MEADOW VALLEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates:
Presentation of Interim Information:
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by Meadow
Valley Corporation (we, us, our or the Company) without audit, pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and should be read in
conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007, as filed with
the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been
condensed or omitted, as permitted by the SEC, although we believe the disclosures, which are made
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Further, the condensed consolidated
financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all normal recurring adjustments
necessary to present fairly our financial position at September 30, 2008 and the results of our
operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The December 31, 2007 condensed consolidated
balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include
all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
Merger Costs:
The condensed consolidated financial statements include non-recurring adjustments related to
the accrual of expenses incurred in connection with the Companys proposed merger transaction. At
September 30, 2008, the Company had accrued and expensed
approximately $1.4 million in fees and charges related
to the proposed merger.
Seasonal Variations:
Interim results are subject to significant seasonal variations and the results of operations
for the nine months and three months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.
Nature of Corporation:
Meadow Valley Corporation was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 15,
1994. The principal business purpose of the Company is to operate as the holding company of Meadow
Valley Contractors, Inc. (MVCI) (construction services segment), Ready Mix, Inc. (RMI)
(construction materials segment) and Apex Testing Corp. (Apex) (construction materials testing
segment). MVCI is a general contractor, primarily engaged in the construction of structural
concrete highway bridges and overpasses, and the paving of highways and airport runways for various
governmental authorities, municipalities and developers in southern Nevada and Arizona. RMI
manufactures and distributes ready-mix concrete in the Las Vegas, Nevada and Phoenix, Arizona
metropolitan areas. In 2007, the Company purchased 620,212 shares of RMIs common stock, bringing
the total number of shares of RMIs common stock owned by the Company to 2,645,212 shares or
approximately 69% of RMIs 3,809,500 total shares outstanding. Apex is a construction materials
testing provider in the Las Vegas, Nevada area.
Liquidity:
The Company had income from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007
of $6,026,895 and $3,846,093, respectively, and provided cash from operating activities of
$19,132,008 and $13,120,742, respectively, for the same periods.
Revenue and Cost Recognition:
Revenues and costs from fixed-price and modified fixed-price construction contracts are
recognized for each contract on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of
costs incurred to date to the estimated total direct costs. Direct costs include, among other
things, direct labor, field labor, equipment rent, subcontracting, direct materials and direct
overhead. General and administrative expenses are accounted for as period costs and are,
therefore, not included in the calculation of the estimates to complete construction contracts in
progress. Project losses are provided for in their entirety in the period in which such losses are
determined, without
reference to the percentage-of-completion. As contracts can extend over one or more accounting
periods, revisions in costs and earnings estimated during the course of the work are reflected
during the accounting period in which the facts that required such revision become known.

MEADOW VALLEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates (Continued):
Revenue and Cost Recognition (Continued):
We recognize revenue in our construction materials segment on the sale of our concrete and
aggregate products at the time of delivery. We recognize revenue in our construction materials
testing segment for the sale of our professional services at the time services are provided.
Claims Receivable:
Claims for additional contract revenue are recognized only to the extent that contract costs
relating to the claim have been incurred and evidence provides a legal basis for the claim. As of
September 30, 2008, the total amount of contract claims filed by the Company with various public
entities was $12,002,782. Of this amount, the Companys portion of the claims total was
$8,336,931, and the balance of $3,665,851 pertains to other contractors claims.
In September 2008, the Company realized approximately $2.3 million, net in gross profit on the
settlement of claims with the Federal Highway Administration. Claims of approximately $7.1 million
were settled for $3.2 million, thereby reducing the Companys previously recorded claims receivable
from $2,463,880 to $1,729,676. Of the $3.2 million in settlement proceeds, $.2 million was paid to
subcontractors for their portion of the total claim. Since the remaining $3.0 million in proceeds
exceeded the approximately $.7 million of claims receivable the Company had recorded on the
project, the difference of $2.3 million was included in gross profit during the quarter ended
September 30, 2008.
Total claim amounts reported by the Company in its filings are approximate and are subject to
revision as final documentation, resolution of issues, settlements progress and/or payments are
received. Relative to the aforementioned claims, the Company has recorded $1,729,676 in cumulative
claims receivable as of September 30, 2008 to offset a portion of costs incurred-to-date on the
claims. All claims receivable amounts as of September 30, 2008 are classified as long-term.
The Company has not accrued a liability related to the prime contractor or subcontractors
claims as no liability would be deemed payable if their portion of the claims did not receive a
favorable outcome. Correspondingly, no receivable has been recorded for overhead and profit
included in their portion of the claims on the Companys behalf.
Although the Company believes that the claims receivable amounts represent a reasonably
conservative posture, any claim proceeds ultimately paid to the Company, less than the aggregate
amount recorded on the balance sheet of $1,729,676, will decrease earnings. Conversely, a payment
for those same items in excess of $1,729,676 will result in increased income.
A common and customary practice in construction contracts is the owners withholding of a
portion of the contract in the form of retention. Retention practices vary from contract to
contract, but in general, retention (usually somewhere between 5% to 10% of the contract) is
withheld from each progress payment by the owner and then paid upon satisfactory completion of the
contract. Contract proceeds comprising retention are included in the Companys balance sheet in
accounts receivable. The portion of accounts receivable pertaining to retention withheld on the
contracts for which claims have been filed totals $879,763 as of September 30, 2008. The degree to
which the Company is successful in prosecuting any claims may also impact the amount of retention
paid by the owner.
The Company believes that all retention amounts currently being held by the owners on the
contracts with outstanding claims will be paid in full in accordance with the contract terms.
Therefore, no allowance has been made to reduce the receivables due from the retention on the
disputed contracts.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates (Continued):
Earnings per Share:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share, (SFAS 128)
provides for the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share
includes no dilution and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share
reflect the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity.
Stock-Based Compensation:
Both the Company and RMI have stock-based compensation plans. The Company accounts for
stock-based compensation utilizing the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R. The Company
recognizes expected tax benefits related to employee stock-based compensation as awards are granted
and the incremental tax benefit or liability when related awards are deductible. The Company
recognizes these compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of
the award, which is typically three years.
The Company and RMI estimate fair value using the Black-Scholes valuation model. Assumptions
used to estimate compensation expense are determined as follows:
|
|
|
Expected term is generally determined using an average of the contractual term and
vesting period of the award;
|
|
|
|
|
Expected volatility is measured using the average of historical daily changes in the
market price of the Companys common stock over the expected term of the award;
|
|
|
|
|
Risk-free interest rate is equivalent to the implied yield on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury
bonds with a remaining maturity equal to the expected term of the awards; and
|
|
|
|
|
Forfeitures are based on the history of cancellations of awards granted by both
companies and managements analysis of potential forfeitures.
|
Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting
pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the nine months ended September 30,
2008, that are of significance, or potential significance, to us.
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161 Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires companies with derivative
instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how
and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items
are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a companys financial
position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently
evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 161 will have on our financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal
or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP 142-3 on
its financial position and results of operations.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the
framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS 162 is
effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of
Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The implementation of
this standard will not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

MEADOW VALLEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates (Continued):
Recent Accounting Pronouncements (Continued):
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-3, Accounting for Lessees for Maintenance
Deposits Under Lease Arrangements (EITF 08-3). EITF 08-3 provides guidance for accounting for
nonrefundable maintenance deposits. It also provides revenue recognition accounting guidance for
the lessor. EITF 08-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on our financial position and
results of operations.
In September 2008, the FASB issued FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4, Disclosures about Credit
Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation
No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161 (FSP 133-1 and FIN
45-4). FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 amends and enhances disclosure requirements for sellers of credit
derivatives and financial guarantees. It also clarifies that the disclosure requirements of SFAS
No. 161 are effective for quarterly periods beginning after November 15, 2008 and fiscal years that
include those periods. FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 is effective for reporting periods (annual or
interim) ending after November 15, 2008. The implementation of this standard will not have a
material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
In September 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-5, Issuers Accounting for Liabilities
Measured at Fair Value With a Third-Party Credit Enhancement (EITF 08-5). EITF 08-5 provides
guidance for measuring liabilities issued with an attached third-party credit enhancement (such as
a guarantee). It clarifies that the issuer of a liability with a third-party credit enhancement
(such as a guarantee) should not include the effect of the credit enhancement in the fair value
measurement of the liability. EITF 08-5 is effective for the first reporting period beginning
after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 08-5 on its
financial position and results of operations.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-3 Determining Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a
Market That Is Not Active (FSP 157-3). FSP 157-3 clarified the application of SFAS No. 157 in
an inactive market. It demonstrated how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the
market for that financial asset is inactive. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including
prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The implementation of this
standard did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
2. Agreement and Plan of Merger:
On July 28, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger (Agreement) with
affiliates of Insight Equity I LP (Insight). Pursuant to the Agreement, each issued and
outstanding share of the Companys common stock, par value $0.001 per share, will be converted into
the right to receive a cash payment in the amount of $11.25 per share, without interest. Upon
closing of the transaction, the Company will no longer be publicly traded. The closing is subject
to a number of closing conditions, including the approval of the Companys stockholders.
In accordance with the Agreement, the Special Committee of the Companys Board of Directors,
with the assistance of its financial and legal advisors, conducted a market test for 45 days by
soliciting superior proposals from other parties. The solicitation of proposals resulted in no
superior proposals or alternative transactions.
The Company filed its preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A and other materials with the
SEC on September 19, 2008 pursuant to the Agreement. The Company amended its proxy statement on
October 27, 2008 and November 19, 2008 in response to SEC review comments. Following completion of
the SECs review of these filings, the Company intends to promptly file a definitive proxy
statement and schedule a special meeting of shareholders to consider and vote on the agreement.

MEADOW VALLEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2. Agreement and Plan of Merger (Continued):
The Agreement provides for termination rights for both parties and certain termination rights
require the payment of fees and expenses in specific instances. The Company may be required to pay
from $500,000 up to 4.5% of the aggregate merger consideration plus, in each case, all of Insights
documented expenses related to this transaction if the Agreement is terminated in certain
instances.
On July 28, 2008, the Company announced the merger to the public by issuing a press release
dated July 28, 2008 and by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC with the Agreement,
press release, and a letter to the Companys employees dated July 28, 2008 attached as exhibits.
All of these documents are available on the Companys Internet site http://www.meadowvalley.com,
however, the information on the Companys Internet site is not incorporated into this report.
3. Stock-Based Compensation:
The Company and RMI both have individual stock-based compensation plans. Meadow Valley
Corporations accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and these related notes to
financial statements have been presented on a consolidated basis and therefore include RMIs
stock-based compensation information. The information below is presented to show disclosures
related to both the Companys and RMIs individual stock-based compensation plans. Under the
sub-heading Meadow Valley Corporation of this note, information is only for the Companys plan,
with the exception of information presented that is directly related to the consolidation of the
accompanying financial statements, which information is identified as consolidated. Under the
sub-heading Ready Mix, Inc. of this note, information is only for RMIs plan.
Meadow Valley Corporation:
The Company accounts for stock-based compensation utilizing the fair value recognition
provisions of SFAS 123R. The Company recognizes expected tax benefits related to employee
stock-based compensation as awards are granted and the incremental tax benefit or liability when
related awards are deductible.
As of September 30, 2008, the Company has the following stock-based compensation plan:
Equity Incentive Plan
In 2004, the Company adopted the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2004 Plan). The 2004 Plan
permits the granting of any or all of the following types of awards: (1) incentive and nonqualified
stock options, (2) stock appreciation rights, (3) stock awards, restricted stock and stock units,
and (4) other stock or cash-based awards. In connection with any award or any deferred award,
payments may also be made representing dividends or their equivalent.
The 2004 Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,200,000 shares of the Companys common stock,
all of which were previously reserved for issuance under the Companys prior plan. Shares of common
stock covered by an award granted under the 2004 Plan will not be counted as used unless and until
they are actually issued and delivered to a participant. As of September 30, 2008, 141,217
shares of the Companys common stock were available for future grant under the 2004 Plan. The
stock options granted under the 2004 Plan have terms from five to ten years and generally may be
exercised after issuance as follows: 33.3% after one year of continuous service, 66.6% after two
years of continuous service and 100% after three years of continuous service. The exercise price
of each option is no less than the market price of the Companys common stock on the date of the
grant. The Companys board of directors has full discretion to modify these terms on a grant by
grant basis.

the exercise price of the underlying awards and the closing price of the
Companys common stock as of September 30, 2008, for those awards that have an
exercise price currently below the closing price as of September 30, 2008. Awards
with an exercise price above the closing price as of September 30, 2008 are
considered to have no intrinsic value.

3. Stock-Based Compensation (Continued):
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company recognized consolidated
stock-based compensation expense of $333,290 and $521,703, respectively, of which $143,836 and
$307,361, respectively, was related to RMIs stock-based compensation plan, and the Company
recognized a tax benefit of $0 and $86,085, respectively, related thereto. As of September 30,
2008, there was $141,120 of total unrecognized compensation cost, net of $19,541 attributable to
estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested stock options granted under the 2004 Plan. That cost
is expected to be recognized over the weighted average period of 1.15 years. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2008, options to purchase 6,068 shares of the Companys common stock
expired unexercised with a weighted average grant date fair value per share of $1.37 and an
aggregate grant date fair value of $8,324.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, options to purchase 32,250 and
35,098 shares of the Companys common stock, respectively, were exercised with aggregate intrinsic
values of $133,286 and $313,222, respectively. Also during the nine months ended September 30,
2008 and 2007, the Company received proceeds of $173,473 and $91,911, respectively, as a result of
the exercise of options to pur
c
hase the Companys common stock.
Ready Mix, Inc.:
RMI accounts for stock based compensation utilizing the fair value recognition provisions of
SFAS 123R. RMI recognizes expected tax benefits related to employee stock-based compensation as
awards are granted and the incremental tax benefit or liability when related awards are deductible.
As of September 30, 2008, RMI has the following stock-based compensation plan:
Equity Incentive Plan:
In 2005, RMI adopted the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2005 RMI Plan). The 2005 RMI Plan
permits the granting of any or all of the following types of awards: (1) incentive and nonqualified
stock options, (2) stock appreciation rights, (3) stock awards, restricted stock and stock units,
and (4) other stock or cash-based awards. In connection with any award or any deferred award,
payments may also be made representing dividends or their equivalent.
As of September 30, 2008, RMI had reserved 673,000 shares of RMIs common stock for issuance
under the 2005 RMI Plan. Shares of RMIs common stock covered by an award granted under the 2005
RMI Plan will not be counted as used unless and until RMIs common stock is actually issued and
delivered to a participant. As of September 30, 2008, 293,875 shares of RMIs common stock were
available for future grant under the 2005 RMI Plan. The term of the stock options granted under the
2005 RMI Plan is five years and typically may be exercised after issuance as follows: 33.3% after
one year of continuous service, 66.6% after two years of continuous service and 100% after three
years of continuous service. The exercise price of each option is no less than the closing market
price of RMIs common stock on the date of grant. RMIs board of directors has full discretion to
modify these terms on a grant by grant basis.
RMI uses the Black Scholes option pricing model to estimate fair value of stock-based awards
with the following assumptions for the indicated periods:

5. Lines of Credit:
In October 2007, the Company amended and restated its line of credit agreements. The Company
combined a $3.0 million line of credit and an approximately $2.0 million line of credit into a
single $10.0 million line of credit for MVCI with an interest rate at Chase Manhattan Banks prime
rate, plus .25%. The interest rate as of September 30, 2008 was 5.25%. The balance outstanding on
the line of credit as of September 30, 2008 was $265,669 and is reported in Note 4 Notes Payable
of these notes to condensed consolidated financial statements. The loan agreement allows interest
only payments until January 31, 2009. Beginning February 1, 2009, the line of credit converts into
a term agreement requiring equal monthly principal plus interest payments through January 31, 2012
and is collateralized by all of MVCIs and the Companys assets. Under the terms of the loan
agreement, the Company and/or MVCI are required to maintain a certain level of tangible net worth,
a ratio of total debt to tangible net worth as well as a minimum cash flow to debt ratio. The
Company is also required to maintain a certain level of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation
and amortization (EBITDA). MVCI is also required to maintain a certain level of cash flow to
current portion of long term debt. As of September 30, 2008, the Company and MVCI were in
compliance with these covenants.
As of September 30, 2008, the Company had a $5.0 million line of credit loan agreement for
RMI, with an interest rate at Chase Manhattan Banks prime rate, plus .25%. The interest rate as
of September 30, 2008 was 5.25%. The balance outstanding on the line of credit as of September 30,
2008 was $660,844 and is reported in Note 4 Notes Payable of these notes to condensed
consolidated financial statements. The loan agreement allows interest only payments until December
31, 2008. If the agreement is not renewed by December 31, 2008 and a balance is outstanding, then
the line of credit converts into a term agreement requiring equal monthly principal plus interest
payments through December 31, 2011 and is collateralized by all of RMIs and the Companys assets.

potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these
indemnification agreements is unlimited. However, the Company has a directors and officers
liability insurance policy specifically covering Meadow Valley Corporation and RMI has a directors
and officers liability insurance policy specifically covering RMI. Both policies enable each
company separately to recover a portion of any future amounts paid up to $10.0 million each.
In August 2008, a lawsuit was filed against the Company and each of the Companys directors in
connection with the Companys previously announced Agreement and Plan of Merger dated July 28, 2008
with Phoenix Parent Corp. and Phoenix Merger Sub Inc. The complaint alleges, among other matters,
that the Company and its directors breached their fiduciary duties for failure to maximize
shareholder value in the negotiation of the merger. In October 2008, the plaintiff filed an
amended complaint, which is similar to the original complaint except it includes an additional
claim against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty and a claim against the
defendants of allegedly materially misleading and/or incomplete statements in the Companys proxy
statement. The
Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to vigorously defend itself.
As a result, the Company believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is
minimal and has not recorded liabilities for these agreements as of September 30, 2008.

6. Commitments (Continued):
The Company enters into indemnification provisions under its agreements with other companies
in the ordinary course of business, typically with business partners, customers, landlords, lenders
and lessors. Under these provisions, the Company generally indemnifies and holds harmless the
indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of the
Companys activities or, in some cases, as a result of the indemnified partys activities under the
agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make
under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. The Company has not incurred material costs to
defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the
Company believes the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company
has no liabilities recorded for these agreements as of September 30, 2008.
7. Statement of Cash Flows:
Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activities:
The Company recognized investing and financing activities that affected assets and
liabilities, but did not result in cash receipts or payments. These non-cash activities are as
follows:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company financed the purchase of
equipment in the amounts of $1,995,729 and $2,631,933, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company incurred $333,290 and
$521,703, respectively, in stock-based compensation expense associated with stock option grants to
employees, directors and consultants.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company realized income tax
benefits of $0 and $86,085, respectively, as a result of disqualifying dispositions of incentive
stock options and exercises of nonqualified stock options, which is included in income taxes
payable and additional paid-in capital.
8. Litigation and Claim Matters:
The Company and its subsidiaries are party to legal proceedings in the ordinary course of
business. With the exception of the matters detailed below, the Company believes that the nature
of these proceedings (which generally relate to disputes between the Company, or the Companys
subsidiaries, and its subcontractors, material suppliers or customers regarding payment for work
performed or materials supplied) are typical for a construction firm of its size and scope, and no
other pending proceedings are deemed to be materially detrimental and some claims may prove
beneficial to the Companys financial condition.
The following proceedings represent matters that may be material and have been referred to
legal counsel for further action:
Requests for Equitable Adjustment to Construction Contracts
. MVCI has made claims as
described below on the following contracts:
|
(1)
|
|
Two contracts with the New Mexico State Highway and Transportation Department
The approximate total value of claims on these projects is $12,002,782 of which
$8,336,931 is on behalf of MVCI and the balance of $3,665,851 is on behalf of the prime
contractor or subcontractors. The primary issues are changed conditions, plan errors
and omissions, contract modifications and
associated delay costs. In addition, the projects were not completed within the
adjusted contract time because of events giving rise to the claims. The prosecution of
the claims will include the appropriate extensions of contract time to offset any
potential liquidated damages. The trial date has been postponed to May 4, 2009.

Federal Highway Administration The approximate total value of claims on this
project is $7,081,529, of which $6,751,940 is on behalf of MVCI and the balance of
$329,589 is on behalf of a subcontractor. The primary issues are unforeseen
conditions, changed conditions, plan errors and omissions, contract modifications and
associated delay costs. In addition, the projects were not completed within the
adjusted contract time because of events giving rise to the claims. On September 18,
2006, MVCI submitted a formal claim with the Federal Highway Administration. On
September 28, 2007, the Federal Highway Administration denied all of MVCIs claims. On
September 9, 2008, the Company announced it had reached a settlement of its $7,081,529
claim with Federal Highway Administration for $3,200,000.
|
The combined total of all outstanding claims as of September 30, 2008 is $12,002,782. MVCIs
portion of the total claims is $8,336,931 and the balance pertaining to a prime contractor or
subcontractors claims is $3,665,851. Total claim amounts reported by MVCI are approximate and are
subject to revision as final documentation progresses and as issues are resolved and/or payments
made. Claim amounts do not include any prejudgment interest, if applicable. Relative to the
aforementioned claims, the Company has recorded $1,729,676 in cumulative claims receivable to
offset a portion of costs incurred to date on the claims.
The Company has not accrued a liability related to the prime contractor or subcontractors
claims as no liability would be deemed payable if their portion of the claims did not receive a
favorable final outcome. Correspondingly, no receivable has been recorded for overhead and profit
included in their portion of the claims on the Companys behalf.
Although the Company believes that the claims receivable amount represents a reasonably
conservative posture, any claim proceeds ultimately paid to the Company less than the aggregate
amount recorded on the balance sheet of $1,729,676, will decrease earnings. Conversely, a payment
for those same items in excess of $1,729,676 will result in increased income.
The portion of accounts receivable pertaining to retention withheld on the contracts for which
claims have been filed totals $879,763. The degree to which the Company is successful in
prosecuting its claims may also impact the amount of retention paid by the owners on the contracts.
The Company believes that all retention amounts currently being held by the owners on the
contracts with outstanding claims will be paid in full in accordance with the contract terms.
Therefore, no allowance has been made to reduce the receivables due from the retention on the
disputed contracts.
Lawsuits Filed Against Meadow Valley Contractors, Inc., Ready Mix, Inc. and Meadow Valley
Corporation

MVCI is defending a claimed preference, in the Third Judicial Court of Salt
Lake County, Utah, in connection with a payment made to it by an insurance company,
Southern America Insurance Company, in the approximate amount of $100,000. In January
2008, the court entered judgment against MVCI in the amount of approximately $185,000,
representing the original claim amount plus interest. In April 2008, MVCI settled this
lawsuit for an amount less than the judgment amount.

MVCI, through its insurance company, is providing a defense to the State of
Arizona, pursuant to its obligations under its contract, for a complaint brought by the
parents of Corey James and Michelle James in the Superior Court of the State of
Arizona, in and for the County of Pinal. The complaint, No. CV00400744, was filed on
July 9, 2004. The complaint is a civil action titled John James, the Father of Decedent
Corey James, Donna James, the mother of Decedent Corey James, Marjorie Surine, the
Mother of Decedent Michelle James and Joseph Burkhamer, the Father of Decedent Michelle
James, Plaintiffs, vs. The State of Arizona, a Body Politic; John Does and Jane Does
1-10; ABC Companies 1-5; and Black and White Corporations, Partnerships and/or Sole
proprietorships 1-10, or Other Entities, Defendants. The complaint seeks damages from
the State of Arizona for losses suffered by the plaintiffs as a result of a traffic
accident. In January 2006, Joseph Burkhamer, the father of decedent Michelle James, was
dismissed from the complaint and also in 2008 his appeal was dismissed. During 2007,
MVCIs insurance company settled with the remaining plaintiffs with no additional
responsibility for MVCI.

On November 8, 2007, Kitchell Contractors, Inc. of Arizona filed a complaint
(CV2007-020708) in the Superior Court of the State of Arizona, against RMI for
reimbursement of costs they incurred to remove and replace concrete totaling
approximately $200,000. The claim alleges that the materials supplied to a
construction project did not meet the minimum standards as defined in the contract
between the parties. RMI is disputing the claim and is vigorously defending against
the complaint. As such, no liability has been recorded as of September 30, 2008
related to this matter.

On August 5, 2008, a lawsuit was filed in the Clark County, Nevada District
Court under Case No. A569007 Dept. XIII against the Company, each of the Companys
directors, Phoenix Parent Corp. and Phoenix Merger Sub Inc. by Pennsylvania Avenue
Funds in connection with the Companys previously announced Agreement and Plan of
Merger dated July 28, 2008 with Phoenix Parent Corp. and Phoenix Merger Sub Inc. The
complaint alleges, among other matters, that the Company and its directors breached
their fiduciary duties for failure to maximize shareholder value in the negotiation of
the merger. The complaint further alleges that Phoenix Parent Corp. and Phoenix Merger
Sub Inc. aided and abetted the alleged breach of fiduciary duties by the directors of
the Company. The plaintiff is seeking class action certification on behalf of all
shareholders of the Company (other than the defendants) and has requested that the
court enjoin the merger or, if the merger is consummated prior to the entry of the
courts final judgment, rescind the merger or award an unspecified amount of monetary
damages. On October 7, 2008, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which the
Company received on October 15, 2008. The amended complaint is similar to the original
complaint except it includes an additional claim against the individual defendants for
breach of fiduciary duty based on alleged materially misleading and/or incomplete
statements in the proxy statement. On or about October 20, 2008, counsel for the
individual defendants, after contacting plaintiffs counsel, agreed to accept service
of the amended complaint on the individual defendants behalf; however, plaintiffs
counsel has not yet provided an acceptance of service to counsel for the individual
defendants. The Company believes that this lawsuit is without merit and intends to
vigorously defend itself.

9. Earnings per Share:
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share, provides for the
calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share includes no dilution
and is computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number
of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential
dilution of securities that could share in the earnings of an entity, as set forth below:

All dilutive common stock equivalents are reflected in our earnings per share calculations.
Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents are not included in our earnings per share calculations.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, the Company had outstanding options to purchase
187,026 shares of common stock at a range of $1.46 to $9.38 per share, which were included in the
earnings per share calculation as they were dilutive and outstanding options and warrants to
purchase 186,879 shares of common stock at a range of $10.11 to $13.88 per share, which were not
included in the earnings per share calculation as they were anti-dilutive.

MEADOW VALLEY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
9. Earnings per Share (Continued):
The Companys diluted net income per common share at September 30, 2007 is computed based on
the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period and the
weighted average number of shares underlying options and warrants to purchase 400,064 common shares
at a range of $1.46 to $12.60. The weighted average number of shares underlying options to
purchase 15,000 shares at $13.88 per share were outstanding at September 30, 2007, but were not
included in the computation of diluted net income per common shares because the options exercise
price was greater than the average market price of the common share.
10. Income Taxes:
The Companys effective tax rate is based on expected income, statutory tax rates and tax
planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim
financial reporting, in accordance with APB Opinion No. 28, the Company estimates the annual tax
rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax
provision in accordance with the anticipated annual rate. As the year progresses, we refine the
estimates of the years taxable income as new information becomes available, including year-to-date
financial results. This continual estimation process can result in a change to the expected
effective tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision
during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision
reflects the expected annual tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the
Companys effective tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions.
The effective income tax rate of approximately 36% and 37% for the nine months ended September
30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, differed from the statutory rate, due primarily to state income
taxes and non-deductible stock-based compensation expense associated with employee incentive stock
options.

There are no differences in accounting principles between the three segments. All centrally
incurred costs are allocated to the construction services segment. A management fee is allocated

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statement Disclosure
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the documents we incorporate by reference herein
include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform
Act of 1995, that involve known and unknown risks. All statements other than statements of
historical facts contained in this Form 10-Q and the documents we incorporate by reference,
including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy and plans and
objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words
believe, may, estimate, continue, anticipate, intend, should, plan, could,
target, potential, is likely, will, expect and words of similar import or statements of
our managements opinion, as they relate to us, are intended to identify forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. These forward-looking statements and assumptions
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results,
market performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or
achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Important factors that could
cause such differences include, but are not limited to the following: (1) the occurrence of any
event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger
agreement, (2) the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been or may be in the future
instituted against the Company and others following announcement of the merger agreement, (3) the
inability to complete the merger due to the failure to obtain stockholder approval or satisfy other
conditions to the closing of the merger, (4) failure of any party to the merger agreement to abide
by the terms of that agreement, (5) risks that the merger, including the uncertainty surrounding
the closing of the merger, will disrupt the current plans and operations of the Company, including
as a result of undue distraction of management and personnel retention problems, (6) conflicts of
interest that may exist between members of management who will be participating in the ownership of
the Company following the closing of the merger and (7) the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and
charges related to the merger, including the impact of any termination fees the Company may incur,
which may be substantial. Furthermore, the expectations expressed in forward-looking statements
about the Company could materially differ from the actual outcomes because of changes in demand for
the Companys products and services, the timing of new orders and contract awards, the Companys
ability to successfully win contract bids, the impact of competitive products and pricing, excess
or shortage of production capacity, bonding capacity, and the other risks, uncertainties and
assumptions described in Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2007, and any changes thereto in Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors of this Form 10-Q and
of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ended June 30, 2008. We have based these forward-looking
statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial
trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy
and financial needs. Further, our past results of operations do not necessarily indicate our future
results. Moreover, the construction services segment and the construction materials segment of our
business are very competitive and rapidly changing. New risk factors emerge from time to time and
it is not possible for us to predict all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all
such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any risk factor, or combination of risk
factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statements.
Except as otherwise required by applicable laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update
or revise any forward-looking statements or the risk factors described in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q or in the documents we incorporate by reference, whether as a result of new information,
future events, changed circumstances or any other reason after the date of this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q. You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events or
performance. We cannot assure you that the events and circumstances reflected in the
forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Although we believe that the expectations
reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results,
levels of activity, performance or achievements.
General
The following is managements discussion and analysis of certain significant factors affecting
our financial position and operating results during the periods included in the accompanying
condensed consolidated financial statements. Except for the historical information contained
herein, the matters set forth in this discussion are forward-looking statements.
22
Revenue on uncompleted fixed price contracts is recorded under the percentage-of-completion
method of accounting. We begin to recognize revenue on our contracts when we first incur direct
costs. Contracts often involve work periods in excess of one year and revisions in cost and profit
estimates during construction are reflected in the accounting period in which the facts that
require the revisions become known. Losses on contracts, if any, are provided for in total when
determined, regardless of the percent complete.
In general, labor, equipment and disposable materials tend to be the types of costs with the
greatest uncertainty, and, therefore, have the greatest risk of variation from budgeted costs.
Permanent materials and subcontract costs tend to be more predictable and, to a greater degree, can
be fixed for the duration of the contract, and thus have less risk of variation from the original
estimate. We have avoided material deterioration of profit margins due to untimely delivery of
important construction materials or from rapidly rising costs of the same, and from minor cost
overruns due to rising costs of raw materials in our construction services segment. A significant
and unforeseen rise in the cost of crude oil could negatively impact our performance. Likewise,
prolonged shortages of raw materials could delay progress on projects, cause cost overruns and
potentially erode profit margins.
Overview
As with each quarter this year, the third quarter was significantly buoyed up by the
performance of our construction services segment. Entering fiscal 2008 with approximately $172.4
million in backlog provided a good deal of momentum for the construction services segment.
Contract backlog as of the end of the third quarter was approximately $145.1 million, 63.4% more
than a year ago, and should continue to provide near-term opportunity for solid performance from
the construction services segment. The construction services segment is primarily engaged in
public infrastructure construction and, so far, the public works sector of the construction
industry has been less affected by the turmoil in our nations economy. As a result, we have had
ample bidding opportunities, but what is apparent from the bidding is that competition is
intensifying both in terms of the number of bidders as well as tightening profit margins. Our
current bonding limits of approximately $250 million total bonding program and a single project
limit of approximately $100 million allow us to bid on larger projects which typically see fewer
bidders because of such high bonding requirements. Nonetheless, in todays competitive environment
we see an increased number of bidders on jobs of all sizes.
The sharp decline of the housing sector has been the primary cause of the recent poor
performance of our construction materials segment. Since demand for our product, ready-mix
concrete, depends entirely on the amount and location of construction activity and because most of
our facilities are located to best serve the residential or residential-related commercial
construction projects, we have been dramatically affected by this downturn. A few quarters ago,
what seemed to start as a slowdown in housing has now erupted into a full-blown global financial
crisis. It appears highly likely that we will experience a much more pronounced and longer
downturn than previously believed. Furthermore, commercial construction typically lags residential
construction and we have only begun to see the slowdown in commercial construction activity.
Accordingly, we have taken specific actions to reduce costs and preserve cash for our construction
materials segment. These actions include, but are not limited to: (i) not filling the vacancy
created by the promotion of our Vice President to President of RMI upon our Presidents retirement,
(ii) reducing construction materials segment administrative personnel, (iii) implementing a fuel
surcharge, and (iv) reducing operational overtime for the construction materials segment.
Subsequent to the third quarter ended September 30, 2008 we also imposed a 5% reduction in pay for
all construction materials segment salaried employees. We will continue to analyze our operations
for other opportunities to further reduce costs and preserve cash.
The quarters results were also favorably impacted by the settlement and payment of the
construction claim on what we have frequently referred to as the Gooseberry job. Our total claims
on this project were approximately $7.1 million and we agreed to settle all of these claims for
$3.2 million. While we feel strongly that our claims were valid and substantiated, the business
decision was made to settle as opposed to facing years of litigation that would likely ensue and
the accompanying legal costs. Since the claims receivable established on this project was
conservative, the difference between the net settlement amount (after paying certain subcontractor
claims) and the claim receivable was $2.3 million and was included in this quarters gross profit.

Recent Developments
On July 28, 2008, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger (Agreement) with
affiliates of Insight Equity I LP (Insight). Pursuant to the Agreement, each issued and
outstanding share of our common stock, par value $0.001 per share, will be converted into the right
to receive a cash payment in the amount of $11.25 per share without interest. Upon closing of the
transaction, our Companys common stock will no longer be publicly traded. The closing is subject
to a number of closing conditions, including the approval of our stockholders.
In accordance with the Agreement, the Special Committee of the Companys Board of Directors,
with the assistance of its financial and legal advisors, conducted a market test for 45 days by
soliciting superior proposals from other parties. The solicitation of proposals resulted in no
superior proposals or alternative transactions.
The Company filed its preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A and other materials with the
SEC on September 19, 2008 pursuant to the Agreement. The Company amended its proxy statement on
October 27, 2008 and November 19, 2008 in response to SEC review comments. Following completion of
the SECs review of these filings, the Company intends to promptly file a definitive proxy
statement and schedule a special meeting of shareholders to consider and vote on the agreement.
The Agreement provides for termination rights for both parties and certain termination rights
require the payment of fees and expenses in specific instances. We may be required to pay from
$500,000 up to 4.5% of the aggregate merger consideration plus, in each case, all of Insights
documented expenses related to this transaction if the Agreement is terminated in certain
instances.
On July 28, 2008, we announced the merger to the public by issuing a press release dated July
28, 2008 and by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the SEC with the Agreement, press release,
and a letter to our employees dated July 28, 2008 attached as exhibits. All of these documents are
available on our Internet site http://www.meadowvalley.com, however, the information on our
Internet site is not incorporated into this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.
On August 5, 2008, a lawsuit was filed in the Clark County, Nevada District Court under Case
No. A569007 Dept. XIII against us, each of our directors, Phoenix Parent Corp. and Phoenix
Merger Sub Inc. by Pennsylvania Avenue Funds in connection with our previously announced Agreement
and Plan of Merger dated July 28, 2008 with Phoenix Parent Corp. and Phoenix Merger Sub Inc. The
complaint alleges, among other matters, that we and our directors breached our fiduciary duties for
failure to maximize shareholder value in the negotiation of the merger. The complaint further
alleges that Phoenix Parent Corp. and Phoenix Merger Sub Inc. aided and abetted the alleged breach
of fiduciary duties by our directors of the Company. The plaintiff is seeking class action
certification on behalf of all shareholders of the Company (other than the defendants) and has
requested that the court enjoin the merger or, if the merger is consummated prior to the entry of
the courts final judgment, rescind the merger or award an unspecified amount of monetary damages.
On October 7, 2008, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which we received on October 15,
2008. The amended complaint is similar to the original complaint except it includes an additional
claim against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty and a claim against the
defendants of allegedly materially misleading and/or incomplete statements in the Companys proxy
statement. On or about October 20, 2008, counsel for the individual defendants, after contacting
plaintiffs counsel, agreed to accept service of the amended complaint on the individual
defendants behalf; however, plaintiffs counsel has not yet provided an acceptance of service to
counsel for the individual defendants. We believe that this lawsuit is without merit and we intend
to vigorously defend ourselves.
Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Judgments
Significant accounting policies are described in the audited consolidated financial statements
and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
We believe our most critical accounting policies are revenue recognition and cost estimation on
certain contracts for which we use a percentage-of-completion accounting method, our allowances for
doubtful accounts, our inventory allowance, the valuation of property and equipment, and our
accounting policies on contingencies, income taxes and the valuation of stock-based compensation.
The revenue recognition and cost estimation accounting method is applied by our construction
services segment to heavy construction projects executed under multi-year contracts with various
customers.
24
Revenue and costs from fixed-price and modified fixed-price construction contracts are
recognized for each contract on the percentage-of-completion method, measured by the percentage of
costs incurred to date to the estimated total of direct costs. Direct costs include, among other
things, direct labor, field labor, equipment rent, subcontracting, direct materials, and direct
overhead. General and administrative expenses are accounted for as period costs and are,
therefore, not included in the calculation of the estimates to complete construction contracts in
progress. Project losses are provided for in their entirety in the period in which such losses are
determined, without reference to the percentage-of-completion. As contracts can extend over one or
more accounting periods, revisions in costs and earnings estimated during the course of the work
are reflected during the accounting period in which the facts that required such revisions become
known.
The asset costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings on uncompleted contracts
represents revenue recognized in excess of amounts billed. The liability billings in excess of
costs and estimated earnings on uncompleted contracts represents billings in excess of revenues
recognized.
The complexity of the estimation process and all issues related to the assumptions, risks and
uncertainties inherent with the application of the percentage-of-completion method of accounting
affects the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements. A number of
internal and external factors affect our percentage-of-completion estimates, including labor rate
and efficiency variances, estimated future material prices and customer specification changes. If
our business conditions were different, or if we used different assumptions in the application of
this accounting policy, it is likely that materially different amounts would be reported in our
condensed consolidated financial statements.
We are required to estimate the collectability of our accounts receivable. A considerable
amount of judgment is required in assessing the realization of these receivables, including the
current credit worthiness of each customer and the related aging of the past due balances. Our
provision for bad debts at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 amounted to $725,288 and
$594,722, respectively. We determine our reserve by using percentages applied to certain aged
receivable categories and percentages of certain types of revenue generated, as well as a review of
the individual accounts outstanding and our collection history.
We are required to state our inventories at the lower of cost or market. In assessing the
ultimate realization of inventories, we are required to make judgments as to the future demand
requirements and compare these with the current inventory levels. Our reserve requirements
generally increase as our projected demand requirements decrease due to market conditions and
longer than expected usage periods. At September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, inventories of
$1,745,632 and $1,232,478, respectively, are net of reserves of $199,936. It is possible that
significant changes in required inventory reserves may occur in the future if there is a further
decline in market conditions or market activity.
We are required to provide property and equipment net of depreciation and amortization
expense. We expense depreciation and amortization utilizing the straight-line method over what we
believe to be the estimated useful lives of the assets. Leasehold improvements are amortized over
their estimated useful lives or the lease term, whichever is shorter. The life of any piece of
equipment can vary, even within the same category of equipment, due to the quality of the
maintenance, care provided by the operator and the general environmental conditions, such as
temperature, weather severity and the terrain in which the equipment operates. We maintain,
service and repair a majority of our equipment through the use of our mechanics. If we
inaccurately estimate the life of any given piece of equipment or category of equipment we may be
overstating or understating earnings in any given period.
We also review our property and equipment for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability
of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to
future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be
impaired, the impairment recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the
assets exceeds the fair value of the assets. Impairments are recognized in the period during which
they are identified. Assets to be disposed of, if any, are reported at the lower of the carrying
amount or fair value less costs to sell.
We are required to estimate our income taxes in each jurisdiction in which we operate. This
process requires us to estimate the actual current tax exposure together with assessing temporary
differences resulting from differing treatment of items for tax and financial reporting purposes.
These temporary differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities on our balance sheets.
We must calculate the blended tax rate, combining all applicable tax
25
jurisdictions, which can vary over time as a result of the allocation of taxable income
between the tax jurisdictions and the changes in tax rates. We must also assess the likelihood
that the deferred tax assets, if any, will be recovered from future taxable income and, to the
extent recovery is not likely, must establish a valuation allowance. This assessment is
complicated by the fact that we are required to consolidate our subsidiaries for financial
reporting purposes, while being separately reported for tax purposes. As of September 30, 2008, we
had total deferred tax asset of $0.7 million with no valuation allowance and total deferred tax
liability of $2.6 million. The deferred tax asset does not contain a valuation allowance as we
believe we will be able to utilize the deferred tax asset through future taxable income.
Furthermore, we are subject to periodic review by domestic tax authorities for audit of our
income tax returns. These audits generally include questions regarding our tax filing positions,
including the amount and timing of deductions and the allocation of income among various tax
jurisdictions. In evaluating the exposures associated with our various tax filing positions,
including federal and state taxes, we believe we have complied with the rules of the service codes
and therefore have not recorded reserves for any possible exposure. Typically the taxing
authorities can audit the previous three years of tax returns and in certain situations audit
additional years, therefore a significant amount of time may pass before an audit is conducted and
fully resolved. Although no audits are currently being conducted, if a taxing authority would
require us to amend a prior years tax return we would record the increase or decrease in our tax
obligation in the period in which it is more likely than not to be realized.
We use the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, to value stock-based payment
awards. Under this method we recognize compensation expense for all stock-based payments granted.
In accordance with SFAS 123R we use the Black Scholes option valuation model to value the
stock-based payment awards. Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123R, we recognize
stock-based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate and only recognize compensation cost
for those shares expected to vest on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of the
award.
Determining the appropriate fair value model and calculating the fair value of share-based
payment awards requires the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected life of
the share-based payment awards and stock price volatility. The assumptions used in calculating the
fair value of share-based payment awards represent managements best estimates, but these estimates
involve inherent uncertainties and the application of managements judgment. As a result, if
factors change and we use different assumptions, our stock-based compensation expense could be
materially different in the future. In addition, we are required to estimate the expected
forfeiture rate and only recognize expense for those shares expected to vest. If our actual
forfeiture rate is materially different from our estimate, the stock-based compensation expense
could be significantly different from what we have recorded in the current period. See Note 3
Stock-Based Compensation in the accompanying notes to the condensed consolidated financial
statements for a further discussion on stock-based compensation.
As discussed elsewhere in this filing, we disclose various litigation and claims matters.
These issues involve significant estimates and judgments, which may materially change in future
periods due to change in circumstances.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2008, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 161 Disclosures about Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires companies with derivative
instruments to disclose information that should enable financial-statement users to understand how
and why a company uses derivative instruments, how derivative instruments and related hedged items
are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect a companys financial
position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements
issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We are currently
evaluating the impact, if any, that SFAS 161 will have on our financial statements.
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible
Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal
or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of FSP 142-3 on
its financial position and results of operations.
26
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (SFAS 162). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the
framework for selecting the principles used in the preparation of financial statements. SFAS 162 is
effective 60 days following the SECs approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
amendments to AU Section 411, The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted
Accounting Principles. The implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on our
financial position and results of operations.
In June 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-3, Accounting for Lessees for Maintenance
Deposits Under Lease Arrangements (EITF 08-3). EITF 08-3 provides guidance for accounting for
nonrefundable maintenance deposits. It also provides revenue recognition accounting guidance for
the lessor. EITF 08-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The
implementation of this standard will not have a material impact on our financial position and
results of operations.
In September 2008, the FASB issued FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4, Disclosures about Credit
Derivatives and Certain Guarantees: An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 and FASB Interpretation
No. 45; and Clarification of the Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 161 (FSP 133-1 and FIN
45-4). FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 amends and enhances disclosure requirements for sellers of credit
derivatives and financial guarantees. It also clarifies that the disclosure requirements of SFAS
No. 161 are effective for quarterly periods beginning after November 15, 2008, and fiscal years
that include those periods. FSP 133-1 and FIN 45-4 is effective for reporting periods (annual or
interim) ending after November 15, 2008. The implementation of this standard will not have a
material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
In September 2008, the FASB ratified EITF Issue No. 08-5, Issuers Accounting for Liabilities
Measured at Fair Value With a Third-Party Credit Enhancement (EITF 08-5). EITF 08-5 provides
guidance for measuring liabilities issued with an attached third-party credit enhancement (such as
a guarantee). It clarifies that the issuer of a liability with a third-party credit enhancement
(such as a guarantee) should not include the effect of the credit enhancement in the fair value
measurement of the liability. EITF 08-5 is effective for the first reporting period beginning
after December 15, 2008. The Company is currently assessing the impact of EITF 08-5 on its
financial position and results of operations.
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-3 Determining Fair Value of a Financial Asset in a
Market That Is Not Active (FSP 157-3). FSP 157-3 clarified the application of SFAS No. 157 in
an inactive market. It demonstrated how the fair value of a financial asset is determined when the
market for that financial asset is inactive. FSP 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including
prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. The implementation of this
standard did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current
or future effect on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is
material to investors.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007
Revenue and Backlog.
Consolidated revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2008, which
we refer to as interim 2008, was $178.2 million compared to $156.2 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007, which we refer to as interim 2007. The increase in revenue was
primarily the result of a $33.7 million increase in revenue from the construction services segment
and a $0.1 million increase in the construction materials testing segment, offset by $11.8 million
decrease in revenue from the construction materials segment. The decreased revenue from the
construction materials segment resulted primarily from a 15.4% decrease in the sale of cubic yards
of concrete, which we refer to as units, aggravated by a 5.9% decrease in the average unit sales
price. The construction services segment revenue was impacted by the amount of the progress
schedules of current projects in progress and nature of the contracts contained in the backlog at
the beginning of interim 2008.
Gross Profit.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $16.1 million for interim 2008 from $13.1
million for interim 2007, and consolidated gross margin, as a percent of revenue, increased to 9.0%
in interim 2008 from 8.4% in interim 2007. Gross profit from the construction services segment
increased to $15.6 million in interim 2008 when compared to $7.7 million in interim 2007, and the
gross profit margin increased to 12.2% in interim 2008 from 8.1% in interim 2007. Gross profit
margins in the construction services segment were positively affected by the settlement of a claim
on a closed project. Net claims proceeds received in excess of amounts previously recorded as
claims receivable were approximately $2.3 million. Gross profit from the construction materials
segment decreased to $0.3 million in interim 2008 from $5.6 million in interim 2007 and the gross
profit margin decreased to 0.6% from 9.2% in the respective periods. The decrease from the
construction materials segment in gross profit margin during interim 2008 was primarily due to the
reduced sales volume, reduced average selling price, and higher fixed costs associated with the
increased capacity completed during 2007 and early 2008.
General and Administrative Expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased to $10.1
million for interim 2008 from $9.3 million in interim 2007. General and administrative expenses
increased due to increases in public company costs, including merger related costs, accounting and
auditing fees, legal fees, and consulting fees totaling $1.5 million offset by decreases in
compensation costs and bad debt expenses totaling $0.7 million.
28
Interest Income, Expense and Other Income (Expense).
Interest income and other income
(expense) decreased $0.9 million, while interest expense decreased $0.1 million in interim 2008
when compared to interim 2007. Other income (expense) decreased due to gains on the sale of
equipment in interim 2007.
Income Taxes.
The income tax provision for interim 2008 increased $0.4 million when compared
with interim 2007. The interim 2008 income tax provision was $2.3 million compared to an income tax
provision of $1.9 million for interim 2007.
Net Income.
Net income was $4.7 million for interim 2008 as compared to net income of $2.5
million for interim 2007. The overall increase in net income was the result of the additive effect
of minority interest on RMIs net losses in interim 2008 compared to a reduction of minority
interest on RMIs net income in interim 2007.
Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2007
Revenue and Backlog.
Consolidated revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2008, which
we refer to as 3rd quarter 2008, was $60.8 million compared to $54.9 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2007, which we refer to as 3rd quarter 2007. The increase in revenue was
primarily the result of an $8.7 million increase in revenue from the construction services segment,
offset by a $2.6 million decrease in revenue from the construction materials segment. The decreased
revenue from the construction materials segment resulted primarily from an 8.9% decrease in the
sale of cubic yards of concrete, which we refer to as units, compounded by a 6.5% decrease in the
average unit sales price. The construction services segment revenue was impacted by the amount of
the progress schedules of current projects in progress and nature of the contracts contained in the
backlog at the beginning of 3rd quarter 2008.
Gross Profit.
Consolidated gross profit increased to $7.7 million for 3rd quarter 2008 from
$4.4 million for 3rd quarter 2007, and consolidated gross margin, as a percent of revenue,
increased to 12.7% in 3rd quarter 2008 from 8.0% in 3rd quarter 2007. Gross profit from the
construction services segment increased to $7.8 million in 3rd quarter 2008 when compared to $3.3
million in 3rd quarter 2007, and the gross profit margin increased to 17.4% in 3rd quarter 2008
from 9.1% in 3rd quarter 2007. Gross profit margins in the construction services segment were
positively affected by the settlement of a claim on a closed project. Net claims proceeds received
in 3rd quarter 2008 in excess of amounts previously recorded as claims receivable were
approximately $2.3 million. Gross profit from the construction materials segment decreased $1.1
million in 3rd quarter 2008 from $1.1 million in 3rd quarter 2007 and the gross profit margin
decreased to 0.1% from 6.0% in the respective periods. The decrease from the construction materials
segment in gross profit margin during 3rd quarter 2008 was primarily due to reduced sales volume,
reduced average selling price, and higher fixed costs associated with the increased capacity
completed during 2007 and interim 2008.
General and Administrative Expenses.
General and administrative expenses increased to $4.6
million for 3rd quarter 2008 from $3.1 million in 3rd quarter 2007. General and administrative
expenses increased due to increases in public company costs, accounting and auditing fees, legal
fees and bad debt expense totaling $1.6 million offset by decreases in compensation costs totaling
$0.1 million.
Interest Income, Expense and Other Income (Expense).
Interest income and other income
(expense) decreased $0.3 million, while interest expense remained flat in 3rd quarter 2008 compared
to 3rd quarter 2007. Other income (expense) decreased due to gains on the sale of equipment in 3rd
quarter 2007.
Income Taxes.
The income tax provision for 3rd quarter 2008 was $1.2 million compared to an
income tax provision of $0.7 million for 3rd quarter 2007.
Net Income.
Net income was $2.3 million for 3rd quarter 2008 as compared to net income of $1.1
million for 3rd quarter 2007.
29
Seasonality
The construction industry is seasonal, generally due to inclement weather and length of
daylight hours occurring in the winter months. Accordingly, we may experience a seasonal pattern in
our operating results with lower revenue in the first and fourth quarters of each calendar year.
Quarterly results may also be affected by the timing of bid solicitations by governmental
authorities, the stage of completion of major projects and revenue recognition policies. Results
for any one particular quarter, therefore, may not be indicative of results for other quarters or
for the year.
Inflation
Inflation has not had a material impact on our financial results; however, increases in liquid
asphalt, fuel, aggregates, the purchase price of certain other materials and transportation costs
have affected our costs of construction. These increases have been mitigated in our financial
results due to our general anticipation of cost increases, such as those discussed above, and were
considered in our bids to customers on proposed new construction projects. Some of our customers
also provide for adjustments in certain construction material prices that are based upon published
commodity cost indexes.
Where we are the successful bidder on a project, we execute purchase agreements with material
suppliers and contracts with subcontractors covering the prices and quantities of most materials
and services, other than fuel products, thereby mitigating future price increases and supply
disruptions.
There can be no assurance that liquid asphalt, fuel, aggregates or other construction
materials used in our business will be adequately covered by the estimated escalation we have
included in our bidding process or that all of our vendors will fulfill their pricing and supply
commitments under their purchase agreements and contracts with us. We adjust our total estimated
costs on our projects where we believe it is probable that we will have cost increases which will
not be recovered from customers or vendors.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary need for capital will be to maximize our working capital to continually improve
our bonding limits. RMI no longer guarantees any Meadow Valley debt; however, Meadow Valley
Corporation continues to maintain certain guarantees for the benefit of RMI. We expect, but cannot
assure, that eventually there will be no guarantees between the two related companies. As we expand
our businesses we will continue to utilize the availability of capital offered by financial
institutions, in turn increasing our total debt and debt service obligations.
Our level of working capital may be adversely impacted by the closing of the merger. We will
incur additional significant professional fees, including legal fees defending the Company and its
board members in the lawsuit discussed above, in connection with the closing of the merger.
Historically, our largest provider of financing has been Wells Fargo Equipment Financing,
Inc., formerly known as CIT Construction, who we refer to as WFE. We believe our working capital
and our historical sources of capital will be satisfactory to meet our needs for at least one year
from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
In October 2007, we amended and restated our line of credit agreements with WFE. This
amendment combined a $3.0 million line of credit and an approximately $2.0 million line of credit
into a single $10.0 million line of credit for MVCI. This amendment reduced MVCIs interest rate
from .75% to .25% plus the Chase Manhattan Banks prime rate. This agreement with WFE also provides
MVCI a capital expenditure commitment of $10.0 million. As of September 30, 2008, MVCI had
approximately $9.7 million available on this revolving credit facility and also had approximately
$8.3 million available on the capital expenditure commitment.
We also have an additional credit facility with WFE which provides RMI with a $5.0 million
line of credit, as well as a $15.0 million capital expenditure commitment. As of September 30,
2008, RMI had approximately $4.3
million available on its revolving credit facility and also had approximately $6.7 million
available on the capital expenditure commitment.
30
These WFE credit facilities are collateralized by each of our subsidiarys assets and are
guaranteed by the Company.

Cash provided by operating activities during interim 2008 of $19.1 million represents a $6.0
million increase from the amount provided by operating activities during interim 2007. The change
was primarily due to the increase in cash received from customers, partially offset by increases in
cash paid to our suppliers and our employees.
Cash used in investing activities during interim 2008 of $1.0 million represents a $10.4
million decrease from the amount used in investing activities during interim 2007. The change was
primarily due to the purchase of minority interest common stock in interim 2007 and the decrease in
the purchase of property and equipment during interim 2008.
Cash used in financing activities during interim 2008 of $3.4 million represents a $.9 million
decrease from the amount used in financing activities during interim 2007. The change was primarily
due to the decrease in cash used in repayments of notes payable.
Website Access
Our website address is www.meadowvalley.com. On our website we make available, free of charge,
our Annual Report on Form 10-K, our most recent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on
Form 8-K, Forms 3, 4, and 5 related to beneficial ownership of securities, our code of ethics and
all amendments to those reports as soon as reasonably practicable after such material is
electronically filed with or furnished to the SEC. The information on our website is not
incorporated into, and is not part of, this report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk generally represents the risk that losses may occur in the values of financial
instruments as a result of movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and
commodity prices. We do not have foreign currency exchange rate and commodity price market risk.
Interest Rate RiskFrom time to time we temporarily invest our excess cash in interest-bearing
securities issued by high-quality issuers. We monitor risk exposure to monies invested in
securities in our financial institutions. Due to the short time the investments are outstanding and
their general liquidity, these instruments are classified as cash equivalents in our condensed
consolidated balance sheets and do not represent a material interest rate risk. Our primary market
risk exposure for changes in interest rates relates to our long-term debt obligations. We manage
our exposure to changing interest rates principally through the use of a combination of fixed and
floating rate debt.
We evaluated the potential effect that near term changes in interest rates would have had on
the fair value of our interest rate risk sensitive financial instruments at September 30, 2008.
Assuming a 100 basis point increase in the prime interest rate at September 30, 2008, the potential
increase in our debt obligations would have been approximately $9,300 at September 30, 2008. See
Note 4 Notes Payable and Note 5 Lines of Credit in the notes of the accompanying September 30,
2008 condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, based on their evaluation of
our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e))
as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, have concluded that (i)
our disclosure controls and procedures are effective for ensuring that information required to be
disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities
and Exchange Commissions rules and forms and (ii) our disclosure controls and procedures include,
without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our
management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons
performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required
disclosure.
32
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
our last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
For information about legal proceedings involving us, see Note 8 Litigation and Claim
Matters to the condensed consolidated financial statements in Part I of this report, which we
incorporate by reference into this Item 1.
On August 5, 2008, a lawsuit was filed in the Clark County, Nevada District Court under Case
No. A569007 Dept. XIII against us, each of our directors, Phoenix Parent Corp. and Phoenix Merger
Sub Inc. by Pennsylvania Avenue Funds in connection with our previously announced Agreement and
Plan of Merger dated July 28, 2008 with Phoenix Parent Corp. and Phoenix Merger Sub Inc. The
complaint alleges, among other matters, that we and our directors breached our fiduciary duties for
failure to maximize shareholder value in the negotiation of the merger. The complaint further
alleges that Phoenix Parent Corp. and Phoenix Merger Sub Inc. aided and abetted the alleged breach
of fiduciary duties by our directors of the Company. The plaintiff is seeking class action
certification on behalf of all shareholders of the Company (other than the defendants) and has
requested that the court enjoin the merger or, if the merger is consummated prior to the entry of
the courts final judgment, rescind the merger or award an unspecified amount of monetary damages.
On October 7, 2008, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which we received on October 15,
2008. The amended complaint is similar to the original complaint except it includes an additional
claim against the individual defendants for breach of fiduciary duty and a claim against the
defendants of allegedly materially misleading and/or incomplete statements in the Companys proxy
statement. On or about October 20, 2008, counsel for the individual defendants, after contacting
plaintiffs counsel, agreed to accept service of the amended complaint on the individual
defendants behalf; however, plaintiffs counsel has not yet provided an acceptance of service to
counsel for the individual defendants. We believe that this lawsuit is without merit and we intend
to vigorously defend ourselves.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the
factors and risks listed below, among others, could affect our future performance and should be
carefully considered in evaluating our outlook. You should also carefully consider the factors
discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2007 and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the
quarterly period ended June 30, 2008, which could materially affect our business, financial
condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and our
Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties
not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely
affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
Our operating results may be adversely impacted by worldwide political and economic
uncertainties and these conditions may be more prevalent or may have more of an adverse effect in
our operating markets as it relates to various construction industries. As a result, the market
price of our common stock may decline.
Recently general worldwide economic conditions have experienced a downturn due to the credit
conditions impacted by the subprime-mortgage turmoil, slower economic activity, concerns about
inflation and deflation, increased energy costs, decreased consumer confidence, reduced corporate
profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns in general, the
ongoing effects of the war in Iraq, recent international conflicts and terrorist and military
activity, and the impact of natural disasters, among others. These conditions make it extremely
difficult for our customers, our vendors and us to accurately forecast and plan future business
activities, and they could cause U.S. and foreign businesses to slow spending on products and
services that may negatively affect our operations, which could delay and lengthen sales cycles and
delay projects scheduled to bid in the near term. We experienced slowdowns in sales as a result of
the general residential housing downturn in the second half of 2006 that continued through 2007 and
thus far through 2008, and we may experience further
33
slowdowns in the future. Furthermore, during
challenging economic times our customers may face issues gaining timely access to
sufficient capital, which could result in an impairment of their ability to make timely payments to
us. If that were to occur, we may be required to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts and
our days sales outstanding would be negatively impacted. We cannot predict the timing, strength or
duration of any economic slowdown or subsequent economic recovery, worldwide, or in the
construction industry or, more specifically, the residential housing markets. If the economy or
markets in which we operate continue to deteriorate, our business, financial condition and results
of operations will likely be materially and adversely affected. Additionally, the combination of
increased downward pressure on pricing for the construction materials segment and increased
competition in low-bid public works projects in our construction services segment, coupled with
challenging macroeconomic conditions could have a synergistic negative impact on our business,
financial condition and results of operations.
