PART I
Item 1. Business.
(a) General Development of Business.
SJW Corp. was incorporated in California on February 8, 1985. SJW Corp. is a
holding company with two wholly owned subsidiaries, San Jose Water Company and
SJW Land Company.
San Jose Water Company, with headquarters at 374 West Santa Clara Street, San
Jose, California 95196, was reorganized under the laws of the State of
California in 1931, succeeding a business founded in 1866. San Jose Water
Company is a public utility in the business of providing water service to a
population of approximately 979,000 people in an area comprising about 138
square miles in the metropolitan San Jose area. San Jose Water Company's web
site can be accessed via the Internet at http://www.sjwater.com.
SJW Land Company was incorporated in October, 1985. SJW Land Company owns and
operates parking facilities adjacent to the company's headquarters and the San
Jose Arena. SJW Land Company also owns a commercial building in San Jose and 70%
limited partnership interest in 444 West Santa Clara Street, L.P.
SJW Corp. also owns 1,099,952 shares of California Water Service Group.
Regulation and Rates.
San Jose Water Company's rates, service and other matters affecting its business
are subject to regulation by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC).
3
4
Ordinarily, there are two types of rate increases, general and offset. The
purpose of the latter is generally to compensate utilities for increases in
specific expenses, such as those for purchased water or power.
The most recent general rate case decision authorized an initial increase
followed by two annual step increases designed to maintain the authorized return
on equity over a three-year period. General rate applications are normally filed
and processed during the last year covered by the most recent rate case in an
attempt to avoid regulatory lag.
Pursuant to Section 792.5 of the California Public Utilities Code, a balancing
account is to be kept for all expense items for which revenue offsets have been
authorized. A separate balancing account must be maintained for each offset
expense item. The purpose of a balancing account is to track the
under-collection or over-collection associated with expense changes and the
revenue authorized by the CPUC to offset those expense changes. At December 31,
1999 the balancing account had a net over-collected balance to be refunded of
$51,000.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This report contains forward looking statements relating to future events and
financial performance of the company. Such forward looking statements are
identified by words including "expect", "estimate", "anticipate" and similar
expressions. The company's actual results could differ materially from those
discussed in such forward looking statements. Important factors that could
cause or contribute to such differences include the following:
The CPUC's policy and regulations can adversely affect San Jose Water
Company's operating results through the availability, timeliness and amount of
rate relief. The CPUC's willingness to allow San Jose Water Company to recover
all of its capital expenditures and to provide financial and operational
flexibility to engage in non-regulated operations can also affect San Jose Water
Company's operating results.
San Jose Water Company's sales and therefore its operating results could
be adversely affected by several events:
Difficulties in obtaining a secured water supply from the Santa Clara
Valley Water District (SCVWD) which receives its allotment from the state and
federal water projects could prevent the company from satisfying its customer
demand within its service area;
Fluctuation of customer sales due to lifestyle or weather;
Availability of recycled water and its acceptance by customers as a
substitute to potable water; and
Economic development and growth in San Jose Water Company's service
area.
SJW Corp.'s expenses and therefore its operating results could be
adversely affected by the following:
4
5
Fluctuation of surface water availability from San Jose Water Company's
Santa Cruz Mountain Watershed, which produces a less costly water supply, could
result in the need to procure more costly water from other sources;
Stringent environmental and water quality regulations could increase San
Jose Water Company's water quality compliance costs;
Consequences from pollution and contamination of San Jose Water
Company's wells and source of supply could result in the need to procure more
costly water from other sources;
The level of labor and non-labor operating and maintenance expenses as
affected by inflationary forces and collective bargaining power could adversely
affect the operating and maintenance expenses of the corporation;
Cost and other effects of lawsuits against SJW Corp. or its
subsidiaries, whether civil, environmental, product-related or liability-related
could increase the corporation's legal, liability and insurance costs.
The City of Cupertino's lease operation could be adversely affected by
the capital requirements, the ability of San Jose Water Company to raise rates
through the City Council and the level of operating and maintenance expenses.
SJW Land Company's expenses and operating results could be adversely
affected by the fluctuations in the parking lot activities, the San Jose Arena
events and the development and sale of the undeveloped parcels of land.
See also the heading "Factors That May Adversely Affect Future Operation
Results" under Item 7, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations."
The company undertakes no obligation to update the information including
the forward-looking statements, contained in this report.
(b) Financial Information about Industry Segments.
San Jose Water Company generated 99% of SJW Corp.'s consolidated revenue for the
years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997. There were no significant changes
in 1999 in the type of products produced or services rendered by San Jose Water
Company, or in its markets or methods of distribution.
SJW Land Company contributed 1% to SJW Corp.'s consolidated revenue in 1999,
1998 and 1997. In 1999 and 1998, SJW Land Company sold non-utility properties
and contributed a higher net income percentage to SJW Corp.'s consolidated
income for those respective years.
Dividend income from California Water Service Group generated 7% of consolidated
income for the years 1999, 1998 and 1997.

(c) Narrative Description of Business.
(1) (i) General.
The principal business of San Jose Water Company consists of the production,
purchase, storage, purification, distribution and retail sale of water. San Jose
Water Company provides water service to customers in portions of the cities of
Cupertino and San Jose and in the cities of Campbell, Monte Sereno, Saratoga and
the Town of Los Gatos, and adjacent unincorporated territory, all in the County
of Santa Clara in the State of California. It distributes water to customers in
accordance with accepted water utility methods, which include pumping from
storage and gravity feed from high elevation reservoirs.
In October 1997, San Jose Water Company commenced operation of the City of
Cupertino Municipal water system under terms of a 25-year lease. The system is
adjacent to the existing San Jose Water Company Service area and has 4,200
service connections. Under terms of the lease, San Jose Water Company made an
up-front $6.8 million lease payment to the City which will be amortized over the
lease term. The Company is responsible for all aspects of system operation
including capital improvements.
The Merger
On October 28, 1999, SJW Corp. and American Water Works Company, Inc. (American
Water) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement).
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Water
will merge with and into SJW Corp. American Water is the largest investor-owned
and most geographically diverse water utility business in the United States.
American Water provides water utility services to over 900 communities with a
total population of approximately 10 million in 23 states.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each share of the company's common
stock issued and outstanding on the closing date would be converted into the
right to receive $128 per share in cash. SJW Corp. expects that the transaction
will be completed in 8-12 months, following all required regulatory approvals,
termination of the waiting period under federal antitrust laws and the approval
of the Merger Agreement by SJW Corp.'s shareholders. Shareholders of SJW Corp.
will be asked to approve the Merger Agreement at the Annual Meeting of the
Shareholders to be held on April 20, 2000.
The receipt of the proposed merger consideration will be treated as a taxable
transaction under the applicable provision of the Internal Revenue Code and may
also be taxable under applicable state, local, foreign and other tax laws. The
transaction will be accounted for under the purchase accounting method.

(1) (iii) Water Supply.
San Jose Water Company's water supply is obtained from wells, surface run-off or
diversion and by purchases from the Santa Clara Valley Water District (SCVWD).
Surface supplies, which during a year of normal rainfall satisfy about 6% to 8%
of San Jose Water Company's current annual needs, provide approximately 1% of
its water supply in a dry year and approximately 14% in a wet year. In dry years
the decrease in water from surface run-off and diversion, and the corresponding
increase in purchased and pumped water increases production costs substantially.
Groundwater levels in 1999 remained at a high level reflecting the impact of the
last rainfall season. SCVWD's reservoir storage of approximately 125,399 acre
feet (74% of capacity) was reported on February 22, 2000.
Until 1989, San Jose Water Company had never found it necessary to impose
mandatory water rationing. Except in a few isolated cases when service had been
interrupted or curtailed because of power or equipment failures, construction
shutdowns or other operating difficulties, San Jose Water Company had not at any
prior time in its history interrupted or imposed mandatory curtailment of
service to any type or class of customer. During the summer of 1989 through
March 1993, rationing was imposed intermittently, to all customers based on
request from SCVWD.
(1) (iv) Franchises.
San Jose Water Company holds such franchises or permits in the communities it
serves as it judges necessary to operate and maintain its facilities in the
public streets.
(1) (v) Seasonal Factors.
Water sales are seasonal in nature. The demand for water, especially by
residential customers, is generally influenced by weather conditions. The timing
of precipitation and climatic conditions can cause seasonal water consumption by
residential customers to vary significantly.
(1) (x) Competition and Condemnation.
San Jose Water Company is a public utility regulated by the CPUC and operates
within a service area approved by the CPUC. The laws of the State of California
provide that no other investor owned public utility may operate in San Jose
Water Company's service area without first obtaining from the CPUC a certificate
of public convenience and necessity. Past experience shows such a certificate
will be issued only after demonstrating San Jose Water Company's service in such
area is inadequate.
California law also provides that whenever a public agency constructs facilities
to extend utility service to the service area of a privately owned public
utility (like San Jose Water Company), such an act constitutes the taking of
property and is conditioned upon payment of just compensation to the private
utility.
7
8
Under the constitution and statutes of the State of California, municipalities,
water districts and other public agencies have been authorized to engage in the
ownership and operation of water systems. Such agencies are empowered to condemn
properties operated by privately owned public utilities upon payment of just
compensation and are further authorized to issue bonds (including revenue bonds)
for the purpose of acquiring or constructing water systems. To the Company's
knowledge, no municipality, water district or other public agency has pending
any action to condemn any part of San Jose Water Company's system.
(1) (xii) Environmental Matters.
San Jose Water Company maintains procedures to produce potable water in
accordance with all applicable county, state and federal environmental rules and
regulations. Additionally, San Jose Water Company is subject to environmental
regulation by various other governmental authorities. See Part II, Item 7,
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations."
(1) (xiii) Employees.
As of December 31, 1999, San Jose Water Company had 285 employees, of whom 59
were executive, administrative or supervisory personnel, and of whom 226 were
members of unions. San Jose Water Company reached a two-year collective
bargaining agreement with the Utility Workers of America, representing the
majority of employees and the International Union of Operating Engineers,
representing certain employees in the engineering department covering the years
1999 and 2000. Both groups are affiliated with the AFL-CIO.

Item 2. Properties.
The properties of San Jose Water Company consist of a unified system of water
production, storage, purification and distribution located in the County of
Santa Clara in the State of California. In general, the property is comprised of
franchise rights, water rights, necessary rights-of-way, approximately 7,000
acres of land held in fee (which is primarily non-developable watershed),
impounding reservoirs with a capacity of approximately 2.256 billion gallons,
diversion facilities, wells, distribution storage of approximately 240 million
gallons and all water facilities, equipment and other property necessary to
supply its customers.
San Jose Water Company maintains all of its properties in good operating
condition in accordance with customary proper practice for a water utility. San
Jose Water Company's well pumping stations have a production capacity of
approximately 264 million gallons per day and the present capacity for taking
purchased water is approximately 172 million gallons per day. The gravity water
collection system has a physical delivery capacity of approximately 25 million
gallons per day. During 1999, a maximum and average of 207 million gallons and
136 million gallons of water per day, respectively, were delivered to the
system.

revenue.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Valley Title Company
In 1993, Valley Title Company and its insurer claimed in a lawsuit that a fire
service pipeline ruptured, causing water and heating oil to flood the title
company's basement. In April 1995, San Jose Water Company's insurance carrier
settled the property damage claim of plaintiff insurance company for $3.5
million.
The jury separately awarded plaintiff title company $3 million for its loss of
business documents. A unanimous appellate court reversed this decision, and in
January 1998, the California Supreme Court denied review of that reversal.
In July 1998, Maxxum Management Company, successor to Valley Title Company,
filed a new lawsuit against San Jose Water Company. The litigation was based
upon the same facts as the first lawsuit but alleges a cause of action in
inverse condemnation. San Jose Water Company has recently succeeded in having
the case dismissed by the Court of Appeal and the case is concluded. San Jose
Water Company believes the matter has come to a successful closure.

Consolidated operating revenue for 1999 increased $10,991,000, or 10%,
from 1998 mainly due to a 4% increase in water consumption and increased office
rental activities. Rate increases and new customers contributed $6,048,000 and
$752,000, respectively, to 1999's revenue.
Consolidated operating revenue for 1998 decreased $4,074,000, or 4%,
from 1997 mainly due to an 8% decrease in water consumption and reduced parking
activities. The decline was partially offset by rate increases of $1,175,000,
and usage by new customers of $1,652,000.

OTHER INCOME AND EXPENSE
The 1999 dividend income increased $16,000, or 1%, over 1998 due to a $.015 per
share increase in the California Water Service Group annual dividend.
San Jose Water Company's interest cost on long-term debt in 1999,
including capitalized interest, increased $959,000 from 1998 due to the issuance
of the Series E Senior Note. San Jose Water Company's weighted average cost of
long-term debt, including amortization of debt issuance costs, was 8.04%, 8.04%
and 8.27% as of December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
In association with SJW Corp.'s merger with American Water Works
Company, Inc., certain merger-related expenses in the amount of $1,588,000 were
incurred in 1999.
Other income in 1999 and 1998 included gains on sale of nonutility
properties to affiliated and non-affiliated parties.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS
San Jose Water Company's budgeted capital expenditures for 2000 compared to
1999, exclusive of capital expenditures financed by customer contributions and
advances, are as follows:
BUDGETED CAPITAL EXPENDITURES (in thousands)
2000 1999
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Source of supply $ 72 -% $ 692 3%
Reservoirs and tanks 3,470 14% 1,737 8%
Pump stations and equipment 1,391 6% 1,902 9%
Distribution system 15,286 62% 14,386 65%
Equipment and other 4,332 18% 3,433 15%
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$24,551 100% $22,150 100%
====================================================================================================
The 2000 capital budget is concentrated in main replacements and
facility relocation. Approximately $15 million will be spent to systematically
renew the company's aging infrastructure and $1.6 million will be spent in the
relocation and expansion of operations and engineering facilities.
San Jose Water Company expects to incur approximately $120 million,
exclusive of customer contributions and advances, in capital expenditures over
the next five years. The company's actual capital expenditures may vary from its
projection due to changes in the expected demand for services, weather patterns,
actions by governmental agencies and general economic conditions. Total
additions to utility plant normally exceed company-financed additions by several
million dollars because certain new facilities are constructed using advances
from developers and contributions in aid of construction.
16
17
Most of San Jose Water Company's distribution system has been
constructed over the last 40 years. Expenditure levels for renewal and
modernization of this part of the system will grow at an increasing rate as
these components reach the end of their useful lives. Additionally, in most
cases, replacement cost will significantly exceed the original installation cost
of the retired asset due to increases in the cost of goods and services.
SOURCES OF CAPITAL
San Jose Water Company's ability to finance future construction programs and
sustain dividend payments depends on its ability to attract external financing
and maintain or increase internally generated funds. The level of future
earnings and the related cash flow from operations is dependent, in large part,
upon the timing and outcome of regulatory proceedings.
Over the past five years, SJW Corp. has paid its shareholders, in the
form of dividends, an average of 50% of its net income. The remaining earnings
have been reinvested. Capital requirements not funded by earnings are expected
to be funded through external financing in the form of unsecured senior notes or
a commercial bank line of credit. As of December 31, 1999, SJW Corp. and its
subsidiaries had $24.7 million of unused line of credit and over $50 million of
borrowing capacity under the terms of the senior note agreements.
San Jose Water Company's financing activity is designed to achieve a
capital structure consistent with regulatory guidelines of approximately 50%
debt and 50% equity.
In 1998, San Jose Water Company issued $15 million in Series E unsecured
30-year senior note. In 1997, the company redeemed its $1.5 million Series P
6.5% first mortgage bonds at maturity. The company intends to satisfy all
foreseeable future long-term financing needs with senior notes.
FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
The results of operations of San Jose Water Company generally depend on the
following factors: (1) regulation, (2) surface water supply and (3) operation
and maintenance expense.
REGULATION
Principally all the operating revenue of San Jose Water Company results from the
sale of water at rates authorized by the California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC). The CPUC sets rates that are intended to provide revenue sufficient to
recover operating expenses and produce a reasonable return on common equity. The
company's most recent rate case decision authorized it to earn a return on
common equity in 1996, 1997, 1998 and 1999 of 10.2% which is within the range of
recent rates of return authorized by the CPUC for water utilities. The same
decision also granted the company memorandum account protection for the largely
indeterminate costs associated with the new or more stringent federal water
quality regulations. With the establishment of the water quality memorandum
17
18
account, any potential financial exposure resulting from these regulations has
been substantially reduced.
San Jose Water Company deferred the filing of a general rate case
application from January, 1999 to January, 2000. Consequently, apart from any
offset increases, the company is not authorized any additional step rate
increases until the next general rate case decision becomes effective in
January, 2001.
SURFACE WATER SUPPLY
The level of surface water available in each year depends on the amount of
rainfall and run-off collected in San Jose Water Company's Santa Cruz Mountains
reservoirs. In a normal year, surface supply provides 6-8% of the total water
supply of the system. Surface water is a less costly source of water and its
availability may significantly impact the results of operations.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE EXPENSE
San Jose Water Company reached an agreement with its unionized personnel
covering 1999 and 2000. The agreement includes a 3% wage increase for 2000, and
minor benefit modifications.
YEAR 2000 ISSUES
San Jose Water Company executives, as part of their operating duties, evaluated
the company's information technology (IT) and non-IT systems to ensure all
systems are prepared for the Year 2000 (Y2K). The company generally uses
software packages and hardware that are Y2K assured by vendors or independent
testers.
San Jose Water Company has an IT master plan that identifies systems
that need to be replaced due to age, or need to be modified to generate
operating and customer service benefits. The systems that were identified as
non-assured were upgraded as of October, 1999.
Management also contacted critical third party suppliers regarding their
Y2K readiness. Suppliers of water, power and other goods are critical to San
Jose Water Company's operations. The suppliers described their state of
readiness and contingency plans, if available. San Jose Water Company prepared
comprehensive Y2K contingency plans covering accounting, operations and
information systems.
To date, San Jose Water Company has not experienced any Y2K related
issues nor has incurred any significant costs associated solely with Y2K issues.
No major IT projects have been deferred due to Y2K issues. The costs of
identifying the issues, evaluating the systems, inquiring about third party
suppliers' Y2K preparedness and any testing have been expensed.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
San Jose Water Company's operations are subject to water quality and pollution
control regulations issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), the California Department of Health Services (DHS) and the California
Regional Water Quality Control Board. The company is
18
19
also subject to environmental laws and regulations administered by other state
and local regulatory agencies.
Under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), San Jose Water Company
is subject to regulation by the EPA of the quality of water it sells and
treatment techniques it uses to make the water potable. The EPA promulgates
nationally applicable maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) for drinking water. San
Jose Water Company is currently in compliance with all of the 87 primary MCLs
promulgated to date. However, the EPA and DHS have continuing authority to issue
additional regulations under the SDWA. San Jose Water Company has implemented
monitoring activities and installed specific water treatment improvements
enabling it to comply with all existing MCLs and plan for compliance with future
drinking water regulations.
Other state and local environmental regulations apply to San Jose Water
Company's operations and facilities. These regulations relate primarily to the
handling, storage and disposal of hazardous materials. San Jose Water Company is
currently in compliance with state and local regulations governing hazardous
materials, point and non-point source discharges and the warning provisions of
the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.
Future drinking water regulations may require increased monitoring,
disinfection or other treatment of underground water supplies, fluoridation of
all supplies, more stringent performance standards for treatment plants and
procedures to reduce levels of disinfection by-products. San Jose Water Company
continues to seek to establish mechanisms for recovery of government-mandated
environmental compliance costs. However, currently, there are limited regulatory
mechanisms and procedures available to the company for the recovery of such
costs and there can be no assurance that such costs will be fully recovered.
NONREGULATED OPERATIONS
The investment in California Water Service Group is expected to produce 2000
pre-tax dividend income and cash flow of approximately $1.2 million. SJW Land
Company's parking revenue is largely dependent upon the level of events and
activities at the San Jose Arena which is located adjacent to its parking
facility. In the spring of 2000, SJW Land Company's parking lots will host the
hugely popular Cirque du Soleil, enhancing parking and rental cash flow during
that period. SJW Land Company's commercial property is fully leased.
The operating results of the City of Cupertino lease are largely
dependent on the level of operation, maintenance and capital costs incurred. In
January, 2000, San Jose Water Company completed its phase-in of its regular
water service rates within the City of Cupertino. Further changes in water
service rates will be subject to the approval of the Cupertino City Council.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years ended December 31, 1999, 1998, and 1997
(Dollars in thousands, except share data)
NOTE 1
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SJW
Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances
have been eliminated.
SJW Corp.'s principal subsidiary, San Jose Water Company, is a regulated
California water utility providing water service to the greater metropolitan San
Jose area. San Jose Water Company's accounting policies comply with the
applicable uniform system of accounts prescribed by the California Public
Utilities Commission (CPUC) and conform to generally accepted accounting
principles for rate-regulated public utilities. More than 90% of San Jose Water
Company's revenue is derived from the sale of water to residential and business
customers.
SJW Land Company owns and operates a 900-space surface parking facility
adjacent to the San Jose Arena, a commercial property in San Jose and also owns
several undeveloped real estate parcels in San Jose.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of
the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.
UTILITY PLANT
The cost of additions, replacements and betterments to utility plant is
capitalized. The amount of interest capitalized in 1999, 1998 and 1997 was $414,
$378 and $290, respectively. Construction in progress was $3,602, $4,631 and
$2,693 at December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the
estimated service lives of the assets, ranging from 5 to 75 years. The cost of
utility plant retired, including retirement costs (less salvage), is charged to
accumulated depreciation and no gain or loss is recognized.
Rate-regulated enterprises are required to charge a regulatory asset to
earnings if and when that asset no longer meets the criteria for being recorded
as a regulatory asset.
INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible assets consist of leasehold acquisition cost for the City of
Cupertino municipal water system and other intangibles associated with the
operation of San Jose Water Company. All intangible assets are recorded at cost
and are amortized using the straight-line method over the legal or estimated
economic life of the asset, whichever is shorter, not to exceed 40 years.
26
27
NONUTILITY PROPERTY
Nonutility property is recorded at cost and consists primarily of land,
buildings and parking facilities. Depreciation is computed using accelerated
depreciation methods over the estimated useful lives of the assets, ranging from
5 to 39 years.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Cash and equivalents include certain highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash equivalents are stated
at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value.
INVESTMENT IN CALIFORNIA WATER SERVICE GROUP AND COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
SJW Corp.'s investment in California Water Service Group is reported at quoted
market price, with the unrealized gain or loss reported as other comprehensive
income. The accumulated balance of other comprehensive income is reported in the
equity section of the financial statements.
OTHER ASSETS
Debt reacquisition costs are amortized over the term of the new debt. Debt
issuance costs are amortized over the life of each issue. The excess cost over
fair market value of net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill and amortized
over the periods estimated to be benefited, not exceeding 40 years. Management
periodically evaluates the recoverability of goodwill by assessing whether the
amortization of the balance over the remaining life can be recovered through
expected and undiscounted future results to determine if an impairment has
occurred.
INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Deferred
tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the effect of temporary
differences between financial and tax reporting. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates applicable to future years.
To the extent that the tax benefits of the temporary differences have
previously been passed through to customers through lower water rates,
management anticipates that the payment of the future tax liabilities resulting
from the reversal of the temporary differences will be recoverable through
rates. Therefore, a regulatory asset has been recorded for the portion of net
deferred tax liabilities which are expected to be recovered through future
rates. Although realization is not assured, management believes it is more
likely than not that all of the regulatory asset will be realized.
27
28
To the extent permitted by the CPUC, investment tax credits resulting
from utility plant additions are deferred and amortized over the estimated
useful lives of the related property.
ADVANCES FOR CONSTRUCTION AND CONTRIBUTIONS IN AID OF CONSTRUCTION
Advances for construction received after 1981 are being refunded ratably over 40
years. Prior customer advances are refunded based on 22% of related revenues.
Estimated refunds for 2000 are $1,635.
Contributions in aid of construction represent funds received from
developers that are not refundable under CPUC regulations. Depreciation
applicable to utility plant constructed with these contributions is charged to
contributions in aid of construction.
Customer advances and contributions in aid of construction received
subsequent to 1986 and prior to June 12, 1996 generally must be included in
federal taxable income. Taxes paid relating to advances and contributions are
recorded as deferred tax assets for financial reporting purposes and are
amortized over 40 years for advances, and over the tax depreciable life of the
related asset for contributions. Receipts subsequent to June 12, 1996 are
generally exempt from federal taxable income.
Advances and contributions received subsequent to 1991 and prior to 1997
are included in state taxable income.
REVENUE
Revenue of San Jose Water Company includes amounts billed to customers and
unbilled amounts based on estimated usage from the latest meter reading to the
end of the year.
Included in 1997's operating revenue is $890 relating to recovery of
prior years' net revenue lost due to voluntary conservation programs. 1999, 1998
and 1997 operating revenue includes $2,392, $2,078 and $463, respectively, from
the lease operation of the City of Cupertino.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share and comprehensive income per share are calculated using
income available to common shareholders and comprehensive income, respectively,
divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the year.
SJW Corp. has no dilutive securities, and accordingly, diluted earnings per
share is not shown.
BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION
SJW Corp. and its subsidiaries operate predominantly in one reportable business
segment of providing water utility service to its customers. Nonutility revenue,
assets and net income do not have a material effect on SJW Corp.'s financial
condition and results of operations.

NOTE 2
CAPITALIZATION
At December 31, 1999 and 1998, 176,407 shares of $25 par value preferred stock

In 1999 and 1998, SJW Corp. repurchased 122,400 and 2,800 shares,
respectively, of its outstanding common stock at the prevailing market price in
the open market at an aggregate cost of $7,111 and $158, respectively. All
repurchased shares have been canceled and are considered authorized and
unissued.
NOTE 3
LINE OF CREDIT
SJW Corp. and its subsidiaries have unsecured bank lines of credit available,
allowing aggregate short-term borrowings of up to $28,000. These lines of credit
bear interest at variable rates and expire on May 31, 2001. The weighted average
interest rate for the short-term borrowings at December 31, 1999 was 6.2%.
NOTE 4
GAIN ON SALE OF NONUTILITY PROPERTY
In December 1999, SJW Corp. sold nonutility property to a company partially
owned by a director, receiving consideration of $5,230 in cash. The transaction
resulted in a gain of $3,064, net of income tax expense of $2,107. The
transaction was negotiated at arms length supported by independent appraisals.
In June 1998, SJW Corp. recognized a gain of $1,629, net of income taxes
of $1,132, from the sale of nonutility property, receiving as consideration a
nonutility investment property with a fair value of $3,595.

Senior notes held by institutional investors, are unsecured obligations
of San Jose Water Company and require interest only payments until maturity. To
minimize issuance costs, all of the company's debt has historically been
privately placed. The fair value of long-term debt as of December 31, 1999 and
1998 was approximately $100,707 and $118,600, respectively, based on the amount
of essentially risk-free assets that would have to be placed in trust to
extinguish these obligations.

COMMITMENTS
San Jose Water Company purchases water from Santa Clara Valley Water District
(SCVWD). Delivery schedules for purchased water are based on a contract year
beginning July 1, and are negotiated every three years under terms of a master
contract with SCVWD expiring in 2051. Based on current prices and estimated
deliveries, San Jose Water Company expects to purchase a minimum of 90% of the
delivery schedule, or $21,800 of water, from SCVWD in the contract year ending
June 30, 2000.
In 1997, San Jose Water Company entered into a 25-year lease agreement
with the City of Cupertino to operate the City's municipal water system. Under
the terms of the lease agreement, San Jose Water Company assumed responsibility
for all maintenance, operating and capital costs, while receiving all payments
for water service. Water service rates will be subject to approval by the
Cupertino City Council.
NOTE 8
JOINT VENTURE
In September, 1999, SJW Land Company formed 444 West Santa Clara Street, L.P., a
limited partnership, with a real estate development firm whereby SJW Land
contributed real property in exchange for a 70% limited partnership interest. An
office building is being developed on the property. The real estate development
firm is partially owned by an individual who also serves as a director of SJW
Corp. The partnership is being accounted for under the equity method of
accounting.
NOTE 9
EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
PENSION PLANS
San Jose Water Company sponsors noncontributory defined benefit pension plans.
Benefits under the plans are based on an employee's years of service and highest
consecutive three years of compensation. Company policy is to contribute the net
periodic pension cost to the extent it is tax deductible.
San Jose Water Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan,
which is a defined benefit plan under which the company will pay supplemental
pension benefits to key executives in addition to the amounts received under the
retirement plan. The annual cost of this plan has been included in the
determination of the net periodic benefit cost shown below. The plan, which is
unfunded, had a projected benefit obligation of $2,120, $1,721, $1,713 and as of
December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively, and net periodic pension cost of
$290, $196 and $222, for 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
32
33
DEFERRAL PLAN
San Jose Water Company sponsors a salary deferral plan which allows employees to
defer and contribute a portion of their earnings to the plan. Contributions, not
to exceed set limits, are matched by the company. Company contributions were
$596, $433 and $421, in 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
In addition to providing pension and savings benefits, San Jose Water Company
provides health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees. In 1997,
the plan was changed to a flat dollar plan which is unaffected by variations in
health care costs.
Net periodic cost for the defined benefit plans and other postretirement
benefits was:
