WorldCom, has installed and
maintained equipment for suppliers such as Lucent, Nortel, and Seimens, and has
provided construction and maintenance services to competitive local service
providers and to users who maintain their own systems.
3
EMCOR has also provided construction and maintenance services to many
internet service providers in support of their data center facilities. These
customers include Metromedia Fiber Network, Exodus Communications and Qwest
Communications International.
EMCOR offers facilities services to customers on single-task and multi-task
bases depending on a customer's needs, under either short-term or multi-year
agreements. EMCOR's services often require that its employees be permanently
assigned to customer premises twenty-four hours per day.
EMCOR believes mechanical and electrical construction services and
facilities services activities are complementary, permitting it to offer
customers a comprehensive package of services. The ability to offer both
construction and facilities services should enhance EMCOR's competitive position
with customers. Furthermore, EMCOR's facilities services operations tend to be
less cyclical than its construction operations because facilities services are
more responsive to the needs of an industry's operations requirements rather
than its construction requirements.
COMPETITION
EMCOR believes that the mechanical and electrical construction services
business is highly fragmented and competitive. A majority of EMCOR's revenues
are derived from jobs requiring competitive bids; however, an invitation to bid
is often conditioned upon prior experience, technical capability and financial
strength. EMCOR competes with national, regional and local companies, many of
which are small, owner-operated entities that operate in a limited geographic
area. There are few public companies focused on providing mechanical and
electrical construction services, although in the last four years more public
national and regional firms have been established. EMCOR is one of the largest
providers of mechanical and electrical construction services in the United
States, Canada, the United Kingdom and in the world. In the future, significant
competition may be encountered from public utilities and companies attempting to
consolidate mechanical and electrical construction services companies.
Competitive factors in the mechanical and electrical construction services
business include: (1) the availability of qualified and/or licensed personnel;
(2) reputation for integrity and quality; (3) safety record; (4) cost structure;
(5) relationships with customers; (6) geographic diversity; (7) the ability to
control project costs; (8) experience in specialized markets; (9) the ability to
obtain surety bonding; (10) adequate working capital and (11) access to bank
credit.
While the facilities services business is also highly fragmented, a number
of large corporations such as Johnson Controls, Inc. and Fluor Corp. are engaged
in this field, and there are other companies seeking to consolidate facilities
services businesses. EMCOR's facilities services operations are well established
in the United Kingdom and are being developed through the combination of
acquisitions and growth of EMCOR's existing operations in the United States,
including its limited liability company owned jointly with CB Richard Ellis Inc.
EMPLOYEES
EMCOR presently employs approximately 22,000 people, approximately 78% of
whom are represented by various unions pursuant to more than 225 collective
bargaining agreements between EMCOR's individual subsidiaries and local unions.
EMCOR believes that its employee relations are generally good. None of these
collective bargaining agreements are nationwide or regional in scope.
BACKLOG
EMCOR had backlog as of December 31, 2000 of approximately $1.80 billion,
compared with backlog of approximately $1.77 billion as of December 31, 1999.
Backlog principally includes electrical and mechanical construction services
contracts with a value of $250,000 or more and facilities services revenues to
be derived during the 12 months ending December 31, 2001 pursuant to contracts.
Backlog increased by $30.0 million as of December 31, 2000 compared to December
31, 1999. Backlog attributable to United States electrical construction and
facilities services backlog increased approximately $140.0 million as of
December 31, 2000, when compared to December 31, 1999. However, backlog
attributable to Canada and United Kingdom construction and facilities services
backlog decreased approximately $110.0 million as of December 31, 2000, when
compared to December 31, 1999, due primarily to completion of several large
projects during 2000. For the year ended December 31, 2000, EMCOR had more than
$3.46 billion in revenues compared to more than $2.89 billion in revenues for
the year ended December 31, 1999.

EMCOR believes that all of its property, plant and equipment are well
maintained, in good operating condition and suitable for the purposes for which
they are used.
See Note K to the consolidated financial statements for additional
information regarding lease costs. EMCOR utilizes substantially all of its
leased facilities and believes there will be no difficulty either in negotiating
the renewal of its real property leases as they expire or in finding alternative
space, if necessary.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In February 1995, as part of an investigation by the New York County
District Attorney's office into the business affairs of a general contractor
that did business with EMCOR's subsidiary, Forest Electric Corp. ("Forest"), a
search warrant was executed at Forest's executive offices. On July 12, 2000,
Forest was served with a Subpoena Duces Tecum to produce certain documents as
part of a broader investigation by the New York County District Attorney's
office into illegal business practices in the New York City construction
industry. Forest has been informed by the New York County District Attorney's
office that it and certain of its officers are targets of the investigation.
Forest intends to produce documents in response to the subpoena and to cooperate
fully with the District Attorney's office investigation as it proceeds.
On July 31, 1998 a former employee of a subsidiary of EMCOR filed a
class-action complaint on behalf of the participants in two employee benefit
plans sponsored by EMCOR against EMCOR and other defendants for breach of
fiduciary duty under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. All of the
claims relate to alleged acts or omissions which occurred during the period May
1991 to December 1994. The principal allegations of the complaint are that the
defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing the plans to purchase and
hold stock of EMCOR when it was then known as JWP, Inc. and when the defendants
knew or should have known it was imprudent to do so. The plaintiff has not made
claim for a specific dollar amount of damages but generally seeks to recover for
the benefit plans the loss in value of JWP, Inc. stock held by the plans. EMCOR
and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend the case. Insurance
coverage may be applicable under an EMCOR pension trust liability insurance
policy for EMCOR and those present and former employees of EMCOR who are
defendants in the action.
Substantial settlements or damage judgements arising out of these matters
could have a material adverse effect on EMCOR'S business, operating results and
financial conditions.
In addition to the above, EMCOR is involved in other legal proceedings and
claims asserted by and against EMCOR, which have arisen in the ordinary course
of business. EMCOR believes it has a number of valid defenses to these actions,
and EMCOR intends to vigorously defend or assert these claims and does not
believe that a significant liability will result. However, EMCOR cannot predict
the outcome thereof or the impact that an adverse result of the matters
discussed above will have upon EMCOR'S financial position or results of
operations.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
HIGHLIGHTS
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 were $3.46 billion, compared
to $2.89 billion and $2.21 billion for the years ended December 31, 1999 and
1998, respectively. Income before extraordinary item was $40.1 million for 2000,
an increase of $12.3 million, or 44.1%, from $27.8 million for 1999. For 1998,
income before extraordinary item was $17.1 million. Diluted earnings per share
on income before extraordinary item were $2.95 per share for 2000, compared to

OPERATING SEGMENTS
EMCOR's business consists of the following operating segments: United
States electrical construction and facilities services, United States mechanical
construction and facilities services, Canada construction and facilities
services and United Kingdom construction and facilities services. United States
other services primarily represents those operations which principally provide
consulting and maintenance services. Other international construction and
facilities services represents EMCOR's operations outside of the United States,
Canada, and the United Kingdom, primarily South Africa and the Middle East,
performing electrical construction, mechanical construction and facilities
services.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
REVENUES
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2000 increased 19.6% to $3.46
billion, compared to $2.89 billion of revenues for 1999. The $566.2 million
increase in revenues for 2000 compared to 1999 was attributable to revenue
growth from EMCOR's operations (excluding Building Technology Engineers of North
America, LLC ("BTENA") and 1999 acquisitions) of $420.2 million, and to revenues
from BTENA and 1999 acquisitions which approximated $146.0 million in
incremental revenues during 2000. Revenues for 1999 of $2.89 billion represented
a 30.9% increase over revenues of $2.21 billion for 1998. Companies acquired
during 1999 and 1998 accounted for approximately $476.1 million of the $683.6
million increase in 1999 revenues over 1998.
The following table presents EMCOR's revenues by operating segment and the
approximate percentage of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000,
1999 and 1998 (in millions, except for percentages):

======== ======== ========
Revenues for EMCOR's United States electrical construction and facilities
services segment for 2000 increased by $357.6 million, or 36.0%, compared to
1999. The increase in revenues was due to favorable market conditions for most
of the business units in the segment, and was primarily attributable to both new
construction and renovation and retrofit jobs for commercial construction and
the communication infrastructure and technology markets. Offsetting this overall
increase was a decrease in new construction revenues for casino work, although
this was partially offset by increased renovation and retrofit casino work.
Additionally, certain industrial construction related renovation and retrofit
revenues decreased principally due to these facilities not having as many
shut-downs in production to perform major maintenance during 2000. The $104.5
million, or 11.8%, increase in 1999 revenues compared to 1998, was attributable
to $23.0 million of revenues from companies acquired during 1999 and 1998 and
$81.5 million, or a 9.2% increase, due to growth from the balance of EMCOR's
United States electrical construction and facilities services businesses.
United States mechanical construction and facilities services revenues
increased $200.0 million, or 19.0%. The increase in revenues was primarily
attributable to revenue growth from EMCOR's operations excluding acquisitions.
Revenues from the impact of 1999 acquisitions contributed toward approximately
$77.5 million of the increase. Eastern and Western United States based
operations were the major contributors to the increase in revenue due to the
continued strong renovation market and new construction markets in New York
City, Houston, Connecticut, Denver and California. A $454.1 million, or 75.7%,
increase in revenues for 1999 compared to 1998 was attributable to $377.5
million of revenues related to 1999 and 1998 acquisitions, and $76.6 million of
the increase in revenues, or a 12.8% increase, was due to growth from the
balance of EMCOR's United States mechanical construction and facilities
services.
11
United States other revenues increased by $76.1 million for 2000 compared
to 1999. The primary source of the increase in 2000 was revenues of $68.6
million from BTENA and companies acquired during 1999, as well as increases from
the balance of EMCOR's other United States operations. Revenues for 1999
increased by $81.8 million versus 1998, primarily attributable to revenues of
$75.6 million from companies acquired during 1999 and 1998 and revenues from the
balance of EMCOR's United States other operations.
Revenues of Canada construction and facilities services increased by $40.3
million, or 20.5%, for 2000 as compared to 1999 revenues. The increase in
revenues for 2000 compared with 1999 was primarily due to an increased level of
activities in Eastern Canada, especially in the second half of 2000. The $5.2
million, or 2.6%, decrease in revenues for 1999 compared with 1998 was
attributable to a reduced level of activities in Eastern Canada and from delays
during 1999 in the commencement of certain projects caused by delays in the
bidding process for certain jobs.
United Kingdom construction and facilities services revenues decreased
$107.5 million, or 19.4%, for 2000 compared to 1999 revenues principally due to
the completion of the Jubilee Line project in London at the end of 1999. The
$60.4 million, or 12.2%, increase in 1999 revenues compared with 1998 revenues
was attributable to continued growth in selected construction and facilities
markets, combined with an increase in revenues associated with two major
projects.
Revenues of the Other international construction and facilities services
decreased for 2000 to $0.3 million, compared to $0.6 million for 1999 and $12.6
million for 1998. Other international construction and facilities services
primarily consist of EMCOR's operations in the Middle East. Substantially all of
the current projects in this operating segment are being performed by joint
ventures, and accordingly, no revenue attributable to such joint ventures was
recorded. In 1999, several projects in which EMCOR had majority ownership were
completed. EMCOR continues to pursue new business selectively in these markets;
however, the availability of opportunities has been significantly reduced as a
result of local economic factors.
COST OF SALES AND GROSS PROFIT
The following table presents EMCOR's cost of sales, gross profit, and gross
profit as a percentage of revenues, for the years ended December 2000, 1999 and
1998 (in millions, except for percentages):
2000 1999 1998
-------- -------- --------
Cost of sales .............................. $3,102.4 $2,598.1 $1,987.1
Gross profit ............................... $ 357.8 $ 295.9 $ 223.3
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues ... 10.3% 10.2% 10.1%
Gross profit increased $61.9 million, or 20.9%, for 2000 compared to 1999.
Gross profit as a percentage of revenues was 10.3% for 2000 compared to 10.2%
for 1999. The increase in gross profit was due to the increase in revenues of
EMCOR's operations excluding acquisitions, as well as incremental gross profit
from companies acquired in 1999. The increase in gross profit as a percentage of
revenues was primarily a result of an increase in gross profits on projects due
to overall favorable market conditions, partially offset by losses on jobs in
the South and North Carolina markets undertaken by EMCOR's Poole & Kent
subsidiary prior to their acquisition by EMCOR. Gross profit increased $72.6
million, or 32.5%, for 1999 compared to 1998, and gross profit as a percentage
of revenues increased 0.1% for the 1999 period compared with 1998. The increase
in gross profit and gross profit as a percentage of revenues was primarily due
to the mix of projects completed and in progress during 1999.
The following table presents EMCOR's selling, general and administrative
expenses, and selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 (in millions,

expenses as a percentage of revenues ......... 8.1% 8.2% 8.4%
Selling, general & administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues,
excluding amortization of goodwill ........... 7.9% 8.1% 8.4%
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $41.1 million, or
17.3%, between 2000 and 1999. As a percentage of revenues, total selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased by 0.1% to 8.1% in 2000 as
compared to 8.2% in 1999. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased
$51.7 million, or 27.8%, between 1999 and 1998. As a percentage of revenues,
total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 0.2% to 8.2% in
1999 as compared to 8.4% in 1998. The dollar increase during 2000 compared to
1999 was attributable to the increase in revenues and corresponding increases in
variable selling, general and administrative expenses required to support the
increased revenue base, incremental fixed costs to support the current growth in
operations, plus selling, general and administrative expenses associated with
BTENA and 1999 acquisitions. The decrease in selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues was primarily due to the leveraging of
fixed costs over increased revenues. The increase in selling, general and
administrative expenses for 1999 as compared to 1998 was primarily attributable
to incremental selling, general and administrative expenses from companies
acquired during 1999 and 1998, as well as the effect of the overall increase in
revenues on variable indirect overhead costs. The decrease
12
of 0.2% in total selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of
revenues was primarily due to the leveraging of fixed costs over increased
revenues and the generally lower total selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of revenues for companies acquired during 1999 and
1998.

Operating income increased for the United States electrical construction
and facilities services operations for 2000 compared to 1999. The dollar
increase in operating income for 2000 of $20.1 million, or 52.2%, as compared to
1999, was attributable to the continuing favorable market conditions due to
increased renovation projects as well as new construction spending, particularly
in Eastern and Western United States. As a percentage of revenues, operating
income increased by 0.4% for 2000 as compared to 1999. Operating income for 1999
for the United States electrical construction and facilities services operations
increased $2.2 million, or 6.0%, from 1998 levels due to the effect of
businesses acquired during 1999 and 1998 as well as growth from the balance of
EMCOR's operations.
United States mechanical construction and facilities services operations
operating income decreased $1.4 million for 2000, a 3.7% decrease over 1999
amounts. The decrease was primarily due to losses on jobs in the South and North
Carolina markets undertaken by EMCOR's Poole & Kent subsidiary prior to its
acquisition by EMCOR offsetting the increased operating income for most of the
operations in this segment. For 1999 compared with 1998, operating income
increased $16.9 million, or 80.5%, primarily due to growth of EMCOR's businesses
and operating income contributed by businesses acquired during 1999 and 1998. As
a percentage of revenues, operating income increased 0.1% from 1998 to 1999 and
decreased 0.7% from 1999 to 2000, principally due to the reasons cited above.
United States other operating losses increased $1.6 million for 2000 as
compared to 1999 primarily due to the continuing development costs of the
consulting and maintenance services operations. These operating losses for 1999
compared to 1998 decreased by $0.4 million primarily due to operating income
from certain related businesses acquired during 1999 and 1998, partially offset
by costs of development for the consulting and maintenance service operations.
Canada construction and facilities services operations operating income
increased by $1.2 million for 2000 compared to 1999 principally due to an
increased level of activities in Eastern Canada. Operating income as a
percentage of revenues increased 0.2% in 2000 compared to 1999 due to the jobs
available in 2000 having higher gross profit margins. The 0.5% decrease in
operating income as a percentage of revenues for 1999 compared to 1998 was
primarily due to the decrease in revenues from Eastern Canada operations,
attributable, among other things, to the delay in commencing certain projects in
1999 caused by delays in the bidding process for certain jobs.
United Kingdom construction and facilities services operating income
increased by $2.8 million for 2000 compared to 1999. The improvement was
primarily attributable to the commencement of new projects that have resulted in
higher gross profits in 2000 than in previous years due to improved market
conditions. For 1999, operating income increased to $3.2 million as compared to
operating losses of $0.9 million for 1998. This increase was attributable to
growth in selected construction and facilities services markets in the United
Kingdom.
General corporate expenses for 2000 increased by $1.1 million from 1999
levels and increased by $2.6 million between 1999 and 1998. The increases are
attributable to increased variable overhead costs associated with the Company's
increased revenues, as well as incremental fixed costs to support growth in
operations.
13
Interest expense decreased by $0.8 million for 2000 compared to 1999 and by
$0.5 million in 1999 compared to 1998, principally due to lower average
outstanding borrowings.
Interest income increased by $0.3 million for 2000 compared with 1999.
Interest income decreased by $1.5 million for 1999 compared to 1998. This
decrease for 1999 compared to 1998 was due to reduced cash available to invest
after approximately $55.8 million was utilized for acquisitions in 1999.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
In 1998, EMCOR sold, pursuant to underwritten public offerings, $115.0
million principal amount of 5.75% convertible subordinated notes and 1,100,000
shares of its common stock. Interest on the 5.75% convertible subordinated notes
is payable semi-annually. The 5.75% convertible subordinated notes are unsecured
indebtedness of EMCOR and are convertible at any time into common stock of EMCOR
at a conversion price of $27.34 per share.
During the third quarter of 1998, EMCOR's Board of Directors authorized a
stock repurchase program under which EMCOR may repurchase up to $20.0 million of
its common stock. EMCOR did not repurchase shares during 2000 and, as of
December 31, 2000, EMCOR had repurchased 1,132,000 shares of its Common Stock at
an aggregate cost of approximately $16.8 million.
Proceeds received from the sale of the 5.75% convertible subordinated notes
along with proceeds from the sale of common stock were used to (a) redeem
EMCOR's Series C Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $61.9 million; (b)
repay then outstanding borrowings under its working capital credit facility; (c)
prepay EMCOR's note in the aggregate principal amount of $5.5 million and
accrued interest thereon payable to its subsidiary Sellco and (d) fund its
acquisition of certain businesses through December 31, 1999.
The following table presents EMCOR's net cash provided by operating
activities, net cash used in investing activities and net cash (used in)

cash provided by operating activities for 2000 was $91.4 million, an increase of
$56.9 million from $34.5 million for 1999. The cash provided by operating
activities was primarily due to increased net income, decreased net inventories
and contracts in progress, increased accounts payable and accrued expenses,
offset partially by increased accounts receivable. Net cash used in investing
activities for 2000 of $11.1 million consisted primarily of $4.2 million for
acquisitions of businesses and related earn-out payments, net proceeds received
from other investments of $7.0 million and $16.7 million for the purchase of
property, plant and equipment, versus $55.8 million, $6.8 million and $10.7
million used for the same activities for 1999, respectively. Net cash used in
financing activities for 2000 of $1.2 million was primarily due to the
repayments of long-term debt and capital lease obligations.
On December 22, 1998, EMCOR and certain of its subsidiaries amended and
restated a June 19, 1996 credit facility; the amended credit facility provides
EMCOR with a credit facility for borrowings of up to $150.0 million. The amended
credit facility, which has an expiration date of June 30, 2002, is guaranteed by
certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of EMCOR. It is secured by
substantially all of the assets of EMCOR and those subsidiaries, and it provides
for borrowing capacity available in the form of revolving loans and/or letters
of credit. The amended credit facility contains various covenants, including
among other things, maintenance of certain financial ratios, and significant
restrictions with respect to cumulative aggregate payments for dividends, common
stock repurchases, investments, acquisitions, indebtedness, capital
expenditures, and prepayments of subordinated debt, all as defined therein. The
revolving loans bear interest at (1) a rate which is the prime commercial
lending rate announced by Harris Trust and Savings Bank from time to time (9.5%
at December 31, 2000) plus 0% to 0.5%, based on certain financial tests or (2)
at a LIBOR rate (6.3% at December 31, 2000) plus 1.25% to 2.0% based on certain
financial tests. The interest rates in effect at December 31, 2000 were 9.5% and
7.6%, respectively. Letters of credit fees issued under the credit facility
ranging from 0.5% to 2.0% are charged based on type of letters of credit issued
and certain financial tests. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, EMCOR had
approximately $12.1 million and $17.4 million of letters of credit outstanding,
respectively. No revolving loans were outstanding under the credit facility at
December 31, 2000 or 1999.
In December 2000, the Company's Canadian subsidiary, Comstock Canada Ltd.,
renewed a credit agreement with a bank providing for an overdraft facility of up
to Cdn. $0.5 million. The facility is secured by a standby letter of credit and
provides for interest at the bank's prime rate (7.5% at December 31, 2000).
There were no borrowings outstanding under this credit agreement at December 31,
2000 or 1999. The Canadian subsidiary may utilize EMCOR's credit facility for
its working capital requirements.
14
In 1998, EMCOR issued notes in connection with the acquisition of two
companies. A principal payment of $1.0 million was made in August 1999 in
respect of one note issued in August 1998, and a principal payment of the
balance of $1.15 million was made in respect of that note in August 2000.
Interest on the note was paid together with payments of principal. The other
note, issued in the principal amount of $6.2 million in December 1998, was paid
in full in January 1999.
The Company believes that current cash balances and borrowing capacity
available under lines of credit, combined with cash expected to be generated
from operations, will be sufficient to provide short-term and foreseeable
long-term liquidity and meet expected capital expenditure requirements.
CERTAIN INSURANCE MATTERS
As of December 31, 2000, EMCOR was utilizing approximately $12.1 million of
letters of credit obtained under its working capital credit facility as
collateral for its current insurance obligations.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133, as amended by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133", and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138 "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 138"), establishes for
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 accounting and
reporting standards requiring derivative instruments, as defined, to be measured
in the financial statements at fair value. SFAS 133 also requires that changes
in the derivative instruments' fair value be recognized currently in earnings
unless certain accounting criteria are met. EMCOR has evaluated this standard
and has concluded that the provisions of SFAS 133 will have no significant
effect on the financial condition or results of operations of EMCOR.
In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" ("SFAS
140"). SFAS 140 is a replacement of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 125. SFAS 140 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities occurring after
March 31, 2001. EMCOR has evaluated this standard and has concluded that the
provisions of SFAS 140 will not have a significant effect on the financial
conditions or results of operations of EMCOR.
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
EMCOR is exposed to market risk for changes in interest rates for
borrowings under its working capital credit facility. The working capital credit
facility bears interest at variable rates, and the fair value of this borrowing
is not significantly affected by changes in market interest rates.
Amounts invested in EMCOR's foreign operations are translated into U. S.
dollars at the exchange rates in effect at year end. The resulting translation
adjustments are recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income, a component
of stockholders' equity, in the consolidated balance sheets.

EMCOR GROUP, INC.
AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A--NATURE OF OPERATIONS
EMCOR Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and subsidiaries ("EMCOR") is
one of the largest mechanical and electrical construction and facilities
services firms in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and in the
world. EMCOR specializes in the design, integration and installation, start-up
of: (1) systems for the generation and distribution of electrical power,
including power cables, conduits, distribution panels, transformers, generators,
uninterruptible power supply systems and related switch gear and controls; (2)
lighting systems, including fixtures and controls; (3) low-voltage systems,
including fire alarm, security, and process control systems; (4) voice and data
communications systems, including fiber-optic and low voltage copper cabling;
(5) heating, ventilation, air conditioning (collectively, "HVAC"), refrigeration
and clean-room process ventilation systems and (6) plumbing, process and
high-purity piping systems. EMCOR provides mechanical and electrical
construction services and facilities services directly to corporations,
municipalities and other governmental entities, owners/developers, and tenants
of buildings. It also provides these services indirectly by acting as a
subcontractor to construction managers, general contractors, systems suppliers
and other subcontractors. Mechanical and electrical construction services
generally fall into one of two categories: (1) large installation projects with
contracts often in the multi-million dollar range that involve construction of
industrial and commercial buildings and institutional and public works
facilities or the fit-out of large blocks of space within commercial buildings
and (2) smaller installation projects typically involving fit-out, renovation
and retrofit work. In addition, EMCOR also provides services needed to support a
customer's facilities not related to construction projects. These services,
frequently referred to as facilities services, include customer based operations
and maintenance, mobile maintenance and service, small modification and retrofit
projects, consulting, program development and management for energy systems, and
maintenance of facilities. These services are provided to a wide range of
commercial, industrial, and institutional buildings including facilities at
which EMCOR provided construction services and at which construction services
were provided by others. Facilities services are frequently bundled to provide
integrated service packages and may include services in addition to EMCOR's core
mechanical and electrical services.
NOTE B--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EMCOR and its
majority-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions
have been eliminated. Investments over which EMCOR exercises significant
influence, but does not control (generally a 20% to 50% ownership interest), are
accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
PRINCIPLES OF PREPARATION
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
United States generally accepted accounting principles requires EMCOR to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Reclassifications of prior years data have been made in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements where appropriate to conform to the current
presentation.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Revenues from long-term contracts are recognized on the
percentage-of-completion method. Percentage-of-completion is measured
principally by the percentage of costs incurred and accrued to date for each
contract to the estimated total costs for each contract at completion. Certain
of EMCOR's electrical contracting business units measure
percentage-of-completion by the percentage of labor costs incurred to date for
each contract to the estimated total labor costs for such contract. Revenues
from services contracts are recognized as services are provided.
Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are made in the
period in which such losses are determined. In forecasting ultimate
profitability on certain contracts, estimated recoveries are included for work
performed under customer change orders to contracts for which firm prices have
not yet been negotiated. Due to uncertainties inherent in the estimation
process, it is reasonably possible that completion costs, including those
arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, will be
revised in the near-term. Such revisions to costs and income are recognized in
the period in which the revisions are determined.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
NOTE B--SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- (CONTINUED)
COSTS AND ESTIMATED EARNINGS ON UNCOMPLETED CONTRACTS
Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts
arise when revenues have been recorded but the amounts cannot be billed under
the terms of the contracts. Such amounts are recoverable from customers upon
various measures of performance, including achievement of certain milestones,
completion of specified units or completion of the contract.
Also included in costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts are
amounts EMCOR seeks or will seek to collect from customers or others for errors
or changes in contract specifications or design, contract change orders in
dispute or unapproved as to both scope and price, or other customer-related
causes of unanticipated additional contract costs (claims and unapproved change
orders). These amounts are recorded at their estimated net realizable value when
realization is probable and can be reasonably estimated. No profit is recognized
on the construction costs incurred in connection with these amounts. Unapproved
change orders involve the use of estimates, and it is reasonably possible that
revisions to the estimated recoverable amounts of recorded unapproved change
orders may be made in the near-term. Claims made by EMCOR involve negotiation
and, in certain cases, litigation. EMCOR expenses litigation costs as incurred,
although it may seek to recover these costs as part of the claim. EMCOR believes
that it has established legal basis for pursuing recovery of recorded claims,
and it is management's intention to pursue and litigate these claims, if
necessary, until a decision or settlement is reached. Claims also involve the
use of estimates, and it is reasonably possible that revisions to the estimated
recoverable amounts of recorded claims may be made in the near-term. Claims
against EMCOR are recognized when a loss is considered probable and amounts are
reasonably determinable.
Costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts and related amounts
billed as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 were as follows (in thousands):

$ (156,856) $ (74,152)
=========== ===========
As of December 31, 2000, costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings
on uncompleted contracts included unbilled revenues for unapproved change orders
of approximately $19.7 million and claims of approximately $12.8 million. In
addition, accounts receivable as of December 31, 2000 includes claims and
contractually billed amounts related to such contracts of approximately $20.1
million. Claims and related amounts included in accounts receivable aggregated
approximately $28.3 million as of December 31, 1999. Generally, contractually
billed amounts will not be paid by the customer to EMCOR until final resolution
of related claims.
CLASSIFICATION OF CONTRACT AMOUNTS
In accordance with industry practice, EMCOR classifies as current all assets
and liabilities related to the performance of long-term contracts. The
contracting cycle for certain long-term contracts may extend beyond one year
and, accordingly, collection or payment of amounts related to these contracts
may extend beyond one year. Accounts receivable at December 31, 2000 and 1999
included $160.9 million and $128.7 million, respectively, of retainage billed
under terms of the contracts. EMCOR estimates that approximately 75% of
retainage recorded at December 31, 2000 will be collected during 2001.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of the consolidated financial statements, EMCOR considers all
highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. EMCOR maintains a centralized cash management program whereby
its excess cash balances are invested in high quality, short-term money market
instruments which are considered cash equivalents. At times, cash balances in
EMCOR's bank accounts may exceed federally insured limits.
INVENTORIES
Inventories, which consist primarily of construction materials, are stated
at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined principally using average

Investments, notes and other long-term receivables at December 31, 2000
were $10.4 million compared to $8.2 million at December 31, 1999, and primarily
consist of investments in joint ventures accounted for using the equity method
of accounting.
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation is recorded
principally using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives ranging
from 3 to 40 years.
Property, plant and equipment in the accompanying Consolidated Balance
Sheets consisted of the following amounts as of December 31, 2000 and 1999 (in
thousands):
2000 1999

GOODWILL
Goodwill at December 31, 2000 and 1999, was approximately $67.6 million and
$68.0 million, respectively, and reflects the excess of cost over fair market
value of net identifiable assets of companies acquired in purchase transactions.
Goodwill is being amortized using the straight-line method over periods ranging
from 5 to 20 years.
At the end of each quarter, EMCOR reviews events and changes in
circumstances to determine whether the recoverability of the carrying value of
goodwill should be reassessed. Should events or circumstances indicate that the
carrying value may not be recoverable based on undiscounted future cash flows,
an impairment loss measured by the difference between the discounted future cash
flows (or another acceptable method for determining fair value) and the carrying
value of goodwill would be recognized by EMCOR. Through December 31, 2000, no
adjustment for the impairment of goodwill carrying value has been required.
INSURANCE RESERVES
EMCOR's insurance liability is determined actuarially based on claims filed
and an estimate of claims incurred but not yet reported. At December 31, 2000
and 1999, the estimated current portion of the discounted insurance liability
was included in "Other accrued expenses and liabilities" in the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheets. The non-current portion of the discounted insurance
liability was included in "Other long-term obligations".

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
EMCOR's financial instruments include accounts receivable, investments,
notes and other long-term receivables, long-term debt and other financing
commitments, for which carrying values approximate their fair values.
At December 31, 2000, the fair value of EMCOR's 5.75% Convertible
Subordinated Notes was $116.2 million compared to the carrying value of $115.0
million. The fair value was estimated based on quoted market prices and market
interest rates as of December 31, 2000.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
The financial statements and transactions of EMCOR's foreign subsidiaries
are maintained in their functional currency and translated into U.S. dollars in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52, "Foreign
Currency Translation". Translation adjustments have been accumulated as a
separate component of Stockholders' equity as Accumulated other comprehensive
loss.
INCOME TAXES
EMCOR accounts for income taxes in accordance with the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes" ("SFAS 109"). SFAS 109 requires an asset and liability approach which
requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities for
the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the
carrying amounts and the tax bases of assets and liabilities. Valuation
allowances are established when necessary to reduce net deferred tax assets to
the amount expected to be realized.
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Gains and losses on contracts designated as hedges of net investments in
foreign subsidiaries are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of
Stockholders' Equity and Comprehensive Income as a component of Accumulated
other comprehensive loss.
As of December 31, 2000, EMCOR did not have any forward contracts in
effect, and the forward contracts in effect during the year were not material to
the Consolidated Financial Statements.
VALUATION OF STOCK OPTION GRANTS
EMCOR accounts for its stock options under Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB 25"). See Note
I for pro forma information relating to treatment of EMCOR's stock options under
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation" ("SFAS 123").
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 133"). SFAS 133, as amended by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities-Deferral of the Effective Date of SFAS No. 133", and
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138 "Accounting for Certain
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS 138"), establishes for
fiscal quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 accounting and
reporting standards requiring derivative instruments, as defined, to be measured
in the financial statements at fair value. SFAS 133 also requires that changes
in the derivative instruments' fair value be recognized currently in earnings
unless certain accounting criteria are met. EMCOR has evaluated this standard
and has concluded that the provisions of SFAS 133 will have no significant
effect on the financial condition or results of operations of EMCOR.
In September 2000, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140, "Accounting for Transfers
and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities" ("SFAS
140"). SFAS 140 is a replacement of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 125. SFAS 140 provides accounting and reporting standards for transfers and
servicing of financial assets and extinguishment of liabilities occurring after
March 31, 2001. EMCOR has evaluated this standard and has concluded that the
provisions of SFAS 140 will not have a significant effect on the financial
conditions or results of operations of EMCOR.

NOTE C--ACQUISITIONS OF BUSINESSES
During 2000, EMCOR paid additional consideration by reason of earn-outs for
prior year acquisitions of an aggregate of $4.2 million in cash. During 1999,
EMCOR acquired two businesses and paid additional consideration by reason of
earn-outs with respect to prior year acquisitions of an aggregate of $55.8
million in cash. During 1998, EMCOR acquired ten businesses for an aggregate
purchase price of $36.8 million, $28.5 million of which was paid in cash and
$8.3 million was paid in notes made by EMCOR. The purchase price of certain
transactions are subject to finalization based on certain contingencies provided
for in the purchase agreements. These acquisitions were accounted for by the
purchase method, and the purchase price has been allocated to the assets
acquired and liabilities assumed, based upon the estimated fair values of these
assets and liabilities at the dates of acquisition. Goodwill, representing the
excess purchase price over the fair value of amounts assigned to the net
tangible assets acquired, was $67.6 million and $68.0 million at December 31,
2000 and 1999, respectively, and is being amortized over periods of 5 to 20
years. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998
was $4.6, $3.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively. The pro forma effect on
EMCOR's revenues, net income and earnings per share for 1999 and 1998, as though
the acquisitions occurred as of January 1 of each year, was not material.

NOTE E--CURRENT DEBT
1998 CREDIT FACILITY
On December 22, 1998, EMCOR and certain of its subsidiaries amended and
restated its June 19, 1996 credit facility; the amended credit facility provides
EMCOR with a credit facility for borrowings of up to $150.0 million. The amended
credit facility, which has an expiration date of June 30, 2002, is guaranteed by
certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of EMCOR. It is secured by
substantially all of the assets of EMCOR and those subsidiaries, and it provides
for borrowing capacity available in the form of revolving loans and/or letters
of credit. The amended credit facility contains various covenants, including
among other things, maintenance of certain financial ratios, and significant
restrictions with respect to cumulative aggregate payments for dividends, common
stock repurchases, investments, acquisitions, indebtedness, capital
expenditures, and prepayments of subordinated debt, all as defined therein. The
revolving loans bear interest at (1) a rate which is the prime commercial
lending rate announced by Harris Trust and Savings Bank from time to time (9.5%
at December 31, 2000) plus 0% to 0.5%, based on certain financial tests or (2) a
LIBOR rate (6.3% at December 31, 2000) plus 1.25% to 2.0% based on certain
financial tests. The interest rates in effect at December 31, 2000 were 9.5% and
7.6%, respectively. Letters of credit fees issued under the credit facility
ranging from 0.5% to 2.0% are charged based on type of letters of credit issued
and certain financial tests. As of December 31, 2000 and 1999, EMCOR had
approximately $12.1 million and $17.4 million of letters of credit outstanding,
respectively. No revolving loans were outstanding under the 1998 Credit Facility
at December 31, 2000 or 1999.
FOREIGN BORROWINGS
In December 2000, EMCOR's Canadian subsidiary, Comstock Canada Ltd.,
renewed a credit agreement with a bank providing for an overdraft facility of up
to Cdn. $0.5 million. The facility is secured by a standby letter of credit and
provides for interest at the bank's prime rate (7.5% at December 31, 2000).
There were no borrowings outstanding under this facility at December 31, 2000 or
1999. The Canadian subsidiary may utilize EMCOR's 1998 credit facility for any
future working capital requirements.

CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES
In March 1998, EMCOR sold, pursuant to an underwritten public offering,
$115.0 million principal amount of 5.75% Convertible Subordinated Notes
("Subordinated Notes"). The Subordinated Notes will mature on April 1, 2005 and
are general, unsecured obligations of EMCOR, subordinated in right to all
existing and future Senior Indebtedness (as defined in the indenture pursuant to
which Subordinated Notes were issued (the "Subordinated Indenture")) of EMCOR.
The Subordinated Indenture does not contain any financial covenants or any
restrictions on the payment of dividends, the repurchase of equity securities of
EMCOR or the incurrence of Indebtedness (as defined in the Subordinated
Indenture) or Senior Indebtedness. Holders of the Subordinated Notes have the

SERIES C NOTES
On December 15, 1994, EMCOR issued approximately $62.8 million principal
amount of Series C Notes. Interest on the Series C Notes was payable
semiannually through June 15, 1996 by the issuance of additional Series C Notes
and was thereafter payable quarterly in cash until redemption. The Series C
Notes were unsecured indebtedness of EMCOR and were subordinate to indebtedness
under EMCOR's 1996 credit facility. The Series C Notes were recorded at a
discount to their face amount to yield an estimated effective interest rate of
14.0%.
On June 3, 1997, EMCOR purchased $1.0 million of Series C Notes and retired
such notes. On June 27, 1997, EMCOR called for the partial redemption of
approximately $10.9 million principal amount of Series C Notes. In accordance
with the Indenture governing the Series C Notes, the redemption price of the
Series C Notes was 105% of the principal amount redeemed. Accordingly, EMCOR
recorded an extraordinary loss of approximately $1.0 million related to the
early retirement of debt. The extraordinary loss consisted primarily of the
write-off of the associated debt discount plus premiums and costs associated
with the redemption, net of income tax benefits of approximately $0.7 million.
On March 18, 1998, EMCOR called for redemption approximately $61.9 million
principal amount of Series C Notes and irrevocably funded such amounts, together
with the redemption premium, with the trustee of the Series C Notes. In
accordance with the Indenture governing the Series C Notes, the redemption price
of the Series C Notes was 104% of the principal amount redeemed. Accordingly,
EMCOR recorded an extraordinary loss of $4.8 million net of income taxes related
to the early retirement of debt. The extraordinary loss consisted primarily of
the write-off of the associated debt discount plus the redemption premium and
costs associated with the redemption, net of income tax benefits.
SUPPLEMENTAL SELLCO NOTE
On December 15, 1994, EMCOR issued to its wholly-owned subsidiary SellCo
Corporation ("SellCo") its 8.0% promissory note in the principal amount of
approximately $5.5 million (the "Supplemental SellCo Note"). The Supplemental
SellCo Note provided that it matured on the earlier of (i) December 15, 2004 or
(ii) one day prior to the date on which the SellCo Notes (hereafter defined) are
deemed canceled. The Supplemental SellCo Note was recorded at a discount to its
face amount to yield an estimated effective interest rate of 14.0%.
In June 1998, EMCOR prepaid in full, including accrued interest thereon,
the Supplemental SellCo Note.
SELLCO NOTES
On December 15, 1994, SellCo issued approximately $48.1 million principal
amount of 12.0% Subordinated Contingent Payments Notes, due 2004, (the "SellCo
Notes"). Interest is payable semiannually in additional SellCo Notes. Net Cash
Proceeds (as defined in the Indenture pursuant to which the SellCo Notes were
issued) from the sales of stock or assets of SellCo subsidiaries were to be used
to redeem SellCo Notes. The SellCo Notes are not obligations of EMCOR and,
accordingly, are not included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999. Since the date of issuance, approximately $21.5
million of the SellCo Notes have been redeemed with proceeds from the sale of
stock and assets of SellCo subsidiaries and the prepayment by EMCOR of the
Supplemental SellCo Note. The SellCo Notes mature on December 15, 2004 if not
deemed canceled at an earlier date pursuant to the Indenture.
NOTES PAYABLE
In 1998, EMCOR issued notes in connection with the acquisition of two
companies. A principal payment of $1.0 million was made in August 1999 in
respect of one note issued in August 1998, and a principal payment of the
balance of $1.15 million was made in respect of that note in August 2000.
Interest on the note was payable together with payments of principal. The other
note, issued in the principal amount of $6.2 million in December 1998, was paid
in full in January 1999.

1999, respectively, other long-term debt, excluding current maturities, totaling
$1.1 million and $1.5 million was owed by certain of EMCOR's subsidiaries. The
aggregate amount of other long-term debt maturing during the next five years is
approximately: $0.2 million in each of 2001 and 2002, $0.1 million in each of
2003, 2004 and 2005, and $0.4 million thereafter.
NOTE G--INCOME TAXES
EMCOR files a consolidated federal income tax return including all its U.S.
subsidiaries. At December 31, 2000, EMCOR had net operating loss carryforwards
("NOLs") for U.S. income tax purposes of approximately $40.0 million, which
expire in the years 2009 through 2012. The NOLs are subject to review by the
Internal Revenue Service. Future changes in ownership of EMCOR, as defined by
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, could limit the amount of NOLs
available for use in any one year. In the United Kingdom, EMCOR's wholly owned
subsidiary, Drake & Scull, has a trading loss carry-forward of approximately
$6.0 million. Trading losses may be carried forward, without a time limit,
against future income from the same trade.
EMCOR adopted Fresh-Start Accounting in connection with EMCOR's
reorganization in December 1994. As a result, the tax benefit of any net
operating loss carryforwards or net deductible temporary differences which
existed as of December 15, 1994 will result in a charge to the tax provision
(provision in lieu of income taxes) and to capital surplus. Amounts credited to
capital surplus were $24.4 million, $15.6 million and $8.2 million for the years
ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively.

respect of such bonds.
EMCOR is subject to regulation with respect to the handling of certain

NOTE O--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In February 1995, as part of an investigation by the New York County
District Attorney's office into the business affairs of a general contractor
that did business with EMCOR's subsidiary, Forest Electric Corp. ("Forest"), a
search warrant was executed at Forest's executive offices. On July 12, 2000,
Forest was served with a Subpoena Duces Tecum to produce certain documents as
part of a broader investigation by the New York County District Attorney's
office into illegal business practices in the New York City construction
industry. Forest has been informed by the New York County District Attorney's
office that it and certain of its officers are targets of the investigation.
Forest intends to produce documents in response to the subpoena and to cooperate
fully with the District Attorney's office investigation as it proceeds.
On July 31, 1998, a former employee of a subsidiary of EMCOR filed a
class-action complaint on behalf of the participants in two employee benefit
plans sponsored by EMCOR against EMCOR and other defendants for breach of
fiduciary duty under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act. All of the
claims relate to alleged acts or omissions which occurred during the period May
1991 to December 1994. The principal allegations of the complaint are that the
defendants breached their fiduciary duties by causing the plans to purchase and
hold stock of EMCOR when it was then known as JWP, Inc. and when the defendants
knew or should have known it was imprudent to do so. The plaintiff has not made
claim for a specific dollar amount of damages but generally seeks to recover for
the benefit plans the loss in the value of JWP, Inc. stock held by the plans.
EMCOR and the other defendants intend to vigorously defend the case. Insurance
coverage may be applicable under an EMCOR pension trust liability insurance
policy for EMCOR and those present and former employees of EMCOR who are
defendants in the action.
Substantial settlements or damage judgements against EMCOR arising out of
these matters could have a material adverse effect on EMCOR's business,
operating results and financial condition.
In addition to the above, EMCOR is involved in other legal proceedings and
claims, asserted by and against EMCOR, which have arisen in the ordinary course
of business. EMCOR believes it has a number of valid defenses to these actions
and EMCOR intends to vigorously defend or assert these claims and does not
believe that a significant liability will result. However, EMCOR cannot predict
the outcome thereof or the impact that an adverse result of the matters
discussed above will have upon EMCOR's financial position or results of
operations.

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of EMCOR Group, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EMCOR

December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity and comprehensive income for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000. These
consolidated financial statements and the schedule referred to below are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements and schedule based on our
audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally
accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform
the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An
audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December
31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedule of Valuation and Qualifying
Accounts is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and is not part of the basic financial statements. This
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
