SJW CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

MARCH 31, 2011

(in thousands, except share and per share data)


Note 1.	General

In the opinion of SJW Corp., the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. These adjustments consist only of normal recurring adjustments.

The unaudited interim financial information has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in SJW Corp.’s 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be read with the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

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

Basic earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders, divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. The two-class method in computing basic earnings per share is not used because the number of participating securities as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Topic 260 - “Earning Per Share” is not significant. (The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for each class of common stock and participating security.) Diluted earnings per share is calculated using income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares of common stock including both shares outstanding and shares potentially issuable in connection with stock options, deferred restricted common stock awards under SJW Corp.’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (as amended, the “Incentive Plan”) and shares potentially issuable under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, 239 and 2,433 anti-dilutive restricted common stock units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share calculation, respectively.

The Company reclassified $2,538 of costs incurred to support the delivery of water from other operating expense to production costs and $1,930 from other operating expense to administrative and general related to customer service costs. In addition, the Company reclassified income taxes out of operating expense to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications impacted total production costs, total operating expense and operating income. The Company believes these reclassifications provide investors with better operating information and are in line with current practices of other water companies and California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) guidance.


Note 2.	Long-Term Incentive Plan and Share-Based Compensation

Common stock

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

The Incentive Plan allows SJW Corp. to provide employees, non-employee board members or the board of directors of any parent or subsidiary, consultants, and other independent advisors who provide services to the company or any parent or subsidiary the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in SJW Corp. The types of awards included in the Incentive Plan are restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance shares, or other share-based awards. In addition, shares are issued under an ESPP. As of March 31, 2011, the remaining shares available for issuance under the Incentive Plan were 1,196,102, and 369,333 shares are issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, restricted stock units, and deferred restricted stock units under the Incentive Plan.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS—(Continued)

MARCH 31, 2011

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

The compensation costs charged to income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. A summary of compensation costs charged to income, proceeds from the exercise of stock options and similar instruments, and the tax benefit realized from stock options and similar instruments exercised, that are recorded to additional paid-in capital and common stock, by award type, are presented below for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.



	THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,
	2011		2010
Compensation costs charged to income:
ESPP	$	45	46

Proceeds from the exercise of stock options and similar instruments:

ESPP	254		258
Total proceeds from the exercise of stock options and similar instruments	$	254	290

Stock Options

No options were granted during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.

As of March 31, 2011, there were no unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options.

Restricted Stock and Deferred Restricted Stock

On January 3, 2011, restricted stock units covering an aggregate of 13,631 shares of common stock of SJW Corp. were granted to several executives of SJW Corp. and its subsidiaries. The units vest in four equal successive installments upon completion of each year of service with no dividend equivalent rights. Share-based compensation expense is being recognized at grant date fair value of $23.70 per unit over the vesting period beginning in 2011.

On January 25, 2011, market performance-vesting restricted stock units granted to a key executive of SJW Corp. on April 30, 2008 covering 7,000 shares of common stock of SJW Corp. were canceled because the market performance objective was not attained. However, since the requisite service over the three-year service period of the award was rendered, even though the market condition was not achieved, compensation cost over the three-year requisite service period was not reversed.

As of March 31, 2011, the total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted and deferred restricted stock plans amounted to $1,233. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.07 years.

Dividend Equivalent Rights

Under the Incentive Plan, certain holders of options, restricted stock, and deferred restricted stock awards may have the right to receive dividend equivalent rights (“DERs”) each time a dividend is paid on common stock after the grant date. Stock compensation on DERs is recognized as a liability and recorded against retained earnings on the date dividends are issued. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, $32 and $31, respectively, related to DERs were recorded against retained earnings and were accrued as a liability.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

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

After considering estimated employee terminations or withdrawals from the plan before the purchase date, SJW Corp.’s recorded expenses were $15 in each of the three-month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, related to the ESPP.

The total unrecognized compensation costs related to the semi-annual offering period that ends July 31, 2011 for the ESPP is approximately $29. This cost is expected to be recognized during the second and third quarters of 2011.


Note 3.	Real Estate Investments

General:

SJW Corp. is a holding company with four subsidiaries.

San Jose Water Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of SJW Corp., is a public utility in the business of providing water service to approximately 226,000 connections that serve a population of approximately one million people in an area comprising approximately 138 square miles in the metropolitan San Jose, California area.

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

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

San Jose Water Company also has approximately 700 acres of nonutility property which has been identified as no longer used and useful in providing utility services. Approximately 15 acres of the nonutility property are developable and located in the vicinity of the San Jose metropolitan area. The remaining properties are located in the hillside area adjacent to San Jose Water Company’s watershed properties.

SJW Land Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of SJW Corp., owned the following real properties as of March 31, 2011:

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

SJWTX, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SJW Corp., doing business as Canyon Lake Water Service Company (“CLWSC”), is a public utility in the business of providing water service to approximately 9,300 connections that serve approximately 36,000 people. CLWSC’s service area comprises more than 237 square miles in western Comal County and southern Blanco County in the growing region between San Antonio and Austin, Texas.

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

In addition, SJW Corp. also owns 192,560 shares of common stock of California Water Service Group, which represents approximately 1% of that company’s outstanding shares of common stock as of March 31, 2011.

Business Strategy:

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


(1)	Regional regulated water utility operations.


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


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

As part of its pursuit of the above three strategic areas, the Company considers from time to time opportunities to acquire businesses and assets. However, SJW Corp. cannot be certain it will be successful in identifying and consummating any strategic business acquisitions relating to such opportunities. In addition, any transaction will involve numerous risks, including the possibility of incurring more costs than benefits derived from the acquisition, the assumption of certain known and unknown liabilities related to the acquired assets, the diversion of management’s attention from day-to-day operations of the business, the potential for a negative impact on SJW Corp.’s financial position and operating results, entering markets in which SJW Corp. has no or limited direct prior experience and the potential loss of key employees of any acquired company. SJW Corp. cannot be certain that any transaction will be successful and will not materially harm its operating results or financial condition.

SJW Corp.’s real estate investment activity is conducted through SJW Land Company. SJW Land Company owns undeveloped land and owns and operates a portfolio of commercial buildings in the states of California, Florida, Connecticut, Texas, Arizona and Tennessee. SJW Land Company also owns a limited partnership interest in 444 West Santa Clara Street, L.P. The partnership owns a commercial building in San Jose, California. SJW Land Company implements its investment strategy by acquiring properties or exchanging properties for similar investments in tax-free exchanges. SJW Land Company’s real estate investments diversify SJW Corp.’s asset base.

Critical Accounting Policies:

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

Revenue Recognition

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

Metered revenue of Water Utility Services includes billing to customers based on meter readings plus an estimate of water used between the customers’ last meter reading and the end of the accounting period. Water Utility Services read the majority of its customers’ meters on a bi-monthly basis and records its revenue based on its meter reading results. Unbilled revenue from the last meter reading date to the end of the accounting period is estimated based on the most recent usage patterns, production records and the effective tariff rates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, which may result in an adjustment to the operating revenue in the period which the revision to Water Utility Services’ estimates is determined. As of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, accrued unbilled revenue was $13,108 and $12,717, respectively.

Revenues also include a surcharge collected from regulated customers that is paid to the CPUC. This surcharge is recorded both in operating revenues and administrative and general expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, the surcharge was $581 and $601, respectively.

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

Recognition of Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

Generally accepted accounting principles for water utilities include the recognition of regulatory assets and liabilities as permitted by FASB ASC Topic 980 - “Regulated Operations.” In accordance with ASC Topic 980, Water Utility Services, to the extent applicable, records deferred costs and credits on the balance sheet as regulatory assets and liabilities when it is probable that these costs and credits will be recognized in the ratemaking process in a period different from when the costs and credits are incurred. Accounting for such costs and credits is based on management’s judgment and prior historical ratemaking practices, and it occurs when management determines that it is probable that these costs and credits will be recognized in the future revenue of Water Utility Services through the ratemaking process. The regulatory assets and liabilities recorded by Water Utility Services, in particular, San Jose Water Company, primarily relate to the recognition of deferred income taxes for ratemaking versus tax accounting purposes and the postretirement pension benefits, medical costs, accrued benefits for vacation and asset retirement obligations that have not been passed through in rates. The disallowance of any asset in future ratemaking, including deferred regulatory assets, would require San Jose Water Company to immediately recognize the impact of the costs for financial reporting purposes. No disallowance was recognized as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010. Net regulatory assets recorded by San Jose Water Company as of March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were $87,721 and $87,721, respectively.

Pension Plan Accounting

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

Plan assets are marked to market at each measurement date. The investment trust assets incur unrealized market gains or losses from time to time. Both unrealized market gains and losses on pension assets are amortized over 12.78 years for actuarial expense calculation purposes.

Income Taxes

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

Balancing and Memorandum Accounts

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

Balancing accounts are currently being maintained for the following items: purchased water, purchased power and groundwater extraction charges. The amount in the balancing account varies with the seasonality of the water utility business such that, during the summer months when the demand for water is at its peak, the account tends to reflect an under-collection while, during the winter months when demand for water is relatively lower, the account tends to reflect an over-collection. In addition, San Jose Water Company maintains balancing accounts for pensions and other approved activities.

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

San Jose Water Company also maintains memorandum accounts to track revenue impacts due to catastrophic events, mandatory conservation, unforeseen water quality expenses related to new federal and state water quality standards, energy efficiency and recovery of capital improvement costs. Rate recovery for these memorandum accounts are generally allowed in the next general rate cases.

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

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

Results of Operations:

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

Overview

SJW Corp.’s consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was $610, a decrease of $375, or approximately 38%, from $985 in the first quarter of 2010. Revenue increased $3,285 due to cumulative rate increases of $2,357, $628 in higher customer water usage and new customers compared to a year ago and $300 in higher revenue from real estate operations. The increase in revenue was offset by higher production costs as a result of decreased use of available surface water, an increase in depreciation expense due to increased depreciable assets and an increase in interest expense due to the issuance of $50,000 in California Pollution Control Financing Authority revenue bonds in June 2010.

Sources of Water Supply

San Jose Water Company’s water supply consists of groundwater from wells, surface water from watershed run-off and diversion, reclaimed water and imported water purchased from the SCVWD under the terms of a master contract with SCVWD expiring in 2051.

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

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



	THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31,		Increase/ (decrease)		% Change
	2011	2010	Increase/ (decrease)		% Change
Purchased water	3,911	3,037	874		11	%
Groundwater	2,914	3,216	(302	)	(4	)%
Surface water	872	1,411	(539	)	(7	)%
Reclaimed water	18	25	(7	)	—	%
	7,715	7,689	26		—	%

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

Unaccounted-for water on a 12 month-to-date basis for March 31, 2011 and 2010 approximated 7.26% and 7.49%, respectively, as a percentage of total production. The estimate is based on the results of past experience and current trends, and efforts to reduce Water Utility Services’ unaccounted-for water through main replacements and lost water reduction programs.

Water production costs

For the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to 2010, the increase in water production costs was primarily attributable to an increase in the use of purchased water. This resulted from a decrease in the use of available surface water supply due to inclement weather conditions which impacted our ability to treat available surface water. We expect the use of surface water will increase as weather conditions become more favorable.

Other Operating Expenses

Operating expenses, excluding water production costs, increased $1,987 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $683 in depreciation expense due to increased depreciable assets, $648 increase in administrative and general expenses primarily due to an increase in legal fees and wages, $384 increase in property taxes and other non-income taxes and $272 increase in maintenance expenses due to an increase in contract and paving costs as a result of an increase in main leak repairs.

Provision for Income Taxes

Income tax expense decreased $249 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 as a result of lower pre-tax income.

Other Comprehensive (Loss)/Income

The change in other comprehensive (loss)/income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 was due to the changes in market value of the investment in California Water Service Group.

Water Supply

On March 28, 2011, SCVWD’s 10 reservoirs were approximately 80% full with 136,036 acre-feet of water in storage. As reported by SCVWD, the rainfall from July 1, 2009 to March 28, 2011 was approximately 118% of the seasonal average to date. As of March 31, 2011, San Jose Water Company’s Lake Elsman contained 2,005 million gallons of which approximately 1,805 million gallons can be utilized. In addition, the rainfall at San Jose Water Company’s Lake Elsman was measured at 53.14 inches for the season commencing from July 1, 2010 through March 31, 2011, which is approximately 136% of the five-year average. Local surface water is a less costly source of water than groundwater or purchased water and its availability significantly impacts San Jose Water Company’s results of operations. San Jose Water Company believes that its various sources of water supply will be sufficient to meet customer demand through the remainder of 2011.

On December 15, 2008, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a new Biological Opinion (“BiOp”) and Incidental Take Statement for the Central Valley Project (“CVP”) and the State Water Project (“SWP”) on the Delta smelt. The operating requirements of BiOp replaced the interim remedy ordered by Federal Judge Oliver Wanger in December 2007. The BiOp prescribes a range of operational criteria that are determined based on hydrology, fish distribution, abundance and other factors. Under a “most likely” scenario, the California Department of Water Resources and United States Bureau of Reclamation estimate that SWP and CVP supplies to SCVWD could be reduced by approximately 17% to 18% of the supply amount they currently receive. Under a “worst case” BiOp scenario, SWP and CVP supplies to SCVWD could be reduced by approximately 32% to 33% of the current supply amount they receive. In addition, while there is some overlap with the California Fish & Game Commission’s restrictions to protect longfin smelt, the longfin pumping restrictions, if triggered, could cause significant supply impacts beyond those estimated to comply with Delta smelt requirements.

On March 24, 2009, the SCVWD board of directors passed a resolution calling for a mandatory 15% reduction in water use for the remainder of the calendar year 2009. On December 8, 2009, this call for conservation was further extended through June 2010. To effect water restrictions, SCVWD worked with other political subdivisions that possess the authority to enact and enforce drought ordinances in order to effect such restrictions. San Jose Water Company worked with the CPUC to develop its water conservation plan to comply with the call for a 15% reduction in water use. The CPUC approved the plan, which became effective on August 12, 2009 and remained in effect through June 2010.

On July 13, 2010, the SCVWD board of directors passed a resolution calling for a three-month, 10% mandatory water conservation through September 30, 2010. On August 31, 2010, the SCVWD board of directors held a special work study session, which included retailers and municipalities, to discuss tiered rates and the effect on water conservation.

On September 28, 2010, the SCVWD board of directors voted to end mandatory conservation, but continued to request a voluntary 10% conservation through June 30, 2011.

Regulation and Rates

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

On June 2, 2010, San Jose Water Company filed an advice letter with the CPUC requesting authorization to increase revenues by $5,740 or approximately 2.61%. This increase is intended to recover the accumulated balance in the MCRAM, which was in effect from August 3, 2009 to May 1, 2010. The CPUC authorized MCRAM is intended to track the revenue impact of mandatory conservation upon San Jose Water Company’s quantity revenue resulting from mandatory conservation instituted by the SCVWD. As directed by the CPUC’s Division of Water and Audits, the MCRAM would be recovered via a surcharge on the existing quantity rate for a period of 12 months following final approval by the CPUC. All revenue would be recognized immediately after final approval by the CPUC. On November 29, 2010, the CPUC’s Division of Water and Audits rejected the requested revenue increase without prejudice, claiming that the request should be submitted on a Petition for Modification of an earlier decision. On December 7, 2010, San Jose Water Company filed a Request for Review of the Rejection. On April 29, 2011, the CPUC’s Division of Water and Audits issued draft Resolution W-4875 that would have the CPUC affirm the rejection of the requested revenue increase. The draft Resolution sets a deadline for submitting comments on or before June 15, 2011. San Jose Water Company anticipates filing comments on the draft Resolution prior to the scheduled deadline. The draft Resolution is preliminarily set to be on the June 23, 2011 Commission meeting agenda, where the Commission will vote to adopt or deny the draft Resolution.

On September 30, 2010, San Jose Water Company, in compliance with Commission Decision 09-11-032, requested the CPUC’s approval of upgrades to San Jose Water Company’s 40-year old Montevina Water Treatment Plant (“MWTP”). The

MWTP treats surface water from the local watershed by direct media filtration and chlorine disinfection. Over the past 40 years, state and federal drinking water regulations have changed significantly in areas that the MWTP was not designed to address. The MWTP has aging infrastructure and many of its components are out-dated and at the end of their useful lives. In addition, the concrete structures do not meet current structural and seismic requirements. The total planned project cost is $73,700 over five years, with the project commencing in late 2011. San Jose Water Company’s application is requesting revenue increases of $490 or 0.22% in 2011, $1,861 or 0.85% in 2012, $7,700 or 3.50% in 2013, $3,547 or 1.61% in 2014 and $843 or 0.38% in 2015 (all at the current authorized rate of return). A decision on the application is expected sometime in the second half of 2011.

On December 22, 2010, San Jose Water Company, in compliance with Commission Decision 09-11-032, filed an advice letter with the CPUC requesting authorization to increase revenues by $427 or 0.19% via a rate base offset for the recent replacement of the Greenridge Terrace Tank #2. This request was approved and the rates became effective on January 26, 2011.

On August 27, 2010, CLWSC filed a rate case with the TCEQ. The filing contained a request for an initial increase in revenue of 38% followed by a 33% increase scheduled for 2011. The 38% increase became effective, subject to refund, on October 27, 2010. Following an agreement between CLWSC and the Coalition for Equitable Water Rates, an agreement was reached in February 2011 not to implement the second phase of the rate increase until the proceeding has been completed, which is expected sometime during the first quarter of 2012. The ultimate rate increase approved by the TCEQ will then become effective retroactively back to February 2011, and any revenue shortfall will be recovered through a surcharge.

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

Cash Flow from Operations

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, SJW Corp. generated cash flow from operations of approximately $11,500, compared to $11,000 in 2010. Cash flow from operations is primarily generated by net income from its revenue producing activities, adjusted for non-cash expenses for depreciation and amortization, deferred income taxes and changes in working capital items. Cash flow from operations increased by approximately $500. This increase was caused by a combination of the following factors: (1) net income adjusted for non-cash items and loss from asset activity increased $3,400, (2) improved collection of accounts receivable drove an increase of $1,000, (3) general working capital changes caused a $600 decrease, and (4) changes in accrued taxes were $3,300 greater than the prior period.

As of March 31, 2011, Water Utility Services’ write-offs for uncollectible accounts represent less than 1% of its total revenue, unchanged from March 31, 2010. Management believes it can continue to collect its accounts receivable balances at its historical collection rate.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2011, SJW Corp. used approximately $12,100 of cash for company funded capital expenditures, $700 for developer funded capital expenditures, and $1,100 for acquisitions.

Water Utility Services’ budgeted capital expenditures for 2011, exclusive of capital expenditures financed by customer contributions and advances, are $69,958. Historically, amounts have been carried over from previous years’ budgets. Approximately $10,600 has been carried over from prior years’ budget and is included in the amount above. As of March 31, 2011, $12,122 or 17% of the $69,958 has been spent.

Water Utility Services’ capital expenditures are incurred in connection with normal upgrading and expansion of existing facilities and to comply with environmental regulations. Over the next five years, Water Utility Services expects to incur approximately $469,000 in capital expenditures, which includes replacement of pipes and mains, and maintaining water systems. Capital expenditures have the effect of increasing utility plant on which Water Utility Services earns a return. Water Utility Services actual capital expenditures may vary from their projections due to changes in the expected demand for services, weather patterns, actions by governmental agencies, and general economic conditions. Total additions to utility plant normally exceed company-financed additions as a result of new facilities construction funded with advances from developers and contributions in aid of construction.

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

Cash Flow from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2011 decreased by approximately $2,800 from the same period in the prior year. The decrease was primarily due to a $3,400 decrease in new borrowings on the line of credit and a decrease in repayments of $1,900. In addition, the Company received $1,200 less in cash from advances and contributions in aid of construction compared to the same period in the prior year.

Sources of Capital:

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

San Jose Water Company’s financing activity is designed to achieve a capital structure consistent with regulatory guidelines of approximately 48% debt and 52% equity (book value). As of March 31, 2011, San Jose Water Company’s funded debt and equity were approximately 54% and 46%, respectively.

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

San Jose Water Company’s unsecured senior note agreements generally have terms and conditions that restrict San Jose Water Company from issuing additional funded debt if: (1) the funded debt would exceed 66-2/3% of total capitalization, and (2) net income available for interest charges for the trailing 12-calendar-month period would be less than 175% of interest charges. As of March 31, 2011, San Jose Water Company’s funded debt was 54% of total capitalization and the net income available for interest charges was 288% of interest charges. As of March 31, 2011, San Jose Water Company is not restricted from issuing future indebtedness as a result of these terms and conditions.

San Jose Water Company’s loan agreement with the California Pollution Control Financing Authority contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for a loan agreement relating to revenue bonds, including, among other things, complying with certain disclosure obligations and covenants relating to the tax exempt status of the interest on the bonds and limitations and prohibitions relating to the transfer of projects funded by the loan proceeds and the assignment of the loan agreement. As of March 31, 2011, San Jose Water Company was in compliance with all such covenants.

SJWTX, Inc.’s unsecured senior note agreement has SJW Corp. as a guarantor of the senior note which has terms and conditions that restrict SJW Corp. from issuing additional funded debt if: (1) the funded consolidated debt would exceed 66-2/3% of total capitalization, and (2) the minimum net worth of SJW Corp. becomes less than $125,000 plus 30% of Water Utility Services cumulative net income, since December 31, 2005. As of March 31, 2011, SJW Corp. is not restricted from issuing future indebtedness as a result of these terms and conditions.

SJW Corp. and its subsidiaries have unsecured bank lines of credit, allowing aggregate short-term borrowings of up to $95,000, of which $45,000 is available to SJW Corp. and SJW Land Company under a single line of credit and $50,000 is available to San Jose Water Company under another line of credit. $3,000 under the San Jose Water Company line of credit is set aside as security for its Safe Drinking Water State Revolving Fund loans. At March 31, 2011, SJW Corp. and its subsidiaries had available unused short-term bank lines of credit of $80,500. These lines of credit bear interest at variable rates. They will expire on June 1, 2012. The cost of borrowing on SJW Corp.’s short-term credit facilities averaged 1.75% for the first three months of 2011. SJW Corp., on a consolidated basis, has the following affirmative covenants on its unsecured bank line of credit: (1) the funded debt cannot exceed 60% of total capitalization, and (2) net income available for interest charges for the trailing 12-calendar-month period cannot be less than 200% of interest charges. As of March 31, 2011, SJW Corp.’s funded debt was 54% of total capitalization and the net income available for interest charges was 322% of interest charges. As such, as of March 31, 2011, SJW Corp. was in compliance with all covenants. San Jose Water Company’s unsecured bank line of credit has the following affirmative covenants: (1) the funded debt cannot exceed 66-2/3% of total capitalization, and (2) net income available for interest charges for the trailing 12-calendar-month period cannot be less than 225% of interest charges. As of March 31, 2011, San Jose Water Company was in compliance with all covenants.

On February 3, 2011, SJW Corp. filed with the SEC a Form S-3 to provide stockholders the opportunity to participate in SJW Corp.’s Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan. Such filing became effective on April 19, 2011.


ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

SJW Corp. is subject to market risks in the normal course of business, including changes in interest rates, pension plan asset values, and equity prices. The exposure to changes in interest rates can result from the issuance of debt and short-term funds obtained through the Company’s variable rate lines of credit. SJW Corp. also owns 192,560 shares of common stock of California Water Service Group as of March 31, 2011, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and is therefore exposed to the risk of fluctuations and changes in equity prices.

SJW Corp. has no material derivative financial instruments, financial instruments with significant off-balance sheet risks, or financial instruments with concentrations of credit risk. There is no material sensitivity to changes in market rates and prices.


ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

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

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting during the first fiscal quarter of 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting of SJW Corp.
